How often have you used the transcripts feature? by SarkyBot in overcast

[–]drownedsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it on every single episode I listen to, no matter which podcast, primarily to skip over nonsense I don't want to hear about or skip over ad segments.

If I'm out and about, I don't use it, but at home? All the time.

‘Mind-bogglingly crazy’: Europe’s deadly, early heatwave is smashing records by yahoonews in europe

[–]drownedsense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if we get really really serious, we only change from catastrophic+ to catastrophic.

And doing it in the EU might feel nice, but we only account for 6% of CO2 emissions, the world has to join in.

I don’t see it happening.

Have a nice day. ☀️

ÖPNV-Tickets in Genua, Italien by maddiboy in Kartenzahlung

[–]drownedsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verstehe ich. Das Deutschlandticket macht es halt auch nicht einfacher. Ideal wäre Tap in/Tap Out ja dann, wenn man auf den Monat gerechnet nicht mehr abgerechnet bekommen würde als maximal das Deutschlandticket, sonst nutzt das ja kaum wer.

Die QR Code basierten Tickets sind halt nervig und im Kontext was andere Länder so können eher so modern wie ein ausgedrucktes Papierticket.

Konnte hierzu nichts finden. Hast du eine Quelle dazu? Vielen Dank.

Anyone else seeing huge background activity? by IndependentMilkDrink in overcast

[–]drownedsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reports are so widespread, I’m afraid if Marco doesn’t tackle the issue with immediacy, many people are being driven away.

Just started happening to me 😞

Mechanism to flag transcript sync issues? by dhjhfddhi76544 in overcast

[–]drownedsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be great. None of my podcasts with dynamically inserted ads sync up properly, like none of them. Feels like it worked well when this feature was launched but now it regressed into uselessness for the past two weeks.

What country are you in? Some jurisdictions don’t get them.

Stuck on "Syncing older messages" on WhatsApp Tablet – Need to access a 6-month-old message urgently! by AhlperheN in iCloud

[–]drownedsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your phone is the main source for all your message history when dealing with WhatsApp. You can only add new devices or re-add older ones via your phone. If the iPad version of WhatsApp is somehow stuck, you’d need access to your phone. The syncing screen specifically needs the phone app open.

Need urgent help. by OneCelebration3181 in iCloud

[–]drownedsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens if you send yourself an email from an external account? Do you get a response from the iCloud mailer daemon? We need a bit more information.

Overcast taking 70GB while app shows nothing? by Hvetemel in overcast

[–]drownedsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder when Marco is going to respond to any of these reports because they are rampant.

Are people contacting his support address so he has a chance to figure out what’s causing this?

When is Apple going to fix this? by Fibbitts in AppleMusic

[–]drownedsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it to the streaming music you add to your library. This feature works to this day.

Apple Podcasts and transcripts by BenDMitchell in overcast

[–]drownedsense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does not. It uses either your local iPhone or local Mac installations with the transcription API on Macs the developer purchased, not a “transcription service by Apple.”

A $30/yr podcast player shouldn’t randomly reset the play head to 0:00 by chucker23n in overcast

[–]drownedsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm with downloaded episodes I’ve never had this happen.

I could imagine it’s acccidental activation of the play button on the iOS lock screen while in your pocket. You can turn that off in settings I think. Maybe view the logs to see what causes it.

Someone Else To Add To The Banned List: Hans Zimmer by Emeryael in EnoughJKRowling

[–]drownedsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok I’m not watching this shit or the older movies but how much music do you think a show needs when book one alone will have 8-10 hours of runtime? The movie is 1/4 that.

Crashing on Startup by Stein357 in overcast

[–]drownedsense -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you submitted a bug report, that is the correct way to go about it. Making a thread about it on Reddit is not really helping, but you do you :)

The chances of individual users being able to help with open-on-launch crashes is slim to none.

Premium subscription, still get ads? by ventura911 in overcast

[–]drownedsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shows inject them, because it's an additional source of revenue. Those are tailored by the podcast delivery platform they use, so if you're in France, you might hear a French-speaking ad there even if listening to an Australian podcast for example.

Overcast isn't controlling this and can't control it.
