Ubiquiti security cameras, driving a box truck, and some surprise “gifts”.
ShutterAperture@atpfm typo in the show notes about the survey
John Siracusa@ShutterAperture Fixed, thanks.

John R. Perfect@atpfm @marcoarment the rental truck may have had the backup camera screen in the rear view mirror.
@johnrperfect @atpfm @marcoarment the mirror is there due to ‘trucks’ being manufactured as cab chassis ie, no box.
Flat bed trucks (for example) have existed for a long while.
Also, only vehicles over a certain weight are designated to truck routes. Assuming Marco drove this vehicle via a standard/mr car licence, it would’ve been exempt from the alternate routes.

Joe Cabrera@atpfm So much indignation! My read on the whole Apple Park trash thing was that they were leaving their garbage out to force management to correct their dumb mistake and get a solution in there.
Max@atpfm @siracusa @marcoarment my HomePods that I’ve had since day 1 are still going solid. Does take a couple of seconds to connect, but otherwise I have no complaints. Marco and co are obviously just holding them wrong.
@atpfm I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Bitwarden password manager as it compared to Keychain, 1Password, etc.
Bitwarden is an open sourced credential manager with chromium browser extensions, and apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
I've been using in place of Keychain so my credentials are available across all my devices regardless of OS and I've been loving it.
Love the podcast!
@atpfm Given that @marcoarment lives in a coastal environment I'd think the plastic body of the G5 would handle the salt air better. I'm buying the G5 over the G4 for that very reason.

Mutesplash@atpfm @marcoarment @caseyliss You have no idea how disappointed I was that "Unauthorized Trash Can" did not ALSO apply to the mysterious shipment after discovering it came from earlier in the show...
Henri Sivonen@atpfm There is a significant gotcha with recommending a Gmail address for a child: Children are not allowed to set up email forwarding, so there is a rather serious risk of lock-in.
Dr. Calhoun PhD@atpfm I would really suggest looking at some of the larger podcasts on patreon and seeing what they do for tips on making the show worth subscribing to without sacrificing quality for free listeners.
Trieulikely not but: i have a set of old but *very* lightly used sonos "play" speakers (bought in 2012) that you could have in exchange for one of your homepods
@trieut I’ll pass, thanks.
alexwlchan@atpfm The cut from the elevator music to Casey’s “Okay I’m back” is incredibly crisp 💯
Michael Brown@atpfm @marcoarment with your exterior wired ethernet camera(s), isn't there a risk that a bad actor could get access to your home network?
@atpfm re: safe storage of important secrets like 1Password recovery keys etc, I use: https://mprimi.github.io/portable-secret/ for this. Much easier to access than paper and just as secure. You do need somewhere to host the static files though.
Chris Poole@atpfm Anecdata: I’m team @siracusa with the Core2 Duo. I’d wanted my first Mac for a couple years, waited for the Intel machines to come out, and purposefully skipped the first Intel MBP, getting the second one with a Core2 chip.
I remember it being a rumour almost immediately as the first machine came out, and to my mind a better (64bit) instruction set seemed more future proof.
Aside: it also had 802.11g only, with a $1.99 (?) update to get 802.11n eventually… (Sarbanes-Oxley?)
