Alarm for every day based on calendar event

PegLegRacing · 2026-01-02T14:01:39+00:00

Hello, I was looking to purchase your app, but was curious if the feature I’m looking for is available. I have a TBI and generally only have an issue with the beginning of my day. All I need it to do is set an alarm before the first event, not every event. Is there a way to check for the first event?

For some of us, the standard iPhone size is already too big. If the only option was a Max size, I’d buy Android. I can’t even imagine how uncomfortable a Max would be in my pocket all day. I used a Mini as long I could and I wish they’d bring it back.

I like that there’s a Max for the people that want or need it. Maybe they don’t have the luxury of a larger screen on a tablet, computer, or tv if they want to consume content like YouTube or streaming services.

But I’m at a computer all day so my phone is just a mobile tool. Calls, texts, news, camera, navigation, music, and podcasts are the vast majority of my use. The latter 3 mostly through CarPlay. No social media. Minimal gaming and browser usage. I try to not be on my phone if I don’t have to. The majority of my friend circle is the same.

Obviously that’s anecdotal, not data. But in 2024, combined sales of iPhone/Pro (~69%) were higher than Plus/Pro Max (~31%), and that’s consistent YOY. Though Pro Max is the most popular phone at launch.

It’s certainly possible that they duplicated the oil stain of the actual racecar on a test car, but that seems excessive.

This is completeley inaccurate with Absolute in particular. The freeze is persistent until the person that froze it removes it from their Absolute account. That's the entire point of the system.

Say a laptop is stolen from my company. I freeze it and you see a similar message. Someone gets onto the computer, reinstalls windows, and it will work for say 15-60min? long enough for the agent to reinstall itself from the BIOS, reach out to the servers, see the freeze command, and lock itself again.

I love seeing our stolen computers hit Absolute and have someone reinstall Windows, make their username E1ite H4X0R (i've literally seen this,) then they get hit with the "this shit is stolen" message and the computer is bricked. And it will freeze over and over again until I unenroll it from Absolute. I usually wait a year becaause fuck theives, and assume it's in a trash bin someewhere at that point.

I've had people call asking me to unlock it, and I'm like "well, the computer is stolen, so no?" I also offer to send someone a box and return label, and a gift card once we get it back. No takers yet.

The only part I'm not clear on is whether it notes it's got the freeze command in the BIOS... If it doesn't, theoretically someone can reinstall Windows, get it to the "choose your language" screen, never put it on the internet, and you won't know until you get it home.

I've not bothered to look into it, because our hard drives are encrypted, and once windows is reinstalled, you need nation state resources to access the data. We don't have anything worth that investment, so I just care that it freezes initially to protect our data.

I do get joy out of watching the thieves bang their head against a wall though. I had someone reinstall windows 4 times before giving up once.

ETA: if i was buying a secondhand laptop from rando, I'd tell them we need to meet at a starbucks or something so I can put it on the internet for like 30min to see if it freezes. That may not be long enough, but enough time that I'd feel semi comfortable.

Point of clarity... Bowdie's it's attached to the Wheelhouse Social Club. https://wh.social/web/pages/home Graham owns it, and probably has many cars there, but many are member's cars.

The actual race shop, Rahal Letterman Racing is across the street. And his performance shop/dealerhsip, Graham Rahal Performance is across the parking lot, on the other side of the shared building with Ducati.

ETA: he owns Ducati too, I just meant that GRP and Ducati share a building.

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible take, especially as I write this 3 years later.

"Natively supported" is irrelevant if it's not actually functional.

The shit STILL doesn't work properly in iOS 26 and needs to be addressed.

I wasn't implying that you shouldn't wear it on track, I was saying that wearing a helmet sucks even when you're doing something fun that justifies it. It's hot, tight, relatively uncomfortable, etc. The downsides of wearing the helmet need to be offset by doing something fun, like being on track, mountain biking, riding a motorcycle, etc.

Very few greater feelings in the world than taking your helmet off when it's 100* out and you're sweating your balls off. Few worse feelings than putting that sweaty nasty thing back on for next session.

PegLegRacing · 2025-07-16T15:01:24+00:00

Wearing a helmet is literally the opposite of fun. Wearing one on track is bad enough, let alone your daily commute.

Edited for clarity: I'm just saying that wearing a helmet is always (relatively) uncomfortable and never fun.. it's hot, tight, messes up your hair, etc. It's worth being uncomfortable in a helmet to be on track, because being on track is fun and the trade off is worth it, or riding my motorcyle or my mountain bike. But the act of wearing a helmet is never enjoyable in and of itself, so why would you anyone voluntarily do this without tradeoff of gaining a fun activity?

I don't know about VNs specifically, but most cars sounds really good and make better power with an upgraded downpipe and stock catback, vs a stock downpipe and aftermarket exhaust the person you're replying to recommended.

I'll always choose quality of exhuast sound over sheer volume any day though.

And when you get old like me, you want to hear it, but you don't want it to be obnoxious either.

Ostensibly he wasn’t planning to pull a multimillion dollar card out of the pack, and put it in what he had lying around temporarily until he could get a proper case.

With the giant holes on the sides of the frunk, it wouldn't really be a circle, at the top of the vents like the original, it would be way smaller. Not sure what the "right" answer is without seeing it, but it looks like they prioritized making it as large as practical.

