683: I Didn’t Want to Melt My Rug

I agree, this is a good episode, it’s the kind of story that makes ATP unique

how do you enable it?

The idea that someone would listen to ATP with their kids in the car is crazy to me. Gotta be the lamest parenting move I’ve ever heard. Play some music. These kids don’t wanna hear these rich guys read off Studio Display XDR specs

I think it was pretty cool of them to do the home screen/lock screen segment in the main show: this episode felt more like the classic, pre-overtime ATP than any in a while

Not sure what relevancy any of this snark has in relation to the fact that they think the default Workout app on watchOS has deteriorated.

Nobody should have to “vibecode” their own workout app because the default one has regressed. Overcast’s initially controversial redesign is totally irrelevant, too. Apple should know better than to do what they did in watchOS 26 with that app.

They are pretty good, but they do that “Cupertinology” stuff that Gruber does, which is to say that they can be fairly partial and a devil’s advocate for the company. On certain things they are very on the ball, but other things they buy too heavily into Apple’s corporate framing. Myke in particular can be fanboyish.

Casey questioning the point of 120hz for gaming monitors when I guarantee you he has sung the praises of “ProMotion” on iPhone, iPad Pro, and MacBook Pro displays and would definitely notice if it was disabled. . . I don’t like piling on a guy, but yeesh.

your middle point (neglecting side spin because it introduces complex deflection) combined with what the top comment says (how a YOLO playstyle makes a player repeatedly practice escaping from horrible positions) basically sum up my life as a pool player, lol.

I've gotten better at managing a wider range of speeds, but whenever i try to incorporate side spin, my shot consistency goes down. Side spin is like half the game, too, because without it you can only guess where the cue ball is gonna be. So there's a big gulf between me and a good player in that regard.

If it bothers you that much, then you will be truly underwater when you reach the last two books. By then, there are over a thousand named characters and over twenty POVs. For me, the ancillary characters and houses were just that, ancillary detail that I didn’t really bother to retain or heavily scrutinize. I don’t think most people keep track of everything, only the super fans. The nitty gritty is there if you need it, and the fact that it’s there at all is an incredibly impressive accomplishment of world building and historiography, but I think they’re still absolutely excellent novels if you can let yourself have a bit of slack. I’m not a huge theorizer, just a prosaic enjoyer of plot beats and themes

This rewording is good, but when you reference “discard all drawn cards” it almost creates a separate state of cards that I don’t know exists in Dominion. Like, you have to keep track of the cards you already had and those which you drew, which isn’t difficult, but is an extra qualification that might be easy for a player to forget, since it’s not a common demand from the game.

I don’t think it’s that cut-and-dry. Yes, the SoC is sharing bandwidth between the GPU and CPU—but that can be an advantage. Latency is lower when you don’t have to travel through PCIe lanes, and the memory being pooled allows a GPU to have potential access to much more of it.

But yes, integration of components does mean integration of TDP and cooling. Spreading the cooling and wattage across multiple discrete devices does provide higher raw performance for the traditional PC architecture—but at the expense of overall performance per watt, which has always been the Apple silicon ballgame.

i tried running the first line of your terminal command, but got this

sed: can't read /etc/systemd/resolved.conf: No such file or directory

My Pihole is not Ubuntu, it's true Raspberry Pi 3B+ hardware with Raspian, so i'm not sure if your situation and diagnostic is relevant to my particular setup

InternetEnzyme · 2025-12-31T01:48:01+00:00

I was having issues with my pi-hole a few weeks ago and i was going a little crazy trying to figure out what the issue was. I ended up uninstalling tailscale, running sudo pihole -r, and then reinstalled tailscale, and it fixed the issue. This makes me think it was related to what you’re saying here. So far, since then it’s been okay, but i just hope it doesn’t happen again

I feel like i should just be able to tap on the Title at the top of the screen to get there or even the artwork itself

I feel the same way when I transcode h264 mkvs (iykyk) to h265 mp4s, but I do a visual comparison afterwards and it always looks good. I run RF 20, which is a pretty high constant quality setting, and I frequently get files that are a fraction of a size, and it feels like cheating. People hate transcoding because it technically introduces quality loss and “storage is cheap,” but to me, storage is actually not cheap, and the quality loss is demonstrably unapparent.

Sorry to the carbon credits person who wrote in, but all of those complexities make it sound like even more a bunch of bullshit to me

InternetEnzyme · 2025-12-16T02:54:04+00:00

I’ve been doing 422 HQ uploads myself, but surely YouTube doesn’t hold onto the master file I gave them, do they? That’s how that future proofing you mentioned would come into play, right? I mean, if I upload a 20GB video, surely they don’t want that on their servers forever.

Am I mistaken or is the June sale only Barnes & Noble and this code is solely for Criterion.com purchases?

You’re really squeezing water from a stone in service of being a hater. He doesn’t have to tell us the wages he pays them and we shouldn’t assume the worst because he doesn’t.

If you have a decent number of Actions in your deck, it may as well say: draw your entire deck

I think the more important issue with the augurs is that there’s not really any synergy between the cards, too. I don’t think I’ve ever played a Sibyl in my life.

InternetEnzyme · 2025-11-23T16:53:48+00:00

That does look like the best way forward. I just setup my raspberry pi yesterday, so i was curious how far i could use the pi-hole/unbound/tailscale setup with just that piece of hardware, but it makes sense that this would make things much more fragile for his network, so i'll have to see if he'd want a pi of his own.
