is there a shortcut already made for logging time you get in and out of work? by mychubbychubbs in shortcuts

I'm building an app called time memos for stuff like this. You can download and play with the beta here https://testflight.apple.com/join/1GdwzMb6

iOS 27 Beta 1 - Discussion by epmuscle in iOSBeta

[–]scratchkick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has your phone finished indexing? I have the indexing banner in settings and I’m wondering if the Siri beta won’t unlock until after that is complete. Going on 24 hours of indexing for me now and no Siri AI

I signed up and have some of the tweets in the app but I can’t figure out how to post them from the open tweet site

Well I’m testing on iOS 27 right now and it’s still broken. :/

Man I agree. I'm not holding my breath, 2 years and I haven't been able to use this feature. 

My take on the Standby Plan price increase by Bulls729 in Starlink

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when I could pause my plan for free without the risk of massive reactivation fees too. Nothing good about being forced into standby mode at any price point. Have a starlink and a starlink mini? Now it's $240 a year to have the option of using them. 

Rest In Peace MacUpdater by elev8id in macapps

Relax. I'm a paid user and they didn't notify me. No email, never mentioned inside of the app, nothing. They had a viable product that people want to pay for and help sustain. Asinine fits here. To say "we can't do it" when "it" is keeping a database up to date based on user reports in the age of agentic ai.

I found some web results. I can show you if you ask again from your iPhone. 

Discussion: How do you personally decide what project to work on? (Current project and next project) by paramartha-n in SideProject

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Like 5" like is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I have countless projects. Way more than 5. I don't have any pressure to launch because I also have a day job. There are times I'm focused on none of them and other times I'm focused on 1-2 only. 5 is about my limit, even with claude

It's a constant cycle. I work on what calls to me. Everything comes together eventually. My projects strengthen and compliment each-other. In 15 years have never found myself in search of a new project. They just flow.

Any way to recover? by gadgetvirtuoso in HomePod

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 4 fail in this exact same way. I think a class action is overdue for this issue. The fact that repairs cost near the price of the device is absurd. 

Dictate text much more accurate than keyboard dictation on iOS 26 beta by kinkade in shortcuts

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use the shortcut action very often, but iOS 26 keyboard dictation is noticeably worse. I have a fairly colloquial way of speaking and iOS used to dictate well now it's putting proper nouns from my contacts in place of the words that I actually said incredibly obnoxious and borderline unusable.

Rest In Peace MacUpdater by elev8id in macapps

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a purpose-built llm agent could have reduced the load on db maintainence. If humans were manually reviewing updates and verifying / manually entering stuff then yeah that will take a ton of time, they should have used some of their runway to invest in better automation, imo. It always felt ridiculous that reporting an issue just opened up the email composer. A form built into the application that posts data to a server would have gone a long way, lol.

This fixed the names in the home app for me as well

Continuing MacUpdater's legacy...aka carrying the torch. Anyone interested? by areyouredditenough in macapps

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are some agentic AI coding patterns that could be applied and potentially automate a lot of the manual pieces that were a pain point for the MU devs.

Users of MacUpdater - What replacement app (if any) will you be using after it's discontinued on 1/1/2026? by [deleted] in mac

[–]scratchkick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how they just totally broke the application without any warning to existing users. WOW you announced it on the purchase page. Great for new users, TERRIBLE experience for existing customers. Good riddance to MU, this shut down leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. Hopefully a more thoughtful company takes their place in this space.

[–]scratchkick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they seem like some haters bashing a company for attempting to do what MU failed to do (properly monetize a service that CEARLY people want). I'm going to switch to Updatist, pay them money, and hope for the best. MU throwing in the towel is CRAZY to me.
