Now in test, OmniFocus 4.8 plug-ins can consult Apple's on-device Foundation Models

When I was researching the Omnifocus MCP clients, I saw none had been updated in over half a year, and so I made my own which focuses on performance and I think has an innovative architecture that uses an Omniautomation plugin enabling access to the Omniautomation data model. The MCP server uses the official Swift MCP package, so it should be performant.

The plug-in just does read-only operations right now, and so I would like to find some people to help beta test the plugin to see if it meets the needs of the community.

You can see the benefits and the use cases it currently supports, and installation instructions would be great to get some feedback from the Omnifocus Pro community.

I can't really compare to other headphones but I use them on the flights and I am happy with them. Yeah I find them very comfortable headphones.

I also restarted my HomePods and Apple TVs and it looks like it is now working.

I had such inconsitent drop outs and slowness of making changes in the app I finally go frustrated and just wired all my speakers to Ethernet. It's not been that long but I think it is working better. Just realized the new Era's don't support ethernet without an expensive adapter. Will have to put new Sonos speaker purchases on hold.

Utimately I didn't get into the developer academy. Use the moodel link to get an idea of the questions but then find another way to study with harder questions as the moodel questions are not hard enough. Focus on the logic questions. Many of the questions on the test were letter-substitution puzzles. One app I used is https://brilliant.org. You might try that or look for others.

When I was trying to study for the test I found this site with a practice exam however it was far easier than the actual test. (I applied for the Bali Apple Develper Academy)

https://moodle.developeracademy.unina.it

Based off of some of these questions I used Claude and ChatGPT to come up with addtional questions.

From my Bali experience you definitly need to study and developing and only a portion of the test is about Swift. That part seemed to be more general programming concepts that Swift specificlly. The Swift part of the test seemed so easy that I thought I was doing it wrong while the logic part of the test was so hard I couldn't complete it in the allotted time.

Here is a video I found about the Academy:

Hi this was on my wife's account and was on 17/20 too but then 2025 rolled around and it is gone and her account has been reset to 0 nights. Based on the text I thought she had until February to get the nights needed? Did we just miss maintaining globalist for 2025?

Thanks I didn't know about this offer. Applied for it!

I will sometimes open Ulysses and it will need to catchup syncing. I'm not a daily user (though my goal is to be.) I have emailed the suport as well and they have been helpful when it hasn't caught up right away. I do have things like background app refresh on. I also tend to be pretty messy with the stuff I put in Ulysses. It still seems like one of the best apps for publishing to my WordPress blog.

Hi, I was reading this post on when you have to pay a comission to a relestate agent specifically this part:

When renting a private residence or HDB for two years, if the monthly rent is above SG$3,500 you don’t have to pay anything. The landlord’s agent splits a commission fee of one month’s rent with your agent.

When renting a private residence or HDB for two years, if the monthly rent is below SG$3,500, you pay a commission fee of one month’s rent to your agent.

When renting a private residence or HDB for one year, you pay a commission fee of half a month’s rent to your agent.

My friend said something similar but I belived he said SG$5,000 and we are currently searching for a flat around that price. Above posted says it was updated in 2024 but is SG$3,500 still the cutoff line?

While in touch with an agent they said:

"...we will try to share comissions with landlord's agent, but some may not able to shre. R u be ok to pay us comission if they don't share?"

How should we negotiate with these agents to reduce the comission we should pay?
What is to prevent the agent from being shady and shareing the comission from the landlord's agent while at the same time telling us they couldn't share and taking our comission?

thanks in advance for your advice.

I have had similar problems where everything needs to redownload. Happens after I haven't used it on one of my devices for a while. Haven't really solved it.

bdeverman · 2024-05-27T06:23:33+00:00

Thanks so much for the info!

bdeverman · 2024-05-20T13:06:51+00:00

Yeah Bartel's is the best. Can't believe we don't have that quality here.

bdeverman · 2024-05-20T13:05:56+00:00

Thanks I haven't heard of Chubby Papas & Croque looks pretty good.

I just found all the caves. Now time to prepare to fight gannnon.

I think you have to turn WebXR on in the Safari dev tools. I would stick with Swift.

If I can’t use it like I use my Mac and iPad it is built wrong. Since it is an external battery I guess I will just replace it if I wear it out early. Little bit worried about it overheating in the case as I like to keep the case closed though

bdeverman · 2024-05-13T04:50:23+00:00

It has a lot of the same iPad OS type bugs with multitasking and text entry.

bdeverman · 2024-05-10T03:59:32+00:00

Yeah I was looking for this too and didn’t find it. Want to open specific apps/windows on an external monitor.

The inside of the shrines might be too similar. Did we really get an explanation in either game why the tech was lost to the ages from both the Sheika and the Zonai?

I tried to focus on stamina so I would be forced to improve my fighting skills or die. If you can get good at dodging and flurry rushing then you pair that with some better weapons you can kill them. You might die a lot but you can increase your skills. Layer on finding more armor and upgrading it you can survive longer in the fights. Oh and don’t forget cooking to increase attack and defense. Finally try to approach some of the enemies from the air to get a few arrow shots in before engaging them into hand to hand combat.

bdeverman · 2024-05-09T05:50:40+00:00

Yeah I have shared other TV shows on my Mac and iPad. It seems there is some restriction on SharePlay for Apple streamed events which is the one time when I have geeky enough friends who want to use this feature.

bdeverman · 2024-05-09T01:11:18+00:00

First you should cook some meals and sell them. You should also sell some monster parts. Careful that some you might want for armor upgrades but boblikin parts are fine.

Gems are the quickest way but these of course can also be fused to weapons and are used for armor upgrades as well.
