No complaints here. Latest version of Plex supports hardware transcoding on the CPU as well and intel just fixed a bug in the intel drivers for transcoding so the quality is now decent and doesn't push the processor at all.

Never really have to touch anything, all just works tbh. NAS is a synology DS916+ (8GB ram) which I run docker on, Plex, plexpy and a whole load of other stuff run in containers on it.

Virgin "Super(Crap) Hub 3" running in modem mode. Unifi USG (previous used a mikrotik router) acting as the network gateway, separate switch, separate access points.

3 There's Sonos, Nest Thermostats, TV's, Laptops, iPads, Kindles, Smoke Alarms, Access Points, Office Phone, Consoles, NAS etc. Soon adds up. Most of the bandwidth is consumed by Plex or the NAS downloading.

My AP's are PoE. 400Mbit broadband coming in, NAS directly connected to switch to take advantage of full download speed. Lot's of Plex clients all over the house, 40+ devices (both wired and wifi) making use of the network. I love the stats you get out of the unifi kit, facebook consumes a...

Amazon have a 3 for 2 offer on various hue bits and pieces.

We use our echo dot a lot, controlling the lights and setting timers while cooking. It's proved more useful than I thought it would.

Bloom is on discount at amazon.

AFAIK, apple take payment at the time on a debit card. Credit card is charged at point of shipping with a pre-auth on it.

Sure. If they never want to install anything on their phone.

I think it's definitely mostly it, I also think the fact that they've removed the 128GB tier (which to me and a lot of people is just about spot on) is also a factor so you're either paupering out and paying a lot for a 64GB device or you're paying an extortionate amount for a 256GB device...

First time I can remember in a long time that a phone has gone on sale and hours later you can still buy one for in-store pickup on release day, both storage sizes as well. Either Apple have reached the tipping point at which people are willing to upgrade for the sake of it (and it being pretty...

On the Mac, under the menu option Account is Authorisations with the sub option "Authorise this computer"?

To answer your other question, sounds like she's logged into her phone using the same Apple ID if the phones are mirroring each other. If so, she'll need to use her own and then you can invite her (search on the web) into your family. There are loads of instructions on how to do this and how...

You can't because you have to create and add them to a family, once you do that the family administrator sets which account is used for purchases throughout the family. Presumably they did this to specifically stop you doing what you're wanting to do.

If you have a family music account then app purchases going forward are made on the family account. I assume you don't want your friends spending your money?

(before I get called an Android fanboi, I own an iPhone 7 plus, 4 macs, several apple TV's and a watch)....

Your own or somebody else’s?

That’s definitely not right. My 7 plus very rarely requires me to give it a second tap.

The phones were trained to a specific Apple employee not random demo people. The Apple employees had to unlock the phones, the people playing with the units were not able to do it themselves.

Sounds like DRM, were they iTunes purchases and did you just copy the movies across from one computer to another?

Apples demo didn’t work and had to resort to a backup unit. People who had time with the units in the hands on area said it’s very finicky and doesn’t appear to be that great. The mechanism is more longwinded than touchid. That’s what we know.

There's generally no need to. The phone doesn't differ that differently underneath the hood than the billion or so other iPhones that they've already sold and people use day in day out without problem. There's always the risk that a new feature might not work exactly as planned, but that's how...

Yep. It was quite funny, he went into an instant sweat. He must have been major panicking that it was going to work on the "backup" phone.

I'd totally still get one for the Unicorn Animoji though.

f**king PILE OF s**t UNLOCK YOU f**king c**t. Is something that I suspect a lot of X owners are going to be saying or paraphrasing.

I wouldn't count on anybody other that ee supporting it for quite a while, clearly it needs some network trickery to work and three don't have support for visual voicemail and how long has that been available? Is it still only o2 and ee that have support for it?

Apparently it doesn't work very well at all. Lots of reviews saying that it needed to be held at a specific distance and angle etc and even then it was very hit and miss as to whether it unlocked, they kept having to turn the displays on and off on the demo units to eventually get them to...
