  • Apple will launch HomePod with 7-inch screen in 2024, says Kuo

    hcrefugeehcrefugee
    Goofy combination to be honest.  Any form factor that doesn’t alter the sound imaging by obstructing the speaker?  I can’t get the image of a second
     gen iMac out of my head. 




    I had the same image in my head. Though I still don’t know why I need a screen  on my HomePod, especially if I interact with it via AppleTV, my iPhone phone,  or my voice. Different strokes, I guess.

  • New HomePod 'surprisingly easy' to disassemble and repair

    hcrefugeehcrefugee
    Glad they gave a shoutout to Nic's Fix re fixing the OG HomePods. He did a great job on fixing my HomePod's no power issue. Reasonable cost and Quick.  Nic was likely the first to post a tear down video of the new HomePod as well. Videos of fixes don in real time and tear down of the new HP are on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NicsFix

  • Revamped 'Myst Mobile' lands on iPad, iPhone

    A12 bionic or greater?  Says it’s a no-go on iPad mini 5. BTW, this was originally made on HyperCard. 
    Yes indeed! As a former HyperCard "developer" I recall how the arrival of Myst fueled hopes on HC forums that Apple would continue development of HC 3.0 with much needed new features. Alas, between the advent of the WWW, the return of Steve Jobs to Apple, and development of OS X,  HC 3.0 was simply not to be. Many HC folks eventually moved on to Objective-C, myself included, thus my username: hcrefugee.

    On the plus side, when I met my wife-to-be in grad school, we played Myst together, and as a result of the game play, realized (among other things) that the way we thought, approached, and solved problems     complemented each other. Unlike the demise of HyperCard, we are still going strong 30 years later. And we still have our original Myst CD in the bookcase!

  • Peloton latest to blame Apple for financial woes

    hcrefugeehcrefugee
    Also probably everyone that wanted (and could afford) to get a Peloton, managed to get one already. There is no need to refresh a bike every year....now they have to count on their subscription service, which is not the same as selling a new bike.
    To say nothing of the all of the ads on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc. for an overpriced clothes rack:
