How to recover erased files from your SD card

Image
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve needed to recover deleted files from an SD card. Okay, yes I can. Three. But that’s three times too many. The first time was after my freshman year of college. I can’t remember the exact reason, but I was totally devastated because I thought I had lost all my pictures. I paid like $60 bucks for an SD card recovery program, and I retrieved all those photos. The second time was about a year ago. I realized I formatted my SD card before I retrieved all the photos. I tried to recover them but none of the methods I used were working. The missing photos weren’t all that important, so I gave up. The third time was two days ago. I started using my desktop computer recently to upload and edit photos. It had just upgraded to Windows 10, and I was confused with how it was importing photos. Long story short, I ended up importing all the photos except for ones taken in July. I didn’t realize this, and I formatted the card in preparation for

1. Take Siri to School Tired of Siri pronouncing things wrong? Next time she screws something up, tell her "That's not how you pronounce X," and then pronounce it for her. She'll give it another try, and offer you a few options for how she now thinks she's supposed to pronounce the word.

Go into the Settings of your phone and then select Sounds, Vibration, and then Create New Vibration to tap out your own buzzing pattern. You can name your creation and then use it as a vibration alert for anything you'd like. For instance, you could have one vibration pattern to signal that

1. Send Your Ex Straight to Voicemail We've all got a few people we'd rather not talk to. Rather than manually screening every call, set up your phone to do the dirty work for you. Load up the culprit's contact card, select Edit, and then scroll down to Additional Info. Select "Send straight to voicemail" from the list to have every subsequent call from that person bypass your ringer entirely. 2. Screen Calls More Politely Okay, you're not always sending people to voicemail because you can't stand them. Sometimes you're in a meeting and can't talk. Android has a way to silence a call without giving your friend the cold shoulder; you can send a custom text message to let him know you'll call back later. To create your own note, go to Phone Settings, and then Quick Responses. Next time you need to silence a call, swipe up to send your canned response. 3. Map it Out Just because you're traveling somewhere without cell service doesn
