    Hi, I’ve been using for some time and app called “AirBeamTV (Mirror for Samsung TV)” to wirelessly mirror my rMBP 2015 to my Samsung Smart TV via wifi. I noted that the battery drains pretty quickly. I use it to mirror the rMBP while streaming videos. The battery can easily drop around 20% in...

    So let’s talk about Airplay 2...

    So Airplay 2 is AWOL for now, meaning I’m unable to multi-stream music from my swanky new iPhone X to my swanky new soundbar-equipped Apple TVs all at once. HOWEVER... I can, for some bizarre reason, play music on multiple devices from iTunes on my Mac. How exactly does that work? I thought...

    So, this has been really annoying me since upgrading to iOS 11. Prior to the new software release (iOS 10), control center had the airplay icon, which allowed the user to connect/disconnect from airplay streaming. Now with iOS 11, let’s say I’m in a 3rd party app like YouTube and I use the apps...
