Got AirPods for Christmas. Holy poo poo. Holy poo poo. It’s been a while since I’ve had something that feels so futuristic. It’s classic Apple.

They really are that good. Whomever originally posted AirPods are the best Apple product in a decade was spot on.

Apple’s UI for selecting colours for individual lights in a scene is loving retarded but if I try to set it up through Hue it immediately warns me another application changed the scene! Best as I can tell hue makes the assumption that HomeKit is more or less completely independent from the hue app. They seem to be mutually exclusive because of that.

I really hope the next iteration of the Pixel Buds are actually good. Android users deserve something as good as AirPods that are as integrated with the Google ecosystem.

Pivo posted:iPhone X and AirPods are kinda magical Yeah. Honestly if I wasn't so paranoid about them I would have went google Home over Alexa for smart Home stuff because it's so much more natural. I really hope Apple does a mini HomePod and makes Siri not poo poo at some point in the next year. It really needs work.

That “rumor” is ever-persistent and never-corroborated. They might at some point allow you to set alternate default apps. Siri will never, ever be one of them.

Even Samsung doesn’t let you rebind their stupid assistant button Amazon and Google got into a big slap fight because Amazon didn’t want to sell Google’s assistant products alongside their own Alexa stuff I wouldn’t hold your breath for a natural Google Assistant integration on iOS.

The coolest poo poo Google is doing is in Photos and Maps anyways, both of which integrate almost perfectly (little less for Maps) with iOS anyways so don't worry about. Assistant is worlds better than Siri, but I still haven't found any compelling reason to use digital assistants besides setting alarms and crap, which works fine on any of them anyways.

Apple’s UI for selecting colours for individual lights in a scene is loving retarded but if I try to set it up through Hue it immediately warns me another application changed the scene! Maybe not a huge help but I did a bunch of googling and digging on Reddit and ended up with “iConnectHue.” Worth checking out for sure.

BGrifter posted:One of us! One of us! Agreeing with that for sure. I love my 8 Plus but eh, it’s an iPhone. Awesome piece of hardware and software but it’s nothing I couldn’t have 5-6 years ago in some similar capacity. The AirPods just feel slick as hell all around. Sound quality is excellent and the way they work with the phone is something special. Just works etc etc etc How do you guys have your taps set up?

I lived in a house surrounded by gigantic pine trees (and in a pretty isolated region) and sending SMSs or calls was a horrible experience. iMessage avoids all that. buglord fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Dec 26, 2017 |

I don't suppose you can get the original Hue app (the one with the grey icon)? I still use that and never have had this issue.

buglord posted:were you not hugged as a child If you have decent WiFi I guess that might be true, but if you only have a patchy data connection iMessage is extremely hit or miss for me. Sure it's supposed to failover to SMS but I've found it's better at the 'fail' part than the 'over' Matt Lauer posted:Are you a serial killer? Someone sick of missed or duplicated messages. I guess it'd be different if anyone I knew used iMessage for sending pictures or making group chats but with Facebook Messenger as ubiquitous as it is that isn't going to happen. dissss fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Dec 26, 2017 |

Also it’s plenty reliable no clue what kind of poo poo happened to you.

There is also a reasonable expectation that your iMessages can’t be easily intercepted. (There are better protocols and iMessage isn’t perfect, but it’s better than SMS.)

Because it’s more reliable. The real question is why would you want to use iMessage over any of the other IP based options which are properly cross-platform.

iMessage is a good alternative to something like Facebook Messenger because there's zero effort involved in using it and also the Messenger UI is loving garbage.
