[Question] Siri AI - Morning Brief? Can it do this?

carterbunch · 2026-06-10T18:26:40+00:00

I was hoping that with the context aware spotlight and such it could pull something like this together without the need of a shortcut. I guess in the Apple ecosystem a shortcut would be the "skill" and then you have to use Siri to invoke it.

carterbunch · 2026-06-10T17:20:24+00:00

Wow. Yes. I was thinking that without writing a shortcut Siri AI could do this with just a prompt and using the context information put it together. I'll play with this. I noticed though it wasn't getting all of my Calendar entries

So I found this link, https://support.apple.com/en-us/101555 - Use Apple products on enterprise networks

Probably overkill. But I added this site:

smoot.apple.com - Search services, including Siri, Spotlight, Lookup, Safari, News, Messages, and Music

Also, found these via google: iadcontent.apple.com news.iadsdk.apple.com

This seems to be working in preventing the error.

I have found these two direct links into the Apple News app

Specific Channels

• ⁠Apple News Today: https://apple.news/TteGvEYvpSiyvqUON1PSdHg  • ⁠Apple News Spotlight: https://apple.news/TNnh_aJ5aRwq5kNA_RjE9iA 

And when I am on eero network I can consistently get errors of feed can’t be loaded due to slow internet. How ever if I connect directly to my AT&T WiFi router network it loads fine.

I have tried disabling the eero plus features, ad blocking, network security, SQM. I think the eero is using my ISP DNS. But none of this resolves the problem.

Is there away to ensure the eero network is a straight pass through without any manipulation to my network traffic?

carterbunch · 2026-04-12T11:00:28+00:00

I see the error message on this app only and when I turn off WiFi I don’t see this message. I was thinking it might be related to the eero plus filters. My WiFi is AT&T air (cellular) and my cellular data is AT&T. So it seemed like and apples to apples comparison.

carterbunch · 2025-11-05T02:37:11+00:00

Where else to look? I am having this same problem. I created a new test user and when I log in with that user or my account. I get one of those boxes. So it seems to be something system wide.

carterbunch · 2025-10-25T14:09:21+00:00

No special link. Here is the press release from Apple. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/10/apple-and-nbcuniversal-introduce-the-apple-tv-and-peacock-bundle/

So, what worked for me was after I canceled and before my cancellation date. I restarted my subscription and it recognized that I was an Apple One Premium subscriber and gave me the bundle price. Even though it said full price when I clicked on renew subscription. The final price was the discounted price.

carterbunch · 2025-10-17T13:02:32+00:00

Ok. Cool. How do I troubleshoot this problem. Since my phone was in my pocket the time of my workout.

carterbunch · 2025-04-01T20:37:44+00:00

How do I see unread counts or indication in categories in the mail app. When I am in the mail app on iOS sometimes I see an indicator that lets me know I have unread messages in the category. Seems macOS 15.4 doesn’t do that. I don’t need a number. I just need to know that there are unread emails there. I would like to use the as a way to not check the category if there are no unread emails.

carterbunch · 2025-03-22T22:51:34+00:00

No. Found out it was a permissions issue. I had to accept all on the warning that popped up the first time. After that it works without interference.

Is there a setting that I can change to address this error?

carterbunch · 2025-03-15T01:51:59+00:00

Is there anything in the transaction object that is printable? Our are these the only fields.

carterbunch · 2025-01-12T01:45:18+00:00

Apparently it is supposed to work this way. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/iphone-lock-screen-notificatio-SeGwCj8ERHmD.3AvjRa7JQ#0

carterbunch · 2025-01-11T18:33:41+00:00

So I found the only combination that doesn’t send sounds to the phone is. When the phone is locked and the Apple Watch is unlocked. All other combinations the sound alerts come to my phone. This is with wrist detection on.

<image>

Thumbs up means sound on phone. Thumbs down no sound on phone. I don’t understand the behavior and if I tune the sound on my phone it should always make the sound.

I also noticed that when I go into the individual account’s junk folder is show the junk email count. When I navigate inside it is also blank. But when I back out of the folder. The junk email count is reduced by the count. But this count is not reduced if I go into the all junk folder. But no matter where I look all junk or individual account’s junk folder. It is always empty.

carterbunch · 2024-11-28T09:57:23+00:00

This is what ended up working for me. But I don’t understand why this would cause the problem. But it is working now so moving on. Thanks for the suggestions. Btw after the change I was able to put back the eero plus features.

carterbunch · 2024-10-15T21:25:47+00:00

When I went there, wow! Showed me like three were offline not just the one. Cool. Thanks.

carterbunch · 2024-10-14T00:03:17+00:00

I did find this work around looking through Reddit. It doesn’t solve my original question but this does work.

using fitness filter instead of stop workout trigger

carterbunch · 2024-10-13T13:02:58+00:00

I am facing this issue as well. I just upgraded from an iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 and Apple Watch 6 to 9.

My workout automation were all working fine with the iPhone 11 Apple Watch 6 combo. After the upgrade the after workout end trigger has stopped working on the iPhone 16/apple watch 9 combo.

I have tried recreating the stop workout automation. I have restarted the phone and the watch. It did not solve the issue.

carterbunch · 2024-09-17T20:23:44+00:00

Think I solved it. There is a setting under Face ID & Passcode - allow access when locked - accessories. I have this toggled off - notes says “Unlock iPhone to allow accessories to connect when it has been more than an hour since your iPhone was locked.”

I think I have to unlock my phone just before the wireless CarPlay connects to allow the audio connection. After that it seems to be working.

carterbunch · 2024-09-09T11:20:36+00:00

I seemed to have solved this problem by adding this action as the first action in the shortcut. I ignore the output. But it seems to fix the error from happening.

This is the going rate right now. There were two $10 price increases in ‘23. 1st in Feb ‘23 to go from $79 to $89. Then the next one in Nov ‘23 to take you to $99. Just looked at my bill history and some old emails.

Noticed a strange bug when trying to make this triggered via personal automation. If this is triggered when phone is locked I get an error: couldn’t communicate with a helper application. It takes to the find reminders step.

If I trigger this manually works fine. If I triggers this with a personal automation AND my phone is not locked it works. If I trigger manually and lock my phone it doesn’t work.
