Star Wars, Star Trek, whatâs the difference?
Just kidding.
Happy to see the move away from Facebook! Now Iâm just sitting here hitting CMD + R on the cottonbureau.com website.

Just want to jump in and say how shocked I am that not only did Katie get a HomePod, but she TRIPLED-DOWN and is part of the multi-HP crowd 
I havenât really wanted one with all the negative press theyâve gotten, but I know Katie doesnât take her purchasing decisions lightly so this has me rethinking my decision to sit out, ha ha!

The goodies are available! I linked them in this announcement post to make it easy for everyone to find them 
So the new Free Agents co-host is Casey Liss right? Thatâs going to be awesome.

Has he been on MPU? If so, thatâs a good guess. I was thinking Andy Ihnatko
Hey @katiefloyd . Iâm so happy for you and the triple home pod life! Youâre competing with @MacSparky multi iPad life! It was my favorite part of the show! Hahaha. You made my week!

Curious about Appleâs end-to-end encryption of messages referenced in cloud storage. Are they safe from the NSA? See recent Intercept article â https://theintercept.com/2018/06/25/att-internet-nsa-spy-hubs/
Re what weâre calling parcels of stuff made in Shortcuts: I think definitely âworkflows.â I think Shortcuts is a worse name for the App than was Workflows (less attractive, less accurate), but if does at least have the advantage of creating a vocabulary in which the App and the things in the App are distinct. So one vote for creating âWorkflowsâ in âShortcutsâ rather than creating âShortcutsâ in âShortcuts.â
Curse you David, 10 more dollars to my MPU budget on Home Design 3D
Super great suggestion though, Iâve needed something a bit more user friendly and feature rich than MagicPlan which is getting dated

New community member here. Thanks so much for moving to Discourse! Previously Iâd felt a little left out. One huge Discourse feature, for me, is its excellent activity summary emails it sends every couple weeks.
I canât wait to start leaving my inane feedback on episodes. For this one, Iâll just say that three Homepods is a great idea. I am waiting for the rumored small Beats branded version to buy my third for my bedroom, though.

I couldnât believe @katiefloyd got three either! Out of nowhere! However, I actually really do love my HomePod. I was definitely someone who didnât want to go with any of their other assistants because I love music and didnât want to buy a bad speaker. I actually use the Siri features a decent amount (although, I do want them to catch up with the other assistants), and I looooove how good it sounds. Plus, being able to ask Siri to play anything I want is amazing. I very often ask it to âplay me something I would likeâ and then I have an instant, great playlist. Itâs a little expensive, but I have been super happy with it. However, I only have one!

I came over from Facebook, have to say that this place works much better as a more âtraditionalâ forum than as a Facebook group! The various categories and threads makes information much easier to find and therefore Iâm able to participate more!

The best line of this episode included the name âBarry Manilowâ!

I like the post by https://talk.macpowerusers.com/u/jwoolard using the word Rouge. I think all the hosts should have an alias as Rouge depending on the the time they actually left the man. The first should be Rouge OneâŚand so onâ:sunglasses:
