I have a dumb work related chrome thing, i’d like to make it so that when a certain notification sound plays in chromium, my computer does a few things automatically for me
Does anyone know a good way to make this happen?
I imagine it’d have to be setup like:
when chrome starts playing audio && check if that audio matches soundfile.ogg && myscript.sh, but I don’t know any good cli utilities that could get something like that done, and if there are any better ideas!
Lazy people tend to be creative people, which is good, especially when confronted with boring activities.
I’d solve it in hardware, maybe an ESP32 dongle with a mic pretending to be a keyboard.
Seriously though, sounds like you need a more creative or fulfilling job.
Modern problems require overkill solutions :P
If it works it ain’t stupid. 😄
Yeah the most fulfilling thing about this job has been figuring out how to automate as much of it as possible while still pretending to be a normal worker. It’s pretty terrible, i’m going to switch to herpetology eventually, but can’t do that right now for various reasons I don’t want to get into on a public forum.
I’m at the top of every performance metric because of my inclination to be lazy as fuck with it though, so, it works.
