Triton Titan Neptune Pluto
Answer: Triton
Here on boring old Earth, we’ve got plain old volcanoes that spew molten rock into the air. Elsewhere in the solar system (and presumably elsewhere in the universe), there are volcanoes of a distinctly icy nature.
These ice volcanoes, or more accurately, cryovolcanoes, are found on extremely cold planets and moons. Rather than spewing molten rock, they instead erupt and eject water, ammonia, or methane–known as cryomagma.
The first cryovolcano was observed on Neptune’s moon Triton by the 1989 flyby of the Voyager 2 space probe. Nearly two decades later in 2005, the Cassini space probe photographed cryovolcanic (geyser) eruptions on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Since then, indirect evidence of cryovolcanic activity has been found on multiple bodies in our solar system including Europa, Titan, Ganymede, Miranda, Charon, Pluto, and Ceres.
Detailed observations of ice volcanoes is difficult because they only appear on astronomical bodies far from Earth, requiring powerful telescopes or expensive space probes for further inquiry.

As anyone who uses a Mac knows, entering special characters is really easy–you just hold down a letter. That’s great if you want to play Pokémon Go with your friends mañana, but not so much if you realllllllllllllllllly want to play now.

We’re used to word processing programs telling us when we’ve misspelled a word, but what about when your fingers are flying through directories on the Linux command line? You can actually have your typos and misspellings automatically corrected, at least when using the cd command.
In previous versions of Windows, you could change the number of recent items shown in jump lists with a simple option in taskbar properties. For whatever reason, Microsoft removed this ability in Windows 10. With a minor Registry hack, though, you can still bump that number up.
Your iPhone allows you to call up to five people at once, making it easy to set up a quick conference call. The other people don’t need anything special–just any old cellular or landline telephone.
