  • Apple Home will gain new AI adaptive temperature in future update

    I dunno about anyone else, but I have never in my life wanted my thermostat to adjust itself. My Ecobee does it every so often and it's annoying as hell. What I like about home kit it I have automatons set for when I arrive or leave home or go to bed that adjust the temp accordingly. I don't want to be siting at home and suddenly sweating and find the thing has set itself to 76

    There probably is a setting in the Ecobee that you have not disabled. Check or disable the Eco+ settings. There is a an option to let your utility adjust your settings based on demand on their system. My Ecobee has never once adjusted the temp setting once all the automated options were disabled.

  • How to use robotic vacuums with Apple Home & Siri

    mike1mike1
    I did set up shortcuts to start vacuuming specific rooms with my Roombas, but that's about all you can do. Unfortunately, that only works from the phone, not the HomePods scattered around the house.

  • Apple now lets you transfer purchases from one Apple Account to another

    While I can understand the decision behind Family Sharing having to b disabled , that’s a major setback. Also don’t understand the limitation behind this feature not available in certain countries or why the accounts to be in the same country, which is exactly my case (they are in different countries). 

    About this last point I’ve always wondered what happens if I change the country of my Apple account that is currently used for iCloud services but that also held previous app purchases. 

    For people that change country of residence frequently it’s quite a mess. 

    It seems family sharing can be turned back on wen you're done with the migration.

  • New Mac mini arrives with redesign, powerful M4 & M4 Pro processors, more USB-C

    mike1mike1
    Hmm. Seems like the Studio Display should be updated to include an opening through which to route the wires from the Mac Mini that is perched upon its base.

    Fingers crossed for an updated Apple TV as well. Looking to buy another but been holding off anticipating an update.
