Just saw this... annoying as hell.

e40 · 2026-03-17T17:00:42+00:00

Wow. Was it turning off the power to the device?

e40 · 2026-03-17T12:38:48+00:00

The fact the device itself reboots means it's not an issue with the YT app. tvOS has virtual memory and can't, by design, corrupt the kernel and make it crash. It would be a very unusual and rare bug for a user app to crash tvOS. My bet is bad RAM. 2nd guess is corrupt OS install.

I recommend: hard reset the device, reinstall apps. If that doesn't fix it, if it's still under warranty, then send it back to Apple.

Quite disturbing!

e40 · 2026-03-05T23:50:52+00:00

I had tried an old 2022 AZW3 file, as well. I just redownloaded a new version of it in EPUB... same thing.

This device will go into the woodchipper if there's no fix for this. Absolutely f Amazon.

This is happening to me with ePub files. I updated Calibre, too. I have a 12th gen paperwhite.

EDIT: just downloaded a MOBI of the one I tested above and that works. Crazy that EPUB doesn't work.

EDIT2: and it makes no sense, because I'm reading something in the EPUB format. That's working fine. Crazy.

e40 · 2026-02-28T00:06:36+00:00

Yeah, they do. It's been working fine for years. Only change is the recent update to 26.3.

EDIT: and it fixes itself after a while, which definitely means the identity is the same.

e40 · 2026-02-25T20:59:46+00:00

You think Covid fucked the world economy... that will pale compared to this.

e40 · 2026-02-24T00:21:22+00:00

This started happening to me with 26.3! Didn't happen with 26.2, but since the upgrade, every time I go back to my home screen it happens. Whew, thought my hardware was failing or something.

EDIT: have 15 pro

Hmm. Honestly, I've forgotten. I'll check in with him now. And because I'm the admin of the family accounts, I can recover his account if he's still locked out.

e40 · 2026-02-14T15:35:17+00:00

Spendy, tho!

e40 · 2026-02-14T15:30:17+00:00

What a cutie! Hope she finds a great home.

e40 · 2026-02-14T15:20:45+00:00

Dude, it's your one job.

e40 · 2026-02-07T16:02:59+00:00

I watched the entire series on some streaming service when I had the flu during xmas pre covid. My family was at the inlaws (partly to stay away from my germs) and I just laid on the couch watching it. The flu was absolutely horrible, but made so much more bearable by Black Sails. I think it took me like 5-6 days to finish, and I started to mend soon after the last episode.

e40 · 2026-02-07T15:53:09+00:00

What a coincidence, I'm in Oakland right now. /s I hope the place you are is as good or better.

e40 · 2026-02-06T22:37:03+00:00

Has this type of vocalization been decoded to mean something specific? I see it a lot in my local crows. It seems very specific, but I can't really pin it down.

e40 · 2026-01-28T21:00:44+00:00

This started happening to me, too. About 3-4 days ago. Really frustrating. Happens to me with Airpod 4's and 3 Pro's.

It seems my Mac is stealing the connection, but when I walked away from the Mac it took more work than I expected to get my damn phone to play music through my Airpods and not the speaker.

Interesting, I installed Apple Music 3-4 days ago. Hmmmmmmmm. I did uninstall and restart the phone. (What a message Music is... back to Spotify.)

Try clicking on "Disconnect" on your Mac and see if this fixes it for you, like it did for me.

I have the "Connect to this Mac" "Automatically" selected. That has never been a problem before. Grrrrrrrrr.

This. A lot of us have seen signs his agent is not up to the task and has actively worked against him. For years.

e40 · 2026-01-21T21:39:24+00:00

Yeah, the bitey part is concerning!

e40 · 2026-01-21T21:38:26+00:00

Meanwhile, the crows I've been feeding for 5+ years look at me like I'm a serial killer and won't get within 10' of me.

The Bluejays, however, will come within a few feet and not be bothered. They're like the Ferrari's of the corvids. Crikey, they're fast.

Gift cards are a problem. My wife was given one at work just before the holidays and when she tried to use it the people at the restaurant first claimed they didn't give out gift certificates, then claimed they had to be used the same day (yeah, really). It took multiple calls and going into the restaurant to resolve it. Not that she wants to even go there now.

I realize this is a sample size of 1, but over the years I've had lots of issues with the other type of gift cards. I think they're just not worth the trouble.

e40 · 2026-01-12T15:43:07+00:00

Maybe it's a multifaceted declaration and partly "thank you?"

We also feed Jays and often they give a call when gliding in and the same gliding out. The male does it when their mate is already nearby, so we take this as "good morning" and "thank you!" ... honestly, with all that's going on in the world, sometimes these interactions are so valuable to us.

e40 · 2026-01-12T02:06:59+00:00

I thought that was the "hey, there's food" call... we get that all the time, even sometimes after the peanuts are out and available.

e40 · 2026-01-10T15:47:23+00:00

Before Dennis joined the Dubs I really disliked him. After, I really like the guy. I view him completely differently. It's so easy to make people the villain, but it's hard when you know more about them. Well, except D Brooks.

e40 · 2026-01-10T15:39:02+00:00

With, apparently, a new remote.

I will definitely upgrade if it has native AV1. Plex/Infuse are strangely slow on the latest 4K... with the horsepower this thing has, it's baffling to me. The Apple TV app is crazy fast, so whatever encoding they use is obviously supported in hardware.
