📺 I reviewed the M6 Mac mini and it got my Mac Studio sweating…and yes I do juggle several Mac minis in the intro. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=GJbrXjKN3VU

I wanted to get the new Screen Time features quickly so I could make a tutorial video, but it requires *all* devices signed in to any Family member account to upgrade to iOS 27 Some of the devices listed here I don't have anymore, and several are my Mom's which shouldn't be connected to Screen Time

Next time on hilarious HomeKit notifications. Shame it only does this for two cameras on the 6TB plan.

Apparently those file name suggestions are on iOS 27 too! When saving something to the Files app, delete the name, and in a sec you'll see suggestions based on the file content

📺 Lots of apps have been updated to support Siri AI, but how well that works is a bit hit and miss. I cover 18 apps in today's video with…varying results: youtube.com/watch?v=Ztnq8sD14wg

PSA: Be sure to check what HomeKit cameras are enabled for Apple Intelligence summaries. Depending on iCloud+ plan you only get 1, 2, or 5, and the defaults were not ideal. Now I'm getting summaries like this. Home app > Home Settings > Apple Intelligence > Cameras and Language
