    Wonder if you could use the 1st gen HomePod with the new gen 2 model as a pair. Would you see a major difference in audio from one to the other?
    I believe it’s already been documented that you can’t mix and match the HomePods. They will not be compatible.

    Still hoping they will now enable setup - 2 HomePods as soundbar + subwoofer + dolby atmos + 2 HomePod minis as rear surround speakers. That would make it for me 😎
    I'd like them to allow the Apple TV (hardware) to work in Target HTS Mode — i.e., the Apple TV (hardware) + HomePods would work as an HTS for your TV/Cable box, similar to the Target Display Mode iMacs used to support or Target Disk Mode.

    As far as I know, there's no way to get sound from your TV (or cable box) to a single or pair of HomePods, so if it doesn't make sense for you to use your Apple TV (hardware) for everything, HomePods don't work as a general purpose HTS, and who wants to have separate speakers for your TV/Cable box and your Apple TV (hardware). If the Apple TV (hardware) could accept sound input from your TV/Cable box and play it on HomePods that would solve that problem. 
    Of course I meant while connecting it to my Apple TV :)
    We have connected 2 HomePods (stereo) to our smart TV using Bluetooth and it worked perfectly.

    For me it was outdoor smart plugs (Meross) for landscape lighting. Either show up as no response, or when they are live fail to go on and off as automated to do. Sheesh!
    Same for us. Outdoor Meross outlet works manually (voice activated) but timer is no longer working to turn Xmas lights on and off

  • Europe coming after Apple's App Store with Digital Markets Act

    Maybe we will be lucky enough to elect new leaders to Congress this Fall who will threaten EU tariffs if this is implemented

    All the “gatekeepers” will be American 

    Since Apple doesn't make a search engine or social media platform, most core elements of its business model will likely remain unchanged under the DSA rules. However, the DSA is much more likely to impact companies such as Meta and Google significantly.

    As a non-American, it often strikes me that some thinks the world ends at your front door. 
    The world is much bigger than one country. 

    The EU is a democratic society made of many different countries representing hundreds of millions of people.

  • Amazon reveals new Echo Dot, Kindle Scribe tablet & more

    An Echo Dot that works as a Wi-Fi router or extender is something that I always thought the Apple HomePod should or could have done.
