    HomePod Airplay 2 gets worse for me every year

    When I first started buying HomePods I thought they were amazing and loved the whole home audio. Now they’re a lesson in frustration if they work together at all.

    Apple Music Apple Music and Podcasts not syncing between Mac and iPhone

    I love the idea of the apple ecosystem, and I even sacrificed a lot of performance by getting a mac studio for work instead of a windows PC costing half as much (and still having probably been more powerful), but sometimes the lack of functionality is so frustrating... I got onboard the full...
