I’ve been using my Tado thermostat for the past 5 years without any issue. It integrates well with HomeKit and home assistant. Its radiator valves are great at separating the heat around my home.
For smoke / CO detectors, I just have dumb ones. But I’ve noticed my HomePod mini has urgent notifications when they sound. Don’t know how accurate these are as they require sound recognition.
I can confirm the extensions work well together.
You can also apply it when watching a YouTube video by appending “&wadsworth=1” to the url.
My high street bank in the UK is also offering 4%.
Long cats are the best. Their stretch shows how comfortable they are around you.
It’s always reassuring to see them taking care of themselves!
I have to second vinegar. It’s absolutely perfect in all my Apple devices. It works by switching the YouTube player to a much faster HTML5 video player. So it’s much faster, you get iOS’s built scrubbing, PiP, and ad-blocking.
You’re probably right. The main reason for him approaching me is to tell me off about his food situation.
I’m so glad the icon artists are helping out. It’s quite inspiring that Christian has managed to bring so many different talents together in the last few weeks.
i don’t have a solution yet for the media playback. Mainly because I don’t seem to have stumbled upon many gifs / videos on Lemmy yet.
However for the stale posts issue, I’ve found sorting by new or new comments seem to be the best way to get fresh posts. I’ve also put in a feature request for the hide read posts feature to the Wefwef dev. Hopefully they get a chance soon to consider it!
I think ultimately it depends on what your use case is. Comparing Apollo to any web version of Reddit, there were already a few use cases which were definitely superior in my view:
Ultimately, as with any tool, the best tool is the one you have on you.
Someone managed to find a video of the song.
I can definitely attest to this advice. Learning how to search for answers, and parse options builds a whole of confidence when you’re trying to solve something.
And nothing makes you search for answers more than having a problem to solve.
If you miss the UI of Apollo, give wefwef a go. Add it to your Home Screen from Safari, and it’s pretty close as it gets to Apollo for Lemmy.
This reminds me on why I turned off personalised ads on Google many years ago.
I work as a psychiatrist, and regularly have to search for literature surrounding the medications I prescribe (like antidepressants). After a few months of practice, Google started having ads that start with “if you’re depressed, have you tried… ?” Or the more click-baity “so-and-so have tried … and you won’t believe what happens next! ”
It was funny the first few times, thinking that Google must have profiled me as depressed.
Vinegar on safari for iOS / macOS is probably the extension I find the most useful day to day. It replaces the usual YouTube video player with a standard html5 player. So no ads, and support for PiP.
Interestingly the $/£5 YouTube app being referenced in the article was whipped up by Christian, the dev of Apollo for Reddit. A post on his website details how’s he managed to get a relatively custom UI and video player using what appears to be browser extensions and the YouTube public API.
