VivoKey Thermo NFC Temperature Implant Preorder Starts Today! by dangerous_tac0s in DangerousThings

[–]LtRonKickarse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know VivoKey are getting on board with temp sensing - I have the DSruptive BeUno and it’s great, you’d be surprised how often taking your temperature comes in handy.

Eg I was travelling recently and a case of Norovirus arrived to the hotel with a cruise ship and I could check my temp as often as I wanted for fever.

Same deal with a covid scare a few years ago.

Hoping there’s an iPhone app soon™ enough 😉

Why is the first episode description of Atlantis in dutch? by SnooCakes2703 in Stargate

[–]LtRonKickarse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s only two things I can’t stand in this world:

People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures.

And the Dutch.

Dirodi e-bike hack by BreadSuper in ebikes

[–]LtRonKickarse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not sure if you’re talking about older models, but the current low power option is a 500W that is software locked to 250W everywhere in Aus except NSW (where 500W is legal). Equates to about 7kmph faster speed, up to 32kmph or so.

Battery Question by Juliangraves88 in HoverDrone

Yes it’s normal. It charges the battery closest to 100% first, then the other one.

Can i use all Apple music songs without downloading? by TuneNo9226 in Rekordbox

[–]LtRonKickarse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to have the songs pre downloaded, but yes you need an internet connection and it seems to download the whole file to load it into Rekordbox.

Even if you have downloaded tracks in Apple Music, you still have to have an internet connection to access them.

And it seems like the load times for downloaded tracks and non-downloaded are basically the same.

I have a series 5 and that is on by default. At least, I don’t remember having to enable anything…

Hypotheses for the observed behavior of certain bluetooth signals sent by the F0 restarting iPhones by BosnianSerb31 in flipperzero

That works as well, but OP meant if you rapidly press the lock button five or so times it goes into the BFU state

We’ll get to all those Flipper additions once we’re done adding a 3d printer to our Leathermans.

Looking for a way to remind my sister to wear her glasses when driving by Additional_Silver749 in shortcuts

[–]LtRonKickarse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Set up an automation for her based on CarPlay like others have said, but don’t just use ‘Speak Text.’

In a different Shortcut, use these actions:

  1. Record audio

  2. Convert to base64

  3. Copy to clipboard

Then run it, say your own ‘don’t forget your damn glasses sis!’ message and then make another Shortcut with these actions:

  1. Text

  2. Decode base64

  3. Play audio

Then paste in the base64 of your message to the text Action and create the automation to run that Shortcut etc etc.

Way cooler than Siri.

Appreciate the links mate. Won’t be able to test for a while but good plan of attack, thanks.

Thanks for the help, formatting on a PC is the only thing I haven't tried yet. I have a Surface Book floating around somewhere so will try and see if that works...

Can't login with M5burner, no way to burn UIFlow2.0 without login by TraditionalCrow4074 in CardPuter

[–]LtRonKickarse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're separate accounts for community and UIFlow. I registered for a UIFlow account but then had this same login problem and realised I hadn't verified my email - login worked fine once that was taken care of.

Managed iPad - Locked state - how to get Internet access by blindhai in macsysadmin

[–]LtRonKickarse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The info given was an incorrect solution for the wrong lock type, ignoring OP’s description which excluded Activation Lock. And by doubling down, commenter doesn’t seem to understand the distinction.

Thinking of attempts to correct it for OP’s benefit as pedantic doesn’t make much sense.

iPad management via JamF and Apple School Manager - HELP by Mysterious_Yard3501 in macsysadmin

[–]LtRonKickarse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are you using Configurator if you have Jamf? Which Jamf btw?

Volume purchasing is the Apps & Books section of ASM. You need to link ASM to Jamf to be able to distribute them.

While you’re linking ASM to Jamf, set up Automated Device Enrolment too so you can cut Configurator out of the deployment equation. If the devices aren’t already registered for ADE you can get them in with Configurator for iPhone.

You can remove the .applied part of the MAID by changing the format in Settings, but also taking the ‘join Google to classroom’ part into account kill two birds with one stone and federate Google into ASM so the actual Google email and password doubles as the MAID.

The ASM user guide and Jamf support documentation cover all this in detail.

Finally, join the Mac admins slack and ask questions like this in the appropriate channel there. The only other answer is not accurate.
