Follow-Up: I think my HomeKit set up is mostly back to normal. I was a little stupid and didn’t take backups / exports…so I lost some historical data (mostly temperature / humidity / air quality) but at least my Holiday automations are working again. ๐๐
-
My HomeKit set up has been rock-solid for years but the minute I added a Matter plug (the “Meross Matter Smart Plug Mini”), everything breaks…and as it’s Apple land, where everything works perfectly until it doesn’t, fixing it is going to be…unpleasant. ๐ฑ๐ญ
-
Follow-Up: The IKEA Sonos speaker is working perfectly (which is more than I could ever say of the HomePod Mini stereo set up) this morning; holiday music is flooding the room whilst I’m debugging some legacy Java code. ๐ค๐ (Yes, I had a spare speaker lying around… ๐คฃ) ๐ท
-
I give up, it’s time to throw in the towel on the HomePod set up in my house and just go get cheap Sonos speakers from IKEA. ๐ฎโ๐จ It’s hilarious Sonos does a better job at implementing AirPlay than Apple, I’ve had so many issues trying to play to multiple speakers over the past two years. ๐ฑ
-
Follow-Up: The package was found in the bushes below my house, next to the sidewalk…completely soaked and disfigured from the rain. ๐ง๏ธ I’m guessing the steps were just too much for the delivery person, all ten of them. ๐ Also, there is no way that box can fit in my mailbox, so again, someone lied.
-
So, either Amazon is lying, the US Post Office is lying, or someone has taken my new Kindle from my mailbox. ๐ญ๐ญ

No SimpliSafe, I don’t “miss you protecting me," if I did miss you I wouldn’t have canceled your service. In fact, if you hadn’t tried to gouge me, forcing me to pay you an extra $15 a month because I had “old” hardware, I’d likely still be paying for your service. ๐คญ

I realize I have an old Kindle (it’s the first version of the Paperwhite) but would it really be so hard for Amazon to auto-sync the time on the device like every other network connected device in the modern age? ๐คฃ

โ๏ธ Apple Watch Update: After it crashed at breakfast, I just got a “you’re almost out of battery” notification…and it’s only been three hours since I put it on. ๐คฌ๐ชซ I’m still paying for this piece of junk… ๐ฑ๐

Another day, another issue with watchOS 10.1 on the Apple Watch Ultra v1. I have never been this disappointed in an Apple product before. โ๏ธ๐ฑ Two hardware resets and the issues still persist.
-
This has to be the buggiest version of WatchOS Iโve ever used. ๐ญ Even after an erase / reset, the battery is draining too fast. The heart rate complication doesnโt work anymore. Now I canโt get into the widgets, which means a restart. What is going on at Apple?! ๐ฑ
-
It was just starting to feel like autumn but this week…not so much. ๐
-
I’ve been bashing my head against the Micro.blog theming system, trying to get it matching the one on my primary website but given the time of day, it’s time to shutdown and try again tomorrow. ๐ฑ๐ฎโ๐จ

Anyone else out there noticing an uptick in iCloud email spam? This is getting a little sillyโฆ

Is anyone else out there having issues with their Apple Watch Ultra v1 after upgrading to watchOS 10? Even after the unpair / pair dance, my battery is dropping far too fast, havenโt even had the watch on for eight hours and Iโm at 40% left. ๐ค๐ญโ๏ธ
