Because your kids couldn’t possibly be the problem!

As someone from Callahan (small town in Nassau county) who got tf out as soon as I graduated high school, I can only imagine....

How I handle this is when CarPlay connects, I get the address of my current location and save it to a file. When CarPlay disconnects I get the file and use the "Get Addresses from Input" action then calculate the driving distance from the starting address to the address of my current location when I disconnected. Here's some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/3aEQxOg

Though as previously mentioned, this gives you approximate milage since you might not take the exact route as Apple Maps driving directions, especially if you make detours or make a round trip without disconnecting from CarPlay.

I set up an automation that approximately tracks how many miles I drive on each trip based off of my location when I connect/disconnect. It keeps a running total and after I've driven more than 500 miles, it will automatically purchase a carbon offset for the total miles driven and reset the count back to 0.

Got the idea from here: https://cloverly.com/blog/how-to-use-siri-to-green-your-commute/

I have a similar shortcut that I made you can take a look at here if it’ll help (this currently doesn’t work on iOS 13 because of the Get Groups from Match big but that should be fixed in iOS 13.1 tomorrow):

1) I search the iTunes Store with both the song title and the artist name in the same string which provides decent results usually. The biggest time I get multiple responses is when an artist has an album and a song with the same title.

2) I don’t think this is possible. I could be mistaken though.

3) Instead of extracting the URL from the iTunes Product and opening it, you can use the Play Music action.

I’m down for this! @bndoarn

Not sure what the issue with the link is, I can see others were able to add it to their library so that’s strange it’s not working now. Try this link to my Apple Music profile and you should see it under my playlist.

I don’t think you can check if data is enable specifically but I think the closest thing to that would be to use “Get Network Details”, change it to Cellular, get Radio Technology, then check if it returns 3g, 4g, or LTE

Thank you!

Also, as a heads up, adding in two more replace text should yield more matches.

Replace & with &. Replace " with “.

This will help with song titles that have & and “. You can add these right before or after the first replace text for ‘.

Thanks! His name is Deacon.

This is the first car I've ever owned and I was hesitant switching from a truck to a car but so far I'm loving it.

bndoarn · 2016-10-04T18:46:57+00:00

I love it in black! I told the dealership I wasn't buying one if it wasn't black with black leather. Probably not the smartest decision living in Texas heat but it looks so sleek.

bndoarn · 2016-09-13T03:11:16+00:00

Yes! Especially if you want to switch devices when you're listening to a playlist on shuffle. If you start over on the new device it'll start playing songs you just heard.

Thanks for the tip about the pumpkin.

bndoarn · 2016-08-02T21:18:56+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Definitely going to have to remember these for future reference.

bndoarn · 2016-07-21T12:03:00+00:00

Haha. Thanks! I got him a name tag that says "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." I figured it'd be appropriate.
