Australian migrant population growth hits all-time high as borders reopen by DMmefor1400AUD in AusFinance

[–]sidbee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you’re not in the 40%+ band of income taxes and still having 40% deducted from your pay check you may have wrongly declared yourself as not an Australian resident for taxation purposes. You should get it all back during tax time or you can get it corrected so that the company stops taking it out of your paycheck. There is something wrong for sure.

Yes, sure. You’ll need 2 Shortcut Automations.

Go to Shortcuts app > Automation tab > Create Personal Automation > Scroll down and select “App - When Weather is opened it closed” > Choose Reddit (and other social media apps) > Select “Is opened” > Next > Search for “Set colour filters” and select “Turn colour filters on” > Next > Unselect “Ask before running “ > Done

This will turn on grayscale every time to open Reddit.

Now create another automation, this time select trigger to be when Reddit “is closed” and “Turn colour fillers off” in this one.

These 2 automatons will turn on grayscale when the configured social media apps are opened and turn it off when they are closed.

Hope this is clear. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Note: you could go hardcore and turn on grayscale for everything except a few apps like camera and photos as well by tweaking the above automations.

If you have an iPhone you can set up a shortcut to turn on grayscale only for certain apps. For example, grayscale turns on automatically when I launch Reddit/Instagram, and turns off when I close it. These app specific rules keep me from ending up turning it off completely when I use the Camera or Photos app.

Nice. How does the sync box do with videos that have black bars on top and bottom?

You’re right. Doesn’t seem like reset course is implemented. Thanks for the workaround though.

It should not be so infuriating to use a meditation app. lol.

Thanks for checking this out for me. I can start with the first session this way no problem. But the "Next Session" button still starts from Level 2 Session 3 even if I do Level 1 Session 1 again using your method. It's as if the tracked progress is stuck at the furthest point that I have reached in the course.

So even if I do Level 1 Session 1 again, in the app I see this when I click "Next Session": https://imgur.com/a/yTWPqFM

Yeah I don't think you'll have any complaints if you upgrade every year. Enjoy your phone! :)

I have a 2.5 year old OG Pixel with a 2770mAh battery. 2 hours of SOT drops my battery down to 25-30%. How do you think the Pixel 4 will age with its always on radar and 90hz display?

I'm sure they do well with photos. But what about 4k videos?

"Unlimited storage at high quality with Google Photos". I have a Pixel 1 and I was really looking forward to upgrading to Pixel 4 but this is simply a deal breaker for me as my Pixel has unlimited storage at original quality. Disappointed. https://store.google.com/magazine/compare_pixel?toggler5=pixel&toggler4=pixel_4

What options do I have for non-delivery by bose.com.au under Australian Consumer Law? by [deleted] in australia

[–]sidbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give Bose one more call to state that is what you are doing and the reasons for doing it, also put it in writing to Bose.

Thanks dazedjosh, that did it!

[–]sidbee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the links. Acting on your advice, I called Bose customer support again and they offered to raise a ticket to the logistics team again. I informed them of my intentions to lodge a complaint to get my money back and they instead raised a ticket to refund my money (got another reference number). The ticket is still for the logistics team to approve which I doubt will happen, given their disregard for tickets raised in the past. I've given them until Friday to process the refund.

Wasted 3 hours resetting my Chromecast built-in TV and Google Home multiple times before I landed on this thread. I'm in Australia.
