As Apple pursues AI, spare a thought for the poor HomePod

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-11 23:32:50

When the video kicking off Apple's "Awe dropping" event began yesterday, I was pleased to see a HomePod in the opening shot. I hadn't given any thought to Apple's beleaguered smart home speaker in ages, so I was all set for Tim Cook and crew to deliver an actual surprise and reveal new stuff for HomePod. When the entire presentation then passed without another peep about the product, I was disappointed, but resigned. HomePod has always been behind the curve. When smart speakers first came on th

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-11 22:11:13

Minerals represent potential biosignatures in the search for life on Mars

Chemical and sedimentological data indicate that reduced iron and sulfur were generated, mobilized and precipitated following the deposition of fine-grained oxidized iron- and phosphorous-bearing sediment. Except when found in authigenic nodules and reaction front rims, phosphate is not associated with a mineral phase (for example, there is no indication that apatite or merrillite are present; Fig. 4c).

At the time of writing, I already know I’m going to make fundamental changes, I will not run with a 2-node cluster permanently, because the latency I have isn’t necessarily a good idea.
