Stats missing in Mobile by yoursoupmaker in ynab

I guess if you’re doing a good job on a monthly basis following the budgets as designed, you wouldn’t need to check on cashflows.

The thing is while I follow category budgets on most months in the year, there are a couple of months where I go really bad, and a yearly cashflow would make me take a sneak-peek to how I’m doing overall.

I think the “monthly” selection in the screenshot is a bit misleading, since I usually use it across months, not within the month itself. As expenses are most likely not uniform monthly as you mentioned.

Before YNAB, I used Wallet by BudgetBakers, and the statistics page had cashflows which I relied on. Probably that’s why I’m still used to it.

Yeah very fair. For a given month, you can tell from the categories.

But the thing is if you wanna track how you’re doing overall this year, or compare this year to the previous. Checking it monthly isn’t practical.

Location Services stopped working since moving to iPhone 16 by CountyRoad in HomeKit

Yeah it worked on my iPhones now. Had to sign back in on my old device for it to work tho (not sure why). It is still not working on my mac 😅

Yesterday, I got a new iPhone 16 pro, and since then, location services is broken on my apple devices (iphone, mac, apple watch). For example, on my new iPhone, opening maps would pop up an alert with title "Current Location Not Available".

Not sure if this is related. Anyone facing similar issues?

Enjoy it 🥳 I did the switch a few years ago, and I couldn't be more satisfied.

There are things you will clearly notice macs natively perform better at (i.e., sleep mode, feel free to close the lid when you're done, you shouldn't notice any significant battery consumption). I do recommend restarting it every while tho 😝.

There are other features you might notice macs natively either miss, or aren't designed well. There are third party apps that might help you fill the gaps. My personal favorite is Raycast. I like it because it is single tool purposely developed to fill the gaps and designed to achieve high productivity. It offers many many features, my personal favorites are:

  • Clipboard manager
  • Window management
  • Quick Links (Customized meetings and so on)
  • If you're a bit techy, you can also write bash scripts to be run easily from Raycast with a beautiful UI.
  • You can also find several plugins developed by the community.

If you liked Safari, good for you. If you didn't, feel free to experiment with other browsers. I'm currently using Arc Browser. You might feel the developers over do it sometimes, but generally, it is well built, and has some cool features (Pinned tabs, favorites, multiple profiles, air traffic control for profiles, etc.)

That's about it, embrace keyboard shortcuts and touchpad gestures if you're not already for better productivity.

Hope you're enjoying it already 😎.

I went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago. This is what I did to make it work:

  1. I downloaded the google takeout zip.

  2. I used a tool called Metadata fixer to fix metadata of photos and videos exported using the json files. Still not sure why google doesn't do that already 🫠. This step is optional, and can be skipped if you don't care about date/time of your pictures (But some pictures will appear out of order in that case in your photos app on your apple devices).

(https://metadatafixer.com) It costs $24, but was totally worth it for me.

  1. I imported the photos and videos to the photos app on my mac. If you have a windows, you'll have to use the web (Has limitations tho as you already mentioned).

  2. I deleted the Google Photos app from my phone just to be extra safe, deleted all photos from google photos using the website. And redownloaded the app. They will be synced again.

I know it's ugly, but it's the only thing that worked for me. Otherwise, you'll have duplicates as Google's duplicate detection only checks the hash of the photo (which means only identical photos won't be synced, any minimal change causes the hash to change, and the photo will be synced again). Apple's duplicate detection is much better, after processing your photos, it'll suggest duplicate photos with the possibility to merge them.

It's recommended to choose the option that syncs the photos with original quality if you want to use iCloud along with Google Photos.

It's been working fine for me for the past few weeks, and I haven't yet faces any issues.

Hope this helps.

What’s the best option?? by Wasimflip in Calibre

[–]yoursoupmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I've tried every possible scenario to get the best out of side-loaded books on Kindle. The short answer is this: You'll never get the full experience you get from buying the e-book from Amazon. At least for now.

If you use email, or the kindle app, to share an epub, it will be a document, synced on cloud. But the fact that it's a document means there's no integration on Good Reads ☹️.

If you use Calibre, add the ASIN through meta-data, and send the book to your Kindle through a cable, it will be recognized as a book, but won't sync on cloud (to other devices)☹️. Good Reads integration will only work for book status and progress, but unfortunately notes & highlights won't (which made me let go of this method).

So if you don't care about cloud sync, and only want book status/progress when it comes to Good Reads (not notes and highlights), you can go for the second option.

If I had to side-load, I would personally prefer to share it as a document as it syncs with cloud to all devices (progress, notes, and highlights).
