Tip: if you're like me and updating your Apple TV to tvOS 27 made every HomeKit device unresponsive, sign out of your Apple account on the TV, reboot, sign back in, and it should be fixed

Was curious how much the 17 Pro and 18 Pro differed in size. Gonna guess not much if the Apple Store is installing 17 Pro screen protectors on the 18 😆

Does Jev support multimodal input? Could you give it a photo of someone's face and request it to identify if they're happy, sad, or neutral?

Codex needs a setting like "if I haven't interacted with you in 2 hours and there's an update you want to install just do it". Love the updates but seems like there's always one

Any pics of MagSafe attaching to the Duo? Curious how that looks/where the magnet is positioned, will determine which batteries can attach to it

Took the common recommendation and got the Inovelli White smart switch. Beautiful and love the LED bar, but the paddle sometimes doesn't respond, seems like an unfortunately wide spread issue (and a dealbreaker) for such an expensive switch. Zooz next? community.inovelli.com/t/consider-...

As far as smart home light switches go, why aren't rotary dials more common in North America? Obvious on/off toggle, can't get "out of sync", even easier dimming than paddles, long-press actions, etc. Is there a downside beyond convention? (I'm aware of Lutron's janky one)
Rotary dimmer switch, just a circular button you can press or rotate

Smart home people: for standard looking smart paddle switches, do you keep the usual top = on / bottom = off behavior, or assign each half to a different light and have each button toggle its light on/off? I’m leaning toward the latter, but wondering if it would confuse guests

If you were choosing to buy smart light switches in 2026, which brand/model/protocol are you going with, and why? (Has to support smart bulb mode and not fully kill power to the bulb, I like my color temperature auto changing over the course of the day!)

The Fitbit Air is interesting
The Apple Watch is one of the most fascinating pieces of modern technology for me. A gorgeous screen, an abundance of sensors, and a bonkers amount of computational power in a tiny little package that fits on your wrist. It reminds me of the Vision Pro in that a good amount of the time I put it on I can’t help but smile at how far technology has came.

Any products that you all recommend that are like SPAN smart smart electrical panels but without all the cloud dependency bs and can be ran locally? (I don't love the idea of something so important being reliant on a server somewhere existing forever.)

Curious, any Canadian folks have experience with getting larger home batteries installed? It seems like per the electrical code, going beyond 80 kWh can be tricky (not much if you have 2 EVs), so interested if folks have navigated this

Discovery: If you have Hue lights and want a single Hue dimmer switch button to *toggle* lights on/off, this is really slow in Apple Home (you need to run an actual Shortcut). In Home Assistant there's just a toggle command that is literally 10x faster. 2.5 seconds -> ~200ms 🥳

Anyone have a “smart lights” flow they really like? Currently have Hue and don’t love the lag/occasional bugs/weird switches so probably moving to Lutron, but I *do* love how Hue changes color temperature over the course of the day. Anyone pair both smart bulbs and switch?

Docker noob here. Anyone seeing Docker on Mac getting IPs completely mixed up, where destination IPs are getting assigned as the source IP? Isn't that like… a security issue? Or am I being a noob? (New Mac mini, new Docker install, no iCloud Private Relay, no VPN)
A Terminal showing setting up nginx and jellyfin as services in docker, then running docker, then making a request to nginx and it showing an incorrect IP address as the one making the request (not my local address) and instead it being from a random, public-facing Jellyfin IP
