My Memorial Day surprise home project was filling a giant pothole in our driveway. The water had completely undermined it under this crack and it collapsed when we eventually drove over it. Had never realized how thick asphalt is, it’s a good 5-6”.

Guess I had the “bad” HDMI cable hooked up to the Apple TV for the last few months so it hasn’t been HDR and I feel like I should have noticed.

@mathowie I usually buy them at Costco but our membership lapsed and the Amazon store brand is pretty close in price. You are right that even the bulk bottle at CVS is ridiculously $$$.

If you use AirPods 4 on macOS Sonoma, they show up as a generic headphones icon in the menu bar. AirPods 3 look like AirPods. I guess that stuff doesn’t get backported.

Experienced the chaos of an older Samsung Galaxy which was full of junk apps and it really made me appreciate iOS. I don’t know how they got it in that state but it was just constant pop-ups like an old Windows 95 machine. Had to nuke it back to nothing.

@caseyliss FYI the Overcast links on the toaster oven blog post don’t work for me anymore. They launch Overcast but don’t do anything. https://www.caseyliss.com/2015/9/10/siracusa-on-toasters
Siracusa on Toasters

All of the Siracusa toaster reviews, in one place.

@overcastfm here’s a fun one:
1. Click on a link in show notes
2.Start swiping right from the left screen edge and the web view window closes almost immediately (this was an accident by me)
3. Click the same link again and now it doesn’t open. Other links are fine.

@joesteel ah yes, 100% agree

@joesteel “One of the drawbacks of existing CarPlay is that your navigation app can only display in the center console, and can’t provide directions in the instrument cluster in front of the driver, like built-in systems can.”

There must be some two-way comms being done by current CarPlay because our 2023 Ford Escape will show the next turn direction in the main instrument cluster.

@gruber I saw “Earthquakes and Shutdowns” as the Dithering title today and thought “wow that was fast”
