    Unfortunately no Smartube app outweighs any other nicety of it for me. Otherwise I'm all in the Apple ecosystem, but for a Google TV streaming box. Youtube is utterly insufferable without it. 
    How is YouTube "insufferable" on Apple TV stb? I watch a ton of YouTube content through the official app for Apple TV and have zero complaints. 

    I assume they were referring to the intrusive ads on the official YouTube app. I have never used "SmartTube", but I understand it to be ad-free and probably of questionable legality as it circumvents YouTube's terms of service, which is likely why it's not available as an AppleTV app.

  • Asahi Linux M4 support hits a roadblock because of Apple Silicon changes

    Not sure why anybody would want to run an emulated Unix instead of the certified Unix that is natively run as sold. Running Linux in virtual machines is more than good enough to use a Linux environment if required.
    It's literally the opposite of emulated, and is in fact more "native" than running it in a virtual machine, since the whole point is to run Linux on "bare metal" (Apple silicon).

  • Sonos abandons its streaming Apple TV rival even as it was in testing

    Good lord. Who in Sonos thought a video streaming service was a good idea?!
    I don't see where the word "service" is ever mentioned in the original article. The article is about a streaming player *device*, not a service. Maybe they were also working on a service, but that's not mentioned here.

  • Apple planning iOS 18.2.1 update with general bug fixes

    Hmmmm... maybe this will finally address the iOS 18 bug that broke CarPlay in Mazdas and at least a couple of other brands of which I'm aware from Apple Discussion threads online about the issue. Essentially, most uses of Siri ("Siril, play BLANK album on Apple Music) causes an immediate crash after the command is given and you have to unplug/replug the phone. My wife's iPhone Pro is still running 17.x and continues to have no issues. 
    Mine (Audi) doesn’t crash, but it just starts playing random songs or even videos from my library, and NOT what I requested!
