Sorry, I misread your comment, I thought you were asking for a method other than one using lockdown mode. I doubt there's a method using location if it isn't provided by the manufacturer, because an app trying to do that would need permissions to lock the phone.

For almost any phone: just turn it off. Every phone I've used requires a passcode after a power cycle

My work phone is an iPhone and I love this feature. The moment it's past work hours I no longer get buzzed for any notifications, and I only see direct messages on the home screen

I have a galaxy s21 that I've been using for the last 3 years. I haven't noticed any difference in performance from the day I got the phone, and I don't feel I'll need to upgrade for another couple years. Full disclosure, I did use adb to remove a ton of Samsung bloat when I got the phone, and that definitely improved performance, so I'm not sure how different my experience would be with all the extra Samsung stuff added.

In the cheaper price point, IEMs are probably the way to go for noise isolation. If you can get ear tips with a good seal, then the passive noise isolation should be good enough. I'd recommend something like the kz zsn pro (~$20) or the kiwiears cadenza (~$30), along with comply foam tips (~$15) for a perfect seal into your ear. If you have smaller ears like me, then kz IEMs can be a bit uncomfortable, so keep that in mind. If your budget stretches further, then you can try Etymotic ER2SE IEMs (~$100), which have triple flange tips that really plug your ears deep, but I definitely don't find them comfy enough for long sessions.

If your device doesn't have a headphone jack, an Apple USB C dongle (~$10) is plenty good enough for any IEMs, or you could get a Bluetooth DAC from Fiio starting at around $40 (for the longest time I had one doing double duty for my headphones and for Bluetooth audio in my car).

My hands get really dry after washing bottles for my newborn, and nothing does the trick quite as well as working hands (although it does feel oily after applying, so I only use it right before going to sleep)

Division Bell! It's punchy and tart with the citrus and slightly bitter aperol, and the mezcal gives a really welcome smoky flavor. I add just a quarter oz simple to the standard recipe, otherwise I find it a little dry.

-1 ounce mezcal -3/4 ounce Aperol -1/4 ounce Luxardo maraschino liqueur -3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed -1/4 ounce simple syrup

-Add ingredients to a shaker with ice, shake well before straining into a coupe and garnishing with a grapefruit twist

Seconding Jack Rudy's. While you're doing yourself a favor, do yourself a favor and try 0.75oz syrup and 0.75oz st. Germain. That extra floral note is great with some gins (I've tried citadelle and malfy with this recipe to great success)

How to destroy your up-and-coming indie studio in three simple steps!

1. Publicly fuck over the two people most responsible for your massively successful IP, ensuring they'll never work with you again

2. Cancel any follow-up to your massively successful IP and continue with projects nobody cares about

3. Fire the rest of the staff responsible for your only successful IP

There is a well known fault in Teslas where the front linkage breaks, and that's a lot more catastrophic than just putting on hazards and pulling to the side of the road. Worse still, this can happen at less than 100 miles driven, and Tesla won't cover it under warranty: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/20/tesla-blamed-drivers-for-failures-of-parts-it-long-knew-were-defective.html

Join the cult of embedded engineers! My current project at work uses a cortex m0, so we have 32kB of code ROM and 4kB of RAM. It's really satisfying finding little optimizations to save a couple dozen bytes here or there, and there's never the pressure to just slap together code without worrying about size or speed since you can't afford it with the hardware you're using

Dumb question: did you remember to plug the battery connector back in? Or maybe you damaged that connector? That would explain if it only works when connected to power
