One of the major reasons why I love iPhones is because of their features, you can never go wrong. Apple does a wonderful job when it comes to its marquee features which are often exclusive to its product. Apple has again introduced a new satellite connectivity feature that blows all the other smartphones over the shelves.
iPhone 14 has in it a feature that makes it magical, even though it is basic, it will save a lot of lives. Of cause there are limitations but Apple is the first company to offer such a feature on a smartphone.
Apple has finally integrated a satellite connectivity feature dubbed “Emergency SOS” into iPhone 14 series. The safety feature lets you get in touch with emergency services when you get stuck or lost when no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage is available.
Anyone with an iPhone 14 can use the satellite connection feature to send a message out to emergency services when they find themselves in an internet-less environment. The magical feature is called Emergency SOS and works via satellite.
To try Emergency SOS via satellite you must first be in an open space with a clear view of the sky and horizon. The AI feature in the phone will take you through how to establish a connection with a satellite. As soon as you connect the onscreen message will ask you a couple of emergency questions to ascertain your current situation. The phone will automatically start a chat with the emergency responders by sharing your Medical ID, current location, remaining battery life, elevation, and contact info.
With a clear sky view of the sky, it should take about fifteen seconds to send the message. The satellite connectivity feature is currently available in the US and Canada.
I personally love this feature, it is really magical to know that you are safe with a clear sky.
Here is how to use Apple iPhone 14 emergency SOS satellite connectivity feature
Hold your iPhone naturally in your hand. You don’t need to raise your arm or hold your phone up, but don’t put it in a pocket or backpack.
Make sure that you’re outside with a clear view of the sky and the horizon.
Be aware that trees with light foliage might slow down the connection, and dense foliage might block it. Hills or mountains, canyons, and tall structures can also block the connection.
In case you need to turn left or right or move to avoid a blocked signal, your iPhone provides guidance—just follow the onscreen instructions.
The satellite connection can be maintained even if your phone screen is locked.
Try calling emergency services. Even if your normal cellular carrier network isn’t available, you might be able to make the call.
If your call won’t connect, you can text emergency services via satellite.

Cryptocurrency is something that most people are familiar with. If you are not, then it is a form of digital currency that’s used primarily for investment purposes. However, there are other sides outside of investment, like gambling, and even buying one’s groceries. Countries all around the world are starting to regulate it and are encouraging stores of all kinds to accept it as a form of payment.
Python, a programming language, is one of the most used programming languages in the cryptosphere. This article will explore Python, explaining what it is, how it’s used for crypto, as well as why you should be using it for your projects.
What IsPython?
Python is a computer programming language, used for many different things. Its most popular uses are to build websites and to test software, though. It is without a doubt one of the world’s leading programming languages. You could even go as far as to say that it is the most popular. Ordinary crypto users have no use for Python. It’s only ever used by people who’re building cryptocurrencies or creating their own platforms. It is, therefore, not something the average trader needs to know much about.
How Is It Used?
Python is most commonly used to create cryptocurrencies. Many major cryptos were made using the Python language. It can of course also be used to build platforms and sites, like gambling sites. Most of the web’s BNB gambling sites (BNB being one of the major cryptocurrencies) use Python. The same is also true for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP sites. However, if you plan on making your own currency using Python, then you are going to need a lot of experience. It’s not easy making a cryptocurrency, or a site for that matter. There are a number of courses you can take on Python specific to crypto development.
Algorithmic Trading
Another use of Python in the cryptosphere is the creation of algorithmic trading bots. If you are somebody who’s interested in trading crypto but does not have the time to manage investments personally, then the creation of an algorithmic trading bot is something that’s worth considering. Most algorithmic trading bots are made using Python. The creation of an algorithmic trading bot will mean that you do not have to manage your investments yourself. That said, it’s still a good idea to set stop loss and take profit, just in case your bot malfunctions.
Trading Crypto
Deviating from this post’s topic for a moment, it’s important to briefly discuss crypto. If you plan on using Python to create bots (or your own currencies) then you will no doubt be handling crypto. You need to manage crypto carefully. Unfortunately, crypto has cost a lot of people a lot of money. Not carefully managing your investments could lead to you bankrupting yourself. There are various courses available online, that you can use to learn how to trade. Taking a course before getting involved with crypto is something that most experts recommend.

Benefits of Using Python
Easy to Use
While Python is a high-level programming language, it’s still easy to learn. This is because Python has an English-like syntax. Learning to use Python is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is take a course in it online or read guides. Taking a course is probably the better option because you will receive instructions from somebody who’s experienced in the language. Before taking a course, research the person leading it. Ensure they are qualified, experienced, and know what they are talking about.
Python is Free
You do not have to pay anything to use Python. However, you might have to pay to sign up for a course. If you are on a budget, then it is without a doubt one of the best programming languages for you to learn. Something else worth noting is that because it’s free, it means that you will have more money to set aside and use for crypto. With Python, everything can be built from scratch. Bear in mind you will have to pay for things like website hosting and domain names if you are going to use it to create websites. Those things are not free.
Huge Library
Python’s standard library is huge. In it, you can find more or less any function that you could ever need. If you are trying to make crypto, then you will be able to find many functions there that can be of use to you.
Python is a popular programming language, and it’s not hard to see why. If you want to use it to make a cryptocurrency, create a platform, or design an algorithmic trading bot, then consider the points outlined here, and take some time to master Python first.

The Twitterverse is filled with lots of rumors about the social media platform and some fear this is the end as droves of Twitter employees resign. So many ask, is Elon Musk saving or killing Twitter?
In recent months, there have been reports of Twitter employees quitting en masse as morale at the company plummets amidst new management turmoil and concerns about its future prospects. Although Twitter had its own issues before Musk came along, now there’s a very real possibility that he could make them even worse – or even cause Twitter’s demise altogether.
There’s no doubt that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is one of the most influential people on Twitter. He has nearly 117 million followers and his tweets often make headlines. Like when he tweeted that he was “considering taking Tesla private at $420,” it sent shockwaves through Wall Street and the tech world. Truth is the tesla stock price did rise up high to $402 but has since plummeted to under $200.
Musk is known for being disruptive, so maybe it shouldn’t be surprising that he would try to do the same with Twitter. After all, this is a guy who wants to put humans on Mars and revolutionize transportation with self-driving cars. But some people are worried that his latest antics could be detrimental to Twitter – or even kill it off entirely.
Here’s why people are feeling this way about Elon Musk at Twitter
He’s a polarizing figure
There’s no denying that Musk is a brilliant entrepreneur and innovator. But he’s also a very polarizing figure, and that could be bad for Twitter. On the one hand, he has legions of diehard fans who will follow him wherever he goes (including Twitter). On the other hand, there are plenty of people who can’t stand him – and they’re likely to avoid Twitter if they know Musk owns it. This could further split an already divided user base and make it even harder for Twitter to attract new users (or keep the ones it has).
He loves stirring up drama
Musk isn’t afraid to stir up a little (or a lot) of drama – and that could cause problems for Twitter. For one thing, it’s likely to attract even more trolls and negativity to the platform. And secondly, it could turn off potential users who are put off by all the fighting and name-calling. In other words, Musk might end up doing more harm than good for Twitter in the long run.
Elon Musk is not afraid to speak his mind (and ruffle some feathers)
Musk isn’t afraid to speak his mind – even if it means ruffling a few feathers. For example, he’s been known to criticize other tech companies and their products. And while that might be entertaining for some people, it could also backfire on Twitter. If Musk starts attacking the platform itself or its users. After all, nobody likes being criticized – especially not in public!
He has a huge ego
There’s no denying that Musk has a huge ego – and that could be problematic for Twitter. For one thing, he’s likely to get into arguments with other users who don’t agree with him or who challenge him in some way. And secondly, his ego could lead him to do something rash like quitting Twitter altogether if things don’t go his way (which would be pretty bad for the platform).
I don’t think Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter for 44 billion dollars only to sink it. He will at least try to either make it work or salvage some of his investment money. He has so far admitted to being wrong with some of his decisions. Elon is also planning to reduce his time at Twitter and find a new CEO to run the company. The coming days and Elon’s decisions will let us know if he is trying to save or kill Twitter.

Do you see that guy in the middle of the photo below all fashioned up like a top CIA, MI5 agent? He is Amazon’s founder and former CEO, Jeff Bezos. He currently is the Executive Chair of the Amazon Board, where he focuses on new products and early initiatives by the company.
In recent years he leapfrogged Bill Gates to become the world’s richest man for five years continuously. Like Elon Musk the guy is pretty much into lots of stuff, commercial astronaut, rockets et al.
In the end we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.
Jeff
Back to the image featuring Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. This wasn’t for an amazon advert of how they are currently outmuscling Microsoft or Google. Neither is it a battle session between Cortana, Alexa, or Siri. lol 😃 it is a Photoshop meme that went viral.
Here below are some worthy notes from Jeff Bezos that shaped his life growing up. I hope you’ll catch a thing or two that will resonate or spur you on.
Keep inventing, and don’t despair when at first the idea looks crazy.
Jeff
Jeff Bezos says:
Take on things you don’t know how to do and do them. It makes you resourceful.
Each time you have a setback, using resilience and resourcefulness, invent your way out of the box.
Minimize your regrets. You don’t want to be cataloging your regrets.
In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.
Without a willingness to fail, you cannot innovate. Because most innovations won’t work.
Anytime you are doing something new and are criticized, you must figure out if those critics have validity.
Keep inventing, and don’t despair when at first the idea looks crazy.
You have to accept that your business is an experiment and it might fail.
The most important thing is to be customer obsessed. Don’t satisfy your customers, figure out how to absolutely delight them.
Those are a few nuggets to get you going. Have a lovely weekend and cheers!
