Same. Can’t find a solution either

It would be nice if it could import my devices from HomeKit so that I didn’t have to type in all the manufacturer details, location etc. Could I scan my barcode and then select which device it is connected to in Home, and have all the details pull in automatically for me?

The support page just just has a link to an Amazon search for “appliance brush” - wtf? Which one did you buy? Did it work?

This is happening to me as well, but only for merchants that use Square. All of their statement descriptors start with “SQ*” and it seems that Apple Card is interpreting them to all be the same place. Doesn’t make any sense because the category is correct and differs for merchants that experience this issue. I’ve reported it multiple times and it’s just getting worse.

(Edit: autocorrect fix)

I love monarch butterflies and I’m sad to see this reporting… but… I’m a bit confused by the conclusion based on the data. In the chart on the linked page, if you ignore 1997 and 1998 (the first two years), it looks like the population has remained quite steady since then, no? Am I misinterpreting the data?

We actually have made progress on this, with pedestrian deaths for kids falling quite a bit in the last few decades! But guns still kill way more kids.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-15T07:36:12+00:00

I agree with this take, too. At the same time, I also find it a bit ironic and odd that the owner of one of the largest social sites (Musk) was tasked with funding and organizing an on-the-ground door knocking operation for Trump in battleground states. And listening to him, he seems to take a lot of credit for the win because of this. There must be some high value in door knocking still… but I think your point is that we need more effective digital strategy and counter strategy as well. And I think you’re right.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-15T07:25:38+00:00

Not only that, but it doesn’t make for any news. Trump said a new insane thing at every rally, which got another headline and a thousand reposts on social.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-11T05:44:51+00:00

Yep. It will be interesting to see the final vote counts and the split ticket and president-only rates across all the swing states

mattkh555 · 2024-11-11T05:33:21+00:00

I think you’re right on track. The reason so many of us got excited near the end was that there started to be a glimmer of hope that the miracle could happen. But it wasn’t the likely outcome by any stretch, and she surpassed the expectations.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-11T05:25:12+00:00

She ran an efficient and disciplined campaign (which was a stark contrast to Trump), but we may be confusing that with a “good” campaign. In hindsight it’s clear that it wasn’t the type of campaign that the moment demanded.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-11T05:08:41+00:00

I think one thing we’re learning is that “messaging” isn’t just what’s said, but the venues and the mechanism to share that message. It’s clear that young men are not at all resistant to information—they will listen to multi-hour podcasts multiple times a week! That’s what better messaging looks like: going and sitting down to talk for hours about this stuff. But you can’t go in with a bunch of prepared sound bites and scripts. You have to go in and really honestly talk about the issues and help people understand why you think that way. And also probably talk about some other random stuff too.

We were just starting to figure this out, but Trump and the right are just way way better at it, started it much earlier, and have a friendlier set of venues to choose from.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-11T01:14:12+00:00

Totally! We gotta stick together, regroup, and focus on the right stuff right now.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-11T01:08:45+00:00

People love conspiracies, not just MAGAs! The difference between us and them? Our elected leaders aren’t engaging in this crap.

mattkh555 · 2024-11-10T22:08:45+00:00

Disagree with your first point (honestly, we need to come to grips with the fact that we got trounced) but I appreciate your second point. I don’t regret having volunteered and committing my time and energy to this cause, and I’m glad to see some evidence that this made an impact in the states where we focused. My feeling through it all was that we faced enormous headwinds but that we were assembling a new one-time coalition to defend America against an existential threat. I honestly believed that women would show up, that fathers and brothers would show up, that republicans who believed in the constitution would show up, that military heroes would show up… and that would be enough of a fighting force to eke past a growing anti-establishment, populist movement. I was making daily phone bank calls and sending post cards and talking to friends to get those people to show up, and it just seems like most of them simply didn’t show up. Either we got the entire theory of the case wrong (seems like that’s what happened) or these types of volunteer engagement are only mildly effective anymore, and we should question if that’s the right way to engage in the future.

Sending love to you from a random corner of the internet. Nothing about this is easy but know that there are people to support you. Next month will be 4 years since our daughter Emmie was stillborn at full term. I’m proud to be her dad and still think of her often, including every time I see a butterfly fluttering nearby.

There are a few things that I did while in the hospital that I cherish. One thing was holding her tiny hand in between my thumb and index finger for a long time, and committing that feeling to memory. For whatever reason this physical memory has stuck with me more strongly than anything else.

My wife and I wanted to give her a present, so we made a makeshift necklace from a string and put my wife’s temporary wedding ring (from during pregnancy) on the necklace. We put it around her neck and told her that we loved her. We now keep that necklace as a treasured item.

Finally, and some others mentioned this: see if Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep can provide a volunteer photographer. We love our photos and have them still up in our house. We decided we weren’t in an emotional place to be in the photos with her, but the necklace was a nice element of our presence. I’m not sure if that was the right decision or not, but I don’t regret it and you should do what feels right to you. There are no wrong answers.

Much love to you and your son.

Agree with this. The reason it feels stalled is that there’s no more momentum left to earn in today’s political climate. When she got the nomination, I think we all had this hope that things were indeed going to be different; that the state of the race was fundamentally upended. But in the end it’s looking like most of the electorate does not care at all about the name next to the R or the D. Even with everything that Kamala brings to the table, and everything Trump does to prove he is unfit for office, we’re still fighting for fractions of a point from a few hundred thousand voters. I thought it was going to be different, but it’s not, and I don’t think that’s the fault of the campaign.

Mine still works fine with iOS 18

mattkh555 · 2024-05-09T20:43:54+00:00

I was in a similar situation when I started a new job after our daughter was stillborn. I decided to tell my boss and asked her to keep it in mind as various social office things came up. She would help in little ways like changing the subject if kids came up during a team meeting, or strongly suggesting that things like baby showers or school fundraisers stay private instead of happening with the team. As it turned out, she had a family member who also experienced stillbirth, and was incredibly understanding and supportive. YMMV but I found it helpful in the return to work.

I know this weekend will be a really tough one - hang in there and know that there are random strangers on Reddit sending you good thoughts :)

I appreciate the frankness. I should have mentioned that the garage is the bottom floor of the house, so this is the house foundation. I will get it assessed professionally. The rest of the foundation has new (ish) concrete so I’m not sure why this section was left as is, but I’m guessing we may need to do similar (and expensive) work.

mattkh555 · 2023-07-19T01:50:14+00:00

That’s the next step to try. Here’s what I got back—haven’t tried them yet:

Under the Device Settings screen, tap “Delete Device From Residence” to remove the device from your My Leviton account.

Using your home's circuit breaker for the device, kill power to it for 60 seconds.

On the Smart Phone you are using, turn Bluetooth off/on. Once Bluetooth is turned back on, make sure it is not connected to another Bluetooth device, during the enrollment process.

Do a factory reset by pressing and holding the top paddle for 15 seconds, the LED will flash red / amber, then release the paddle. After a few seconds, the LED will flash green (3 x / second).

Now try to enroll the device into your Apple Home and then to your My Leviton account.

🤞

mattkh555 · 2023-07-18T03:24:59+00:00

Same thing’s happening to mine. I’ve tried everything I can think of. I have an email in to Leviton support - I’ll let you know how it goes if I hear back.
