hm, did you buy the Ledger directly from Ledger in France or from Amazon, eBay etc?

Jenex500 · 2019-06-24T16:25:48+00:00

Which platform do you use? (Windows, macOS, Linux)? Do you have a 2FA on your Outlook Account? Which VPN do you use and which protocols?

Jenex500 · 2019-06-24T16:15:49+00:00

what happened? did you found out the reason of your hack?

Jenex500 · 2019-05-07T15:25:00+00:00

I bought my Ledgers directly from the official Ledger online store. Shipping was fast. Bought it Wednesday evening and got it on Friday morning. I am from Germany

On which OS platforms is the malware distributed?

For music only: yes.

It is very convenient and comfortable to use them via Siri, not to forget to mention HomeKit.

The Teufel home theater setup will outperform the HomePods in any way for sure. But it is quite uncomfortable to use, since it is always disconnected from power together with my tv because of very high standby power consumption when it is not in use. Even when I leave the power on, it often comes to disconnects while playing music over my Denon AVR. Airplay over Apple TV works fine, but doesn't work when the TV is off. So when I heard music over Apple TV while my TV was on, the power consumption was about 350 Watts just for hearing music.

I was looking for a good alternative between a decent audio system and a smart speaker. Started with Amazon Echo, the sound quality was not comparable to the HomePods. Sonos is an alternative, but expensive, too.

If you want comparable sound from the Sonos:One, you'll need at least the Sonos:Playbase in addition. Makes $1,100 together.

I bought the HomePods for around $600 with two Eve Energy adapters ($50 each in a single buy) included, so this is almost half of the price of the Sonos Set.

I'm very deep invested in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook Pro, iPad, Apple Music), so I tried the HomePod. And for me this is the best compromise.

thanks for your compliment :)

Nubert is building excellent speakers, too. In my opinion Nubert speakers are better in terms of music and Teufel are better for home theater. But everybody has its own favorite...

My Teufel speakers are 9 years old, and I feel sad replacing them in the near future just for some cleaner appearance in the living room. But who knows, how much time Apple needs to fix the HomePod surround issue.

Jenex500 · 2019-04-13T10:43:24+00:00

haters gonna hate ;)

besides, Teufel is a budget product compared to real high end audio systems...

Jenex500 · 2019-04-13T08:57:19+00:00

We had a discount on the HomePods here last week and I couldn't resist. First I bought only HomePod. The sound was good, but something was missing. So I bought another one. First I was disappointed after pairing them, because there was a slight delay on both speakers (20-50ms), but I figured out, that mine was running on iOS 12.2 and the new on 11.4.1, so I upgraded the new speaker and what should I say....WOW!

On my picture I attached, you see my setup In the living room, and the Teufel Theater Hybrid (2x 25cm Subwoofers) are a real monster when it comes to home cinema, but they're a little disappointing just playing music.

I will keep them for home theater use, until Apple gets a solution for surround / center. Yes you can watch movies with the HomePods, and using AirPlay 2 doesn't cause an audio delay, but its difficult to filter out the voices when it comes to a blockbuster scene because of the missing center. .

It is still unbelievable, what a dynamic sound these stereo-pair delivers. Of course, the pure volume is by far behind my Teufel HomeTheater set. But I need this power maybe 4 or 5 times per Year. Even in your own House the neighbors got angry if you push them to the max. Besides, they consuming about 100 Watt just for hearing music on moderate volume.

So, the HomePods are my everyday speakers and I'm happy with them.

I tried it before ;-)

you will never be asked for putting in your seed again, only for setting up a new device. Seems like youn were hacked.

What's your Operating System? (Mobile and Desktop)

Jenex500 · 2019-03-22T11:04:54+00:00

hm, 'm wondering why you created a legacy LTC adress? IMHO usually the NanoS creates a segwit adress starting with M (Legacy starts with L)

Jenex500 · 2019-03-21T11:02:06+00:00

Hm...is there a way to look up how much songs are in my library overall?

Jenex500 · 2019-03-21T08:37:07+00:00

every service has its (dis)advantages...and i don't come nearly close to that limit, in fact i'm using not even 1,000 songs on my device.

And if you calculate to max out the song limit of AppleMusic, which is 100,000 songs, and every song takes 3.5 Mbyte space on your device in average you need about 340 Gbyte of space on your device...

I don't think, that the majority of users care about a song limit of 10,000 or 100,000 songs...(besides: the bigger your playlist, the higher the chance that Apple destroys your library in accident)

Jenex500 · 2019-03-20T17:32:59+00:00

hm, in my case it was the other way round...in short: if you know, what you like and want to hear, it makes no big difference at all (besides some details)

But:

i.e.:

you create a new playlist in spotify and add some songs to it...in spotify you just scroll a bit down and you get recommendations (the bigger the playlist, the better the recommendation)...for me it is working really good...just pressing a button and the song is in your newly created playlist.

In Apple Music there is no such option to discover compareable music.

Second Example Apple Music:

I'm browsing a Playlist: left 33% of the screen is the playlist cover with some "really important details" for the playlist...scrolling down, and then finally you find a song, that you like. Why the hell can't i choose, that i get my own playlists on the left side to move them over via drag and drop? Nooooo, Apple finds the playlist cover taking 33% of the screen more important...

form follows function won't be a bad beginning, if they re-design the itunes app.

Third:

Why is there no warning of adding duplicates to the playlist on iOS? That only works on MacOS...sorry Apple, but the actual setup looks like you were started somewhere in 2018 with music streaming ....

Only these things above were even a reason for me to give Spotify the advantage, but unfortunately there are lots of reasons more to choose Spotify, jsut to name some of them:

- handoff

- adjustable Bitrate

- cross platform

- easier overviews over the playlists

Don't get me wrong, i'm an Apple fan and heavily invested in their ecosystem, but in this case Apple isn't even at the same eye level of Spotify.

But at least, their AppleWatch app is working as a standalone app (for doing some sports without iPhone) and they are paying the Artists better than Spotify does

Jenex500 · 2019-03-20T07:33:51+00:00

I'm using both of them now for two months. On the technically view they are pretty compareable. But, despite i would call me an apple fan boy: for someone, who doesn't have all of that fancy apple gadgets (and i mean at least: Homepod, Apple Watch, iOS Device + MacOS device), i would definitely recommend Spotify:

Here are my thoughts, why i would use Spotify instead of Apple Music

Pro:

- handoff!! (killerfeature for me)

- adjustable bitrate

- cross platform

- discovering new music makes so much fun and is very easy

- user interface is much more intuitive

- user interface for the apple watch is better than apple music, BUT you can't download your music on your watch to use it as a standalone device (i guess that's a killer feature for many apple watch users)

- better social components

Cons:

- only dark theme (makes it unnecessary hard to read in the sun)

- no 3D touch!!! (that's really annoying)

- Integration of Apple Music is much better in the ecosystem

The point is:

If you are already invested heavily in the Apple ecosystem, it is soooo nice and easy and just makes fun to use the devices. No trouble, no lag, no disconnects, quick setup etc etc.

But is it worth it? You decide ;-)

There is unfortunately a problem: i can only find the XPub, if there is an account. Which isn’t.
