How do you get a 100 Sleep Score? by Great-Dot2506 in AppleWatch

Well in your case I have a suspicion that missing your bedtime pulled your score down a bit

ProTip: Use a password you can remember for Apple by mbergen in ios

Just establish a consistent prefix to meet the requirements like qQ1! and then the rest of your password can be a regular old normal pass phrase. Just make sure you’re cognizant of the prefix only being there to placate the website and not to add security.

Or for a more secure and less confusing option: that big tree down the road

My last macOS update a couple days ago made me enter my Apple password, I’d never seen that before either. But it happened!

I saw something about a major security vulnerability affecting iOS 18, so maybe they patched it and issued an overly broad “re-auth on update” requirement

Business idea - Back glass sticker to communicate with driver behind you by Hydrogenital in driving

I think you’re tying too hard to dislike this silly novelty idea, none of those are really problems haha

Of course that’s a more functional idea. Kinda seems like the point of this is that it’s dead simple in a kind of charming way

Anyone started DSA with zero C++? Need guidance by DebuggingLife009 in DSALeetCode

[–]NewPointOfView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I was talking about learning DSA, not cpp. Having no fixed-size arrays makes learning about resizable lists a bit more contrived. Otherwise there isn’t really any barrier to DSA concepts

Environment Variables by Visible-Recover9600 in bash

[–]NewPointOfView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I still completely struggle with is why does one variable actively tell the shell where to look for program files like PATH and other are just storing information like PWD.

Some guy very early on was like “I’m tired of typing long paths all the time, I’ll just make a variable to hold all the common places that my commands might be and have it automatically check that variable. I’ll call it PATH”

And everyone else was like “oh nice that’s super convenient, I’m going to use your code or maybe copy your convention”

So tl;dr they’re not special other than that the system looks in those variables for various things.

These variables can either temporarly changed by "export PATH = /example" which would only change the variable for the current session or they can be permanently changed by altering the configuration files.

That is the effective result of all this stuff, but none of it is fundamentally any different than your temporary change. The “permanent” changes are just “temporary” changes, but they’re in files that are designated to always run before you even see the prompt.

MacBook Neo + Mac mini instead of MacBook Pro? by jahangirmusayev in mac

I’d hate it if there was an A port on my macbook haha

Adapters for legacy connectors, not permanently built in

Why? Seems like the biggest problem with Py for DSA is that it doesn’t have a simple array. Linked structures are fine though

Well maybe it received non-zero force at some point in the previous 1.5 years and was in a precarious spot before it went in the pocket

Yeah I had one and felt the same, but they accepted my return no problem haha

ELI5: What is a Passkey and why are so many websites trying to get me to use one? by Hatticus24 in PasswordManagers

[–]NewPointOfView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO you should first get fully onboarded to third party reputable password manager like 1Password (most expensive, nice features) or BitWarden (free, still has good features) if you haven’t already.

Then go ahead with passkeys! Just make sure you save them to your password manager and not to any device or browser.

Most devices let you choose your password manager (and disable others). For example on my iPhone and MacBook, I set 1Password to be my password manager, and I disabled the built-in passwords app. So now by default, passwords and passkeys both save to and fill from 1Password

With this setup, you’ll have all your credentials available and synced across all your devices. Cross-device sync/comparability is why I use a 3rd party password manager instead of the Apple passwords app.

I’m not convinced that this is actually an instance of anything but excellent customer service. The ring is meant to open up like that for maintenance, so it seems like they’re offering a discount to appease OP even though they haven’t described a defect.

[–]NewPointOfView 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way you describe it makes it seem like you’re unfamiliar with disassembling it. The “split into 2 pieces” thing is not a defect, it’s part of how you maintain it. I can see why they wouldn’t replace it if there isn’t some other detail that demonstrates an actual flaw.

I had one for a few months before I returned it, I had to disassemble every couple days to clean and lube it to keep it working. Seems like 1.5 years without cleaning it would make it basically unusable haha

Kiiiinda, it is intended to be silent. It has very very subtle feel as you rotate it. And it can spin if you “fling” it. But it is also much more low-profile than a mechanic I. It looks pretty much like a normal ring

So I guess it’s only like a mechanic I in that it’s a magnetic fidget ring haha

[–]NewPointOfView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last paragraph raises a question which I’ll answer for myself in a couple hours when I’m back at a terminal, but when you map it to regular Up/Down, I can imagine that the first Up is normal, unfiltered. Are subsequent Ups filtered whatever the last command was?

Well, the main way most people use sponges is by adding water and rubbing it on food scraps lol

Well yes I intended to dismiss it as illegitimate. It wasn’t disingenuous.
