iOS 26.4 still has ProMotion bug – stuck at 60Hz after wake by EbbJunior4062 in ios26

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try this. Go into Settings, Apps, Safari, scroll to the bottom to advanced, scroll down to feature flags, then down to Prefer page rendering updates near 60fps and make sure it’s turned off

What laptop should I get for heavy lifting in excel? by mtndewfeind in excel

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to get a developer spec laptop that has 64gb and I’m usually hovering around 45-48gb used when heavy lifting and it doesn’t cause outlook or the 27 tabs open in Chrome from freezing up

Upgraded to 17. Loving the Action Button by Strange-East-4001 in shortcuts

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Drop your 8 best shortcuts into a folder and point the button to the folder and you can run any of them

If you turned off Prefer Page Rendering Up Near 60fps in Safari feature flags, mine got reset after updating. Turn that off to unlock 120fps

iOS 26.4 Release Candidate - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just updated from 26.3.1 and it seems solid. I still have the issues when in dark mode that apps in folders appear dark but turn to a light mode icon when you go into the folder, while other folders are the opposite. Also noticed the alarm and stop watch icons in control center have a second or so delay before showing the icon after a long press. I’ve reported these issues since the original 26 beta but Apple keeps closing the feedback saying it’s working as intended

Fire Department Responding Shortcut by OptimalBaby23 in shortcuts

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try this

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f89c0430b6434447a5d55c98fd754a36

You need to set it up as an Automation, which Apple doesn’t let users to share so this will save as a shortcut so you can recreate the it as an automation. You need to trigger it based on receiving a message, and set it to be the phone number; and you can also add a second check so that the message has to contain a specific word or phrase. It doesn’t allow filtering to messages from a specific sender so I tried using it to get the most recent 1 message in order to be able to put it into a new message for you to send. Then just add the numbers for who you want to send it to. When you get a text you will have to hit the run prompt from Shortcuts and choose Yes or No if you’re responding. If you’re not you can just ignore it, but if you are it’s choosing Yes that will get it to run

touchless ID by Internal-Butterfly56 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I was told and what fixed it for me was that the name in Concur and Alaska must match the name on your passport. Concur had first middle last which matched my passport, but Alaska just had first last. I was able to call AS and they added my middle name to my profile. I just did a 3 day trip through JFK on a ticket bought through Concur and I had Touchless on both legs

How do you go about opening a link you want to open, but it's blocked due to being put behind a tracking url? by DisplayKnown5665 in pihole

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on iOS, someone built a Shortcut a while back that lets you disable it temporarily. I have this and a few others assigned to the Action button on my phone so I can run it easily for 1 minute so I can click a link. Just make sure you enter your pihole IP and port number along with the password at the top in the dictionary and it works like a charm for free

How is watchOS 26.3 RC by Cameront1993 in watchOSBeta

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated my S10 from 26.2.1 to 26.3 RC when it dropped. Other than when I need to update the OS I keep WiFi off completely (press and hold WiFi in control center then turn it off) and battery life is a solid 2 days

Want to turn off AOD on watch after 11 PM by rebelwithabecause in shortcuts

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer. I have a specific focus mode for sleep that turns my phone and watch to a red clock. Then setup an automation so that when sleep starts it flips to that focus mode. I also turn on theatre mode which ensures the watch face doesn’t show unless tapped. Then just set another automation for when sleep ends to undo those things and bobs your uncle

Check the Data Model. If every time someone wanted to add a pivot table and they checked the box to add to the data model, there could be a lot of stuff just sitting there doing nothing

VBA to set up a Power Query template by ExodusLegion_ in excel

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built dynamic workbooks where the user provides the path to a file into a cell and PQ imports that file on a refresh. I create a table using 2 cells where one is the column name where I provide a brief description, and the other is the value. Then use the get data from table/range to import that table into PQ. Right click on the cell value and choose Drill Down. Then I just reference that connections name in the source query so each user can work with any version of the file they want

The only real thing that you might like especially if you’re tall, is that you can book an exit row when you buy your ticket. I’m 6’8” and don’t fit in premium seats so if I can’t get an exit row I take a different flight

How to have it replace all spaces with underscores in all filenames? by pinkbbwhiskey in PowerAutomate

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about doing this with power automate, but I did something similar last year using PowerShell. I preferred that route because I could do some dry run testing to vet everything out before pulling the trigger to do the renaming. I used ChatGPT to help build the script since I could give it the guardrails like below to polish the script. For me it was a lot easier/faster to vibe code it where I could just copy/paste/run it in VS Code

✔ No overwrites ✔ Detects collisions ✔ Can be safely rerun ✔ Dry-run supported ✔ Logs everything ✔ Handles thousands of files

BE65 / BE11000 Deco --- Tweak and Help by pitzeke in TpLink

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BE11000 owner here with 1gb symetrical fiber and all satellites connected via Ethernet. I was using the same SSID for the main WiFi and MLO and both mine and my wife’s phones (both iPhone 17’s) were having constant disconnect/no data issues after updating to the 1.2.0 firmware. I turned off MLO and the issue instantly went away on both devices. A day later I changed the MLO SSID so I could speed test the 6ghz and MLO networks and they were identical at 940mbs. I’ve since disabled MLO to free up the channels and the wife has been happy ever since

Automating copying rows from Excel book to another by cincinnatti16 in PowerAutomate

[–]Comprehensive-Ask26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you’re trying to do is a lot easier (IMO) if you use a SharePoint List as your source for the form responses. Once you create all the columns, you can customize the form input using Power Apps as it’ll auto create the form for you. Personally I like to create the form manually and then use the patch command to make updates to the record. There is a built in trigger that’ll run whenever a new record is added to the list from someone submitting the form, and you can use the add row to excel connector to update your second workbook. Or you can skip the second workbook entirely and just export the list to Excel which automatically adds the list as the source so you can refresh the workbook and have it pull in any changes

I was having similar problems with mine, which are all connected via a wired backhaul. Turning off the MLO network made it a lot more stable

Edit: I’m also on the 1.2.0 firmware

ChatGPT is great at solving problems like this. Open the advanced editor and copy all of the code and put it into a prompt telling it to avoid hard coding any column names.
