CCATP #674 \u2014 Bart Busschots on Cooking Like a Programmer<\/a><\/h4>\n

Let\u2019s Talk Apple \u2014 Ep. 90 (February 2021) \u2013 Let’s Talk Podcasts<\/a><\/h4>\n

This week I had the great fun of being on Let’s Talk Apple hosted by none other than Bart Busschots, with fellow guest Chuck Joiner from MacVoices. The intro material was the best illustration of why Bart’s format of a monthly news podcast has value. He described the bouncing ball of rumors surrounding Apple’s supposed Apple car, which on a daily or weekly show would make your head spin, but with monthly you could understand the pattern. The entire show was great fun and I hope you’ll give it a listen, there’s a link in the shownotes of course, but better yet, look for Let’s Talk Apple in your podcatcher of choice and subscribe.<\/p>\n

Everything is Fiddly<\/h4>\n

This is the weekly segment where you get to tell a story of something fiddly that is driving you nuts. The only rule is it’s electronic in nature so your coffee machine to your menu bar apps are fair game!<\/p>\n

Sandy:<\/p>\n

\n Hi Allison. This is Sandy Foster, and you asked us what fiddly things are bugging the rest of us. The one thing that bugs me the worst has to do with an automation that I set up. Here\u2019s the scenario: I have an iron in my sewing\/quilting room \u2014 it\u2019s a necessity, and I keep it set up all the time. I also have a Wemo smart outlet, and the iron is plugged into that. My idea was to be able to tell Siri to turn on my iron, and that would trigger the Wemo to turn on. Then it would turn off automatically when I left the geofenced area. It worked \u2014 mostly \u2014 just fine for a time. The only glitch was that telling my HomePod to turn on the iron resulted in hard rock music playing instead. Okay, maybe I can live with that, since my iPhone and Apple Watch behaved just as I\u2019d hoped, and I could skip giving the command to the HomePod.<\/p>\n

Lately, however, I say, \u201cHey Siri, turn on iron\u201d and all three devices do something really weird. No matter which one I use \u2014 HomePod, Apple Watch, or iPhone \u2014 Siri says, \u201cI tried but the media in your Turn on iron scene is not available.\u201d The really strange part of this, though, is that the Wemo does turn on!
\n Everything is fiddly.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ok, that’s annoying but it’s also HYSTERICAL!<\/p>\n

Bruce (NobleSongster):<\/p>\n

\n Hi Allison I’d like to present my addition to what’s fiddly. In iOS when you share an ETA with someone because you’re on your way, it’s supposed to text them whether it’s on Android or iOS. It is fiddly to say the least, unreliable definitely, and frustrating most of the time. Thanks!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I feel your pain, Bruce. That’s the worst! See how cathartic this is? Send in your<\/em> Everything is Fiddly stories to allison@podfeet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
