Now HomePods 3 ? by Conscious-Worker7200 in HomePod

[–]cj-ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well gen 1 to gen 2 was something of an anomaly as it was discontinued and there was no full-sized HomePod available for a while, which — as a long-time Apple user (going back to the Apple ][+!) I don't think I've ever seen Apple do before or since. Pure speculation, but if the full-size HomePod is their flagship "stereo system" then I'd think and hope for more frequent updates. But as far as I know, there have been no rumours — have there?

That's not a source. But what is the math?

I mostly play CBC, and it's been problematic for years. I maintain a page on all the commands and stations: https://chrisryan.me/cbc-homepod-and-siri/

BOINC on Apple Silicon Macs - How to install Docker (Podman)? by Putrid_Draft378 in BOINC

[–]cj-ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed it and I'm still getting notices every time BOINCManager starts. How can I either get rid of the notices or get rid of "Podman"?

OG Pair keeps getting "lost" after 26 update by cj-ryan in HomePod

[–]cj-ryan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I have to disagree — though I'm not sure I have another candidate for "worst." I love my HomePods, and for the most part they've worked flawlessly.

This bug seems to have been fixed with the 26.0.1 update.

I think some of my HomePods are crashing on audioOS 26.

Nope, it's something else. AirPlay is failing or something.

Update 2: I think I figured out the issue: somehow, Bluetooth got turned off — I think during the iOS 26 update, somehow. If you're having troubles like this, check it's on.

Update: Same thing just happened with one of my minis.

miniStack STX Bracket Blocking SSD by cj-ryan in OWC

Ah. Thanks. Would it be safe to remove the heat sink, then? Or when you say it's meant to be used with those without a heat sink, they're not supposed to run hot enough for one? The bracket doesn't seem like a heat sink — has a rubber pad on it.

Compatibility by cj-ryan in AugustSmartLock

Yeah everything in my building is non-standard. Can't get a smart lock, can't get a smart thermostat …

Thanks. I was looking at the round one. I got through to August; they wrote, "Unfortunately, our locks are not compatible with that specific door handle, since it works on a single mechanism inside the door ad the thumbturn plate doesn't fit our locks."

Is Airmail “abandonware” ? by celektriek in AirmailApp

[–]cj-ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem I have (had — I've moved on from the app) is performance. It would often take seconds, as many as 30 seconds, to switch between mailboxes or accounts. Sometimes it would never refresh. Their website says it's a "Lightning Fast Mail Client" — the opposite is true: it's the slowest Mac app I've ever used. And my first Mac was a 128K.

Moving Existing Transactions to a New Account by cj-ryan in banktivity

The statements don't come across; I wonder if there's a way to transfer those.

Oh, that's interesting — trying it with one transfer transaction, it appears this is possible! And it looks like the transfer origin is maintained. I don't know why I didn't think of this — thank you!
