  • Teardown shows AirPods 4 still unfixable by the public

    Who the eff cares about repairing an AirPod themselves? Seriously? Majority of today’s generation can’t even boil water. Give me a break.

  • 'Wolfs' is the most-watched movie on Apple TV+ ever

    Watched this with my wife and son a few days back. It wanted to be a Shane Black movie, but didn't have his sensibilities, rhythm, energy, or smartness (see The Nice Guys for how it's done - a movie that gets more than a few nods from in "Wolf").

    Some smart dialogue, but it felt very oddly paced, sparse, and aimless. There's no way this should have been a theatrical release - it quite firmly has a made for TV feel.

    These streamers need to focus on quality scripts first and foremost. "Wolfs" needed one.

    5.5/10

  • Sonos CEO insists iOS app cannot be rolled back to the older, better one

    This is fatal-blow level error IMO for a company - you do one thing, and you bork it so severely, They could not have tested the app extensively, OR AT ALL, given the number of problems. How poorly run can a company be that this gets anywhere near the App Store for release?

    I still cannot add song to a Sonos Playlist, and still get something wrong errors accessing recently played content from their Home Screen, and Apple Music content played from the Sonos app is way too loud, and the lowest volume levels cut out completely.

    This is ongoing for months now.

    So no more Sonos for me. Ever

  • Future Apple Vision: What to expect from Apple's next headsets

    I hope Apple doesn’t sacrifice display quality in an effort to make it cheaper 
    In fact, we need much more resolution (pixels per degree) than less. Right now it's 34 ppd, which is excellent among headsets, but less than half of an iPhone or iPad held at normal distance. I could not get over the softness of text and icons during two demos, so between that, below average pass-through quality, and glare in many instances, I could not purchase as much as I (thought) I wanted before the demos...
