Apple's future smart home ambitions leverage robotics, and go far beyond simple HomeKit li...
Yabbut cell phones worked fine in 2005 too. And I had a record player back then as well.programmer said:
Not going to happen because there are numerous companies already solving it and therefore pricing has been driven down to minimal margins.eightzero said:I don't need a robot or smart technology in my home. I need wifi. Reliable, fast, affordable, secure, easily configurable wifi everywhere. AAPL used to make that. How hard is this? Put it in an Apple TV box, connect it to an antenna and a TV, offer mesh remotes. Pay for it with a subscription to "Apple VPN+" that is part of Apple One. Done.
Not gonna happen. Because robots.

Apple's next big thing could be a home robot
yup. this stuff is pure fantasy, much like that Apple Car story. Apple was never, ever, going to make a whole car.dewme said:I had to check the date on this one. Two days overdue.

The macOS Sonoma 14.4 update is breaking printers for some users
Confirmed. 14.4 got my Dell and my Canon. Right in the middle of US tax season. Nice.

Apple TV+ drama 'Masters of the Air' is most-watched series launch ever for the service
I take offense to that. My family served in the very unit that is depicted in this series, and were killed so you could enjoy freedom from those nazi's and fascists. Knock it off. And I will say that the actors in this series are (and look) way older than the kids that got sent off to defend others.sflagel said:
The word "maybe" does not qualify the war against the Nazis; it qualifies the evilness of bombing by clarifying that sometimes war is necessary, for example ("as" is a synonym for "for example") in the fight against the Nazis. It seems to me that we agree on this.foregoneconclusion said:
There's no "maybe" when it comes to Nazis. There were governments that tried appeasement and it didn't work out too well.sflagel said:Sugary war hero tripe. Somebody needs to acknowledge that all war is evil, all bombing is evil; maybe necessary evil as when fighting the Nazis, but still evil.
The soldiers depicted as heroes in this series are not morally better humans, they are equally evil as German soldiers; they just perform evil acts for a better cause.
