People ask me all the time what streaming box I use because of the screensavers.

The underwater screen saver option isn't there for me, what the gently caress.

It’s not a separate option. It’s part of the Aerial screensavers. It took a few days and changing my update frequency to daily to get them to show up.

Interesting. I'll have to refresh that macOS screensaver API and see if it picks them up. I use some of them for b-roll footage.

I could watch the kelp forest in loop for a looooong time. Sober even. Thanks again to the good who posted the MacOS version of the Aerial savers. Our IT department will probably hunt me down if they found out I’m the one causing sudden storage issues on many employees laptops who have the 128 or 256 drives. The caching is pretty huge for the big videos, but oh so worth it.

The space one with the lightning probably isn’t new but it is awesome. Is there any point to the Apple Arcade app? Is it just a second App Store?

The Arcade games are good though  So is Apple music (for me at least).

Apple Arcade seemed cool but then it ate my save files and I cancelled the trial in disgust.

Ultimate Mango posted:Apple taking $5/month from suckers. It is true, it’s just hard because it’s really well executed on Apple’s part: iCloud storage: people hate losing their info, so $1-3 a month is worth it Apple Music: $10-15 steaming is replacing purchasing music for most people. I buy some vinyl, but honestly Apple Music is still worth it because I can’t exactly play vinyl in my car (yes they usually come with a digital copy, but it’s super convenient). Apple Arcade: surprising to me that people like it, but if it’s executed well it’s especially cheap for families. I can see this being super popular for parents Apple News: this one boggles me a bit as well, but people are overwhelmed with news options, so a service like it will become more and more popular. Apple TV: definitely the most sparse, but as they said, free for a year. I’ve been paying for Apple Music and iCloud storage for years , for sure those two are a good value.

Honestly my take is that I really loving hate subscriptions. It’s one of my least favorite trends of the modern age. I like things it’s attached to but the system as a whole, ugh. Apple at least doesn’t entirely gently caress me over though. Their stuff is usually high value with a consistent level of quality throughout. If I’m going to engage in modern entertainment/technology I may as well go with the company who has given me quality for my money for 10+ years.

I’m fine paying for their services for the most part, but I will always be irked that they don’t give you a free 5GB of iCloud storage per device you own, rather than 5 per account. That just seems aggressively petty.

Duckman2008 posted:It is true, it’s just hard because it’s really well executed on Apple’s part: Oh, I wasn’t knocking it. Just the truth of why Apple, and every other software company, are moving to a subscription model. Apple Music and iCloud are great. Apple News had tuned the things they lock behind the sub such that I basically had to, and it’s great. I have three Apple TV’s. At least they don’t charge an Apple Music sub per HomePod, that would get expensive.

I appreciate that all of the new services are family plan by default at least.

Is there some obvious thing I’m missing about YouTube connect? The only way to get mine to show up in the YouTube app on phone is by force closing and reopening the app on the TV. Even closing/opening YouTube on my phone doesn’t really fix it. I can always airplay, but I just want to cast videos and make playlists. My roommate has a chromecast or fire stick I think and it always shows up regardless Ultimate Mango posted:Swipe Good tip, thanks! Would be nice if we had more control over it all but hey. I noticed you can change while the screensaver is on, and while previewing.

So I just turned on the Astros Yankees game through the fox sports app and the game has a 4K UHD logo. So apparently Fox Sports is streaming live sports in 4K now? Is that a first? I should also say I have no idea how to tell if it’s truly a 4K signal I’m seeing but it looks REALLY good so probably.

Yeah, Fox Sports has been doing 4K for a while now, I think. I seem to recall someone mentioning it a few months ago in one of the sports threads.

That’s weird because I’ve watched a ton of college football, college basketball, and MLB baseball over the past year on the app and I’ve never once seen that 4K logo.

It's probably pretty rare. Playoff baseball seems like a high enough marquee event to have it.

Thursday Night Football goes out in 4K HDR too except 1. It’s an upscale because they use the 4K cameras to crop and zoom and 2. HDR only works on satellite right now. But! Omg it looks so much better than my cable feed that neither of those points matter.

NitoTV figured out that there is a pin layout for lightning connection on the Apple TV 4k PCB Someone else found the external connector hiding behind a flap in the Ethernet jack https://twitter.com/littlesteve/status/1184961398146650112

This was sort of asked once before but apparently not answered, and I can't seem to find a straight answer by googling. What determines whether the AppleTV (4K in my case) is allowed to fall asleep during AirPlay? It's not much good to me to AirPlay podcasts to it if I have to fiddle with the remote every 10 minutes or whatever

I don't think I set anything special for that. When I get a chance I'll check. E: nope. there's no setting under AirPlay that would affect this. I also have the aTV 4K set to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Oct 18, 2019 |

If you change it to No does that prevent it from falling asleep?
