Ran in place to Fifth and Mission podcast via Apple TV then Bill Vicars on YouTube on my MacBook Pro. Noticed today error "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" on Apple TV. Problem happens when attempting to browse details for any podcast to which I am not yet subscribed. Subscribed podcasts play as expected. Force restarting the Podcasts app did not fix it. Restarting Apple TV did not fix it. Logging out of iCloud and logging back in did not fix it. Then the Finish Home Setup process (Add This Apple TV to Your Home) failed to finish. Turning Bluetooth off then on again resulted in Setup Failed after a long time trying and failing to connect. I restarted Apple TV. I tried finishing home setup process again on my iPhone. Now it doesn't even get as far as trying to connect. After some digging online I reinstalled the Apple Home app on my iPhone. (I had removed it long ago because I never used it.) Setup Failed (-6753) again, but now in Apple TV in Airplay and HomeKit settings it says My Home is connected. First problem still remains, though: Item Not Available when attempting to view details for any podcast new to me. Gave up for now. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk and diced nectarine; water. Today Patrick visited with his mom while Kerry was away. No sprint standup. Handled some review inbox items. Lots of Siteimprove policy work. UCSF town hall. We learn from SFDPH data from July 28 that surge modeling predicts the current delta surge to peak in late August with hospitalizations peaking in early- to mid-September and a return to baseline in mid-October. Lunch and dinner at home: leftovers from last night, water. I posted a few items we didn't need online to give away. After Patrick returned we watched Ted Lasso s2:e3 on Apple TV+. Patrick went to bed. Late snack: one carrot and a few mini pretzel sticks with hummus, water. Dried tart cherries.
