  • ResMed Kontor Head Strap for Apple Vision Pro review: bring balance to spatial computing

    emoelleremoeller
    This has been unavailable for months from Apple (no stores have them in stock and they are not available from the link you provided - or any other link).

    If you really don't like your Med size Kontor I'll be happy to purchase it from you.

    Painless preorder process for Apple Upgrade Program,. App didn't make me wait long. Didn't stutter. No need to start over. Over and done in less than a minute.

    Then again, they have had decades of practice.... ;)
    Ditto!       I did find it odd that the carriers aren't having anything different to offer from Apple's options this time around.

  • iOS 18 Mail app will get huge AI enhancements & summarizations with 'Project Blackpearl'

    emoelleremoeller
    I agree with others - NONE OF THIS IS OF ANY VALUE until Siri actually captures and works with my voice, which it does not do now.   There needs to be some sort of training method to get Siri at six sigma recognition before any of this AI stuff will provide any meaningful value to users.

    Today simple transcription is barely at 60% accurate for me.   I have to scream at my HomePod in the morning to get it to play the Economist Intelligence podcast, even though I ask Siri to do this every single day right after I say "Hey Sire, what is my update?"  

    As I noted in the WSJ, during Apple's last earnings report the live screen transcription was a mess mis-stating what Tim had just stated.  Embarrassing to say the least.

  • How to refurbish a fifth-generation Time Capsule

    emoelleremoeller
    Excellent article - thanks.  I knew there was a reason I kept a couple of those around even after the hard drives failed.  This will be a fun weekend project.    I'll probably use an updated TimeCapsule to backup an older MBP that I still use.

    As for the other poster - Time Machine still provides exceptional backup for multiple computers (iMac, MBPs)  even though they run a mix of MacOS.    I've never had a catastrophic failure of Time Machine - but I have had hard drives fail, which is why I do a rotation on those (including off site for maximum safety/security).   I'm currently using a 18Tb WD as my primary backup hard drive.
