lol my friend and I immediately said “we need to sell a homepod coaster to chumps” when we saw that initial story of course someone beat us to it

Is the silicone foot colored or natural (semi translucent)?Where I work we have had countertop-staining issues with TPEs but not really with silicone.

matches the speaker color, I think
Sounds like it’s meant to have firm contact with whatever it’s on for bass transfer, so using a coaster is dampening it a little

just buy a plastic placemat

I just bought a 10.5-inch Space Gray iPad Pro specifically to use as a coaster for my HomePod. It keeps the aesthetic intact, and the proprietary hardened glass of the Retina™ screen profoundly tightens the HomePod's (already unprecedently tight) bass.

Employees in Apple Park, Apple’s grand new spaceship-style headquarters in California, keep walking into glass doors and windows.Despite warnings from a building inspector that people would not be able to tell where the door ends and the wall begins, at least three Apple employees walked or ran into the ultra-transparent glass hard enough to require emergency medical treatment during the first month of occupation

Not sure where else to ask this. Why does my iPod Nano screen look like this?https://i.imgur.com/prDZDlw.jpg
It was fine yesterday. Grabbed it on the way out this morning and noticed it's all pixelated. What the hell?

Probably the display connector is loose/damaged.

You wouldn't know how to fix that, would you?

It looks p cool tbh. Like a kidney with headphones on.
― Google Atheist (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 12 March 2018 23:12 (six years ago) link
XP you'd probably have to open it up and see if some flex connector is loose. Could also be RAM going bad. Neither of those options are easy to deal with with on an iPod...
― DJI, Tuesday, 13 March 2018 00:06 (six years ago) link
I learned as much after some light Googling. And, apparently, they've discontinued the Nano.
Oh well, it still plays music and otherwise functions as it's supposed to.

lol what is this trash, is this supposed to entice people to subscribe to Apple Music?

I hate the exclusive content racket. I briefly tried Tidal and its selection was so much worse than Spotify. I'm not paying for two or three different services, even if it means I never get to hear 4:44 or whatever.

But extra lol @ getting Apple Music for the new Beck album. Beck is so spent.
Kind of shocked that everyone is now fine with having long white boogers hanging out of their ears.
― DJI, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 17:57 (six years ago) link
so if I sign up for Apple Music can I stream all the weird stuff in my library or am I just limited to whatever's on their service

works pretty well for me
― mh, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:52 (six years ago) link
It was rough going for me at first, but it’s working quite well for me now. Sometimes you’ll come up with an oddball version of a song when you were expecting something else, but not too often.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:53 (six years ago) link
No comparison. It's better in most every way, especially if you use iTunes and have an iPhone. You can ask Siri to play any song; really convenient. You can save albums right to your iTunes library and automatically download them on your phone when you're off line.
Only disadvantage is if you like playlists. More people seem to use Spotify for shared playlists.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:44 (six years ago) link
the voice activation/siri sounds appealing since use mine in the car a lot. Is it as deep as Spotify selection wise?
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 21:59 (six years ago) link
Almost exactly the same library; never seen anything on Spotify that wasn't on Apple Music. And it used to be Apple Music got pretty big exclusive releases for a while (Drake, Chance, etc.), though it's been a minute since that happened
― Evan R, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 22:03 (six years ago) link
Spotify has a slight edge in the algorithmic “for you” discover playlists but Apple has the edge in the curated essentials influences etc playlists. Apple has the suggestions too but they don’t seem as deep or varied. But the curated playlists are great. Something as simple as Beatles influences and you end up with a great mix.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 22:14 (six years ago) link
apple has a much higher library limit, 50k i think. Spotify is STILL 10k
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 22:18 (six years ago) link
apple is 100k actually
Spotify still has the 3,333 offline song limit (per device). Another thing that drove me to Apple Music.

If you have an existing iTunes library on your phone, then it's a no-brainer imo - Apple Music has everything integrated in one place, with similar ratings system and smart playlists that don't differentiate between your own music and the one you subscribe to.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 4 April 2018 10:20 (six years ago) link
That’s the bit I hated most: some things could go to iPod, some things couldn’t. Some things would disappear because of rights, some things wouldn’t. Some things deleting was fine, some things it was a Big Mistake.
