IMO something like a Sonos Amp/Wiim Amp but with an Apple TV built in would be a great product but the larger market is getting so allergic to using actual speakers, it's sad.

I can say that 100% of the people who have listened to my HomePod setup are very impressed, and otherwise everyone gets a sound bar. I don't know if it has to do with my acoustics or something, but HomePods are extremely good speakers (and really not great assistants).

It also works extremely well with the ATV but doesn't really work with anything else.

It works great using earc on my lg
Oled so my Xbox can use them too.

I've determined the issue is actually the Max app on AppleTV just has terrible audio.

Perhaps after deleting all their movies WB realized they were still losing money and are now turning all their audio to mono mp3's to save bandwidth. :v:

I don’t think Max audio is lower quality but it’s definitely quieter.

I have YouTube premium basically for the no-ads upgrade. However, I'm really used to SponsorBlock on my desktop. Is there a way to implement SponsorBlock on the AppleTV, either with the native Youtube client or a 3rd party workaround?

i've been doing this for a few years but with argentina on a solo plan. they've increased the price by double or more a few times (probably due to the volatility of the argentine peso), but it's still cheap af

original price: ARS119 (equivalent to $1.12 at the time)
hike 1: ARS389
hike 2: ARS869
hike 3: ARS1899 (equivalent to $3)

At $3 it’s not far off just joining up with some other people to do a family plan if you think you’d commit for a year.

When Ukraine became an independent nation in 1991, its leaders asked that the article “the” be dropped when referring to Ukraine. Ukraine’s etymologically descents from an old Slavic word for “borderland,” which would normally carry an article in front of it, and when it was part of the USSR the name made more sense in that context, but if Ukraine’s government has stated their preference to simply be referred to as “Ukraine,” then just respect that?

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

quote:

The name of Ukraine is frequently interpreted as coming from the old Slavic term for 'borderland' as is the word krajina.[20] Another interpretation is that the name of Ukraine means "region" or "country."
In the English-speaking world during most of the 20th century, Ukraine (whether independent or not) was referred to as "the Ukraine".[21] This is because the word ukraina means 'borderland'[22] so the definite article would be natural in the English language; this is similar to Nederlanden, which means 'low lands' and is rendered in English as "the Netherlands".[23] However, since Ukraine's declaration of independence in 1991, this usage has become politicised and is now rarer, and style guides advise against its use.[24][25] US ambassador William Taylor said that using "the Ukraine" implies disregard for Ukrainian sovereignty.[26] The official Ukrainian position is that "the Ukraine" is both grammatically and politically incorrect.
We can all copy/paste Wikipedia.
But honestly, I think they're currently more pissed off about what THE MUTHA RUSHA is doing to them than pedantically white-knighting the lack of the article "the."

I think it’s ok to ask people not to inadvertently use language that might be incredibly prickly or politically charged towards people who are having a tough time of things, and who also use the internet. There’s tons of politically charged language or otherwise thorny language that most Americans don’t use for good reasons too, which people on this site pick up on if it gets misused, so you really don’t have to be a baby about this one. I think I was pretty polite about the whole thing.

ukraine:

The last thing I’ll say considering this is the loving appletv thread of all places is that I live somewhere with lots of Ukrainian friends and neighbours, and people genuinely get pretty angry and upset if you use the ‘the’, it was considered a slur before the war and those feelings have only heightened for people since. It’s not hard to understand why, it’s not pedantry, there are other slurs people don’t use on SA anymore, we are past this website’s edgelord era and are better off for it.
But it’s also easy and understandable not to know you’ve got it wrong and said something inadvertently offensive, which is why I corrected the poster. That’s all.

With emulation coming I’m a bit sad I didn’t get the 64GB one ATV. The dolphin emulator should be drat awesome and I’m reasonably sure it should be able to upscale game cube games to 4K.

They couldn't even get Dolphin on Steam without Nintendo immediately DMCA'ing the whole thing. It's very likely not happening.

Nintendo cracked down on the Steam release because they were using actual Wii firmware code in the emulator (which I think they pulled out very quickly once that happened), it wasn't a DMCA thing they just got asked about it by Valve and said no. Like I said, the DolphiniOS fork has been shown running on a Vision Pro already.
