Android auto is probably the most temperamental, frustrating app ever made. Sometimes only restarting the service will let my VW head unit connect to the phone.

Someone wanna create an app that just finds the Android auto process, kills it, then restarts it? I can throw a few USD your way.

Find out if there's an update for your head unit, it helped me with Android Auto connectivity (in a different brand)

Any interest in creating a command-line app that extracts all the text from a tweet and its replies and saves them to a .txt document?

It's the type of thing that would be useful for saving book recommendations etc. Would also be useful to have options for deleting duplicate lines, saving usernames etc. Although, I get the feeling that there may be API shenanigans that make this complex.

This python code won't do exactly what you're looking for but with a little tweaking and a nested loop, it could.

Right now, it gets the last 20 tweets from USERNAME and dumps them to the screen. It shouldn't take too much effort to modify it to also pull the ID of the tweet and recursively loop through the tree.

[EDIT] It also ignores tweets that have a link in them (the if 't.co' part; it's Twitter's link shortener). That condition can just be removed if we don't want to ignore those tweets.

code:
import snscrape.modules.twitter as sntwitter
import os

# Creating list to append tweet data to
tweets_list2 = []

# Using TwitterSearchScraper to scrape data and append tweets to list
for i, tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('from:USERNAME').get_items()):
    if i > 20:
        break
    if 't.co' not in tweet.content:
        tweets_list2.append(tweet.content)

for tweet in tweets_list2:
    input = input + tweet + "\n\n\n\n"

os.system('clear')
print(input)

Thanks so much. I've been trying to get this to work but keep getting an error "SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character". Is there anything I'm supposed edit about from username? I've tried both '@borisjohnson' and 'borisjohnson' for example and get the same error.

I'm not sure about the error, but to confirm, the search term should be: 'from:borisjohnson' (without the @ sign)

Are you using the script exactly as it was posted or have you modified it? If it's the one posted, make sure the quote characters aren't missing in the line with "\n\n\n\n". It may also be worth verifying those are basic double quotes, and not the fancier ones like “ and ”.

If you've modified it, look for any other potential occurrences of this slash character: \

Make sure they're quoted or escaped properly.

Great job! Looks to be some blend of AHK and javascript?

Yes umm 99% ahk though. It does use an html library for the gui so you might call that javascript related. It makes heavy use of my lodash-clone package "biga.ahk" so the app is written in a js mindset.


One thing I couldn't figure out yet myself is mapping the Enter key to press the Find button. gui/index.js would be the best place to fix this issue.

It also tells you how many posts there are on the page currently (this thread: 12)

Nobody asked for it but I needed this... so here it is. This will switch a monitor's input between two sources (e.g. DP and HDMI) when a specified USB device is connected or disconnected.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/mobby_6kl/apps/DisplaySwitch.rar

I have a cheapo USB KVM switch to toggle betwen my desktop and (usually) work laptop, but it can't switch video, obviously, so I had to toggle the input source manually on the montior. This turned out to be way more annoying than expected, as I'd have to lean close to reach the joystick on the back of it, and who wants to do that.

If you run it without any parameters, it will show a debug window with a list of your monitors and their possible inputs (values like 15, 17 are typical it seems), and when you connect or disconnect a USB HID device, it will show its details. Then you can run it like "displayswitch.exe [part of device id to match] [monitor name] [input when device is connected] [input when device is disconnected]" for example "displayswitch.exe VID_0424 S2721DGF 15 17". It'll run in the background, and when it detects that the USB device is added/removed, it will try to match the monitor based on that name and switch it to the appropriate input. There's little in terms of error checking so good luck!

Humble Request

Problem: I have to manually copy-paste 2 lines of text into two fields, and then repeat x 1000. Highlight and drag text is not an option.

Description and requirements: If I could somehow have a second clipboard and different shortcut to copy/paste from it, this would dramatically reduce how long this takes. It would also generally be convenient to have. This is in a productive Windows environment and Clipboard History must be deacivated. No Windows+V.

Nice to have features: I am imagining ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v. Any keyboard shortcut is fine.




e:

Found a few different solutions, including just enabling Windows clipboard history.

From: whatever. Notepad.

To: Something ancient that was probably made in Java. Inability to select and drag text into it is a bummer. Some normal keyboard shortcuts like ctrl+a don't work for its text fields.

please ignore this post. I found what I was looking for with an app called "ID3 Renamer" at id3renamer.com

I'm looking for a free, open source app that will automatically rename MP3 files based on ID3 tag info, where I can arrange the way the file is named, like if I wanted to rename an mp3 to something like [artist][album year][album name][track #][track name] or something like that.

Anybody know of any good apps that do this?

NOT Plex, because (and sorry I didn't specify this) I want it to auto stream, and have everyone that goes to see the same thing, like television or radio. I don't want visitors to pick what's playing.
