00:00:00 ◼ ► So I should start the show by pointing out that it is fourteen degrees outside here in the place that does not have [TS]
00:00:07 ◼ ► winter. Are you still stuck on this right here let slip my my throat is reading thirteen point eight. [TS]
00:00:17 ◼ ► I'm twelve here get His know those two cents of those two point two degrees man. There killer.. [TS]
00:00:24 ◼ ► Right now that I got that out of the way. Do you understand follow up what we do. Let's talk about FS L. [TS]
00:00:32 ◼ ► So we have a couple of more pieces of interesting news flash feedback with regard to whether [TS]
00:00:38 ◼ ► or not you really need a cell for just plain old websites that don't really do anything interactive David Walken wrote [TS]
00:00:47 ◼ ► Mostly just Nephi on this is a demand for decently sized charter school in California [TS]
00:00:54 ◼ ► Wreaks havoc with the constant filters that we are required to have in place. I love the idea of cheap or free S.S.L. [TS]
00:01:08 ◼ ► And that's kind of unfortunate that schools have to filter everything but I totally understand it. [TS]
00:01:18 ◼ ► Now that it's going to the same thing that discussed last week to force everyone to have a certificate to manage [TS]
00:01:22 ◼ ► military and everybody else on the school's Internet and. You know what happens in corporate settings. [TS]
00:01:27 ◼ ► It happens in schools all the time and as we learned from many other people had the same back [TS]
00:01:43 ◼ ► Proxy decrypts everything see there are all the traffic that goes through and who knows what else it does. [TS]
00:01:48 ◼ ► So this is definitely a thing it happens in all sorts of places it happens on plain wife I happens in academic settings [TS]
00:01:56 ◼ ► happens in corporate settings. Yeah but the wonders of S.S.L. Is not the fault of a cell but it's like. [TS]
00:02:04 ◼ ► People want to see your data. And if you try to use the cell to stop them from seeing your data. [TS]
00:02:08 ◼ ► If you wander into an environment where they say No really. We need to see your data. They'll see your data. Yep. [TS]
00:02:16 ◼ ► You know you can't have it both ways if you want to have complete control over what gets viewed over your network [TS]
00:02:26 ◼ ► So that you can do things like install your own certificates. You know via I.T. Policy and you know group installation. [TS]
00:02:37 ◼ ► and Say are you can take your laptop in here whatever you want browsing whatever you want. [TS]
00:02:40 ◼ ► And then be spying on that without their knowledge you know that's that's no good. [TS]
00:02:43 ◼ ► So I think this is actually of a perfectly fine balance I don't think we're going to cause trouble for schools [TS]
00:02:50 ◼ ► Yeah I mean and like the GO thing is doing schools could do something similar if you're basically you try to foist. [TS]
00:02:56 ◼ ► The certificate on the people who are on your net we're going to look if you want to be on our network. [TS]
00:03:04 ◼ ► I'm not quite sure what the state of filtering in an academic setting is the that I understand why it would be a thing [TS]
00:03:14 ◼ ► Basically impossible to stop what they're trying to stop as students are seeing things inappropriate [TS]
00:03:20 ◼ ► and what students trying to do is see an appropriate things. And if the students are one hundred percent going to win. [TS]
00:03:25 ◼ ► Yep like you cannot stop them. Right but I understand that it's like well just because we can't stop them. [TS]
00:03:30 ◼ ► Doesn't mean we shouldn't try because not trying so I don't know I don't know what the correct solution there is [TS]
00:03:35 ◼ ► but technically speaking as one of those situations where you're not going to win. Well plus. [TS]
00:03:43 ◼ ► By the time a lot of kids are old enough to start seeking out bad things on the Internet. [TS]
00:03:48 ◼ ► There's a pretty good chance these days they probably have their own smartphone. With a data plan. [TS]
00:03:53 ◼ ► Yep and Verizon all it's doing is tracking the putting in a tracker and all there is if you're. [TS]
00:03:59 ◼ ► It's funny guys bring up schools. Again because when Aaron first started teaching. [TS]
00:04:05 ◼ ► She wanted to be able to do something simple like look at G. Mail. When she was it working at the time it was filtered. [TS]
00:04:22 ◼ ► and so I vividly remember getting into a like several months long game of chicken. [TS]
00:04:28 ◼ ► Where I set up I think was like a Sox proxy on a little Linux server I had at the house. [TS]
00:04:33 ◼ ► And she was using after a while in the neck up locked and so then I moved the socks proxy [TS]
00:04:49 ◼ ► and that was around the time that that they started giving the teachers more privileges. [TS]
00:04:59 ◼ ► Well maybe it wasn't just me because I think her students were doing it too to John's point. [TS]
00:05:03 ◼ ► But the plane is kind mouse game for first several months trying to get Aaron access to not just regular things like G. [TS]
00:05:10 ◼ ► Mail these weren't nefarious things. But eventually it ended up that the overlords one. [TS]
00:05:21 ◼ ► Yeah I mean anyone who's ever worked with one of these content filters and try to get any work done. [TS]
00:05:27 ◼ ► Has usually aren't a problem like this where like a stance a bully it's a good idea to help keep you working [TS]
00:05:32 ◼ ► and keep you on track and there are situations where that work somewhere that has been successful [TS]
00:05:36 ◼ ► but there's also a lot of situations where like the filter is actually keeping people from. [TS]
00:05:42 ◼ ► Not only doing harmless things like checking their G. Mail every once in awhile a work. [TS]
00:05:48 ◼ ► Like if you have to be researching things on the internet for as part of your job or looking applying for a paper [TS]
00:05:55 ◼ ► It's there are so many situations where these content filters are actively harmful to what's trying to get done in the [TS]
00:06:04 ◼ ► It's absolutely true and in errands case there were a lot of You Tube videos that she would use during classes. [TS]
00:06:11 ◼ ► About all sorts of various and different things. Aaron was a high school biology teacher. [TS]
00:06:15 ◼ ► And she couldn't even do that for the longest time because You Tube was carte blanche filtered entirely. [TS]
00:06:22 ◼ ► And again you know over time the teachers got more access than she could do this again [TS]
00:06:29 ◼ ► It's not always about nefarious things it's not always about slacking off sometimes it's really justifiable use but [TS]
00:06:35 ◼ ► when the. The thing that's preventing you access is completely algorithmic and not like curated or whatever. [TS]
00:06:44 ◼ ► Yeah I mean You Tube is a massive resource for teachers like that cannot be overstated like You Tube is an incredible [TS]
00:06:54 ◼ ► I should sort of kind of apologize to Marco in that I lead you astray. Last episode. [TS]
00:07:02 ◼ ► With regard to your question about well could I just do my feet polar which will hopefully talk about a little bit [TS]
00:07:07 ◼ ► later. Could I just do that in C. Sharp and I said when a going after run all by S. [TS]
00:07:23 ◼ ► But anyway the upcoming or currently out I guess version of S.P. Down at they actually have. [TS]
00:07:28 ◼ ► I guess it's binary for all sorts different platforms. And so you wouldn't necessarily need to run the full stack on. [TS]
00:07:36 ◼ ► You know some D.P.S. Somewhere. And the other thing I didn't consider days you probably wouldn't need I-S. [TS]
00:07:41 ◼ ► Anyway you can. You could just write a console app that in turn reaches out to the Internet. [TS]
00:07:46 ◼ ► But if you're calling it locally or. You know via some some end point locally. You may not even need I-S. [TS]
00:07:57 ◼ ► Dot net developers that are listening my apologies to you for leading Marco astray [TS]
00:08:02 ◼ ► and Marco should you ever decide to give up on your beloved go feed crawl or sink or whatever guy. [TS]
00:08:11 ◼ ► Not see what you missed your chance this is your one window behind me to learn a new language once a decade [TS]
00:08:17 ◼ ► and this is this is your one window that you could have gotten me to try a Microsoft language note. [TS]
00:08:21 ◼ ► Not going to do it I know it's all over. I quit. It's all your fault. Don't think that. [TS]
00:08:29 ◼ ► but I stand by that if you ever for some whatever reason. How to chance to really learn C. [TS]
00:08:35 ◼ ► Sharp I really do you think you'd like it a lot but at this point I honestly don't know why. [TS]
00:08:39 ◼ ► Why you would try it like leave aside my own allegiances I don't think it makes sense for you at all but anyway. [TS]
00:08:45 ◼ ► You could have. If I hadn't failed you miserably. And that kind of segues into. You. [TS]
00:08:51 ◼ ► Why don't you tell us a quick update on your feed poll Are you a tweeted a day or two ago now that you. [TS]
00:08:57 ◼ ► Deployed to go feed polar this morning whatever that day was a few hours later I was able to confidently reduce the [TS]
00:09:08 ◼ ► Yep that's right and I think I can even get to go down to four but it be cutting it a little bit closer. [TS]
00:09:16 ◼ ► Last week I believe my status last week was I had written my ten lines of go code so I really didn't have anything [TS]
00:09:28 ◼ ► There's not much more to say I'm using it right now it is it is currently running on overcast it has replaced the [TS]
00:09:34 ◼ ► P.H.P. Feed crawler So it hasn't replaced all the P.H.P. Feed processing. It has only done like the front end stuff. [TS]
00:09:42 ◼ ► Of. Now P.H.P. Is no longer making network requests. So it's no longer waiting around for network requests. [TS]
00:09:49 ◼ ► With all this process of nothing to do whaling around for curls so that is all now on go. Go is now fetching the pages. [TS]
00:09:57 ◼ ► Every X. Seconds or whatever. And you know depending on certain conditions of hens and subscriber count. [TS]
00:10:02 ◼ ► Latest error in any way. Fetches fetches all the feeds. And then when it finds a changed feed. [TS]
00:10:09 ◼ ► It's stuff that feed into Read us. And a veggie P.H.P. Worker processes. Crawl that. [TS]
00:10:15 ◼ ► So before I said it was two hundred forty. P.H.P. Processes that were doing all the crawling. [TS]
00:10:25 ◼ ► And I probably don't even need those eight but I will see what happens there I bet I can get away with four [TS]
00:10:29 ◼ ► but I probably just leave it at a just to have some headroom if there's like a bunch of. If there's a burst of updates. [TS]
00:10:34 ◼ ► And that's roughly it so far. I like the language a lot now if neither of you two have done anything with it right. [TS]
00:10:41 ◼ ► I have not. Nope. So it does. I mean obviously I am not one to learn new languages frequently. [TS]
00:10:50 ◼ ► Looking at the landscape today the reason I chose go after after kind of running from note [TS]
00:10:55 ◼ ► and by the way we heard from a lot of people about node. Trying to fix. Fix my memory leak and. [TS]
00:11:10 ◼ ► or what you know what we're at whether you respond to a variable to all these little nuances. [TS]
00:11:14 ◼ ► I have no doubt that the right person could look at this code and fix it for me. But as I said last week. [TS]
