hi this is me and I'm talking to you
[TS]
00:00:02
◼
►
things are happening John sounds good
[TS]
00:00:04
◼
►
Marco the fact that you're asking me if
[TS]
00:00:06
◼
►
I'm still here is alarming but I'm just
[TS]
00:00:08
◼
►
going to keep talking until somebody
[TS]
00:00:09
◼
►
starts to interrupt me and talks over me
[TS]
00:00:11
◼
►
which is pretty much the story of this
[TS]
00:00:13
◼
►
entire show a serenity Caldwell friend
[TS]
00:00:17
◼
►
of the show has some iPad size
[TS]
00:00:19
◼
►
comparisons and so we'll put a few links
[TS]
00:00:21
◼
►
in the show notes I briefly earlier
[TS]
00:00:24
◼
►
tonight handled my friend Steve's iPad
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
and was playing with his 10.5 and it
[TS]
00:00:32
◼
►
again seems nice it doesn't really seem
[TS]
00:00:34
◼
►
any different in size in the hand than
[TS]
00:00:36
◼
►
the iPad I used to own the full size
[TS]
00:00:39
◼
►
iPad but Sorrenti has some thoughts and
[TS]
00:00:42
◼
►
some comparisons and things so I don't
[TS]
00:00:44
◼
►
know John you want to take us through
[TS]
00:00:45
◼
►
this I like the the diagram she
[TS]
00:00:48
◼
►
originally tweeted them one Dyess
[TS]
00:00:49
◼
►
presumably when she was writing the
[TS]
00:00:50
◼
►
article but those little like yellow
[TS]
00:00:52
◼
►
rectangle diagrams take a look at the
[TS]
00:00:54
◼
►
one that shows the iPad body size
[TS]
00:00:56
◼
►
comparison you got like the Mini is a
[TS]
00:00:59
◼
►
little thing up in the corner and then
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
the twelve point nine inch iPad pro is
[TS]
00:01:02
◼
►
the big thing the difference between the
[TS]
00:01:04
◼
►
nine point seven and that ten point five
[TS]
00:01:06
◼
►
is so tiny proportionally that's why
[TS]
00:01:10
◼
►
they feel almost the same because they
[TS]
00:01:11
◼
►
really almost are the same and if you
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
look at the screen difference between
[TS]
00:01:14
◼
►
nine point seven ten point five it's a
[TS]
00:01:16
◼
►
little more uniform where it's not like
[TS]
00:01:18
◼
►
a you know it's it's more substantial
[TS]
00:01:20
◼
►
looking so this is a great
[TS]
00:01:22
◼
►
representation of how they've managed to
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
put a bigger screen on an iPad that's
[TS]
00:01:27
◼
►
not that much bigger and why it doesn't
[TS]
00:01:28
◼
►
feel monstrous why it just feels like
[TS]
00:01:30
◼
►
you know if you give to a regular person
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
and they do aren't intimately familiar
[TS]
00:01:33
◼
►
with a nine point seven they might not
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
even notice the physical size of the
[TS]
00:01:36
◼
►
thing is bigger so I think that's a big
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
selling point of this device and if you
[TS]
00:01:40
◼
►
had any doubts take a look at these
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
diagrams they're pretty convincing
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
speaking of serenity Caldwell she also
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
has some information about typing to
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
Siri in iOS 11 so in iOS 11 when it
[TS]
00:01:53
◼
►
comes down the fall users will be able
[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
to turn on type to Siri in their
[TS]
00:01:57
◼
►
accessibility settings which will let
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
you write your commands to Siri rather
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
than shouting them into space which we
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
had known about but you know she has a
[TS]
00:02:04
◼
►
little bit more detail and I don't I
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
can't decide if this is going to be
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
awesome
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
or kind of redundant in useless it's
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
nice to have that
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
because sometimes either don't want to
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
speak out loud but you want to use the
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
functionality provided by Siri you know
[TS]
00:02:20
◼
►
even if it's just I don't know if this
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
is the case but imagine for example that
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
you routinely asked to set a timer or
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
reminder and a spoken way but you're not
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
you know you don't want to go through
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
the hassle of like launching the
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
reminders app and then typing that same
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
English sentence into the interval
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
reminder new reminder field what you can
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
do you can say like you know pick up
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
laundry at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow and the
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
reminder will like set itself to 4:00
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
p.m. tomorrow in the name of the thing
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
will they pick up laundry but if you
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
spend most of your time interacting with
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
Siri you may not know sort of the syntax
[TS]
00:02:54
◼
►
that is understandable by reminders and
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
I don't think it's exactly the same
[TS]
00:02:58
◼
►
syntax that Siri understands so it's
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
nice to be able to essentially type into
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
sort of a wone one-stop shop for all the
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
things that you can make your phone do
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
in a vaguely unattended way and not have
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
to say oh I'm in a place where I can't
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
speak out loud so rather than me trying
[TS]
00:03:13
◼
►
to whisper to Siri let me just type with
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
my thumbs the thing I know will work
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
with Siri in a nice quiet way because
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
like all sane people you have key clicks
[TS]
00:03:21
◼
►
turned off but I don't know how people
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
have key clicks on Ryan Jones made in an
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
interesting observation via Twitter he
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
said this is with regard to iOS 11 on
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
the iPhone you can lock an iPhone I
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
still haven't had a chance to play with
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
this I want to see this but anyway he
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
said you can lock an iPhone by pulling
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
down from the top and additionally
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
there's a software shutdown button in
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
settings this is still quoting Ryan very
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
fishy the power button may not be long
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
for this world
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
so Ryan's point is if you can lock your
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
phone rather than with the button on the
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
right hand side on most phones these
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
days but rather by just swiping down
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
from the top and if there's a software
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
shutdown button then what is the purpose
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
of that right-hand button anymore
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
obviously to turn it on but there's no
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
reason you couldn't use one of the other
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
buttons to do that so does that mean the
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
power button is going away in the future
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
and if so what are we going to do about
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
screenshots man I want my screenshots so
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
I have an alternative theory on this one
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
I'm thinking that you know that first of
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
all I really hope they don't get rid of
[TS]
00:04:27
◼
►
like button you know it it serves a very
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
useful purpose and while they might be
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
able to come out with software
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
workarounds I I like having that
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
physical button there to control that
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
very very useful function of sleeping
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
and waking the phone and if they get rid
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
of it I assume they'll have some kind of
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
like other way to sleep it or automatic
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
I don't know anyway
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
you know there's also like different
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
recovery things that this enables but
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
the biggest thing that I think this
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
might not be a big deal is maybe that
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
button is that is being added to
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
settings not because they're getting rid
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
of the power button but because they've
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
learned that a lot of people don't know
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
how to turn their phones off like the
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
way you turn your front of us to hold
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
this button down for a while how many
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
people know that I bet a lot of people
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
actually don't I wish fewer people know
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
knew it I'm having just taken a couple
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
plane flights and seeing people on a
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
plane both seated next to me and other
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
seats because you know see them walking
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
up down the aisle so to the bathroom or
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
peeking through the edge of the seats
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
when I see people who own iOS devices
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
who turn them off like off off shut down
[TS]
00:05:35
◼
►
completely when they're done using them
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
and then boot them back up when they
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
want to use them again multiple times
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
during the flight I want to pull just
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
just don't just don't do it just hit
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
like hit the power button or whatever
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
just put it back in your bag and when
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
you take it out later just hit any kind
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
of button on and it will come back on
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
instantly pick up where you left off and
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
it will be fine but people want some
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
people want to turn them off and you
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
know how long they take the boot it's
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
not a fast boot process it's that I
[TS]
00:06:02
◼
►
don't know maddening so I don't think
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
the I think you're right Marco the most
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
people don't know how to turn off their
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
phone I don't think people should you
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
know how to turn it like it's not it's
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
not a thing that they should be doing
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
routinely obviously if there's some kind
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
of troubleshooting you need to reboot it
[TS]
00:06:16
◼
►
or whatever look it up online or you
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
know you can figure it out or ask
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
somebody or worst case go to the Apple
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
store and they will show you but it
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
should not be routine part of
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
everybody's day so I don't want a way
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
for people to better know how to shut
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
down their phone that's not that that's
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
not a good idea right and additionally
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
Ryan noted that in iOS 11 there's a
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
setting to quote
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
offload endquote unused apps so there's
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
a screenshot offload unused apps and
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
then there's a on/off switch this will
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
automatically remove on use apps but
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
keep its documents and data reinstalling
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
the Apple place back that's an odd
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
phrasing reinstalling the Apple place
[TS]
00:06:56
◼
►
back your data if the app is still
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
available in the App Store which is very
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
interesting because a lot of us I'm sure
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
I'm included in that as well have a
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
whole bunch of ancient apps on our
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
phones that we think will need one day
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
but probably never will so in settings
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
and iTunes and App Store's in iOS 11 in
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
the beta there's offload unused apps
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
which is kind of cool and kind of
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
interesting there this is an interesting
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
problem that I think maybe Apple's
[TS]
00:07:24
◼
►
trying to solve like Gruber's been
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
blogging a little bit about this
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
recently about how like the size of apps
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
just the sheer size of apps is just
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
tremendous in the last couple of years
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
so many very common popular apps are
[TS]
00:07:37
◼
►
like well over a hundred Meg's and
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
that's and you know it's full of like
[TS]
00:07:42
◼
►
bloat from frameworks and various assets
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
and everything and Apple has tried to do
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
various things to reduce this you know
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
the the app thinning group of
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
initiatives and and various technologies
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
and things like that but ultimately if
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
you think about like how much collective
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
bandwidth and battery power are being
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
used by the App Store diligently auto
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
updating apps that people are not
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
actually using ever on their phones like
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
that it there's you can definitely a
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
good argument for why not only should
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
this feature exist but it might even
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
maybe it should even be defaulted to on
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
because there's just a tremendous amount
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
of data and battery being wasted to
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
update like 50 hundred mega apps that on
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
people's phones that are buried in some
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
folder somewhere they're never actually
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
using so it is an interesting problem I
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
do think it is wise for Apple to start
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
tackling this somehow but we'll have to
[TS]
00:08:43
◼
►
see I guess the implementation details
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
of how this is actually done just to
[TS]
00:08:46
◼
►
know whether this is the right solution
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
or not I don't think this should be on
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
by default because the idea that your
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
phone like rots
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
like the like a couple couple screens
[TS]
00:08:55

