The <a href="https://atp.fm/">Accidental Tech +Podcast</a> is my favorite by a mile.</p> +<p>It's the one that I look forward to every week. It comes out on +Thursdays, often right when I'm leaving work. It's a sign that +the weekend is right around the corner.</p> +<p>I'll get some of the reasons why out of the way quickly, the reasons +particular to me and my tastes.</p> +<ul> +<li>The topic, the world of technology and all things around it, + is right in my wheelhouse. It's my profession, but also my hobby. + That's what got me in the door. If this stuff isn't your thing, + then this podcast won't be either.</li> +<li>They talk a lot about Apple products and that ecosystem, which + where I spend my personal time.</li> +<li>But they also cover a lot of issues that touch on the world of + technology: business, law &amp; politics, companies, social media. + I like their descriptions, their take, their rants.</li> +<li>They end up talking a lot about personal tech too. Like how to + manage family photos and backups. The hard, fussy stuff that ends + up taking up so much of our lives. For example, what's the best + way to help parents deal with passwords. Hard stuff!</li> +<li>I especially like tech-adjacent topics like home audio/video, + home automation, and gaming.</li> +</ul> +<p>But what I appreciate more than the content of ATP are the +hosts and the care and they take to produce a good show.</p> +<ul> +<li>They are <strong>friends</strong>. It's nice hanging out with people + who like each other. It's kind of like we have permission + to eavesdrop and be a part of that.</li> +<li>They're not afraid to discuss <strong>their lives</strong>. + Stuff like families and work/life stress. + This is good stuff for me because I'm in that the same life + situation as them, middle-aged tech dads. + But bringing their whole selves + to the show is a bit of vulnerability that I appreciate.</li> +<li>ATP is <strong>exceptionally well produced</strong>. I didn't + appreciate this until I'd heard so many other podcasts that + are produced terribly, with bad recordings or poorly mixed. + Usually you have to turn to the corporate, fancy + podcasts, but they also have lots of ads and are + usually different kinds of shows.</li> +<li>And the show is so <strong>well edited</strong>. They edit it without + losing any of the content or the pacing, and sparing us all the + awkward "um where were we" and technical futzing.</li> +<li>They <strong>don't talk over each other</strong>. Part of this is discipline, + part of this is just politeness. But also now that I've listened + to the pre-edit "bootleg" a couple of times, I've come to appreciate + how much of this is also fixed in the edit. Nice job Marco.</li> +<li>They are <strong>respectful</strong>. They don't put people down, they aren't + mean. When they kid each other it's in good fun.</li> +<li>When (rarely) they wade into social justice or + world events, they do so respectfully and thoughtfully. + They understand that as three three cis-gendered white guys, + it's good to have views to share, but also right to listen + and help others.</li> +<li>Their show is <strong>reliable</strong>. It's great that they keep to a + regular format schedule. It fits into the rest of your life + and becomes something you count on.</li> +<li>Finally, some small things: Yay for proper use of + <strong>chapter markers</strong>, hardly anybody else does. And I like their + their occasional forays into <strong>car talk</strong>, just because I like car + stuff too.</li> +</ul> +<p>Although they joke about how much of the show is devoted to feedback, +it's one of my favorite parts. It shows that they listen and are +learning. And they share that learning with all of us. A recent +example was six minutes or so into <a href="https://atp.fm/570">Episode 570</a> when I learned +how home power battery systems, when full, signal this by changing +<em>the frequency of AC power</em> as a signal to solar panels to back off. +Fascinating!</p> +<p>I like the members-only specials. It's OK with me that these are only +available to members. +I like how candid they've been talking about ad revenue drying up +recently and they could use the extra revenue channel. these +episodes are a nice way to reward members. They've managed to +do these without compromising the core show.</p> +<p>The best thing they ever did on ATP was getting a sponsor to send John +toasters to review. And <a href="https://www.caseyliss.com/2015/9/10/siracusa-on-toasters">review he did</a>! I didn't appreciate how +many bad toasters there are, and how they can be bad for so many +reasons. My favorite reason was poor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/knobfeel">knob feel</a>.</p> +<p>Nice work <a href="https://hypercritical.co/">John</a>, <a href="https://marco.org/">Marco</a>, and <a href="https://caseyliss.com/">Casey</a>. +Please keep it up for a long, long time.</p>https://sef.kloninger.com/posts/atp/Tue, 13 Feb 2024 01:00:00 GMTThe iPhone's SIM Tray Went Away Too Soonhttps://sef.kloninger.com/posts/esim/Sef Kloninger<p><img style="float:right" class="postimage" src="https://sef.kloninger.com/f/sim.png" alt="SIM" width="25%"></p> <p>If you've traveled internationally, likely you've used a SIM card for local data and calls.
