Ah ha, yes this is it.

So I only really use this with my Apple TV, am I reading your post correctly to mean that the ATV does this internally, so it will continue working even if I swap the router?

I don't use the feature any more (though it was pretty magical when I did).  If you had a HomePod I'd expect it to keep on working, but the Apple TV using itself as a proxy might be one of those things that should work but turns out to be a bridge too far.

So indeed the App Store WAS a monopoly.

Difficult though it may be for you to understand, but companies do not have actionable monopolies *on their own products*. BMW does not have a 'monopoly' on the 7 Series. Microsoft does not have a 'monopoly' on Windows (nor have they ever been accused of such a thing). Apple does not have a 'monopoly' on the App Store.

The other is, and I don't know what the name is, the feature that pretends to be my Mac when my Mac is sleeping. This features allows, say, my AppleTV to "see" the content on my machine - movies and shows - and when I select it it wakes up my Mac.

It's not unusual for Apple to talk to iJustine. What is, is that for the first time since 2015, Apple executives didn't appear on The Talk Show with John Gruber during WWDC week.

In 2024 Gruber described universities attempting (however badly) to respect the first amendment of the Constitution as living in "bizarro-world". I cut him out of my life as well. (yes, politics I guess)

I'm waiting for Apple to start selling the "Apple Phone".  No App Store, just Apple's preinstalled software.  The beginning of the end of Apple's egalitarian experiment.
