How to sort, filter, and manage your Kindle Paperwhite library
As you build your Kindle Paperwhite library, it can quickly become unmanageable. The more books you get, the more screens you have to flip through to find the book you want when you’re in the mood to read it. We’ve shown you how to create Collections on your Kindle Paperwhite.

WidgetCustoms offers jailbroken iOS 14 users a way to personalize their widgets
Those using iOS or iPadOS 14 on their daily driver handset(s) are probably keenly familiar with the upgraded widget system and how it compares with the much less intuitive widget system found on iOS and iPadOS 13.
Not only can you take advantage of much more powerful widgets than ever before, but you can even choose to seat them right next to your Home Screen’s application icons if you aren’t a fan of hiding all your widgets on a specialized page. But as nice as Apple’s upgraded widget system may be on iOS & iPadOS 14 devices, one thing Apple predictably forgot to add was a mechanism for user customization.
Duo iPhone wallpapers with split colors
Over the last few months, a new wallpaper trend is forming. "Duo" wallpapers are popping up around the designer community as a way to splash your Home and Lock Screen with multiple colors.

In another edition of iDB's Wallpapers of the Week, download your favorites from this complete collection, including colors matching the AirPods Max.

CCUptime lets jailbreakers view their handset’s current jailbreak uptime with ease
A growing trend I’m seeing lately is jailbreakers flocking to /r/jailbreak or other forms of social media to share their handset’s uptime. In essence, some jailbreakers appear to enjoy showing off their pwned handset’s stability, especially with regard to one jailbreak versus another.
One way to do this is to show off how long a particular handset has been running in a jailbroken state without needing to be re-jailbroken, as a longer uptime indicates that the handset hasn’t crashed or forcefully rebooted itself.
DnDSwitch lets jailbreakers toggle Do Not Disturb via the ringer/silent switch
All of Apple’s iPhone models come equipped with a side-mounted ringer/silent switch that makes silencing your device’s incoming notification sounds so effortless that it can be done right from your pocket. But as we witnessed in a popular /r/jailbreak request post from this past week, a sizable portion of iPhone users would come to appreciate the ability to repurpose the ringer/silent switch as a physical Do Not Disturb toggle switch.
The aforementioned idea seemed like a good idea even to me when I read about it earlier in the week, but now that a new and free jailbreak tweak called DnDSwitch by iOS developer smokin1337 officially exists, I can genuinely say that I welcome the concept even more than I did just a few days ago when I read about it on Reddit.
