With iOS 13.2 released this week and the iOS 13.2.1 update for HomePod following soon after, Apple has added multi-user voice recognition support for their smart speaker.

Now that HomePod can be linked with your account and given approval to understand who’s speaking, Apple has now enabled access to Personal Requests for every member of a home – and with it, support for each person running their own Siri Shortcuts.

Personal Requests expand to every user

Previously, the ”Personal Requests” feature for HomePod enabled only one user to ask Siri about private information like their own reminders, calendar events, or messages – or, to trigger custom Siri Shortcuts they’ve set up in the Shortcuts app.

With this update, Personal Requests is expanded to each user who is added to a Home in the Home app and accepts voice recognition from the HomePod. That means each person can ask for their own reminders, calendar events, messages, or shortcuts, and Siri will respond with ”Ok…

Even people in powerful security positions forget their password every once in a while.

NBC News is reporting that shortly after Rudy Giuliani was named Donald Trump’s cybersecurity advisor in 2017, he took his iPhone to an Apple Store because he had forgotten his passcode, and after 10 failed attempts, was ultimately locked out of his iPhone.

Whoops.

We’ve all been there. You let your S.O. unlock your phone but now you’re getting sext messages sliding up in your DMs from your co-worker so you have to change that passcode, post haste. But then, the very next day, you forget what that new one is, so you just start typing in every passcode you’ve ever come up with for as long as you can remember and then … crap. Locked out.

NBC News provides a photo of the technician ticket, which shows Giuliani’s name (which really doesn’t prove that it was actually Giuliani) and a description of the problem and solution.

From November 4 to November 26, players will be able to challenge the leader of the Swords of Justice
The announcement says two of the other Swords of Justice will be coming soon.

Apple Arcade and GameClub may look similar on the surface, but one focuses on new games and the other on classics. You could settle for one, but honestly, why not both?

It seems that gaming subscription services are all the rage these days. We have Apple with their own Apple Arcade that launched back in September 2019 and now GameClub, which launched earlier this month. Both of these cost $4.99 a month, though Apple Arcade includes Family Sharing since it’s Apple’s own service, whereas GameClub is a third-party service.

On the surface, both of these seem like the same thing, but there’s one big difference: Apple Arcade is made for new releases, while GameClub is resurrecting classic, legacy games that helped shape the App Store.

So which one of these gaming subscription services is worth getting? Or do they complement each other? Let’s take a closer look.
