There are a lot of integrations available for Slack so you might be able to use something to make a more prominent notification. I know that I get prompted about Slack messages in the App on my computer, and then a notification that buzzes my phone, and also one that buzzes my watch.

Nice update, I finally found the company that wrote the old messenger app that they use at the office and they have an updated one that does the multiple platforms for the same user which is what I needed. So no learning curve. Woot! Thanks, ND.

I know the new apple air tags are just tiles only probably more expensive but I want them anyway?

Yeah my only problem is what I really need one for is my AirPods case. and it looks like they are too big to just stick on the back. Not cool!!

From what I have read, the Apple air tags are actually better than Tile, I mean as long as you have an iPhone.

The number of likes on my Instagram posts has gone down by 50% in the past few days. Simultaneously, IG has been spamming me to upgrade to a business account and pay to promote my posts.
I just want people to see my art, and IG holding my art hostage until I pay. They're not even being subtle about it.

Jesus, Tom, that's horrific.

Tuesday night my iPhone updated its iOS & now my podcasts won’t load. I can access the app but my library won’t load - is there anything I can do about this?

Does anybody know of a good PC time-tracking app that will automatically track where I spend my time on my computer? I know these must exist since I know companies track their employees this way, but I can't seem to find something simple that does what I want it to.
Basically I want something that I turn on at the beginning of the day when I turn on my laptop, and that when I turn it off at the end of the day, it will tell me "You spent X minutes in Excel, Y minutes in Adobe Acrobat, Z minutes in Word, P minutes in email, D minutes in Twitter, and Q minutes in that game you shouldn't be playing while working."
I don't need to assign time to specific projects, or know what specific files I've been using (though I suppose knowing the files I open would be nice). I'm torn on whether I actually want it tracking my internet activity but I do use search, online dictionaries & style guides, wikipedia, etc. for work, so it would be good to know where I am when I'm in my browser.
The key feature should be that it in no way requires me to take action when I stop working for 15 minutes to read Twitter.
