Plex is pretty badass, but for the setup you're describing I think a Chromecast might actually serve you better (which has Plex support). That way you don't have to make your phone the workhorse.. you use it as a remote which is way cooler. https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201812818-Cast-from-iOS But I guess that doesn't help you if you're set on the AppleTV. It is something to think about though.

I'm pretty sure the Music app was designed for people who only listen to two or three artists, because once you get beyond that it quickly becomes impossible to find anything quickly.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Yes. Yes it is. The other blood sugar tracking apps in the App Store are all for Type-2 fatties, not broken snowflakes like me last I checked. MyNetDiary has a diabetic version that isn't too bad. I don't know anything about how the British measure everything, but the app handles mg/dL and mmol/L units. Read the fine print though: they want a subscription to export data. I don't require this so it doesn't bother me but it's probably a deal breaker for most. Also no healthkit integration, so there's that too.

But it's perfectly reasonable that our pocket computers be able to log data in a sensible manner.

No shenanigans from ServerAuditor.  They do have a "premium" subscription option that stores keys and poo poo in their cloud service but that stuff is stupid and it works fine without it (doesn't even nag you to upgrade). Their app name is pretty dumb too but it's a good ssh client.

There's an iOS music thread here, but it's pretty quiet these days: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3364734 Animoog is fantastic fun to play with. GlitchMachine and BitWiz are really good for 8 bit squelches. SunreizerXS is a great synth. MoDrum, BassLine and FunkBox are worth a look to see if that's the sort of thing you want, what they do they do well. SunVox and NanoStudio are my favorite song editors.

Roobsa posted:Is there a TV tracker app that lets you see what's already been aired? I thought TeeVee would be perfect but you can't view what's already been shown (unless I'm missing something). I'm in the UK so US shows disappear off my list overnight, which obviously isn't convenient for when I wake up. Did you try Episodes? I haven't used it for a while, but once upon a time when I did I was really happy with how it let me keep track of what I have and haven't watched.

If you don't want to use iTunes, there's an app called Air Sharing you can use to get movies onto your iOS device.. they still have to be in a video format that iOS supports, but you don't need any special software to get stuff on your device. It basically fires up a small web server on your phone and you use webdav to copy stuff to it. Not sure if it's still on the app store, they stopped updating it sometime around iOS 7.

The Devil Tesla posted:How would you do that? the 1password extension only copies two things and only the ones you specifically tell it to. I have no idea but that's the fun part about exploits, really smart nerds manage to break it anyways. Password managers are probably going to become the next big hacking target, it's only a matter of time before there's an exploit found and a lot of people have every single one of their accounts hijacked. Obscurity is what's protected them so far, but now that they're mainstream it's going to draw a lot of attention. Still an extremely important and valuable tool and I'm not suggesting anyone abandon the practice, just be super cautious about what you grant access to.

Has the youtube official app performance gone to poo poo lately for anyone, or is it just my 5 starting to show its age? Most notably rotating from portrait to landscape takes forever and it sometimes freaks out and spews gui elements all over the video after rotating.

Because storage is still relatively expensive.. a single hard drive is cheap, but thousands of them use a ton of power, take a ton of space, and are really loving heavy. Plus then you have to build out the network to get data in and out of those hard drives at reasonable speeds. From a data crunching perspective a few megs from many people is probably more useful than massive chunks of data from a few people too.

Unacknowledged posted:I bought sleepCycle the other night and wanted to know from other users if I have to set the alarm every night or if I can just schedule it. No, it's a thing you have to launch and press start every night. It does save your last entered time though so it's not a complete start from scratch. If you want automatic scheduled alarms, use the stock Clock app. I mean I'm sure there's other alarm apps out there that allow ridiculous spergy schedules, but the default app works just fine.

I haven't played super mario bros in 20 years. I could play it because it's out there: I could hunt down hardware or even pirate it and run it in an emulator. But I don't, because it's an old game and even though I loved it as a kid there's nothing to pull me back and there's lots of new stuff to play anyways.

It's a dirty hack, but my solution to fixing the youtube problem was to set up an RSS aggregator on my private server and add the channels I'm interested in as sources. The old youtube api is gone but you can still get RSS feeds if you hunt down the url they use for it. Then I deleted the youtube app and now I just watch videos in safari. This kills off the ads, too!
