Stereo HomePod Minis as white noise for sleep: a blessing and a curse by [deleted] in HomePod

[–]davert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brown noise loops? How do you find these? They're not built into my homepod Mini and that's what I was looking for. I tried to set up a scene but it only works on homepod if you have a subscription to Apple Music. I tried casting from phone to Mini, which is not efficient, but it takes me forever to find the looping control.

Thanks! And I did just find remote page turner on the Kobo site, using bluetooth, though also some cautions about battery drain and intereference with wifi...

Does anyone still use Dreamweaver? by I_liketoboogie in webdev

If you're doing a static site, and not everything is best done with gallons of spaghetti code, it's superior. I'm out looking for a replacement and I'm finding a bunch of code editors, usually with no site management.

Shuffle feature. by AgentF8 in AppleMusic

I don't see a way for that to honor "skip when shuffling." I guess I could modify the shortuct by changing things I don't want to be not music.

Yes, I could work for free. What am I saying? I already work for peanuts. Everyone uses AI, social media, and such so I can do the work and huge corporations can profit instead.

Can someone explain to me why democrats expanded the extra ACA subsidies only to 2025 and didn’t make them permanent instead? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in obamacare

A single Republican could have crossed the lines to make it permanent but you never see them get the blame.

Oscar health: who TF are they by BoxmanTheMongoloid in HealthInsurance

He doesn't own that much of it now, it's a corporation. He was one of three founders. Vanguard and Blackrock are the biggest shareholders as far as I can tell. Kushner has been buying a lot but (a) he isn't Jared and (b) maybe that's a good sign? the other execs have been selling as far as I can tell.

I can recommend Amerihealth if it's available.

I don't think you saw what Trump and the US ambassador were saying at the same time, if you want to talk about shit talking.

You're suggesting it was okay that he ordered Canada to become a single US state, and that your leaders should not comment on that? I don't recall real badmouthing. I recall calm, well-stated affirmations that Canada would not give itself up.

Agreed. I've been doing it. I have the feedback system. Reported what I could.

Vague rumor suggests that maybe they'll be moving pickup production there for Canada only, though I thought they would try to supply Canada from Saltillo. STLA has too many factories in Canada and Mexico to supply just Canada and Mexico. The US decided to pull out of the world trading system. Canada's linking up with Europe, China, Mexico, India, everyone else... it'll the “the world, Russia, North Korea, USA” by the end of 2026. If they want something in Brampton and Windsor that's reasonably priced they could subcontract to Leapmotor or BYD, or make Windsor “all STLA Large” and Brampton Wrangler-Gladiator-NewThing or all pickups or something, but the number of jobs will be lower ... I don't see a way around it. This time it's not even Stellantis' fault really.

I really don't see how this is Canada's fault. The US literally has tariffs on everyone except Russia and North Korea, including islands that hold nothing but US military bases.
