🎵 Some Homepod Details

HomePod can play purchased iTunes music, podcasts and stream Beats 1 without Apple Music subscription

BUT

If you add music to your home iTunes library that was not acquired through a purchase, HomePod will not be able to access it. It appears HomePod doesn’t have Home Sharing, which would enable that kind of feature.

For me - that right there is a non starter.


Farrago is a new app from Rogue Amoeba … the video sold me … and I don’t even need it … well, at least that is what I thought!


I had an idea to add 🎬 to the discover thread maybe also 👩🏽 to help us find more diverse people to follow?

Feature Request

Would a reply all function end up being too hard or result in unintended consequences ? Or do we feel that the conversation link by itself is sufficient.


I just heard @kentwada say that ‘data about who I am’ and ‘who I am’ … are one and the same. (I paraphrase)

It reminded me of Poetical Big Data

If we really are only our data then we are doomed. #dataprivacyday


Apparently drugs are arriving in America through the USPS … who knew?

Apparently, not the #whitehouse .. but then unclear what they do know.

The Scourge of Clickbait … nice piece from @gruber on @Apple scrapping the #iPhoneX … another piece of blame to lay at the feet of mainstream media.


Instant ‘Unicorn’ status … for a doorbell maker.

Apparently, it isn’t just a doorbell, it’s a #Platform


Is That How You Do It?

…. because, when you put it like that, it seems so easy … How to Write a Blog Post

I particularly liked the idea of ‘bumping’

Wait for time to pass and see if the bumping sound returns.

The Homepod

🎵 What’s in YOUR HomePod makes for a quick interesting summary of some of the tech that makes it what it is. Seemed right to share it here after yesterday’s to and fro, back and forth, this and that, well … you get the point.

I think I have just realized something …. if you open a MICRO.BLOG post with ‘@name’ as the first ‘word’ … then it automatically appears in the conversation thread … not as part of your main post … makes sense now I think about it.


And now … ?

Not surprised … other than .. wait Westminster Council ?
