I had some health issues and haven’t kept up with all the changes in Raycast as I’ve been recovering from surgery. A few weeks ago I used up all my credits and got a notification saying I could top up or wait until October 5th when I get my new credits for the month.

I just checked and now it says I’ve used up all my credits for October and my new credits will arrive on November 5th.

I’ve just been catching up on the changes and does this mean the annual plan I paid for - forgot what it’s called but it says I’m on Pro+ no longer comes with any AI credits? Again, just confused as I noticed an email from a few weeks ago from Raycast saying I’d actually receive double credits up, which is 6k, months until my annual subscription runs out.

Edit: I’ve emailed support and got the same insta-reply I received when I sent an email asking a different question a few months ago where it took about a month to get a reply from their AI support asking if I still needed help. So I posted on here hoping someone may be able to help out.

I just noticed that I can no longer create new folders and can only create projects to organize all my chats. Am I missing something or is the creation of folders no longer possible?

First off, obviously won't do this unless Mario gives his blessing.

I've been using Cinephile and ReadTracker for about four months now and I'm the type of person who goes through every single setting on all my apps to set it up just right. I noticed Cinephile, and ReadTracker, are filled with features and that I'm still finding new things. Plus, we all know Mario rolls out updates faster than we can keep track of.

I figured why not see if anyone here would see the value of tutorial videos that I'd post here where I'd go through each part of Cinephile. For example, the settings app gets its own video. Then the homescreen, etc.

Curious what you all think and if you'd see the value in something like this.

I need some impartial advice.

Back in early 2023 I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a late diagnoses and just a few months prior I was laid off from the second company I worked at where entire teams were wiped out and they went from roughly 15 people across the entire GTM team down to four.

I'll just say that things were not looking good at all and I had expected that I was pretty much on my way out. So work, money... Nothing mattered at this point and I just wanted to enjoy what time I had left. Thankfully, I had amazing doctors and underwent radical treatment and the fact that I'm here right now is nothing short of a miracle and on March 17th I was officially cancer free.

The past five months have been absolutely amazing and I feel like I have a new lease on life. Now that I know things are fine and I'm mentally back to my old self I wanted to enter the market again and we all know how things are going. My huge gap doesn't help though. I was lucky enough to land one interview and after seven rounds of interviews they were ready to give me an offer pending reference checks. The company I was laid off from is in the financial sector and have very strict policies regarding references checks that was in my employment contract; they'll simply provide my titles and dates of employment and nothing else. The first company I worked at has gone through so much turnover (managers, VPs, CRO, AEs, SDRs, etc) that no one I worked with is still there. They were clear they wouldn't accept anyone who wasn't at least a direct manager. I explained the situation and asked for a few days to see if I can reach out to them and asked for a few days. This was on a Friday morning and by Monday morning they sent the standard rejection email.

Besides this, I haven't been able to land even an initial interview and now references are a new worry. So I have two huge issues and frankly I have no clue how to go about things.

And feel free to roast me, but I can't see myself working anywhere besides early stage startups as that's all I know and while I did well closing, I led the first outbound campaign in my second role and absolutely crushed and I miss that rush. Yes, outbound is hard and sucks and I'm sure it's become harder since I did it last, but I genuinely miss it.

I really appreciate any advice at all.

I have a fair amount of notes in Raycast Notes as it's become my main way to capturing and storing notes. I'm currently manually exporting my notes as markdown files to back them up weekly just in case something goes wrong.

I'm curious if someone has suggestions for an easier way of doing this. Thanks so much.

I ran into a situation which is a long story that I won’t bore you all with. I have an iPhone XS Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max. I’ve ordered an external hard drive that won’t arrive for a few weeks and I’m worried that the data on a current hard drive is at risk as the hard drive can die at any moment.

I’m curious if there is a way I can temporarily store files on my two iPhones. I thought if I plugged it into my Mac that I could transfer files to the files app so it appeared in the “On my iPhone” section of the files app.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated especially if I can accomplish this without using any third-party apps.

