  • Three things Apple got wrong with the Vision Pro launch

    itinj24itinj24
    I’d like to note that when I preordered mine, I did the fit test multiple times and was given two different results.  21W and 33W.  I settled with the 33W but as the two week waiting period dragged on, I noticed that the majority of people were fitted for 21W. Got me wondering.  

    When I went to pick it up, I asked to try on both light seals before leaving and they were giving me such a hassle.  The rep told me she had to ask her manager first and I kept getting the run around saying the manager was busy.  Then they told me I can take home what I ordered and come back if it doesn’t fit right.   I told them I was not leaving without the proper fit and going to cancel my order if I don’t try on both light seals.  The whole ordeal took over an hour.  Needless to say I was extremely frustrated.  

    By the way, the 21W actually turned out to be the better fit, against the 33W that the Apple Store app recommended the majority of the time.

    Does the desktop Mac need a display for this to work?  In other words, can I just setup a Mac Mini and use the AVP as its only/primary display?  Guessing I’ll need one initially to setup the prerequisites like Bluetooth and WiFi. 
    And... is the connection between the two over an existing LAN? Or is it a dedicated Wifi/Bluetooth connection? 

    And will this work over the Internet if I'm in a coffee shop?
    In answer to the headless Mac mini question, set up originally using a display, connect a $8 HDMI spoofer plug so the Mac mini thinks it's connected to a monitor, and you're good to go.

    In answer to your question, RCS1000, it works with my Mac Studio with the Wi-Fi off, so existing LAN, it seems.

    It does not work over the Internet if you're in a coffee shop.
    Thanks for that!

  • Apple turns on HomePod's smoke alarm recognition

    It’s a pop up at the top of the Home app when you open it, like when there’s an update available.  I just got it on mine.

  • Wired CarPlay vs. wireless - the pros and cons

    itinj24itinj24
    My biggest issue with wireless CarPlay is that you lose connection to your home Wi-Fi network when CarPlay connects.  Living in an area with poor cellular service, I rely heavily on Wi-Fi to stay connected.  So if I go into my garage, start my car, wireless CarPlay connects. But then, while my car is warming up, I can’t set up a navigation route  because of the poor cellular connection.
