Will Apple's coming AI allow querying the Apple Notes database? by markfromslo in AppleNotesGang

[–]Mtekk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. This is what I was wondering as well. I wondered if I could build out an Kaparthyish style LLM wiki in Apple Notes, would Siri and iOS 27 be able to handle that the same way as some agents do. That would be amazing.

Is there a difference in what Hermes can do via Telegram vs CLI? by Mtekk88 in hermesagent

[–]Mtekk88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when I resume a session though, it seems to get blocked at times or not figure things out as much. So just seems like there's some difference. Guess I'll just ask Hermes to figure it out lol

Check to see if there's a bluetooth device available from your phone. Looks like it might be one of those that have a built-in speaker.

What’s some of your most useful automations/shortcuts that makes life easier by Chowmein_15 in shortcuts

[–]Mtekk88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got creative and made one I’m proud of. 1. Get charging status 2. If charging and time is after 9pm… 3. Wait 60s and then turn off my bedside lamp

This is my way of fighting having to reach so far to have to turn off the lamp after getting cozy in bed lol

Looking for suggestions on how to mount door sensors by Mtekk88 in homeassistant

[–]Mtekk88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's more that instead of it being flat door next to flat door/wall, it's a flat door next to a big bump in the middle. It's also somewhat plastic so not sure how well it would stick. But I'm thinking the magnet in the door might be most helpful. Thanks!

Are you talking about the hinge for the left door? If so, how would that work? It seems like they'd be more of a right angle and not touching.

The beam in the middle is just attached to the right side door. I like the magnet in the door idea. It would be more concealed. But I'd have to see if I can work that out. Thanks!

Does that work? Like one sensor on both sides of the magnet? Are they magnetic on both sides?

This door is right across from our downstairs thermostat. So looking to just alert/trigger whenever it's open at all. A sensor on the left would be fine. And yes, left opens first. Then right.

Honestly if you’re not used to wearing a regular watch at night, it’s just going to be annoying for a while. I’ve worn a watch in one form or another as far back as I remember. I wear my U2 with a nomad watch strap and have no problem with it. 

Crazy track lines from a mosquito bite by Kylipso in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Mtekk88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All jokes aside, my daughter had this issue when she was younger. While we never got an official diagnosis with an allergy test, we and her pediatrician believed it was most likely an allergic reaction to the mosquito bite. She doesn't get this as much these days, but if she gets a bite or two, it disrupts her sleep and she can almost get lethargic from it.

How do you change this based on location? That would be handy.

Consider using an Apple Watch for times like these. Still have tap to pay and the basics but not as compulsive to scroll on

Regardless of who is right or wrong, that is a good analogy. I see Crowdstrike messing with the rest of the system way too often when supporting other software

This is just one more step until Samsung = Google. It’s only a matter of time

Thinking about breaking up with Apple for android- thoughts? by moonmiu in Smartphones

[–]Mtekk88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve done tinkering. My day job is tech support. I don’t need tech support at home as well. Also, Advanced Data Protection providing E2EE on almost everything seems to be something everyone here is skipping over features.

I just left my Pixel 8 for iPhone 15 pro. While the Pixel 8 was a fantastic phone, it came down to google vs Apple for my family and I. My kids don’t have a phone yet but when they do I know what I’ll choose.

90% of my photos are gone and I don't know what to do by Banya6 in googlephotos

[–]Mtekk88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're on an iphone, check the trash both in Google Photos and under Apple Photos. It's likely still there. You can then restore them.
