  • HomeKit smart bulb maker Lifx acquired by Feit Electric

    KotzelKotzel
    After 5/6 years owning Hues/ LIFX / and trying others to find a 3rd place, I sold all my LIFX bulbs except for one about 2 years ago (about 20). They all (hue/LIFX) coexisted very peacefully for about 2 years. Including with the brilliant onSwitch app.

    I can’t tell you what happened with the LIFX bulbs, but I knew it was time for them all to go. At least they had great resell value.

    just 2 days ago I tried to get that one LIFX bulb connected yet again… no luck. I’m not sure if I’m torturing myself or just wanting to see one more time why I sold them all.

    In any case, I am done with lifx bulbs (at least for now). I’m all Hue indoor and out. 

    With my son’s room, I took a different direction. I’ve been looking at Nanoleaf lights for a very long time.

    I never pulled the trigger based on cost I guess. Being that they are celebrating 10 years, they introduced a limited edition black triangle set. I sprung for it.

    On a typical beige wall, the black triangles look like art when not on, or when very dimmed,  there are also some small white triangles in there.
     
    It all looks great. After Hue/ LIFX/ On Switch app, there is something still I appreciate about these new lights, this is all before you get to the app. It’s been 4 weeks, I still haven’t started using  them, and I’m one to try everything soon.

    I am very close to getting rid of my Hue indoor lights replacing them with NAnoleaf, if and only I can catch nanoleafs on sale.

  • Stage Manager for iPadOS 16 limited to M1 over memory, storage speed requirements

    I still think Apple alienated all IPad Pro owners outside the M1 variants. I’m trying not to be upset or cry over it.

    Still as an 2018 iPad Pro user I’m disappointed, but I’ll get it over. The thing is I’m demoting my iPad Pro to a status of “will never be greater than what it is right now” :(  Apple, I think that’s a big (iPad) problem..

    yet I will live… but apple “ I won’t buy another iPad for a very very long time”
