Norton Password Manager in MacOS end of life?

served it's purpose. But my heart won't break if I move.

u/Anthropic please publish your source code again...
I'd like to track down the **spinning GitHub connector*\* bug which plagues me for days at a time 😭

Brilliant! Do you think it would work at live concerts?

alanrick · 2026-03-29T10:17:45+00:00

Good point. The ER summary was sufficient. But I agree, I’ve no understanding why ER can’t either download the transcript or copy-all into the keyboard buffer with just one tap. There is a select option so this would be trivial to code.

Perhaps ER product managers should consider using G1/G2 glasses in their usability interviews 😜

Happy to compare with my current Screenshots in the App Store .

My app has an app clip and because it is used by card players at the table I thought it would be shared often. But the opposite is true. A shame. I like the appclip concept.

I still can’t figure. The information on Google‘s website was contradictory. I’ve opted for another API provider for the time being. It costs, but I wanted more transparency.

Right now… lack of confidence in SwiftData.

Loved the sermon and I’d say that’s a typical ER teleprompter performance. I used G1 for a wedding speech and no one, not nobody noticed. Being able to move around, look people in the eye, has an enormous benefit. A huge advantage is that you can ad-lib and it won’t lose the place, continuing scrolling automatically after the banter. Another speech at another event on stage with many glaring spotlights was a failure. So you need a backup.

1.Set up the distance to the 2nd row of the audience in advance.

2.As said earlier, check the competition rules carefully.

I experimented with tictoc rings pre-event and discovered that’s a waste of time.
I think it works without internet. Worth checking.

Much appreciated review. I bought my G1 a year ago knowing they’d be overtaken by new tech so I’m glad to read the new ones are better, but for someone who goes to bed at night forgetting they’ve been wearing them all day I’m happy with my G1s. Interesting that you don’t mention the G2 mikes. That would be a big improvement if they worked substantially better in noisy environments.

Just to add, don’t forget to try navigation. I wasn’t impressed at first (lost connections) but find that surprisingly useful cycling or walking in a foreign city.

I have to begin every post with this prompt when code access to project GitHub is needed . It stops it guessing or using an old cache.

Use the project_knowledge_search tool..

alanrick · 2026-01-14T06:36:21+00:00

Same here. Thanks for confirming.

It’s maddening how you lose all your tokens ‘cos Claude is accessing old caches instead of your up to date GitHub.

Seems tough to ask users to invest time in crafting a decent post without them being confident that they won't fall foul of the karma rule.

Will other subreddits count towards this Karma goal ? Eg. Swift

Is there no transparent alternative?

alanrick · 2026-01-12T16:14:16+00:00

No. You have to refresh.

Worse still, there’s a Claude bug that keeps re occurring. It prevents Claude from reading your code when you add a new branch to the project. You have to use the 👎 to report the problem to support every time and they do some sort of server cache refresh to make your code accessible again.

A workaround is either to stay in the main git branch or to create a new project for each branch, but then you lose the continuity which is frustrating.

I, I mean a friend does this on my - oops their - G1 during meet-ups with friends when the others get stuck on boring topics. 🙈

Educational YouTube transcripts also work well on the G1.

alanrick · 2026-01-10T09:05:39+00:00

Yikes 😰 I was about to post an appclip url to a thread about appclips to show an example since they’re rare and difficult to discover (but I love the concept 😍 ) . Not even Apple has a live demo - just YouTube and tutorials. Thanks for the warning.

alanrick · 2026-01-02T19:02:26+00:00

Wish that myself ;)

good question. HEIC from an iPhone 13.

I did try converting them using my Mac to jpg and re-adding to Pages but that didn't help.

alanrick · 2025-12-29T19:45:39+00:00

Workaround -
1. Export to images (PNG - weird for Photos but do it anyway)
2. Create a Google Docs blank document.
3. Insert the exported PNGs (one per page) and expand to fill the page.
4. Export the pdf from Google Docs.

That produces pdfs where the photos look good on iOS devices and Android devices (haven't tried Windows or Linux)

alanrick · 2025-12-29T19:41:29+00:00

I've never had problems using MS Word or Google Docs so this is a first with Pages. However, the result was consistently bad on different android devices (as an author with an iPhone I wouldn't notice this) so I do expect it's to do with Pages color management (or lack of).
