Apple, Why Is Replacing an iPhone Battery So Complicated?
I was vacationing in Thailand for the third time (still a great destination, by the way!). The recent floods disrupted some of my plans, and I hope everyone affected is safe. But there was one thing I really wanted to get done during my trip: replace the battery in my iPhone 15 Pro, which had …
The Journey of Journaling: My 10-Year App Experience
They say habits are hard to keep, and I agree. That’s why I’m proud of myself for journaling for almost 10 years now, starting in 2016. I still remember being at the zoo in New York and discovering the new Day One digital journal app. I thought to myself that it would be much easier …

Microsoft has a second chance at Browser Wars
Microsoft recently announced Edge, the new replacement for its legacy browser Internet Explorer.
