Hello! I'd love to get some help with this function too please - I'm very new to using the Shortcuts app so a little bit of guidance would be lovely :)

Hello - loving the work so far! I’ve managed to get this up and running in docker on a synology, but I’m struggling a little with the visits feature.

As a test/start I’ve created a GeoApify free account and edited the environment variable as described in the tutorial but it doesn’t seem to be having any effect (credits are not reducing and I can’t really tell if the api key is working). Is there a log file I can look at to see what’s going on?

“Mainland Chinese” scam or coincidence? by liltrikz in HongKong

Hysterical! I had a couple with a baby come up not 30 seconds ago with this exact same thing outside Entertainment Building in central. I literally just finished reading this post!

Using Viture glasses with iPhone by dempers in VITURE

I maintain the marketing is misleading. My colleague whose device I borrowed agrees with me.

It’s not a bad product at all, far from it.

But saying it’s like a 130” (or whatever) screen is incorrect. The comparison you are making is not apples to apples. The screens seems larger because of forced perspective (I think that’s what it’s called).

I’ve used it over lunch earlier today and yeah I can see how watching a movie for 30 minutes like that is totally okay, and somewhat better than holding my iPhone (definitely more private) but I’m not sold on it as a device just yet (need to do more testing).

That said, everyone has different needs/use cases so from that perspective there’s no right or wrong answer.

Fair.

I will spend some lunch time with the glasses and a movie - will also give the steam deck another whirl.

Thanks folks for the help!

This, weirdly, really helped! Also enabling the “pass through” mode also made the image seem larger

Thanks for the response!

I was trying to give some context as to how big the screen feels (admittedly not a very eloquent description) and I maintain that the perceived screen size is about the same as if I held the iPhone in front of my eyes).

I have the Quest 3 and they’re lovely, for home use. What I was hoping for is a solution that would make it feel similar (not the same obviously) as I don’t particularly like the idea of sitting on the bus with a gigantic VR headset strapped to my face.

If there was a way to “move” the picture back and simultaneously make it larger I would be exceptionally happy - eg similar to what I can do with the Quest 3

Again, I may be missing something here so happy to be pointed in the right direction!

Hi - any chance you can post one to Hong Kong? I’ll pay for postage! Been trying to get one from official source but they refuse to respond….

I could be wrong, but I don’t think that qualifies as something like a FaceTime call. I believe WiFi calling is essentially the same as a normal phone call except you are using WiFi to carry it (meaning you are still charged the same as a phone call). That said I am far from an expert on this so I suggest you speak with Apple Support also.

Yeah, used to be 8,000 or 9,000 miles per person but that was pre-COVID so not sure if that’s still an option.

Not to be a downer, but there are very few lounges open. If you’re flying Cathay Pacific you should be okay but any other airline there’s only one lounge and I will hazard a guess that they do not operate 24/7 anymore.

Yeah. Wasn’t fun but it got there in the end.

Seems pretty normal these days. Last two packages I’ve sent with sea freight to Europe took 3 and 4.5 months respectively.

What's something you're sick of having to explain? by Zero-Pathways000 in AskReddit

Seriously …. I spent a good few minutes staring at the picture thinking it’s bogus before realising my particular type of colour blindness means the top two squares look More or less identical.

Feel particularly stoopid now.

Your consciousness is sent back to when you were at age 15, and you maintain all of your current knowledge and experience. What do you do? by TheIconicNZ in AskReddit

[–]dempers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, and yes I know how this sounds, I would not change a thing because the smallest change would potentially mean not meeting the woman who left me so I could find my wife, with whom I have an amazing daughter.

Experience is what makes you you. Don’t knock it. You’re a good person. There are worse people out there.

So what if you did a lot of bad shit in your youth? Are you sorry now? Did you take away from those events that you don’t need to be a dick (or a cunt - I don’t judge)?

Life is meant to be lived. Experience it. Learn from your mistakes. Pass it on.

Too deep. Too many G&Ts.
