First, I would like to personally thank for the high acceptance, appreciation, and admiration to the adoption of “Action Button Ultra” Shortcut from the original post towards the reddit community, subreddit moderators, and RoutineHub Team along with the supporters for their understanding & peer-recommendations.
##What’s New?
In addition to the six triggers earlier that’s based on orientation, there’s a new but much refined (by courtesy of u/SnazzyLabs) extended function integrated to the existing implementation allowing another six action triggers making a total of twelve without any compromise or confusion for average enjoyers while still allowing the room for enthusiasts to insert their own triggers for unique scenarios as needed.
Part of the update brings the added functionality of Document Scanner (that saves in HEIF), Volume Controls (in an orientation that’s perfect for both bingers and gamers), Kaomoji Clipboard (Hello Reddit Community …
Not sure if there’s another way or if it has been posted on here already, but a quick search didn’t turn up anything.
If you’d like to open a URL directly in a web app (the new macOS Sonoma feature), you can do this via the Run shell script action. There, you’ll use the “open” command as follows:
open <url> -a <webapp name>
where <url>
is the URL you are trying to open and <webapp name>
is the web app’s (file) name. (If you didn’t know, web apps added to the dock are also added to ~/Applications/
as <web app>.app
).
Web apps are limited to supporting the URL they were created for (I’m guessing domain based), so a web app created from meet.google.com will not support www.apple.com URLs even if opened explicitly via the above command (the app will launch but stay empty, and the URL will instead open in Safari).
For example, I have a shortcut displaying my upcoming meetings at work. Most of my meetings are in Google Meet, so my shortcut …
always shows “changed” notification for some reason, even when i don’t change volume within 3 seconds shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7c060a0df2564e609d729543080d7213
Mostly want a shortcut like this for when someone has my phone and they want to try to put the phone to my face to unlock it and this screen if you exit out of it it makes you type in your password manually no biometrics or anything. So I could just say hey siri and then the phrase to run the shortcut or something like that. Thank you!
I have an automation that is triggered when I connect to my home WiFi network. When connected, the automation turns on lights in my living room if the current time is after sunset.
However, I am finding that the automation will trigger even when I’m supposedly already connected to my home WiFi network. I know this from the log file I write to a notes app on my phone.
Is the likely answer that my iPhone (15 Pro Max; iOS 17.1.1) is intermittently disconnecting and reconnecting to WiFi?
The shortcut has a toggle that says the shortcut won’t run for 3 minutes after the WiFi connection is interrupted. However, this doesn’t seem to be working right.
Any suggestions?
TIA
It’s been at least a year since we did a thread on the funniest standalone podcast episodes. What episodes made you laugh out loud?
Mine would be the Timothy Olyphant, Jeff Goldblum, and Kevin Nealon episodes of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.
Title pretty much says it all. I like creepy, scary, unsettling stories(real or not) but a lot of podcasts don’t tell them well. Most casts tell them almost like their giving a high-school book report, and I’m looking for a podcast that has a good narrator, almost like their telling a campfire story or something akin. I listen to Mr. Ballen, Bedtime stories, Lore, so anything along those lines works!
Hey everyone!
Wife and I are looking for some options to listen to while in the car with our kids or that are Family-Friendly.
Not ‘kid shows’, just shows without cussing, sexual talk, blood/gore, etc. Something comedic or light-hearted would be great.
​
*EDIT* I seriously can’t thank you all enough. These are great recommendations and I’m looking forward to exploring them!
I have 24 shows that i follow . And 2-3 that i regularly check out and all of them happen to be true crime.
Do other true crime enthusiasts here ever feel like they’re holding the tension in their body? Idk lately i feel it makes me feel heavy , a bit stressed. Will take a short break from the genre.
And also the overwhelm of wanting to listen to everything and not having enough time to do it and feeling stressed that it’s on your list and you still havent finished yet.
How do you deal with it? Do you practice any tips to keep your mental health in check while listening to so much of sad things.
