hey folks, anyone have tips on how to navigate a world of having to completely use separate hardware for work things and non-worik things?

or tips to remind oneself to check the other device (phone, laptop) so you don't forget to do something?

i wanted to code more this year, so i've been trying to automate a few checks at work.

So, I wrote up a few python scripts. Oh, can't get a server to run them.

Fine, I'll run them on my computer. Oh, can't leave my work laptop on constantly.

Ok, so now the alternative is to rewrite everything as google app scripts.

Oh, there's execution limitations and sometimes these scripts don't trigger to run.

And now it's just a calendar with 21 daily reminders for someone to check. 🤦‍♀️

It turns out there's a few python libraries out there to control roku devices via local network.

So happy to say I used my python skills so I can auto-login to all 15 CBC News Fast channels really quickly when I'm monitoring on my 16 hdmi input multiview from aliexpress.
