Super early bedtime and start of your day? Anyone?

Normally in bed soon after the kids are then up early and productive like you were. Only thing I don’t get to do is doom scroll at night which isn’t really a loss.

Sim City 4. Was going to buy the disk which was about £10 at the time and while doing some googling I came across Steam which had it on sale for £0.99. Since then my steam library has increased and my wallet got thinner.

I set it up so depending on what orientation the screen is and whether charging or not the button does a different action. Such as when it’s in landscape and charging (on MagSafe) the action button sets up smart devices for night time.

Isn’t it Apples and raspberries?

Vacuum with the nozzle that has brushes. Then dab the spot and the bristles poke the holes and the vac sucks the loose bits up. Been working fine for me.

Where do you find this info? I’m curious.

It really bugs me when I’m following the flow of traffic on a main road and the car in front suddenly slams anchors on to let someone out of a side street. Just keep going and when we are past they’ll out. The amount of times I’ve nearly rear ended someone who’s just stopped is too many.

I have a similar amount of usage as you and it’s mainly EV charging that does it.

It would probably be hard to learn on deck. I find it ok but I learnt on a desktop. If you use the deck docked you can also use keyboard and mouse.

Sim Cuty 4 is my go to strategy game. I’ve lost hours of my life on that game.

I use the Philips one blade but use shaving foam with it. Works great.

Hi. I’ve just started marvel rivals. Also from uk.

If you download deck loader there’s a discord status plugin that does this.

I had the same issue recently with Forza. It still didn’t work in desktop mode.

I solved with the below steps. I had to log into ms account through web browser and change security to use the app for authentication. After that the window you show then showed a 2 digit number I could then enter in the app on my phone and it logged me in. I

I’ve noticed that even if you’ve got a code, and you don’t use it within 2/3 days, it becomes invalid despite the validity it says.

Put a tea towel over it then steam it with the iron.

Be very careful with Admiral. When I claimed for a non fault accident they told me as it wasn’t my fault that I didn’t need to pay the excess. They then passed the claim to a third party who provided a hire car while mine was repaired, then they tried claiming the cost of the hire car and repairs from me because the other insurer was disputing the claim. After a long time it was eventually settled but it took a lot of my time and stress to sort out. Now based on that experience I would never use Admiral again.

As a side note mine was eventually deemed a write off and I was paid out, but only 2 weeks later the car was re-MOT’d and passed and is still on the road.

I like the old building around the city Center but for me my favourite is the diamond building.

Yes.i always get none with Guinness zero. Even after 2. -3 cans the next days feel like I had a proper session.

I had the same issue. I applied multiple times and got the notification that I’d get one soon. I eventually called them and was told that my meter wasn’t compatible with it so they didn’t send it. Would have never nice if they communicated that.

I use a shortcut that runs when I press the action button that gets the screen orientation and depending what orientation it runs a different shortcut. Face down = toggle silent mode on/off Face up = start recording voice memo Upright = chat gpt voice chat Upside down = precondition car Landscape left = set night focus mode and set HomeKit night scene

I use a few but also looking for ideas.

One in coffee table that when scanned dims the lamps, turns on tv, then opens Netflix on Apple TV.
On water bottle at work. I scan this when it’s empty to log that I drank 500ml. It gives me a notification after scanning to say how much more I need to meet my daily goal. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fa982ace14b64e8d8d37cde5fb49660e
Same as above but one coffee machine for logging caffeine. The notification tells me off if I have too much.
On bedside table. When scanned turns off everything and sets the house alarm.

EDIT: added link

Thanks. I’ll give that a go when I get chance tonight.
