I put an old iPad in a picture frame case and use it as a HomeKit hub and dakboard screen.

Yes, on iPhone only, though. I like that you can schedule them to run at certain times which is super helpful with home automation. As a former jailbreaker, I used to miss Activator but Shortcuts does everything I need.

A few good ones:

1. “I’m being pulled over” will start recording video and stream it as well as text contacts your location. The ACLU put this one out in 2020.
2. “On my way” will calculate my driving time to home, pad it by a few minutes for stoplights, and text it to my wife.
3. I have a HomeKit garage door opener/sensor. I have a shortcut that runs at 9pm and texts me and my wife if any of the doors are still open and displays a prompt to close them.

Same here. People give me a hard time for having a 15 year old Dell-branded Natural Pro keyboard and a stockpile of spares but they seem to last forever and fit me so well, ergonomically.