00:11:22 ◼ ► You know no does it just doesn't fit me as well as as something I really want to want to invest a lot of time into it [TS]
00:11:30 ◼ ► is not good enough it for me and in other ways besides this way so I lost interest in trying to fix this problem. [TS]
00:11:36 ◼ ► Thank you know people I appreciate the week of your support. But please stop even when he correction. [TS]
00:11:43 ◼ ► Because I've already stopped using the language. I'm sure it's fine for you or Merlin but that's it. [TS]
00:11:49 ◼ ► Looking at everything else was available. I consider other things like you know Java Python. [TS]
00:11:54 ◼ ► I was going to do a speed internet until case you talked me out of it last week. It's not really true. [TS]
00:11:59 ◼ ► No not if I was it was never under consideration. It might become in the future you know Microsoft. [TS]
00:12:08 ◼ ► and trying to reach out to developers who are not right now Microsoft platforms I'm curious to see what they do in in [TS]
00:12:15 ◼ ► Because one thing that almost all these languages lack is a really nice idea for MAC and or for anything really. [TS]
00:12:24 ◼ ► I'm not entirely sure eclipse qualifies for that statement. No I've never used it. [TS]
00:12:29 ◼ ► But from what I've seen of other people using it it has never been in a never appeared as though I want to use it.. [TS]
00:12:37 ◼ ► I haven't used it in years so I'm admittedly talking a little bit out of turn but any exposure. [TS]
00:12:43 ◼ ► I've had to it in any exposure. I've had to it by way of other people talking about it. [TS]
00:12:53 ◼ ► I would like to have a nice ID You know like I have one for X. Code for my native applications. [TS]
00:13:00 ◼ ► I've never had one for web apps I have everywhere I have ever written has been written in like a text editor either vi [TS]
00:13:05 ◼ ► a first or Text Mate later. So I've never had a nice tidy with like code completion and. And you know. Inline error. [TS]
00:13:12 ◼ ► Description The never and never had that I would love that. Never had that. Never had the luxury of a real debugger. [TS]
00:13:21 ◼ ► And with all the new languages that I'm that I've been playing with her that I've been investigating. [TS]
00:13:28 ◼ ► So all that being said I might consider Microsoft off in the future depending on the direction they go with their tools. [TS]
00:13:36 ◼ ► But right now it is not an owners that aeration. I looked at rust. And I looked at go and I read up I didn't. [TS]
00:13:42 ◼ ► I didn't actually try writing any code in rust so you know that's a giant. Disclaimer at the beginning. [TS]
00:13:49 ◼ ► Those seem like the two that everyone said Orde with the third option of Python where everyone says heater do isn't [TS]
00:13:57 ◼ ► There's a lot of debate between Rush people and go people about which one is better. [TS]
00:14:24 ◼ ► It will clearly be a lot better in the future. But rust also seems very much. Very close to swift and C. [TS]
00:14:41 ◼ ► It just seemed like it added a quite a lot of complexity that I that conflicted with what I actually wanted. [TS]
00:14:49 ◼ ► I like the idea of the mutability being part of the language that's of that's a big one. I really. I would love that. [TS]
00:14:55 ◼ ► And I like some of the type tricks you can do. Most of them I wouldn't need. Go is a lot more basic. [TS]
00:15:14 ◼ ► I fall on the side of the way they did it is one of the reason the chose to move forward with that language. [TS]
00:15:19 ◼ ► Anyway so far. It is really nice. There's. There are parts about it that are weird. It is not like a clear. [TS]
00:15:40 ◼ ► I don't think there's any reason for me to rewrite the whole overcast what happened go. You know just. [TS]
00:15:44 ◼ ► I think I think it's a way for me to get rid of these hot spots. And it's about it. [TS]
00:15:48 ◼ ► But there's Or it's a there's a lot to like there I really like it I'm glad I'm trying it. [TS]
00:16:01 ◼ ► You know what he called sort of a vent Looper placement type thing. Yeah. It's entirely their routines and channels. [TS]
00:16:06 ◼ ► That's good I was best talking about like what the kind of event libraries where you go I knew they had some weird [TS]
00:16:10 ◼ ► concurrency thing but I can remember what it was off the top my head. But that's. I mean for a small language. [TS]
00:16:16 ◼ ► It's kind of a hog that was not odd but like it's this expresses the philosophy of go blind small. [TS]
00:16:23 ◼ ► but they determined that that concerns the stuff was important enough to actually add to a language that otherwise [TS]
00:16:30 ◼ ► being kept very small not says a lot about sort of the intended use of the language. [TS]
00:16:34 ◼ ► And why I think it's probably a good fit for you know Google doing server side stuff and for you doing the polar. [TS]
00:16:42 ◼ ► Somebody I stated earlier this is genius somebody else somebody point actually a number he pointed out on Twitter [TS]
00:16:52 ◼ ► Concurrent sequential processes I think some way that it's a concurrency model to go uses communicating sequential [TS]
00:16:57 ◼ ► processes that to thank you. Mitchy in the chat. So to me I like this model a lot it is not perfect. [TS]
00:17:04 ◼ ► It seems more complicated. Once you get into Iraq as though this is actually really nice. [TS]
00:17:14 ◼ ► and threading that you just don't need to really worry about. If you. If you do it the way you're supposed to do it. [TS]
00:17:25 ◼ ► And I for ever since the very beginning I had a limit on how many crawls can be running in parallel at any one time [TS]
00:17:35 ◼ ► Just you know earlier tonight I added a second limit to how many per per host you can be running at once why don't have [TS]
00:17:46 ◼ ► and got blocked immediately like two thousand connections open one looked at it. So that one out the window. [TS]
00:18:03 ◼ ► When he started push one onto it and when you and pop one off of it and here's the buffalo and that's it like it's. [TS]
00:18:07 ◼ ► It's really for doing stuff like that this. This concurrency model is really nice. It. [TS]
00:18:13 ◼ ► It is and what I like about it is that it is very new it is unlike any concurrency models I've worked with in the past. [TS]
00:18:20 ◼ ► And so it is intellectually stimulating it is educational. And for this task it's really good. So you seem pleased. [TS]
00:18:29 ◼ ► It is it is it does have weirdnesses to it like there are certain things about it I'm just like really. [TS]
00:18:47 ◼ ► Anything else on this or would you like to tell me about something cool. We're sponsored this week first by. [TS]
00:18:52 ◼ ► Casper Casper is an online retailer of premium mattresses for a fraction of the price. [TS]
00:18:58 ◼ ► The mattress industry has inherent we force consumers in the paying a Tory Asli high markups Kaspar of evolution as in [TS]
00:19:07 ◼ ► and passing the savings directly to you a Casper mattress provides resilience and long lasting support of comfort. [TS]
00:19:14 ◼ ► It's one of a kind it's a new kind of hybrid mattress. That combines premium latex foam with memory foam. [TS]
00:19:24 ◼ ► So mattresses that often cost well over fifteen hundred dollars caster mattresses cost of hundred five hundred for a [TS]
00:19:30 ◼ ► twin. Six hundred for a twin X.L. Seven fifty for full eight fifty for Queen. Nine fifty for King. [TS]
00:19:36 ◼ ► Those are amazing prices. I have bought high end mattresses before I can tell you that. [TS]
00:19:40 ◼ ► They generally cost about double that for anything reasonably great. And Casper is really good so Casper understands. [TS]
00:19:47 ◼ ► Buying a mattress online can have consumers wondering how this is possible. So it's completely. Risk free. [TS]
00:19:55 ◼ ► They deliver it to your house. They return it. They will take returned with a one hundred day period. [TS]
00:20:02 ◼ ► If you're going to lie and lie in a bed in the showroom for a few minutes at a mattress store. [TS]
00:20:06 ◼ ► It's really hard to tell whether it's right for you in fact the last mattress I bought for a guest room. [TS]
00:20:14 ◼ ► Of having it home and we tested it out to make sure it was good and we really know. [TS]
00:20:20 ◼ ► and it we regret having bought that mattress now because like we only try to for a few minutes in the showroom. [TS]
00:20:25 ◼ ► With Casper. They ship it to your door. You can try it for one hundred days. And if you don't like it. [TS]
00:20:31 ◼ ► They will arrange for delivery. Back to them. It's really quite good so. Casper is an obsessive engineered mattress. [TS]
00:20:43 ◼ ► Latex foam and memory foam are used together. For better nights and brighter days. Everything I said was risk free. [TS]
00:20:50 ◼ ► Try it for one hundred days. Free Delivery and painless returns. Casper's mattresses are made in America. [TS]
00:21:05 ◼ ► Those are fantastic compared to things like memory foam and high end spring mattresses. [TS]
00:21:09 ◼ ► You can get fifty bucks off a mattress purchased by visiting Casper dot com slash A.T.P. [TS]
00:21:14 ◼ ► That C A S P E R dot com slash A.T.P. and Use code. A.T.P. At checkout. Fifty bucks off. [TS]
00:21:21 ◼ ► Thanks a lot to Casper for sponsoring our show once again. So. Marketed anything happen this week. [TS]
00:21:26 ◼ ► Note that we really not talking about it because we don't have to we talk about it if you want to mean I don't know [TS]
00:21:32 ◼ ► that much more to say on it as so I wrote this blog post called Apple has lost a functional high ground. [TS]
00:21:39 ◼ ► A title I'm regretting. Because I actually of all the complaints people had about the piece. [TS]
00:21:53 ◼ ► Can you explain the title to me because that was the part that I was most confused on your post. [TS]
00:21:57 ◼ ► So the title was you know the Apple has lost the functional high ground so this is a play on the concept of the moral [TS]
00:22:02 ◼ ► high ground. I don't explain I do I know you don't display in the functional I got. So Apple stuff. [TS]
00:22:10 ◼ ► You know it used to be that Apple stuff. Generally by a pretty long shot worked better than P.C. Slash Android. [TS]
00:22:24 ◼ ► The phrase it just works as an article that was never one hundred percent true. But it was generally true it was. [TS]
00:22:32 ◼ ► It was the general advantage that Apple's stuff had over their competitors that. It was just work better. [TS]
00:22:37 ◼ ► The vast majority of the time. Certain things were more reliable. Simpler more robust cetera and. [TS]
00:22:47 ◼ ► What I consider of the functional high ground in the past of like Apple stuff just work better and. [TS]
00:22:53 ◼ ► And it worked so well that I think you could not necessarily hold it over P.C. People but the you knew. [TS]
00:23:21 ◼ ► And that's that's an argument Gruber has are going to fewer people brought up. I think you can lose. [TS]
00:23:27 ◼ ► Like if you know what the moral high ground. I think you can lose the moral high ground. [TS]
00:23:31 ◼ ► Even if no one else takes it from you like losing the moral high ground is like you used to be. [TS]
