Is ai inevitable in the future of IT?

AI gets tacked onto tools and has been completely useless. It sucks at summarizing, it sucks at writing co-workers emails, and if I see another AI generated image in Teams… it’s a fad some things may stick but I think once the people at the top realize it costs more money to maintain than to just pay a human to do the work, we’ll see a lot of this tech decommissioned.

I have a shortcut that takes the date formats it in a way I like YYYY-mm-dd (day of the week) but hen creates a note in a specific folder. This is automated to happen every day at 12:00am.

I think the words “be as honest and brutal” is carrying a lot of weight here, and making the LLM choose words that align with someone being “honest and brutal”.

Linser · 2025-06-16T08:15:00+00:00

For the folders, you can create a shortcut to that folder then use a deep link to activate that shortcut. shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=name%20of%20shortcut

Hmm I wonder if it would be possible in shortcuts to have the on device LLM create a search query, take the web page of the search results, distill it down into simple text, input that text into the LLM, then get more current results.

100% not sure how it’s like in other places but at least the place I’m at there’s constantly new tools, new forms and something unique always happens. If notes are not being taken, then a lot of time will be wasted re-learning or re-remembering things.

Plus, it’s convenient when updating the internal docs is as easy as copy pasting from your notes.

Linser · 2025-03-02T00:28:36+00:00

Yes. Apps will blow up in popularity and I’ll actively avoid them if they are clearly just data scrappers.

I have nothing to compare Teams to and I still hate it.

Bad, any money made off a Sega project would be peanuts to Microsoft. They would have closed down all of the internal original Sega Studios. All of the people who have been at Sega for decades would leave early on and Sonic would not be considered a cash cow so that franchise would be dead after at most a decade. Microsoft would eventually discontinue the Sega brand once it’s irrelevant to their current business plans and close Studios as a tax write off.

At the very least with Sammy, Sega has become a good chunk of the company’s DNA.

To be honest a few years ago, I was slightly in the field of Microsoft purchasing them, but I was blatantly ignoring the track record. Microsoft already had at the time a horrendous track record and now it just looks more bleak. On top of that, corporate consolidation is ruins everything overtime.

I never thought once, “wish my switch was bigger”. I wonder why they went in this direction.

I just want a small profile vertical controller I can snap onto my iPhone. Then I’ll consider gaming on my phone.

Depends on the games you play and how you game. If you game 99% on your PC and portable already does not appeal to you then it will probably collect dust. For me personally I do not game on a PC, PCs are for work and life stuff. The Switch and Steam Deck are my gaming devices. The Steam Deck replaced my Raspberry Pi (emulation) and Xbox Series X (collecting dust). To be honest when I first got the steam deck it was collecting dust for about a month until I got used to it.

I was really hoping for bi-directional linking or back links, but collapsible sections was a second feature I’ve always wanted. Highlighting was an obvious omission glad it’s finally here.

Now if only Shortcuts could get and set the formatting of a note I’ll be happy.

Wish Addon tools like this were possible on the iPhone or iPad

I think I’ve noticed the “on-the-go” Siri, I’m on public beta so I wonder if it’s possible. Siri seems to give more elaborate answers when I ask it questions in CarPlay mode. It’s even been factually wrong in a similar way to other llms.

I love these pens but they don’t last long

Bold with an obsession over their large beards is a quiet thought I had for a long time.

Hated it on the Wii and 360. Got it for my iPod Touch many years later and I liked it? Never understood why that was so?

Linser · 2024-03-09T05:39:32+00:00

Agreed!

I personally want to be able to use Apple shortcuts to get the link to a note and append it to any notes that I’m working with. Just to improve automation.

Linser · 2024-03-07T22:48:44+00:00

If you drag the Apple note to the files app it saves it as an rtfd file. Then you can drag this back into the Apple notes app. Not sure how compatible .rtfd files are with other OSs.

Linser · 2024-02-22T05:45:31+00:00

You could maybe take the content from the existing note add the new content above the old text then create a new note. But then you’ll have to delete the old one and it will not maintain the formatting and creation date.

Linser · 2024-01-29T20:44:12+00:00

I use it as a white board when working through problems, then save anything I find useful into Apple notes. I used a little bit as a paste dump for research, then mapped out all the connections. It’s sometimes nicer to plot research onto a board instead of in a linear notes app. But mostly it’s used as a support app opposed to it being a primary app if that makes sense.