a nice copy and here's the thing that

someone someone's phone like fills up

and they go to the Apple Store like hey

to the usage screen in settings and see
[TS]
00:09:29

what's using most of your space and all

those things that I'm sure the Genius

00:09:33
◼

Bar people do all the time one possible
[TS]
00:09:37

solution I found reasonably nice that is
[TS]
00:09:40

not the same as this preference city
[TS]
00:09:42
◼

that you manually turn on or is on by

applications that you don't use and just

[TS]
00:09:47

them like these little booby traps that
[TS]
00:09:48

cause big downloads when you tap on them
[TS]
00:09:50
◼

is to do what slack does and say every
[TS]
00:09:53
◼

once in a while and I know this sounds
[TS]
00:09:54
◼

like nagging and Skype does this type of
[TS]
00:09:57
◼

thing all the time but I found it not to
[TS]
00:09:59
◼

be particularly annoying it says not a
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
fairly infrequent schedule hey I've
[TS]
00:10:04
◼

noticed these three apps that are this
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
big you haven't used them in six months
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
do you want to delete them and you'd say
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
no and you can say don't bother me about
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
this again or you can say yes and that
[TS]
00:10:15
◼
►
seems like do that like once a month
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
right and have that be a preference but
[TS]
00:10:20
◼
►
have it on by default or something I bet
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
people would go oh yeah I forgot I
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
installed that game delete or they'll
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
say you know as long as you have the
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
button that says no and never asked me
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
about this again it will never ask you
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
about that app again you know it's like
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
those four tons of stuff hey these
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
channels haven't had anyone talk to them
[TS]
00:10:36
◼
►
in a while do you want to keep them or
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
do you not want to keep them you know
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
like maybe this lack frequency is a
[TS]
00:10:41
◼
►
little bit more frequent I don't know
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
what their frequency is but I find that
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
a very useful you know if I was a
[TS]
00:10:47
◼

marketing person I would say it's an
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
intelligent assistant it uses machine
[TS]
00:10:51
◼