00:23:36 ◼ ► You know really good morally you have a really good image or have earlier petition and you don't anymore. [TS]
00:23:42 ◼ ► when I said losing the functional high ground what I meant was in that sense of like they used to have a greater petition [TS]
00:23:48 ◼ ► for this. And now they don't. So I think in that way I think the title was actually pretty fair. [TS]
00:23:56 ◼ ► Because I think I was was throwing me now hearing your explanation I think my conception of it kept focusing more on [TS]
00:24:01 ◼ ► the definition of functional maybe I would go with like reliability is not really over go on for it but anyway. [TS]
00:24:10 ◼ ► but down to do you explain that I understand what you're getting at that we can go on to the explaining the body of [TS]
00:24:19 ◼ ► Well but no that wasn't that was important because a lot of people argued about the title. [TS]
00:24:23 ◼ ► And I do think the title was not really the bad part. You know that the part that I regret. [TS]
00:24:30 ◼ ► Was the overall I'd maybe sensational maybe alarmist I don't know how to say it. So. So the post was basically saying. [TS]
00:24:44 ◼ ► You know I saw their hardware quality is fantastic recently with their software quality is really not. [TS]
00:24:49 ◼ ► And every July I said it's taken a nosedive. That was. That's the word I regret the most because that. [TS]
00:24:56 ◼ ► That kind of that that suggests the wrong. Excel or ation rate or trajectory of of the decline. Like. [TS]
00:25:12 ◼ ► You know precariously you know perceptively whatever the right word of a sudden rapidly tolerating drop. [TS]
00:25:22 ◼ ► And there's no signs of a turning around really definitely is a slow decline of their software quality [TS]
00:25:31 ◼ ► but I allot of it really just the software itself at the local software running on the on the on the machines which is [TS]
00:25:37 ◼ ► really unfortunate. And so you know a few of the words like I said. I said riddled with bugs. [TS]
00:25:51 ◼ ► But overall I stand by the the message that I was saying which is this stuff is not working as well as it used to it [TS]
00:26:02 ◼ ► And the fact is it used to be better and that worries me. My theory is that marketing priorities and again. [TS]
00:26:10 ◼ ► It's important to point out the a fine distinction here. Not the marketing department. [TS]
00:26:15 ◼ ► As some sites quoted as which I never said. Marketing priorities. At Apple. Seem to be dictating that the software. [TS]
00:26:24 ◼ ► Must keep pace with the annual hardware releases. Or that there must be an annual software release. [TS]
00:26:30 ◼ ► That has marketing value that helps the product with with cross marketing between different you know between the max [TS]
00:26:36 ◼ ► and new i Phones come out of also all these new all these new software he believes that go along with brand new i OS X. [TS]
00:26:43 ◼ ► and That was X. Meaning like energy or not not mispronouncing ten. With zero S. Ten. Anyway. [TS]
00:27:02 ◼ ► Like artificial and you will release schedule for major O.S.'s because that is just not. [TS]
00:27:07 ◼ ► It's not producing good quality software you know it used to be like the. The ten point. X. Point zero. Releases. [TS]
00:27:15 ◼ ► Although we have to like you know ten point X. Point three or four were sometimes on stable or at least had some bugs. [TS]
00:27:28 ◼ ► and then you know they were with some of the previous releases they would get all the way up to like you know Ted point [TS]
00:27:37 ◼ ► and so by the time like so there'd be a couple of months of instability at the beginning of a new US release. [TS]
00:27:45 ◼ ► It was rock stable fight the next eighteen months before there was really a new one. [TS]
00:27:56 ◼ ► Like every release that we're using from Apple because they're the major of nature moving so quickly [TS]
00:28:01 ◼ ► and get so many changes and each one. It's like. It's not like we're always using a beta. But it's close. It's. [TS]
00:28:15 ◼ ► and one of the errors I made was I didn't actually list any of those ways in this post but it's. [TS]
00:28:35 ◼ ► There isn't like a one thing you know if somebody. If somebody asked me like a what. [TS]
00:29:00 ◼ ► Or if they think the course they're on is OK. I remember when I talked about first of all. And I say. [TS]
00:29:11 ◼ ► Because we have all three of us talked about all these things for like what is it over a year now I can see you know it [TS]
00:29:18 ◼ ► is not as if this is a sudden realization the market woke up one day and said My God I mean. [TS]
00:29:22 ◼ ► But when Mark says it on the podcast or with him progress nobody here that boat gets written down [TS]
00:29:26 ◼ ► and you know it's part of his just like luck of the draw of like having to catch on and go viral or whatever [TS]
00:29:31 ◼ ► but it is interesting to me that like if someone as a regular listener to the show [TS]
00:29:39 ◼ ► And so it's not it's not like a revelation but then suddenly you know I think that's that's a thing. [TS]
00:29:43 ◼ ► I wasn't saying anything that I thought was particularly noteworthy like or original. [TS]
00:29:47 ◼ ► It was almost like like those kind of things like this goes two ways both of us do this day and. Well. [TS]
00:29:51 ◼ ► Back when I used to blog in cases like two ways where sometimes you know write something up on your site. [TS]
00:29:58 ◼ ► and sometimes we'll talk about something on the podcast then after the body guess you'll sort of write up a centrally a [TS]
00:30:18 ◼ ► Sometimes it comes or is in the pocket some kind sourcing of like well talk about the matter stuff later [TS]
00:30:25 ◼ ► One of the things that people read that reminded me that existed because I'm old Never again I was hyper critical I was [TS]
00:30:33 ◼ ► Region of pain which was back around the mountain lion talking about a mountain lion and maybe at the announcement [TS]
00:30:47 ◼ ► What my word on that show was is the always going to have enough time to mature because the point I was there always [TS]
00:30:53 ◼ ► crap. Right and then. Point one point two is like it takes a while to settle down. Right. [TS]
00:30:57 ◼ ► And if you're going to happen. They're going to happen every year. It does do yearly releases. Give the O.-S. [TS]
00:31:03 ◼ ► Enough time to settle down or are we always going to be in what I call the region of pain because it's always crap [TS]
00:31:09 ◼ ► when THE POINT all comes out like no matter how long they hold it like you just you know it's. [TS]
00:31:13 ◼ ► And is always some instability. Sometimes long sometimes short. That was in two thousand and twelve. [TS]
00:31:20 ◼ ► The beginning of two thousand and twelve. At this point. I would say that we know for zero S. Ten. That the O. S. [TS]
00:31:30 ◼ ► But what Marco's thing was talking about is. All right we exit the region of pain. [TS]
00:31:36 ◼ ► How long do we get in the nice part before it's not like they're run into each other it's not like it just bugs [TS]
00:31:42 ◼ ► or not because Mavericks was not just like a total disaster right before you know seventy came out at least for most [TS]
00:31:48 ◼ ► people I mean there are exceptions people that rise since I know this feature X. Never worked on Mavericks or my G.P. [TS]
00:31:55 ◼ ► That is true and that has always happened and that's unfortunate but for most people like Mavericks had settled down. [TS]
00:32:02 ◼ ► But how long did you get with the sell down Mavericks was it was it the majority of the year. Definitely not right. [TS]
00:32:08 ◼ ► Was it. Less than half a year with a one month to month right. And that I think. When I'm looking at this. [TS]
00:32:18 ◼ ► Not just the bugs we take the bug to going but also the change for T. As in even if everything works perfectly. [TS]
00:32:25 ◼ ► I don't know if I'm ready for everything to change how it works again like not everything [TS]
00:32:28 ◼ ► but you know people who don't want to tie a change like the change for to combine with the sure. [TS]
00:32:45 ◼ ► In the point releases or number of bugs enough on releases or severity of bugs or anything like that. [TS]
00:32:50 ◼ ► I think that more than anything. Characterizes the dissatisfaction I've heard from a lot of people about. [TS]
00:32:57 ◼ ► Apple is that. Especially on the Mac. I want to talk about Iowa separate but the mac. [TS]
00:33:02 ◼ ► Is different because on the mac I think the third thing that comes into the into this equation of change are to ignite [TS]
00:33:10 ◼ ► and at appears to belittle also the final question is Who are you chasing Who are you chasing with the Yearly Kos ten [TS]
00:33:16 ◼ ► updates like why you feel like. All right. Android Samsung. You've got people bring down your neck. [TS]
00:33:27 ◼ ► and that's that's the marketing parties that are there was talking about it for the macro it's like yearly releases. [TS]
00:33:35 ◼ ► Fine I think they prove they can pull off we can make yearly releases each ones have interesting features they [TS]
00:33:40 ◼ ► eventually settle down to civility like they can do it. But the cost is like a lease half the year. [TS]
00:33:49 ◼ ► That has a bunch of bugs then you get a period stability and as soon as everything's OK. [TS]
00:33:56 ◼ ► They're not they're not like I was tied to hardware like they just basically well you know Sammy's not ready we're to [TS]
00:34:01 ◼ ► shut that later like it's not like there's a yearly update of Macs of the trying to sync with you know so it's not it's [TS]
00:34:06 ◼ ► not exactly tied to that it's just that like. It's almost like a corporate stunts like not. Not like a you know. [TS]
00:34:16 ◼ ► Our organization is so well we can revise in release yearly updates to a massive you know consumer operating system. [TS]
00:34:23 ◼ ► Yes you can. And you can get it done. And during the course of its life it will settle down to stability. [TS]
00:34:30 ◼ ► But it still may be too much like it still may be like why why do you think we need a new one of these every single [TS]
00:34:34 ◼ ► year. We would prefer to have an entire year of boringness instead of four months of boring us. [TS]
00:34:41 ◼ ► and I wrote a small kind of response post to Marco's post which is mostly irrelevant except that a few people emailed [TS]
00:34:51 ◼ ► And I don't have the amount from me something on lines of Well it's really the yearly thing that's the problem. [TS]
00:35:00 ◼ ► In each release and I think that's a fair point that you could argue that you could. You could just put less. [TS]
00:35:06 ◼ ► In each of these releases but potentially keep this super aggressive yearly cycle but I don't just seems to me that. [TS]
00:35:15 ◼ ► That's not really the choice that Apple would make is just have like one marquee feature in the rest of the new S.P. [TS]
00:35:22 ◼ ► Otherwise on remarkable. And the other thing I'd like to point out is friend of the show Ben Thompson in the chat says. [TS]
00:35:29 ◼ ► The problem is that Apple needs to be rate faster on the cloud stuff and slower on the software [TS]
00:35:34 ◼ ► but by keeping them all linked together they're making both worst cloud is still too slow software is now too fast [TS]
