I’ve been using this automation for about a month and it’s been great. Every now and then I will accidentally turn my alarm off instead of hitting snooze and this has helped. I have a daily weekday alarm labeled work that goes off at 6am and a second alarm not on a schedule to go off at 6:20. This shortcut runs every weekday one minute before my 6am alarm and checks to see if that alarm is on or off (holidays or scheduled days off I manually turn off the 6am alarm). If the 6am alarm is on, it turns on my 6:20 alarm. If my phone is still plugged in at 6:20, that second alarm will also sound. If I unplug my phone before 6:20, the second alarm turns off.
Just sharing as this has helped me
Hello r/shortcuts! I can’t seem to find the information that I am looking for either here or general internet searches. I very much want a full break down of shortcuts how to’s. Like there are lots of functions I feel like I don’t really understand even with the little blurb that Apple provides for the function. Is there a full cheat sheet out there that expands a bit more on most if not all of these functions?
Thank you so very much for any insight on the matter!
Hey r/Shortcuts!
I just released Springboard v1.2.0 and would love for y’all to check it out.
Springboard is a tool to bypass paywalls. There are a few other similar shortcuts out there, but I’ve found that nearly all of them use only a single method to bypass paywalls. So when/if that method doesn’t work, there is no other option.
This is where Springboard is different.
Springboard uses multiple methods to bypass paywalls. The success rate is higher than that of any of the other similar shortcuts I’ve tried. Springboard currently works on the following sites:
The New York Times (nytimes.com)
The Washington Post (washingtonpost.com)
The Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
Houston Chronicle (chron.com)
The Boston Globe (bostonglobe.com)
The Chicago Tribune (chicagotribune.com)
The Atlantic (theatlantic.com)
The New Yorker (newyorker.com)
The Athletic (theathletic.com)
The Telegraph (telegraph.co.uk)
The Daily Telegraph (dailytelegraph.com.au)
Fortune (fortune.com)
Business …
I’d love a way for my phone to remind me to get off at the next stop on my train commute. I only need this shortcut to run 2 days per week. I have tried to make this happen in the reminders app, but it hasn’t worked reliably. Any ideas? Thanks!
One of my favorites. Spotify has confirmed the staff will all be laid off. Hopefully it’ll continue somehow?
Anyone here had a similar surprise?
I saw a few people recommending Heavyweight in a recent thread about which podcasts you make sure you listen to as soon as they’re released, and can I just say thank you so much! My wife and I had a long trip over the weekend and spent the whole time listening to episodes, I can’t believe how good it is!
The last episode we listened to, “Another Roadside Attraction”, has rocketed into my favourite ever podcast episodes. Such an emotional yet darkly inspiring story all about how we will never know the struggles of people we see every single day, how everyone you ever interact with has a story just as complicated as yours and how your actions can make a huge difference to someone you’ll never meet in ways you’ll never know.
I think bbc low-key make some of the best podcast. What’s your favourites?
Dead feeds you are still subscribed to Oz foolishly hoping to see life again. Every once in a while you do see activity, but the feed is just being used to advertise another show you don’t care about. I have around 80, but a decent chunk are 1 off shows
Suggest me the best book you’ve read or one that’s had a lasting impact on you! I’d also love if you gave a brief description of what it’s about
Edit: Thank you everyone for some great suggestions! A few asked, my favorite book i’ve read so far has been A Little Life.
I’ve never cried at a book or movie or show or song or any media at all. Someone change that! I’m open to any fiction except a war story. Don’t be afraid to give me the obvious picks, since I haven’t really read that much outside of sci-fi and fantasy. Thanks!
My husband is a truly amazing man, with a huge heart and an incredible brain. He tries to read up on different subjects and learn about people with struggles and people with problems to understand. My words are not able to explain being a woman. I can tell him something dozens of times, but he needs to read it from a different person, I think. He’s a feminist, but I’d like him to know how hard things really are.
