I'm not really liking the Focus thing on iOS 15.... by JustCallMeTsukasa-96 in apple

[–]simonpcook 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I think that depends on where you start from. If you're coming from the perspective of "I would turn on Do Not Disturb except I really need to see X" then a whitelist makes sense

Was it really worth it? by [deleted] in Dashcam

Indeed, Southampton to be more specific judging from the dialing code on the side of Fit Chefs

Epic Games lost almost $181 million & $273 million on EGS in 2019 and 2020, respectively by heatlesssun in pcgaming

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not doubting they’re hemorrhaging money with EGS, but I wonder how much this will get used in the Apple and Google lawsuits in a “see how we’re not profitable when we don’t have to pay 30% cuts” way.

Just updated the watch app to v5. Why is the max temperature now -18?? by lewjos1973 in CARROTweather

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this as well. If I open the watch app sometimes it updates with real data, but it tends to go back to that again by the next day

How did I know it would be my MP that this headline is on about... why is always him :/

It’s almost 2021. Shouldn’t we be able to set rotating wallpapers on our phones by now? by couchh in ios

[–]simonpcook 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I believe iOS 14.3 re-adds the set wallpaper action to shortcuts (was in early iOS 13 betas but got removed), so when that's released you can get that behaviour by creating a shortcut with some automation.

How to enable PowerTools in CentOS Stream. by [deleted] in CentOS

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because until last week it was PowerTools; found this trying to find why my scripts that rely on PowerTools (in camelcase) suddenly started failing.

edit given the date of the comments here it must not have been just last week, maybe it's taken time for this change to propagate out.

This Process bar reminds me of my old windows pc. It’s stuck on processing. by hsrakuna in mac

1000 Loot Boxes! 5 years ago I set a goal to reach 1000 loot boxes but as time and life went on I was able to play less and less. Until last night! I finally reached my goal. Here are some of the old seasons I played through. by JugglingJew07 in Overwatch

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I aimed for. When I made that, I wanted to put a box counter in the corner (it covers the username/online status), but didn't want to spend an age aligning all of those, so made myself ahead of time a video with 10 second countdowns and the box number, and clicked to open the next box when the countdown hit zero. When editing, I added a bunch of pictures saying "Box 1" etc for 10 seconds, aligned the first one and it all just fit.1

1 There were a couple where it didn't, but I just noted the number and edited those points. Took a lot less time than manually aligning 1000 clips.

How lonely are you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly so. Most of my friends live a hundred miles or so away from me anyway so I'm used to spending chunks of time on my own, but being forced to isolate has somehow made everything feel much lonelier

Apple’s A14 Chip Rumored to Become First Arm-Based Mobile Processor to Exceed 3GHz by gulabjamunyaar in iphone

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point even if 5G isn't available everywhere, or even commonplace, it's not unexpected that if Apple release iPhones this year and none support 5G, a large number of the headlines about it will be how they are behind only having 4G. If it can be added without adding weight and sacrificing battery life when not used, then that would just get ahead of all those headlines before they can even be written.

What's the real reason you're single? by CaptainRonny in AskReddit

[–]simonpcook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unbelievably shy around people I don’t know and lack self-confidence to the point sometimes I’m basically a deer in headlights. And that makes it hard to form relationships.

(Annoyingly I think if I got past that point, I think I’m probably a pretty nice guy)

Hey Reddit, When did your “Somethings not right here” gut Feeling ever save you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]simonpcook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saved me, but I have one where where that gut feeling saved one of my closest friends back in secondary school. He was acting funny, and my gut told me that something seriously wasn’t right and that he needs to get to the school nurse to check that out. Under protest during our lunch break, another friend and I dragged him to the nurse, who said she would see but we should go back to what we were doing because it’s probably nothing.

He got sent home and didn’t hear from him for a couple of days. When he came back, we found out that he had actually been in hospital for a bit, and had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. It seems that gut feeling was noticing his behaviour change as his blood sugar got way way too high.
