HomePod has been jailbroken with checkra1n

I hope this leads to some way besides Airplay to play arbitrary audio with no delay. If Apple had just included support for Bluetooth audio (or God forbid, an aux jack) I would've bought two full-sized Homepods to use as computer speakers two months ago.

Can the link be switched to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;_L1ngL1ng_&#x2F;status&#x2F;1329552467240116236" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;_L1ngL1ng_&#x2F;status&#x2F;1329552467240116236</a>, the actual source of the news?

Hopefully this leads to completely reverse engineering AirPlay 2.

Looks like they might be able to make the HomePod useful before it&#x27;s available in Europe.

How do you jailbreak a homepod with no ports and no input devices?

Any recommendations for an aesthetic single speaker with high quality audio that takes Airplay, Chromecast, and bluetooth? You know, without having to jailbreak a HomePod? Stunned it has to be this difficult.

Does this create any notable HomeKit or home automation interoperability possibilities?<p>For example, the Lutron Caseta line requires their proprietary bridge——could the HomePod be augmented to remove this dependency?

I&#x27;ve always been so interested in Darwin&#x2F;iOS&#x2F;macOS internals yet I can&#x27;t find any good resources.<p>I find it so interesting how they use that OS across all their devices.

That it is necessary to jailbreak consumer devices is grotesque. I can totally understand that a car has a software &#x2F; OS that is locked down. But a consumer device? - Apple is slowly moving the whole industry in a direction where in a couple of decades we can use electronic devices only in a way that the producer wants it to be used. Locking up systems, not allowing departure in any way, taking each and every freedom to tinker with devices we own: despicable.<p>Edit: I absolutely hate Apple‘s vision for computing devices. Don‘t tell me it‘s good for my grandma because she can‘t mess up with her computer. You can build machines that are both easy to use and give us the freedom to do whatever we want to do with them. Extend them, change them, hack them, open them up, change parts, install other OSes, and whatnot.

The meat:<p>“ As it turns out, there’s no escaping the clutches of the ubiquitous checkm8 exploit (and by extension the checkra1n jailbreak)”

Promise good audio. Never was. Or were as I have a pair. Lag meant no use of movie sound with Apple TV. I considered these a loser. Can this job save it. Not sure as the smart part is the selling point.

I still love jailbreaking. I got an iPhone when they first came out in Canada. They guy who sold it convinced me to change my plan to include video messages. When I got home I realized the phone didn’t have the ability to take videos. Those who are unaware there just was no video app when the phone first came out as crazy as that sounds. I started searching how to take a video and to my surprise you can not unless you happen to jailbreak it and use the camera app on cydia. From that point on I saw the benefit of jailbreaking. I am considering jailbreaking again after my device suddenly became blocked from tinder I am a gentleman and not sure why I was banned but it annoyed me and one day will probably jailbreak again just to bypass the ban. I think if the iphones ever fully locked down I would try a different brand.
