Demolition Man?? Can’t wait for this to go wrong.
I’m not 100% clear on the pricing. Do I get this for “free” as part of a premium subscription to Proton Mail/Drive/Calendar or is this a separate subscription?
Yeah, just ask any Tesla driver who also has Tesla insurance. I’d be screwed HARD as I go to work when it’s still dark out and according to Tesla that makes me a huge risk.
Well, if you think connected apps are the only way cars invade your privacy…. That’s cute, good for you.
Road speed, accelerator position, brake pedal position, number of seatbelts buckled or not, GPS position and heading, time since key on and probably at least a dozen other parameters I can’t think of off the top of my head are all being recorded. Those certainly are personal data that can and will be used against you in the event of a crash.
If they have airbags and ABS they know a shitload more than you think.
I’m still running a DS414 filled with WD Red drives. I’ve only swapped out one of the drives as it was starting to have issues. I’ve considered upgrading for more features (Docker, Home Assistant etc) but can’t justify the expense just for “nice to have” instead of “need”. Realistically it only stores Linux ISOs that I get with Download Station.
Amen, sister!! I’ve wanted one of those since they first launched in Europe.
“Pay yourself first”. My bank has a feature that allows me to setup automated money transfers to and from different accounts based on rules I setup. The most important one is when any deposit is received from my employer, 20% of the amount is automatically transferred from my chequing account to my retirement account. My paycheque is deposited overnight and the money is already “gone” by the time I wake up in the morning. Treat it like another tax on your income that you have no way to avoid paying. Then live off what’s left.
Not seeing this behaviour on my Mini5…
This is awesome and terrible at the same time. Now we’re back to endless notifications that we can’t disable. I’m getting dozens of notifications a day from the shortcuts app for the newly allowed background automations.
Showed up for me within 10mins of the update dropping but my brother’s still aren’t showing anything 9hrs later.
Canada here. Professional communication at work is done via email. Sending coworkers nasty memes throughout the day is done by iMessage/FB Messenger. Outside of work it’s all iMessage (or SMS with the two people I know who don’t have iOS devices). I don’t know a single person that has ever used WhatsApp.
“To me, anything more than 4 hours is a 1 day drive.”
Wow, where do you live that 4hrs is such a big deal? To be fair, I used to work with a guy that had to pack a lunch and plan his trip days in advance just to “go into town” which was maybe a 45min (75km) trip each way on a 4 lane divided freeway.
Apple Music because it’s fully functional/supported across all Apple devices. I have iPhones, iPads, Watches, MacBook, HomePods & Apple TVs. No need to screw around with trying to airplay Spotify to a HomePod when it’s just available natively with Apple Music. Apple Music can be integrated into “scenes” in the Home app. Apple Music can stream over cellular on an Apple Watch. I pay for Apple One Premier and share with 5 family members, FWIW.
Check out an app called Sleep Cycle. It has Hue integration built right in. No need for IFTTT.
The native iOS clock app has a feature where you can set a timer. At the end of the timer you can choose “stop playing” instead of an alarm tone.
iOS has built in “background sounds” that you can customize in settings>accessibility>audio&visual and then trigger via control centre. Works while playing other media at the same time.
You can setup a “personal automation” in the shortcuts app to start your Spotify playlist when you stop an alarm. Can’t think of any way to slowly increase the volume though.
As someone else mentioned, you can use an NFC tag instead of a QR code.
My biggest gripe is that no matter how many times I tell Siri that I hate country music (and I hate it with a passion that burns hotter than the sun) she never learns. Every time I open the app there’s a suggestion for country top hits or whatever. I’ll listen to just about anything else but I HATE HATE HATE country music.
86% is a very suspicious number if you ask me. My launch day 12 Pro Max has been at 86% health for at least 6-8 months. My launch day Series 4 Apple Watch was at 86% health when I upgraded to the Ultra on launch day… if I had a tinfoil hat I’d probably want to know more about the meaning of 86%.
I use iCloud mail because everything I own is Apple. You just can’t beat how it syncs between my phone, Watch, iPad & MacBook. FWIW, the native mail app is the only one that can compose a new email from scratch on an Apple Watch. I’m all in with Apple services.
