For the past 2+ years I've been working on this project on and off (mostly off as of late, but I'd love to get back into it again)

MusicLink - a third party music app that does song matchup across streaming services. You can message a friend a link to a song and the app will automatically translate the link to their preferred streaming service. No more getting links to songs on services you don't have and manually looking up music.

That's the core functionality but I'm also building in generative playlists & music discovery tools.

Would you mind telling me how you enabled it? I just downloaded specifically for this feature and I haven't been able to figure it out just yet

Why is this on the front page..? Apple Cash has been around for years. It doesn't even look like they've added anything new unless I'm missing something?

I swear the discover pane content makes tabloids look like respectable news outlets

I don't have one myself but I do like Eufy. I have a few security cameras by them and they store everything locally + still work fine when I block them from communicating outside the local network

Can I ask why it's free? Seems like a great tool but I don't see any obvious monetization (which raises privacy concerns)

I also found that very unclear. It kind of sounds like another...Slack? Maybe?

I loved Designated Survivor but HoC is still better imo. Would love to find some new political dramas!

Hey Ted, I currently use google domains and while I'm pretty happy with that one service I would like to switch away from Google entirely and that is one of the last services of theirs I use. What case can you make for why I should switch to namecheap?

That is not at all what is happening here. They are not 'remotely editing' your hardware any more than a corporate website who puts a support banner on their website for some cause. Siri, much like websites, is a service. Like a website, you are free to not use it if you so choose. Nothing has changed on your device, and if anything this is less of a feature than a banner on a website because you have to specifically invoke these actions.

For a medical reason not related to Covid in any way, I've lived my entire life not being able to smell anything, whatsoever. I'm getting a surgery in two days that should give me a sense of smell. While I'm over the moon excited to be able to smell... I didn't even think about how it would affect taste...

I would love to get rid of my Echos and lock down my network, but I can't find a self-hosted & open source smart home voice solution that can match the Alexa ecosystem. I do have my smart home on a separate network that's highly monitored, but I really wish I could completely lock it down so it couldn't talk to the outside world at all. I would be totally willing to pay for a self-hosted solution to Alexa just for smart home automation/control

I used Credit Karma tax this year and was pleasantly surprised to find how great and frictionless the experience was.