there but bottom line is it presents
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
options in an understandable way uh
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
without introducing any new mechanics
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
and in gaming parlance like the
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
mechanics are still you have apps you
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
know you can delete them right you have
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
you good
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
you can delete them every once in a
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
while the thing will ask you you have
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
useless do you want me to delete it as
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
opposed to let me introduce the concept
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
of offloading to you and now do you want
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
me to do that automatically in a way you
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
have no awareness of yes or no so that I
[TS]
00:11:21
◼
►
mean we'll say well I'll try it I will
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
probably turn on to because I have tons
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
of apps that I don't use that frequently
[TS]
00:11:26
◼
►
but I well maybe I won't turn on because
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
I don't want to like offload my
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
downloaded for the 24 hours they were up
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
illegal NES emulator apps that I've had
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
my phone for I don't want it to delete
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
that something and in typical Apple
[TS]
00:11:38
◼
►
fashion it's not as if I'll be able to
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
exclude those or anything so I guess I
[TS]
00:11:41
◼
►
probably won't turn this on yeah I mean
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
I think it makes a lot of sense for
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
people of which there are many who are
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
really short on space on their phone
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
pretty much all the time and this is you
[TS]
00:11:51
◼
►
know largely because Apple has for so
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
long sold phones with really small
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
storage sizes as the base model and I
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
think that's that's less of a problem
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
with the recent phones but there's still
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
a lot of those out there a lot of those
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
like 16 gig phones are still being used
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
and and so there's this is a big problem
[TS]
00:12:07
◼
►
for lots of people or people who for any
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
size phone their story just full of like
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
photos and videos and stuff and they
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
don't want to or can't pay for
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
additional iCloud storage and everything
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
so like like they need the space and so
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
you know I think I would venture that
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
venture gets that space management is a
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
really big very common problem for iOS
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
device owners so anything to reduce
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
space is a good thing especially in this
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
age where pretty much any app you
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
download is gonna be like 90 Meg's all
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
we have some observations from front of
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
the shows detron smith ipad multitasking
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
spaces persist after you reboot so they
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
can be permanent
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
which just heightens my desire to be
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
able to pin favorites
[TS]
00:12:52
◼
►
so apparently spaces are a thing and
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
there are persistent things so that you
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
can kind of set up your different you
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
know multitasking pains and whatnot for
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
different tasks and just swipe between
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
them as necessary not unlike what you
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
would do on the Mac yeah pinning
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
favorites like you know the fact that it
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
keeps track of what you did hey you put
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
messages on one side and like your text
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
editor on the other and you put slack on
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
one side and a web browser
[TS]
00:13:16
◼
►
the other and like it keeps those as
[TS]
00:13:18
◼
►
little spaces and it keeps them together
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
and it's good that it keeps track of
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
them if it really does because people
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
will like as I've said a million times
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
people want to arrange their working
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
environment in the way that suits them
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
but they will they will give up doing it
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
if they spend any amount of time
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
arranging and then that arrangement is
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
forgotten I've always you know you
[TS]
00:13:36
◼
►
springboard is the my modern example to
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
get people to understand spatial
[TS]
00:13:39
◼
►
interfaces if you picked up your phone
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
and all of a sudden all your icons in
[TS]
00:13:43
◼
►
springboard were randomly arranged and
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
everything was out of your folders and
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
all scrambled over hey you'd be pissed
[TS]
00:13:48
◼
►
and be up to three times you would stop
[TS]
00:13:49
◼
►
rearranging stuff in springboard you'd
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
be like why bother why do I bother
[TS]
00:13:52
◼
►
carefully making these screens because
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
next time I pick up my phone chances are
[TS]
00:13:56
◼
►
good that everything will just be
[TS]
00:13:57
◼
►
randomly shuffled right that's that's
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
how the finder is to me these days but
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
yet to get people to understand like why
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
do you care why do you care about your
[TS]
00:14:04
◼
►
screens you hear all these podcasts you
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
know cortex talks about it all the time
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
I think they talked about hello internet
[TS]
00:14:08
◼
►
we've talked about in here talked about
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
it on connected upgrade is there a tech
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
show that hasn't talked about hey how do
[TS]
00:14:14
◼
►
you arrange your homescreen the fact
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
that that is a discussion topic at all
[TS]
00:14:18
◼
►
is because you can arrange your home
[TS]
00:14:21
◼
►
screen you can arrange springboard and
[TS]
00:14:22
◼
►
you put things in a place and they stay
[TS]
00:14:25
◼
►
there and that's why it is the thing at
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
all so with with spaces having them
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
persist is great because that will let
[TS]
00:14:32
◼
►
people start to get kind of an
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
arrangement and being able to pin
[TS]
00:14:35
◼
►
favorites to say like I guess it sorts
[TS]
00:14:37
◼
►
them in like most recently used order or
[TS]
00:14:39
◼
►
something I don't know I haven't tried
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
it but I'm assuming it's some kind of
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
automatic order that says all right well
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
when you go back to that switcher the
[TS]
00:14:46
◼
►
last two or three spaces you used will
[TS]
00:14:48
◼
►
you know will be in the first two or
[TS]
00:14:51
◼
►
three positions someone so forth if you
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
could pin a small set of things to say
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
no matter what I do with my iPad these
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
spaces are always in this position that
[TS]
00:14:59
◼
►
would also I think help people's
[TS]
00:15:00
◼

workflows because they have kind of a
[TS]
00:15:02
◼

way of working and a set of applications
[TS]
00:15:05
◼

that they group together and they're
[TS]
00:15:06
◼

going to do other stuff they're going to
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
jump off does some other weird
[TS]
00:15:08
◼

application go over here over there but
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
when they come back to the switcher to
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
be able to know when you invoke the
[TS]
00:15:13
◼

switcher just just stab in this vision
[TS]
00:15:15

and it will always be your Safari

but as we've seen the personal computers
[TS]
00:15:28

just too many damn windows mostly
[TS]
00:15:30

they don't even though these spaces like

pretty darn computer nerdy develop any

kind of system with spaces just because
[TS]
00:15:42

it's so it's so difficult to do the same

thing to try to with an iPad to pin them

should be fullscreen and should have

this there that shut these three windows

in and it should never change if you if
[TS]
00:15:56

you can do that on the iPad if you make

00:15:57

more people be able to do that on the

Smith iOS 11 let's document pay based

apps pretty much present the filesystem

as their launch UI replacing all the
[TS]
00:16:12

galleries or grid views that everyone
[TS]
00:16:14

writes so this is kind of cool that you
[TS]
00:16:17
◼

can just use basically a file browser as
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
the thing you land on when you launch an
[TS]
00:16:22
◼

app and so that makes a lot of your
[TS]
00:16:24

redundant code that all these different
[TS]
00:16:26
◼

companies and people have written just
[TS]

go away which is really exciting and
[TS]
00:16:29

this is more embracing of the iPad
[TS]
00:16:33

having a file system I put this in here
[TS]
00:16:35

because I just immediately upon reading

this tweet imagined the very first
[TS]

application that tries to ship and do

this the App Store rejects it says sorry

00:16:44

you can't show the file picker does not

totally sound like an app store type

thing I mean he means technically

Apple view that shows you the file
[TS]

