Cool trick I found accidentally today. It’s quite reliable and hides the annoying app opening notifications. Happy to answer questions in this thread or in YouTube Comments.
Philips Hue - Device Battery 100%
Change group of lights to specific color when your device battery reached 100%
I created this shortcut to get visual feedback about the battery status when the iPhone or iPad is 100% charged.
If you like my work please show me some love.
Standard configuration:
1 time blinking and turn all group lights to green. After 2 seconds they turn back to its previous state.
First time setup:
This shortcut queries the current status of all lamps that are in the specified group so that the previous status is automatically reactivated after the action.
To run this shortcut automatically, the command must be included in an automation that executes a shortcut at 100% battery status.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I couldn’t wait for my favorite podcast to come out with new episodes so that I could hear how the hosts were doing and their take on the whole thing. Now, I don’t even want to listen to podcasts from before- they just seem off. Is anyone else feeling this?
Hillary Clinton: I happened to be on the line with @PeteButtigieg, recording an episode of his podcast, right as he got the news of his nomination for Transportation secretary. I think he’s a great pick—and you can listen to the episode to hear the job advice I gave him.
Oh boy have podcasts been necessary this year. Here are a few I really like/liked.
Dead Eyes - Reflecting on being fired (supposedly) by Tom Hanks in Band of Brothers for having, “Dead Eyes” an investigative podcast about something that really doesn’t matter, but greatly impacted one actor/comedian. Really charming and funny.
Wind of Change - Was there a secret CIA conspiracy with the German Rock Band “The Scorpions” during the Cold War?
Threedom! - Scott Aukerman, Paul F Thompkins and Lauren Lapkus are back and now its freeeeeee! Pure silliness. Low stress.
The Endless Honeymoon Podcast - A comedy advice podcast with married couple Moshe Kasher and Natasha Leggero, who also take “Secrets” from listeners. Thankfully they don’t have their shit that together as a couple so the advice is for fun a lot of time, though sometimes insightful.
Chameleon - The Hollywood Con Queen. Don’t google it and just start listening if you want a …
And the reporter who led the series, Rukmini Callimachi, is being reassigned to another beat. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/18/business/media/new-york-times-caliphate-podcast.html
As this medium grows in popularity and increasing nos of users tune in, do you think that podcasts( considering that there are low barriers to entry and almost anyone can make one) will become a new disinformation medium especially in the political domain?
This Guardian article is what made me think about this.
I’m currently listening to episodes of Behind the Bastards dedicated to reading excerpts of Ben Shapiro’s fictional novel and roasting it. Which reminded me of years back when I listened to someone on YouTube named Gines do the same thing to books written by Onision.
In both situations, these were professional writers (journalists/editors) who tear down everything from poor grammar to plot holes to bad writing format. There’s something about it that I love and I want more.
Mine: I put off reading the highly recommended Piranesi by Susanna Clarke because I thought it would be too exhausting to read and was in the mood for fluffy reads for ages. I loved it in the end and have already recommended it to others!
What’s yours?
Edit: I didn’t actually realise Piranesi was such a new book but I’d felt like I’d seen it recommended here for months. ‘Putting off’ can be applied to one week or 15+ years so my answer still stands :)
Edit : thanks for all the wonderful responses! It seems like many readers hate particular books because of schools making it a chore. Another reason seems to be really high expectations😂. And the third is obviously personal taste in books and how every reader has unique tastes ! This was really interesting, again thank you! Another unique thing I have noticed is that people hate a book when it’s done too well..like a horror novel that’s too scary , a thriller too dark or with really unlikable characters , or a fantasy with too much idk fantasy ? Lol
I’m looking for a book that reads like an episode of black mirror or twilight zone. I’m trying to get back into the reading game after high-school drained me of motivation to read. I love the idea of something scary and gripping but not attached to a movie (I’ll cheat). Thanks!
I am having a hardtime understanding a book with many of my books. I am pretty good in English but I don’t seem to understand what the meaning of a book. It is like complicated. I know that is why there is a beauty in a book but I am working my way up. What book that has simple English but in the adult category.
Edit : Thank you so much guys! I read the most of the comments. I can’t read all the books but I will definitely check some of them out. Thank you so much.
