LEARN WITH MAC GEEK GAB
I regularly listen to the Mac Geek Gab podcast. Cool intro music but what I like the most are the quick tips etc. Mind you, most of the time I cannot apply the tips but it's still good to know. My Mac is not at the latest and greatest version of Mac OS X so those tips simply don't apply. Other tips like WiFi meshing or RAID setup also don't help because I don't have the hardware. At least not yet. They do talk about iDevice's iOS and I finally found an applicable tip, namely the Shortcuts app for iPhone and such. It's sort of like programming for the masses. I haven't done much with it but quickly cobbled together two Shortcuts "scripts". One is to turn off Bluetooth then turn on Low Power Mode. I name it Save Energy. Supposedly I should use that script each night before going to bed. In the morning, I would run the Normal Energy script, which undoes those settings. Just something to explore the Shortcuts app. There is an Automation portion of Shortcuts that I haven't explored. Logically, these scripts should run automatically at certain time of the day, as long as the iPhone is on. Something else I will explore is what to play or act when the iPhone sees my car's Bluetooth system. Happy Exploring!
