@lauren @mmasnick The phone company did this too. First you had to rent phones from them, then pay for each device connected. One of the ways they found "illegal" phones was the voltage drop from the number of phones that rang for an incoming call. So phone makers added a switch to turn off the ringer.First phone mute button was for pirate phones.

@lauren @sinabhfuil @mmasnick Is the howl the strobing tone you'd get when you left a handset off hook? I remember us getting the North American tone on the Wikipedia page, but never heard it referred to as a howl. Jeez, I haven't heard that in forever.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-hook_tone

@lauren @JRBuckley @mmasnick this is like the 4 extra buttons military phones had.

@misty that kicks off some flashbacks. I remember when it was a great feature that monitors had a built-in degaussing function.And also magnetic tip screw drivers were verboten.

@tante but AI can write malware, soon it will make it's own botnet and survive shutdown by living on IoT devices!

@mjg59 I like the Aqara temp & humidity sensors. Used those to turn my dehumidifier into a smart one. Requires a hub though.

“I know, I’ll write that shortcut I’ve been thinking about”.5 shortcuts later I can pull data from weather app, habit app, to-do app and calendar, build a big ‘ole “here’s your day, now get to it!” report and dump it all into a daily note in Obsidian.Weather app => Carrot WeatherHabit app => StreaksTo-do app => OmniFocusCalendar app => Fantastical

Fantastical was the trickiest, but if I want access to my work calendar I have to use it (last I checked Apple Calendar supports Exchange but not Office 365 Outlook).Fantastical doesn’t have a “Find Event” action. Instead I use Show Schedule to get events for a date and loop through the days I want.

Putting a note into Obsidian is also tricky, but that’s because it requires the use of the 3rd party Actions for Obsidian, which is tricky to set up, but once setup the actions themselves are easy.

I suspect if you look into the forced sale of TikTok you’ll find lobbyists for Meta & YouTube behind it.

With Apple's lightening up on emulators would be really interesting to see PICO-8 make it onto the app store. Not technically a retro game console, but fantasy emulators should be allowed too.
