Ok this is a weird one. I work nights but I need to schedule a text to be sent to my dad at a certain time while I’m sleeping. Googling seems to say that shortcuts will do it but I can’t seem to find one that actually works. Has anyone had any luck getting it to work?

Carrier is Verizon, if it makes a difference. if it's really important and you're on 13.5 or lower, you can jailbreak and there's a tweak that'll let you assign contacts to different categories and filter messages that way.

Does anyone else have a problem with the time picker for Reminders where after you drag the hour or minute scroller to the time you want, it keeps pulling itself back to the old time until your third or fourth attempt? This happens like almost half the time I'm trying to update the time on a future reminder and has been going on for a few months. I was hoping the full flatten and set up as a new device I did on both my iPhone and iPad not long ago might've sorted it (and the myriad of syncing issues with Reminders) but no luck. Apple's support got to the "give us your phone number and we'll call you back at a specified date" stage of problem solving, but then they just didn't call I guess.

lol you can fit like a week's worth of 24/7 recording on a $10 64gb SD card in a Wyze cam with decent-ish HD quality. edit: also the app is super easy to use on my crapple ipwn

Zero VGS posted:Unlike the iPhone 7, the Wyse cams can't do h.265 so I'd need to buy a really big SD card to hit 24 hours on those. For now it comes with a two week trial of the cloud storage so I set it to the highest sensitivity to try to catch everything. I don’t think h.265 matters as much as you think it does. Per Wyze’s site, a 32gb card will get you 2-3 days of continuous HD recording. Which you can currently buy at Best Buy for $13, or less than $10 on Amazon.

Given the filesystem costs and such, you can squeeze around 12 hours of ~acceptable 720p@30fps onto a 32gb card. So if you were recording at 5fps that would be perfectly reasonable, and 5fps isn't totally out of place for security cameras.

Googling seems to say that shortcuts will do it but I can’t seem to find one that actually works. No shortcuts can’t do that for you. In general it can’t do anything for you without putting you in the loop so to speak. It can send you a notification at 3am telling you to press it, which could then run the shortcut to send the text message, but it can’t run the shortcut for you. E: If you can find an email app that lets you schedule emails, you might be able to email to a sms depending on the receiver’s carrier. Verizon for example quote:Compose a new email and use the recipient’s mobile phone number as the email address, with the addition of “@vtext.com” at the end. Maybe IFTTT can also be used to schedule an email. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jun 10, 2020 |

If you have a Mac that is always on and your phone is within range and SMS Continuity is enabled you could probably do it with Automator (dunno if Automator can schedule - if not use a launchd job) Also maybe https://textbelt.com/ if you don't have a Mac

the 5/5s/se leather case is the best case apple ever made. the ones for the 6 and up are pretty good but fall short of perfection. i hope that if they go back to flat edges they also bring back the old cases

Apple's leather cases are bottom-grade leather that's not even a real grade of leather, it's just leather that's not good enough to get a grade.

I don't think they call it "premium," but even if they do it's a perfectly serviceable case that will last years without any issue. You'll be throwing the phone out before the case stops functioning as a case.

Well, by virtue of being an Apple product, it claims to be premium. But beyond that, I concede the point.

I really hope that’s true. I considered both the 11 Pro and the new SE and ultimately decided not to bother. I’d buy a non-huge 12 series immediately if it had flat edges.

I'm an odd duckling with the leather cases. I like them too much, but I also have a small handful of whoopsie daisy accidents in a given year and drop my phone a couple feet down onto concrete and asphalt. This tends to deeply permanently gouge the case which looks and feels bad, but I get a new one when I replace the phone  one time I replaced the case before the phone because it was so gouged.The form factor is never the same anyway. drat the leather cases are perfect though. I know you all like Saddle Brown but try Black sometime. It's a game changer.

The leather ones settle into a perfect amount of grippiness and are pleasant to hold. The silicone ones start out feeling nice and also have perfect grippiness, but as they age it gets even more grippy and dust seems to get glued to it. Eventually the silicone wears off and exposes the ugly plastic underneath.

Rinkles posted:did it protect the screen? Yes!! It's landed face up and face down (this has happened maybe 5 or so times hard onto concrete or asphalt, the most common cause is me being distracted while putting it in my pocket and missing, or my arm is swinging and my phone catches on my jeans..), zero screen damage so far without any protector. My lifestyle is pretty boring though, if I was a lot more active or around hazardous places I may have a more protective case. I'm in general not very clumsy but I use my phone a lot so it's bound to fall a few times, unless you're really skilled at being protective. Rinkles posted:Ain't no SE2 compatible saddle brown leather case, at least on apple.com. (also i thought they were a bit cheaper. $50 is quite a bit) Yes I felt extremely stupid paying $50 for a case -- but it was worth it IMHO. Hugely overpriced and gigantic industry leading profit margins nonetheless. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Jun 11, 2020 |
