I leave my phone on mute overnight but set an alarm for the morning to wake up? Seems pretty common.

i don't have an iphone, but i live my phone on all night because i assume if someone's gonna call me really late it's an emergency and if it's not i can just tell them they're a fucking idiot

You have a phone that's not going to receive push notifications and email all night though, right?
― mh, Sunday, 15 January 2012 15:41 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i have some lg flip phone piece of shit from 2009. i'm sure what i do wouldn't work for everyone, but it works for me. when i get an iphone i'll probably do the same thing i do now, except i'll also shut off most of the push notifications and other annoying shit
― markers, Sunday, 15 January 2012 15:49 (twelve years ago) link
i also shut sms off over two years ago, so i don't really have that to worry about -- no more 3 am text messages from friends who are in a bar in another country! rip
― markers, Sunday, 15 January 2012 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
why did you shut off sms
― dayo, Sunday, 15 January 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
imo if you have enough time to post on ilx then you don't really need push notifications enabled
― caek, Sunday, 15 January 2012 15:51 (twelve years ago) link
phones are these things you do web browsing on and check apps and send text messages on, and very rarely use the antiquated "voice call" feature

In December, however, seven months after the blast that killed Mr. Lai, another iPad factory exploded, this one in Shanghai. Once again, aluminum dust was the cause, according to interviews and Apple’s most recent supplier responsibility report. That blast injured 59 workers, with 23 hospitalized. “It is gross negligence, after an explosion occurs, not to realize that every factory should be inspected,” said Nicholas Ashford, the occupational safety expert, who is now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “If it were terribly difficult to deal with aluminum dust, I would understand. But do you know how easy dust is to control? It’s called ventilation. We solved this problem over a century ago.”

Marco disagreed with Ben Brooks the other day. Having read, can I now trust? Why are there no yardsticks for this sort of thing?
