The latest shortcuts app is able to monitor the charge level and one can configure it as a trigger.

I created a shortcut in iOS that will remind me to unplug.

Hyperfocus is actually one of the odd trades of ADHD. If people with ADHD work on a topic that motivates them, they can easily loose hours just like you describe. However, if the task is too mundane or overwhelming, I can easily procrastinate months on them.

My favourite feature is sorting by price per GB

As discussed here [1], a fairly beefy Ryzen/RTX setup is often found idling around that number.

Also, aren’t desktop CPUs constrained by thermal load at some point or can we use ever bigger coolers? Personally, I find it almost obscene that my desktop PC consumes roughly as much as a good old incandescent lightbulb (60+W) while idling. My laptop uses as much under full load.

Loved it until they introduced a subscription, which was a considerable price increase.

I also found 3. is a self-reinforcing downward spiral (postponed work piling up creating more anxiety, etc.). This one is important to break early on.

4. I am exhausted or did not sleep enough. Sometimes it is difficult to realise / accept that I simply need some downtime. In that case cut yourself some slack.

Can confirm. When I started working in academia, we built very sophisticated Excel models. But every new project would ask form ever more sophisticated sheets and workarounds. Once the calculations took more than a few minutes, I moved on to macros. But at that point I realized that I am using Excel as nothing more than a data container. That finally pushed me to learn Python and I felt never more liberated. Whenever I supervise PhD students now, I push them hard to learn programming early on. I am pretty sure never has any one of them had regret for following my advice. It simply adds a few degrees of freedom to their work.

I love how they don't use SSL.

It is an amphetamine. Go to r/ADHD and read the thousands of enthusiastic stories of people that just took it for the first time and are basically just high. I took medication for a while and it helped me surmount a bunch of issues. Now I can do well without. I never liked the effect on my body and mind.

I read this post from 2015 yesterday and was amused because the guy clearly seemed to have ADHD in my opinion [0]. Then in the comments on HN somebody mentioned that the author recently wrote about being diagnosed at 40, which may be an interesting read here [1]. The author says it was like living the Truman show.

ADHD can be harmful and comes with a bunch of comorbidities that can also develop later in life. If you have trouble listening, tend to hyperfocus on things but also emotional states, etc. I recommend going forward with a diagnosis.

Thanks! That is so funny. The article was screaming ADHD at me all the time while reading it. Especially this feeling of vague anxiety. He basically comes up with typical ADHD coping strategies.

Thrilled to see the iPhone 6s will be supported at least one more year [1] and older versions of iOS will receive security updates [2].

Although it makes me nervous, I think iOS and macOS will continue to move closer together. Big Sur feels already much like iOS.
