My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

Time Machine via AirPort Disk Is Unsupported

If you attempt to use an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station for Time Machine backup, you won’t get any help from Apple’s technical support, something that readers have already told me. I’ve been getting reports that USB-attached drives work erratically with an AirPort Extreme.

One the one hand, asking people to buy a Time Capsule when they already have an AirPort Express is ugly; on the other, if those setups do work erratically, then maybe there actually are technical reasons. Of sorts. Not to mean “it can’t be done,” but rather something like “our engineers would have to spend some time making it work reliably, and we can’t be bothered.”
