Apple HomePod

With respect to the Apple HomePod being the first device to support Thread. The Apple TV 4th Generation (was Apple TV HD) (A1625) is also able to act as a Thread Border Router. The Apple TV was released in 2015 but not yet found the release of TVOS that introduces Thread support - probably TVOS 14 in June 2020 (https://digitized.house/apple-brings-homekit-to-apple-tv-with-tvos-14/) although there is nothing explicit in the TVOS release notes (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/tvos-release-notes/tvos-14-release-notes).

Reads like press release

The "Selling points and key features" section reads like a fawning press release. Inopinatus (talk) 21:47, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand

The 'work needed' box at the top of the page complains about bare URLs leading to link rot. The two >recent< comments, one of which is less than two weeks old, contain dead links. I came to this page from a related page with a dead external link - it was not a bare url, and yet it rotted anyway. I do not understand why links are supposed to be more resilient than bare urls. Easier to read, sure. InsertNameHere (talk) 15:06, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@InsertNameHere: When a bare URL rots, you've got nothing to go on except for the URL that no longer works. In contrast, when you have a proper citation, you've got a fighting chance to find the literature now lost behind the dead URL, or something that could replace it, that corresponds with what the author originally intended. For example, even if the literature was archived, you still need to know WHEN the author looked at it; assuming it’s around about the time they added it doesn’t always hold. Providing as much information as possible about the literature you’re offering in support of what you’re writing is age-old good practice for a reason 😃.

Sounds like an advertising

"Thread is reliable, secure and delivers fast response times, extended coverage and years of battery life to elevate smart home and building experiences." This seems like a downright ad to me. Marty5550 (talk) 08:40, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
