The current Apple TV could serve that purpose - no reason for it to run macOS. Or even to be any faster, the 4k Apple TV is surely fast enough.

I don't know if you missed it...but that is the focus of iOS 12. Performance is improved even on older devices and all devices that can install iOS 11 can install 12. There are barely any new features other than some small quality of l

I've noticed this, but my thought is that it is just the natural faraday cage created by having a cement building filled with metal shelves. Combine that with towers transitioning to use LTE over 3G and you get reduced coverage indoors

I don't disagree, but the light ring is also important to know that it actually heard your command. Having it on all the time would make the UX much worse. Unless it was a separate light.

Unable to unlock doors from the app or other automation - the keypad still worked. Still, this is the problem with all cloud based home automation platforms.

I went Z-Wave with home assistant. Not the easiest in terms of setup, but everything is run locally (I started on an rPi but am now transitioning to a Intel NUC.)

The difference is on iOS you can specify to share your location only when the app is running in the foreground. They could both still be improved - it would be nice if you could do one-time permissions, like access the camera, but only this

Does that actually happen though? That seems to be a bad algorithm if the one exception becomes the norm after reinforcing the correct action many times. I use Siri's suggested apps all the time (pulling down spotlight search and they

According to this ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303 ) everything is encrypted at rest on the server, except for mail. Everything isn't end-to-end encrypted, is that what you are talking about?

When I was a kid in the 90's I had the same experience. My family had friends that would just stop by and they would entertain them for an hour or two just to catch up. I think our "connectedness" killed this off - now we see

The $500 Mac mini can handle Xcode just fine, and that is a many year old machine that hasn't been updated. Maybe not if you've been spoiled on better hardware, but it performs adequately.

But even driving is going to have a massive impact, beyond just trucking. That will be the first to get hit, but then you hit the taxi services. And then the big hit - the entire auto industry. How many people are going to decide they don&#

My biggest issue with Instagram's algorithm is that it resets on every view. Which is understandable from a product marketers perspective - if a user sees the same post up top they are probably just going to close the app again. The pr

There whole system seemed a bit odd to me, given a password to your "account" is optional. Using the terminal you can login with no password, then at the end it asks you if you want to save your credit card to your account. Maybe

This is non-issue. Do you really want a mobile OS where third party apps can literally do nothing? No contacts, photos, camera, accelerometer, gps, microphone. Each one of those explicitly requests the users permission. Facebook would track

I think the trust is a new thing though, new to the social media age. I remember growing up with computers in the 90's and people I knew wouldn't even consider entering a credit card number on a website. Now we give them freely. P

The push/pull "mistake" is usually caused by poorly designed doors. Like putting a vertical grab handle on a door that pushes open.

I feel like it would be very difficult for them to dial back. In my area the same thing occurred. Google Fiber was announced, and suddenly AT&T had fiber to home options available. Then spectrum magically increased their available speed

I think so, at least in the US in the 90's when I grew up, thanks to things like the food pyramid containing grains as the base. Companies that had sugary/carb heavy products pushed the idea that fats were what caused weight gain.

Yeah, a few years ago I lost 55 pounds. The primary change was just cutting out soda and an increase in light activity (mainly walking.) Also drinking more water in general. I found for me that if I went to the gym and ran I would end up ov

I work remote, I enjoy working from my pleasant private environment about 90% of the time. But I get bored of it and want a change of pace, and I enjoy espresso drinks that I can’t duplicate at home. $25 a week spent on breakfast and coffee

Being someone who works remotely exclusively...I wouldn’t survive without going to a coffee shop to work 2-3 times a week. Just need to get out of the house and be around people sometimes (during the day.) People go to coffee shops to talk,

It is. But the issue is remote workers that go and take up a 4 person table with their laptop and a bunch of papers then sit there all day...meaning a group of 2-4 no longer has a place to hang out. I both work out of and hangout in coffee

I do think they are cool and could be useful, but not to the point of making someone that doesn't wear glasses want to wear them. My main problem is what does it give me over wearing a smart watch? The only thing I can think of is bein

The cars around that car are still communicating. So the car next to it sees a drastic speed drop and tells everyone else. Also say the cars regularly ping each other for updates, then one car that was in sight and is still in sight disappe

The vertical plane detection in ARKit is a very welcome addition. One of the main things I wanted to do with ARKit was to see how things will look hanging on my walls, before I actually put them there.

I've worked remotely for a company in another state for the past 5 years, I can relate to many of these issues. On socialization, I can understand the feeling there, but for me the solution was to find social circles beyond work. For m

It already is available on both the iPhone and Android through Siri/Google Assistant. Just ask them "What song is this?" This just seems to be an extension of it so you don't need to ask, the phone can just display the a

I agree with this. I was also a calculator-tinkerer who learned TI-Basic on my TI-83 (And later z80 assembly.) I doubt I would have ended up down the same path had I had an iPhone 7 instead. Yes, there are educational apps, but then again t
