Description: I created a Shortcut called “Brush Teeth” that uses a combination of vibrates, timers, and spoken words to help make sure you’re adequately brushing.

I have the Zarvox (US English) voice selected for all of the spoken words, but oftentimes it will use the default voice for one or two of the steps in the shortcut. Sometimes all the steps use the correct voice, and sometimes a random step (or two) will use the default voice.

The shortcut is as follows:

Vibrate
Speak “Go”
Wait 30 seconds
Vibrate
Speak “Switch”
Wait 30 seconds
Vibrate
Speak “Switch”
Wait 30 seconds
Vibrate
Speak “Switch”
Wait 30 seconds
Vibrate
Vibrate
Vibrate
Speak “All done”

I’ve had so many different laptops over the past ~10 years ranging from Dell, ThinkPad, System76, Asus, and now a newer MacBook. I’ve used Windows, Linux, and Mac OS as a daily driver OS. The only Arm chip I’ve had is my current MacBook, but to answer your question, its power efficiency is unmatched compared to anything else I’ve ever had… resulting in crazy battery life as well as a device that doesn’t try to melt a hole through my lap whenever I try and do something even remotely taxing on it.

Not enough - just the cost of doing business.

I don’t disagree. But I think they’re trying to make the nuance that Amazon isn’t the one that sold the item (K-Mart in your example). Instead, the third-party was the seller. And I guess that just makes Amazon a facilitator or something that isn’t responsible.

Cost of doing business ¯\(ツ)/¯

Oh ok, that makes sense. I never looked too closely at the built-in setting, but I just checked and see that it’s dynamic and not something you can set a hard limit on.

I could totally be misunderstanding the problem or question here, but doesn’t Mac OS have a built-in setting/feature to cap the battery charge when left plugged in?

Edit: Made this comment before refreshing the post to see the person above me. What they said.

“Truth-seeking AI” 🤮

Paying someone to manage your investments for you does not mean you’re not an “active” investor. An example of active vs passive investments would be that passive investments usually involve index funds… that is, funds that include virtually “all” stocks and closely resemble the overall makeup and performance of the market as a whole.

As opposed to “active” investments which, as just one example, could include using someone to manage your investments if they are picking individual stocks based on whatever their criteria are for what they think is a “good” investment.

And mine!

Says that for me too. Could it be the difference between USD and Canadian Dollars?

Phew, this was a good reminder since I was meaning to cancel my subscription anyway. It was going to auto renew in 2 days. 😬

Hah yeah that’s what we got too. About the same time too.

2000 or 2001, can’t remember which.

No thank you.
