At the very least, read the instructions and precautions on every tool you use.

If you're anything like me, the heat of the summer can often be unbearable. Where I live, it often gets as high as 108 degrees Fahrenheit, so anything that cools off is a welcome and amazing thing. Mister fans are especially amazing for cooling off, but they are usually very big and attached to buildings (which currently is way out of the picture for me.)
Valentine's Day is almost here, and if you're like me, you're scurrying to do something special for your mate.

Apple's digital health initiative in iOS 12 includes Screen Time, a settings menu that shows you how much time you spend playing games, reading news, and whatever else it is you do.

While this is all great, it's hidden inside the Settings app — but there's a faster way to access this data.
