Now, if most of my devices would just keep working after every Apple OS update. HomeKit is such a pain in the ass I’m ready to junk my old system and go back to mechanical or inline timers (my Xmas lights go on and off flawlessly).

I used to have problems with my HomeKit setup (mostly Nanoleaf bulbs), but eventually realized it was that there were two hubs - an original AppleTV 4K, and then a HomePod Mini (thread border router). I removed the AppleTV as a hub and haven't had any issues since.


Also: Any electricians on here? My condo was built in the early 1970s. Black, Green, white wires. The white is ground - is that the same as neutral?

He updated the article with the nvidia optimized version of whisper, and no surprise, the 4090 blows aways the macs. Still a nice trajectory that apple is on, but also still a long way to go. 

As the author notes in his update: the Mac version isn't optimized. That means it should improve.

Our Service department has noted this may add hours to repairs. An hour for your new iPhone battery or display and you didn't sign out of FMI at home. Well, it could now be 3 hours!

Is this the next thing we need to worry about with a new iPhone? If it is the courier then any Apple Store could also get saddled with fake devices without knowing it.

No, they just steal the phones out of a case and let the retailer claim the missing item to Apple…

Likely because that's easier than going to the trouble of replacing the serial sticker on the outside of the case which they would have to do to match what they snuck inside (assuming they even found a suitable model) or the serial mismatch would be caught at the point of sales terminal.
