Not sure if there is. Already a thread like this but in this quarantine situation I figured we need a good pick me up
speaking of quarantine let’s talk Netflix. Ever notice how sometimes the movies and shows have louder sound effects but their voices are to low?
Go to audio and subtitles go down until you see English original.Netflix wil then have the voices more even with the sound

Yes, although most i've shared it with never do it, because they can't bring themselves to change the setting(afraid they'll miss a call or a text or something.)

Is the airplane mode faster than charging with the cell phone turned off?

Hmm... maybe? I mean if I need mine to charge real fast I shut it off but then again I can't do anything with it until then and I don't think wifi works with the phone off but I could be wrong.
Using wifi or any app that uses wifi will slow down the charging so I suppose whether or not it odes or doesn't at least we know a better way to charge it either way

I'm not sure, but I think charging when it's off is slower.

I think you are correct.

The best way to clean silver is this: 1.) Wrap the item with aluminum foil; 2.) Cover with a paste of baking soda and water. This prevents loss of silver content.

If what ever reason you get that weirdly tough sticky stuff from tape and no matter how much you scrub it won’t come off your skin use baby oil it comes off easily

YAY life hacks!

CONSUMERISM:
The single best life hack I have ever found is to keep my eyes open for what I like instead of just going for what is popular. My shoes, my phone, my laptop, my chocolate, everything about me is what I have found that works best for ME, not just what I grabbed off the shelf because everybody else was using it.

I'm a lot happier with what I own this way, and it's a LOT more functional for my use case.

POCKET STUFF:
My mother is always running around looking for her keys, her phone, her wallet, everything she needs before leaving the house. I made up my mind that will never happen to me. I have one designated spot where I dump all my pocket stuff at night. If my knife is not in my pocket, it's in that spot. I NEVER lose my car key.

It charges faster because "Airplane Mode" means "everything that broadcasts or listens for a signal is turned off." Of course it charges faster, because the phone is using much less power.
