  • Apple explains how the redesigned Home app came to be

    I generally love the new design, however they really need to fix how the buttons for lights work. Previously, if you tapped on a light's button, that light would toggle on/off. If it was a dimming light, it would turn on at the last used level. With the latest update, if you tap on a light, it brings up the sub page with the light switch. So, now it takes at least two taps to turn on or off a light. If it's a dimming light, you have to know the preferred dimming level for that light. Definitely a step backwards as far as usability.
    On the button for the light, if you tap on the icon in the left of the button it will turn the light on/off. You don't need to go into the sperate sub menu for this. That Sub Menu only opens when you tap on the text component of the button.

    Looks like the Switch also has a Sega controller. Assuming that should also work. Might need to order one and test it out.

  • Apple reportedly working on at least three AR, VR headsets

    The first wave could also be an expensive headset, with prices up to $3,000 proposed.
    I find it surprising that it would be priced this high. I remember all the price rumours for the iPad before it was first launched were really high. Then Apple announced it at a much lower price point than any of the rumours. 

    While having the dominate market share never seems to be Apple’s focus they do need to sell enough units to make it worth entering a new market. The scrapped the first HomePod soon after launching the mini because the original wasn’t selling in high enough volumes. Their wearables/iPhone/iPads all sell in high volumes. I can’t imagine a VR or AR headset priced at $3,000 would sell in high enough volume for Apple to consider it worthwhile entering that market.

    Who forced William Gallagher to write about Ted Lasso?  What method of coercion was used?  What did they have on William?  Inquiring minds want to know. 😆
    TO be fair it is a story about a pessimistic outlook for the initial viewership  of the show. So that would be right up his ally.  :D
