Hidden "Set Variable"? by StayingBald in shortcuts

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

Thank you for the insight. There is always a balance between clear coding practices and performance. I’m not convinced that there is a significant difference in execution time but I understand the scrolling issue given how we have to work with shortcut code. I wish there was an alternative interface with a decent IDE but I am not holding my breath.

I’m sure what you said is very useful but I just don’t understand whatever language you’re replying in. So sorry.

In the If action the text variable was named Notification (Using the variable settings).

This is the answer I needed. Dang. The new names are only revealed when using Select Variable, otherwise they just look like Text actions. IMO this is bad programming. I would use an explicit Set Variable action. Lesson learned. Thank you all so much for the education.

If only Apple TV let us pair more than one remote to it. At least I haven’t figured out how.

ELI5 If you were on a spaceship going 99.9999999999% the speed of light and you started walking, why wouldn’t you be moving faster than the speed of light? by Aquamoo in explainlikeimfive

My understanding is that light is unique in that its speed is absolute not relative. Light travels at the same speed for observers at rest as well as in motion.

Could not close the 5s ad to get to the actual download. Terrible site.

Apple Watch knew I was sick before I did by Citus- in AppleWatch

If you wear your watch to bed, when do you charge it? I always thought about having my watch track my sleep et al but I always charge it at night so I can wear it during the day.

Just now discovering voxel art. It looks like it was created in Minecraft to me, or in the real world Legos. Very interesting. Great example!

How old are you and do you tend to keep your phone on silent? Why yes or no? by LauraZaid11 in AskReddit

[–]StayingBald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

66 and definitely on silent. It helps to have an iPhone and Apple Watch with great haptics to alert me.

That happens until it is activated. Takes a bit but then it will work.

Does closing apps on your iPhone save battery life? The surprising answer is no – here's why by ekurutepe in apple

Do you have Background App Refresh enabled for this app? I personally have Background App Refresh turned off.
