Well, Prime Video for Apple TV is here, it works, except that I cannot get subtiles ! This is a big let down for me. However, checking the supported devices on Amazon site, subtiles are supposed to be supported on Apple TV (can be checked here) I tried rebooting the Apple TV to no effect. I checked "Menu > Settings > Apps" but the app is not even listed, there are no Prime Video specific settings, none! Within the app, there is a "Settings" tab, but nothing there concerning the hardware device being used. So if subtiles are supported on Apple TV, HOW do we get them?

  • Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium review: The best HomeKit thermostat gets better

    Can Alexa be totally, and I mean positively, disabled ? 
    I don’t want an Alexa device in my home with a microphone or camera !
    I wish any review covering HomeKit would talk about how confident the user can be that outgoing data will only be sent to Apple servers.  

    I purchased an Ecobee device a few years ago, but I picked the older version that was exclusively HomeKit, and it doesn’t even have a microphone. 

    I may consider buying the premium Ecobee, but I would open it up and physically cut-off the microphone connection. I don’t need to speak to Ecobee, I’m satisfied to use Siri on iPhone or Homepods…

    I dumped 1Password a year ago in favor of the free, built-in password manager in mac/iOS and haven’t looked back since. 
    Would love it if AI would do a piece on how to convert from 1Password to built-in. Is it possible to share passwords between family members the way we use Family Share for other Apple related things? Or is built in one limited to one Apple ID?
    Problem is… it’s not just passwords, it’s also secured free form notes, it’s password history, it’s free form comments on everything, etc… the Apple  keychain is too limited! I just cannot migrate everything I have in 1Password to Apple keychain, it won’t fit !

    Also, the ability to access the keychain just with the Mac session password, for instance, is troubling for me, not secure enough, because I don’t want the Mac password to be complicated (I feel this is OK because physical access to the machine is also necessary to get into it, except for password database). 
    If some elements of keychain could be made to require an extra protection with a complex password, I would feel much better with Apple keychain. 

    I make a strong distinction between the “casual” passwords, and the important ones for strictly confidential information.

    I am a very early adopter of 1Password, and bought each version until version 6, and recommended it all around me, but I feel the obligation to use their cloud is a complete betrayal !

    Many people complain about the subscription model, but for me it’s not that, I don’t mind paying a subscription for good software, developers need to earn a living.  Any software needs maintenance which is hard work, to be compensated for…
    BUT the inability too use iCloud synching, or local vaults, i.e., removing existing important features, crucial features… this is totally unacceptable! 
    Now I can no longer upgrade 1Password. I invested myself in it and I really feel betrayed. 
     
    I am not going to send my most private information to any private company… (except Apple). 

    So I’m hanging on to version 6 for now, but looking to move away from 1Password as soon as I find the time to study alternatives. 

    Shame on you, Agilebits !!!

    A quick Duck Duck Go search revealed this AppleInsider article…. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/221076
    :)  Kudos to you for not saying “I googled…”  :)
    Duck duck go is also my choice!

    I’m so tired of people asking me to “google something”, as if it were the only option!

    Personally, I prefer to say generically “do a web search”, which is exactly what it is, no need to give a free ad to the fake “don’t do evil”.  :/
