Re: Looking for accessible bathroom scales

2020-07-29 Thread Ibraheem Fakir 
Unsure the accuracy of the Cardio scale I have, although the consistency is 
definitely there. I don’t mind if my scale is consistently inaccurate by plus 
.4 pounds because it’ll still track the overall trajectory of my weight gains 
and losses. I definitely don’t think the body fat percentage measurement on my 
scale is accurate nor is the BMI, but the weight seems spot on and for my 
weight dependent competitions, it’s never let me down.

Curious if anyone on this list has tried the Wyze scale though. Definitely a 
more affordable option.

All best,
I

The qardio base scale is what i have and I love it because it offers haptic

Wyze recently unveiled their scale for 20 bucks, and I’d be interested in 
seeing if that is successful. He certainly can’t beat the price point.

First, I’m really sorry that you had to receive such bizarre words. I would 
dismiss this as A meaningless cry for attention. Second, the accusation of 
having no brain is quite oxymoronic because someone with half a brain would be

Media Player Similar to VLC

2020-05-09 Thread Ibraheem Fakir 
Hey Group,

Hope you’re well. I’m looking for a audio media player for my phone that will 
allow me to create playlists and adjust playback speeds to at least 3X. I tried 
VLC and while I was able to make a single playlist, I can’t figure out how to 
replicate the task to make additional playlists. VLC seems like the ideal 
solutions if only I could get it to work consistently.

Any suggestions are deeply appreciated.

All best,
Ibraheem

Mail rules on IOS

2020-05-05 Thread Ibraheem Fakir 
Hey List,

Finding myself subscribed to so many awesome lists, my inbox is growing super 
crowded. Any tips on how to setup rules on my iPhone to organize messages from 
various email groups land in specified mailboxes? I find that I’m having the 
same issue with my inbox on the native mail app on my MacBook Air. If I setup 
rules on my MacBook Air will they carry over to my iPhone? Any walk throughs on 
how to get this done is super appreciated.
 

All best,
Ibraheem
