Demolition Man?? Can’t wait for this to go wrong.

I’m still running a DS414 filled with WD Red drives. I’ve only swapped out one of the drives as it was starting to have issues. I’ve considered upgrading for more features (Docker, Home Assistant etc) but can’t justify the expense just for “nice to have” instead of “need”. Realistically it only stores Linux ISOs that I get with Download Station.

Not seeing this behaviour on my Mini5…

This is awesome and terrible at the same time. Now we’re back to endless notifications that we can’t disable. I’m getting dozens of notifications a day from the shortcuts app for the newly allowed background automations.

Showed up for me within 10mins of the update dropping but my brother’s still aren’t showing anything 9hrs later.

Boring. Once again I had to watch the event after work and found myself skipping through the majority of the presentations. The only thing that caught my eye was the new action button and titanium chassis. Just need to make the button orange to match my Ultra all around. /s

I still see no reason to “upgrade” from my 12 ProMax.

Apple Music because it’s fully functional/supported across all Apple devices. I have iPhones, iPads, Watches, MacBook, HomePods & Apple TVs. No need to screw around with trying to airplay Spotify to a HomePod when it’s just available natively with Apple Music. Apple Music can be integrated into “scenes” in the Home app. Apple Music can stream over cellular on an Apple Watch. I pay for Apple One Premier and share with 5 family members, FWIW.

Check out an app called Sleep Cycle. It has Hue integration built right in. No need for IFTTT.

The native iOS clock app has a feature where you can set a timer. At the end of the timer you can choose “stop playing” instead of an alarm tone.

iOS has built in “background sounds” that you can customize in settings>accessibility>audio&visual and then trigger via control centre. Works while playing other media at the same time.

You can setup a “personal automation” in the shortcuts app to start your Spotify playlist when you stop an alarm. Can’t think of any way to slowly increase the volume though.

As someone else mentioned, you can use an NFC tag instead of a QR code.

My biggest gripe is that no matter how many times I tell Siri that I hate country music (and I hate it with a passion that burns hotter than the sun) she never learns. Every time I open the app there’s a suggestion for country top hits or whatever. I’ll listen to just about anything else but I HATE HATE HATE country music.

86% is a very suspicious number if you ask me. My launch day 12 Pro Max has been at 86% health for at least 6-8 months. My launch day Series 4 Apple Watch was at 86% health when I upgraded to the Ultra on launch day… if I had a tinfoil hat I’d probably want to know more about the meaning of 86%.

I use iCloud mail because everything I own is Apple. You just can’t beat how it syncs between my phone, Watch, iPad & MacBook. FWIW, the native mail app is the only one that can compose a new email from scratch on an Apple Watch. I’m all in with Apple services.

I have it set to low at the moment. There are several curtains that move around a tiny bit when the A/C comes on. I haven’t run the empty room calibration yet since the update completed yesterday. I’m going to see if it learns in the background for a day or two before I try that. Let the update “settle in” if you know what I mean.

While I do notice a difference since the update, I’m still having a bit of ghosting. It doesn’t handle dogs as well as I’d hoped it would. He’s a big dog (100+Lbs) so it should be able to track him easily enough. I just checked and my living room FP2 thinks the dog is between the sofa and the coffee table. He’s definitely not there. He got off the sofa and left the room. Yes, he’s several inches taller than the coffee table so he should have been tracked without an issue.

I’m running a DS414 to an TV 4K playing my MKVs in Infuse Pro. No complaints at all.

Mlem and Memmy aren’t “Hacked”. They’re in beta testing right now in the official Apple TestFlight program.

All Safari for me. Keeps iPhone, iPad and Mac experience the same and syncs everything perfectly.

Where is it? How do we get it? TestFlight beta?

Absolutely!
