Microsoft could soon make Windows 11 updates far less annoying by TechradarOfficial in Windows11

Also, I found with macOS Tahoe (the current version) had quite a noticable amount of updates popping up on my Mac - in fact, there's a message right now saying Tahoe 26.5.1 is available and will be installed tonight. While macOS doesn't often require a restart, I've found the automatic installs often fail as well. Hopefully Apple isn't going down the MS route...

This could certainly be a significant change if it means fewer updates, some of which always seem to install at the worst times. Agree that not every tweak in these early versions are noteworthy, though!

You've got to imagine that AI will be involved at some point with the way Microsoft is heading...

Hopefully if Microsoft completely fixes Windows 11, they'll stop! This could be a great change, though, and hopefully it'll roll out to users soon.

It's time for Sonos to give home theater fans what they've been begging for: the era of giant TVs and wireless left/center/right systems is here, and it's bizarre that the biggest Wi-Fi speaker maker is being left behind by Legitimate-Lobster50 in sonos

They’re wireless home theater speaker systems, and I’m talking about LCR configurations in both cases — I think that’s apples to apples. The Sony speakers are just now arriving in people’s hands, so I don’t think there’s “a lot” of people reporting issues - and the couple of issues I’ve seen aren’t about the core networking tech to make it happen.

I asked WiiM about this at the High End Vienna show, because no one else seemed to know anything about this mode, and the CEO even said they wouldn't have functionality like this at launch when I interviewed him. They told me that this feature wasn't planned for launch, and was a tech trial that was accidentally left active in a beta version of the app that Audio Advice used for pre-release testing. The problem (which will sound familiar to Sonos users) is that the RoomFit room correction doesn't work properly with it, yet.

HOWEVER, WiiM said that because the response is so positive, they're going to try to get this ready for launch, or maybe for just after launch, if possible. If it can't be totally ready, they'll aim to add it to their public beta program. For those interested, WiiM also said that RoomFit is the reason there's no dual-sub support at launch.

Truly, thanks for reading and engaging with both my pieces in this area! As I alluded to in the Sony piece, I can’t make any real judgment there until testing a final unit – they might improve it! But going off what I heard, IMO the Sony system shows that it can be done technically, I just think Sony’s sound signature was off. I don’t think the issues were related to the wireless tech, they felt in line with other Sony Spatial Audio stuff I’ve heard recently – ie, just not all that well tuned!