system and a lot of applications that
[TS]
00:16:54

make sense where it on Mac apps do it
[TS]
00:16:57

where you you've launched office apps do
[TS]
00:16:59

it and maybe in pages you launch and you
[TS]
00:17:01

get an open save dialog or you get well
[TS]
00:17:03

I guess someone do all those custom

templates and make a new go document or

applications that is a natural way to do
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
it and I think most of the best iOS
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
applications still we want to write
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
their own like procreate or whatever or
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
like Lamia however you pronounce the
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
name of the icon factory app they all
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
have kind of a view where it shows you
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
here's all your stuff and especially if
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
it's an image editing application to
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
show you little thumbnails and stuff
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
rather than showing you just a bunch of
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
file icons but if you really do have an
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
application that mostly deals with just
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
files that are not graphics files it
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
might make sense to launch into the
[TS]
00:17:38
◼
►
Apple provided picker at least maybe in
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
version one of your app before you until
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
you make the fancy version that shows
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
you a preview like the Google
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
zap shows you it's just a bunch of text
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
documents but it shows you a little
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
previews of them which is actually
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
surprisingly useful later I'm why I'm
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
watching this to see the first person
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
brave enough to ship an app like that to
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
see if they every Jake it's not going to
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
be a problem Apple like that they're
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
holding DC sessions about doing this
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
like they want people to do this it's
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
gonna be fine we'll see famous last
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
now if it's an NES emulator you have a
[TS]
00:18:05
◼
►
problem or do you remember way back when
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
when they were tethering apps like I
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
think I had yeah I Heather or something
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
like that and and I kept that because it
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
was on it was on the App Store for like
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
a week and it was basically like you
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
needed a a component on your Mac and you
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
needed the app on your phone and I kept
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
that thing on my phone for years because
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
I had the ATT unlimited plan and one of
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
the ways they tried to shimmy you off of
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
that plan was by never ever ever as far
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
as I knew anyway never allowing you to
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
tether so I had this like tether or I
[TS]
00:18:38
◼
►
tether or something like that that I
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
would use to be able to tether from time
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
to time and I remember I like had a
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
saved version of the Installer somewhere
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
on my hard drive so just in case the
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
Installer went away I would still have
[TS]
00:18:50
◼
►
it I had the app that I liked cherished
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
more I probably had a backup backup of
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
the IPA somewhere just to be safe I mean
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
I'd oh my god I remember that those were
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
the days and then there would be other
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
apps like a flashlight app that would L
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
by the way have a Sox server on it yeah
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
if you you know triple tap in the upper
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
1/3 of the screen while holding your
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
nose and bouncing on one foot you engage
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
a sock server yeah like two hours after
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
that was discovered it was off the store
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
uh moving on the Apple Design Awards the
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
a das they were a thing we which I think
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
we spoke about last time but it used to
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
be that what was at the Monday evening
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
of WDC the first night at WTC they would
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
have an event where the Apple Design
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
Awards would get would be given out and
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
it would be done in front of an audience
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
blah blah blah this this past year they
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
kind of did it quietly but people got to
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
schmooze with some of the execs which is
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
pretty cool well Zach kaan writes and
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
says it's worth noting that Apple gave
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
out a da's to indie alternatives to mail
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
notes and reminders but still won't let
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
you set any of them as a default which
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
was a pretty observant thing that that
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
Zach had noticed
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
yeah they're rewarding like oh these are
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
well-designed applications they may well
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
be but I always feel for people who try
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
to use the non default applications
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
because in each one of them there's some
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
aspect of it that is less privileged
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
than the Apple one like for mail
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
applications it's you know could be as
[TS]
00:20:11
◼
►
simple as like when I click on mail to
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
link my tab of mail to link on my phone
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
which application launches or when I
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
tell Siri remind me to bla bla bla where
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
does it put that reminder you know I
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
mean like and they're so close it's not
[TS]
00:20:23
◼
►
I don't even understand why Apple
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
clearly wants to encourage notes and
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
mail reminder applications like they're
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
a staple of the non game section of the
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
App Store Apple is not like you know
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
growling at them and saying why are
[TS]
00:20:37
◼
►
those people trying to compete with our
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
built-in applications they want to
[TS]
00:20:39
◼
►
encourage in here they are 88 winners
[TS]
00:20:41
◼
►
these are great examples of applications
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
that Apple apparently wants to encourage
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
let people use them as their default
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
right for all these in calendar notes
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
reminders mail they're so close and the
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
limitations are less than they used to
[TS]
00:20:54
◼
►
be it used to be much harder to use
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
alternate applications but like why not
[TS]
00:20:59
◼
►
go all away I'm every year we wait for
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
this some years there's more to look
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
forward to than others who don't talk
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
about it but because I don't think we
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
mentioned this year but I'm always
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
thinking about it hey when will I be
[TS]
00:21:09
◼
►
able to use alternate applications even
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
on the Mac back in the classic Mac OS
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
days there was an entire control panel
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
for you to set up this is the
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
application I want to use for mail this
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
is the one I want to use for instant
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
message or so on and so forth but that
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
kind of is still in Mac OS if you know
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
where to mess with things but it's not
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
prominent like some of the things are
[TS]
00:21:26
◼
►
hidden like you go to the Safari
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
preferences to pick your default browser
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
and chrome will constantly try to change
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
your default browser it's all weird you
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
wise to the same underlying data store
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
but it's clearly not as prominent as it
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
used to be at least power users can
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
figure it out on iOS a lot of times it's
[TS]
00:21:42
◼
►
just not possible I suppose unless you
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
jailbreak which is frustrating
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
especially we already talked about this
[TS]
00:21:47
◼
►
with you know Siri and the increased
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
number of intense it would be great they
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
made intense for all the things that you
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
can do with Siri for mail notes
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
reminders if those things don't already
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
exist I suppose they don't but certainly
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
you can't tell I mean Google's
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
applications do it when you know when
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
you'll tap a link in the Gmail app it
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
will throw a thing in your face it says
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
hey do you want to open this link in
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
in tint tint or Safari and there's a
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
little a little switch that says ask me
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
about this every time so I always just
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
hit Safari and hit the don't ask me
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
about this every time and then and be
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
done with it but public Apple can
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
implement as well and it's not not
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
rocket science so again maybe in a
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
couple years yeah and actually for the
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
record I'm pretty sure they did add
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
there they are adding it for notes and I
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
was living that's one of the two things
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
that they added I think but if I get
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
that wrong I'm sorry I'm still buried in
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
WC stuff because I learned that I have
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
to rewrite my entire audio engine you
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
mean we what the what he called the the
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
tent you mean isn't and I was loving not
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
that you can get your default
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
application yeah yeah yeah no yeah the
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
change in the defaults I can't imagine
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
that this will see I don't know that's
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
one of those things where you know every
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
every WDC that comes around we we get a
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
whole bunch of stuff that is you know no
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
big surprise and there's usually a
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
couple of things that we always say wow
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
we never thought Apple would do that and
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
so we we've been for years saying we're
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
pretty sure apples never gonna allow you
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
to change the default app for these
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
kinds of things but if one of these you
[TS]
00:23:17
◼
►
it could be one of those things you know
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
they could just do it and then we'd be
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
like oh look at that cool and we move on
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
you know the same thing with like
[TS]
00:23:23
◼
►
deleting the built-in apps like we never
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
thought they would do that either and
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
there's you know a little asterisk and
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
how they kind of sort of offer it now
[TS]
00:23:31
◼
►
what you start really deleting it and
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
things like that but like you know they
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
did it and they put the effort into that
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
to make that happen and so like you know
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
as as iOS gets more and more mature many
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
of the arguments against them offering
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
defaults like for instance one of the
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
arguments used to be like well things
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
like male there are places all over the
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
US where they have like built-in male
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
compose sheets and yeah that's true but
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
then they made extensions and they made
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
Siri intense and things like that which
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
kind of break down these barriers and
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
let anything plug in and kind of do
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
similar things so you know the the idea
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
of having custom integrations with
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
certain things like those are actually
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
slowly being removed in favor of things
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
like extensions and intents and and so
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
it would not surprise me if they decided
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
to actually let you change things like
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
your default mail app and your default
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
browser at some point in the future
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
still wouldn't say it's likely but the
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
the I think the technical foundation is
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
now there that they could do it if they
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
wanted to without massive weird side
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
effects I still don't think they will
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
but again with Apple you never really
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
know what you know you never say they'll
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
never do something well they're so close
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
now like you said with the extensions
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
and in each individual application just
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
take web browsers are no mail
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
applications for example is all they
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
would need to do for mail chain make a
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
preference in Safari that controls where
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
mail to links go to is that it like
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
what's left because you know there's
[TS]
00:24:55
◼
►
there's the extensions for like ad this
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
is a bookmark or I mean I suppose they
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
also have like tapping links in Safari
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
search and Siri search results or
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
something you know what I mean or do you
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
want me to open this web page and stuff
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
like that I don't know it's probably
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
we've throughout the system in more
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
places than I think but it always seems
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
like they're so close that like there's
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
no what what are they holding back for
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
now because extensions really did blow
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
it wild wide open and now almost all the
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
things that you would previously done
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
with a single default application now
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
you can pick from a list and you can
[TS]
00:25:27
◼

