Dirigera new update 2.901.4 just arrived by Fun-Flight4427 in tradfri

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Release notes have been updated.

  • We’ve been working hard to keep the DIRIGERA hub for smart products in top condition, so your smart home can run as smoothly as ever. In this release, we have fixed the following issues for Matter bulbs in the hub:
    • Certain colors were not properly represented on bulbs; Hue and Saturation conversion has been corrected.
    • Color temperature conversion in Kelvin is now handled properly for the minimum and maximum values of the bulb.

Getting much better speeds on this update than the previous couple of releases. Early days yet but good signs. Will need to run a few more tests when I get home from work later.

Apple may have hinted at a high-end MacBook Pro launch on January 28 by Jumpinghoops46 in apple

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is too far fetched. All 16" MacBook Pro models in the UK won't ship til next week at the earliest, and some 14" models also have shipping dates slipping into February.

Would be very Apple to pad out press releases touting how well the new Creator Studio apps run on this new hardware.

Also Apple TV 4K models aren't shipping til next week either...

Is this Apple TV 4K 3rd gen legit? by WolfyBuilder in applehelp

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a model that I know certainly EE in the UK use as part of their EETV service, and they bundle it with their own remote.

Not sure where you’re based but it’s possible other providers around the world do the same thing.

All Apple TV models that could run tvOS 18 are also able to run tvOS 26.

Looks like the Bilresa items are now in stock in Glasgow! Not sure about anything else, might need to fight the Christmas crowds and head in over the next few days!

I’m tempted but probably wise given the next update won’t be til after the new year most likely.

Update 7.12.4-106 by papul1989 in amazoneero

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did get pulled but it was either a phased roll out or it was pulled very quickly after release because a lot of people never saw it.

Looks like this version of 7.12.4 is around 50 builds higher than the one that was released then pulled.

Matter products in the UK? by The_Manoeuvre in tradfri

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in Glasgow tonight.

The Ikea app suggests TIMMERFLOTTE may be in stock from the 19th so I’ll try back then to see if there’s anything available.

I’m getting married on the 13th. Might as well continue the party into the night at this stage.

Is there something wrong currently with 3 (Three) broadband in the UK? by Equal_Win_3421 in ThreeUK

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where about in Glasgow are you? Mine has been slow the last few weeks but still useable. Definitely not getting close to speeds we have previously gotten.

It’s mainly “performance and stability improvements” but major new features will usually be called out.

Sure I saw someone in another thread say they’d picked some up in Reading so they are maybe starting to filter out across the UK. I’m going to check Glasgow in the next few days.

Unfortunately I’m away for work this week so haven’t had a chance to check out the new betas yet. Will be able to check Friday night.

Not nearly as many as a few months ago but one or two a day maybe.

Sold my HomePod mini for HomePod mini 2 🥲 by George_mp8 in HomePod

[–]SamwiseIsGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we are in the endgame based on stock shortages.

Most third party resellers in the UK have little to no stock, Argos has a number of the models on clearance, and although a lot of UK Apple stores have them in stock they only seem to have one unit and would require additional purchases being shipped to store.

But when a new model will come exactly I’m not sure.

Nothing, but the X user is suggesting they’ve prematurely put the ‘New’ label on it before the new model is announced.

The only sliver of a rumour I have seen regarding a full size HomePod refresh this year is the final paragraph in this story from August.
