  • Yale Assure Lock 2 works with HomeKit to secure homes

    I wonder if the Matter smart model is thread? For wireless networking, Matter only uses thread or wifi, Bluetooth is used only to commission the device and not used otherwise. With that in mind why have a different module for Matter unless it uses thread?

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook receives 255,000 shares of Apple stock

    Some one needs to lecture Apple/Cook and the bad politics of evading ceo taxes. Apple and Tim offer opinions on a multitude of nonfinancial sociopolitical topics why not this one?

  • Aqara pledges support for Matter, updates coming

    vesaliusvesalius
    Like hue, seems they will leave the Aqara devices to Aqara hub network unchanged with Zigbee and just add Matter as a communication protocol from the Aqara hub out to your smart home hub.

    So in the end this means little to nothing practically as Aqara neither gains any function/integration ability it does not already have with alexa/google home/HomeKit (Aqara hubs currently supports them all today) nor will it lose the separate hub requirement. Losing the Aqara hub would require them to switch to thread from Zigbee for each device.

  • Apple suppliers in China accused of racial discrimination in job ads

    vesaliusvesalius
    Apple/Tim cook comments, opines and writes on what he considers US discrimination outside Apples supply chain all the time. Apple opens themselves up to appropriate criticism by putting their head in the sand to even worse government sanctioned discrimination and at times genocide in China for what anyone and everyone knows is business/financial reasons. 

     Virtue signaling when it helps with US customers and not when it’s uncomfortable with the Chinese government.

  • Apple began "Project Purple" because Steve Jobs hated Microsoft exec, says Scott Forstall

    AppleInsider 
    On a more personal note, Forstall revealed Jobs saved his life in the early 2000s. Around 2004, Forstall contracted a stomach virus from his children. The ailment turned into a much more serious condition that had Forstall constantly vomiting. Over the course of two months, the executive lost some 60 pounds and was hospitalized, with medical staff forced to feed him through a tube.

    During the ordeal Jobs would call on a daily basis, checking in and offering non-traditional health advice.

    "And one night at about 10 o'clock at night -- this is now months into it -- Steve calls and says, 'I have the best acupuncturist in the world and I'm going to bring her to you tonight and she's going to fix you," Forstall said.

    The unconventional treatment worked.

    From what I know, This faith is unconventional medicine would unfortunately ultimately contribute to Jobs death. He pursued non-traditional medical treatments for his pancreatic cancer, which was not the aggressive death sentence type until it was too late for traditional medicine to treat it effectively.
