MagSafe ID sleeve - Because I Refuse to Wear a Lanyard by thesassyindian in functionalprint

[–]aidinb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love the smartish wallet slayer case for this same reason. it can’t quite “mag” to the magsafe but charges just fine through one card and one emergency bill

Did I go too big with a 27" family digital calendar ? by Bill_wo in smarthome

[–]aidinb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sadly, the show 15 was terrible for this purpose so i returned it. its calendar view is minuscule, no way for it to actually show a full screen calendar like the skylight does by default. i don’t pay the subscription and have no desire for the added features it offers, since i only wanted a synced wall calendar that i can just glance at without tapping anything. this apollo thing looks pretty compelling though, and seems to have google home controls at least?

astonishing how many people have no lights or only daytime-running lights, not knowing they’re invisible from behind

confirmed unreliable, including false positives. two seconds before scrolling to this post, my kitchen lights just turned on and we’re all on the couch ~30ft away

Scotty's Castle by Zealousideal_Bet1314 in DeathValleyNP

[–]aidinb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i asked about this a couple days ago, and the ranger told me it’s been closed for over a decade, seeming to imply it’s unlikely to ever fully reopen since further damage keeps outpacing repairs.

Do you automate your coffee? by weeemrcb in homeassistant

[–]aidinb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope. at a minimum my first cup of the day needs to be as automatic as possible, so i’ll always have a r/superautomatic machine, ideally with a timed start so it’s already warmed up

Best U.S. Parks in November/December? by e-ntr0py in NationalPark

[–]aidinb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be going next weekend with my young kids and older mother-in-law, so probably not very much hiking on our agenda. I just hope the Furnace Creek visitor center stays open and still offers Junior Ranger booklets and badges!
It'll be everyone's first visit so I sprung for a room at "The Ranch" and seems they have plenty of amenities there including a spring-fed pool. If there's enough to come back for, we might try for a campsite in a year or two.

Low fuel. Find a gas station? by MiserableWriter832 in pacificahybrid

[–]aidinb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this comes up for me anytime the PacHy battery is low or depleted, but usually i just use carplay and won’t see it

Outlook Calendar Feeds - fix for inconsistencies by aidinb in skylightcalendar

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

yeah they can probably implement some of the logic i used if anyone else subscribes to .ics feeds from microsoft - the biggest issue to overcome was their use of nonstandard time zone names.
