The firmware on the remote was supposed to update after updating the AppleTV. I guess the update didn’t fix it. Pressing TV and volume down for a few seconds restarts the remote which usually fixes it for a while.

I’m gonna keep using my old watch until I see a compelling reason to upgrade (like built in blood pressure or blood sugar readings). So far I haven’t seen any new hardware or software updates that feel like must haves.

What went wrong: The US government allowed studios to own streaming and broadcast channels. This resulted in extreme fragmentation of the market where programs were no longer sold on the open market and every studio felt like they had to open their own streaming channel to compete.

It didn’t work when studios owned movie theaters and so that was outlawed. Now we’ve come full circle and studios can buy movie theaters. That’s not going to save the theaters because the studio is going to put their product out for a week before shuffling it off to their streaming channel. Or worse, cancel it for a write off rather than let it air on competing networks.

I really wish Apple had shipped this thing. There was also a tablet sized Newton in the works which would have been great.

Just what we needed, more fucking mergers. 

His character (and species) was the best part of Discovery.

Not enough mini figs waiting in line for tech support.

Bring back Hemmer!!!

That looks amazing. Makes me wonder why they didn’t sell a monitor like this back in the day.

Fantastic actress. She kicked ass as Rosalynd Sheas on L. A. Law among other great roles. Did a great job as Pulaski as well. I really wish Trek would give Pulaski a shout out on one of the other series currently in production.

Yea. They have been treading water to concentrate resources on Tim’s Apple Vision. Just incremental product bumps (thinner! faster!) and a real dearth of innovation in UI. I expect things to change when Tim finally retires. I hope we get Federighi as the new CEO because he is younger and seems enthusiastic.

“Last year, he lost $1 million in a public bet after wrongly predicting a massive surge in the price of Bitcoin.”

Tells you all you need to know about this “genius”. 🙄

I’ve never needed a screen protector on any iPhone. It’s gorilla glass. Stop putting your phone in the same pocket as your keys. Or, consider getting a wallet case that has one of those flaps that covers the screen when it’s shut.

Homebridge covers a multitude of mistakes. For every non compatible device, you can usually find a Homebridge plug in that’ll make it work. The only exception I’ve run into is with Chamberlain garage door openers because the company is particularly aggressive about funneling you through their app.

I really enjoyed the live action cameos the two cast members did on SNW. Hopefully there will be more Trek work for them.

That last screenshot was a good build with an intuitive UI.

Meh. AFP copies were just as slow.

I doubt these engineers have been moved to this project unless there’s some technology overlap. Apple Vision is still in development and there’s a reduced complexity/reduced cost version to be worked on.

Pretty sure Apple Watch was already in progress when Steve was alive.
