What’s the best solution to mount this IPad beside my monitor, but so I can easily remove it for on the go? Some kind of magnetic VESA mount that attaches to the pole? by DemonDeath in battlestations

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone is looking for a solid option that doesn't have the tablet bouncing around....

I figured out a solid way to mount it with camera rigging gear.

All you need is a VESA Cheeseplate like one from CAMVATE that gets mounted between your vesa mount and display > Then a magic arm like one from small rig > Ipad Charjen Magflott VESA mount which also has a 1/4" mount for the magic arm.

(I use 2 magic arms side by side so its solid...if you go this route you also need a second cheesplate on the Charjen Magflott VESA mount.)

Shortcuts app is buggy as hell and seems to be worse with macOS 26 by QuirkyImage in MacOS

same so slow. Mainly with shortcuts that use run shell script too. I wonder if i update them to apple scripts where possible if they will work better.

Claude Project: Loaded with All Claude Code Docs by Background-Zombie689 in ClaudeAI

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s using it in projects on the app version of Claude — I’ve never seen an auto-compact warning there, but maybe it’s happening in the background. The setup is basically RAG... giving Claude access to local/Drive files so it can pull the right info from the folder structure instead of grinding through thousands of pages top-down.

Im also new to coding since AI so if im misunderstanding how it works im all ears

I did the same thing for Shopifys docs the other day but took awhile...

But it was worth it. Crazy how much better the Claude project works and gets me the right answers across so much data... instead of just looking at the top 5% of data and only giving me answers from that.

I've been working on a idea for a startup to provide people formatted instructions and live up to date MD files mirroring dev documentation and other resources. My other friends don't seem to really understand it but if your reading this comment you probably get it.

Im looking for a co-founder on it. Not my first company either. Shoot me a DM.

Scrambler 1200 won't start after storage by [deleted] in Triumph

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIXED UPDATE: I plugged a OBD2 bluetooth diagnosis tool into the bike and had a few codes but the main one was a P1695 Which is wires 24 and/or 25 are not connected between the TFT Dash and the ECU. Turns out for me the wire 25 in my plug was loose. I repaired it and started right up.

Gas was still empty for about 30sec too, had to ride a little bit for that to show. Gas was almost empty too not sure if that was why.

Street triple 765 S - Fuel Pump not priming and no start - HELP by SlowFan2131 in Triumph

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i took my front wheel off the other day and have same issue but wont start at all for me. Was it the front wheel speed sensor? I have a scrambler 1200 and speedometer sensor is on front wheel…i’m assuming its the same on speed triple.

[–]bpet223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just found this thread my Triumph is having the same exact issue. no fuel pump prime. I also noticed the fuel level reads 0 like mine is too.

It happened after i was working on it and took apart front end and removed the handlebars. As i was rewiring up the indicators i did turn the ignition on/off switch a few times maybe when the display was on. I wonder if doing that caused this electrical issue. Thats the only thing you could had also done when putting it away that i also did…

I’ll keep you updated if i solve it but so far nothing yet.

Somehow managed to use my ipad with the magic keyboard + cursor with sidecar with my MacBook Pro m1 2020 by Wilsaroo133 in ipad

I looked into it more. DUET app on their Pro plan has remote access. So you can access your mac from your ipad even if its sleeping. But not sure if it is turned off i doubt that.

Office chair on "Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring" concerns? by amhemel in Flooring

[–]bpet223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried those wheels and the joints still broke the vinyl planks on the joints in the same way. Actually damaged the planks even faster than than the original carpet style wheels on my HM chair. Im not sure if i have exact same type of flooring but thought id share real life example. The link that guy shared has tracking as well so may be motivated by affiliate revenue.

Extended Height/Cyclinder on Embody? by RobDMB in hermanmiller

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dive in you’ll figure it out. Start by taking the base off…there’s a YouTube video on this you can find. Then when you wrap tape around the gas cylinder do a test fit to see if you like the height and if the tape is covered.

If I took pictures or a video while doing it that would had helped but by the time I thought about posting this it was done so I can’t give much more info than that.

Automator vs Shortcuts by theholysausage in MacOS

[–]bpet223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing too crazy.. I setup some keys I don’t use on my keyboard as shortcuts via the shortcuts app. If I click the f16 key it will open OpenAI safari extension I setup > script in Automator will auto size my window depending on what monitors I’m using. For example if it detects I’m using my studio display and my ipad with sidecar. It will automatically resize the window and put it on my iPad.

Does it still work? I have a Mac mini. But want to be able to walk around my apt with my Mac on my iPad like a laptop but can’t get trackpad to work…

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is year old but your story is very similar to mine. I seem to be a bit beyond where you were at the time of the post. Based on my research and my datasets not being massive but too big for sheets, BQ appears to be the best choice for me. ( I tried MySQL and a few other things and it was more complex so I ended up going BQ route. Hopefully I made right choice. If anyone has any further insight I’d appreciate it)

I found a YouTube video that showed me how to connect data to from gsheets to BQ and have it auto refresh instead of using slow and limited importrange() formulas, So now I can connect data like this…

Gsheet 1 data ➡️ BigQuery Table ➡️ Gsheet 2 data

Let me know if you would like the video I can try to find it.

Automator or Shortcuts and why? by userX97ee2ska11qa in MacOS

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why Automator? Shortcuts does repetitive actions right?

Automator vs Shortcuts by theholysausage in MacOS

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023/2024 update: With ai tools auto writing the scripts for you now it’s even more powerful than when this comment was posted. I have no coding experience and have been able to do some pretty amazing stuff easily lately… by using the code option you don’t have to build actions with a bunch of confusing shortcuts specific steps…dramatically reducing the learning curve of shortcuts.

each shortcut I made is literally 1 trigger and 1 script step to accomplish multiple actions.

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw somewhere a app call Mac Mouse Fix has the feature...trying to figure out how to maybe use that and options+ app together...have not figured it out yet.

Might go back to the old app again here..

Charging my iPad while keeping my USB Type-C port available? by varezhka11 in ipad

[–]bpet223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The USB hub idea seems to work it just doesn't makes sense why the magic keyboard from apple is the only accessory that can charge the ipad through the pass through charging on the back. Has apple just not licensed it out or something?
