You might be able to create a very convoluted way by scheduling a Shortcut every few minutes that pulls the latest SpO2 records from Health and if they’re too low, creates an alarm in a minute to wake you up.

But be aware that sleeping on your arm with the watch will also make the readings drop. Also, the Apple Watch only takes a measure every 30 minutes. So it’s probably difficult to catch an apnoea event.

Stock. Now with bilingual support in iOS18 and the smart completions, e.g. for math equations, it’s becoming even better.

No need for reverse engineering - it has already been done: https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos

I figured this when IKEA started throwing out their current model for £5 a pop. Judging by how fast their stock was gone, they‘ll show up on ebay for a hefty markup any time now…

I’ve recently gotten this cheap bulb:

MOES ZigBee Smart LED Bulb, 5W... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C3726G89

The nice thing about it is that it has powerful white and yellow LEDs to get normal lighting from cold to warm. But it also has RGB LEDs that are not as bright and provide nice cozy ambient light.

However, Apple Homekit (bridged via Home Assistant) doesn’t know about this feature, so you have to turn the light bright/cold white before you can change it to bright warm white. Otherwise you’ll get amber light in RGB mode which isn’t nearly as bright.

Apart from that little issue, it’s working great for me.

It’s the only CMS that runs on a classic AMP stack which is still the standard with cheap web hosters. And since everyone and their dog is using it, you can easily find support and ready-to-use plugins for almost anything.

In the car world, WordPress is your plain old petrol car that just runs, can easily be refuelled and you can get anything repaired at every other street corner. That’s why it is still so widespread.

Ghost runs on NodeJS which isn’t available at most cheap webhosters. Also it doesn’t do traditional blog things like pingbacks, trackbacks or webmentions.

BearBlog can’t be self-hosted at all - it says so right on their GitHub’s README.

WriteFreely is a Go binary that - again - isn’t supported on most cheap hosters. Also I can’t seem to find anything about it supporting pingbacks, trackbacks or webmentions. It seems to be more like a one-user Mastodon instance.

RCS dates back to 2007/2008 when it was still called lots of other names. (E.g. Joyn) And since then, not many cell providers adopted it. For all other providers (and those still sitting on an old version of RCS), communication will happen via Google-servers. It basically is a proprietary service under the disguise of a public standard. Especially because of this I’d rather use “proprietary” encrypted chats with it, so Google doesn’t get a copy of all my texts.

RCS at this point is just another Google messenger. And officially unencrypted as well. At least Google recently implemented encryption on top of it and it looks like Apple will adopt it as well.

Back when BlackBerry and their unified inbox (all messages from email, AOL, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, etc. in one single list of messages) was still a thing - did people get bullied because of their choice of messenger?

It pops up on BundleHunt every once in a while.

MountainDuck supports this. They call it “cache on demand”. So you could setup an SFTP connection and use it via that. The next version of MountainDuck - v5 - should even support SMB.
