Some iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max owners are having trouble charging their devices.
Owners across the web are complaining that some of Apple’s latest iPhones are not charging properly when plugged in, MacRumors pointed out Saturday. The problem seems to occur when users plug in their phones while they are in sleep mode and the screens are off.
YouTuber Unbox Therapy was alerted to this problem and performed a test where he plugged in a bunch of iPhone XS and XS Max devices to test whether they charge while asleep, and found that several XS and XS Max phones didn’t start charging until after he woke up the phone. Not only that, one iPhone XS Max was stuck in sleep mode while plugged in and he couldn’t take the phone out of its frozen state until he unplugged it. Read more…

The Boston Red Sox should consider signing one of their fans that got ejected from Fenway Park on Saturday.
After New York Yankees power hitter Giancarlo Stanton blasted a home run to the top of Fenway Park’s infamous Green Monster at the top of the seventh inning on Saturday, a Red Sox fan took that ball and whipped it back onto the field in protest, hitting Stanton in the arm after a hop as he rounded second base. That’s a pretty impressive feat.

Woman accidentally informs the U.S. that she's a terrorist via online travel form
September 30, 2018While planning a visit to the United States, a British woman unwittingly answered “Yes” to an online travel application query asking if she had ever engaged in terrorist activity.
Accordingly, Mandie Stevenson’s U.S. travel application was promptly denied, reports the BBC.
“At first I thought it was a bad dream and then I realised what I had done,” Stevenson said on the BBC radio show “Mornings with Stephen Jardine.”
Stevenson had been applying for a travel application using the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Electronic System for Travel Authorization site, or ESTA, when she erred. Specifically, Stevenson was applying for a “visa waiver program,” wherein citizens of some countries can enter the U.S. without going through a more tedious visa process. Read more…
