Trying not to get my hopes up
Apple hasn’t updated shortcuts much since it acquired Workflow in 2017. I really thought Shortcuts would become an easy, intuitive, quick and easy way to make programming and scripting more accessible to the masses. But instead it just kind of went stale.
Having said this, I think there is a huge opportunity for Apple to accomplish this by making shortcuts friendlier to approach for most people by leveraging their own LLM on device to create shortcuts based on user prompts.
Just a shortcut I wanted to make for myself for the convenience of identifying a resistor faster! I know there’s an app for it / online calculators, but I figured I’d toy around with creating an identifier myself to help me learn what’s what. Feel free to tweak anything, this is just a simple 4 band version since it’s most common for me. I’ll probably try making different versions in the future. Thanks for looking!

Hit me with the podcasts you could not get enough of- something that blew your mind, made you weep, changed your opinion, taught you something you didn’t know you needed to learn, made you laugh uncontrollably. I am open to all genres, but prefer nonfiction. Bonus points for a narrator with a soothing voice.
This is not some kind of disingenuous loaded question or a roundabout way of sniping at him. I am genuinely unable to make head or tails of this guy and his success.
Philosophy was one of the subjects in my high school curriculum. Had I articulated my thoughts and asked questions the way this guy does on his pod, my grades would have been an uninterrupted sequence of Fs. I was like 15 years old and I had very simple thoughts. I didn’t attend an elite school, and it’s not like I am a philosopher now, I am just a guy.
So what’s really going on here? This person appears to be a nexus of really high quality social connections, and he interviews people at the top of their fields. His friends are certainly not (just) hacks and frauds.
Is there something Fridman has done outside of his podcasting career that warrants him such a large following, or is there some reason I don’t see why actual philosophers and thinkers are willing to sit down for 3 hours with him being …
Hi. I want to get high (weed) and clean my house tomorrow. I wanna spend all day cleaning and re-organising; what are some podcasts that I can get lost in while cleaning, high?
Cheers!
I’m looking for podcast episodes that offer actionable advice and practical insights which I can directly implement.
While I appreciate entertaining and interesting content, I’m specifically seeking recommendations for episodes that stand out for their useful and applicable content in any area from travel to finances, health, fitness, productivity, and personal development … or whatever you’ve found interesting but also useful.
Thank you!
Chris Winterbauer and Lizzie Bassett take you through the production of famous films.
And I ask: Why are more people not listening to this podcast?? It’s so much fun to hear the stories about the production of some of these movies. There are some incredible stories behind the scenes, and sometimes the productions are more interesting than the films themselves.
I picked it up on a whim some months back and I’ve been bingeing it ever since. This podcast is so much fun!
For the last few years I’ve been addicted to true crime podcasts. I love them. I almost have to listen to some kind of true crime podcast before I go to sleep now. Not the podcasts that narrate or commentate on true crime stories, but the ones that have the families, friends, victims, accused, police and lawyers speaking. Ex. Dateline, 48 Hours.
But recently I’ve been questioning myself and also why true crime is so popular psychologically.
Obviously it’s a highly serious subject matter and shocking compared to most of our own lives. But I’ve been asking myself if it’s a moral form of entertainment and whether it’s right to commercialize murder and other heinous acts… or if it’s a legitimate pursuit of journalism.
Curious to know other people’s thoughts.
It’s been a long time since I pulled an all-nighter just to read a book. The last time I did that was for “If He Had Been With Me.” It was so good that I lost track of time. I’m looking for that same experience again and would love to hear your recommendations and experiences. Thank you!
I’m trying to read more books that I normally wouldn’t pick up.
Inspired by another thread on “late 20s” tell me what book/s you wish you had read for someone just starting out and navigating adulthood in their early 20s
Bonus Points for essays. (Frickin love essays)
I feel like I got some hidden gems the last time I asked this so I wanted to go again. So to re-iterate that this is about your personal enjoyment. They could be three star easy reads or five star works of art. The books do not need to have been written in the last six months. Just you read them recently and you got that dopamine hit. And if you want to post less than five, just that one book which really hit, please do.
My example list would be
The Tainted Cup - Robert Jackson Bennett
Poor Things - Alisdair Grey
Bad Summer People - Emma Rosenblum
The Will of the Many - James Islington
Ocean’s Echo - Everina Maxwell
Edit: Thanks everyone, a load of great, diverse books here. I might try to do a little spreadsheet or something with a list for easy browsing. So keep them coming. Thanks again.
I’m a new reader and I really want something scary and idk if a book can do that but if yk some, please recommend
if you’re little lost in your late 20s, what would you recommend reading?
Lots of people on here, myself included, find it harder and harder to get into new games as time goes on. The last 2 games I’ve spent 50+ hours in were BG3 and StS, and that’s basically it for new games in the last 2 years. Conversely, I’ve probably bought 10-15 and tried demos for another 20 in that time that I later gave up on.
What about you?
Edit: since this post has blown up, I just wanted to say FUCK NINTENDO. They’re just as awful as Ubisoft or EA, but people don’t know it because they still make good games. Nintendo is not anti-consumer but anti-fan, which is baffling. Play their games, don’t pay for them.
I’m playing through Red Dead Redemption 2 again, and I’m really loving having to get to each mission. It makes the world feel more immersive, as opposed to just being a backdrop.
Are there any other open world games where fast travel is either completely absent or strongly discouraged? Gameplay, setting, genre don’t matter. I’m open to everything.
Must be on Steam.
I feel like it’s simple enough. Main character skeleton. Maybe even many skeletons. I like skeletons. Enough said.
For the past 2 months or so my main games have been Fortnite and Stardew Valley. Since I have not been enjoying this season in Fortnite I most likely won’t be playing it much for the time being.
I’m wondering what games are popular these days and maybe I can get into some of them
I am open to various genres of multiplayer/co op games
I don’t typically enjoy single player games, but over the last year I’ve noticed I enjoy them a ton if they’re presented in a certain way. The best way I can describe it is if the objective and design is simple? (even if achieving said objective can get complex)
Examples: Baba is You, Balatro, Luck Be A Landlord, Stacklands, the first act of Inscription
Edit: Thank you guys for being so welcoming with so many suggestions! Even if I didn’t directly reply do know I do take a look at every suggestion.
In most games, most skyscrapers and buildings aren’t accessible aside from a few select buildings for mission or quests or whatever.
I am looking for a city where everything is explorable. If a building exist, I can enter inside.