I’m interested in recommendations for true crime podcasts that aren’t about murders, rape, torture, etc. some examples are American Greed, Pretend, Crooked City, etc.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Anyone know of anything similar to his long form stuff? I need something to hold me over until the next hardcore history!
Be as biased and sentimental as you want. Not the greatest technically or objectively, just want to know what personally attached you to this book. Just what is the best book YOU ever read.
to me the best book I ever read was dune. I know not many people would agree but the way it spoke to me spiritually is unlike anything i’ve ever read.
A book that was just perfect for you or your situation.
I will go first - anything by Tom Robbins. Read them and adored them in my 20’s but these days…not so much…
Looking for a good/fun book where the lead isn’t the heroic, hyper-intelligent savior with plot armor. Someone that has to complete a task or save the world or whatever the plot and theme may be, but has no idea what they’re doing and is just making it up as they go.
I love Agatha Christie - very well written, often slow building but gripping, yet without excessive violence/sex/language. I can curl up by the fire with it and feel relaxed, yet very entertained. Anyone have a book or author suggestion that you feel is similar to this?
Looking for fiction books written by women. Would especially love if the protagonist was female too. Thank!!
Edit: wow! Thank you all so much for the recommendations!
Just finished City of Thieves by David Benioff and it just seems like a film adaptation would be really good.
Hi all,
I want to play some games that eventually make you stupidly powerfull.
I do not care if is the entire game’s goal or just a specific section of a game. I just really love that feeling when you smash stuff left and right and you can barely be touched, even if its just a temporary thing.
Some examples of what I mean:
Titanfall 2: You get a pistol in the end which basically has aimbot on it.
Control: In the last story mission you get a huge “power boost” and while the enemies are high level, you can crunch them up easily.
Thanks in advance!
I am not much of a gamer and the only game I can think of that matches this description that I’ve played myself is The Stanley Parable. Does anyone have any suggestions on games that are an unsettling mindfuck? Or even games that just have a sort of a trippy sci-fi feel to them? Any suggestions are welcomed.
Edit: Damn I didn’t expect this post to get so many responses haha. Thank you all for the suggestions!
I’m after games where you can steal enemies’ powers , and perhaps even storing them for later use. the enemies can be just goons with different powers, or a huge boss where you either kill or attempt to steal its power.
Games I have played that have a similar concept : Kirby, Prototype, Megaman
Edit: Wow, thanks peeps, I didn’t expect this post to have so many responses. I’ll look into those games.
Recently my 3yo son has shown interest in games as he sees me play a lot. I have always tried to keep in mind that he sees me (I don’t play…DOOM Eternal or SCORN when he is around, stuff like that) but recently he has taken to “play” Age of Empires IV with me, and by that I mean he watches and asks me to do stuff.
Now AOE IV is not an overtly violent game visually, but there is still conflict and lately it seems to have affected the imagination and dreams of my kid.
The gaming floodgates are obviously open and I wouldn’t want to suddenly forbid him from spending that time with me, so do you know any games that might be interesting to play with a kid but also not violent? I was thinking something like the Tropico or Anno games but they don’t have to be strategy games specifically.
Thanks!
I would like to play single-player more nowadays but I often get bored quickly because of the story I have to follow (or skip) and endless cinematics and dialogues. Just want to enjoy the gameplay and focus on developing the mechanics necessary to beat the game. Old games like Zuma’s Revenge, Rise of Atlantis, Lemmings come to mind but I’m not sure if there are any good ones in this era. It’s always some open world game with thousands of cinematics and dialogues that disrupt the gameplay. Please help me.
I mainly play open world first person shooter games or third person shooters, looter shooters, extraction shooters, character shooters games like borderlands series, destiny 2, EFT, call of duty, cyberpunk 2077, the division 1&2, just generic triple A TITLES
I’m looking for something so far away from this shit as you can get but that isn’t so overly complicated and confusing please help I’m losing interest in gaming and I just need new games to play instead of the same shit with different graphics
