The best Live Activities in iOS 16.1
Sports Alerts supports live activities and is one of the most comprehensive sports score tracking apps I've seen. Available for iOS/iPadOS/WatchOS/macOS.
Note that I hate ads on mobile, so I immediately paid for the ad removal, so if you try it - your experience may vary. -
WaterField Design's Mac Studio Travel Bag holds your Mac and its accessories
I have plenty of Pelican cases and Waterfield bags. Pelican cases are certainly durable, but the Waterfield cases are well designed, well protected (sure, they are soft-sided, so not as much as a pelican) and elegant. Unless I'm shipping something, personally I would prefer a Waterfield, but that's me.
However, I wouldn't consider it a waste. It's a matter of choice. -
Amazon launches native Prime Video app for Mac
Asha said:Just downloaded it to try. It won’t go full screen. Both the menu command and the green dot are grayed out. MacBook Pro late 2013, but running latest version of Big Sur.Of well, back to using the browser -
This may be why Apple's Weather app doesn't show 69-degree temperatures
dewme said:mike1 said:Somewhat related, though not as funny, is why on earth there is no Weather App for the iPad. Boggles the mind.
Full boggle indeed. I use Dark Sky on all of my iOS and iPad devices and its been put on the cut list. Not sure what I'll do when Dark Sky is no longer available. Hopefully Apple's next gen weather app will be present on iPadOS. I used to use Weather Underground, but it went completely off the rails and straight into the crapper when it was acquired by a larger weather agency.
Snowflake (really nice interface)
Storm Shield (incredible for alerts)
WeatherMate (this one has kinda dropped in accuracy IMO) -
Elgato Stream Deck review: A Mac accessory you didn't realize you need
I have 5 StreamDecks. 2 x 15 button, 3 x 32 button. 2 are on my MacPro, 3 are on my Windows gaming system (for flight simulator controls).
I use the heck out of the one on my Mac. Why? Mostly because I use MailTags in mail and probably have 70-80 keywords. Instead of having to use a menu or memorize hundreds of key commands, I have an entire StreamDeck profile for Mail with multiple levels. So I have a button for each mail tag. Since you can have a profile per app (and have it auto switch to that profile when that app is the foreground, and you can have layers of folders in profiles. There really is no practical limit to the number of buttons you can have. I have a key for switching to a raw message source of an email, copying it and pasting it into another app (retain receipts).
I have integrated my stream decks with my Home Automation software (Indigo) so I can open a garage door while sitting at my Mac by pushing a single button. No need to open an app, no need to argue with Siri what I meant.
Note it is actually a single display under the buttons. The buttons are just clear plastic.
