@tvaziri With you saying only certain movies: are they Atmos? I have consistent audio delay with Atmos from my Apple TV and I haven’t been able to establish if it’s the box or the TV’s passthrough that’s to blame
@chockenberry That might be the quickest cycle of see app -> download app -> use app -> give developer money for app I’ve ever done

@thaddeus I opted for 36GB RAM and a 512GB SSD instead of 24/1TB a couple years ago and think I made the wrong decision. Though with the price of RAM these days I could probably sell this and cover the cost of a new MacBook lol.

I ended up getting a separate tool to back up my photo library via PhotoKit just so I can stop keeping the full thing on-disk. So much stuff is ridiculously disrespectful of disk space

@openrightsgroup there is a non-zero chance that this information results in someone in government proposing that Linux be banned
You can argue either way whether ending support for Intel Macs this year is too early, but leaving them stranded on Tahoe feels especially mean

Starmer is about to make it illegal not to hand over your identity to the companies which profit the most from having your identity, in order to "give kids their childhoods back."

I don’t support corporal punishment but if your net worth exceeds one trillion dollars I do think you should be locked in stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes

> The PSP even had comprehensive support for RSS on a system level

I’d completely forgotten about this! My PSP was the first device I used to get online somewhere other than the shared home desktop or school, but it was also the first thing I ever used for RSS and podcasts

@tuomas_h First time in…well, ever, that I’ve been seriously considering installing a Mac beta
@brentsimmons I’ll occasionally dabble in the iOS or iPadOS betas, but never macOS because I want my Mac as stable as possible. This year all I’m interested in is macOS! I want my sane window corners back!
