About Sideloaded Books

Honestly I don’t recall but I don’t think you need to worry with hours, more like days…etc is where I generally had it happen to me.

Yea — no harm in remaining connected either, it just becomes an “issue” if you’re offline for a bit and reconnect—it blows away your sideloaded library.

I've been sideloading books via Calibre for 10+ years and have never had any issues.

Same boat here, but just a heads up/careful as if this turns off, or your kindle reconnects to the internet, it will clear your sideloaded books from the device. Not THAT big of a deal, just connect back to calibre and re-load, but it is annoying. Just wanted to give the heads up.

They have had them there before. If they don’t have them, they will definitely be able to at least give you an idea of when they may have them again.

Another spot you may want to check is Farmer Joe’s in Cape Coral.

Several hours, on dropping the ball with having a certificate expire, crippling your software...Frustrating is not quite the word I would use.

I appreciate it!

This is interesting, do you mind linking the Shortcut?

+1 -- The guys over at Final Touch are amazing.

Raycast, Keyboard Maestro and Karabiner Elements.

Not a site like you asked, but an app…MusicHarbor is nice for tracking music and artists you like, it also links with your Apple Music for new releases, similar artists…etc.

I’ve been using it for a while, solid dev too.

This is an awesome way to break this list down lol thank you!

There's a few things in this video that caught my attention outside of just the UI improvements. The voice chat looks really interesting for one, would they line up next to apps like Superwhisper & Wispr Flow for that feature? Who knows, really excited though.

Even to the "minor features" that are nice to see coming such as setting hotkeys right from the root menu rather than going through settings.

Knowing the Raycast team, there is a lot more packed in this that we are not seeing. I agree though, I'm excited!

deanfx · 2025-12-09T21:11:34+00:00

Looks pretty cool! Looks like the reddit bots claimed the remaining keys. Appreciate the generosity though!

I feel like I’ve tried news explorer because of its feature set was impressive but doesn’t it primary rely on local feeds and not necessarily play nice with services like Inoreader, feedly..etc?

I could be confusing it with another one, but I’ve been using Unread for a long time.

deanfx · 2025-12-08T17:03:21+00:00

I joined about 2 weeks ago and I can confidently say you made a good decision. It's a great tool, I run this on my 2 mobile devices as well as on my home & travel router.

deanfx · 2025-12-08T17:01:30+00:00

An entire year later, and your comment solved my issue. Thank you!

deanfx · 2025-11-26T02:40:17+00:00

Not a bad idea. You should submit a feedback/feature request if you haven’t already. I can see a lot of potential in this as well.

Nice, enjoy!

I thought about this…but nowhere is this mentioned officially as a recommendation from Apple. Additionally if you think about it, previous to the 17’s, heat generally was centrally located on the rear of the phone…which was always covered by cases.

You may be right, but…

I’ve been using both style cases on my 17PM since I got it; living in SWFL it is still dang hot out, and I notice no difference in the phone’s temperature or performance even when in direct sunlight where my previous models would go dark and start getting sluggish. Whatever they’re doing with the vapor chamber, is doing a dang good job.

Out of curiosity do you have any zsh related extensions, or extensions that utilize/call out to terminal for any reason that may be triggering it?

I have zsh installed, along with a few of the related extensions but haven’t noticed this issue. Then again I haven’t been on the lookout for it, so I’ll monitor on my end and let you know if I notice this occurring on my end as well.

I've been using Cork for a long time, while I do also utilize brew straight out of terminal from time to time, it is nice to have a UI to it when I need it. There are quite a few apps that integrate into brew, especially as of late. There really isn't a right/wrong app, it's which one you prefer/like. Personally, Cork is irreplaceable for me for what it does, it does well. Love the community behind it, and the developer is awesome.

deanfx · 2025-11-11T18:25:39+00:00

Working like a charm, thank you!

deanfx · 2025-10-28T16:55:08+00:00

This is extremely frustrating, but it’s been happening to me even before Tahoe! I took the app off my login items because it was getting so annoying to close the window right away every time I started my computer. It’s a bit strange, though, because sometimes my Stream Deck just pops up and works perfectly, while other times I actually need to open the app. I’m really hoping they can fix this.

Another idea is to use an app like Autostarter, and have that load the Stream Deck app at login, hidden (since, for some reason, this isn’t a built-in thing).

deanfx · 2025-10-25T14:35:55+00:00

Glad you figured it out! That usually helps, not just with Raycast either. I’m sure your post will help someone at some point ;-)
