    Related to this...

    Can someone explain to me why when I ask Siri in iOS 10 while I am driving ( I do not have car play)
    "Hey Siri, give me directions to home"
    And Siri says " I cant help you while you are driving"?
    Why cant 'she' start voice directions?
    "Hey Siri, take me home" has always worked for me.

  • Inside macOS 10.13 High Sierra: APFS benefits end users with space, speed

    The only thing that bothers me is the file copy. When I copy a file, I'm doing it for a reason. I want an exact copy. If I alter one, I don't necessarily want the other altered. If one gets corrupted, rare, but it does happen, I want the other pristine one to replace it. I'm not sure how this will work.

    its a reason why I'm not fond of de-duping. My copies are intentional.
    I don't think you understand how this works.

    1) Make a "copy". Yes, this is not a true copy. This points back to the original.

    2) Make changes to the file, either the original or the "copy".

    3) APFS will record the changes and only make the changes necessary to the appropriate file. And data not changed will be unaltered in either file, but there will be a list of changes made. 

    So, to sum up, if you make a copy of a file and then change either file, the file that you changed will show the changes while the other file will not. In the meantime, data that is not changed between them will continue to be shared. But reading either file will result in the correct data being read.

    How is this a bad thing?

  • AT&T, Verizon join firms pulling millions in ads from Google, YouTube over hate, terrorist...

    I’m expecting their stock to go up along with articles explaining how this is actually bad news for Apple.

  • Review: eero Wi-Fi is a solid option for Apple's outgoing AirPort

    I have an eero setup in my home. They're great and I would recommend them easily to friends and family, especially now that they just lowered the prince by $100.

    The one issue that I have is that they do not (currently) support IPv6 at all. Not even a little bit. If you have an IPv6 ISP (e.g. Comcast) and an Apple WiFi of any kind, you have ubiquitous IPv6 everywhere and your iPhones, iPads, Mac, etc are all using it.

    If you replace the Apple WiFi with the eero, you have no IPv6 at all. That kinda sucks. They claim on their forum that IPv6 is "on the roadmap" for whatever that's worth.

    If I had known about the complete lack of IPv6 when I pulled the trigger, I might have gone with a different solution. As it is, I'm very happy with how they work and how my home is now blanketed with WiFi, including front and back yards. 

    Port forwarding works very well also.
