My MacBook Pro is certainly better for having done a nuke & pave with Catalina, which I should have done when it was new but chose to restore from a MacBook Air backup.

I’m waiting on FujiXerox printer drivers before shifting the iMac to Catalina.
windrider

Respectfully disagree.

FujiXerox print drivers, you might be waiting a while :)

Ewen

still off?
DeepPan
16:05:03
yep, no sound
windrider

FujiXerox claim they’ll have drivers by January but I’m not holding my breath. It took them 18 months to get Yosemite-compatible drivers out.

bob have you heard it?
bobbeach
16:22:14
I don't want Apple to produce too many shows. I want quality not quantity. 99% of the stuff on Netflix is crap
bobbeach
16:24:37
You shouldn't miss it as the next esposde appears on tht TV app under up Next
bobbeach
16:26:38
I like The Morning Show
bobbeach
16:27:08
Not all reviews Jeff. The Guardian reviewer loved it
bobbeach
16:27:36
Aniston and Witherspoon are both getting very good in it
bobbeach
16:28:37
Sorry, but I hated The Newsroom.
bobbeach
16:29:08
Seinfeld seasons 1 and 2 weren't especailly good
bobbeach
16:29:41
That's true
bobbeach
16:30:28
Yes, it was incrediby obvious
bobbeach

They were all woken up at the start by Apple Phones
DeepPan
16:31:38
Next show on AppleTV, “See-Ree” :D
bobbeach
16:31:48
It didn't bother me at all. So what?
bobbeach
16:33:09
I love it too. It's easily the best of the shows
bobbeach
16:33:35
A very clever, plausible, alternative history
bobbeach
16:35:05
Small changes @Patrice?! I wouldn't say that as the Soviet Union got there first!
DeepPan
16:35:10
Similar twist to “Man in the High Tower”, and the knock on effect
DeepPan

16:38:07
v.true @bobbeach :D
bobbeach
16:38:46
Old timey stuff!
DeepPan
16:39:22
… or is it a show about a antiques expert turn tv presenter, with wood-stained skin? :D
bobbeach
16:41:52
It's a book I'd like to read
DeepPan
16:42:22
Is she still wearing a cape?
bobbeach
16:42:57
It does seem quite a delay
DeepPan
16:43:12
Does the bookclub show give out links to the book in the Apple Store?
bobbeach
16:44:10
By the way, the streamong video quality on ApleTV+ is superb
bobbeach
16:44:48

Good thing with the new AirPods is that there’s no pressure in the ear like you get with other in-ear
bobbeach
16:47:31
The audio quality is definitely better for me - better bass, clearer treble
DeepPan
16:48:18
and no pressure on the eardrum, like you get with over the ear noise cancelling headsets
mullerbiker
16:49:00
Why nt get these what hifi 5 star quality unlike airpods
mullerbiker
16:49:07

bobbeach

@mullerbiker It's like most Apple devices - it's the integration with everything else that is the deciding feature for me

Is there a gap in the market for a display company to just make a top quality display, and a separate tuner/smart TV unit? Upgrade the two independent of each other
DeepPan

@Ewen, I’ve had that, restarting the AppleTV seems to clear it
SwampRat
20:34:40
The seperate boxes are usually supported way longer than the smart TV apps from my experience.

@Atley, it looks like the physical limit for HDMI cables are 15m. Over that, you’ll need some sort of extender/repeater

thanks @DeepPan

I have also been examining HDMI over Ethernet, that apparently is possible because of the powered connectors on either end.
DeepPan
20:47:18
As long as those adapters will still support the copyright protection like HDCP
BenGillam
20:47:30
The trouble is all the licensing stuff prevents access to many or makes it awkward and piracy becomes the easy way round it
