  • Limitations in HomeKit Secure Video plus Eve's macOS app on HomeKit Insider Podcast

    Agree with Flydog.  Would prefer at least a transcription summary of the Logitech Circle issues with SecureVideo.

  • Work on Apple TV+ thriller 'Tehran' second season has already started

    cg27cg27
    Tehran and The Spy (Netflix) are excellent.  

    I’ve always found it fascinating how spies can immerse themselves in closed off, repressive and paranoid societies that tend to be homogeneous (Russia, China, Iran, Syria, ...) and these two shows depict the high stakes extremely well.

    Hoping for more series like Ted Lasso, Tehran, Long Way Up, and science documentaries.  

    Would also be great if ATV+ could do some similar series as “Black Mirror” and “Love Death and Robots” (both Netflix).

  • Why Thread is a game-changer for Apple's HomeKit

    cg27cg27
    Excellent news, one day soon HomeKit devices will truly be Plug and Play, finally.  Actually, just Play, no Plug, in many cases.  Glad I’ve resisted the urge to plunge into any home automation, including HomeKit, knowing that it should be easier and better.

  • Apple TV+, now one year old, looks poised for growth

    Many of the Apple shows suck. That’s a problem.
    Exactly.  Seems they’re trying to appeal to everyone by not offending anyone.  Too tame, too PC, and too Hollywood.  Even the first person on Mars was going to be Chinese (gee I wonder if Apple was going for some brownie points despite China copying all the western tech) until, all too politically correct, it ends up being a group photo of all the first landers.  Warm fuzzies.  No wonder that show got canceled.

    Trying to be like Disney, which has no appeal to me or anyone I know unless they have young kids.  Even my 12 year old son doesn’t care for Marvel superheroes, Star Wars, or any of that other homogenized happy ending stuff Disney is peddling.  So hopefully Apple is not going that route.

    And that Sofia Coppola movie was complete crap.  Talk about nepotism.

    Think Different?

    Apple TV+ should have a “channel” that is a pseudo YouTube and Sundance Film Festival for anything shot and edited on Apple products.  They’d have a lot of submissions (for free) with very unique stories.  I’m tired of over polished turds from big Hollywood names that aren’t that creative or inspiring, but merely have high production values.  I’d much rather see fresh material and take my chances and skip through a bunch of stuff.  Plus a Rotten Tomatoes like rating system would help.  It would be fun.  It would allow Apple to nurture the next generation of Kubricks.  And it would give Apple an edgy, risk taking vibe.
