I have a plan to set my stereo homepods on a wifi network that doesn't have internet access just to keep the stereo over wifi. I'm going to stream to them via airplay from the iPod, but Siri won't be able to transfer data over the internet.

Read the article! Never actually been thinking about it like that, but it makes a lot of sense. Seems like we’re heading deeper and deeper into the Matrix.

Bonus points for the Aqua reference!

But... But... Tim Apple put Satoshi's Whitepaper on all the macs, it cannot be !!!

I use an old and trusted amplifier, a good pair of speakers and a @jack input 😊 on my iPhone 6s.

Stupid story 😜

Just a few moths back 🍏 released a security update. It included a hot fix that limits the use of airdrop. Interestingly, this release coincided with demonstrations in CHN. Since demonstrations were ongoing, the authorities crippled reception and the use of messenger. So protesters used airdrop, a...

I will NEVER have one of those things in my home. It’s bad enough I’m already paranoid about my phone as it is.
