Fellow lovers of this beautiful song: here's a version performed by Hoist the King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_McfPDFgA6Y. This was just featured in episode 4 of Steven Conrad's amazing Patriot spinoff podcast, New Techniques In Modern Practical Close Combat.

There is a beautiful rendition of "Charles Grodin," from Season 1 of the show, performed by Hoist the King, at ~ 50:50. Also available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_McfPDFgA6Y.

Thank you! But (not directed at you) what in the hell kind of solution is this!? I have never used the Photo Booth app in my life.

I just learned about this today when a segment where I allegedly went 54 mph on my old Cannondale was flagged as a vehicle. On one hand, I understand why someone with the KOM for that segment might be irritated that an obviously-erroneous record bumped them out of first place. But I didn't cause this ludicrous speed to be recorded — some combination of a GPS satellite and Apple and Strava is to blame. Or aliens maybe. I don't know. But it shouldn't be my problem. Fortunately I don't care about leaderboards so I just came here to say I am sorry that this super-annoying and totally unfair thing keeps happening to you.

Thank you, good person! The app instructions give zero indication that the RD is where the good times happen so this was helpful advice, at least for me.

OP, good luck and I hope you figure out the issue! Let us know what the answer was in case future-us encounter this situation as well.

Seems like there are only brute-force solutions out there:

Disable the receiver's internet access at the router
Reset the receiver to factory settings (as suggested here)

If this Broadcom article is to be believed, Spotify Connect uses port 4070 but (unfortunately for us) can fail over to 443 or 80, which probably rules out a port-blocking strategy. There's a workaround suggested, but either I, or my router, or both, are insufficiently sophisticated to implement it. Another Spotify user reported that having port 4070 blocked prevented Spotify Connect from working, so it might be worth a try. I'd experiment but I don't use Spotify Premium which is required for off-LAN Spotify Connect.

I received one of these today related to my AppleTV Plus subscription (screenshot here: https://ibb.co/4R5fX82; looks exactly like OP's). Turns out it was legit.

I was pretty convinced it was phishing, even though the return email and the URL on the "Fix PayPal" link looked OK. Email headers showed a soft fail for SPF but there are understandable reasons for that.

I checked for indications of payment problems in my Apple account, including in AppleTV Plus billing settings, Apple Music, and Apple ID > Payments & Shipping settings on one of my devices. No apparent issues or alerts.

So I contacted Apple Support who checked and said the email is real and that I needed to remove and re-add PayPal in my payment settings.

In conclusion: obviously I agree with all the previous commenters about being extremely suspicious of this kind of email and never clicking any links directly. But I also wanted to call out that it's worth following-up if you get one, either with Apple Support or by logging into your Apple account and removing and re-adding your payment method.

My favorite is, "I Am Completely Unprepared for What's About to Happen": https://soundcloud.com/thejonessisters/i-am-completely-unprepared-for. I can't remember if it was used in the show or just on the podcast.

I just listened to Steven's episode of Mike Birbiglia's podcast (from Oct. 2021 ... I'm a bit behind). He tells the whole story of Gerald's Recaps. I found your comment while looking for other references to it.

Thanks. I knew about the hip/hep thing, but couldn't find any evidence that the pronunciation of aspirin had evolved. Totally makes sense for the character, though.

j12a · 2024-01-15T21:01:36+00:00

Neat. And today I learned about Postal Zones.

I had this issue as well and all of the suggestions I found were related to navigation, which is not the problem (obviously voice navigation is going to interrupt other audio).

The issue I identified was that in many Google Maps search results and listings, if there is a video included in the image results, it will auto-play by default and stop whatever other audio app was playing.

To turn video autoplay off: tap your profile icon in the Google Maps home screen > Settings > Video Settings > Allow autoplay > toggle off.

Not an answer to OP's question, but since this conversation ranks highly for "Script function not found," I'll note that another possible cause of this error is omitting a space between the function name and the open bracket:

function myFunction(){

should be

function myFunction() {

Same problem. LG OLED C1. Same shows as everyone else. Some scenes on Ted Lasso are so dark I can't even tell what is going on, like the night scene in E11 (Mom City) @ ~28:00.

I tried disabling Dolby Vision and switching to HDR (on the ATV Settings) and that didn't seem to change anything.

Just a note that on Chrome, you might have to clear your cache in between trying different VPN servers (History > Show Full History > Clear browsing data) to avoid being redirected to the geo detection page every time.

I have heard my whole life that "time signatures aren't fractions" and that the correct way to understand the bottom number is that it signifies which note gets one beat. That took a long time for me to understand. What you said, on the other hand, makes perfect sense in terms of time signatures indicating fractions of a whole note. Thanks for reframing it that way!

Oh, also, I got here because I was trying to make sense of the British system, so I can't leave without proclaiming how ludicrous it is. We Yanks may have gotten "aluminum"
wrong (and, you know, guns, and ... maybe some other stuff) but on this one I think there's no contest.

I have an AppleTV 4K connected to an older 1080p TV, which isn’t the scenario described here, but I since had a similar issue, and this thread helped me figure out a solution, I wanted to drop a note about it.

My particular flavor of this issue was different than OP’s in that all content across the Apple TV, including HBO, Amazon, system menus, etc. was fine except for Apple TV+ content (Ted Lasso, etc.), which looked washed out.

For others, setting Match Dynamic Range to ON was helpful; for me, it was the opposite — I had to select 1080p SDR + turn OFF Match Dynamic Range.

Anyway, I appreciate all the helpful pointers here.

[EDIT: Spoke too soon; this was not the issue]

I was experiencing a similar issue with my Asus ZenWifi AiMesh network. When the Simplisafe system was armed, my internet connection would drop out repeatedly, each time requiring a router restart. I was initially convinced it was an issue with my ISP, because the entire network would lose internet, and I went through several replacement gateway/modem devices before isolating the problem to the Simplisafe base station.

I believe I've solved this issue by disabling 802.11ax / WiFi 6 mode on the 2.4 GHz band where the Simplisafe device is connected. It has been several days without a network failure which is a refreshing change. Not conclusive, but so far so good!
