Got a Neato D3 robot vac today to replace my eufy 11S that met its end via an unfortunate cat puke incident. It has Alexa and Google support but no HomeKit or Siri.

Enter this Shortcuts / IFTTT webhooks guide from Macstories and I can now say “Hey Siri, Start Neato”.

How to Trigger IFTTT Applets with iOS 12’s New Shortcuts App and Siri – MacStories

 

Why is it so hard to get a full photo as my wallpaper? Is there something I need to do to the size?

 

I accidentally turned on Light mode on Mojave today, had a good laugh and went straight back.

ah, those were the days.

 

I'm willing to help you out on this one if you could be just a little bit more specific with what you're asking

 

Apple in 2018: The Six Colors report card
It’s always really interesting to see these report cards. In reading this, I really hope we get some great iPad features with the next version of iOS. (Please let me plug in a hard drive)

 

if they make the iPad even better so help me god. I already had the current iPad Pro but I returned it because I was spending too much unjustifiable time on it.

 

I have the XS Max but this has been a thing since the 6 plus. When I try to set the wallpaper it’s just like really zoomed in. It says to move and scale the image but that doesn’t do anything. I can never get the whole image to fit the screen. Doesn’t matter if I take the photo or get one from online. Unless it specifically says iPhone wallpaper, the entire image does not fit the screen

 

Have you tried disabling the 3D effect on the bottom?

 

Changing between still and perspective? If so, yes

 

Would you mind taking a screenshot?

 

Hmm I never actually looked into it so I googled it and of course the suggestion was to use a wall paper editing app. I had tried resizing photos in different apps and it didn’t work but I downloaded an app called WallpaperSize and that seemed to do the trick. Thanks though

 

Happens with too small images. Need very big ones for the new phone resolutions.

 

Major iPhone FaceTime bug lets you hear the audio of the person you are calling … before they pick up

Oopsies.

 

Sheesh

 

I saw Twitter blowing up about that earlier and didn't believe it until I tried it with some co-workers (who were right next to me lol) and my jaw dropped followed by a loud "holy shit"

 

Looks like they cut off group chat.

 

Gotta wonder if it's been in the software since Group FaceTime came out. Wild.

 

Makes the idea of playing Fortnite on my iPad Pro 12.9 much more compelling than the Nintendo Switch.

 

Does (did) the bug only allow you to hear the audio while the call is ringing for the other person? Would it stop working then once the call ended because it wasn't picked up?

 

Im a newb to shortcuts. But is there away to set low power mode to come at say 10pm each night?

 

nearly $20 billion in profit and $84.3 billion in revenue - second best quarter ever

Apple is doomed

 

After much deliberation, I upgraded to the 11-inch iPad Pro today. I had the 10.5” and it’s still a beast, but it has a crack across the entire screen and I don’t have AppleCare+ on it (doh!) and I didn’t want to pay $450+tax for Apple to fix it. Luckily my mom was dying for an iPad and doesn’t care about the crack, so I could justify my purchase!