[TS]
00:28:17
◼

right speaking of photos a moment to go
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
let's talk about what is he for hafe I
[TS]
00:28:23
◼
►
always get it wrong the Apple people
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
have been seeing Heath Heath okay
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
alright so somebody in the show notes
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
I'm assuming John says that Heath is
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
good he is good he fizz like those are
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
my favorite sessions the the hefei TVC
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
sessions if you want to take a look at
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
some sessions technology stuff at WABC I
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
think these are some of the best ones
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
for a bunch of reasons so the first is
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
that he fizz good it is better than JPEG
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
it's better than ping it's better than
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
all the existing formats in terms in the
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
in terms of the things that Apple cares
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
about and that you should care about -
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
image size flexibility of the format
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
it's kind of it kind of reminds me of
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
like the various I'm gonna call them
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
pirate formats but like the mikoshi or
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
whatever MKV container thing like where
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
they just say here is a really super
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
generic container that can you know that
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
is flexible and straightforward and fits
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
a whole bunch of stuff in it and look at
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
all these things that it can do and we
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
don't pin it down with these arbitrary
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
limitations that you know make sense at
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
the time and one of the examples in the
[TS]
00:29:25
◼
►
thing was like whatever the maximum size
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
of a JPEG is I forget what it is but I'm
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
sure it seemed ridiculous
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
when JPEG was created and whatever
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
nineteen eighty or ninety something or
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
and yet here we are today and it's like
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
actually it's an actual limitation that
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
is problematic for JPEGs one of the
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
demos they had or not to spoil too much
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
one of the demos that of Heath was of a
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
panorama they zoomed in on and they just
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
kept zooming and zooming and zooming and
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
it was ridiculously large panoramas and
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
it was like is this is this some cool
[TS]
00:29:52
◼
►
new application like Google Earth that
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
just reloads new tiles and you know like
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►
totally custom UI no they were just
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
zooming a Heath image which itself
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
internally can use a tile based format
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
and it's resolution can be massive and
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
you literally couldn't do with JPEG like
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
it all was was an image view as far as I
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
could tell but you couldn't do with JPEG
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
cuz JPEG can't support an image that
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
size period right nevermind the
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
efficiency of being able to quickly read
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
and display just the portion that it's
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
on the screen with the whole tiling
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
stuff the pictures are smaller for the
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
same quality or better quality for
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
larger sizes and they can contain lots
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
of different things like it's almost
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
like he was made for live photos I bet
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
it was kind of the reverse but it's a
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
shame the live photos came before he but
[TS]
00:30:34
◼
►
hey you can store a series of photos
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
photos plus video at the same time but
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
you know smart dips between the frames
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
of the stuff in them is what I was
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
talking about in the end the live show
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
where I was speculating that perhaps
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
that every frame of a live photo stored
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
in a format is of equal quality that's
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
why you can pick among them reportedly
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
that's not the case we got at least one
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
report that if you pick the real photo
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
it is still like you know the still
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
photo is still higher quality than any
[TS]
00:30:58
◼
►
of the animation frames but maybe
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
animation frames are
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
higher quality than they were I suppose
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
it makes sense that if you had to shave
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
full quality for every single frame
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
you'd take up a lot of of memory because
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
those are actually pretty big maybe you
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
couldn't even dump them off the sense of
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
the fast but even if occurred you
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
probably wouldn't want them to because
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
it's kind of inefficient even with
[TS]
00:31:16
◼
►
interframe dips but anyway the reason
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
Heath and a GBC are big deals is because
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
aside from just being new formats and
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
better is this is like a foundational
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
technology like they didn't really
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
hammer on it too much but this is going
[TS]
00:31:32
◼
►
to last if you know if all goes well
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
this is going to last 10 15 20 years
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
it's going to define your experience on
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
iOS and Mac in terms of what are my
[TS]
00:31:42
◼
►
images what is my video made of how good
[TS]
00:31:45
◼
►
does it look and how much room does it
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
take it is so fundamental to every
[TS]
00:31:48
◼
►
single thing that we do especially with
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
cameras being as pervasive as they are
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
today that any kind of change in them is
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
like you don't change it for the hell of
[TS]
00:31:55
◼
►
it well this year we use them totally
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
different image format next year this
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
different image format no we pick an
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
image format we stick with it for a long
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
time and these formats are just better
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
that just better and this will this will
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
change all of our Computing's lives in
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
like boring ways and will continue to
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
change them for years and years news
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
like I don't I don't think this is like
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
a weird fad thing I really hope it
[TS]
00:32:16
◼
►
really does catch on and sweep across
[TS]
00:32:19
◼
►
the entire industry because I'm ready to
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
get rid of those old formats and change
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
to this new one like why why hold on to
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
a format that makes larger files that
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
are worse quality that has less
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
flexibility and is more difficult to
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
deal with so I encourage everyone to
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
look at these sessions I think this is
[TS]
00:32:33
◼
►
exactly the type of sort of underlying
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
core technology that certainly within
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
the app legal system and hopefully
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
within the ecosystem across the whole
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
industry because I hate it when Apple
[TS]
00:32:41
◼
►
does something better and no one else
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
copies it and again he Phan h-e-b CR not
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
Apple standards these are ISO standards
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
international standards Apple I don't
[TS]
00:32:49
◼
►
have apple at any influence at all in
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
making them who knows but either way
[TS]
00:32:51
◼
►
they're not Apple proprietary so I
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
really want the whole world to move to
[TS]
00:32:55
◼
►
this every time I think about the whole
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
world moving to it I think back on gif
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
and then I think we could we couldn't
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
even escape gift oh really oh no it
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
changed we're all going to change the
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
heap and a GB see how long did it take
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
to get transparent ping support in all
[TS]
00:33:08
◼
►
of our browsers I'm old I know but I my
[TS]
00:33:12
◼

