Does anyone know if there’s a way for Shortcuts in iOS to launch an app with one of the app’s long-press quick actions? Would be useful for some apps combined with the back-tap action in iOS 14.

It’s raining super heavily this morning (no wind). Some bastard thought it’d be funny to open our letterbox so it filled with water.
Without thinking I went to the shed, grabbed my drill and drilled 4 holes in the bottom of the letterbox. Problem solved, forever, bastard.
Thanks Safari! (PiHole would have caught the rest I imagine).
The trailer for The Mandalorian Season 2 looks… pretty good.
I’m using 230 GB of our family 2TB worth of iCloud drive/storage. Apple One Premier doesn’t look like it’ll be an option in New Zealand.. so… 🤷🏻♂️
I was called a young man the other day. Which was surprising because I’m definitely middle aged now. The man I was talking to said “nah, you’ve got most of your life still ahead of you, you’re young.” It was nice to hear.
Does anyone else have a Ubiquiti Amplifi, and find their Teleport VPN only works as if they’re on their local network if they’re on GSM, but not on someone else’s wifi?
A fascinating article from Untappd where they graph and discuss the massive shift in check-in locations for people who log their beers in reaction to COVID-19.
The battery on this iPhone XR, 2 years in is pretty shocking. 11 hours after I unplugged it it’s sitting here at 73%.
If I were to buy one of the new XBoxes, why would I buy the big one?
I quite like how when my iPad and iPhone are sitting next to each other and I “Hey Siri”, they both wake up, negotiate with each other who’s listening, and then one takes over and attempts to do what I’ve asked.
I’m attending a home brew competition on Friday. One of the beers is a bit of a disaster in that it’s slightly over carbonated and pouring will be a challenge. The other beer was grains last Friday, and I’ve used a bizarre yeast strain to ferment and carbonate it in 6 days.
The internet is a giant mail order catalogue.
Masks are great for crushingly introverted people like me:
Light, and gravity, travel at the speed of light. When you look up at the night sky, it has never been in the arrangement you see, what you’re seeing is light and gravitational echos going back hundreds, thousands and millions of years.
World’s best stout? We’ll see about that!
This makes me about ten times more likely to buy something. It’s so frictionless.
It’s Father’s Day tomorrow in New Zealand, so Iet’s start a thread with your best dad jokes. I’ll start.
What’s an astronaut’s favourite key? The space bar.
This looks super fun: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.
When I write things on the internet and then read them again later, I often wonder whether or not I have a command of the English language.
“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
The egg. Eggs had been around for hundreds of millions of years before chickens strolled onto the scene.
Apple, Google and all other large companies that lean heavily on Wikipedia, should be funding it through no-strings-attaches donations. It’d be a rounding error for most companies.
Asterix is the best comic book character. You know why? He and his absolute unit of a friend took on Corona Virus way back before it was cool. (French Asterix, not photoshopped).
Youtube: “Ah, I see you’re viewing this video on a 5K iMac with a 100 Mbs fibre connection to the internet. Let me just automatically set your resolution to the lowest possible setting.”
“Employee gets fired for inventing indestructible thing” is my favourite genre of ridiculous advertising premises.