00:35:39 ◼ ► and I think that's a really steep oint that we really could use a lot of help on the Services side although again we [TS]
00:35:45 ◼ ► definitely need some help on the desktop side as well. And just keeping keeping the desktop. [TS]
00:35:52 ◼ ► And the and the mobile operating systems inextricably linked like Apple is it just seems. [TS]
00:36:14 ◼ ► What happens for things like continuity that really are integrating. Both the desktop and the end I.O.'s. [TS]
00:36:23 ◼ ► Wouldn't she want them to happen simultaneously Now the comedy of this question is that I believe pieces of continuity [TS]
00:36:29 ◼ ► did not happen simultaneously in there ARE point releases to Yosemite to enable it but I don't like. [TS]
00:36:34 ◼ ► Doesn't it kind of make sense to have everything packaged together at the same moment in time. [TS]
00:36:39 ◼ ► Well for certain things yes but. Hey I don't think those things should really come up every year as you know. [TS]
00:36:46 ◼ ► Big things that require this massive cordon ation between all the O S's I don't think should [TS]
00:36:58 ◼ ► Would you drive a car that had really great features added to it every day but occasionally explode like. [TS]
00:37:05 ◼ ► There's certain things that just like are not worth it you know and what. What I think has has really shaken. [TS]
00:37:10 ◼ ► A lot of my faith and Apple software quality recently. Is is not like oh this button looks weird. [TS]
00:37:17 ◼ ► Every so often it's like basic stuff that I that I take for granted as like this always works. [TS]
00:37:24 ◼ ► Doesn't work anymore or works or radically like one of my biggest complaints with your Samedi is with networking. [TS]
00:37:31 ◼ ► Issues. Usually with network discovery of resources or connectivity to network resources to local network resources. [TS]
00:37:38 ◼ ► There's something about the way they revert discovery due to to enable continuity slash airdrop whatever whatever it is. [TS]
00:37:45 ◼ ► It has made it extremely unreliable for things like network shares network printers to fight that we would have made [TS]
00:37:56 ◼ ► You know every so often and or they had sixteen copies of the same computer on the network and like. [TS]
00:38:02 ◼ ► These are issues that we have on your Samedi every day that are widespread issues lots of people have these issues. [TS]
00:38:08 ◼ ► And it's like this is the basics. The basics are messed up now. You know the O.-S. Isn't crashing for most people like. [TS]
00:38:19 ◼ ► We are having a lot of weird little behaviors like that that just just things that seem basic similar to like [TS]
00:38:33 ◼ ► and whatever the cause of that was that there was a you know delivery issue where I don't I don't care what the cause [TS]
00:38:37 ◼ ► was the fact is like. You can't trust the basics anymore like that that I think is is scary and it. That's the kind of. [TS]
00:38:46 ◼ ► That's what I'm talking about I'm talking about Apple losing repeat Haitian from this is like. [TS]
00:38:52 ◼ ► You know nobody cares if things. You know don't quite look right or have some brand new feature. [TS]
00:39:05 ◼ ► but apparently the condition of health kit at launch was a complete disaster. I don't know if it sticks and then. [TS]
00:39:11 ◼ ► But it was like it was. It basically launch like not working at all if you didn't Apple. [TS]
00:39:17 ◼ ► I remember the head of just all the apps for it and hold and delay them anyway. Big disaster will help get. [TS]
00:39:28 ◼ ► If you break a fundamental things like if if a new thing you promised isn't quite here yet like the the mac Photos app [TS]
00:39:34 ◼ ► isn't here yet they promised. That's not that big of a deal. Like the stuff we've been using before. [TS]
00:39:39 ◼ ► Will continue to work for a while like it. We're not losing functionality by that being late. [TS]
00:39:50 ◼ ► and it took over like the way it the back hard drive like migrate player stuff over and you can't go back [TS]
00:39:54 ◼ ► and all of a sudden like every so often you just lose a random photo. Like if it was busting. [TS]
00:40:00 ◼ ► I can't mess with the basics and. The problem is that even the basics now. Get messed with on a high in a frequency. [TS]
00:40:16 ◼ ► and that's really that's unsettling in actually assessing I didn't talk about this [TS]
00:40:20 ◼ ► when I was discussing earlier I said a lot of people feel that the quality is decline but [TS]
00:40:29 ◼ ► I think it comes just from having a longer view and having lived through lots of different cycles [TS]
00:40:33 ◼ ► and having lived through. Times when it was way way worse. Like before I stand with you guys might not remember. [TS]
00:40:40 ◼ ► I don't really think that things are worse now than they had ever been or that there's actually been a decline [TS]
00:40:46 ◼ ► and not to say that I disagree with the sentiment of your post because I think it is a good senator. I you know. [TS]
00:40:51 ◼ ► I endorse the sentiment except for it like it doesn't hinge on this being a new low. It merely. [TS]
00:40:57 ◼ ► It merely hinges on the idea that you think the current situation is not acceptable which I agree with. [TS]
00:41:02 ◼ ► And it's not acceptable because the apple today is not the apple that it was before the context is different they have [TS]
00:41:14 ◼ ► There has been a decline in quality or any of the things you said about basic features not working it's like that [TS]
00:41:20 ◼ ► but I think it should change because the context in which Apple is running its business and deploying its products. [TS]
00:41:27 ◼ ► Is very different today and the one place where I would say things are slowly getting worse. [TS]
00:41:33 ◼ ► Overall I don't think they are because I got bills been doing better in lots of areas [TS]
00:41:36 ◼ ► but the one area where there are definite doing worse is as Apple again goes be a repeat of anyone's list of the show [TS]
00:41:42 ◼ ► for any length of time sort of a million times there we go again. As Apple products. [TS]
00:41:47 ◼ ► and more network functionality as that becomes a larger percentage of what you do with your phone with your with you [TS]
00:41:54 ◼ ► know it basically as i Cloud becomes more integrated as. As more of the network services. [TS]
00:42:05 ◼ ► and it's becoming a larger percentage of their product therefore it's dragging down the average. Because whatever. [TS]
00:42:13 ◼ ► Well now you know it's like it's they can classes bringing down the average of bed test grades right. [TS]
00:42:24 ◼ ► or like it the whole friggin thing is a lot of components of that cloud part doesn't work it doesn't matter how good to [TS]
00:42:33 ◼ ► and this is the type of thing they can get huge all Mike on the basics are anymore [TS]
00:42:35 ◼ ► and so for example earlier this week no I said my contacts aren't sinking anymore I had a contact on my new i Pad Air. [TS]
00:42:46 ◼ ► and everything without correctly all know say my cot account nothing has changed everything is all think that [TS]
00:42:53 ◼ ► and I'm so now looking at here on the i Pad change the street address. Here it as the i Phone in the mac. [TS]
00:42:59 ◼ ► It's not change and you just stare at me like why. Why is this a problem is the biggest owner of buggy clients offer. [TS]
00:43:04 ◼ ► Almost certainly not right. It's but then you perceive this as. All my god the basics aren't working anymore. [TS]
00:43:11 ◼ ► Because cloud functionality is now a basic it's something like you just expect I like my contacts are also going to [TS]
00:43:16 ◼ ► cause everything that's the bar now and. Apple has really bad at that part of doing its products. [TS]
00:43:24 ◼ ► but like what I've been doing that situation you know I did a little dense that everybody does you just like sign out [TS]
00:43:33 ◼ ► You know just to see if it's sinking you know it like delete all i Cloud a different account sign.. [TS]
00:43:38 ◼ ► Signed Bulliet of I caught in a delete a million photos from a shared photo stream so i Mac. [TS]
00:43:43 ◼ ► Turn it back on a much a grind for three hours loading those photos back in you know. [TS]
00:43:47 ◼ ► You'll eventually start singing again then you can. You know like it's just this dance that you do. [TS]
00:43:52 ◼ ► And that infuriates be able so that part of Apple's products I think is getting better. [TS]
00:44:00 ◼ ► and Apple has Apple's ability to do cloud East. Well if not you know up and going up. No question there services. [TS]
00:44:06 ◼ ► Still need work you know they've always that they've always been you know mediocre at that most of the service stuff [TS]
00:44:14 ◼ ► and I've been seeing over the last couple years actually aren't because of the services like. [TS]
00:44:22 ◼ ► but I think that's basically better than it has been in recent years resident worse. [TS]
00:44:27 ◼ ► Solve all the things you've complained about I think back to the disaster is that where the early versions of Tiger [TS]
00:44:31 ◼ ► or leopard unlike you don't know for not working that working you know from beach ball. [TS]
00:44:37 ◼ ► It was dire and I can just forget about classic megalithic that was a total mess in the later years of its life. So. [TS]
00:44:44 ◼ ► And a lot of the times. There. If you can fault them for one of things they've done in recent releases. [TS]
00:44:51 ◼ ► and I just saw Greyhawk American plan about this today is where they do a feature. [TS]
00:45:03 ◼ ► but that almost nobody is willing to accept the restack during needed to implement the features of one of the example [TS]
00:45:11 ◼ ► was like tags which detailed and whatever but did that come out and like a mountain lion [TS]
00:45:16 ◼ ► or something talk about the implication of tags and how is this crazy hack based on the label thing all the stuff like. [TS]
00:45:20 ◼ ► All right fine if you're not can use tags so what it does look like is a big deal. [TS]
00:45:24 ◼ ► It doesn't seem like it would impact anything it's like you're just piggybacking on existing crazy Echaveste plus [TS]
00:45:29 ◼ ► meditate and is all these weird bugs about it but if I don't use tax doesn't affect me right. [TS]
00:45:33 ◼ ► Well apparently the something having to do with network shares where it makes a tag queer. Request There. [TS]
00:45:37 ◼ ► Something and that hangs like it hangs the whole thing and you get a beach ball in the Finder [TS]
00:45:43 ◼ ► and don't care about tags are getting a worse experience in the Finder for a teacher [TS]
00:45:50 ◼ ► That's an engineering thing where you have to decide. It's OK to have new features. But we really have to balance. [TS]
00:45:59 ◼ ► and by the way now just every time I bring them that we're share we have to do this other thing [TS]
00:46:10 ◼ ► when you're planning the future for an ass you really have to talk about and say this is a great feature. [TS]
00:46:18 ◼ ► It's a good bullet point to add to the bottom not exist in box will do slides about it and and have a nice demo [TS]
00:46:25 ◼ ► Oh and by the way does this potentially compromise any basic functionality that everybody needs [TS]
