If the Moon Were Replaced With Some of Our Planets
Yeti Dynamics shows us what if the moon were replaced with some of our planets:
On Jupiter, you might be able to make out the 4 big moons, They all have orbits larger than our moons orbit. but I stuck them on the far side of jupiter so that they could be seen so it looks as if they are closer (to Jupiter) than they really are.
Another video from them showing what if the moon were at the same distance as the International Space Station is also fascinating.
Love Chrome's New Design
Chrome's new design has been released for two weeks now. Usually a redesign of a daily app would bring lots of hate initially but eventually you just get used to it. Strangely, I fell in love with this new design since the first second.
The only thing I don't like this the "Find in page" box on desktop. The box really feels disconnected from the Chrome itself, and I'm still not used to it:

AirDrop in the Air, Literally
Update: I don't think this is real, he must have AirDropped to a phone nearby.
AirDrop actually works for a longer distance than I thought:

Scan Documents with iOS 11 Notes App
Scan Documents with iOS 11 Notes App
I have scanned 10+ documents with the iOS 11 Notes App (don't ask me why). Even though it feels really slow on my iPhone 6 Plus, it's still much faster than using my scanner. ARKit FTW!
Replacing My iPhone 6s for Free
My iPhone 6s has had the Unexpected Shutdown issue for a while. After months of procrastination, I finally went to the Apple Store this Saturday afternoon.
My appointment was at 16:50. The staff told me that it takes 3 hours to replace the battery, and the store closes at 19:00. So I have to leave the phone overnight and pick up the next day.
I said OK.
However, I remember last time Apple had this issue with iPhone 5, they would actually replace my old phone with a new one (or refurbished one?) immediately in the store. Oh yes, I am very lucky to be a victim twice.
I'm totally fine without a new phone this time.
Then the next day, a different person handled my case. They brought both my old and a new phone to me. Guess what? The new phone was for me. And I just need to reset my old phone for them.
They said one thing, but did another.
I'm very confused. The only reasonable explanation I could think is, they wanted to take a look at my old phone then decide what to do.
Maybe I should have a doubt about anything they say. After all, they have told me "not closing your apps will kill your iPhone”.
