WithoutTheFezOn posted:Not sure what you mean by "sync" if shared albums work, and uploads work, and new photos are downloaded. Like for example if I edit or delete a photo on my PC, that change isn't reflected back to the iCloud. That's how stuff like Google Drive works. The only way I can make changes to the iCloud photos (aside from uploading new ones) is to do it on the phone itself. (I double checked and the Shared Albums actually don't 'sync' either, they just download new images the same way) Like, it's certainly workable, but I much prefer the way the Google Drive can sync up the folders 1:1 between all devices.

iCloud on Windows is pretty poo poo, like most apple on Windows software they implement the minimum to claim it's supported and move on. I just use iCloud.com on my Windows machine.

Wonder what happens if you set the download and upload directories to the same place. Will it suck all the bandwidth out of the universe in a hellish loop of cat picture transmission?

Is it okay to plug my latest app? I just re-released PopSpotter, which will show you filming locations and pop culture references near you (US only). https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/popspotter/id564557375?mt=8 I made this a few years ago (around iOS 6), but I updated it for modern iOS versions, refreshed the look, and swapped out the backend for a much better one. Now it'll be much easier for me to roll in new content. Right now there are several hundred places in there, but plenty more to come.

hedgecore posted:Is it okay to plug my latest app? Just tried it out and great idea but two comments- first, all the fuchsia is kinda making my eyes bleed, and second it's pulling up locations nowhere near me when I do a "Near You" search. Like, I'm in Austin, TX, so it finding the Office Space locations is great, but why is it also returning the Ferris Bueller locations in Chicago, and Breaking Bad spots in Albuquerque?

I'm looking at getting some more furniture and rearranging my apartment a bit. The problem is it is quite small. Is there an app that I could use to measure my place, get dimensions and all that, and then throw in my furniture and arrange it on there? There look to be quite a few similar things on the app store but I was curious if anyone had any recommendations.

I kinda asked before, but I'm still looking for an app that can give me a remote keyboard for windows 10 on my ipad, but can do at least one crucial thing: open the projector selection (windows+p) so I can actually change my PC over to my TV when I'm on the sofa and want to play a game on it. I've tried Intel's remote keyboard thing and Remote Mouse, and in both cases it just opens the start menu as if I hadn't pushed p at all. There are various other problems I have run into but that is kind of key. Is that a thing that is just deliberately impossible in Windows for security reasons, or is there any way around it? edit: is there any way using Bluetooth rather than the wireless system, for example?

There is kind of a hacky solution using drop box and transmission (maybe utorrent as well) Basically you save download the torrent to Dropbox and make that a watched folder for Transmission that will automatically add the torrent to itself and started downloading.

If I wanted my computer to do something, I'd just use a remote desktop app. Clicking a torrent link (or any link for that matter) on a phone and having something else start the download is such an obscure feature I can't imagine anyone's put the effort into implementing something like that.

You might be able to get away with using the free version, but I haven't tested out the keyboard functionality since I mainly use it to power my PC on and off.

Teamviewer will let you do this, just tried it out myself. Teamviewer in general just works with anything Windows security related, it's invaluable to have around for something like a Steam Link or other remote box that shits itself when an elevated app pops up.

Can anyone recommend a really good flowcharting app? I have a Pro + Pencil, and would ideally have something that lets me sketch what I need and then the app makes it pretty. Edit: As in I draw stuff freehand and it vectorizes/simplifies it to standard flowchart shapes etc.

metztli posted:Can anyone recommend a really good flowcharting app? I have a Pro + Pencil, and would ideally have something that lets me sketch what I need and then the app makes it pretty. Most of the decent note-taking apps like Notability and Good Notes will do basic shapes with Pencil support. I'm not sure it will let you sketch it out and then pretty it up. It's more you put them into "shape" mode and sketch a rectangle and it makes a proper rectangle. As far as "really good" flowcharting app, you won't go better than OmniGraffle. But you definitely want to get work to buy it for you unless you have a lot of disposable income. If you want to manipulate VXD format, you'll need the pro upgrade (additional $49.99). It does have some layout issues with older format VSD files, but I almost never come across those anymore at work. It will also work well with the OS X version. I'm not in a position to test it with the Pencil (I forgot it on my desk at work), but I don't see anything showing it supports it past iOS treating it as just another stylus.

A while back we talked about Tv show tracker apps. I got the recommended one, the app icon is just called "Shows". Not sure if that is the full name or just an icon abbreviation. Anyhow, I like it, but it keeps getting poo poo wrong. Anyone know why? Last night it takes of me Limitless was on but it is not until next week. Tonight it told me Arrow is on but it took a one month (or whatever) break.

I also have the Shows app and see the same thing. I think it's an issue from their source as a number of shows are seeing weird updates or lack of updates.

Hey thread I have some potentially dumb questions. Firstly, how much of a drain on battery is the citymapper widget? Second, I've finally given up with the stock mail app. If I'm using gmail what 3rd party app should I be using? I just downloaded Inbox and it seems pretty good. Finally what's the best swype style keyboard at the moment. I've tried swiftkey and swype and am currently using touch pal which is fine but some suggestions are emojis which is

Keyboard support isn't so bad after 9.2 in my experience, and Nintype is still the best 3rd party keyboard, hands down. I don't know how the CityMapper widget works, but it'll really depend on how it uses your GPS - filled GPS icon means a pretty sizable drain, empty icon means less but still really noticeable in my experience, so you'll probably need to test-drive it yourself. If you're using it to locate nearby bus stops and their arrival times, I'd suggest checking out Transit if it supports your city - its widget doesn't start using your GPS until you pull down the Notification Center. I use Inbox personally because it suits my needs, but some people here like Spark and Outlook.

1Blocker is loving up again and leaving pages even ones like the Google search result page half unrendered/blank and forcing me to hit stop, refresh without content blockers in order to get a drat page loaded. The last time this happened their support suggested I get rid of custom blocking rules of which I only had one (to block The Deck ads) but now I only have the defaults. Before they got back to me on how to fix that issue that last time I used Adamant in the interim and now I'm just deleting 1Blocker and replacing it with Adamant because screw this.

I've definitely noticed a couple different content blockers are having issues with quite a few sites lately. Specifically it seems like the CSS of sites are being blocked more frequently and I'm not sure if sites are doing it intentionally or it's just a weird side effect.

Third party keyboard support is terrible and not worth it. Nintype is interesting if you've ever wanted typing to be like playing a video game, I guess.
