    HomePod Nintendo Switch + HomePods

    I have a stereo pair of HomePod minis and 1 HomePod gen 1 that I would be interested in using with my Nintendo Switch. I know natively the switch does not utilize airplay, but certain TVs now have airplay. The tv I’m looking at buying is the TCL 40SF54 which does have airplay. So if I connect...

    Monitor for a dining area wall

    My elderly parents have an old, Intel 13-inch MacBook Pro, which I'm hoping we can get replaced with an Apple Silicon laptop some time in 2024. They no longer have cable or satellite TV. They frequently turn to YouTube for news, information (how-to) and entertainment. The laptop's speakers...

    Mac mini '18 HDMI picture not detected by TV after hours of user inactivity

    I like to keep my Mac on 24/7 for certain reasons. I have it connected to my TV via HDMI 2.0. Before going to bed I turn the TV off. Usually when I turn my TV on in the morning, it says that the computer isn't detected. So I have to restart it to fix the problem. (Sometimes it even requires...

    iPhone TellyMount

    Hi, Just wondered if anyone had seen an equivalent product to this failed Kickstarter project ‘telly mount‘ back in 2016. The world has changed a bit since then due to COVID-19 and am sure if a product like this was launched now on Kickstarter it would probably meet its funding target very...

    HomePod Use HomePod for Smart TV audio?

    I have a Roku TCL Smart TV and the audio is compact and quiet. I was thinking about purchasing a HomePod or mini for other purposes, but was curious if it will be able to pair via Bluetooth to the tv to play the system audio. I appreciate any answers or tips!

    LG TV with Dolby Vision support, worth it?

    I'm going to ditch my Samsung TV and switch to LG, well, because it's Apple's "partner" on computer displays. I'm wondering though whether Dolby Vision support is worth a couple hundred euros more. The models with HDR10 and HLG support only are more affordable. Does Dolby Vision have a big...

    Which Mac is enough for TV?

    Hey :) What portable Mac would be "enough" to use as/for TV (and some surfing)? Using connect ability features to a big screen or TV via thunderbolt or HDMI... I was thinking of simply using a cheaper Mac to watch my entertainment stuff. I don't do regular TV or Satellite or whatever. I only...

    Punisher - Netflix

    I know this just dropped, so I won't post any spoilers now, but holy smokes! What a freaking series! Loved it from start to finish. I don't know if there will be a season two but I hope so as this one was really good IMHO. Me and the wife started it on Saturday and pretty much blew through...

    Mac Mini HTPC alternatives?

    Hi all, haven't visited MacRumors in a while, and I just saw the thread "So, No Mini" headline and screamed. Okay, it was a very disappointed muffled shriek. I still feel queasy. As it happens, I've recently been looking at the Apple Store website, B&H, etc. at Mac Minis for my parents. I had...

    4k 30Hz or 1080p 60Hz Monitor for Mac Mini late 2014

    So I read on this MR article that the late 2014 Mac Mini I have will only support a 4k monitor at 30Hz or a 1080 at 60Hz. What would be better for the 27" monitor I intend to buy if I can find one at a good price around the holidays? I don't know much about monitors, as you can tell. Also, It...

    What Monitor for Viewing Construction Documents/Plans?

    I am trying to find the right monitor to view 24" x 36" construction documents. When I bid jobs I typically shell out $55 to a print shop, and I feel like I'm throwing money out the window because I don't need a physical copy (typically) unless we win the work. It would be hooked up to either...

    When will Apple release a real Apple Television?

    Dear Apple Oh, I am so ever waiting patiently for this and was just reminded how good it could be today. I'm just watching some live streaming TV news on my iMac and the experience is that much better than watching it on my regular TV. That neat rounded chunky black bezel makes colors pop...
