  • Yes, on iPhone only, though. I like that you can schedule them to run at certain times which is super helpful with home automation. As a former jailbreaker, I used to miss Activator but Shortcuts does everything I need.

    A few good ones:

    1. “I’m being pulled over” will start recording video and stream it as well as text contacts your location. The ACLU put this one out in 2020.
    2. “On my way” will calculate my driving time to home, pad it by a few minutes for stoplights, and text it to my wife.
    3. I have a HomeKit garage door opener/sensor. I have a shortcut that runs at 9pm and texts me and my wife if any of the doors are still open and displays a prompt to close them.

  • I saw it last night on a really big screen, which made it very immersive. The sound, cinematography, and effects were strong. There were only a couple of times that the de-aging was noticeable. I agree that was very well done.

    Overall, I thought it was just ok. It won’t go down as one of my favorite movies; the plot was too forgettable. For my tastes, there was a bit too much action. It had a bit of the exploration/puzzle-solving feel of the originals but not enough.
