Transcripts in Overcast!

This was so much work. I can't believe I've finally gotten it into beta.

@ismh86 Not to be "that guy" but how do we go about claiming our rewards for our St. Jude donations? I have the emails from Tiltify and St. Jude confirming my donation but I don't see anywhere to claim the Sticker Pack & Digital Bundle.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know how Apple is calculating their new sleep scores but it does not seem accurate to me. I think I'm going to stick with @_Davidsmith and his excellent Sleep++ app.

For comparison, here are my scores from last night. And I'm absolutely exhausted today. I honestly like Apple's simple presentation of the data but a score of 92 vs 21 is just not even remotely accurate with how I feel today.

Sigh... I see everyone excited and in love with the new "Cosmic Orange" iPhone 17 Pro color and I just don't like orange. At all. As a Kentucky fan, it reminds me of Tennessee. YUCK!

And why is there not a black or dark gray color this year?

@marcoarment I'm very sorry to hear about Hops. Dogs are family and it hurts just as bad. I've been there.

🌈🐶 RIP Hops

@macsparky Catching up on MPU podcasts (#805) and you included a picture of your desk setup. I noticed a Stream Deck +. Do you mind me asking what you use the dials/knobs for? I had one a year or two ago and returned it because I couldn't control the volume of individual apps.

For example, I would love to be able to assign Safari to Dial #1. Click to mute. Turn to adjust volume. Then maybe assign Team to Dial #2, etc. That would be my dream but I could never figure it out.

Thanks!

@siracusa How would you recommend setting up a new external SSD for both Time Machine backups and general file storage? Should I use partitions, volumes, etc.? Thanks!
@marcoarment I'm catching up on some older podcast episodes, including Under the Radar, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your work on @overcastfm. I listen to a lot of podcasts and your app makes that better. It is my must-have app on (the) iPhone. So thank you.
@rafa At home I use my laptop closed with two external displays. However at work I use it open with one external display and I would like to distinguish between the two.
