  • iOS 18.4 will force users to upgrade to the latest HomeKit architecture

    I don't think there is any evidence that the new HomeKit architecture will make "older smart home accessories inoperable". Nothing in my home , which included some fairly old accessories , had any issues.

    I switched over fairly early to the new  architecture and my only issue at the time was with my family joining my "Home" via invitations. 

    HomeKit seems very solid now.

  • Apple confirms that Apple Intelligence Siri features are taking longer than expected

    You guys don’t reflect what most people use Siri for. 99% of people use Siri to dictate text and read messages or emails, and get directions using maps-  and it’s damn good at that. I don’t find google much better with understanding speech, if at all. And the second use case is to control a smart home. For both of these use cases Siri works great. If you want to ask idiotic questions about how many super bowls some team won, then go ask google. For complex questions, you want to have an interaction with ChatGPT but that’s a separate way to work with AI, and not really what Siri is intended for. Apple intelligence is not Siri. All the other tools like summaries and email categories are actually super useful. Apple has to build out massive AI compute farms and integrate Siri into iOS and apps, that takes time. And Apple likes to get things right.

  • Tim Cook quits Apple for Lumon Industries in 'Severance' promo

    Tim Cook is the ultimate CEO.. he puts his personal feelings on hold and just does what has to be done . I imagine him washing his hands for 2 minutes and maybe up chucking after dealing with the petty orange dictator.

  • New UK ID app yet again fumbles tech that Apple has already perfected

    I wouldn’t say it’s politically leaning as it bashes both sides.. the UK is notorious for being more than capable of shooting itself in its own foot ….on more than one occasion.
