I’m attending AWS re:Invent this week and I sat in on the keynote presentation by Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman this morning. It was cool to learn that Apple partners with AWS and uses some of its products and services. Makes you realize that somewhere, some company always relies on another, no matter what the field or product.

Tesla might make a decent battery on wheels, but they certainly don’t make good cars.

They do make good cars; I’ve been driving a Model 3 for a year now and am currently making use of the one-month free trial of FSD that they are offering existing drivers. I have learned a lot and the car requires your attention, like any car. It is not fully autonomous but it is certainly amazing technology that not many others have presented. People are careless with their devices. Even here in Georgia, a hands-free state, people are holding their phones all the time. When I drive my car I notice it even more because FSD and even the mid-level Enhanced Autopilot which I normally have, follows the road rules more than every other driver around me. Driving advancements are both a blessing and a curse that may never be solved because there will always be the skeptics, the hold-outs, and the I’m-better-than-everybody-elses.

Wow, someone needs to lighten up. I was dying laughing during the whole skit. Worked for me; I’m glad you don’t.

Did I miss something? My HomePods haven’t updated and I can’t see anything different in the climate tab of Home. 

Same here. My HomePods say there isn’t any update and that they are current at 16.2 after updating my iPhone to 16.3. 

Ditto! I also tried turning off Advanced Data Protection, resetting the HomePods, and checking again. No luck. Patience is a virtue…

Speaking of, does anyone know more about the ADP? I turned it on via my iPad but on my iPhone it still shows as turned off. All devices are updated to 16.3. Should I reboot my phone? Does it take time to propagate across devices? I know little about it… 

[u] Nevermind - apparently I have to update my Apple TV and even my old Windows computer’s iCloud for Windows app before it turns on. 

It’s a sh!t show and I’m here for it. He’s a despicable person with a me me me outlook only.
