Who the fuck tips their landlord anyway?

Singapore’s public transport system is fantastic. I lived there for 2 years and never felt like I needed a car. You only get one as a status symbol.

For me: iPhone, MacBook, and AppleTV4K are fantastic devices. Apple Music is great. If you want a smart watch and tablet, then the Apple Watch and iPad are also the obvious choices for those categories.

Anything else I could take it or leave it. HomeKit, HomePod, and Siri are atrocious in terms of reliability, which sucks because the Google and Amazon alternatives are a privacy nightmare.

Some of those categories of information (location, health, contacts for example) require the user to accept on an iOS prompt. The app won’t be given access otherwise. Apple are usually pretty strict about apps only asking for those permissions if there’s a valid reason. I’m curious to know what they would be though.

I still won’t be using the app.

Go to a chemist and get some pseudoephedrine. That stuff is magic for blocked noses.

I’m not saying that Vision Pro is guaranteed to be a success. But we see the same cycle with every new apple product category: Apple release something minimal and polished, the tech community finds a thousand reasons why it will fail, and then it…doesn’t. Happened with watch, AirPods, notches in screens, etc.

By the third or fourth iteration Apple’s going to demolish the AR industry like they have with every other product category they invest in.

Guest network on a separate VLAN is the way to go.

Is this for movies and tv shows? I fix it at the output level and leave my rips unchanged. Check your TV or AVR for a “night mode” or “dialogue enhancement” or use the “reduce loud sounds” system setting if you’re playing back an AppleTV.

If the issue is specifically quiet dialogue and loud action scenes, get a dedicated center channel and boost its volume by a few dB.
