Wemo Smart Video Doorbell review: The new HomeKit doorbell of choice
The Logitech Circle View is highly unstable with its connection to HomeKit. A quick search of discussions on both Apple and Logitech community sites shows how the Circle View will arbitrarily disconnect from the HomeKit. Worse, there seems to be no definitive solution whether it's the transformer or the heat/direct sunlight or software bug. It really is a disruptive issue that comes in unannounced waves...so much so I'm looking at replacing my 5-month old unit with this Belkin model. -

Apple shares 'Foundation' recap ahead of season finale
It's the acting for me where I get the disparate feeling between Foundation and Dune. They are much more hit or miss in Foundation than Dune. I can easily get past the Gaal gender switch from book to series, but the acting is just so constantly melodramatic with the actress...the cerebral aspect of Asimov's character is lost in a series of romantic angst dialog and tantrum whining on par with a Disney Channel show. But Salvor and Brother Day put meat into their roles even as these characters take liberties with the book's versions. Their scenes get you engaged and looking forward to the next chapter.
In Dune, everyone seems a perfect fit and tone to the book, and no better than the actor playing Paul Atreides. Having read the book a long time ago, this nonetheless was the visual and temperament that I imagined for Paul. The rest seem well matched too (ooo...loving Skarsgard as Baron Hark!) and the only ones I see slightly weak are the over used Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa for character typecasting. It was a bummer when this reached the end, knowing the 2nd installment is probably years away since it hasn't even been green lighted yet.
It's just my take and as an old generation who read/lived these books long before attempts were made to cinemize them, I really like both despite any biased flaws I may see. -
