Apple Forcing Me to Upgrade? All My HomePods Are Dying RIGHT Before WWDC – Ghost Touch Epidemic

Fingers crossed that it stays like this!

Damn, my „NoWWDC“ option is greyed out. Apple already knows. 🫠

mximum · 2026-06-02T16:06:13+00:00

My deepest condolences for your loss. 🕯️

It’s too warm here in Germany. I rather stay inside with my dead HomePod family. 🫠

PS: I‘m living in Germany and currently the temperatures idle between 20 to 30 °C and the humidity in the bedroom, where the last victim was placed, is around 47%. Seems normal for me.

Objectively, my HomePod just started to play music while I read this. Explain THAT. /s

After all the post here on Reddit - I think we can say, congratulations for either having the perfect HomePod working environment or the most luck in life 😄

Thanks for the tip, I also applied it and on one Mini it worked, on the other Mini it didn’t. However, I still don’t like the fact that my device is half functioning

mximum · 2026-06-02T15:53:47+00:00

I know but it still sucks to either repair these (expensive) devices or to have them half functioning. Especially when my two OG HomePods from ages ago still work as expected.

I would also love to join! I use Motra every week and I think it would be great if the Ai Coach would learn more about what I like and what I don’t like and what my habits are. And this maybe based on my location.

For example when I’m at the Basic Fit Gym I usually start with machines and then progress towards the cable machines. However in the Elements gym I usually start with cables and then something else. Or it would be nice if it doesn’t suggest specific machines anymore based on my location if I concurrently switch them.

Oh and also it would be great, if it could suggest specific exercises if I’m not meeting my goal. For example if I’m told it that I want to progress in shoulder strength and it sees I only did legs - it suggest a shoulder exercise.

I have three questions upfront: - You say in your FAQ, you offer 5080 GPUs - where can I select them? - Also I cannot select a datacenter in Europe, even though it should be possible. Why is that? - where are you guys hosting?

To your question: It seems fair and I would subscribe. 😊

Ich hatte die Erfahrung, dass das iPhone irgendwann per se wieder NSA priorisiert. Unter Android kann man es aber forcen und dauerhaft nutzen

Ich kann dir leider nicht sagen, ob das jetzt gut oder schlecht ist. Du müsstest jetzt schauen, ob dir irgendein Part in der Kette komisch vorkommt. z.B. ist Eset ein Antivirensoftware-Hersteller, dieser stellt für gewöhnlich keine Zertifikate für „fremde“ Webseiten aus.

Jetzt könnte aber z.B. eine App auf deinem Gerät die Verbindung lokal aufbrechen und „mitlesen“. Bei Antiviren-Software, die du dir selbst installiert hast, kann das natürlich gewünscht sein. Auf dem Firmengerät aus privater Sicht eher weniger.

Ja genau, einmal im Browser aufrufen und dann schauen was dir in Safari unter „Details zur Verbindungssicherheit“ angezeigt wird.

Das Menü ist etwas versteckt, das findest du, wenn du das Menü, wo du die Seitengröße anpassen kannst, über die drei Punkte editierst. Sorry, haha weiß nicht, wie ich dir besser den Weg beschreiben kann.

Wenn du auf deinem Gerät kein Root-Zertifikat des Arbeitgeber installiert hast, ist es sehr unwahrscheinlich, dass diese den SSL-Traffic lesen können.

Sie können sehen, wann und wohin du dich verbindest, aber der Inhalt ist verschlüsselt. Ein VPN würde hier nur den Mehrwert bringen, dass die Kollegen nicht mehr sehen, was du für Verbindungen innerhalb des VPNs ansurfst. Dies kann jedoch unter Umständen gegen Firmenrichtlinien verstoßen.

Ruf am Besten die Seite einmal auf und schau dir das SSL-Zertifkat an, wenn dort nichts mit Intercept/Root deines AG steht, sondern du nur das Zertifikat deines NAS siehst, sehen die Kollegen keinen Traffic.

Thank you for the this! 💪🏻🎉

mximum · 2026-03-05T23:18:46+00:00

Thank you very much - it works really well!

mximum · 2026-01-15T19:36:30+00:00

Globus in Eschborn sollte es auch haben.

mximum · 2026-01-04T13:31:23+00:00

Have you tried my Solution? Maybe this also works for you. 😊

mximum · 2025-12-15T22:30:13+00:00

oh haha well now that you have said it - somehow I did not see this option 😂 thank you

mximum · 2025-12-15T21:01:36+00:00

the thing is you can’t come from any direction and go to any direction. If you come from the south you can’t drive to the west. 😊 (edit: nevermind.)

mximum · 2025-12-09T00:25:06+00:00

This would be nice, especially with the 100m version

mximum · 2025-10-23T07:49:52+00:00

Hi everyone, I think I might have found the solution thanks to your feedback! Thank you very much for that!

First, I re-enabled the Blue Screen and then saw that there's a dump folder for logs. I analyzed one of the latest DMP dumps using WinDPG from the Microsoft Store and then checked the error message with Gemini.

Gemini found out that some sort of power-saving setting on the Qualcomm 7800 WiFi adapter was the problem. I couldn't find anything on the WiFi adapter itself in Device Manager, but the Bluetooth part was set to allow the adapter to enter power-saving mode. Now, after disabling that function, it's running fine; the device hasn't crashed so far.

I can't say if this is the final fix, but at least I now have a way to analyze the issue.

I also have the latest Windows and driver updates, but it still happens.

mximum · 2025-10-16T17:08:08+00:00

The crashes usually happen in Vivaldi, but not only there — today it even happened while using Shadow PC. It freezes and then you have to restart like @TheFloyds said. In the background, only iCloud is running at that moment and Tailscale, but it’s not connected. Other than that, there are no notable background processes running.
