Re: water app guy (sorry for the derail)

Although your question was funny, I relate in some way since I'm usually never thirsty and wanted to start drinking 2 liters of water per day (thirst will prevent you from dying but not from making your kidneys work more than they should).

What I found useful is: just have a large glass of water between you and your keyboard while you're working/at home. You'll find yourself drinking that up unconciously just to entertain your hands from time to time.

$2 for my actually helpful advice

Is there any way to get google.com, in safari, to remember that I want it to have access to my location? It asks me every loving time I do a google search and I always say yes.

Same thing happens to me. No idea how to fix it.

Hey all... I really want to give Home in ios10 a fair shake. Learning it now. My only issue so far is my office has 2 lights in it but is named DefaultRoom. I can't delete the room, I can't change its name, etc.

Anyone know how I can get those lights moved to a new room named Office?

I wish you could assign each of ecobee' room sensors to the appropriate room rather than only seeing 1 temperature on Home (the house average)

Does iOS 10 Maps have a way to send your destination to a different routing app, like you could in older iOS versions?

3D touch the location and then tap Share
E: doesn't look like it shares to Google Maps but it shares to Truecaller for some reason so YMMV

WTF?
I'm trying to have my mother-in-law set up Google Photos on her iPhone, and she's worried about the permissions (she's in info sec, so she does have legitimate concerns like not wanting her receipts in the cloudbutt). Evidently the first thing Google Photos does on iOS is ask if you want to allow it to back up all your photos, and it doesn't seem like there's a way to prevent it. Since this is a remote situation, can anyone help me figure out if there's a way to only back up specific photos/albums from the get-go?

Yes, there is no way I'm ever paying for apps via this new subscription pricing BS. I want a one off, perpetual license for software that I pay for, and no recurring fees.

A certain amount of work is required every year to keep an app updated for new OS and hardware releases, and to stay really good huge chunks of the app are going to have to be rethought and redesigned as the OS and its ecosystem change. How many years of support and updates does $5 paid for Overcast in 2014 entitle you to?

I think you tap and hold the lights like how you would move apps. Trying to remember if that's Home or the Hue app, so your mileage may vary.

Your body actually has a built-in indicator that you are drinking enough water! If your pee is bright yellow, drink more (or eat less B12).

Yeah, you could just drink when you're thirsty. People survived for millions of years doing that. And the average lifespan was 35.

There's plenty of ways for your internal tracking of thirst to get hosed up. People in the olden days just died if they didn't drink enough.

I currently have to remind myself to drink constantly. Of course, I'd currently need to drink something like four gallons a day to keep my body working. And I don't, and can't. Also, kidney stones are such a nuisance. I will get kidney stones just drinking when I'm thirsty. As will most of the population, when they age enough.

Kids these days.

Then again, I'm on a ventilator as is. I'd love to keep breathing even when I can't pay attention without clumsy tubing. Is there an app for that?

Some people just don't know the importance of proper hydration. Sure it helps with your sports performances, but kidney stones are so goddamn uncomfortable they teach you the lesson permanently the first time - and being healthy doesn't help you any unless you're also young. And not even then depending on circumstances, like data from the US military shows.

Everyone mocking you for using a water reminder app is wrong, but on the upside they won't avoid the indignities of aging either.
