#askatp @atpfm Is @siracusa grabbing the next Mac Studio or keep the Pro until it's not supported? Pt II: What about gaming? Wait for Steam Machine? Buy/build a Windows (or Linux? 👀) PC?

@atpfm #askatp Curious to know what Casey (and others) are storing on their massive SSDs and Synologies. My entire digital world is about 200 gigs, and that includes my 100 gig photo/video album. Are you storing old Linux ISOs, 10 years of Time Machine backups, entire catalogues of TV shows and movies as mp4 files, etcetera? Buying and keeping terabytes of NAS capacity and terabytes of B2 or other cloud capacity is expensive. What are these huge files you're keeping and do you ever use them?
@atpfm #askatp Listening to the latest episode and the line "settle all family business" stuck with me. What are you thoughts on how Apple would handle a wave of settlement and changes on the (hopefully soon) CEO transition. I recall that Tim Cook decided to mostly put the large swathe of android litigation behind them when he took over, leaving behind Jobs vow to "destroy" android. Do you think that new boss man Ternus will look at doing the same with the large volume of compliance and developer relations issues they currently have? Leaving behind the scorn and entitlement that Tim, and I assume many current heads at Apple do. Or do you think he may feel the same way and continue down the same path.
The latest @atpfm episode about the new transcription feature in Overcast made me wonder: I suspect I know @caseyliss’s answer, but can @siracusa or @marcoarment read the title of any ATP episode and recall what that episode was generally about? #askatp
@atpfm You often discuss metric vs. imperial. But what are your thoughts on paper sizes? Our ISO A4, cleverly based on √2, versus your silly US Letter. Hannah Fry has a great short about it: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KW_bvB33kBc #askatp

@atpfm @marcoarment recently mentioned that he does public releases of small utility apps that he makes. I’ve been thinking of doing the same. Do you charge for those apps? #askatp
@atpfm #askatp Have you seen the “limit precise location” feature Apple rolled out recently? Looks like it’s only for devices with the C1/C1X modem, so it’s not on most new iPhones. Interesting what Apple can do when it controls the hardware, but it also needs carrier cooperation, with only Boost Mobile in the US right now. Do you have any speculation on how this feature could work, since I always assumed if my phone is connected to the carrier, they must know where I am. https://support.apple.com/en-us/126101
Limit precise location from cellular networks - Apple Support

With the limit precise location setting, you can limit some information that cellular networks may use to determine your location. Available on compatible iPhone and iPad models with supported carriers.

“The Thing I Dislike Most About iOS 26 Is That Every Icon and Themes Now Look Washed Out and Low Resolution. Gone Are the Sharp and Vibrant Icons.”

Completely agree. I really hope Apple brings the colours back in #ios27 It looks really dull and boring right now.
What is your take ?

#AskATP @atpfm @siracusa How has Hyperspace been going? It would be great to get an update on the show. Do you all use it, and if so, how often? I use it maybe once a month to clean up my Mac and external drives.
@marcoarment @caseyliss
@atpfm This might be an after show bit, but: John, any thoughts/feelings about Marathon? Will it take some time away from Arc Raiders for you? Thoughts on why Marathon is more "shoot on sight" than Arc Raiders seems to be? #AskATP
