tvOS 18.4 brings Matter support for vacuums, lossless audio, and more to Apple TV
You don’t upgrade Thread to Matter, as they’re different things:IsThisOn said:If this means having to ‘upgrade’ all my existing Thread devices to Matter, nuh-uh.
I get the appeal of Matter - assuming a multi-platform environment - but the upgrade process whereby I must record each devices new ID or effectively lose the ability to ever bring that device back into my environment should I need to reset it - aka effectively bricking it.
Nope- Thread - mesh networking protocol, like wi-fi or Zigbee
- Matter - brand interoperability standard for IOT devices
…Matter devices can use Thread (or wifi, or others), but you can’t replace Thread with Matter.

Apple Watch loses steam as global smartwatch shipments dropped in 2024
side note, not loving all these giant buttons everywhere on the screen now. Good for web apps, overkill for websites.

iPhone 16e doesn't have MagSafe
Better is relative. It’s certainly faster. But it also wears down your battery faster. So if you don’t need a fast charge, a slower charger is better.randominternetperson said:Ok, I'll trash my own ignorant post above. I missed this:
16: MagSafe wireless charging up to 25W with 30W adapter or higher
16e: Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W
So it's not just the magnet. Fast charging is better than slow charging.

'Silo' renewed for two more seasons as series finale looms
Getting personal because he doesn't like the thing you like? That's immature.Drummerlad said:
Says, “Thrang”…. Your name is quite horrible, and I’m guessing you haven’t really watched the show. I love the show, think it’s well written, and the character development is great. Give it another shot “Thrang”thrang said:This show is really quite horrible... so poorly written and stretched out... -
Apple TV+ abandons Clooney and Pitt's 'Wolfs' sequel
Yeah the people have spoken -- did not like. It was waaay too cute, writer was much too impressed with himself. Was annoying. Ending sucked.