fingers across for these standards all
[TS]
00:33:15
◼

let's see what else we've got going on I
[TS]
00:33:17
◼
►
didn't entirely understand this tweet
[TS]
00:33:20
◼

from not underscore David Smith from

00:33:23
◼

from Apple employee David Smith he'd
[TS]

said that 32-bits support is sunset in

00:33:31
◼

Mac OS this is a bigger deal than it
[TS]
00:33:32

seems i386 is the last fragile - table C
[TS]
00:33:36

- a bi non Swift supporting architecture
[TS]
00:33:40
◼

I understood bits and pieces of that can
[TS]
00:33:43

one of you translate for me what the
[TS]
00:33:46
◼

crap that actually means says it in the
[TS]
00:33:48
◼

notes right below it so the the fragile
[TS]
00:33:51
◼

Objective C API so the fragile busey API
[TS]
00:33:54
◼

is where well it's the non fragile one
[TS]
00:33:57
◼

is where it escapes the fragile Base
[TS]
00:33:58

Class problem which is basically if
[TS]
00:34:00

they've Apple ships a framework and they
[TS]
00:34:01

have a class and it has like fields name
[TS]
00:34:03
◼

and age in it right and people build
[TS]
00:34:04
◼

applications top of that framework and
[TS]
00:34:06

they ship them and then the next version
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
the operating system Apple wants to add
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
a hair color field to that same class
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
right the fragile base class problem is
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
like oh we can't add hair color field to
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
this class because a bunch of
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
applications are shipped that are
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
compiled against the old version that
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
just has name and age and so the only
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
way we can add a field because of the
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
fragile base class problem is all those
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
people need to recompile their
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
application against the new version of
[TS]
00:34:30
◼
►
the framework that is new field right
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
and so the app effects ists I think
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
maybe in the upgrade to a 64-bit runtime
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
and it's not a problem now but it is
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
still a problem in the 32-bit
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
objective-c
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
ABI so they didn't bother fixing it
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
there because you know backward
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
compatibility and also because I assume
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
they were moving away from 32-bit
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
eventually and now they are and so this
[TS]
00:34:54
◼
►
is that problem goes away entirely like
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
then everything that they have certainly
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
Swift and also well supposed eventually
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
they get a stable API but I'm sure I'm
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
assuming they will do the same thing
[TS]
00:35:04
◼
►
there and all the 64-bit objections II
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
don't have this problem so they're
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
leaving behind a limitation and also
[TS]
00:35:11
◼
►
32-bit doesn't support if switch to
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
64-bit only so that's another reason to
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
digit so yeah 32-bit Mac not long for
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
this world and someone asked me on
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
Twitter recently why do I care as a user
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
whether aside from a bunch of my
[TS]
00:35:27
◼
►
applications eventually breaking
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
what benefit is that is there to me as a
[TS]
00:35:30
◼
►
user for Apple ditching 32 bits for I
[TS]
00:35:33
◼
►
don't care if it's a problem for Apple
[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
and I have this fragile a you know base
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
glass problem and I can up update
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
frameworks blah blah who cares I'm not a
[TS]
00:35:40
◼
►
developer I'm just a user I don't want a
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
bunch of my applications to go away why
[TS]
00:35:43
◼
►
do I care
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
the main reason especially on phones is
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
once you load a 32-bit application that
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
loads 32-bit libraries those take up
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
memory and it's better to just have the
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
64-bit ones in memory instead of having
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
do you know you'd have seven 64-bit
[TS]
00:35:58
◼
►
applications all sharing a single you
[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
know shared memory instance of a library
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
and then you launch one 32-bit
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
application it has to bring in the
[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
32-bit version a library just for that
[TS]
00:36:06
◼
►
application so you know if your phone
[TS]
00:36:11
◼
►
will use less memory doing the same
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
things in theory and then the other one
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
is just in a simplification if Apple
[TS]
00:36:17
◼
►
does have to support this old runtime
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
they can you know it it's a simpler
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
operating system to not have to support
[TS]
00:36:22
◼
►
this old stuff and anytime you can
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
delete code and not include things and
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
just you know it simplifies everything
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
so and presumably that will make your
[TS]
00:36:29
◼
►
phone more stable and faster and your
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
applications more stable and faster and
[TS]
00:36:32
◼
►
the idea so the benefit to the user is
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
kind of esoteric and maybe not that
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
particularly visible but this is what we
[TS]
00:36:39
◼
►
call progress you can't support 32-bit
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
forever
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
more on high sierra the high sierra
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
format is the early logical file system
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
all of them were actually following up
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
on this use the Jogi ROM the joke that
[TS]
00:36:53
◼
►
John made during the live show joke was
[TS]
00:36:56
◼
►
a memory yeah the High Sierra being like
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
a cd-rom format name yeah just to say
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
that High Sierra is not a come to words
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
that have been combined just by Apple
[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
for the purpose of the operating system
[TS]
00:37:07
◼
►
that it is in fact a thing not just you
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
know that this this volume format
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
logical file system use for CD ROMs in
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
1985-1986 right they named it after high
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
sierra like they didn't also make up
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
that term so i'm just defending the high
[TS]
00:37:20
◼
►
sierra name put a link in the show notes
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
to the wikipedia article on the topic oh
[TS]
00:37:24
◼
►
that's really old yeah that's this is
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
before the ISO 9660 that's the one that
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
most CD ROMs were right remember the the
[TS]
00:37:32
◼
►
Mount Rainier packet writing standard
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
that was trying like four did you guys
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
ever get packet writing CDRs to actually
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
like work and not be a problem for
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
something yep I did
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
because I got like I got the super
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
expensive fancy one that I and said
[TS]
00:37:46
◼
►
would work and it really did you could
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
incrementally add dated cities it was
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
amazing technology that was like the the
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
whole thing in cd-rws
[TS]
00:37:55
◼
►
to how incredibly slow and unreliable
[TS]
00:37:57
◼
►
they were like there were so many
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
efforts put into trying to make CD
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
burners behave more like floppy so you
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
could just like write part of one and
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
then add some files to it later and then
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
maybe delete some files which wouldn't
[TS]
00:38:11
◼
►
actually really delete them but would
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
just like mark that block as deleted and
[TS]
00:38:15
◼
►
just add some more at the end and there
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
were all these different standards of
[TS]
00:38:18
◼
►
doing it and they tried to define like
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
industry standards to combine them all
