iPhone Wallet Hack

I often get flight or concert tickets that don't come as Wallet entries, but I wan't to treat them in the same way: 1. Easy Access (e.g., not searching back through emails or logging in to a service); 2. Not dependant on internet/phone connectivity (especially in airports!)

I now have a pair of shortcuts that more-or-less achieve this. In operation, I just open my iPhone, tap an app icon (shortcut to 'LocalFileOpener').

How it works:

'→ Local iPhone' Appears in the Share Menu and saves a file locally on my iPhone (i.e., I don't need an internet/phone connection to access it as I would with iCloud storage).

'LocalFileOpener' Just opens the local iPhone folder.

Organising macOS Applications with tags & Aliases

It's easy to lose Applications in the Applications folder and the Groups view isn't always consistent or helpful. It's also limited to one group, which isn't that helpful if you want to search for one app for several possible purposes.

Tagging is a solution, but if you apply to Applications, directly, you have to give permissions each time, which gets annoying. Worse still, any update will wipe the tag.

But if you apply tags to Aliases for each application, you side-step these problems and can use multiple groupings. I think that the alias will still works when applications are updated, unless they change name.

So far, this is working as intended. I've not yet updated any application 🤞

I ran through a bunch of obvious app categories and have been tagging as and when I can be bothered. It's not seemed too arduous.

Donner Hush X—has anyone here removed the control panel? [SOLVED]

I have a Donner Hush X and wanted to replace the pick-up selector switch.

I've unscrewed the control panel but it doesn't seem to lift off the guitar body. It might just be a bit stiff and need a little more heft; but I'm wondering if it's soldered to a PCB board and so can'e be opened up with out damaging things.

Has anyone inspected inside or found any YT videos or internal diagrams? I can't find any.

TIA 👍

PS Here’s a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn’t upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0
