We're fortunate to live in an age when cellphone and Wi-Fi coverage is incredible, but it can still let you down. For those times, satellite phones are a true game-changer for anyone beyond the reach of traditional mobile networks or during emergencies or natural disasters. Unlike standard smartphones, which rely on cellular networks made up of physical towers, satellite phones communicate directly with satellites orbiting approximately 500 miles above the Earth.

The versatility of these solvers allowed successful applications in many areas, such as transportation, logistics, supply chain management, revenue management, finance, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

The majority of distros fall somewhere in the middle, of course, and that's perfectly fine because most users prefer a blend of aesthetics and functionality.

Google Home’s latest bug: Setting an alarm for this time is nearly impossible

Google Assistant-equipped Home devices like the Nest Hub and the Nest Audio recognize standard alarm command phrasing, like “Okay Google, set an alarm for twelve thirty am,” but they set the alarm for 12:30 p.m. instead. Saying “zero zero thirty” aloud appears to be the only working time input for setting an alarm for 12.30am. Google Home is no stranger to more