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
and it was always a giant buggy mess and
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
maybe maybe there's one of those things
[TS]
00:38:27
◼
►
that like you Mac people John liked it
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
maybe it was perfect for you and it was
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
just crap on the PC side but I can tell
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
you one thing it was really crap on the
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
PC side and my first CD burner which was
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
a scuzzy 4 by 2 by 6 yep
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
from Yamaha which wasn't awesome we
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
might have had the same one probably
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
that was like it was so good at
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
everything else but you try to get any
[TS]
00:38:51
◼
►
of those packet writing things to work
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
and it's just like no other computer
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
could ever read them you were lucky if
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
your computer could read it tomorrow
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
like it's just terrible I was going to
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
say the reason he has problems using
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
crappy IDE cd-rom drives for using
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
scuzzy wants to and you know I was a
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
pretty reputable reputable vendor yeah
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
all of mine were obviously scuzzy and
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
get mine were super expensive top of the
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
line Yamaha things with fancy bank
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
applications I had pretty good luck with
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
it I did it all the time that was my
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
form of backups back before I had enough
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
money to have you know duplicate a hard
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
drive space hard drives are still quite
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
expensive back then no I mean see like
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
having the first CD burners it was
[TS]
00:39:32
◼
►
awesome like it was amazing to be able
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
to make your own mix CDs but like
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
everything that tried to make it more
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
like a floppy or a hard drive just
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
always sucked it so many problems before
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
we leave this topic I will say one of my
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
favorite pieces of esoteric optical disc
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
technology I ever owned was I had one of
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
the Kenwood Truex cd-rom drives that
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
read at 72 X
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
like by splitting the laser into seven
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
different beams and reading seven tracks
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
in parallel that's different sounds
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
super reliable and I'm sure was very
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
quiet when it's been seven - I know
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
because it because it was I think it was
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
only spinning at like 12 X and that's -
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
it was way better than like the than the
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
the the 52 X CD ROMs of the time that it
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
would sounded like a four-stage jet
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
engine that spin up once a room like a
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
really super loud light was waiting for
[TS]
00:40:23
◼
►
the dista apart like a wheel that's
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
going to which they occasionally did and
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
I always I was always kind of surprised
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
with the 52 X cd-rom this has that
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
sounded so crazy it was kind of
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
surprising how few discs shattered
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
inside like they actually worked most of
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
the time and they really shouldn't have
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
I was got nervous putting the sticky
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
labels never do that the sticky labels
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
know oh yeah oh yeah you had to put them
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
on perfectly because it's like having an
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
unbalanced tire yeah get in their way
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
but I remember all of that I remember
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
when we had one of our earlier pcs that
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
had an external cd-rom drive that was it
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
had like a little tray or cartridge that
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
you would put the CD in a caddy
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
yes I could be the word I knew wasn't
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
cartridge but I can think of the right
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
we had had a CD caddy I remember that I
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
remember getting the CD burner early on
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
this was high school for me and I
[TS]
00:41:14
◼
►
remember I was very popular amongst high
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
school kids because I could like make a
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
mix CD just like you said I also
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
remember and Marco you particularly will
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
appreciate this I got into briefly got
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
into trading tapes in the Dave Matthews
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
Band taping community because Dave
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
Matthews fan band as we all agree is a
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
jam band and so I my first couple of
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
trades what I had done was I had said
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
hey send me cassettes of what you've got
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
and since I have nothing to trade I have
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
no concerts of my own I will digitize
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
them put them on CD and send them back
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
to you and that's how I scored my first
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
couple of concerts and these were
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
concerts that I had been at and these
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
concerts were very different from each
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
other because as we said Dave Matthews
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
Band is a jam band anyway we should move
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
on and talk about a PFS a PFS is good as
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
as it turns out and uh yeah apparently
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
and you know I know John you don't have
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
many words to say about this so Marco
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
would you like to take over
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
yeah sure it's a file system and it's
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
new and it's not HFS+ and so therefore
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
it's good let's move on moving on
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
seriously did we did I talk about all
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►
these things on a passion already I
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
don't think you did I'm not a hundred
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
percent sure but I don't think you did I
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
I'm not done I'm Brett in a rare case of
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
me not finishing the previous episode I
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
have like 40 minutes left on last week's
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
episode because we're recording this
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
early slacker ah did I talk about all
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
the surrounding just it's you know it's
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
fine the people love you John if they
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
want they can skip to the next chapter
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
that's what it's there for I will add a
[TS]
00:42:46
◼
►
caveat I may have talked about all of
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
everything I'm about to say in a past
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
episode if I did I apologize but just
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
pretend I'm like a teacher and telling
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
you things multiple times to make you
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
retain any more
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
so maybe FS AP of s is good I learned

