So it seems to be impossible to create an automation task on the iPhone for certain events unless you manually allow the task to run.
I can automatically send a text message to Phil every day at 4am saying "Wake up, you filthy monkey!", but can't automatically turn on airplane mode when I arrive home. The second one asks me whether to run it and there's no option to disable this. Defeats the purpose of having a stupid automation in the first place. (I don't want to do any of these, just examples)
If you look at all the events that don't allow automatic execution, all are something that are a "security risk" in the sense that you can use them to blow things up remotely. Or something similar.
Am I imagining things or is someone at Apple super paranoid?

Nope, you're not alone. I work with a guy that has a race tracking app on Android and Apple. In Android, he has a timer and every time the timer goes off, Android gets the GPS, does some math and goes back to sleep. This is great for battery life. On Apple, this isn't possible. The OS will trigger a GPS event when the device has moved an undisclosed amount and the app can receive the update. This means that the OS is sampling GPS fairly often to decide when to kick off the event. Its the best that Apple offers...

You'd think it's your phone, you can do whatever you want with it, right?
People complain when Windows doesn't let them do something they want (or does something they don't want it to), as if it's now Microsoft's computer, not theirs.
iPhones were never theirs to begin with.

Had my Covid booster this morning and my immune system is clearly overreacting. Every bone hurts, my sats are in the low 90's, and I'm freezing: my hands are shaking and my teeth are chattering despite it being 21C in here.
I do hope this doesn't last too long ...

I checked last week and they weren't available in this area yet.
After reading your post I'm not sure I want to go with this round.
We and the SO had all our shots, boosters and we still got it.
Hope you get over it quickly.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Never had a booster. Got the rona. It was rough, but since then I've stopped doing everything I used to in regards to masking, washing hands 30 times a day, worrying, etc. Never had a problem since getting it and it's been a year. It's almost like antibodies work.

We travel a lot so we protect when out and about but at home we don't.
Oddly we picked up the rona on a trip Québec. Took us a month to get over it.

Glad you got through it ok. For me it was a rough two weeks. Either way, antibodies baby!

![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) Not as bad as you, but we both had more reaction to Pfizer boosters (#3, 4) than either of the original A-Z shots. Got over it in a day or so. She blamed it on having the fluvax at the same time, but I'm not convinced of that.

We are due for our fifth booster shots as well. I hope it deals more kindly with us.
About a month ago, my youngest daughter who lives with us, came down with Covid. She was coughing and wheezing all over the house and I was convinced we will both be infected, but we came through without so much as a sore throat. I am sure it was the vaccination and boosters that protected us! We will not miss these latest boosters.![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

I've got neck and back pain which I've not experienced before and a very sore arm which I have had before
Covid has certainly got it in for you though - hope it doesn't last long.

I have decided that at the age of 78 I am just as likely to die of Covid as anything else. I had my last booster back in May, and am declining all future offers.

$20 says you'll live longer now.

Longer than what (or who)?

Longer than you otherwise would have. People that live the longest are generally happy. Folks that worry about everything tend not to be happy.

But there is no "otherwise", we only live as long as we live. We can possibly keep alive into old age by good diet and keeping active, but equally some of the healthiest people can die quite young.

You're missing the point dude. And there is an "otherwise"... for instance... let's say you thought about jumping off a cliff. And I'm no... don't. It's safe to say you'd live longer than you otherwise would've had you jumped off one.
Not sure why you're going to argue with me being nice. Guess you're bored or something. Might wanna look inward dude.

No I don't think so. As I said, you can try to change your life style in the hope of living a long life. But there is no way of knowing how long you might have lived if you did not change it.

I'm 60 y/o (vaccinated w/ 1 boost - all in 2021) and have made the same decision. COVID has generally weakened to head cold / flu levels of severity so I don't see the point of endless boosters of mRNA.

It clearly also has serious effects on mental state as the claim of 21C in Wales in October is clearly the machination of a disturbed mind. You'll be telling us next that it isn't raining ...

Nah, that was in the kitchen where Herselfs' oxygen concentrator lives - it squashes air to separate O2 from N2 and that generates a lot of heat. Think small space heater and you won't be too far off. It'll be handy in winter, but it was a PITA in summer ...
