I live in Santa Fe, NM. A friend had her house broken into and her computer and iPad we taken. She went to the police and using “Find my devices” showed the police where her property was. She was told they did not have the resources to recover her property. So I am not surprised they won’t do anything for possible crimes.

I don’t own a Wink hub. But looking at their website it appears they mostly support automating other companies hardware. Ring and Nest for examples. So if I don’t want to pay for the subscription I can still manage all my devices with the native apps provided by the hardware manufacturers. The way the story reads to me is everyone is going to have a box full unusable hardware that has the Wink name on it. Looks like a hub is all you will have wasted your money on. Since I am not a Wink customer, someone correct me if I am wrong.  This is why I never have purchased any hardware that required a hub to operate, with the exception of Homekit compatible.  I know Apple will be around for a long time and it is extremely unlikely that they will ever tell me I have to pay a subscription fee to them to use my Apple TV. I think Wink just decided to delay having to file bankruptcy.

Where have these masks been for the last month? Why are they just being donated now? Why does Apple have 9m?

Cook said Apple was sourcing suppliers for the health supplies and then donating them. It could’ve been a mix of storage and buying them from suppliers. Don’t assume you know the whole story. 

Cook is the king of the supply chain and he can find anything.

It still seems odd. If these masks existed somewhere than why did Apple have to track them down. If I had masks I would have started contacting hospitals myself to sell them weeks ago. It is not like nobody knew they were needed.

No surprises here. Newer technology is faster than older technology.