00:46:30 ◼ ► and if the answer to that is yes really think real long and hard about the tradeoffs there. [TS]
00:46:38 ◼ ► Like a sort of potentially marketing driven decision that has led to sort of unacceptable instability [TS]
00:46:48 ◼ ► We want to add some minor feature but it means totally refactoring this. The subsystem. [TS]
00:46:52 ◼ ► And sometimes it's like oh that's bad because it's going to cause bugs BUT example of the good is like. [TS]
00:47:01 ◼ ► Desperately needed to be redone because for years that have been these icon services bugs the cause of all my company [TS]
00:47:07 ◼ ► pixilated and there was no way out of any just trying to purge and caches and restarting and eventually would go away [TS]
00:47:18 ◼ ► but the fix that we had to rewrite the entire icon services thing will eventually got it eventually got to get around [TS]
00:47:23 ◼ ► and I'm glad they did get around to it so I don't want to be afraid to do that until like three just like oh we can't [TS]
00:47:27 ◼ ► change anything we can't anything that we're you know Discovery Day. That would mean totally changing discovered. [TS]
00:47:39 ◼ ► Because discovery does the other jobs as well a compromise then you've got to be really careful by you make those [TS]
00:47:44 ◼ ► You know I'd like to go back a step though and in you were saying well it was much worse early on you know. In gosh. [TS]
00:47:57 ◼ ► Is that there's so many new mac users not even count myself in that category I mean I came to to the Macin two thousand [TS]

00:48:38 ◼ ► What I mean like sort of like you know. Curiosity excitement. Marriage honeymoon period. [TS]
00:48:45 ◼ ► I don't know you know you know me like that like they don't want to talk about a cycle was he a veteran for a long time [TS]
00:48:50 ◼ ► you've gone through that's like like seven times already and I think collectively. [TS]
00:48:54 ◼ ► Because like the mac used to be like this exclusive thing that now a lot of people had [TS]
00:48:58 ◼ ► and we all loved it it was great and then there was the honeymoon period and things started to get a gram [TS]
00:49:05 ◼ ► and then Windows ninety five game was like that was our hitting bottom you know it's like. [TS]

00:49:47 ◼ ► More than I'm dissatisfied like that I take everything that works I've taken for granted [TS]
00:49:53 ◼ ► Did Work starts and not work and I perceive that as a decline in quality and I'm angry [TS]
00:49:59 ◼ ► and they should be talked out of it I think in the context of this massive customer base they have now. [TS]
00:50:06 ◼ ► You know you can't rely on the honeymoon period you have to actually satisfy the customer that you have. [TS]
00:50:16 ◼ ► This is their responsibility to fix it so I'm not I'm not saying this as a defense of the company [TS]
00:50:21 ◼ ► and saying that he understands that absolutely do need to change it but from my view. [TS]
00:50:34 ◼ ► but I'm not convinced that empirically in anything that you can actually measure you could say that the quality really [TS]
00:50:41 ◼ ► And I may be just an academic point like us why haven't bothered blogging about this does not like I'll point I want to [TS]
00:50:45 ◼ ► argue because it does in the end it doesn't matter if it's worth all of mattresses. [TS]

01:18:24 ◼ ► Yeah that's fine. All right so what were the start from ninety five Mack is that right. [TS]
01:18:30 ◼ ► Yeah Markram got if it's true a pretty good scoop. About this the the alleged twelve inks Retina MacBook Air. [TS]
01:18:39 ◼ ► And there's been rumors about. Well then i Pad Pro and a twelve in fretting a math book air. [TS]
01:18:48 ◼ ► These are not two separate divided right yeah exactly. So you know. I guess I'll believe them for now. [TS]
01:18:57 ◼ ► I tweeted earlier on Twitter that I suspect that there's a good chance this is actually just one device that [TS]
01:19:09 ◼ ► That's not going to choose my words carefully. Speaking of the service. My sons I guessed. [TS]
01:19:23 ◼ ► Why do we have separate i Pad and a laptop service and I'll call you and I listen to his argument for the service. [TS]
01:19:42 ◼ ► My theory was that there were rumors about one device that was either a MacBook or. And i Pad. [TS]
01:19:49 ◼ ► But anyway regardless it sounds all the room people are insisting it's actually shooter from devices [TS]
01:19:52 ◼ ► and they know more than I do obviously I don't I haven't heard anything subform them. So. So anyway. [TS]
01:19:58 ◼ ► Supposedly is two devices fine. And this. This one in particular was the twelve inch. Retina MacBook Air. [TS]
01:20:04 ◼ ► And it makes a number of pretty substantial. If again. If this is correct. Which That's a big if I don't think we need. [TS]
01:20:14 ◼ ► and I think we can just discuss the rumor as in like. Is this something that Apple would make. [TS]
01:20:20 ◼ ► And if they did make it would you like it why not fair enough. I might like it so. My. My portable needs. [TS]
01:20:28 ◼ ► Have always been best served by a fifteen inch. However in recent times. I have. I have come to realize that. [TS]
01:20:37 ◼ ► I always think I will get a lot more work done when I'm traveling with my laptop. That I actually do. [TS]
01:20:43 ◼ ► I always think oh my laptop and I can maybe i can finally at this feature of the app. Even all be you know. [TS]
01:20:49 ◼ ► Offline most of the time or have limited connectivity or I'll be up state with D.S.L. [TS]
01:20:55 ◼ ► Connection that's like fermenting to seventy five. You know so I always think I'll get a lot of work done in practice. [TS]
01:21:01 ◼ ► I usually just do basic web and email stuff because I am waiting to get back to my. [TS]
01:21:09 ◼ ► So I might try it simply because I am due for a new laptop this year. And actually and the one. [TS]
01:21:19 ◼ ► So I currently have a first gen retina fifteen. So it is almost three years like two and a half years old now. [TS]
01:21:25 ◼ ► So this coming summer only three years old that. It's like I have no reason really to replace it. [TS]
01:21:30 ◼ ► Except that it does have a screen image or tension issues pretty badly now. And and. [TS]
01:21:40 ◼ ► I mean contention I don't really feel comfortable selling it to somebody so I figure I'll just give it to him he really [TS]
01:21:46 ◼ ► So I figure as soon as something new with Broadwell comes out that I want I will buy it and do the swap. [TS]
01:21:51 ◼ ► I there have been many occasions. Or I have been in some kind of travel. Situation usually flying. [TS]
01:22:01 ◼ ► And so I think I would use something the small the people who fly a lot always talk about the eleven in chair [TS]
01:22:07 ◼ ► and I've never liked the eleven inch because the screen is just so damn small on it like isn't it. It's isn't it. [TS]
01:22:15 ◼ ► Thirteen sixty six across that might not only the lower as. But it's also physically small like there's wasted. [TS]
01:22:25 ◼ ► and you couldn't you couldn't stretch though the screen to the edges Apparently not. Yeah exactly. [TS]
01:22:29 ◼ ► So anyway so this rumor thing looks really nice in that. It appears to have a dramatically reduced. [TS]
01:22:39 ◼ ► I'll never forget that distinctive looks I have you know plastic but thousand the front of them and. [TS]
01:22:54 ◼ ► and I'm a little worried about that because they haven't changed the size of the keyboard keys in a very long time. [TS]
01:22:59 ◼ ► Well hold on. Was that the keys were narrower or the borders between the keys were narrower. Well it doesn't matter. [TS]
01:23:05 ◼ ► Does the because in in the picture in the diagram again this is all could just be fancy stuff in a diagram. [TS]
01:23:17 ◼ ► but having a senator points in the same place the seem to be implying that the center points were in different places. [TS]
01:23:22 ◼ ► So the keys are actually closer together I am magine. If the spacing is as shown. If you are a crappy typist like me. [TS]
01:23:31 ◼ ► But it is it is a compromise that it's like if you made the thing an actress animator water would that have been a deal [TS]
01:23:38 ◼ ► breaker to have a standard keyboard like it's an interesting design tradeoff if true with. [TS]
01:23:52 ◼ ► It's a line in the sand where it's like previously was like nope full size keys everywhere. Spacing it for all we know. [TS]
01:23:58 ◼ ► but I'm assuming that the keyboard spacing has not changed in the modern era of Apple hardware and. [TS]
01:24:03 ◼ ► This would be a change. I don't I don't think I would notice it and I don't know you guys both touch typists. [TS]
01:24:22 ◼ ► and i Pad you like I was like official price keyboard it's crazy I can type on it right. [TS]
01:24:26 ◼ ► And that's an extreme with this spacing difference do you do you think you would feel it. [TS]
01:24:31 ◼ ► I don't think so I will say that the rare occasions that I used to Max many many years ago. [TS]
01:24:49 ◼ ► That threw me off on student Lee and I could barely type on a mac back then but that was a. [TS]
01:24:55 ◼ ► I would argue a much bigger difference I think if I just have to if I just have to get used to the keys being slightly [TS]
01:25:01 ◼ ► Or slightly close together I don't think that would make a very big difference at all now [TS]
01:25:08 ◼ ► It's more of a thing getting used to the Keys that they move like the fact the controls not in the corner this [TS]
01:25:13 ◼ ► when they move a skate better the corner and that would probably screw screw me up [TS]
01:25:17 ◼ ► or maybe script people who are like Emacs users or other people might have the escapee more than you might expect. [TS]
01:25:22 ◼ ► One exciting thing about this. This mock up of a keyboard here is that the left or right arrow keys are full size. [TS]
01:25:33 ◼ ► But now but I haven't break the won't break the border of the keyboard yet but this is a baby step isn't in fact. [TS]
01:25:38 ◼ ► Actually this maybe not be babies that this may be regression because it might have been driving him crazy to have half [TS]
01:25:43 ◼ ► and right keys because they broke the symmetry of every key kept being the same size except for the you know modifier [TS]
01:25:47 ◼ ► keys and stuff. So I don't know of any why I endorse that rumored change as well. So the big rumored change. [TS]
01:25:56 ◼ ► Which has all of us talking about this in particular is allegedly. All of the ports are gone. Except a headphone jack.. [TS]
01:26:05 ◼ ► And a U.S.B. Three type see the new reversible U.S.B. Connector including the power counter like so the the. [TS]
01:26:12 ◼ ► So if this is true. The power and all device connections except headphones. Will have to run through a single US be. [TS]
01:26:24 ◼ ► Is this technically possible to do right and from people who are been following the spec more closely than us. [TS]
01:26:31 ◼ ► Apparently the answer is yes the U.S.B. Types you connector. Has a lot of capability. [TS]
01:26:40 ◼ ► but the people are saying that it was designed to carry up to one hundred watts of power into the computer. [TS]
01:26:47 ◼ ► If necessary as well as be able to stream to kind of multiplex other device other port types. Over that physical plug. [TS]
