Siri will continue to be incompetent ... until it very suddenly isn't - 9to5Mac

I know, we’ve been waiting forever for the new Siri and it still isn’t here yet. Many are adopting the...

@davemark it can happen with something as simple and straightforward as a watchOS update after an iOS update. Or reconnecting AirPods that may not have been in range of the other items at the time.

Sure, it is disconcerting, but as someone else has mentioned in this thread, I think the objects are simply becoming reacquainted after a bout of amnesia.

My ID still claims a 2017 device I haven’t seen since 2022

@davemark Thank heaven it isn’t just me. It started yesterday. I checked the device list and removed two items I haven’t used in a while but didn’t see anything weird.

I changed my password for iCloud. The notices still come.

Also, my Series 3 watch started asking for a password BEFORE i changed it. Something weird is going on. So glad to see this post!

@davemark this happens when a previously registered device reconnects to internet after long while. (A month or so). At least for me.

Just got a series of "Device Added to Your Account" alerts on my iPhone and Mac.

No new devices, no major updates.

Checked device lists, all recognized.

Perhaps this has to do with the "Background Security Improvements" update Apple just dropped?

Anyone else seeing this?

The Dalrymple Report: MacBook Neo

Once your Mac battery hits its "maximum cycle count", Apple recommends you replace the battery.

You don't have to, but after that many full recharges (follow link below to find cycle count for your Mac) battery charging performance falls off its cliff.

Worth knowing your current and max cycle count.
