I'd recommend looking at a tablet, either Android or iOS. Navigation is simpler in general, which means navigating via the screen reader (TTS) is going to be easier. You also get access to Google Now / Siri, which is nice in this

Having used Salesforce as a support ticketing system (because it integrated with what sales used), it really is painful to use. It's like a webapp from the 90s, every action triggers a complete page reload; complete with an occasionall

Keep in mind many Li-ion batteries have protection circuits that prevent the battery from being discharged too far. I don't know how much reserve they keep on hand, but what your OS reports as 0% charge is almost never actually that lo

Why would there be extra heat if the battery is fully charged? Shouldn't a well designed charge circuit disconnect once the battery hits 100%?

They do have some advice on "long-term" storage here, which is roughly along those lines: https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/ They don't say what "long-term" is, but mo

I've always been told that the number of cycles was the most important factor in battery life (but not the only one). A cycle is one complete charge+discharge, with partial credit for partial discharges — so discharging to 50% counts a

Yes. Just email the self-signed certificate to yourself, then open it up on the iOS device. You can also create a personal CA and install it the same way, if you plan on connecting to more than one host. A quick search turned up some more i

Normal helicopters can autorotate to perform a controlled emergency landing if the engine fails. Quadcopters don't have that option.

Caller ID as a Reply-To header is a really good way to think about it. It's worth noting that there is a more reliable piece of data for actually identifying callers: the ANI field. It doesn't show up on caller ID, but if you run

It's been some time since I ran my own mail server, but from what I recall, some spam filters actually give more negative weight (i.e. message is more likely to be spam) to a SOFTFAIL (~all) than a FAIL (-all), even though this contrar

That's the basic idea behind sandboxing, and it's a model that a lot of newer OSes are moving towards, especially in mobile. Android does this for all apps, as does iOS. MacOS is also doing it for apps downloaded from the App Stor

In my experience, Authy does port your OTP tokens between devices. The ones that use their backend infrastructure are tied to your phone number, and are ported automatically. Ones that you import from other TOTP-based systems via a QR code