01:26:56 ◼ ► And I can do displays as well. Yes exactly. So it does seem like it is possible. So the answer. [TS]
01:27:02 ◼ ► That's that I think I don't know if was emphasizing other darkly I mean they mention it here but like. [TS]
01:27:11 ◼ ► or minus maybe minor things about like well won't charges faster or you be limited in monitors [TS]
01:27:16 ◼ ► or will it compromise the speed of the boss. Technically from the specs it seems like yes this is a thing you could do. [TS]
01:27:31 ◼ ► Now if Apple did this and made this device regardless of whether we think they're going to or not. [TS]
01:27:35 ◼ ► Would you want to buy one would it change your opinion of like of your saying you might want to get this is nice it's [TS]
01:27:44 ◼ ► and would this change your your decision about getting one. Probably not simply because it wouldn't affect the way. [TS]
01:27:54 ◼ ► Like the with the way I use my laptop as a secondary and pretty occasional computer really. [TS]
01:28:01 ◼ ► That's not how most people use a laptop most people use a laptop as their only computer and are using it frequently [TS]
01:28:11 ◼ ► So for that kind of use again we will have to see this is all we could be totally wrong this port could be totally [TS]
01:28:17 ◼ ► And we might my peach be able to shut everything through it and have a little base station or adapter whatever. [TS]
01:28:23 ◼ ► I'm not willing to say that it would be totally awesome because like the The Big One is that they're saying mag safe is [TS]
01:28:28 ◼ ► gone to add a mag safe isn't just like go is just coming up with another port U.S.B. Connector to carry the power. [TS]
01:28:33 ◼ ► Why would you do it well the same reason magnet exists in the first place because you don't want to plug the goes [TS]
01:28:37 ◼ ► inside your computer to be the power cord to be able to power like. That's why magnet was invented we did that before. [TS]
01:28:43 ◼ ► Like we had laptops where there was a connector that went into there and we hope broke them off [TS]
01:28:47 ◼ ► and certain point you know not to say mag they've just perfect and mag safe too has been arguably regression. [TS]
01:28:59 ◼ ► Magnetic induction suction cup you look and thing over I don't know what they have to do. [TS]
01:29:03 ◼ ► But I don't want to go back to a world where people can trip over the power cord or a laptop [TS]
01:29:07 ◼ ► and so if this thing came out. It's not just that it has one port but if it didn't even have a power port. [TS]
01:29:12 ◼ ► This would make me strongly consider. Not only not buying it for myself with on real life. [TS]
01:29:21 ◼ ► and if they take it away in favor of this little U.S.B. Type C. Connector. I would have. [TS]
01:29:27 ◼ ► Basically have to see is the connector so tiny that it's practically a thousand lightning connector you know. [TS]
01:29:32 ◼ ► Is so tiny that it basically acts like Max that even that you can trip over a million times and it won't break off [TS]
01:29:37 ◼ ► and it won't yank your computer down just because it's so small like it's not like a big full size U.S.B. [TS]
01:29:41 ◼ ► Connector or is that really the issue that I think it's going to be and that. You know it's not as good as an X. [TS]
01:29:48 ◼ ► A And we're back to the old days. But what about the X. Box style. Midway through the cable break away from doing the X. [TS]
01:30:00 ◼ ► I mean that's like you know any big giant thing in the middle of your cable know what if it wasn't so big and giant [TS]
01:30:08 ◼ ► and you got to use the special cable the time in so let's get to the other compromises of having a single part of your [TS]
01:30:17 ◼ ► Why would you have just one of them less you're making some sort of philosophical statement like of their technical [TS]
01:30:21 ◼ ► reason why we think we'd have just one some people have argued power because the second part require power [TS]
01:30:27 ◼ ► but I don't know enough about the specs of the bars of the Coram line of processors might write. [TS]
01:30:36 ◼ ► That is a significant power drain it seems like in this mock up there's space on the side of it where you could put [TS]
01:30:41 ◼ ► another port. Well. It is teardrop shape still though. So it does paper into a into a narrow. [TS]
01:30:48 ◼ ► Or shape as you go down closer to the person sitting so there might not be as much room for more of them as you think I [TS]
01:30:57 ◼ ► I think this is all the stuff for shop job a bit surrender based on based on rumored information [TS]
01:31:06 ◼ ► but like in the aesthetic design if you don't want to sort of compromise that is there's the region that is [TS]
01:31:13 ◼ ► and that region is smaller than the with of the things so with wise is plenty of room [TS]
01:31:20 ◼ ► The very least you could do is you know one on one side and on the other or something like that [TS]
01:31:25 ◼ ► but two ports is so much better than one because two ports get is the average person the ability to do something [TS]
01:31:36 ◼ ► or octopus of cables that the snake out of the because it's like oh I have one thing plugged in [TS]
01:31:41 ◼ ► and I had to do some other things like I just had to put in the little thumb drive help them drive there have U.S.B. [TS]
01:31:52 ◼ ► I mean and you know and a lot of people of argued Yeah there's a lot of wireless mouse might have there [TS]
01:31:58 ◼ ► Donal's Yeah yeah exactly and but I mean just sit the simplest thing when like when I'm when I'm traveling somewhere. [TS]
01:32:04 ◼ ► I always have devices pulled into the U.S.B. Port on my laptop and usually it's charging eyeless devices. [TS]
01:32:13 ◼ ► So I mean if I just I just don't understand. I don't quite understand the thoughts offical statement that will be made. [TS]
01:32:20 ◼ ► I understand a false offical statement was made by only having U.S.P. Type seaports. And by having it be fanless. [TS]
01:32:26 ◼ ► Having used the Coram and like. I understand the statement of this machine. Right. But only having one of them. [TS]
01:32:45 ◼ ► Even if they went with like we're not going to run a screen because we can't because because we wanted to go with this [TS]
01:32:49 ◼ ► low power family his line I would even be OK with that just like that is wholly what this machine is about. [TS]
01:32:54 ◼ ► But nothing about having only one U.S.B. Cord again putting aside mag say nothing about only have one U.S.B. [TS]
01:33:04 ◼ ► or in any other way unless it was like we couldn't do two because of power constraints [TS]
01:33:12 ◼ ► What we think of the same chips at the might be in something like this and they aren't as a compromise. [TS]
01:33:20 ◼ ► and I hope it is a just a misunderstanding of the Hope it's all a big misunderstanding. [TS]
01:33:24 ◼ ► So I agree with you that I think throwing away mag safe. Is a very dubious choice. [TS]
01:33:31 ◼ ► But let's let's just assume that they make that choice and it really is what this render shows which is just one. [TS]
01:33:40 ◼ ► Which by the way I'm not entirely sure why they wouldn't use Lightning I guess because of all the power [TS]
01:33:44 ◼ ► and all the other things that this US P.C. Can do they need they need to carry a display over it right all that stuff. [TS]
01:33:57 ◼ ► I keep trying to think about and I haven't had the time to come up with a good answer. [TS]
01:34:01 ◼ ► But I keep trying to think about what. What has Apple done lately. That would enable this computer to exist. [TS]
01:34:10 ◼ ► So for example. Air drop between computers that. Hypothetically if it ever freaking works. [TS]
01:34:18 ◼ ► Hey Marco Have you ever talked about things not working anyway. You know if it ever works. [TS]
01:34:29 ◼ ► And that's just one very silly example let's take another you you guys mentioned Bluetooth. Specifically for mice. [TS]
01:34:35 ◼ ► You know I use a Bluetooth mouse. And so I don't need to plug in one of those little R.F. [TS]
01:34:41 ◼ ► Dongles although pretty much everyone at work. Does exactly that plug in and are often go. [TS]
01:34:46 ◼ ► So if you leave aside a secondary display which admittedly in a lot of context is very important. And if. [TS]
01:34:56 ◼ ► If you assume that we can do basic U.S.B. Key style things with air drop or equivalent. [TS]
01:35:08 ◼ ► but that's kind of hurt so it's really a rhetorical question what I'm driving at is if you think of this. [TS]
01:35:18 ◼ ► Then you do a complete traditional computer. What do you really need those ports for. I think it's more. [TS]
01:35:27 ◼ ► It's not so much like. What do you need them for like that you desperately want them it's that. Taking it away. [TS]
01:35:34 ◼ ► And there's lots of reasons we were gone through which may be true like you know it could be a power issue [TS]
01:35:40 ◼ ► and it's like well you know it is that that the smallness the fan lessness you know that the light is this machine is [TS]
01:35:47 ◼ ► the reasons why we couldn't make this machine the way it is that the point that would be a reason I don't think it's a [TS]
01:35:53 ◼ ► And the other could be some aesthetic or philosophical statement that you're making which I don't understand. [TS]
01:35:59 ◼ ► But it in the absence of any good reason to not have it. Like just put it on that because it's so can you know. [TS]
01:36:05 ◼ ► One is just it's just too few. Like why why just. Why not just have none at that point. [TS]
01:36:09 ◼ ► Right because not that you need to all the time of a lot of people do need to all the time. [TS]
01:36:14 ◼ ► But you want to have the one that you're using and the X. Your one for the for the other thing that you want to do you. [TS]
01:36:23 ◼ ► and everything is massively compromised by having to carry a satchel with you know a rat's nest of cables [TS]
01:36:32 ◼ ► But what do you plugging in that's what I don't understand but I rarely mention like U.S.B. [TS]
01:36:38 ◼ ► You know if you have an art Don Gonyea speaking you've got two ports felt. Just to do your work but but you've already. [TS]
01:36:43 ◼ ► You've already failed. By my point is if you're using an R.F. Dongle or if you're using a U.S.B. Key. [TS]
01:36:49 ◼ ► This is already not the computer for you but I mean I think those things are people be doing I have a portable mouse. [TS]
01:36:55 ◼ ► You know. And it has just about R.F. Down on it's not Bluetooth. Right. And I have a U.S.B. [TS]
01:37:00 ◼ ► Key and I want to use I'm outside of my work and part of my work involves taking as he was speaking from work [TS]
01:37:06 ◼ ► And I can't do that without plugging my mouse it's like well why am I even bothering to use a mouse [TS]
01:37:10 ◼ ► and never shall get a weird dongle adapter tighten like that is not a crazy scenario people who use use the laptop. [TS]
01:37:17 ◼ ► and to you know be the mouse is basically like that becomes like that port is taken all the time because I always use [TS]
01:37:22 ◼ ► the mouse event on my little tray table is not because I hate trackpad or something. And by. The way I have a U.S.B. [TS]
01:37:27 ◼ ► Key sometimes. It's already to port them you haven't done anything exotic like plugged in a portable hard drive or. [TS]
