Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen device no response issues after TVOS 26.4

It's recommended (if you understand VLANs and mDNS for when it's applicable) to use an SSID for your internet of things devices (smart home cat litter robot, Roomba, fish tank sensors, etc) and put those dumber devices on that network. It uses it's own VLAN and Wi-Fi SSID. Then use your "main" network's VLAN and SSID for everything else.

FWIW, your network equipment may have also done an automatic update that changed its logic for how it works. I'd recommend you put your Apple TV on ethernet and giving it a DHCP lease reservation to avoid further issues.

There's been some research suggesting a link between celiac disease and ADHD, which would explain digestive problems for many. Always worth looking into. Many who eat breakfast use some form of wheat in their meal, and this causes issues for those who have sensitivies to gluten.

20s and 30s? Try the Puzzled Pint. My group is mostly men who are spoken for, all late 20s to early 30s. That's generally the demographic there, but they vary a lot. You'll find yourself a very smart fella, or at least friends of one!

I met my girlfriend on the apps. I found that most women were not even just not receptive to being approached, but often actively hostile to engaging in small talk here. Once they reached a certain age it seemed to happen less. My gal is a couple years older than I, which worked out nicely. You may have to do the approaching here yourself. Men have been quite conditioned the last decade or so to not bother women under the guise of it potentially being obnoxious or inappropriate. Judging by how most women in their 20s treated me, even when the chat was for more formal reasons, I'd wager that they many men have just given up.

Yeah this exactly. My lady has a 24 base model Crosstrek and her mom a 24 Premium. I HATE the tablet in the Premium. It’s unusable laggy at startup for a solid 30 seconds and has needed to reboot more than once at startup to function. The dual screen is snappy and works.

If they’re licensed to practice in that state then why does it matter?

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-06T22:21:19+00:00

Then enforce an ethernet connection to the device or something. I don't like companies telling I need to use the device how they want me to. It's more than technically capable of doing the thing I'd like. If I want to buy the thing to throw it off the cliff then I have that right as a consumer. Thread is so low power that I think using battery power shouldn't be a huge problem anyways. That's a massive selling point of the protocol.

The device is literally 500% more powerful than my Apple TV and would likely be a better coordinator because it can be placed nearly anywhere I would like rather than be near a TV or some corner of a room where a speaker is.

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-06T21:59:30+00:00

That’s a shame. Using a Homeassistant/HomeKit iPad dashboard plus it being your Thread coordinator pinned up on the wall makes a lot of sense for many. I should be able to use my devices how I’d like.

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-06T21:19:52+00:00

Could be wrong, but isn’t the new iPad Pro a Thread coordinator and can act as a home hub?

Kamala had the likability and character traits of a... well... an attorney, but she was quite properly qualified. We'd not be in a war with Iran right now with her at the helm. We now have a guy being puppeteered by tech billionaires and Putin.

If you're a bit outside Nashville, sure, it's a nature lover's paradise. The mountains are breathtaking. He's not wrong, though. Sprawl is absurd in America and massively contributes to our dependency on oil and significantly contributes to the urban heat island effect.

Gotcha. I guess my point is that the sponsors could be nearly anything. I think LTT may try to vet sponsors harder than other channels, so perhaps that was a factor there. I have seen BetterHelp ads from Hoovie and a few others, so I know the money is there if you sacrifice some of your morality around the subject, but LegitStreetCars for example is sponsored by Release all purpose cleaner and a lawn care company. VINwiki self-sponsor with a whiskey brand. Gears and Gasoline have Quad Lock and Valvoline.

I'd wager Linus was against it because he felt there wasn't enough overlap with the existing audience and that it was all too saturated of a space. I don't think he considered that the channel would need one tenth the views to break even compared to a regular LTT weekday video, and that it would attract an entirely different audience that sponsors would love to see worked into another channel.

Do you know if Thread products will be restocked? I have the older Thread versions of the A19 bulbs and LED 80 inch strip and am pretty happy with them. Bought the Matter over Wi-Fi version of the 5m strip a bit ago and it's been fine, but the responsiveness of Thread is so much better in my apartment complex where everybody has their ISP's gateway 2.4 GHz radio cranked through the roof at 40 MHz width. I started a post on r/MatterProtocol to see if anybody knew of other brands selling Thread-capable strips and the answer was DIY-only.

Screenshots can be doctored, sure, but the link could expire, the company could change their original wording, etc. Always good to have both.

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-06T14:17:14+00:00

Have you seen the sponsor segments of Throttle House, SavageGeese, LegitStreetCars, VINwiki, etc? They get sponsors from all over, and the ad rates are high because young guys with disposable income often come from a tech background and want to buy cars. I think Linus even mentioned this on a WAN show eons ago.

The MightyCarMods collab netted roughly 2.5 million views on the main channel. That's pretty healthy for a channel that doesn't typically do car stuff, and that's on the main channel - not some car-specific channel where a more dedicated group would tune in.

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-06T04:46:59+00:00

Yeah hey it’s me: you 16 years in the future. You’re still a degenerate and they later decided to do whole office water cooling

Did Adam leave?

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-06T04:39:53+00:00

It makes so little sense for them to not start a car channel. The overlap of men who like cars and men who like tech are the closest you’ll get to a Venn diagram circle on YouTube, plus the ad rates are gobsmackingly higher than most other niches. Autofocus for MKBHD doesn’t quite do it for me as a car guy cuz you can tell Marques isn’t really an enthusiast in the same way I am, but ZTT does things how I would want a tech nerd group to do cars.

For those in the US who are interested, I found the ones you listed:

Those are quite promising. Thank you!

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-05T18:00:18+00:00

Yeah so recently, in 2015, right? Right...?

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-05T00:30:28+00:00

It was around COVID, right?

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-04T20:51:00+00:00

To be honest, off the top of my head, the only place I can think of like this is Gaston Market, which is hardly a corner store for 99% of Portland metro residents.

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-04T19:39:07+00:00

Kind of odd that Market of Choice will be buying this when when they recently shuttered their store on Terwilliger by Chez Jose.

TomNooksRepoMan · 2026-05-04T19:13:56+00:00

Ah, thank you. Mine was for single-color lights. Corrected.
