Probably can set up Reminders to do what you want. Have recurring ones that cycle through your preferred cadence (Jr is on MWF, etc). Just keep it locked on Today view. The title can say the responsible party.

I'm starting to see integration of Dark Sky features into the default Weather app. I guess it might be time to get rid of Dark Sky?

Question Mark Mound posted:Anybody tried that "Fatsecret" calorie tracker? Setting aside the weird-rear end name, I'm looking for an alternative to MyFitnessPal which does everything I need but the interface is kind of shoddy unless you pay for a subscription to remove the ad spot. App store classic Lose It! is still very good and my #1 recommend. They even have a widget now and the UI is modern, their database is just as good as MFP's and they have complete feature parity.

MFP doesn’t at all.

It seems like Packages is moving over to a subscription based model. I’m not thrilled but I’m also not entirely sure what the difference would be. It seems they use some syncing method that you only get with a sub, but I wasn’t using it anyway? Not really sure how to feel about it.

Their blog post has info on the changes but tldr if you already paid $5 for it then nothing changes for you unless you used JuneCloud instead of iCloud for some reason. New users will have to pay $5/year to use the app but existing users don’t.

Whoops, yes. Too much time around Linux these days. Good to know it shouldn’t be an impact, though I have to wonder how may people are using that feature and if it warrants the change.

Pulled from the NYC thread:rawillkill posted:The Covid alert app is live. Leave Bluetooth on for the 'live' detection feature, can warn you if somebody with COVID is within 6 ft. of you for longer than 10 minutes. All data is firewalled, no personal ID or info gets transmitted outside your phone, totally anonymized, etc.

Does anyone understand the rules around what determines when/how the calendar shows up on the combo CarPlay screen? I like having more room for the music widget and I can’t uninstall the god drat calendar app because Apple makes you have it if you want the date to show on your watch for Christ knows what reason.

Are you sure? The "Chat Backup" text says 'Back up your chat history and media to iCloud' and my total backup size is in the gigabytes which wouldn't make sense if it was just settings.

I’m sure it didn’t work for me but I’m not sure how it is supposed to work. I think I might have disabled iCloud backup in favour of the built backup as otherwise it backs up twice? However, the built in backup is not reliable at all it seems.

Typically a “critique” is detailed or analytical, your first response didn’t critique anything. You could, perhaps, provide someone else’s analysis of how it’s intended to work, potential pitfalls, etc. instead of using more words than necessary to say “nuh uh.”

Lutha Mahtin posted:i didn't write much initially I get the part, but you kinda dumped on someone making a pretty benign mistake (IMO) and that’s gonna get a “wait, what?” response most of the time I’d bet.Anyway, for people who’re interested: there’s plenty of info about the specs (https://covid19.apple.com/contacttracing) and there’s some relatively easy-to-understand examination of the conceptual shortcomings (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/apple-and-googles-covid-19-exposure-notification-api-questions-and-answers) with having third parties implement this API (older, but still relevant in this case AFAIK). There’s more out there as well, though it’ll take a minute for people to dig through this specific implementation. Long story short, the actual exposure notification part itself is AFAIK fine, and Apple and Google have been relatively open and made changes based on community suggestions and research. The privacy issues are most relevant when it comes to the implementation of that work, and are worth looking into before using. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Oct 4, 2020 |

What sounds happened is that whatsapp never backups unless it has wifi connectivity at late night and sometimes iphones lose wifi connectivity while locked so whatsapp fails to backup.

This sounds very plausible. I also read that WhatsApp needs 2.05 times the size of the backup free in iCloud to backup but it doesn’t seem to tell you this when it’s trying, it just sits there stuck on a % forever. As I often tried to manually back it up when it would complain.

Is there any way to tell if IAP are across family sharing? I would like to get a flash card type math app (Big Math Flash Cards) so my kid can have it on his ipad, but not sure if I must purchase the IAP on his device or what.

That studyblue/chegg looks nice but a bit more advanced that what I need, my boy is 8 and just needs to work on getting faster with adding/subtracting relatively simple stuff. Just wish the family sharing stuff was a bit more obvious for letting you know if it the IAP unlocks across it or just for the one user etc..
