  • I finally watched Andor. I watched the first episode a few months back and wasn’t into it at the time. This week I rewatched it and finished the season in 3 days. It’s so good.

    My wife had the idea to watch Evil together. It’s weird and often awkward and cheesy, but I can’t stop watching it. I know she regrets what she started. No quitting allowed though. Three more seasons to go.



  • I want a system-level way to display what resolution, fps, etc. I’m currently streaming at. Finding it in the TV menu is clunky and I don’t keep that remote nearby.

    I use HomePods for my TV audio, so I really need a wireless audio sync option that isn’t horrible. Let me check all the options I want to sync and calibrate them all done at once, rather than sifting through the list and finding every possible combination of resolution + frame rate I think I might ever need, and syncing them one at a time.

    Upscaling features and picture adjustment on the Apple TV would be nicer than relying on my TV to do it, which seems to introduce lag and audio sync issues. I’m guessing an ATV with “Apple Intelligence” upscaling will launch someday.

    Sorry that’s 3 things.



  • At my last office job, years ago when I was young and lived with my parents and had very few financial obligations, I would always ask to clock out and leave whenever I ran out of work to do for the day. It was always busy mornings and slow afternoons. My boss thought I was insane for not wanting to get paid to sit there and fuck around on Facebook (her exact words.) But to me it was worth losing $30-60 to gain back 3-6 hours of my personal life every week.

    The boss and most co-workers were great, and the work wasn’t even bad when it was busy, but just physically being present there was soul-crushing.
