Stecker triggers macOS Shortcuts by physical device attachment or detachment. Stecker detects USB devices, including keyboards, mice, hubs, drives.
It is very lightweight in memory and energy usage: Only acts on system notifications - no repeated pulling of device status.

I was annoyed by the watermark, but especially the huge unnecessary border, on downloaded images, so I created a simple shortcut that downloads the images without watermark and border.

Have fun :)
It’s nearly ready for release. A lot has changed since the original video. Currently am just fine tuning the artwork and any issues I find.
I used the Automation Feature in Siri Shortcuts.
​
1) Using “Hey Siri” ask Siri to play the playlist of your choice on Spotify.
*For example: “Hey Siri, play Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Playlist on Shuffle on Spotify.”
*Note: You may have to try different key words until Siri gives you your desired result.
2) Open Siri Shortcuts and Choose “Automation” on the bottom bar.
3) On the top right corner, tap the blue (+) icon, and “Create Personal Automation.”
4) Select “Alarm.” Choose the settings you desire and press “next” in the top right. (The actual alarm time should be set in the Clock app)
5) For all following actions disable “Ask Each Time” if prompted.
- Add Action: Open App —> Spotify. (Opens Spotify)
- Search on the bottom bar: Set Volume —> Desired volume. (Changes volume to desired volume)
- Search on the bottom bar “Change Playback Destination …
Does anyone know how to remove these? More and more keep appearing and I don’t want any Shortcut suggestions for apps I use/have used. When I click “Edit” they disappear so I can’t delete them. I also didn’t find anything in Settings related to shortcuts for these apps.
I don’t know Reddit well enough to know if this is the proper sub to put this but one of my favorite podcasts is 500 Songs. If you like pop/rock music and it’s history, you’ll like this. He goes in-depth into songs and the bands and the process of how they got to us. Really entertaining and informative on my long dog walks. https://500songs.com/
Preferably long-running podcasts with plenty of episodes I can binge this summer. I enjoyed “Science solved it” but it didn’t last too long unfortunately.
I’m looking for a podcast that talks about cultish/toxic sides of evangelicalism and its effects on western culture. Not really want something specifically deconstructing and debunking Christianity as a whole (that kinda stuff is boring to me lol) but I’m looking for more something that talks about how religious extremism effects people and western culture. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Binge listened to the entirety of Jamie Bartlett’s new podcast yesterday. Believe in Magic is a “a dark and strange story of online deception” and I got through all of it in one morning. All episodes are on BBC Sounds, and the first two are up on Apple Podcasts. Absolutely gripping, thorough and told with kindness.
Perfect for documentary or investigative podcast fans - just as good as Cryptoqueen.
I’d like some recommendations for well researched podcasts that debunk bad science and research. Bonus points if it is done humorously like Maintenence Phase!
I would be grateful for something with no UFOs as the main topic or Niel deGrasse Tyson.
There’s a list of topics that interest/intimidate me (foreign affairs, Crusades, certain chapters of world history and certain arenas of science), and I’d like a friendly starting place, but I think I’d just like to hear anyone toss out their favorite topic of study and the book that really shoehorned them into loving/understanding it.
Edit: You guys are incredible! The scope of interests here is huge, I’m so amazed and delighted by the response to this thread – and for the fact that we’ve got a place here for such a diverse range of expertise to get together and share ideas.
I’m going on holiday in 6 weeks. I like to be prepared and have some books to take with me. I’m wanting to find a really good thriller that I can’t put down. All suggestions welcomed!!
So I’m wanting to cancel my Audible subscription soon, but I want to use the couple credits I still have before I do so. What are the best audiobooks you’ve ever listened to? Like, books that are even better in audiobook format, maybe that you even think should only be read in audiobook format.
I’m pretty open to anything, although I’d prefer books that are standalones. I’m not really into horror, really heavy action, or anything super violent/gore-y. I do read almost all other genres, but there usually needs to be some sort of romance, even if it’s just a secondary storyline, or I’ll wind up losing interest (obviously this doesn’t pertain to nonfiction). Even better if there’s LGBTQ+ characters and storylines.
Thank you!
My cat who was the absolute light of my life died suddenly and I’m totally bereft without him.
Reading has always been my therapy, but right now I don’t have the brain capacity for anything really difficult in terms of language, or anything that’s too meaningful or emotional. Just looking for engaging page-turners. I usually read about 50-100 books a year so most mainstream bestsellers over the last two decades have made it in there.
Sounds weird I know but I’m just trying to pass some time and be engaged in a book while just letting myself feel low and crappy.
I usually tend towards historical or slice of life, family saga type fiction, I’d be open too to crime fiction/thriller that wasn’t too gore-filled.
I tend to hate anything recommended on TikTok and find it really poorly written (so no Colleen Hoover, Sally Rooney, Taylor Reid Jenkins or Midnight Library type stuff) and NOT into fantasy/sci-fi/manga.
So far this week I’ve read David Simon’s The Corner, a few autobiographies …
Thanks in advance.
just finished this is how you lose the time war. i am absolutely losing my shit and will continue to for the foreseeable future. suggest me a book that may or may not trigger a cardiac event
I never really got to play all these good single player games due to not having money or having a shitty PC, so instead I played a lot of multiplayer games like CS:GO or LoL. Being almost 30 and working now, I’m getting burnt out and I simply don’t have the time nor the intention to stress myself out over games like this. So I’d like to explore what I’ve missed out on.
What are games that one needs to play at least once in their life?
So I search for open-world games that are not trying to impress you with millions of square kilometers, but are rich in content content. (And yes, I’ve played Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium)
Update: Thank you for all the games you recommended, I’ll definitely play most of them.
Hey Reddit, I recently played Obra Dinn and Case of the Golden Idol and absolutely loved the detective solving gameplay mechanic. I also appreciate the chill and laid back puzzle elements in these games. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar detective games? I’m open to any suggestions! Thanks in advance.
Hi all. I lost my best friend (childhood dog) yesterday and the pain is unbearable. I cannot think about anything else and desperately need a break from hurting. I know it will seem silly to some people, I know it may seem trivial, but I feel like my heart is being ripped out. What helped a bit last time things were hard was distracting myself and escaping with games like Stardew Valley. I don’t have access to my PC, only a laptop so it can’t handle much. What games can I lose myself in that do not deal with grief and loss or pets? Would deeply, deeply appreciate any recommendations
Ok, so here’s the type of game I’m looking for.
Anyway, I’ve seen everything Steam has to offer. I loved Chronicon, Siralim etc… so I’m aware even of niche games on Steam. So if you know anything not on Steam or even more niche, I’d appreciate it!
