    Disappointed Apple TV 4K is still limited to 48 kHz audio from both hi-res Apple Music  and streaming directly from a Mac. Imagine if your photo streaming was limited to 720 ppi.  :|
    Yeah, the situation is inexplicable. The AppleTV could be a great streamer and all-in-one media centre. The hardware limitations on a premium product make no sense and continue to disappoint.
    Cough. Nyquist-Shannon. Human hearing range. #science
    The difference between 48KHz and 96KHz is fairly obvious to my ears. btw, maybe you should get that cough checked out...  :#

    It needs to have an EQ also which would be an easy software drop-in featue. MacOS has it, iOS/iPadOS have it, tvOS, which is more likely to have larger speaker setup for better living room / home theatre listening experience does not. Disappointing also.
    I think most people prefer EQing to be done at the system level, i.e. through your receiver or pre-amp.

  • iCloud Private Relay outage hits iPhone Safari users

    I had search issues on my iPhone Wednesday afternoon, which I thought was my wi-fi router. This morning however, my iPhone was ok, but my Mac had the iCloud Relay alert. I restarted and it seems fine now.

  • Party's over: Apple tries to shrink costs of Apple TV+ productions

    lotoneslotones
    I like Apple TV+'s content quite a lot. I find the quality very consistent from program to program. What drives me crazy is only 10 episodes a season, then you have to wait a year or more for a story to continue. By that time your emotional investment in the characters has evaporated, the young actors are a year or more older and taller, and major plot lines are a distant memory. I know this is the same model all streamers use, but if Apple wants to build an audience, longer seasons and quicker turnarounds would go a long way. 

    Specifically in Foundation's case, spend less $ per episode (less elaborate sets,  locations, and extras would be fine...), but spread it out to more episodes, and move the plot along faster.

    Keep the audience's attention you've fought so hard to get.
