  • Hands on with Apple's new HomeKit architecture in iOS 16.2

    How do you get the update to 16.2 for the original HomePods? I have updated all devices that interact with the Home app to the latest Beta version ie. 16.2 but when I attempt to initiate the "Home Upgrade" I receive the message that the HomePods need to be updated to 16.2 before I can initiate the "Home Upgrade"
    Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
    From Reddit, some have reported success by removed all OG HomePods from their home. Then doing the update followed by adding the HomePod OG back to their home. Beta caveat emptor.

  • Home automation standard Matter one step closer to use

    Weird, the latest iOS has made my HomeKit thread devices much more robust over thread and now none, including nanoleaf, fall back to bluetooth as was the case intermittently before. Just showed that Apple has issues in their HomeKit networking prior to Matter. Hope some of this gets fixed with the iOS 16.1 "HomeKit network architecture" updates talked about at wwDC.

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

    Depends on his vesting schedule how long he can delay payment. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/tax/09/restricted-stock-tax.asp  The option to donate as of yet untaxed shares that have increased in value on paper also offers more tax advantages than donating already taxed salary. Can structure/choose to take less actual monetary salary in the years of RSU vesting decreasing other taxable income for that year. No such luck for anyone with a w2 income.
