I'm guessing the answer is no, but I recently converted to iOS from android and is there any way for me to get Swype without having bought it (on iOS) before they pulled it from the app store?

But the google keyboard replacement(gboard) is good and supports swype typing.

Its word recognition is mediocre; you can't add words to the dictionary, only replacement text; half the keyboard doesn't have alternate characters via long press; using common symbols like []*=<>~ take four taps when they could be a long press; and it's missing symbols, e.g. the degrees o.

I've been using Gboard since I asked about Swype a few months ago. I've adjusted to it, but it still has some dumb quirks like if you're starting a word with m there's a good chance you'll hit the backspace key and delete your previous word, word recognition isn't as good as Swype (still great), and I'm still not exactly sure how adding words to its dictionary works (I've had words disappear after not using them for a little while. word recognition on added words is noticably worse). still way faster than the default keyboard though

My Spotify student premium lapsed for a day and I got downgraded to a free account during it. When re-upped my subscription my app didn't change back to the premium version, so there's no repeat button. Any idea how to fix this? I tried logging out, and deleting the app (individually but not together. also deleting the app didn't log me out somehow?? any idea what's up with that?)

The repeat button has been moved to the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the playback screen, where the queue button used to be.

Is there an iOS equivalent of Vysor? Something that mirrors the devices screen plus allows for a user to control the device from the computer? Everything I've looked at appears to just be screen mirroring only.

Or is this something that can not be done on iOS?

I haven't used it/know if it's what you need, but maybe Duet Display?

So my wife and I now have a kid so we’ve finally set up a shared calendar for events which is good.

She’s going back to work and has a set rotating roster which I set up with custom repeats etc which was easy.

My roster however is 5 days a week with my work being open Monday-Saturday. All my shifts are simple 9-5s though and my day offs are always Sunday and something else but there is no rhyme or reason to it so repeating events won’t work.

Is there a way to just like cut and paste an event , so for example I could set up a Monday 9-5 “teacup @ work” event and then just “paste” it onto my days for the month?

I can’t import from work as we do it on a google sheet calendar :/

Why not create the event Monday-Saturday and just delete the second day off every week?

Google Calendar just changed functionality in the last two hours. When tapping on the address in an event it shows options for opening in Waze and Maps, previously it showed Maps and Google Maps. How do I get it to show Google Maps again?

X-posting from the iPad thread.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, but hoping to describe it and see if anyone know what kind of app may be out there to help.

I'm looking for an app that can very nimbly and quickly handle PDFs and/or images. I want to use my 12.9" pro as more of a hub for my guitar practicing/playing. I'm still very early in my journey and am taking my lessons. I get a lot of sheet music / notes from my instructor that I use pretty much religiously, but would be nice to shuffle them around (like I do in reality) in a linear fashion without much fuss.

I was initially thinking of OneNote, but the interface is a bit clunky and if I wanted to 'rearrange' the order of my pages, it's a PITA. So I'm picturing an app that is very loose with the structure of the pages and can reorder them in almost an infinite flow on the X axis, but also serve to organize them as they get more numerous. Perhaps into binders?

Sorry if that sounds odd, but trying to figure out how I want to organize my materials but also not be too restrictive and put a barrier between myself and the music.

I posted a longer response there, but ForScore! PM if you have any specific questions :)

Does anyone have any thoughts on EpocCam vs iVCam vs Camera for OBS Studio vs anything else? Are they all functionally the same? Seems like they all only support up to 1080p, and none do 4k?

mine does a cool thing where sometimes it replaces ‘s at the end of words with .’a

I swipe almost exclusively and it’s pretty good, except for this happening, group is often replaced with grotto (a word I’ve never intentionally used until right now), and a few other occasional weird errors (oh, and word/weird being wrong half the time regardless of which one I’m trying to use)

I remember reading I think it was the iPhone thread where someone was asking that same question because the app was showing a conversation from a dead relative and they really would rather have not seen that every time.

iirc it was an ex with messages from just before a nasty breakup, and also iirc reformatting fixed it? it’s def the nuclear option

Question Mark Mound posted:

Does anyone remember the Uniqlo Wake Up app from like 7 or 8 years ago? It was an alarm clock app that would play music based on the current weather and a really relaxing singsong voice would read the time out like “Good morning, the time is 7:05am on Tuesday. Today is partly cloudy.”

I’d really like something like this again but I can’t find anything that really does it quite so nicely.

don’t be surprised when they choose a college on the other side of the country to get away from you, when their relationships are all with people who stalk them like you do, or when they stop talking to you the second you’re not providing financial incentives to do so

I mentioned it in the infosec thread in SH/HC, but 1PW7 is the end of the line for non-subscription use of 1Password.

1Password 8 will require a 1Password.com/.ca/.eu account to use, and will only support the hosted vaults, not iCloud/Dropbox/local vaults.

Something to keep in mind as you plan for the future.


They are offering a few deals to make switching a little more enticing though.

this might get me to switch entirely to apple keychain. any reason I shouldn't?
