  • Time Machine's Time Capsule support ends with macOS 27

    This is/was called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.  In addition to the Time Capsule, it's supported by HomePods and Apple TVs.
    Ah ha, yes this is it.

    So I only really use this with my Apple TV, am I reading your post correctly to mean that the ATV does this internally, so it will continue working even if I swap the router?
    I don't use the feature any more (though it was pretty magical when I did).  If you had a HomePod I'd expect it to keep on working, but the Apple TV using itself as a proxy might be one of those things that should work but turns out to be a bridge too far.

  • Apple's Magic Mouse charging port design has never been a big deal

    when people become hyperbolically outraged over the smallest things
    Like the location of the power button on the new Mac mini, perhaps?  :-)

  • tvOS 18.6 improves speed & stability for Apple TV users

    Their own new shows are not prominently featured
    Where do I buy this version?  I absolutely loath the Apple TV+ experience.  Every second that I am not watching a show or movie it is trying to jam video into my face.  Content that I am not interested in and have no way of telling them 'do not show me this ever again'.  I cancelled my subscription - Amazon Video is less obnoxious.

    The only saving grace is that you can leave yourself in "Library" and the app remembers that when you start it back up again.  Just don't accidentally back out too far or the onslaught begins again.

  • Apple's AI rollout leaves Siri behind & long-time fans are asking questions

    It's not unusual for Apple to talk to iJustine. What is, is that for the first time since 2015, Apple executives didn't appear on The Talk Show with John Gruber during WWDC week.

    In 2024 Gruber described universities attempting (however badly) to respect the first amendment of the Constitution as living in "bizarro-world". I cut him out of my life as well. (yes, politics I guess)
