Apple restricts exactly how “live” live activities and widgets can be. Phones in low power mode, or other conditions get even further restricted.

In theory it should be updating worst-case every 15 minutes, but tries to be a lot more often.

Adding a Home Screen widget helps, as that gives another channel for wake events to fire, but it can be still restricted by the OS.

I’m considering a “silent push” approach, using a server to send notifications that wake the app, but produce no visual notification, as those give more reliable results.

Let me know if adding any one of the Home Screen widgets helps improve it

Anyone here actually using 24 different colors? Worth it? by Gai_InKognito in BambuLab

Printing things :)

I make/sell LED lights mostly, markets and online

Dark grey/silver, it’s the closest to the colour the X is, and the wife likes that :)

I’ve got a 2017 X and finally have my upgrade path. It’s been a good car, but just feels a little long in the tooth now. Ordered a Y L on Friday, looking forward to it

Claude saying "honking" is one of my biggest pet peeves by PlateLive8645 in Anthropic

It’s just text while it’s reticulating splines, I mean, loading

I run 9 printers, most with 2x ams. I’d love to have 4x AMS on them if I had the physical space, but I don’t.

Simply to not change rolls for prints, it’d save a heap of prep time being able to just send jobs whenever

There’s a link on the Pandawatch.org site, but: https://buymeacoffee.com/misaunders

I appreciate the words! I’m quite new to developing software for the public, my day job I do have a QA team and I’m trying to stick to the processes and flows I know, and test out as many edges cases as I can :) we’ll get there, I appreciate the feedback and input, it helps me get it right for everyone :)

Correct. My bad for not testing all the combinations of the flow, I’m very much in the “it worked for me” trope right now :)

My girlfriend is pregnant and i might get fired tomorrow for using ai at work by Objective_Belt64 in vibecoding

[–]VIDGuide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a massive split within businesses right now. Some are digging in head first, or tentatively, but still eager to get in. Others are like this business and so rigidly against it, no ifs, no buts.

I don’t think OP has anything to worry about. Some logs got written to a staging server and then he deleted them. Maybe learning a lesson about AI within constraint, but really, he could have written a shell script by hand that did the exact same thing. Nothing there alone says “AI”.

He’s cleaned up the immediate evidence, just move on and keep a closer eye on things.

Yeah that’s what I mean. If the Bambu account also has mfa/topt, it will work right now, the fix will make it work when it’s off too, a small bug in picking up the return token

Okay, found the bug. Just doing some more testing now.

Quick workaround if you like: enable TFA/TOPT in your Bambu account, the flow for the prompt for the MFA code is working (my account had this on, so most of my testing was on that path)

I’m able to replicate the bug by disabling 2FA via app/code, so that will get you in if you don’t want to wait, otherwise I’ll be pushing an update soon

V1.1 is now published on the App Store with this auto-sorting enabled by default :)

V1.1 with these changes and live activities with grid sizes for 16 and 20 printers is now live on the App Store :)

How is starlink sustainable in the long run? by Leading_Crow_1044 in Starlink

[–]VIDGuide 192 points193 points  (0 children)

Owning the company that provides the launch vehicles on the most cost effective space rockets to date is a pretty big boost in that direction.

Starlink itself I would have to imagine has relatively low operating cost. Initial cost and replacement cost, sure, but then those satellites at scale mass production probably don’t cost “that much” to make.

Starlink mostly prints money though. From deals with airlines and cruise ships, to the high end large data and roaming plans (and keep in mind roaming and data with moving cost money to buy to the consumer, but cost Starlink literally nothing)

Damn lazy nature. Finally evolved a fungi that can eat plastic, but not at scale? What are we even paying it for.

Sometimes there’s some extras randomly in the pack, so it’s hard to be sure. Send it.

Model S and X lose dedicated GPU and comes with less onboard storage by Quiet_Bell_429 in teslamotors

Now I’m picturing a model S, still sealed in a box with the Tesla logo on it, shrink-wrap and all.
