  • How to get the most out of your Apple Music subscription

    braytonakbraytonak
    All these features yet whenever my phone connects to my car stereo over Bluetooth it starts playing the same exact thing it always does. I deleted all songs from my library and just add songs to playlists without adding to my library a couple days ago, so hopefully today’s commute will have a better behavior. 

    It’s frustrating that Apple can’t figure out at least how to make a particular Bluetooth device start playing from the last thing it played, at least as an option.

  • Google Pixel 4a launch expected on Monday

    Google’s phone group has been struggling, but at least the head of the group was let go recently. Maybe this model will come with fewer unexpected gotchas. 

    Google could turn in two directions: Kill the phone products or dedicate to really competing in the market. If they keep going let’s hope they don’t pull a Google (or Samsung) and release 72 models that are all the same yet different.

  • Apple's shift to ARM Mac at WWDC will define a decade of computing

    braytonakbraytonak
    While a new ARM-based MacBook is logical, I would think it would also reinforce the expectation that %desktopOS%-on-ARM = slow. Apple’s confidence in ARM would be clearer if they put it in a MacBook Air, which we already know is a capable machine. 

    Either way, I would replace my 2015 and 2017 MacBooks with an ARM-based model if they ditched the butterfly keyboard in them. If this comes to fruition this year I will find it a very fascinating time, indeed.

  • Hue Sync Box adds support for Siri control alongside Dolby Vision and HDR10+ content

    braytonakbraytonak
    Based on my own experience with the Hue Sync Box I can’t suggest anyone buy one, at least not with an Apple TV 4K and a basic 1080p TV. It fails to start syncing, forgets the hub it’s linked to, stutters and delays lighting changes, won’t connect to the app, and when it’s in a really bad mood it will turn the picture to digital snow or simply not pass a connection through. 

    When it works, it’s nice. It does add depth to the experience. But it is NOT worth the price.
