RE: screen curtain RE: Questions regarding Amazon Video, for a friend

It saves absolutely zip to turn on the screen curtain. The battery drain from the screen comes from the amount of backlighting (mostly) and screen curtain does not change the backlighting, it just artifically blackens the screen. There are assumptions that on a phone with an OLED screen like the

Yes, you can raise or lower it by one degree at a time with the up or down buttons. Or you can double tap on the Voice Recorder mic button and say set heat at 70 degrees, etc. Then, there will be a button to either set it as a permanent hold, or to hold until a certain time. You can also set

Apple's iPhone X bottleneck woes may be over.

This looks like good news!!! Hope this is true. A new supply chain report suggests that the chokepoints on iPhone X manufacturing are loosening, and shipments from assemblers may meet demand before the holiday season concludes. Contradicting earlier supply chain reports, DigiTimes claims

Re: Google mail question.

If you delete a message in Gmail, it should be removed from the server in about 30 days. I'm not sure if the 30 days starts from the time the message was received or the time the message was deleted. So for example, if you just deleted a message from last January, it may still stick around for

Lynn, When you first open the app, it defaults to the food section which counts your points for the day. If you go to the very bottom of that page there is a link to browse restaurants. When you double tap on that, swipe right a couple of times to the search bar. Type the name of the restaurant

Ray, I’m using the Logitech K480 and the f1 key still works as you describe. I do not here apostrophe, but I never paid attention to that so I do not know if that is a change or what. That could be determined by the punctuation setting for VoiceOver. I’m not clear on your messages question. If

I have several years of experience with the Nest thermostats: we own two, and we have two Nest smoke detectors as well (primarily because they will call your phone if an emergency occurs at home). The Nest app is moderately accessible … I have not been able to set schedules using it.

Gmail doesn't actually have folders on the servers. It attaches a label or set of labels to each message. When you're looking at a folder in Gmail, you're just looking at the messages on the server that have that label. So for example, when you delete a message, the trash lavel gets added to
