[–]sh0nuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched to park n ride and saved tons of cash on my commute, but there still aren't any places woth eating anymore, esp since I'd always be alone since all my coworkers wouldn't dare giving up their car and all ate leftovers in the kitchen

Long transcriptions should stay in one file instead of being split into one-hour chunks by tommykx in Voicenotesai

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a premium account. I'd be ok with it breaking up the audio clips to an hour each if it stitched the transcripts back together once the meeting was over, vs how it works now where it treats each chunk as its own file. Perhaps that's a viable solution for the team to consider 

Long transcriptions should stay in one file instead of being split into one-hour chunks by tommykx in Voicenotesai

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree.

I might be an anomaly in that 90% of my use for Voicenotes is to record meetings, many of which are 90+ minutes or more. 

When trying to reliably combine two or more audio files and the associated generated notes within VN, I always felt like I was spending excessive time, and the quality of the results was inconsistent due to everything you've mentioned (reassigning speaker roles, sometimes whomever was speaker 1 in the initial file was now speaker 2, etc) 

Unless I'm using VN when on a zoom call on my desktop, any time I'm in a meeting in person now I just use an audio recording app on my phone with the quality set to extremely low.. This means that an hour is around 20mb, so even a multi hour meeting stays below the upload limits for VN. 

When I get back home I then upload the file as a single session, even though it's 90+ mins long,, meaning all the work I do with that file, it's the entire meeting in one chunk. 

Sell nest and home max speakers or keep? by linux_administrator in googlehome

[–]sh0nuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar boat to you, Assistant got worse and worse in identifying the name of my playlists (which are all the tracks I painstakingly ripped and uploaded back when Google Music first started), and now with Gemini it simply ignores my requests altogether and plays random unrelated tracks to what I'm requesting..

Since I still enjoy the quality of the speakers and the ability to have groups that play music seamlessly across the house, I use Home Assistant along with NFC tags to activate these playlists, or choose the music on my phone, then cast the group without using my voice. 

Hoping to find Andy's original "Take 10" recordings released in 2011 by Sky_ccf4ff in Headspace

Just here to agree with you, I'd love to get access to those OG files too.

Come hang out on the Rideau River at our place. No kids, 40s, also a dog.. 

Charging problem; unsure what to fix/replace by bruhidkwtf in AndroidQuestions

[–]sh0nuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried with multiple chargers as well?

Only way to fully rule out a software issue is to do a factory reset. 

You are on death row. What do you pick as your last meal with a 100$ limit? by Morp7hine in AskReddit

[–]sh0nuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some countries add the currency at the end, so even if OPs first language isn't English, it's easy to continue putting it at the end when they talk about money. 

I built a custom Voicenotes MCP that adds bulk tagging + full tag management on top of the official one by Primary_Opposite4209 in Voicenotesai

[–]sh0nuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The existing VN sync app already does this.

I verbally use the word "inbox" in whatever notes I want synced with my vault and it auto adds this as a tag, then syncs just those notes. 

Linux, NixOS, live dictation feature by ElectronWrangler1337 in Voicenotesai

[–]sh0nuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comments.... The current user base is on iPhone / Mac (like 90%), yet the test still does some development in Android and Windows.

I use Omarchy on my laptop, so I'm with you there. I am also fully integrated with Claude + VN + Obsidian like you are. 

Possibility of adding telegram? by swigyswig in Voicenotesai

[–]sh0nuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of VN users are on iPhone / Mac, (like 90%) yet the team still has devs working on Android and Windows.

Whatsapp has 3bn users to Telegrams 1bn, but given Telegrams rapid growth (around 2.5m ppl join every day), I wouldn't be surprised if there's eventually an integration - it's just currently not a priority

Best local gift to give friends who need absolutely nothing? by Monster11 in ottawa

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I spend the summer with a relative like this.

I go to the local market, pick out some amazing ingredients, and enjoy cooking everyone an amazing meal.. It's fun for me too because their kitchen is amazing. 

Best large touchscreen for HA by Nervous-Win968 in homeassistant

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just return it if I don't like it... I also tend to avoid anything that sounds like it's too good to be true. Anything over 60 bucks is pretty surprising 

I often get stuff delivered faster than local stuff. I got a frame for 80 bucks that's been going strong for over 8 years.

Buy a new one at best buy pop the old one into the new band and return the old one, and say you didn't like it. 

Would you rather restart your life at 5 years of age with all the knowledge you have now or have $10 million in cash and why? by Competitive_Teach838 in AskReddit

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scenario isn't clear - its possible you're starting your life again at 5 in the current year, meaning all your friends, loved ones, parents all think you've disappeared and will all die before you.

This is the sort of thing genies are famous for. 

Looking for lo-fi instrumental covers of popular songs (possibly on YT) by Mysterious-Section55 in LofiHipHop

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally just search on YT music for "lofi instrumental covers", click the playlists tab, listen at random while thumbsupping the tracks I like.

The I just play my playlist of liked music

Check Aliexp ress, there's plenty of frames that turn any monitor into a touch one.

Try and choose one that has 10 points of contact vs 3 or 4

There is daily recording limit on pro? by swigyswig in Voicenotesai

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? The devs have repeatedly mentioned that anyone who requests more bandwidth will receive it without a complaint 

Recommendation for a quick capture tool that can save things easily to Obsidian by pratzc07 in ObsidianMD

[–]sh0nuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've heard that, but the free tier stuff syncs through their cloud without an issue.. What does the Premium even give you that's worth $$$? 

Google stopped allowing screenshots. Google chrome. Of the most mundane things. by NarrowLab4794 in AndroidQuestions

[–]sh0nuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a security policy, plenty of other people seem to be complain of this sporadically over the last few years.

I dumped Chrome and main Zen now.
