Did you hide any apps in iOS 18?

I’m wondering if the UI wouldn’t show the name of a hidden app…

Working from the definition of sociopathy, I think you could substitute “AI” in a few spots and end up with a nearly equally-accurate definition of AI:

A sociopath is someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a lack of regard for others’ feelings and rights. People with ASPD may: Lack empathy and remorse Manipulate others for personal gain Behave impulsively or aggressively Break rules or laws Feel little guilt for harming others Seem charming at first Have difficulty understanding others’ feelings

Sooooo…the next update to AI is sociopathy:

Because AIs don’t share common human values like fairness or justice — they’re just focused on the goal they’re given — they might go about achieving their goal in a way humans would find horrifying.

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?
