  • HKCam is an open source, DIY HomeKit security camera project

    Anyone know if it's possible to still use the pi ZERO for other homebridge devises like lights and switches? The article says it's a modified version of homebridge. Would be great if it was still able to act as my main hombridge server.

  • Hands on: How to use the ECG app on Apple Watch

    arthurba said:
    Anyone know or test how it is deciding if your AW should enable ECG based on The ‘United States’ limitiation?

    I’m in and out of the country a bit...
    If you were “in the country” when you bought it then it will work. Otherwise you’re out of luck. 

    It’s based on the country it was sold in. Not region settings or iTunes account settings. Doesn’t seem to be any way around it.

  • Apple highlights positive reviews of Apple Watch Series 4 ahead of launch

    I want to know if gps or heart rate monitor accuracy is improved.  On a 5 mile run my watch is off by 0.2 miles. The sampling rate is too slow and the watch is probably not really ready (satellite-wise) at the start of workouts.  Similarly, I get dropouts in heart rate when go go back and look at workouts.  To keep me off of Garmins I would like to see these become priorities. 

    My experience when running with people using a Garmin is they take longer to acquire a GPS signal and can be less accurate than the Apple Watch if the Garmin wearer starts before the GPS signal is acquired. Even when they start up their Garmin in advance they are no more accurate than the Apple Watch. 

    I agree that improved accuracy is always welcome though.

    Facebook owns Onavo Protect?! When the fuck did this happen?

    October 2013, although the App listing wasn't very clear that it was owned by facebook.

  • Apple begins rollout of TV app in Australia, Canada ahead of iOS 11 & tvOS 11 debut

    Yup, got the app pushed to my AppleTV. All it is is a black screen, no functionality. For Canada, I call it a FAIL.
    Me too. They put the icon in the top row so that it comes up but it came up with no content and no name under it. So at first, you are looking at the screen going "What's this?" And when you go into the app, it just sits there loading on all the screens except the library screen. It seems very un-apple like. Even the font they used for the menu across the top is very un-apple like. 

    It's only being rolled out to those in Apple's Beta program. It's not un-apple like at all, it's beta software.
