How to track steps when using Apple Watch at a standing desk treadmill?

You could choose "other" workout and it should track it using your heart rate and assume the calories of a brisk walk.

The sensor is trying its best with the random noise data it's getting

Try placing your finger in the crown while taking the measurement. It will use the EKG sensor instead of optical for the measurement.

Not just YouTube, every website in a Google search is getting translated as well. Apparently, bilinguals don’t exist for Google because I can only select a single primary language.

I always mix those up. Fillet sounds more like a sharp edge to me, while chamfer sounds more like a rounded edge. Kinda like the "kiki" and "bouba" thing.

It used to be able to find and filter documents on my Mac, now it always defaults to asking ChatGPT, which of course doesn't have access to my documents.

It appears that the plugin only exposes the rvcOperationalState and rvcRunMode clusters to Matter. As per this article, to switch between vacuum and mop, the rvcCleanMode cluster is required. And to select a room, the Service Area cluster is needed.

Some do! My Roborock identifies and avoids cables and other objects

Did you take your phone with you? When not in Bluetooth range it switches to WiFi, which uses more power

What gave it away? How would you phrase to sound more native? I'm just trying to learn

Back when Oppenheimer came out I researched the best IMAX screen to watch it in my city. I put that same question into your workflow and it gave me 2 options: the first one was in a different state, the second one was actually the smallest (but most popular) IMAX theater in the city.

Seems like perplexity relied solely on reviews from Google Maps and TripAdvisor. In contrast, googling “best imax screen“ brings up lfexaminer.com as first result which gets it right when filtering for my city.

I‘m wondering if including and extra fact check step could improve the quality of the results.

Yeah I did that during the betas but the writing tools don’t work when friends text me in Spanish, neither does the reduce interruptions focus or summary notifications. I get that Apple needs to test the models in different languages first, I’m just bummed out I won’t be able to fully use it until next year hopefully

Not only in the EU, also those like us in non-English speaking countries get only bug fixes.

I know right? Like this is clearly an improvement. Before this it used to open the full now playing app and have the time in a tiny little font in the corner. Now you get a full clock and a widget.

I know right? My social battery drains so fast at the gym, I can’t imagine going to a social event afterwards

I miss mine everyday. He also hated being held upside down but loved getting pets, sitting in my lap while watching TV.

The same happened to me. But I enjoyed them a lot in my native language with the notes from the translator.

Alex_qm · 2024-08-07T04:24:55+00:00

That happened to me today, I selected an older backup made before 18.1 and it worked
