Key Takeaways

• macOS Sonoma (Tahoe) Beta Impressions: The speakers provide early feedback on macOS Sonoma, noting minor compatibility issues with some apps (Default Folder X, initial Carbon Copy Cloner incompatibility) but overall stability and a smooth transition from the previous version. A new Apple transcription API is highlighted as significantly faster than Whisper.
• "Your Friends and Neighbors" Recommendation: This Apple TV+ dark comedy crime drama follows a disgraced hedge fund manager who resorts to stealing from his wealthy neighbors. The show is praised for its dark humor, interesting ensemble cast, and intriguing plot.
• "Department Q" Recommendation: This grittier Netflix crime drama centers on a detective recovering from a shooting who solves cold cases. Its episodic structure, focusing on one cold case per season, is seen as a positive aspect. The show is praised for its well-told story and surprises.
• Daredevil Deal: The hosts mention a deal on Apple TV where three seasons of Daredevil are available for $35.
