Oh nice! I've been doing this on the Mac side with BetterDisplay, but on the Windows side I couldn't find an equivalent and have had the awful Dell software installed to do it there. This'll let me dump the Dell software! Thanks!

I gave up on iCloud sync.

After the tenth time iCloud absolutely destroyed my vault’s file layout and scattered copies of my files all over my iCloud Drive, I just gave up and shell out for paid sync now. It’s fine. I don’t mind paying for things I get actual value from.

Don't put your API keys as parameters in your URL. Great way to have them land in server logs, your shell history, etc. You're trusting no one with decryption capabilities is doing logging and inspection correctly, which you shouldn't.

Starship only supports this in PowerShell for whatever reason.

Edit: Doh. I see what you linked to now. Yea, maybe it does work in more than just PowerShell now?

Transient prompt basically removes your prompt decorations and replaces it with just `>` in your scroll back history in your shell sessions. In my case it's a slightly more complex transient prompt (datetime and exit code of the command), but still greatly simplified.

Makes cut-and-paste of history in to docs and stuff super nice.

Whoa. Who at Google thought providing this as an example of how to test your API key was a good idea?

This is shown at the top of the screen in https://aistudio.google.com/apikey as the suggested quick start for testing your API key out.

Not a great look. I let our GCloud TAM know. But still.

That was the same thing that drove me to find an alternative and I also landed on ohmyposh specifically because starship lacked the transient prompt.

A WIP but evolving, it watches your active tmux panes and allows you to work with AI agents who can interact with those panes. For command line folk, this could feel like a pretty good way to bring AI in to your working life.

Not the OP of this thread, but for our setup the phone is just for the CGM. The pump (Tandem T-Slim) talks directly to the CGM (Dexcom G7) and doesn't need the phone as an interface between them.

The phone just sends the CGM data on to the cloud so we can see his numbers any time.

I also have a NightScout setup that's downloading his CGM data and saving it for us. It's not strictly necessary for anything we're doing, but I like the saved data and it's was useful for working with his Endo when they hadn't yet bought a Dexcom clinic license.

We also use an iPhone SE for our T1 teenager. One drowned in the ocean a few years back, but other than that they've been pretty robust and reliable for us. We do Otter Box them with a screen protector.

I appreciate his efforts, but tmux from my cold, dead hands. kitty is nice and fast, but tmux is in my blood (and on remote servers where kitty isn't).

I'm kitty + tmux and have been for a while now. What kind of problems were you encountering?

Having started out my tech career as an intern in an industrial laser lab, this story is parts amusing and horrifying. Brought back a lot of memories of all the ablation tests and via drilling I used to do, with varying degrees of success, to help sell this massive lasers.
