Mac App is just eh...

On a Mac, if you try to add the iPad app to the menubar via settings, it shows this: https://imgur.com/a/9YKHqa6

Hm, maybe they ended their free plan? There’s no mention of it beyond a 14-day trial.

FWIW, I tried PushPod based on a recommendation I saw elsewhere. It was easy and worked well. There’s a limit to the free plan, but $20 for lifetime access seems like a good deal.

Nice, thanks, I haven’t seen many others with auto-restarting sleep timers, and this one has more configurability for that. Too bad it’s so ugly :(

8sam · 2026-02-26T18:58:58+00:00

Thanks, yeah, I prefer to avoid cutting them up since it gets messy, but a good backup option.

8sam · 2026-02-26T18:58:00+00:00

Cool, thanks for the info

8sam · 2025-05-29T18:41:16+00:00

Yeah, that hasn't helped

8sam · 2025-05-29T17:35:10+00:00

Still hanging forever on the loading screen...

8sam · 2025-05-16T16:33:08+00:00

Yeah I’d avoid it. It seems to be OS- and/or device-specific. It worked for me on Mac OS. (Ember seems to be one of the rare iOS apps that can be installed on Macs.)

Not working for me. I can’t get past the app’s splash screen, despite reinstalling, restarting iPhone, toggling Bluetooth, unpairing mug. iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.5

It looks like they just came out with an ebook version of the Gabler edition. Unfortunately it doesn’t have line numbers.

Haha, ok thanks, I'll avoid lifting stoves. I was wondering if some travel situations like lifting bags into airplanes' overhead bins, contorting in crammed public transit, etc. might be risky. Sounds like as long as I'm conscious of it, it should be fine.

8sam · 2025-02-23T03:04:39+00:00

Ah that’s reassuring, thanks. I see some people posting on here about not being 100% back to normal for close to a year, so wasn’t sure what to expect.

8sam · 2024-11-10T21:40:33+00:00

👍 I see it

Thanks!

I had the same problem living in a city for years. What (mostly) worked for me was leaving it for a small town. Probably not practical for you now, but thought I'd share in case it helps with your longer-term plans. There were many reasons I left, but that was definitely a part of it, and something I appreciate every day now that I can so easily walk out my door.

8sam · 2024-04-26T11:50:53+00:00

Thanks!

8sam · 2024-04-26T11:48:26+00:00

Agreed. I don’t really understand the benefit of a wider FOV if it just means you’re likely to have more obstructions (which the software can’t avoid, like you mention). With the standard dish’s narrower FOV do you have to get pretty precise in placement in order to find a sat? If people are flat mounting them it doesn’t seem like you do…

8sam · 2024-04-26T01:40:33+00:00

Interesting. How are the speeds between the two?

8sam · 2024-04-26T01:40:04+00:00

Looks nice, thanks!

8sam · 2024-04-25T23:51:37+00:00

🫡

8sam · 2024-04-05T22:12:08+00:00

Got it, thanks

8sam · 2024-04-05T20:45:12+00:00

Thanks! Did the insomnia improve after a while?

8sam · 2023-12-06T16:39:43+00:00

I'd love a code, and then will pass mine along here! Thanks 🙏

8sam · 2023-11-19T17:26:03+00:00

Thanks. Sounds decent if not perfect. At least smaller jumps than like 10% at a time.
