    Very Internet of Things experience this morning: > Listening to podcast on train. iPhone says storage is full. > Smart lock app crashes on open. Not enough swap? Can't unlock office door > Co-workers can't hear me knock > Stand outside deleting podcasts til I can unlock the door

        do your co-workers also have them phones? I heard somewhere that, in addition to playing podcasts, the phone can connect you to other people phones, can you imagine?

        Of course but they’re working. Our office tries to respect the headphone rule so if that means they can’t hear me then they’re focused

        Yeah and they didn't hear me. Knock doesn't get through bose headphones + music but a vibrating phone on your desk does.

        Haha thank you. I'm in thankfully. The funny part is that a lot of apps seem to crash when your storage is full. Had to find one that would stay open long enough to let me delete stuff!

        This happens to my wife and her coworkers in the office's lactation room.