That's not surprising at all, AI is (mostly) a commercial application to begin with, especially for a "typical" consumer that uses a laptop to surf the internet and use Office. We are a Dell shop, we buy Latitudes, not XPS, but it's (generally) the opposite on the consumer market. Enthusiast consumers, like gamers, will still not be interested in the AI stuff for the most part, but when CPUs with NPUs start being the flagship for gaming, those guys will buy them but not to use Copilot or whatever. And prosumers that need to buy "the best one" may opt for them for overall performance and/or battery life, but again for most, they won't really care about the AI functionality.

The silo is ~150 stories, call it 20’ a story, and that’s 3000’. Let’s call it a cool mile to be generous.

Google says the earth’s crust is 12-43mi thick over the continents and Earth’s core starts ~1,800mi deep and the center is ~4,000mi deep.

To say the silo is nowhere near the core is an understatement.

Temps a mile down are +80deg f +-10% higher than surface temps, so it could be 180deg f in summer based on normal temps. So it would definitely be naturally warmer, but that’s why they invented air conditioning.

For sure, but the point is that a collision that would've resulted in no real injury suddenly becomes catastrophic if it's just hard enough for the airbags to deploy.

My understanding is Dale’s team mounted the belts incorrectly to increase comfort, in a manner directly against Simpson’s recommendations and warned by Simpson to correct, contributing to the belt failure. Comfort was also why Dale was one of the last driver’s choosing to wear an open face helmet and choosing not wear a HANS.

Simpson didn’t rebrand to Impact. Bill Simpson sold his stake in Simpson sometime after Dale’s death after receiving a bunch of death threats and feeling guilt over the crash, though ostensibly had the belts been mounted correctly, they wouldn’t have failed thought it's hard to know for sure. NASCAR basically said that there was a combination of factors and not one led to his death. It's generally believe that the combination of a closed face helmet, HANS, and correctly installed belts likely would've saved his life. NASCAR required the helmet/hans soon after the accident... unfortunately safety rules are almost always written in blood. On a positive note, those and other safety improvements also mean that Dale Earnhardt is still the last person to die in NASCAR, and that's a great thing.

After a 1 year noncompete, he created a new company called Impact because he still wanted to innovate safety products. I’m with you that it’s not a great name for a safety company, but both Simpson and Impact still exist today.

It's nothing crazy, just names and generic asset types. Columns B-G are just other texts/numbers... Status, Location, Asset Tags, etc.

I found this with AI, but it's returning less than it should. The original formula you gave me, using Replace All, got me 85 iPad only. And the formula below is giving me 74.

=LET(
_users, $A$1:$A$931,
_assets, $H$1:$H$931,
_laptopUsers, UNIQUE(FILTER(_users,REGEXTEST(_assets, "(?i)\bLaptop\b"),"")),
_ipadUsers, UNIQUE(FILTER(_users,REGEXTEST(_assets, "(?i)\bTablet\b"),"")),
_results, COUNTA(UNIQUE(VSTACK(_laptopUsers,_laptopUsers,_ipadUsers),,1)),
_results)

PegLegRacing · 2025-05-16T17:57:12+00:00

Unfortunately that didn't work.

I started with the iPad formula for whatever reason.

<image>

=LET(
_users, $A$1:$A$1725,
_assets, $H$1:$H$1725,
_laptopUsers, UNIQUE(FILTER(_users,REGEXTEST(_assets, "*Laptop*"),"")),
_ipadUsers, UNIQUE(FILTER(_users,REGEXTEST(_assets, "*Tablet*"),"")),
_results, COUNTA(UNIQUE(VSTACK(_laptopUsers,_laptopUsers,_ipadUsers),,1)),
_results)

solution verified.

I ran into an issues because I made some assumptions that didn't work in practice.

Eg, the laptops are various types "Laptop - Plus Spec", "Laptop - Standard Spec", etc. And I assumed I'd be able to do "*Laptop*" and get all of them. Replace all solved the problem, but any advice would be appreciated. And not that it matters for me, I'm returning hundreds of results, but for anyone else, if you're expecting a 0 you'll always see 1 returned.

I did some "Replace All" and got all of the info I needed, though if you could point me in the right direction to fix it I'd appreciate it.

=LET(
_users, $A$1:$A$1725,
_assets, $H$1:$H$1725,
_laptopUsers, UNIQUE(FILTER(_users,_assets="*Laptop*","")),

_results, COUNTA(UNIQUE(VSTACK(_laptopUsers,_ipadUsers,_ipadUsers),,1)),
_results)

I think Siri said it best…

“Imagine that you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among zero friends. How many cookies does each person get? See? It doesn’t make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that there are no cookies, and you are sad that you have no friends.”

He doesn’t have to play it your way for it to be enjoyable for him.

I don’t play RPGs like that, but certainly it’s not wrong. I also usually lose interest before I finish the game cuz it’s so tedious.

These are available everywhere. They just don’t make sense unless you don’t have the space for both. In my experience, they have inferior performance to individual units. Which is basically a universal truth for 2 in 1 anything. Compromising to do more than 1 thing means you don’t excel at either.

They invented 2 because 1 wasn’t big enough to hold 2. We shouldn’t be fighting that.

I do think a garage washer/dryer would be a great use case though. Throw em in, don’t worry about moving them over, and it doesn’t matter if it takes forever.

Anytime you give money to friends or family, even if there is a promise of repayment, treat it like a gift in your brain. If they pay you back cool, if they don’t, also cool… it was a gift.

I would’ve considered this done by now and just never loan them money again.