I want him to know how hard we work at home and all we do to keep lives running. How exhausting being a family manager is. How doctors don’t believe us, how we are brushed aside, how sexual assault isn’t taken seriously. About how overloaded our brains are. How much we take on. Fightin tooth and nail and shedding blood for every footstep in male dominated places in life. How we’re by default the person expected to do the chores. The mental and emotional load. Why we snap and why we cry and how we need our partner. Why we get mad and break. How we …
What is the most jarring history, or history-adjacent, book that tells a true story that most of us don’t know, or haven’t learned in school?
Looking for suggestions of a great book I should read
EDIT: I would like to extend my gratitude to all of you for taking the time to respond and recommend me books, I’ll make a list here in a bit. Sorry for not responding to everyone! I’m at work right now but rest assured I’m reading every single one of your responses.
Stayed up to 4 am yesterday finishing Flowers for Algernon and I think I’m gonna have to go back to therapy, that book was amazing.
Basically I want to read some of the “Classics” but I am so ignorant I don’t even know what the “Classics” are.
I’m imagining The Oddysey, The Illiad, Shakespeare, Alighieri and Moby Dick but don’t know what else. (Or if those are actually good)
For all intents and purposes, recommend me as if I have never read anything.
TL:DR; What are some MUST READ’s?
Hi,I am doing this shot in the dark in case someone here has a hidden gem.
Some time ago I have been playing Tyranny and in my mind I come back to that game a lot. How you start like a messenger but later can make your own decrees that shape the land itself, and I have been thinking if there is a game that does something like this.
Specifically, I am looking for a game where you start simple but can become absurdly powerful. Thats like the only requirement I have.
I don’t care if its sandbox, story, strategy… I don’t care about the style of combat.. I don’t care about graphics either. It can be text based and I will be fine with it.
All i want is to start simple and potentially (and ideally) be able to wipe out cities or, even better, countries, should I choose to do so.
Edit:Thx for all the suggestions thus far! I guess I am looking for something more nieche (Like Cataclysm: Dark days ahead), because I would guess I know most of the classic or big titles! …
Thanks for every Response and if you know several games pls give me all of your ideas lol
Well, more specifically, I’m talking about Bethesda games. I’m an avid gamer and for years I’ve been looking to replicate my experience with Skyrim with non-Bethesda games, without success. I want a game were the world is the star, not the story, not the characters, not the narrative, but the world itself. I want a world to just exist in and experience. Wanna be a vampire, a werewolf, a lumberjack, a farmer, a mercenary, go ahead! Wanna be an archer, a spellsword, a sneak thief? Knock yourself out! Wanna spend an hour chasing butterflies and picking mushrooms? You can totally do that!
Has any studio other than Bethesda ever made a game like this? The Witcher 3 and Red Dead 2 come close, but it’s not the same. Their worlds are immersive and interactive, but these worlds exist to serve the story and the characters, which makes them great for a first playthrough but kills replayability.
Am I doomed to just keep modding Skyrim for the rest of my life?
First part refers to games like Screencheat that use something normally considered cheating and instead incorporates it as a core feature of the game, encouraging/requiring you to use it to play normally (Ex. Splitcreen game that uses screen peaking to determine another player’s location, because they are completely invisible otherwise).
Second part is for games where using cheats either makes a game more fun than normal, or provides new ways to enjoy the game that are otherwise impossible/very unlikely to happen without them.
NOTE: For the sake of clarification, this is NOT a request for hacks.
!Provided it is limited to singleplayer, private groups/lobbies, or is otherwise unintrusive to others just trying to play the game I am not against its usage, but it isn’t what I’m looking for here.!<
i find games where you can absolutely clobber the enemy with artillery pretty fun and i was wondering if there where games were you can do that
i have already played company of heroes, blitzkrieg and some other ones but would be nice if there where more
my computer cant really run modern stuff so anything below 2014 is welcomed
