    Nice to see that Apple's bad decisions have repercussions.
    The children protesting this should instead focus on being meaningful members of society. Apple is in the right here, 100%. It's a controversial and complicated war that Isreal didn't want or start, and Apple employees shouldn't be showing any visible support for one side.

  • Rachio abandons HomeKit for its smart garden sprinkler

    I'm still torn on whether or not to return mine. I have two problems here:

    a) I bought my Rachio 3 based on the fact that it has HK integration.
    b) Everything other than HK integration works really well, and frankly, when it did work, I didn't use it often.

    I will say that there was one time when Rachio's servers were down and I needed to test a zone (manually turn it on), it was really nice to be able to do it via HK. But I cannot remember more than 2 times that Rachio's servers were down - and both were brief.

    It really is a good product. My parents don't use HK, so honestly, there's no reason for me to even think about recommending they return theirs...

    So yeah, I'm torn on this. I just don't know if HK integration is really worth the hassle of returning and finding something else (Yardian?)
    Buy the Rachio 2. I’ve been using it since it first came out and it works flawlessly.

  • SwitchEasy MagPower 4-in-1 Charger review: Power up your whole kit

    So none of the charging pads offers fast charging. That’s the headline, as far as I’m concerned.

    If I’m going to use wireless charging, it needs to be optimized to fast charge iPhone and Apple Watch.
