Apple Watches Are Probably to Blame The new SOS feature, the watch's new cellular capabilities, and refurbishment at scale seems to have led to headaches for one California community. By Mack DeGeurin For the last four months, police dispatchers in Elk Grove, California have hastily answered phone calls expecting emergencies. Often, however, they are greeted not by a person in need but by an eerie silence broken up only by the occasional muffled muttering of an Apple repair technician. The calls, which the police have traced back to a single Apple repair and refurbishment facility in Elk Grove, come in everyday and appear to be accidental. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/d3w5bk/apple-calls-911-1600-times-apple-watch -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <Pine.NEB.4.64.1802252133300.25052@panix5.panix.com> Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 21:34:31 -0500 From: danny burstein <dannyb@panix.com> Subject: transferring SMS texts from a W-8.1 phone? I've got a series of texts that are on my Nokia Lumia Windows 8.1 phone which I'd really, really, like to save in a usable form. Like on my computer. Or paper. Or something. While I can find descriptions of how to save them to my m-soft account (that I set up just for this phone), and then restore them to another phone, I haven't found any method to get to those files and pull them over to my computer. A typical m-soft info page is at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/11688/windows-phone-back-up-my-stuff Am I missing something obvious, somewhere, somewhen? All clues greatfully appreciated.
