@marcoarment Noticed that the NYT Daily podcast seems to have dropped all episodes off of Overcast. Have you noticed any change or is it just my feed. I know they talked about putting it all behind the paywall but seemed to have been leaving the most recent episodes public.

John VoorheesI'd mostly forgotten about the Swift Assist demo I got at WWDC last June. It was one of my first briefings, and the Swift Assist part was short. I wrote about it here: https://www.macstories.net/news/a-look-at-code-completion-and-swift-assist-coming-in-xcode-16/

The Woman in the Wall S1:
Ruth Wilson gives a stunning performance as a survivor of the Magdalene Laundries in a small Irish town. Heartbreaking and excellent.

The Boys S4
Not for the weak stomached. This season’s insight into the American political psyche was too prescient.

Watch Fallout - Season 1 | Prime Video
Based on one of the greatest video games of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them above.
Honorable mentions:
The Franchise S1: Great cast, funny take on Hollywood blockbuster culture.
Dune:Prophecy S1: Some great age casting. Don’t know if I’ll watch a second season.
