60 Minutes did a story on this condition four years ago or so. They called it "Super Memory". Actress Marilu Henner was one of the people that possess this super recall ability. Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/wa

Isn't there an inaudible tone that you can use to disable the assistant? I recall reading somewhere that Amazon used it in their commercials for Alexa so that everyone's Echos weren't lighting up during the commercials. I k

I didn't see this one mentioned. Use VPC end points for S3 to save cost. If you are using NAT gateways and S3 (probably applies to Dynamo as well) and your app is using S3 then you could be saving $$ by having that traffic run through

So true. My experience was that upgrading Apple OSes was a safe and reliable experience. I'd almost always upgrade on launch day or the day after. As of the last 2-3 releases that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Their qua

At least Apple has a simple way to disable Wifi right from the control center. Oh wait, they removed that in iOS 11. Now clicking the Wifi icon doesn't actually turn off Wifi. I guess no one will ever find similar issues w/that