01:37:37 ◼ ► Unless you're saying is this can't be a person's primary mac which would definitely be a first for any laptop that [TS]
01:37:42 ◼ ► Apple has ever made they've always said you know there may be compromise for this but this can be your only mac. [TS]
01:37:47 ◼ ► Because you can get everything done that you want to get done and it without. It's beget he's nest in a hub. [TS]
01:37:56 ◼ ► That hurts the intended message of the machine as a tiny can be a little thing with not communion anymore [TS]
01:38:03 ◼ ► We se but I disagree I think what it is is that your to your viewing this against a traditional computer. [TS]
01:38:08 ◼ ► Which is the same problem I had when I first saw it. But the more I think about it the more I think this is really a. [TS]
01:38:17 ◼ ► when you define best as thinnest lightest etc Maybe this is even arm for all we know who knows. But one way or another. [TS]
01:38:25 ◼ ► All in on the fact that these are the compromises that you're going to have to deal with you're going to have to trade [TS]
01:38:31 ◼ ► in that R.F. Mouse for U.S.B. Mouse. I mean for a bluetooth mouse. But why did you why do you have to deal with that. [TS]
01:38:41 ◼ ► But why do I have to there needs to be a reason. Would it not. Could it not have been this then if it had two ports. [TS]
01:38:47 ◼ ► Like that's the question I want answered seems to me based on the smoke of the same product I mean that in the real [TS]
01:38:58 ◼ ► but it's the only analogy I can come back to is around the time that MAC started dropping optical drives. [TS]
01:39:11 ◼ ► and let me be clear the two max that I that I own both have optical drives when that happened [TS]
01:39:18 ◼ ► I thought they were out of their damn minds in the same way that I think a lot of people said that about floppy drives. [TS]
01:39:33 ◼ ► I haven't really used an optical drive in ages I can't even remember the last time of used it with that one exception. [TS]
01:39:39 ◼ ► So it really turns out that we don't really need. Optical drives anymore and I'm wondering that. [TS]
01:39:52 ◼ ► And you know what if you really want to stick with that or if mouse in your work and. If you really want to throw U.S.B. [TS]
01:39:58 ◼ ► Keys into your computer at work. Then you know what John you're right you're going to have to have that ugly ass U.S.B. [TS]
01:40:12 ◼ ► and batteries are great examples to support my point because all those things had a reason. Optical drive. [TS]
01:40:21 ◼ ► Look what you can see maybe not necessarily for the I'm makin because you could argue that it could hire out there a [TS]
01:40:29 ◼ ► when you get rid of that it was this giant that was taken up like a huge percentage of the case yes please get that out [TS]
01:40:35 ◼ ► of their floppy drives like nobody likes floppy drives us be cuter place them like the message of the I'm back was like [TS]
01:40:41 ◼ ► Stuff like that was a philosophical message expressed by sort of like the paring down of the variety of ports no more [TS]
01:40:48 ◼ ► like printer port and serial port all as I was like old fallen face gone new style here [TS]
01:40:53 ◼ ► but that in just include one of them right. When there's a reason you know the incorporated batteries again. [TS]
01:41:00 ◼ ► Making the university not having the battery door now doing all the stuff like you got something in exchange for [TS]
01:41:05 ◼ ► compromise in a lot of people are angry about those things I really wasn't because I saw what I was getting for it with [TS]
01:41:10 ◼ ► one part. I don't understand what I'm getting for it and that's my complaint about it in a moment. [TS]
01:41:17 ◼ ► Really what I'm what I'm thinking is what if this is as you said a philosophical statement that you shouldn't need [TS]
01:41:26 ◼ ► Oh that sounds kind of insane because even I think it sounds kind of insane all the why not put the euro. [TS]
01:41:32 ◼ ► Because you need some sort of charge so i Pad put zero on it and people are upset about that [TS]
01:41:36 ◼ ► and that was definitely a statement this is not a device that you're on Connect peripheral stuff. Yeah. [TS]
01:41:41 ◼ ► It's a fair it's a fair point I don't mark a word you come down on all this. You know if you think about one. [TS]
01:41:46 ◼ ► When the very first. Mac book Air came out and looked to have an eight was it was around two thousand and eight. [TS]
01:41:53 ◼ ► It had a lot of these limitations. A lot of imitation is that a net. No computer. Even by Apple had that point yet. [TS]
01:42:01 ◼ ► And it was. I mean I had one and it was it was pretty clunky they were it was pretty frustrating to use. [TS]
01:42:08 ◼ ► It had one U.S.B. Port. And one display and one headphone and one power. But you know display never use headphones. [TS]
01:42:16 ◼ ► So you base your had one U.S.B. Port and. That was so annoying. I hit the limitations on that constantly. [TS]
01:42:27 ◼ ► One of the biggest differences that wireless networking is a lot faster you know that I believe came with it to eleven. [TS]
01:42:31 ◼ ► G. And the port on it. Like I have one little why are you going to Donal's for it. But the porters only U.S.B. Two. [TS]
01:42:39 ◼ ► And that was the even song was only ten one hundred and. And of course the disk in it I didn't have the S.D. [TS]
01:42:50 ◼ ► and the disk I had heard the the one point eight inch hard drive was so incredibly slow. [TS]
01:42:56 ◼ ► And so like transferring files to and from it was excruciating. It took so long. Whether it was wired or wireless. [TS]
01:43:03 ◼ ► It barely even mattered. It would just took forever. And having only that one U.S.B. [TS]
01:43:08 ◼ ► Port even back then into those An even when I only had an i Phone when there were no i Pads yet. [TS]
01:43:13 ◼ ► And I wasn't like you know because these are YOU CAN ALSO LIKE IF you. If you have a camera. [TS]
01:43:17 ◼ ► Most cameras will charge over U.S.B. Now. So if there's so many devices have charged to rehearse be. [TS]
01:43:22 ◼ ► And this is before a lot of extra hard drives are very common I mean really these days. [TS]
01:43:30 ◼ ► And I just remember how incredibly frustrating that was back then there's a reason why the next generation of MacBook [TS]
01:43:38 ◼ ► Air added I believe that to ports right now I'm looking at one right now it has one of the left one of the right about [TS]
01:43:44 ◼ ► the most importantly the port does not double as the power connector on the manhunt fiercely so that's that's the [TS]
01:43:53 ◼ ► when it comes to like the reality of this thing it's like one port is one thing but one part that's also power. [TS]
01:43:58 ◼ ► I really need to be convinced that it is able to fill the role the bank safe does in terms of tripping over power cable. [TS]
01:44:03 ◼ ► You know so having owned that first air. It was increased risk. Limiting and frustrating in a lot of ways. [TS]
01:44:11 ◼ ► That being said it was amazing because of how incredibly thin and light it was for the time. [TS]
01:44:22 ◼ ► Once the the new one came out I think in two thousand and ten when they when they made the the university the good one. [TS]
01:44:29 ◼ ► When they revise it made and made the good one that we all know now is the mac book air that generation. [TS]
01:44:35 ◼ ► They fix a lot of it and one of the biggest in the fix was they all had S.S.D. If they were really fast and so anyway. [TS]
01:44:50 ◼ ► You know if we're going to overlook that we're going to tolerate it. But the first mac book air. To achieve that. [TS]
01:44:57 ◼ ► Wow factor and these couple areas that also probably shouldn't have been anybody's only computer. And so. [TS]
01:45:04 ◼ ► And so this isn't the first on they've done this. You know they they don't do it often. [TS]
01:45:07 ◼ ► But that this isn't the first time they've done it. They beat everybody with network air though. [TS]
01:45:15 ◼ ► or whatever was some some special ship made for them that meant they were the first one our it wasn't even so I think [TS]
01:45:20 ◼ ► it was literally a smaller package around the same chip whatever it was like they were they were able to come of the [TS]
01:45:25 ◼ ► machines other people than I was there was the first university which other people didn't have it was also. [TS]
01:45:30 ◼ ► You know the first laptop that you could make this ridiculously thin putting in the Ombudsman everything because they [TS]
01:45:34 ◼ ► had the special chip and all that. That's not the case with us as already. You know P.C. [TS]
01:45:38 ◼ ► Notebooks out that use the same chipsets that are available today that are not as elegant and everything [TS]
01:45:43 ◼ ► but there they are similarly reaping the same adventures that Apple is going to get here because there are the on the [TS]
01:45:50 ◼ ► or at least being reviewed because I've read reviews them on site so they don't quite have the same. [TS]
01:45:58 ◼ ► Or even I would say with the I'm activists point because this rumor design is a symbol of illusion of what they have [TS]
01:46:03 ◼ ► it's Than or it's lighter it's everything so and so forth but it's not going to be the first to market. [TS]
01:46:07 ◼ ► And I don't think they have a special. Maybe they have a special ships that in terms of the G.P.U. [TS]
01:46:13 ◼ ► and one on the screen which is another wild card as Marvel doesn't say anything about whether the rim of things will [TS]
01:46:20 ◼ ► I would not hold up the first mac book air as a model to be repeated because I think in the end that machine was not [TS]
01:46:27 ◼ ► but it was bad enough that real always be remembered as one of those machines like oh yeah I got one of those [TS]
01:46:33 ◼ ► but boy like ever wondered has their stories about like what the story's basically the next one that was the one that [TS]
01:46:39 ◼ ► No I mean and I think that I think that she was a failure like I would be harder on it having owned one. [TS]
01:46:44 ◼ ► I think it was a failure I really like that machine we had an extremely love hate relationship. [TS]
01:46:54 ◼ ► Number one being as his deeds are now very cheap and you know relatively speaking. That now S.D.S. [TS]
01:46:59 ◼ ► Can be in all of them so they can be fast and Wireless is faster so that alleviates lot of the I O. [TS]
01:47:08 ◼ ► If this machine Israel I think this could be good. One of my biggest concerns though is. [TS]
01:47:15 ◼ ► Once again it seems like there prioritizing thinness to an unnecessary degree. At the likely expense of battery life. [TS]
01:47:23 ◼ ► So looking at this machine. If these. If the you specs are even close to true. It is extremely thin. And it's. [TS]
01:47:36 ◼ ► Which means we're going to be very little room for much battery in there and if they go in for light weight again. [TS]
01:47:41 ◼ ► Not a lot of weight budget for battery either. So even if in with a very low power chip. [TS]
01:47:49 ◼ ► They might have got some space back because again in a fantasy machine is rumors they're saying that the trackpad is [TS]
01:47:57 ◼ ► but if it doesn't go down well it's like the stupid tactic like that all track that's how that we all turn off. [TS]
