The word is barely used in a professional environment. Or even in normal conversation. It’s just forced in this show. And I live in England! 

The show takes place mainly in New York City... where the F-word is used as often as possible in every possible environment and situation. I haven't lived there for 10 years and I still haven't been able to get rid of my potty mouth!

That sounds incredible. Ridley Scott’s latest movie, also a historical piece, The Last Duel, was really great. 

I really want to see The Last Duel! I've been waiting for the price to drop on iTunes but now I see it's coming to HBOmax on the 14th!

For instance, BBC News did start with the font face Gill Sans, but it subtly alters the width of each letter's stroke in "BBC." It also very slightly kerns the E and W in "News" to bring the letters closer together.

Kerning is used to adjust the spacing between characters to make the word look better. Nothing to do with changing the font.

No shit Sherlock! Not exactly sure what your point is. You say, "adjust the spacing between characters," they said, "to bring the letters closer together" which is basically saying the same thing. Nobody said anything about changing fonts.

I like the content on AppleTV for the most part. But this weekly release of episodes is not what I am after. If I wanted the old network style TV I would not have gotten rid of my cable. So I will cancel my subscription after a month and after a few months pass I will sign up again for a month so I can binge the shows I like, repeat.

I don't really think weekly episodes are a huge reason people cut ties with cable. For me the big reason for getting rid of cable is not paying for 500 channels I don't watch and not having to put up with annoying commercials.

I used to like to binge (and I still do occasionally). But more recently, and especially during the pandemic, I've found that I really enjoy looking forward to new episodes each week. I was also talking to a friend recently about how prior to the binge era style of consuming media, a show had the ability to become a milestone for that particular time in your life. If you spend a day or two binging a season (or multiple seasons) of a show, those stories and characters become easily forgettable. Whereas spending many weeks, months, and after multiple seasons, many years with a show, those stories and characters become part of your life... almost like family. And when shows like that end there is a sadness because it represents the end of an era for you and those characters. You don't get that very much anymore with modern streaming shows.

Is Reduced Bass a new option? I have the original HomePods.

It’s a new option.
and a very welcome one in certain rooms and circumstances…

I have Reduce Bass on mine and I haven't updated yet.
