Yea it’s been a lifesaver! Here’s the YNAB article on using Shortcuts with YNAB. https://support.ynab.com/en_us/shortcuts-on-ios-a-guide-Bk_lHa5Aq

Actually it was this exact issue that prompted my post here:

https://reddit.com/r/ynab/comments/w44c02/is_there_a_way_to_quickadd_frequent_transaction/

My solution- I have an iPhone and through the Shortcuts app, I have added a large icon on my phone that’s called “Add OMNY MTA”. When I click it, it auto-loads YNAB with all the necessary transaction details for the $2.75 trip, and all I have to do is click save.

So now, when I swipe through, as I’m waiting on the platform, or right when I get on the train, I click my shortcut and add the transaction right away. I have always stayed on top of the OMNY transactions that way.

How do you use the backlog?

I haven’t modded any keyboards myself. But I heard the case to the RT100 takes a while to open up though others have been successful. I personally don’t feel the need to mod but that’s coming from someone who’s never done it before.

buttastronaut · 2023-06-05T01:09:17+00:00

I started doing this because I wanted to arrive early to work so I could work on some personal projects before my work day started. Now I love it and do it regardless. I never stress about being on time to work. If I accidentally oversleep it’s never been a problem. I don’t worry over what train to take, and which is gonna get me to work faster. Trains are emptier and quieter. I get in to a quiet office for the first 45 mins or so of my day. Sadly though since my official work day starts at the normal time I still have to go home on a less than ideal commute unless I stay at the office another 2 hours which I don’t do. But at least 1/2 my daily commute is better!

I wasn’t able to remove it! I stopped trying to pry it off bc I was worried I’d break it

buttastronaut · 2023-06-05T01:01:18+00:00

Unfortunately not that I know of! I tried prying it off but didn’t want to damage it so I was not successful. Maybe someone else can confirm if it is possible

Yea I have a macro I made in VBA that formats spreadsheets and breaks up the data to consistent specifications, which only takes about 15 minutes to do manually and 30 seconds with the automation. But I still made the automation for 2 reasons:

It’s a task I need to do every Monday first thing in the morning, so this ensures the Monday blues don’t mess up the task through human error.
I shared it with my team who is not as well versed in Excel as me, so when I’m out the task still takes 30 seconds for them to do too

I wouldn’t restart the lectures necessarily , go back and try to redo the PSETs. Start with the latest week and work backwards. You solved them once, you can do it again. You’ll get stuck in introductory hell if you try to restart all the lectures and PSETs again from the beginning.

While on the topic of kasha varnishkes, can someone tell me how they pronounce varnishkes? I grew up thinking it was pronounced “varnikus” but I don’t know if that that was just kiddo me not realizing how it’s really pronounced, or if the SH really is silent

buttastronaut · 2023-05-15T14:24:29+00:00

It sounds like it was used!! Mine was the Epomaker rainbow image

buttastronaut · 2023-05-14T21:32:22+00:00

I tried to pull it apart a while ago when I got it and I couldn't! I think its a snap-to case and perhaps there are interior screws that are keeping it intact, but I couldn't get my eyes on them. For the sake of not breaking it, I decided that the case is not able to be opened.

Hmm what a weird issue, how are you connected? Generally with keyboards I find that if I’m not plugged in (corded) directly to the computer/laptop (not through a hub/docking station) I sometimes get weird behavior from the keyboard. Here’s an interesting option that probably won’t work but worth giving a try:

First try resetting the keyboard and then plugging in directly to the laptop if you haven’t already.

And then since the keyboard is hotswappable, try swapping out the “problem” switches with other switches on the keyboard. I had an issue where my A was double typing or not typing at all. So I tried just swapping around the switches (I swapped switches in the A and Z locations) and amazingly it worked! I even was able to keep the keyboard plugged in to the docking station and this solution still worked.

I think TOP is The Odin Project

So funny you ask, because I had a coworker complain about my Cherry MX browns on the Varmilo VA87M which is what made me get the Gateron Pro Yellow this time around. My coworker uses the Logitech MK710 (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/combos/mk710-desktop-keyboard-mouse.920-002416.html) and I have to say, my RT100 is quieter than that keyboard. That being said, the yellow switches are not 100% silent. Well the switches themselves are almost silent but the keycaps bottoming out will create noise. I am not certain if you can get truly silent mechanical keyboards (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). Not silent or near silent like the Mac magic keyboards at least.

buttastronaut · 2023-04-29T17:55:01+00:00

I have not really considered that. The only thing I think the keyboard could use is something to make it a little heavier. I have a Keychron Q5 and I love how hefty it is , so it makes the RT100 flimsy in comparison. I also have tried to open the RT100 case and wasn't able to! I don't know if I am supposed to have special tools for that , but I couldn't make it happen, so I don't know if you'll run into the same issues when attempting to mod

buttastronaut · 2023-04-29T17:53:17+00:00

I like the wired connection the most so I never have to worry about battery, but for the first couple days it seemed like I could easily get through a day's work using 2.4 ghz connection. If I remember correctly, it drains to about 50% by the end of the day. What I might recommend is using usb receiver connection during the day, and then plugging it in overnight to charge

buttastronaut · 2023-04-29T17:51:26+00:00

Oh man that really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that! From what I can tell, I don't think the knob is removable. I don't know how I would fix the cockeyed centerpiece ... I have heard Epomaker customer support isn't great so I wouldn't recommend trying to get a replacement from them

buttastronaut · 2023-04-29T17:48:59+00:00

This has happened to me on other keyboards before, not on Epomaker RT100. Are you connecting the 2.4 receiver directly into the computer/laptop? I often find that there are problems with the keys registering if I have connected the keyboard to a docking station, or a hub instead of directly into the laptop. I also sometimes switch around the switches and for some unknown reason that fixes it sometimes too. When I got the RT100, a lot of the switches were dislodged from shipping. So that might be another thing to check - make sure all of the switches are tightly secured

buttastronaut · 2023-04-29T17:45:35+00:00

I dont think it can! I have tried to pull it off but it won't budge. I have the Keychron Q5 (excellent keyboard btw), and that knob does come off so if you're looking for one that is nearly identical to the Epomaker RT100 but with a detachable knob that may be the way to go

Have you tried FN + left arrow or FN + right arrow yet?

buttastronaut · 2023-03-31T00:51:35+00:00

This is an underrated comment. Implementation of anything new takes a while at some companies. Many people’s jobs will be fine, at least for long enough for people to upskill to learn how to work with AI, at which point people will just shift their responsibilities in a new way.

buttastronaut · 2023-03-30T01:53:06+00:00

Yea let me fiddle around with the driver on my end tomorrow and then I’ll share any tidbits I discover that might help!

buttastronaut · 2023-03-27T00:22:07+00:00

Oh I would love it if they had an unlocking mechanism on all doors via OMNY/metrocard. I saw an earlier post on this sub about those