I'm in my 40s, retired, and live alone. I'm pretty much a recluse and have been thinking of getting a personal assistant, which is something I never dreamed of doing for my personal life. The catalyst was my health problems and the fact that I live alone. So if something were to happen to me it'd probably be months before anyone noticed. I already have a private chefs who makes my meals and does my grocery shopping. And while this might not be the responsibilities of a typical personal assistant, I wanted someone who can check in on me to make sure I'm still alive and simply help me find people for tasks. For example, an interior designer (I've looking to redecorate and feel overwhelmed by the options), shopping for clothes, or on random projects. For example, I recently decided to catalogue my book collection and while I don't mind doing it myself it's incredibly time intensive.

There was a company in the US that helped find c-suite executive assistants which I used before I retired. Unfortunately, they only work within the US and I haven't been able to find anything similar in Toronto.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and happy to give more details if that would help as well. Thanks.

I’m using BookFusion’s new plugin with KOReader on my Kobo Libra Color. I noticed that the highlights I make on the web or iOS app, which much have different colors for different highlights, don’t appear in the respective color on my Kobo Libra Color. Instead they are all the same color.

This isn’t a big issue at all. Just curious if I did something wrong and if there’s a way to sync the color of highlights across all devices.

Thanks!

Sorry if I can’t word this correctly.

I’ve been starting my hoarding project/journey and noticed some fields have added spaces to the start or the end in fields. I created an action using AI to remove them which I believe works so far.

I also had AI (sorry, I couldn’t do this on my own) create something to put on the filter search bar to see if any songs did have extra spaces. It worked for a while and I just noticed that it wasn’t working properly anymore.

Does anyone know how I can create something where I can filter out to see if any tracks do have extra spaces in the metadata?

Also, is there any way at all I can export each track’s metadata to a JSON file?

Thanks so much and again apologies if I didn’t explain things well/clearly.

I signed up for BookFusion back in April and just started using it with the KOReader extension and it’s absolutely amazing.

I had a weird question to ask and hope I can explain it clearly. I use highlights a lot and like to have set colors for different things like passages, concepts to research, etc. Is there a way I can assign a few set colors for each of these to quickly have them available when highlighting?

Sorry as this post will get long.

After getting back into the hobby after roughly 10 years of just not listening to much music, I've spent a fair amount of money buying adaptors, Questyle M15i, along with a few headphones and IEMs. After about a month I decided I should have just bought a DAP instead and settles on the XM2. Unfortunately, I've had issues with Amazon and FedEX consistently delivering my packages to the wrong address. (I live in downtown Toronto and it's either delivered to the condo across the street from me or to the wrong person in my building.) Thankfully, I've always been able to retrieve my packages. I bought the XM2 from a local retailer as I didn't want to pay the few hundred in duties that I usually get charged when buying something from the US or overseas. This was delivered using Canada post which I've never had issues with and they either lost the package or it was delivered to someone else. It's not the sellers fault and unfortunately I have zero recourse.

So now I'm looking to buy another DAP and limited my search to physical stores I can buy from to avoid any issues like this from happening.

I really prefer a non-Android DAP mainly because I'm getting older and never owned any Android devices and while maybe ten years ago I would have loved to tinker and explorer a new OS it's not something I want to do now. I really liked the design the size of the XM2 as well.

With that said, I'm fine with an Android DAP even though it was something I was hoping to avoid. To make my search even more difficult I love the gimmicky aspects of the M21 with their cassette case or the fact that I can buy apps like NostalgicPod to get the feeling of an iPod. (I guess running Android does have its benefits.) I also don't mind a battery life of roughly 5 hours but would prefer longer batteries.

The players I've found that I can buy locally are the following:

M21

Song NW-A306

iBasso DX180

Shanling M6 Ultra (I prefer not to pay this much though)

Shanling M5 Ultra

Cayin N3Ultra

I'm also in no rush and can wait until early next year. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I’m working on something that’s in the early stages and one of the few things I’m missing is the original release date of all their episodes. Does anyone know if there is any place or way that I can find them?

