Siri hack to use any location with reminders

I figured out a way to get Siri to set reminders for you when you leave or arrive at ANY location, not just home or work. 1. You need to go into your contact card 2. Push edit and scroll down to addresses 3. Add a new address, and push the label that appears to the left of the address (usually work/home) 4. At the bottom, you can add a custom label, it can be anything, say "Target." 5. Add the address for the Target, then push done 6. When you launch Siri, you can now tell her to remind you when you leave "My target." For example: "Remind me to buy milk when I arrive at my target" Be sure to…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I figured out a way to get Siri to set reminders for you when you leave or arrive at ANY location, not just home or work. 1. You need to go into your contact card 2.

When you launch Siri, you can now tell her to remind you when you leave "My target." For example: "Remind me to buy milk when I arrive at my target" Be sure to say "my," I couldn't get it to work otherwise. I've found that its more accurate when you split up the reminder, so it would be "remind me to buy milk" and when she asks when to remind you, say "when I arrive at my target"

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
