If you wanted to explain to a 10 year old how a button or switch can change between two things, like AM or FM on a radio, but didn't want to use a radio because it may be outdated... what example might you use?

Trying to get Home automation to check the power state of a lamp and send a notification if it's on. "Get Desk Power State" outputs "Yes" when running the action through Shortcuts and testing the automation in the Home app but the action outputs "No" when the automation is run in the background at a time of day. Does anyone know why that is and know of a workaround?

After 10 long years, everyone can FINALLY experience my Nintendo emulator @delta!

This is honestly a dream come true, and I hope everyone enjoys replaying their favorite retro games 💜

Gotta love when companies are surprised by Apple and paint them as the bad guy when literally anyone who knows Apple could have predicted this https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/8/23994089/apple-beeper-mini-android-blocked-imessage-app

It’s a tough call whether I like the textured or smooth better…

I’m looking to #commission an articulated 3D model.

Background: I’m a trustee at Marley’s Ferret Rescue and Rehoming (https://www.marleysferretrescue.co.uk) and we’re setting up an online charity merch store to become self-sufficient. We rely on donations, and are barely scraping by.

One of the items we want to sell is a “fidget ferret” - an articulated ferret similar to the photo on this post!

I’ve tried designing it myself, and have run into the limits of my CAD design abilities 😂

The main thing that makes me curious about alternate economic systems is facts like a top 5% salary in the UK being £80k/year. Statistically that makes you 'rich', but it just.... doesn't. Rich is Lamborghinis and yachts, £80k pre-tax is maybe being able to afford a house in whichever major city you have to live for work and having a rainy day fund. I hate that we all just accept that having even moderate financial stability is to have made it, when in reality homeownership and not retiring below the poverty line should be the literal bare minimum that everyone deserves.

The UK government are planning to follow China and require security vulnerabilities be reported centrally and then remain unpatched to allow Five Eyes access. https://www.justsecurity.org/87615/changes-to-uk-surveillance-regime-may-violate-international-law/

Welcome to part 7 of the series on How to Fix a Hole in the Shed Floor. In this episode, we fix the hole in the #shed floor with a golden screw -- ok it was a brown deck screw, but you get the idea!

In between the heat and rain this week I managed to get the deck and ramp framed, taped, and covered with the decking. Soon it will be time for the shed, but that should not take long at all as it’s a metal one, but for now, I think I am done with the woodwork.

#diy #SummerProject

The decking has been installed and screwed down on the porch and ramp for the shed. The "golden screw" was the one on the ramp, 2nd board from the top. upper edge. :)

Does every iOS weather app suck?

I'm open to recommendations!

(By "suck" I mean, filled with ads, very expensive, poorly designed, or just plain inaccurate?)

Anyone think this is a bad way of doing ads in-app?

I’m using AdMob banner ads to minimise intrusiveness, and have turned off personalised targeting + analytics (no need for that thank you).

There’s also a way to remove ads entirely, which also unlocks a few app customisation options as a bonus.

Thoughts?
