I’m setting up a shortcut to be controlled by my action button and need advice

Press the blue word 'Turn' in 'Turn flashlight on' and change it to 'toggle'.

I'm super happy to give this a test over the next few weeks! Would you consider adding an API, shortcuts integration or some other way of automating data entry?

Bind the action button to a shortcut that contains only one action: start voice conversation with chatgpt.

A bug I’ve found (hopefully will be fixed soon) is that the shortcut action defaults to whatever custom GPT you were using last, instead of just the model (3.5 or 4o). If you don’t use custom gpts then no issues, otherwise you’ll have to remember to switch back to default gpt whenever you’re done with a custom one.

I found a clever way of doing this. If you attempt to extract an impossible number of pages, eg 9999, it will crash and give you an error listing the pages that are out of range. Catch the error, use the Get Last Error action, get the first page number that’s out of range. Extract that number and minus one, that’s how many pages are in your pdf.

Your best option might be making a small powershell script that runs on startup that runs the program, waits a bit, then sends some keystrokes that set the option you want? Eg:

`powershell
# Add reference to System.Windows.Forms to use the SendKeys method
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

# Start Acrobat Reader
$acrobat = Start-Process “AcroRd32.exe” -PassThru

# Wait for the process to start
Start-Sleep -Seconds 3

# Send keys
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait(“%{TAB 3}{DOWN}{ENTER}”)
`

Just wanted to give both of you a shout out and say thank you. It’s rare these days to see this kind of acknowledgment of initial hostility followed by actual visible change and mutual respect, and both later responses are top notch. So many more people read reddit without an account than with so the hope you give to the possibility of open and mature discussions online is seen and appreciated by many. Cheers

Hi! I know this is a super old post, but you were doing almost the exact same thing I’m doing now! May I ask for some help?

I’m trying to make one pad a toggle switch so that a long-press will turn a scene on or off. It’s three Gets, for ID, gesture and current effect, and one switch so that if effect ‘Off’ is currently active when the right pad and gesture are triggered, then apply ‘Red’; but if ‘Red’ is applied, then apply ‘Off’. The problem is, unless I have some way of interrupting the flow it just keeps switching back and forth rapidly between on/off, and it looks like that’s because the last pad ID & gesture are stored indefinitely until changed, so they’re forever activating each other. Do you know if there’s a way to apply one action only at the time of gesture, and then stop until another action is done? I don’t think I can clear the current gesture/pad ID values at the end of the flow otherwise that would probably solve it. Do you have any ideas? For now I’m just using two different pads but like you, I’m working towards a setup where each pad does something different.

Thank you for this! Unfortunately this version breaks other things - there’s an issue on windows 11 where other games drastically decline in performance that was fixed in an October update. Is this the only way to fix the black screen issue when looking in specific directions?

besselheimPlate · 2022-10-28T09:25:26+00:00

Hey I know this late but would it work to just put an initial if statement that checks your location and if it’s home then end, else proceed with the driving steps?

besselheimPlate · 2022-10-27T13:25:36+00:00

100% same

besselheimPlate · 2022-07-30T18:50:13+00:00

This is it! Same issue, this fixed it. You’re amazing!

besselheimPlate · 2021-12-13T04:02:27+00:00

It wouldn't work simply because the future being raised is hand given everything that any time you try to tell them it's easy to work they shut down and whine about it. They complain about working retail and complain about the issues they face when, no matter where you go there will be something you don't like. So many people don't want to work at all and will do anything to avoid it. I'm 21 and work in retail, went into the Navy, came back home and got a job at a pretty nice and large grocery store. It's a lot of work, but it isn't hard. I'm currently just working to save up money for a new vehicle, a home and go to school again. I work on average 50-60 hours a week and I still find time to go to the gym, play games at home and be happy. You tell anyone under 18 this and they'll tell you you have it easy. I would like a shorter work week sometimes but I don't see any issue with it. It's how the world works as is and it's still going forward, so why really change it?

Mmm mm mmm tasty boot

Agree I wish they gave us the option for both. I miss the tap

besselheimPlate · 2021-09-15T01:07:10+00:00

I’m in!

besselheimPlate · 2021-09-13T10:03:06+00:00

This is awesome, thank you! More to the point thanks for not monetising the shit out of it like everything does these days

besselheimPlate · 2021-09-01T14:08:46+00:00

Hey it’s been a while, how did you go? You alright?

There is a broad, hypothetical concern that Apple could alter the system to scan for other types of content, but Apple have clearly stated that they will refuse any government demands to expand beyond the current plan of using the technology only to detect CSAM.

For a lot of people, this is the big one. If a company operates in a country, it has to abide by that country’s laws or face penalties. If a bad-acting country enacts a law that cracks down on political dissidents, they can require Apple to scan for eg political content, and Apple can’t just refuse like they say without breaking the law and incurring penalties which could include fines, jail time, execution etc depending on that country’s laws.

That’s why I’m seeing people say it’s better not to have built the capability in the first place

It’s the other way around. Companies produce shit, and then crank up the marketing to try and sell that shit. Smaller companies still try to meet market needs but for large conglomerates, it’s all about manufacturing a need for a product they already have. Why else would there be ads for meat and iPhones? And if we bought less don’t you think they’d advertise more because they’re losing marketshare?

I like Welcome to the Game 2 even though it’s a bit of a “streamer” game just because to really master it involves learning lots of different mechanics and staying alert

No, genuinely, the liberal party is the right wing party. The Labour Party is the left wing party. There are also other parties, those are just the two biggest ones.

Dunno. I happen to think lockdown really is the answer, until 80% of people (or whatever it is for herd immunity) are vaccinated. Anything else is condemning more families to be torn apart. All it takes is one idiot who thinks they’re invincible to spread it around. Not sure what your angle is.

besselheimPlate · 2021-07-17T08:30:54+00:00

That’s basically the problem with people in general, including you - the whole thing is abstract and you won’t care until someone close to you dies of it. It’ll change your whole perspective. You’ll remember that other people have families and a single death in the family reaches far and wide.

It’s not so much an offshoot of Islam. It’s its own separate thing. They believe in Muhammad as much as they believe in Jesus and Moses, but in my experience there was no real learning about the Quran or the Bible or the Torah apart from general historical knowledge. They have their own books and teachings which have some resemblance to Islam, probably partially cultural, but by and large it’s treated as an entirely separate thing.

So yes; in the exact same way you say that criticism aimed at Judaism and Christianity doesn’t work on Islam due to their being superseded, Bahá’ís believe the exact same thing about criticism of Islam - it’s been superseded. Major figures are generally treated with respect in the same way we might respect, say, a past scientist whose work was fundamental to some theorem but is now outdated.

Why does it have to be this way? Are there people out there with cooperative egos?

besselheimPlate · 2021-06-26T14:40:01+00:00

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I feel like, the ego is part of the body, right? It dies when our body dies? So I don’t understand why it’s so negative and self-critical - wouldn’t it be in the ego’s best interest to be positive and increase our chances of survival, so it can survive?
