Does your amp support CEC? If so, you could make sure it is turned on for both ATV and the amp and just use the “HDMI” setting in the ATV settings.
Also, just to confirm—in the ATV’s remote>volume control settings, do you have it set to control the receiver via IR?
I have two MegaBoom 2’s—one is a complete champ, the other has very short battery life at this point.
They both work for my needs—the short battery one is in my bathroom and I leave it plugged in now.
The other one just floats around the house and gets a decent amount of use from my kids, who may or may not be slightly older than the speakers themselves.
The fact that they both work and only one has noticeably degraded battery life is surprising.
One of the theaters I used to go to is now a massive Amazon warehouse.
I’m ok with that—in practice and principle.
Only source seems to be this Slate article:
In respect to that specific Slate article, Snopes had some issues with it and labeled the story as “unproven”:

The Snopes article does a nice job of pointing out the Slate article’s issues.
This reminds me of that Chinese law about being personally responsible for all medical debts of a person you run over—incentivizing killing the person, rather than injuring them.
What time was this taken?
I distributed the watch over a long period of time—I only ever watched episodes while on a lunch break at work. It was an effective way of unplugging and just watching something “familiar”. I would typically bang out (up to) 2-episodes/day, 5-days a week over the course of about 2-years.
I just checked, and I have not watched the most recent episode, but I’m sure I will while on lunch sometime next week.
I would argue that majority are not as bad as you imply, though some are a tough watch—like the pointless travel shows, I recall Denmark and Canada as being a difficult watch.
I agree with the graphic.
However, I recently completed a straight watch-thru of every Simpsons episode, and while watching the lackluster episodes from seasons 20-30, I have to acknowledge one thing:
Quality of the show and its writing have noticeably improved since around Season 32.
The most recent episodes feel more centered on the family and much less on bizarre cameos and really outrageous situations. It actually feels like a show about the Simpson family and treats the characters more age-appropriately.
I don’t like that they lost/recast established voices of minority characters (Apu, Carl, Dr. Hibbert, etc), I do think the quality and the focus of the show is much better than it has been in almost 2-decades.
I don’t disagree that 8GB is generally less than I would accept for normal usage, but the way this article is written you can tell the author really doesn’t have any reasonable grasp of memory management.
At some point, a long time ago, we collectively transitioned from viewing mass shootings as an alarming epidemic, to something culturally endemic to our way of life. It’s an effortless rationalization made possible by for-profit news and for-profit politics.
Ugh, I am not looking forward to sweaty meatheads calling themselves “Golden Masters”…
If you are really patient, I think the sun will inevitably give us a whole bunch of helium.
I’d be open to that. Is there a market place?
I have the “opportunity” to invest in a platform which has operated for years without ever turning a profit?
This is known as “Eloning”, and I am not interested.

This isn’t a big deal.
If you’re developing in Xcode, you did not buy an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years.
If you are just using your Mac for Facebook and email, I don’t think you know what RAM is.
If you know what RAM is, and you bought an 8GB Mac in the last 10-years, then you are likely self-aware of your limited demands and/or made an informed compromise.
