It’s awesome that you got your partner on board with The Expanse, even if the pace is slower than you’d like. I’ve been in that boat - trying to dodge spoilers while the fandom is buzzing can be a real challenge. One trick I found helpful is muting keywords like “Expanse” or character names on social media until you catch up. It’s a bit of a digital bubble, but it works. For spoiler-safe discussions, the official subreddit has spoiler tags you can filter out, and some fan podcasts do “no-spoiler” recaps that might be a fun way to stay connected without risking reveals. Also, if you want to dive into fan theories or background info later, there are great YouTube channels that timestamp spoilers, so you can skip ahead when ready. Hang in there - the payoff once you’re caught up is totally worth it!

I’ve got a 2019 MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura with 16GB RAM and an external 4K monitor connected via USB-C. Lately, whenever I open Adobe Premiere Pro - even just for trimming clips or adding basic transitions - the fans ramp up to max, and the laptop gets really hot, which is unusual because I’m not doing any heavy rendering or effects. I’ve already tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, checked for any background tasks hogging CPU, and made sure Premiere and macOS are fully updated. It’s frustrating because I mostly do light video editing and would expect the fans to stay quieter. Has anyone experienced similar overheating with Premiere on MacBooks without heavy workloads? Are there any settings or workflows I could tweak to keep the fans quieter without sacrificing performance?
