    I just asked Siri that question and my HomePod and Siri answered the correct time. This seems to be a made up issue.

    Why would you think it is? And why is anyone else's excitement or lack of it a concern to you?

  • New HomePod part leak shows off glossy display cover

    macguimacgui
    The display doesn't interest me as mine Gen 1 HPs are on a shelf out of normal foot traffic. Will the new HPs have something that interests me? Not likely. I'm sure there will be cool features, but nothing that will make me pop for new ones.

    I'm waiting to throw the switch on an AVPro, so most any other Apple gear will distract me from that goal.

  • Protesters close Chicago Apple Store over Palestinian employee firing

    macguimacgui
    Apple management at that store did make a bad decision — allowing employees to wear pro— political jewelry. Granting permission makes it tough to rescind it.

    Make political statements off the clock. Not on it. Did Apple give Espinoza the opportunity to conform to a required dress code? IDK. If offered the opportunity, did Espinoza comply or refuse? IDK. She asked permission and it was granted on two instances, according to the story.

    I would think store management would consider that fact before terminating someone's employment. Did they? Again the article doesn't say. If Apple said they changed their mind, and show up for work tomorrow, politically unadorned, then that's what employees would need to do. I'd want to know more before vilifying Apple or giving them a pass.

    Poorly written article at best.. “the "holy grails" of non-invasive blood pressure”.  Since when has blood pressure measurement been invasive?!  Maybe the author should look for a new physician.
    It's invasive as in having to prick your finger to get blood to take a real reading.  Non-Invasive is not having to do that.  There are a few patches you can get these days, but it is still invasive, but you leave the needle in guess, and safe for a number of days?   I'm not an expert in this area.  Even that would be invasive.  
    Cleary. What ralphie said.