01:48:03 ◼ ► and Anyway whatever they're saying it seems like they're saying that narrow there may be a sliver of extra room under [TS]
01:48:07 ◼ ► the track that it wasn't there before because you don't need empty space for the trackpad to pivot down into where the [TS]
01:48:12 ◼ ► saying about the that about the truck to the keyboard I thought they might have been saying it about the keyboard. [TS]
01:48:16 ◼ ► No it's a the trackpad doesn't click down anymore like you like and presumably you just have to tap it. [TS]
01:48:21 ◼ ► I was wondering if it was pressure sensitive or something but I mean I'm mostly on bbs machine [TS]
01:48:27 ◼ ► but my two big things are mags A for an Omega safe and and. Give me a reason why there's not more than one port. [TS]
01:48:35 ◼ ► That's not a philosophical reason because I mean that's another thing I thought would be the benefit of the U.S.B. [TS]
01:48:43 ◼ ► You can now you can fit more of them like they're not monstrous things where it's like you could on the original air [TS]
01:48:47 ◼ ► they have it within like the fold down little things they couldn't even if it was on like Johnny's nice curve shape yet [TS]
01:48:52 ◼ ► a little like flap door that would flap open it was. And they get they got over that it's like. [TS]
01:49:01 ◼ ► It was a thing in the end it feels like you know it just like once they have technology to make a decent life [TS]
01:49:05 ◼ ► and not have them pop up they did it and so like you know. What else about this in the space gray. [TS]
01:49:10 ◼ ► Coming in color something on all of our But that. Yeah I would love a space great. Apple laptop in the BE AWESOME. [TS]
01:49:18 ◼ ► Overall I think it's going to be. It is really interesting. I think though. I am definitely concerned. [TS]
01:49:28 ◼ ► The port as much I am mostly concerned about battery life that they have prioritized than this too much. [TS]
01:49:35 ◼ ► And that there won't be very good battery life in this because you know just the listing eleven inch MacBook Air. [TS]
01:49:41 ◼ ► Does not have a battery life. It is much better on the thirteen and because I have more space for a battery. [TS]
01:49:46 ◼ ► I think that if the if you take this machine and you just don't give it a teardrop shape. [TS]
01:49:53 ◼ ► Just make it uniform thickness the way the retina. Thirteen to fifteen or even if it's dinner. [TS]
01:50:01 ◼ ► That leaves surprisingly large amount of volume for batteries in there and I hope they do that but I bet they won't. [TS]
01:50:07 ◼ ► You know. So I have a quick thought and then a question. A quick thought is. What if the brick. [TS]
01:50:13 ◼ ► That is plugging into this one U.S.B. Port. Has U.S.B. Ports on it doesn't help you because under your desk. [TS]
01:50:24 ◼ ► Stop right there let me stop your email right there. That's not have a people do though. [TS]
01:50:29 ◼ ► when you're in a hotel who knows where the plug is on your desk the plug is not always up like. It's a different place. [TS]
01:50:38 ◼ ► I mean it's possible now the other question I have is could this be the first our mac.. [TS]
01:50:43 ◼ ► So that's a good question I think if you look at the i Pad Air two C.P.U. The eight X. [TS]
01:50:50 ◼ ► And you look at the the benchmarks from the new family score am chips that that would be simply the chip to be used in [TS]
01:50:56 ◼ ► the thing. They're pretty close. Actually like they're they're similar in performance that. You know there are. [TS]
01:51:03 ◼ ► I think the UNTIL ONE The Until one is faster single threaded. But not by a massive amount. [TS]
01:51:10 ◼ ► The big question to me is why would they go armed so no question they could if they wanted to they could ship in our [TS]
01:51:19 ◼ ► And they could require developers to cross compile for the mac app store and everything. [TS]
01:51:23 ◼ ► Didn't choke point out it was like a merry today as well like. If there was going to be arm. [TS]
01:51:29 ◼ ► They would have to have something like the you know the Intel Developer Program where they shipped out like. [TS]
01:51:35 ◼ ► You know G five. Power my cases with Pentium four is inside them to let people. You know like any C.P.U. [TS]
01:51:41 ◼ ► Transition needs developers on board so that is the case you would expect that transition to proceed the release of the [TS]
01:51:47 ◼ ► machines in the scheduling. If this leak is and in any way real. And we and we expect this machine to see Year. [TS]
01:51:56 ◼ ► When are you going to tell developers by the way you're going to cross involve are merely crappy after the timing seems [TS]
01:52:01 ◼ ► wrong to me for that to be the case. But anyway go on with the feasibility. Yeah well I mean. But again like. [TS]
01:52:05 ◼ ► Well I think it will be less work this time because like you know developers are been dragged through one transition. [TS]
01:52:14 ◼ ► but in these days developers like by going through the first transition a lot developers move their code to more [TS]
01:52:19 ◼ ► portable code. And so they I think I think it will be a much less involved transition for developers and. I think the. [TS]
01:52:28 ◼ ► The days of Apple. Having some kind of prerelease developer hardware program. I think that's your car. [TS]
01:52:33 ◼ ► Pretty pretty far gone. And I think the way they would do this would be the same way when they when they have like. [TS]
01:52:39 ◼ ► You know new i Pad some of the same with going to the watch like didn't ship a watch to everyone for watching the going [TS]
01:52:52 ◼ ► But you have all that you have existing software the like in the case of those things you didn't like you have all [TS]
01:52:56 ◼ ► these existing mag out to you have to decide if you're going to like a fat binary thing [TS]
01:53:09 ◼ ► Still can't compete with the high end machines so it's very nice you're going to still have this giant to back progress [TS]
01:53:20 ◼ ► I think they can definitely make a machine with ARM Prosser The Doesn't it would be reasonably satisfactory [TS]
01:53:27 ◼ ► and strategic things don't quite get make sense to me I don't understand what they would come out on stage [TS]
01:53:34 ◼ ► Unless they try to say it because it can be super low power it's like it would be lower power. [TS]
01:53:42 ◼ ► You wouldn't suddenly get twenty four hour battery life where you where you were with with the. [TS]
01:53:47 ◼ ► Same Intel chip you have gotten. You know five or seven like. It's not going to be that big of a difference. [TS]
01:53:52 ◼ ► But I mean for me the biggest thing is I have no question they could do this I have no question they could give [TS]
01:54:08 ◼ ► My big thing is same thing as about the ports why. Because there would be a substantial cost to it in. [TS]
01:54:18 ◼ ► Couldn't run boot camp anymore and you couldn't virtualize windows anymore that's a big problem for a lot of people. [TS]
01:54:30 ◼ ► But you know maybe it could be your travel Makar maybe for a lot of us myself included who don't ever run Windows apps. [TS]
01:54:35 ◼ ► They can do it but there are certainly a lot of people need windows so that it would lose the support of all of them. [TS]
01:54:40 ◼ ► For the transition period however long it is before. Most of the apps are all the apps you use. Are compiled for arm. [TS]
01:54:47 ◼ ► How do you run Intel apps. Is there some kind of Rosetta layer because the problem is like when you went from Power P.C. [TS]
01:54:56 ◼ ► I like that you said we've been through one transition before and I know you've been there many. [TS]
01:55:00 ◼ ► Yes I know it but you're right I distrust your point every time there's been a transition. [TS]
01:55:04 ◼ ► There's been some kind of bandage like a. It's a clear transition. This is old that's new. [TS]
01:55:12 ◼ ► What's your story for the macro you're going to go over that crazy twelve Koran browser where is that anyway. [TS]
01:55:32 ◼ ► and possibly a little harder gives not forking out a meaningless until setting for you exactly. [TS]
01:55:43 ◼ ► or translation speed of an intel binary run arm laptop like that's that's going to suck. And be either. [TS]
01:55:50 ◼ ► Either not available at all or be pretty slow and probably unusable for a lot of people so I just I don't. [TS]
01:55:56 ◼ ► I don't see why it makes sense to have this be arm. As long as Intel chips can get close enough. [TS]
01:56:03 ◼ ► and I think the I think they with the core am I think we're seeing they pretty much can like not the arm and leg [TS]
01:56:14 ◼ ► There's no clear reason right now why they need to me that transition there's no there's no massive gain to be had on [TS]
01:56:21 ◼ ► Long term there might be and they might choose to make that transition at some other time. [TS]
01:56:30 ◼ ► but Apple's pretty sore with until right now because of the Broadwell delays have been delayed Apple's entire product line. [TS]
01:56:36 ◼ ► It's not so much of the store with them they just like the long term strategic advantage would be a good example on [TS]
01:56:40 ◼ ► and control of the major technology is the blood of all the blood like that whole thing that's why because they can [TS]
01:56:45 ◼ ► make that switch any time they want. I mean yeah yeah just are sometimes are like. If that like. [TS]
01:56:50 ◼ ► If they did if they CAN I was in our machine. I think the message would be that this may be a longer transition. [TS]
01:56:56 ◼ ► But it will be a transition and eventually every single piece of hardware Apple sells will have an ARM C.B. [TS]
01:57:01 ◼ ► You designed by Apple in fad by our rabble can get to fab for them like that would be the long term vision is like [TS]
01:57:07 ◼ ► short term who are going to suck for you because all for all there is a market is that it's not going to be able to [TS]
01:57:10 ◼ ► emulate your stuff it's not going to be a huge increase in performance in fact it might be a dip. [TS]
01:57:20 ◼ ► And that's a crappy message because you're like I don't care about Apple's long term strategy as some good products now. [TS]
01:57:26 ◼ ► And it's not like Apple needs to do this to save itself from destruction like well I understand you gotta do what you [TS]
01:57:31 ◼ ► gotta do Apple. I still I would still be like I was simply working with Intel. Working on Intel. [TS]
01:57:40 ◼ ► Maybe by Intel if you have to like whatever you got a lot of money. Work something out because. Switching to arm. [TS]
01:57:49 ◼ ► Would be short term as in like the next few years. Not so great for Apple's customers and. [TS]
01:57:55 ◼ ► Maybe this is not the best time to be doing that all right thanks a lot two or three sponsors this week. [TS]
01:58:11 ◼ ► They didn't even mean to be as it was accidental. It was accidental. John because it was that death was accidental. [TS]
01:58:42 ◼ ► Well it says so that's keep lists and the team article says the risk you need to hire an editor or something. [TS]
01:59:10 ◼ ► Weren't you an editor of Fortune editor for a while is that all that work. You can't be your own editor. [TS]
01:59:16 ◼ ► I know I'm just I was senator for like five minutes and you could be your own editor. You can. [TS]
