Weird, the latest iOS has made my HomeKit thread devices much more robust over thread and now none, including nanoleaf, fall back to bluetooth as was the case intermittently before. Just showed that Apple has issues in their HomeKit networking prior to Matter. Hope some of this gets fixed with the iOS 16.1 "HomeKit network architecture" updates talked about at wwDC.

Depends on his vesting schedule how long he can delay payment. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/tax/09/restricted-stock-tax.asp  The option to donate as of yet untaxed shares that have increased in value on paper also offers more tax advantages than donating already taxed salary. Can structure/choose to take less actual monetary salary in the years of RSU vesting decreasing other taxable income for that year. No such luck for anyone with a w2 income.

How do you get the update to 16.2 for the original HomePods? I have updated all devices that interact with the Home app to the latest Beta version ie. 16.2 but when I attempt to initiate the "Home Upgrade" I receive the message that the HomePods need to be updated to 16.2 before I can initiate the "Home Upgrade"
Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

From Reddit, some have reported success by removed all OG HomePods from their home. Then doing the update followed by adding the HomePod OG back to their home. Beta caveat emptor.

I wonder if the Matter smart model is thread? For wireless networking, Matter only uses thread or wifi, Bluetooth is used only to commission the device and not used otherwise. With that in mind why have a different module for Matter unless it uses thread?

Some one needs to lecture Apple/Cook and the bad politics of evading ceo taxes. Apple and Tim offer opinions on a multitude of nonfinancial sociopolitical topics why not this one? 

No way darth brandon, the last president wanted to do this; consequently, it must still be bad/evil.

Supply chain resilience and movement away from china and only china is a really good thing. Happening faster than I thought.

Read an article reporting that several universities are being petitioned by activist groups to cancel classes so students have a chance to cry and deal with their depression and anxiety issues. Safe places.

Would you care to link us to this article?

This is one that came up in a few second search.

 Racist are on both sides of this issue. Is this indicative of all the supporters of Hillary from the coastal cities? I think not and would hope not. https://vid.me/PQBm

Trump like Bernie tapped into the anti-establishment dislike for big city dominated politics that have overun washington for the last 30 years. So glad that the Bushes, Clintons and now Obamas have been marginalized. Both sides need to move on.
