  • Yes, all true and features I know about. But where do I see a list of ONLY those albums I entirely added to my library? The existent album playlist lists all albums of all artists from whom I added maybe one or two songs to my library. So those albums only include those tracks.

  • Thank you but this is simply selecting an album of an artist that might have struck my mind. What I am seeking is the possibility to scan through a list of my favourite albums and choose one that fits my mood.

    Apple Music - Show complete albums only?

  • I basically have nearly everything within home assistant showing up in HomeKit and never had issues so far. Home assistant is the player in the background running all the automations while exposing the most important devices to HomeKit (esp. for voice commands with Siri) Only downside using HomeKit as the „UI“: Notifications are very limited.

    • Text to speech Intercom as action in Home (not just in shortcuts): „Dear all, the front door has been open for more than 10 minutes“)
    • Share iCloud libraries with write privilege to non Apple users
    • same for shared folders
    • when using an external monitor with an iPad, play sound over iPad (not the connected monitor)
    • bullet points within table cells in notes app.
    • better Siri
  • I am curious, when would you need offline maps? Do you live in an area with bad cell network? Or is your data plan expensive?

    Edit: thanks for all your answers. Next time I travel I will download the map of the destination area. Also I added hot spots such as the local stadium and the city center, hoping, that when I take the subway during rush hours maps will work snappier.

  • Smaller steps. One at a time. Test.

    I started off with HA, integrating all my devices i had at once, totally enthusiastic as I was. There were times where I installed several automations and integrations within just a few minutes, not giving them time to work for them selves, especially not in a „productive“ environment with wife, kids, neighbours, etc. all involved in the system.

    Lots of automations broke or did not work as expected and I saw my self confronted fixing so many building sites at once.

    I am through the roughest part. But should I start from scratch any time I will most surely start I’d small, test, iterate and move on.

  • If you don’t understand what you are paying how do you know you are upgrading.

    I am fully aware of what I am paying for. I pay for more convenience in my life and for that I don't need I don't want to understand everything underneath the surface. I want to take photos, maybe in bad lighting. For that I don't want to read a manual, buy some extra equipment, take some sort of classes, etc. I don't care about the underlying technology (long-time exposure, lense-shift, AI-stuff, etc.)

    but in general you should care about what you are buying. If you go to buy a washing machine you don’t go and point finger and black and say I want this one.

    Of course not. I also check the programs what the product is capable of and how it eases my daily life. Therefore I don't need to know the material the barrel is made of, how many holes it has and if the water flows counterclockwise or not.

    99% of your daily life problems is solved with literally any laptop, PC or phone out there right now.

    Sure, but within the Apple world there is no initial setup or tweaking required. Set the default browser on a Windows PC to Chrome? Windows: "I sometimes don't care". Attach two external monitors to a Windows PC? Lottery game, which one is left and right. Close the laptop in the same setting? Windows will ask you for your fingerprint to log in. I have encountered so so many absurd situations within the Windows world. Yes, maybe some Linux distro might be better, but just ask your neighbor two doors further to install it all on her own and I bet you she will fail.

    What you are looking for is style over substance.

    This mindset is the exact problem 80% of tec-savy people why there are still so many products that fail miserably in usability tests. No, they are NOT looking for "stylish" products (maybe some are, yes, but not the majority) but for products they can actually use without the need of taking care of them like a child ("I need an app to find those apps that drain my RAM on my Android device".) or needing to take evening classes to sync contacts between phone and laptop. Sorry to say, but declassing these customers as blatant sheep, thinking they run for style only is condescending.
