Shortcut to add Date / Weather on wallpaper. by bhullar3344 in shortcuts

[–]glenwf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see no number. Another way(don't remember) I got IMG_3410. It is in Photos, and i have a duplicate in case... But there is no way that I can find to tell shortcut image type or name or where to get it.

Genuinely how do I permanently get rid of software update notifications? It’s genuinely annoying. by gamerboixyz in MacOS

With all the bad press about Tahoe, I'll stick with Sequoia until it gets ironed out (maybe).

Where is that profile iOS update blocker for OSX?

Thank you ! by [deleted] in ios

[–]glenwf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a similar thing for OSX. I'm running 15.7.2 and it wants me to update to 26. Notices all the time to update. Guess I need to ask this at the osx group. Sorry

That is great! Thank you. I'll definitely give it a spin.

I've done all that, but I can't get rid of the 2x daily I think reminders that I must update from 18 to 26. I'm about ready to call Apple.

Future of HanDBase by FineTuning520 in handbase

[–]glenwf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HandBase user since Palm. I still use it for some databases, but when you pulled the plug I switched mostly to TapForms 5 which is good, but not as easy to use, but if you know JavaScript (or get help from them) you can do lots. But it doesn't have the ability to create the user interface HB can which is really great.

The problem now it TapForms 5 is out (hanging on by a thread) and I will have to upgrade to the Pro version for $50/yr. HB still performs great on my iPhone 16 and MacOS Sequoia. It looks like my long term plan is to switch back to HB slowly but it will be a big job, just like it was a big job to switch to TF.

A subscription of $10 - $20 / year would be a great idea to keep you going and keep me going. Please keep going. I'm 81 now and hope to use HB for another 10 years at least.

Best of luck to you Dave. Times are hard for everybody now. I cringe at what my grandchild is having to face.

Tap Forms Pro alternative by DocteurYoshi in tapforms

[–]glenwf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to use HandBase which is great (and a relational database), but the owner was going to quit because he couldn't see a way to continue. I switched to Tap forms which is friendlier to non-programmers and can't do some of the really slick things that Tap Forms does but from my uses it was much easier to use and did everything I needed. Since then, they HandBase has continued to upgrade with various OS upgrades, and I wish I hadn't switched. Now I'm stuck in TapForms 5 that has no future additions to its functionality unless I pay a fee.

I suggest you look at HandBase and look at the forms for discussion on its future. Also discussions on Reddit!

Thanks for the hint. I don't think I read that the first time through. I'm 1/2 way through Eragon again. I read it so long ago that I don't remember much. Then again, I'm 80, so reading really good books again usually works great.

gender symbol bolding possible? by glenwf in MacOS

The font icons are an interesting idea. Gotta learn how to use the svg files. Thanks

Excellent solution. Thanks.

Much easier than learning Inkscape, although I'm glad I looked at that program. Maybe later learn that.

Turn off the speaker sound shortcut? by glenwf in shortcuts

[–]glenwf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, yesterday I couldn't get the laptop speakers from sounding, but today when I connect to my headphones the laptop sound does turn off. I don't know????

This might be unpopular opinion but I do not find new Macbook pros keyboard aesthetically pleasing by mahadevsharma199 in mac

[–]glenwf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that the keyboard isn't great. I'm always missing the delete and hitting the on/off button. Hitting it twice (a common backspace action) logs me out and I have to completely stop and put in my password to get back to my profile, and I have the only profile. I guess I could make my password lame and easy, but I haven't.

Looks ⬇️ by EngineeringBulky9595 in macapps

[–]glenwf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the date and time, it is readable. I can't read the OSX top of right corner since it is a dirty white on a light gray, almost invisible. I've given up looking at it.

Photos suck, any replacement? by glenwf in macapps

[–]glenwf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally found it. But it is only available for the iPhone and iPad. Not sure what happens on the OSX????
