It would be a dream (/editing nightmare) to include lots of clips from the referenced episodes to hear things like the first time Neutral crossed into ATP territory, or the theme song’s creation, or the bell’s introduction, etc.

I’m sure a lot of this exists over the course of the show, but as someone who’s been listening regularly for many years but wasn’t there at the beginning, I’d love to have the origins explained in one neat episode.

🙏🙏🙏

ATP Member Special idea/request:

ATP Origins
A member special all about how the show came together. How the three of you met and became friends. How/why Neutral began. How/why Neutral became ATP. How you guys found an audience (who was listening at the beginning and how did they know to find the podcast). How the show grew/evolved over time, biggest milestones and moments.

@shantini Here's a reddit thread that shows the bug happening on iOS: https://old.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/11pyf10/having_issues_with_the_cursor_jumping_around/

And on macOS: https://old.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/11gw9cw/jumping_cursor_while_typing_in_notes_app_even/

There's a handful of Apple Community Support threads, and the commonly provided answer is to disable the "Show inline predictive text" in keyboard settings. I and others have done this, and it does seem to lower the occurrence rate, but it still happens.

Again, I use Notes extensively everyday and I ONLY see this bug in tables.

@shantini Apple Notes question:

I'm a Notes power user and use tables like crazy to keep client knowledge base info handy. There's a bug in tables where the cursor jumps back a single character when typing. Because I use Notes tables constantly, I've noticed the bug occurs across platforms (iOS, macOS, iPadOS) and has been persistent for at least the last 2-3+ years. There's a handful of threads on this if you do a web search. Is this known to the Notes team and is a solution underway?

Siri Is Super Dumb and Getting Dumber

Siri with Apple Intelligence gives confident but embarrasingly wrong answers to sports trivia questions, both famous (Super Bowls) and obscure (North Dakota high school hoops).

Sorry if you get this question a lot, @siracusa, but... after quitting your jobby-job, did reviving your macOS reviews ever cross your mind? Or have you thought about publishing more writing in general (to your blog or elsewhere)? While I always appreciate your podcast contributions, there's a singular quality to your writing that scratches an itch nothing else quite reaches.

My bank uses phone SMS as its standard "2-factor authentication" -- better than nothing at all but GROSSLY insecure compared to encrypted messaging that it refuses to supply.

I paid extra for an RSA dongle, but when I log in there's an option to use SMS, which makes the dongle completely pointless.

Crap security is standard in the banking industry -- because contrary to pious words, it doesn't give a damn about your financial privacy.
