  • Apple's HomePod, HomePod mini 'largely absent' in smart speaker market

    virgilisleading42virgilisleading42
    I think the problem apple has is their voice assistant is terrible. They could totally win this market if they actually cared about Siri but it's just sooo bad. My mother is sight impaired. So we have used all the voice assistants to see which would make her life better for her in her house. Siri was terrible, it keeps giving a visual response to an auditory question and can barely do anything. Amazon and Google are amazing. For my mother we actually switched to google completely because it just seemed to be the best at audio intelligence. I would love so much for her to have the HomePod mini from a privacy standpoint but it's just not possible with how bad it is. The sound of the HomePod and HomePod mini is great, it's just Siri is the worst product that Apple makes hands down.

  • Adobe releases public beta of Premiere Pro for Apple Silicon

    virgilisleading42virgilisleading42
    Do people still use Premiere?

    I wonder if this wasn't more motivated by the fact that DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro are already native and have been from launch. Final Cut has always done well in it's lane and DaVinci Resolve has really taken a lot of market share from Premiere. It's free, includes a after affects competitor and an audio editor. Or if you buy the full version you get a lifetime license, so it includes future versions.

    I wonder if this is less about Apple pressuring them and more that people are switching to other compitition fast. Having an M1 mac has made me change programs I use on a regular basis to do whichever is native to the silicon. And I'll probably keep those changes even when my privous software becomes native.

    Only problem is the company will pull all the people that made the same bad governmental decisions in CA to TX. Eventually Texas will eventually end up ruined like Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, etc.
    You are so right and it's so sad.

  • Justice Department unveils legislation to alter Section 230 protections

    virgilisleading42virgilisleading42
    It's sad that both Biden and Trump want to do away with 230. Both have been very vocal about it, especially Biden. I wish they would leave it alone. The one positive is that with Trump in office it probably will never pass.

  • Compared: Magic Keyboard versus Brydge Pro+ for iPad Pro

    virgilisleading42virgilisleading42
    Second the battery life question. Does the Apple keyboard change the battery life of the device a lot?
