jeanofthedead··on iCloud Photos Downloader
I'm a big fan of Parachute Backup for this purpose. https://parachuteapps.com/parachute
jeanofthedead··on Supreme Court temporarily blocks full SNAP benefits even as they'd started to
Cartoonishly villainous.
jeanofthedead··on Smartphones and being present
I’m a big fan of the “Reduce Interruptions” focus mode.
jeanofthedead··on Smartphones and being present
I use SocialFocus for iOS/macOS to block recommended videos, etc. It’s incredibly useful.
jeanofthedead··on YouTube DRM added on ALL videos with TV (TVHTML5) clients
Will this kill extensions like Vinegar for Safari?
jeanofthedead··on My 16-month theanine self-experiment
I use Bevel for this. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bevel-health-performance/id645...
jeanofthedead··on Ente Auth: open-source Authy alternative for 2FA
Any plans to release an Apple Watch app? That’s my one requirement for a 2FA app.
jeanofthedead··on Raivo OTP just deleted all tokens after update and is now asking for money
Ente looks nice, but lacks Apple Watch support. Sticking with 2FAS for now.
jeanofthedead··on Hacking my filter coffee machine
The MoccaMaster has a half-carafe setting that is basically just a lower hotplate temperature and it works well for me.
jeanofthedead··on French authorities label Vitamin D as endocrine disruptor
I don’t think we can call 4-5k IU’s of D3 a day ‘megadosing.’ megadosing is more like 50-100k at a time.
jeanofthedead··on Show HN: Every Breath You Take – Heart Rate Variability Training
The Apple Watch measured HRV when using the Breathe function in the Mindfulness app. Apps like Health, Training Today, and HRV Tracker can help visualize these readings.
jeanofthedead··on Phone.wtf
This is why I love my Apple Watch. Haptic vibrations are really handy!
jeanofthedead··on Phone.wtf
Do you both use iPhones? FaceTime Audio has helped me and my family with regard to crappy audio fidelity. I struggle with “normal” phone calls now, lol.
jeanofthedead··on Phone.wtf
Have everyone set their phone in a big bowl by the door!
jeanofthedead··on Phone.wtf
Mhmm. Talking about pockets when smartwatches exist for this exact reason is so archaic.
jeanofthedead··on Jellyfin: Free software media system
My favorite feature of Infuse is how it clears the Metadata cache every single time I launch the app. Takes about 30-45 seconds for it to show all of my media again. Even with plenty of storage space on my ATV4K.
jeanofthedead··on Did Reddit just destroy mobile browser access?
Fwiw, you can remove the nagging with a free Safari extension for iOS called Sink It: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6449873635
jeanofthedead··on Apollo will close down on June 30th
I can’t access any other form of Reddit using mobileSafari. It’s bizarre, and probably intentional.
jeanofthedead··on A Dump of the Raw Stadia Controller BT Firmware
Would love to know why mine needs to be forgotten and re-paired to my Nvidia Shield every time I use it now.
jeanofthedead··on UT-Austin blocks access to TikTok on campus Wi-Fi networks
Same. Just don't give apps all of the permissions. TikTok doesn't have access to my camera, photo library, microphone, local network, location, etc. It's not that hard.
jeanofthedead··on The Lie That Facebook Sold You
Honest question: how many of your friends are still on Facebook? I remember it being wildly popular when I was in college, but since then, I think that only two of my friends still have accounts.
jeanofthedead··on Spreading deadly pathogens under the disguise of popular music
Pontypool. Pontypool. Pontypool.
jeanofthedead··on Facebook tried to make its platform a healthier place, but it got angrier
I'm a big fan of the FBPurity browser extension for disabling shared links/posts.

jeanofthedead··on Facebook tried to make its platform a healthier place, but it got angrier
Facebook created "Facebook Events," later renamed "Facebook Local" for iOS and Android. And nobody I know has ever heard of it.

https://www.facebook.com/local

jeanofthedead··on You Suddenly Need to Stop Using Google Chrome
Safari. Everything else is just a mobileSafari wrapper, so it seems redundant using anything else unless you have all your passwords tied up in something proprietary.
jeanofthedead··on Brave buys a search engine, promises no tracking, no profiling
You can easily remove cards, top sites, adblock counts, and advertisements from the Brave home page. It's customizable.
jeanofthedead··on Noise pollution hurts the heart
When earplugs fail (as in the case of neighbor's bass, partner's snoring, or rambunctious nocturnal pets), I highly recommend the Bose SleepBuds II. Best purchase of the year for me, and my sleep tracking apps have proven to me that these things work. Might be worth looking into.
jeanofthedead··on Firefox 85 cracks down on supercookies
Same. I got tired of Pihole breaking for one reason or another (although I certainly adore the project). NextDNS works extremely well, provides a native app for every device, runs on my router, and is dead simple to maintain.
jeanofthedead··on AirPods Max
...as far as I'm aware, Spatial Audio does /not/ work on ATV4K. Could you show me where it does?
jeanofthedead··on AirPods Max
Spatial Audio does not work with AppleTV4K, I'm afraid. It only works with compatible iPhones and iPads. This does not replace speakers, subs, etc.
