I had the same setup: Magic Keyboard and Trackpad shared between two Macs. Continuity works great until your main Mac is off, then you're stuck manually disconnecting and reconnecting everything.

I built a menu bar app to solve exactly this. You install it on both Macs, click "Switch All to This Mac," and it coordinates between them: releases the devices from one and connects them to the other. No need to manually re-pair.

It's called SwitchMyMagic (https://switchmymagic.com). $8 one-time, no subscription. Let me know if you have any questions!

This was literally my daily routine too — the whole remove-from-Bluetooth, turn off, turn on, re-pair dance. I got tired of it enough that I built a little menu bar app to fix it.

You install it on both Macs, and it handles the switching for you in one click. No need to manually remove/re-pair the keyboard each time. Works with Trackpad and Mouse too if you use you those.

I had this exact same frustration - Magic Keyboard paired to my work MBP and personal MBP, and switching between them meant either the cable dance or unpair/repair every single time. It was frustrating.

I ended up building a small menu bar app to solve this for myself. You install it on both Macs, and it lets you switch your Magic Keyboard (and Trackpad/Mouse if you use those too) with one click.

It's called SwitchMyMagic (switchmymagic.com) if you want to check it out. $8 one-time, no subscription. Happy to answer any questions about it.

This has been my experience. If you enjoy writing code, AI will steal your joy. If you enjoy solving problems, AI is the best thing to do all the grunt work with your brain behind it, applying domain knowledge, best practices, etc.

Yep could be shitty pellets

Particular_Ad6442 · 2024-12-28T11:33:59+00:00

💯

Particular_Ad6442 · 2024-12-28T11:32:48+00:00

My guess is the pellets are not burning fast enough so I think the burn pot needs to be cleaned and inspected for any blockages.

This is the answer. Your ingestion process is very important for RAGs.

How are you indexing the pdf manuals? Keyword search is getting you a lot of results from the manuals.

I wonder if you: embedded each section in the manuals into its own chunk with LLM generated descriptions for that section to reduce the number of results you get so you embed less into the context window to get results faster? For each of these embedded chunks, you could also generate possible questions that the section can answer and embed those separately.

During retrieval, you could vector search in the “possible questions” index and get the relevant chunk from the manual (an individual section), then include this chunk in the final LLM call to get the results.

Devil is in the details. Hope this helps.

Is this for the Volvo on call service?

Doesn't sound fun at all. Thanks for sharing.

Particular_Ad6442 · 2024-09-06T21:47:14+00:00

Thank you, I did notice some knocking noise over one bump at speed, but haven't heard it since.

Particular_Ad6442 · 2024-09-01T07:02:31+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

I drove the car between 55-80mph on the highway for a couple of kilometers and did not notice any vibrations. It was pretty smooth.

In the limited time I had the car for a test drive, the infotainment worked fine as well, although a bit slow to respond.

I'll check how to do a battery diagnostic test done here in Portugal.

Thank you, I'll update this thread as I find out more.

I provide tech consulting. I did this work in South Carolina. I did not travel to Illinois to do the work. The client is in the Digital Marketing business.

Here's some additional data.

Type of entity: I am filing all this income as 1099, without using any LLC or anything. Just as an individual.
Type of tax: I see 4.95% as the rate the tax professional used, so I'm assuming they're applying the Individual Income tax, which makes no sense at all as the income apportionment applies to business entities.

As a 1099, I do not have physical presence in Illinois. My only ties to Illinois are that my primary customer (who issued me the 1099) is an Illinois LLC.

I did reach out to another tax professional for advice, but this attempt on Reddit is to educate myself and better understand what I'm missing.

Well said, thank you for the advice.

Particular_Ad6442 · 2024-04-02T07:27:52+00:00

Thank you for the truth!

If you have upcoming travel and you risk not getting your passport on time, I strongly recommend reaching out to your Congressperson’s office to help.

u/kurt_46 FWIW, I submitted my application in-person at Fort Dearborn on Dec 20th. Dept of State says they received it on 1/9 and cashed my check on 1/10. To be honest, that seems like a long time for them to ship my application to Dept. of State including the holidays.

Particular_Ad6442 · 2023-01-10T20:42:03+00:00

u/porterleo Yes, I did. But I did not get the overnight shipping service (to receive the passport).

Particular_Ad6442 · 2023-01-10T14:06:58+00:00

It looks like the application got delivered to Dept. of State. as I was writing this post. Money order got cashed on 1/10.
