This is certainly true in the beginning of a game. Players claim to do this to warm up. However, in a busy confrontation there is no reason to spam any actions that are not directly contributing towards your endeavor. If you spam useless a

They added insult to injury to the 2.0 upgrade by releasing promo material (supposedly screenshots) [0] that looked exactly like what fans wanted from them. Turned out, those were fake and they quickly removed most of them and what they act

According to an help article by Apple [1], if you activate wifi or bluetooth during airplane mode, it will remember that and not disable those when you use airplane mode again. I was also surprised reading your comment as for my phone wifi

Although this is by far not the first landing of SpaceX boosters I've seen, this looked like scifi to me even in 2024.

Phones are ubiquitous in every country I've spent a reasonable amount of time so far. If my phone breaks I can just walk into a store and get a new one. The sensor will transfer its connection to the new phone within minutes. So that r

I'm a T1 diabetic and get my blood glucose values through my phone, bluetooth even. So disabling bluetooth as mitigation is not an option and the phone is crucial. The vendor doesn't support another or even a secondary device. Ho

HFCS is available in ratios with up to 90% fructose. Granted, I don't know what the average is in the food industry. But like other commenters said, it's mostly about the absolute amount. You can't realistically eat enough ap