I hope this post is okay with the mods.

I'll try to keep this short. I've been dealing with a TIA, which is essentially a minor stroke, as well as recently being diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully I have both under control. All of this, plus other personal issues, put me in a very... dark is really the only word that comes to mind.

I was thinking of things I could do to take my mind off things. I considered new hobbies, things I've been putting aside. Then I somehow thought about starting my music collection again. I was born in '85 and even as a kid loved music and had a ton of cassettes and CDs that I held on to up until about 15-20 years ago when I lost them all. (Won't get into that as this post will get long as is.)

I also lost all my mp3 from middle school and high school. Mixtapes I can never find again, personal pictures, home videos, you name it I lost it.

So I decided to slowly build my collection up again and promised myself I'd do it right. I tag all my songs down to the composer and credit fields and more and have splurged on hard drives to make sure I hopefully don't lose anything this time around. Something I've always wanted to do. (I'm generally very organized and borderline OCD.)

Honestly, I couldn't have done it if it wasn't by going through a lot of the helpful posts on here. I actually jump on here every morning while I'm having my coffee as I just feel at home.

So yeah, this was a very long way of saying thanks to everyone on here. I'd buy you all a beer if I could.

I watched the movie in the early 2000s with my dad and it was the very last movie we watched together and had a lot of sentimental value for me. I’ve tried searching and using various AI models to help me find it to no avail. It’s not Crash from 2004 or Mad City.

All I remember is that there are a number of interconnected storylines and one of them is a man who the entire movies is considering taking his own life. At the very end of the movie he’s in a diner and stops a robber and is told how he’s a hero for what he did.

Sorry for being so vague and thanks in advance.

I could just be misremembering, but I can swear besides Sean Clements being a guest on If Looks Could Kill, Doughboys on Demolition Man and Lauren Lapkus being a guest on the Lethal Weapon 2 episode there was another episode where the boyz had a guest. Am I misremembering?

Sorry if general advice isn't the correct tag. I thought since I was asking for purchasing and general questions I'd use the latter. Please let me know if I should change it.

Here's a TL'DR with just my questions. In case you don't read the entire post - and I wouldn't blame you if you don't want to read my long rant - here are the questions I have. Sorry to be asking some very basic questions:

1. Any general tips for using IEMs besides handling them carefully and avoiding sweat/oil? I'm pretty much bedridden because of my health so I won't be wearing these outside.

2. With the Silica Gel packs how many are recommended to put in the case and does placement matter?

3. What DACs should I look at getting that will work well with expensive over the head headphones but also with the Reference that ideally have an easier UI/learning curve for someone new to the hobby.

4. I will most likely be buying Baroque Stage tips. Wondering if there's anything else I should look at getting as well. This will solely be for the Reference.

And sorry for this long post. Figured it might explain how I got here so you all know how little I know about IEMs and this hobby. A few months ago I didn't even know what flat meant. Most of my life I used Apple's wired headphones that came with phones. Then I moved onto iPod Pros, AirPod Max (sadly were stolen), Sony WF-1000XM5s, Sony WH-1000XM5s, Beoplay EX, and more recently the Focal Bathys. This has been my setup for about two years and with the Focal Bathys I thought I found my endgame, especially with DAC mode.

Unfortunately, I've had a slew of health problems including suffering a minor stroke and being diagnosed with cancer. It messed me up mentally and funny enough music is one of the few things that has helped me...

I just finished The Poet and it was my first Connelly book and I absolutely loved it. I know there is a Jack McEvoy series and also a more direct sequel that is part of the Bosch series called The Narrows. I didn’t know this until just now. I bought the other books in the Jack McEvoy series and had planned to read them, but now I’m wondering if I should go with The Narrows even though I haven’t read a single book in the Bosh series.

Would really appreciate any suggestions!
