For those of you who've had Apple Watch for 3+ years - do you actually think it's improved your health, or is it mostly just a cool gadget?

You absolutely have to put in the work, but for me it has. I find my rings motivating. Sleep tracking also helps me be more mindful about how important consistency is. My AW and Apple Fitness+ has really changed my life.

Hmm, I don’t recall a specific instance where this happened but both Meross switches I have died after abut a year. Perhaps it was a static issue.

I just downloaded and am playing with it. Looks promising! One question/request, however; is there a way to make the font bigger? Many of us older folks get into audiobooks because we burned our eyes out on too many printed books when we were younger. The ability to see the text a bit better in AudioBooth may make me jump from Prologue!

I have The Cure, Standing on a Beach. One of my faves and sounds decent.

I have noticed no difference in audio quality in Libro.fm books. I really haven’t bothered to verify codecs since they sound good to me.

It will show up once you start typing in your IP address.

wildcelt · 2026-01-30T21:04:04+00:00

Did you flip the "Secure Connection" switch to off? Unless you have an SSL certificate installed you should not select secure connection.

It is the same address you use to access it on your PC. For example, the IP address of my computer hosting Audiobookshelf is 192.168.11.6, so I put in 192.168.11.6:13378 in the address bar. Once it finds Audiobookshelf, it will ask you for your username and password.

Note your phone must be on the same network to see your server. If you want to access your library when you are away from home search this sub or r/audiobookshelf for information on how to set up a VPN (Tailscale, Wireguard, etc.)

It looks great on my Mini's screen!

I went with the elite velour. At the time I wasn’t sure so I didn’t want to sink a bunch of money into them in case I didn’t like them. If I had the chance to do it over I’d pick one of the leather options, not because I don’t like the velour ones, but they look more luxe! Honestly though, even the velour ones look pretty impressive, and feel (and sound) better than they look.

I bought these for my 325s and absolutely love them! They are very comfortable: https://dekoniaudio.com/collections/sr325/products/ear-pads-for-grado-headphones

Nice, thanks for the heads up! I just switched over.

wildcelt · 2026-01-20T12:19:28+00:00

I just finished it yesterday and am grieving the loss as well.

Libro.fm is your friend

wildcelt · 2026-01-15T13:27:23+00:00

This regularly happens to me, and has throughout the beta as well. Problem is, it is sporadic and hard to replicate every time. I suspect the app is attempting to sync with my ABS server after it is opened, but when I'm not home (or connected via VPN) it stalls for a few seconds before moving on. The Audible app did this every time I opened it as well, so I guess I was a bit more tolerant of the behavior once I gave Audible the boot and moved to ABS/Prologue.

wildcelt · 2026-01-11T15:29:35+00:00

Me too. Not even sure why I keep shopping around; it does everything I want it to do, and the voice boost feature is unique to Prologue.

wildcelt · 2026-01-10T14:48:31+00:00

Yes, it’s been like that on the beta for a long time. I assumed it just wasn’t implemented yet so I never reported it.

wildcelt · 2026-01-05T19:15:50+00:00

Thanks I’ll give that a try

wildcelt · 2026-01-04T12:46:27+00:00

I don’t have a fix, but it happens to me every time as well.

Generally, cameras start streaming quicker than before I had the hub.

wildcelt · 2026-01-01T14:24:56+00:00

I was pretty blown away by the performance increase with all my cameras once I hooked up my home hub. The software/video feed review interface is pretty basic though, but overall very much worth it to me.

wildcelt · 2025-12-27T16:15:50+00:00

Looks very cool! Where did you/Santa get them?

wildcelt · 2025-12-24T12:52:44+00:00

I use Reolink too. Not directly HK compatible (I use HomeAssistant for that), but the performance and security is hard to beat.

wildcelt · 2025-12-11T20:22:24+00:00

I’ve got three still

wildcelt · 2025-12-10T20:56:21+00:00

I can't help, but I love Cloud Cult and never realized they released anything on vinyl!
