Shortcuts 2.1 beta 2 is out! Some great changes in this one:
- New actions to create alarms and timers directly in the app
- New Measurement actions
- Better AirPlay integration via HomePod
- New controls to stop sharing a shortcut
With the new Clock actions, it is possible to build simple but effective Pomodoro-style timers in Shortcuts.
You can also create “goodnight” routines more easily by toggling specific alarms directly 👍
Here are the new sharing controls in Shortcuts 2.1 b2. Reopen an iCloud link you previously shared to get an option to delete the link and wipe data from iCloud.

I've been testing the new iPad mini for the past week. It's everything I hoped a new iPad mini could be: the best handheld tablet Apple ever made, and the most fun I've had with a new iPad in a while.
I finally went ahead and deactivated my Facebook account.
I’m tired of this platform allowing the proliferation of ‘no vax’ groups, fake news, and the organization of “COVID doesn’t exist” events. The final straw was one of these ‘protests’ in my hometown. 🧵
I haven’t used FB much these past few years. But I still have many of my childhood friends and their parents on there. And it’s been demoralizing to see many of them spew this bullshit on my timeline whenever I log in.
And Facebook, honestly, doesn’t give a damn about it. It’s in their best interest to keep that “engagement” high, all while willfully allowing their minds to be filled with anti-vax propaganda, exposing them to all kinds of COVID fake news – every. single. day. It’s exhausting.
AirPods Max are real – over-ear headphones featuring active noise cancellation, spatial audio, H1 chip, and Digital Crown. Five different colors, $549, available December 15.
For headphone nerds, here's what I find intriguing about AirPods Max:
- Novel headband design with knit mesh canopy
- No gestures, but Digital Crown
- H1 chip in each ear cup
- Spatial Audio for Dolby 5.1, 7.1, and Atmos content
- Wear detection for play/pause
- Smart Case
