They can’t code menus properly any more either - in macOS, try selecting something like a time from the drop-down menus for a reminder (on the main list of the reminders app, not in the window for editing that particular reminder). Immediately after releasing the mouse button while the cursor is over the time you want, move it slightly up or down while the flash animation occurs - you have now selected a different time with no warning. Completely inconsistent with the way every other menu has worked on macOS since 1984. Logged a bug years ago, but presumably they have better things to do.

Go try the shortcuts app. It is an absolute nightmare. Get a few blocks to fill up the screen and then put something at the end. Good luck... the work around I have is put a nothing block at the end.

But that's not even half of it. I had a nice rsync script on termux that would back up my media to my local machine via rsync if I was on WiFi and connected to my local SSID. Like 20 lines including the logging. But I still haven't found a good way to do this with an iPhone. Best idiotic hack I've found is shortcuts were I ssh into the machine and then write the file if it doesn't already exist or dump it to /dev/null if it does. It's dumb that I'm mimicking rsync. It's dumb I have to dump to /dev/null. It's dumb I have to define a fixed number of videos and images. It's dumb I'm using shortcuts and can't just use a terminal emulator because all of them can't get access to my photos folder "for my protection". This is so much unnecessary complexity for what should be a trivial task and I can't even guarantee it gets all my media without crashing! This shit is driving me insane. If you wrote shortcuts I'd like to buy you a drink because I am absolute impressed with how terrible this app is. Like do you all program it blind? I just need to know
