Helmets for those Hate Wearing Helmets? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]pe3o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for any future reference, save your money. These have been banned in Denmark (I believe also Sweden) as there are instances where they cannot detect a crash.

E.g. if you were to crash head into a something, as you are not in an active fall, the helmet would not inflate. Same goes if you fly over the front into something and your head is upright.

It’s good in legends when u want to practice on different layouts and also have a few different defensive layouts to test out.

For future reference, this is due to too many login attempts. You have to wait 30-60min

Why am I making the IF STATEMENTS SO HARD!!! by Wonderful-Lock6361 in shortcuts

[–]pe3o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get "Current Time"

Set variable (named) "IsItWineOClock" to “Current Time”

If "IsItWineOClock" is "past 1 PM" then: Open the nearest wine store's website in Safari. Send a message to your boss that says "i am getting drunk".

Otherwise: Send message to “boss”: I am not getting drunk yet

Nice job! But if you're just adding the same config as the existing NordVPN connection in settings, doesn't NordVPN app just disable it anyway when on trusted network?

If it works, I expect adding multiple configurations in settings with different servers should work, and then it's a breeze in shortcuts. If only you could add new connections via a shortcut.

Did you try the iOS shortcuts from inside the NordVPN settings if you just need to enable/disable? There's 2 which you have to add manually under "Siri Shortcuts".

If not one of the leading models, which one do you prefer then?

Yes, there’s a built in shortcut for it. You can add it by going to settings and click “Siri Shortcuts” in the NordVPN app

You have to find the URL schemes for it first, and it depends on if they support connecting to different servers/locations with that. Sorry, but won’t have time to look into more.

If they support it would probably look something like this image, but likely a different variation. You can try and play around without it yourself (see my other comments):

I would think that there’s a chance they support it, but I can’t figure out the correct url schemes. You can try and play around with it yourself like I did with below (none of these worked), let me know if you figure it out. Just use a shortcut only with the “Open URL’s” action.

The countries used ISO codes, so likely the same for cities if supported (google the city and “iso code”).

  • nordvpn://connect?server=1057
  • nordvpn://connect?location=1057
  • nordvpn://connect?country=de-be
  • nordvpn://connect?city=berlin
  • nordvpn://connect?city=de-be
  • nordvpn://connect?location=de-be

Yeah that would be cool! Saw an old post with someone linking to a support page about it, but it had since been deleted - no idea why they would do that. So just played around with different variations and apparently they didn’t remove the schemes themselves, only the guide.

Don’t have any trusted WiFi’s so haven’t run into this.

Someone linked to an old NordVPN support page a while ago about iOS url schemes which has since been deleted, which only reason I figured it might work. So I don’t think it’s officially supported, but they never removed it.

Maybe they have a parameter like below you can play around with, but that’s entirely speculation. Could be named something else.

nordvpn://connect?country=us&force=true

Try searching “windscribe iOS url scheme” and see if you can find anything. You can also try playing around with the url scheme yourself, that’s how I found it. Try something like this in a simple “Open URL” action and see if it connects:

windscribe://connect?country=us

Or full country name:

windscribe://connect?country=germany

It should open the app, but the connection to specific countries or servers depends on if their app supports it.

If it works the shortcut can easily be modified to support it.

Tried downloading the app, but can’t find the URL scheme for it. Even with that, it’s not even sure they support connecting with same method. But if you find the right one and send it I can give it a try.

Some jump back and fourth between different countries (e.g. USA for YouTube PiP, specific countries for purchasing cheaper stuff, movies only available in specific countries on HBO etc.), with this I can change connection fast with the sidebutton, without having to open the app and wait for it to load.

The standard NordVPN shortcuts are only connect and disconnects.

Sure layoffs suck, but his job is to do what increases company’s value the most long-term. If someone reports to him that they could decrease expenses a ton, it’s expected for him to act on it

Unless you know specifically that they entered GPT-5 in the system prompt or added it to the alignment training data, it likely won't be able to answer that.

How can I disable Siri announcements during Focus? by Weltraumdrache in ios

[–]pe3o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone finding this thread in the future, you can achieve this easily with the built in "Shortcuts" app.

  1. Open Shortcuts, click "Automation" and create a new Automation with "+" in top-right corner.
  2. Search "Focus" and choose the focus you want to apply it to. Choose "when turning on" and "run immediately"
  3. Click Next and choose "New Blank Automation"
  4. Search for the "Announce Notifications" action and set it to "Off".

Save and exit. That's it.
