'Ted Lasso' season 4 to focus on the formation of AFC Richmond's women's team
hodar said:Does anyone really care about Women's Soccer?
Many of the people who watched and enjoyed Ted Lasso really don't care about men's soccer either. Could have been any sport.

Developers will have a hard time getting App Store users to buy directly
I'm sure they will get flack for it, but I hope there will be a way in settings to prohibit the download of anything that isn't from the app store.I am foreseeing the nightmare ahead when my click-happy mom starts accidentally/unwittingly downloading stuff from all the ads in her games and e-mail etc.This is a scammer's dream.

Apple now lets you transfer purchases from one Apple Account to another
hobs said:While I can understand the decision behind Family Sharing having to b disabled , that’s a major setback. Also don’t understand the limitation behind this feature not available in certain countries or why the accounts to be in the same country, which is exactly my case (they are in different countries).About this last point I’ve always wondered what happens if I change the country of my Apple account that is currently used for iCloud services but that also held previous app purchases.For people that change country of residence frequently it’s quite a mess.
It seems family sharing can be turned back on wen you're done with the migration.

How to use robotic vacuums with Apple Home & Siri
I did set up shortcuts to start vacuuming specific rooms with my Roombas, but that's about all you can do. Unfortunately, that only works from the phone, not the HomePods scattered around the house. -
Prepare for a scam gold rush with the App Store changes
I said this in an earlier post, but I hope there will be an option in settings to choose the app store as the only place from which to download.

Apple sued for $5M for not recovering data after iPhone theft
"That suit has now entered a discovery phase, which can take between six and eight moths to complete."If the attorneys hire additional moths, can this be completed sooner?

Tantalizing details of Jony Ive's AI device leak after OpenAI meeting
tht said:If we are talking Star Trek stuff, there's a gazillion more things I'd want over whatever OpenAI is trying to do. Replicator. Replicator, man. Food, whatever object fits in the replicator, drinks. Giving me food in 1 minute, without any prep whatsoever, no cleanup, would save me like 3 hours a day. A transporter. An FTL starship. Inertial dampeners. Whatever energy source that is powering this stuff. You notice that there aren't any bathrooms in Star Trek? On any scifi property? What's up with that? Nobody needs to poop.
Last thing I'd want is the ship computer voice interface or a phaser.I just want to say "Earl Gray, hot" and have one appear, dammit.And Majel Barrett as my Siri voice since day one.

Apple's homeOS platform is coming: All the rumors, and what you need to know
Why do you need to AirPlay from an iPhone to a HomePod? Just ask the HomePod to play whatever you want. The phone will still show the details, but you no longer need to worry about yet another link. Don't know what you mean by "neither HomePod will play as a radio". Do you subscribe to any streaming service? Apple Music, SiriusXM etc.?davidlewis54 said:There’s going to have to be a major improvement in how all the iDevices interact with each other if this is going to work. I have an iPhone, two iPads, Apple Watch, Apple TV, original HomePod and a Mini, plus AirPod Max and AirPod Pro 2, plus a new car with AirPlay. Yes, lucky me. However, they do not interact well with both HomePods playing different music, though they are in different rooms with rooms in between and even if I speak softly inches away from one HomePod. My iPhone won’t Airplay to my HomePods without dropping the connection after a couple of minutes, neither HomePod will play as a radio, and using more than one app in the car causes the connection to collapse. I can have Apple Maps and most of the time Apple Music playing but add a phone call and it all drops out.
My view is Apple needs to sort out how it wants its devices to operate and interact with one another (it should be faultless, particularly in an home with all the devices on the same WiFi network) and sort out the basics. There is too much updating all the time. Quite often nothing works with anything else. I appreciate as I use public betas they are not infallible but it is all too frequent that the basics just don’t work.

Inside Apple Health - How your iPhone keeps track of your vitals
Some do allow and some don’t. It’s not the software they use, such as FMH or Epic’s My Chart, it’s up to the individual medical provider or group or hospital etc. to allow the sharing. I have some that allow you to link. When they do allow it, it’s very easy to do.twolf2919 said:Does anyone know of an easy way to import information into the health app? Health care providers are all coming up with their own digital portals and it's ridiculous trying to keep straight where your information actually is! In my case, my primary provider has their app - "Follow My Health". Then the two big hospitals in the area (and their associated doctor offices) use another, "My Chart" (and even within that app, each hospital has their own "sub-app", each holding the same sort of information.
It would be great if, for example, I could import my cholesterol and other blood test results, MRIs, etc. into Health. Doing so manually is too time consuming and error prone or simply impossible.
