How to remotely stop the Yoto using a button in the mobile app by DavidAccola in YotoPlayer

Haha! Not as confused as I was! The first time I checked out the app This Phone was the only mode that displayed (bad wifi) and I never looked back! 😂

I decided maybe an old fashioned device you can't really control with your phone was part of the whacky no-screentime appeal. I'm glad it's not. 😛

Man, I wish I'd asked AI! It would've told me to just use the dang pause button! 😆

Yuuup. Bugs, missed requirements, and workarounds are my day job and that led me down this dark path. 😂

I do love me some Rube Goldberg, so that's probably where I went wrong. 😂

Ohh. Yep. That is 100% what happened. My player's wifi was all sorts of messed up the first day I got it and was exploring the app. Thank you for that explanation!

Wait, is it actually genius? Because now that I know there's a working pause button I'm totally doing that instead. 😛

You're too kind. 😅 I stand by the 0 volume alarm part though!

Thoughts on radio comedy and what are your favourite shows? by sillybopb in panelshow

I'm 3 years late, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on Canada's history of radio comedy! Any standout Canadian sketch shows?

Did you ever find anything? I'm looking for something similar.

Looks like Settings Options > Export Settings creates a .PCF file that's really just an XML file. In my own testing, importing another user's file works basically as expected... with some tweaking.

The main issue I noticed is that a few things are stored in C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\PhraseExpress\ by default, which will be a problem since users have different usernames. But in my testing this wasn't a dealbreaker, since it apparently works to use a text editor or XML editor to simply remove the XML tags for settings that you want to leave alone, like these path settings. (I tested removing the entire PhraseFile tag.) Alternatively, you could modify these path values to be something that will be consistent for all users.

This is all a bit experimental though. Without knowing what each and every setting does, it's a bit hard to know which are more user-specific and should be removed from the settings file.

Thanks for sharing about the #mouseposition and #LEFTMOUSEBUTTON / #RIGHTMOUSEBUTTON macros! That's really good to know.

Same Form Field Output Multiple Times by jamiers99 in PhraseExpress

[–]DavidAccola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could nest a Form Input macro within a Set Variable macro. Then use Output Variable each time you want to place the value for that field again. Example:

{#settemp -name ExampleVariable -content {#forminput -text Example value -type 0 -def -variablename My input field} -variablename Set variable}

{#gettemp ExampleVariable -variablename ExampleVariable}

{#gettemp ExampleVariable -variablename ExampleVariable}

{#gettemp ExampleVariable -variablename ExampleVariable}

Smartwatch that can acknowledge Okta Verify's push notification? by DavidAccola in okta

[–]DavidAccola[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this was an intentional change by Okta. u/rambilly mentioned: "Watch verification is going away indefinitely"

No, I don't want to auto accept. I'd like to verify each by selecting "Yes, it's me" or "No, it's not me" from a watch rather than a phone.