some things about it in the AP FS
[TS]
00:43:02
◼
►
session that I may have talked about
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
last week it will convert your encrypted
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
drive so if you have five volt on you
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
don't have to worry about oh it won't be
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
able to convert by thing because it
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
understands the file vault encryption
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
and it will do all the things it has to
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
do so you won't lose any data and you
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
won't lose any encryption it will
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
convert your fusion drives and when it
[TS]
00:43:20
◼
►
converts them it will improve your
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
fusion drives because a BFS unlike a
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
char s plus will guarantee that the
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
metadata all stays on the SSD like
[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
that's where it writes the new AP FS
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
meta did and it keeps it all there so
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
aside from the fusion drive saying you
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
know moving the actual data like oh the
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
files you access frequently will move to
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
the fat storage and leave the file as
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
you access less frequently on a slow
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
storage yeah that's how fusion drive
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
works AP of s will make sure that all
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
the metadata all the information about
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
the files all the file names their sizes
[TS]
00:43:47
◼
►
their dates where all the little data
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
blocks are all that will stay on the SSD
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
always put them like things a lot faster
[TS]
00:43:53
◼
►
because reading metadata is you know
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
involves a lot of seeks and a lot of
[TS]
00:43:57
◼
►
small reads and it's great to have them
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
on the SSD disk utility the new version
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
of Disk Utility which I don't know if it
[TS]
00:44:04
◼
►
has a resizable window and resizable
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►
columns yet I haven't checked but that
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
would be a great feature
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
anyway it will convert your volumes so
[TS]
00:44:10
◼
►
you can open Disk Utility and point at
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
any age of s plus disk and say please
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
change this to a BFS it will not
[TS]
00:44:15
◼
►
currently make them bootable I'm
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
assuming they're going to fix that if
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
you want to make it bootable you have to
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
run the installer the the high sierra
[TS]
00:44:21
◼
►
installer
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
I could put it again I'm assuming that
[TS]
00:44:23
◼
►
will be fixed Mobile Time Machine a
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
thing that most people don't know exists
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
but does I think it still only runs on
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
laptops like it if you're on your Mac
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
laptop and you're not connected through
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
a time capsule wirelessly or any other
[TS]
00:44:36
◼
►
time machine interface like you know is
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
you have time machine on but as far as
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
you could tell like your backup drives
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
are not you're not communicating with
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
your backup drives like say you're on an
[TS]
00:44:45
◼
►
airplane or something you're editing a
[TS]
00:44:46
◼
►
document many years ago Apple added a
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
thing but still backs up using time
[TS]
00:44:52
◼
►
machine to your own disk it's not going
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
to protect you if your hard drive dies
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
because you're backing up your disk to
[TS]
00:44:59
◼
►
your disk but it supposed to save you
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
like if you're editing something and
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
then a while later you accidentally
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
delete it and you're like oh I want that
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
back I'm on a plane it was my important
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
presentation
[TS]
00:45:08
◼
►
well mobile Time Machine had been in the
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
background making copies of your stuff
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
to this other location on your disk and
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
you can invoke time machine on an
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
airplane with no Wi-Fi and get back old
[TS]
00:45:18
◼
►
versions of your documents there are
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
some caveats to that which we'll get to
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
in a second but the AP FS story here is
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
that because abs has constant time
[TS]
00:45:27
◼
►
snapshots where they can take a
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
consistent snapshot of your disk in a
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
small and fixed amount of time like it
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
doesn't depend on how much has changed
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
since the last time writing like that it
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
is just mark this as a consistent state
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
and and it takes space on your desk
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
obviously and retain that but it can do
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
it very quickly and very efficiently
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
which means the previous implementation
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
of mobile Time Machine which is fairly
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
intense like it was a mounting a virtual
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
file system in the secret corner of your
[TS]
00:45:59
◼
►
drive and then writing to it as if it
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
was another volume but it's not like it
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
was really weird involving hidden
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
directories and fakery making it look
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
like you have a second volume inside
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
your first volume and it would have to
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
like crawl over all your files and find
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
the ones that have changed and make
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
copies of them to this virtual file
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
system very very slow whereas the AP FS
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
1 is just snapshot as literal they're a
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
couple seconds doesn't matter how much
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
stuff you've done since last time you
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
did that the snapshot itself it takes
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
constant time you can do it yourself
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
with a command line TM you till the time
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
machine your command line utility which
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
is useful by the way on any Mac if
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
you've never
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
just type man TM util to see all these
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
everything's you can delete old backups
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
and mess with your backups and you know
[TS]
00:46:39
◼
►
screw yourself if you're not careful but
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
anyway it's it's a neat utility new
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
command TM util space snapshot will take
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
a snapshot you can if you have high CR
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
betta run it now you'll be amazed at how
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
quickly it runs the thing that bothers
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
me about mobile time machine and I can
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
understand why apples doing this but
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
it's still a little bit of a bother is
[TS]
00:46:56
◼
►
it runs hourly and so for you like
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
working on a presentation and you hose
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
it in some way you want the backup you
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
can get the one from an hour ago but if
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
you just created this thing within the
[TS]
00:47:06
◼
►
current hour there are no backups of it
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
it's like oh how are that's not good
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
wine shake you know I wish I wish I had
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
backups every 5 minutes or 10 minutes
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
well remember all these snapshots take
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
up space because it basically says
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
everything that's on your disk right now
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
save it and so if you delete a bunch of
[TS]
00:47:22
◼
►
files they're still taking up space in
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
the snapshot right so I understand why
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
they don't want to do like a snapshot
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
every five minutes cuz you fill your
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
disk with snapshots even if they trim
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
them off the end so hourly is probably a
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
reasonable compromise but you know the I
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
mentioned TM you tell snapshot is like
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
well if you're paranoid you can set up a
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
cron job that runs TM util snapshot
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
every five minutes while you're on the
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
flight and you'll be saved that pain
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
just remember to turn off later that was
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
going to fill your disk but the
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
important thing is those snapshots
[TS]
00:47:50
◼
►
happen really really quickly and it's
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
got to be way more reliable and
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
efficient than all the weird stuff that
[TS]
00:47:57
◼
►
was going on before so this is a nice
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
upgrade for mobile time machine we
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
mentioned a couple shows ago hey when
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
will Apple release the version of Mac OS
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
that uses a us to make Time Machine
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
better this isn't that because it's only
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
for local backups but I assume in a
[TS]
00:48:12
◼
►
future version of the Mac operating
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
system assuming Apple continues along
[TS]
00:48:17
◼
►
this road that I guess you called remote
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
time machine you know actual Time
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
Machine backups to a different volume
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
hopefully on a different disk will use
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
the the smarts of a PFS to do something
[TS]
00:48:28
◼
►
intelligent I think they might be using
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
it now to just take the snapshot and
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
read from that snapshot to send to the
[TS]
00:48:32
◼
►
remote disk but it's not quite the same
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
thing as you can imagine like some more
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
deltas over oh it's changed I'm not
[TS]
00:48:38
◼
►
quite sure what they can do they can't
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
do the same thing to ZFS where you get
[TS]
00:48:40
◼
►
like block gifts and stuff like that
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
what's really cool but letting go is EFS
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
they want with a PFS so we got what we
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
got but anyway I feel like they can make
[TS]
00:48:47
◼
►
strides there as well we are sponsored

reading quickly is how you get through
[TS]
00:52:13
◼

it quickly how you get through it
[TS]
00:52:13
◼

quickly is by not having extended
[TS]
00:52:15

conversations by saying one or two

though how we get through it quickly is

by not breathing when I'm reading at all

that's how we get through quickly I'm

going to I'm going to build some gills

and give them to myself that's how I

will show you if you'd like me to do the

next one I can do anyway I'm with roll

price comparison the thing I want to
[TS]
00:52:32
◼

point out here is anytime there's price
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
comparisons from one computer you know
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
the iMac Pro versus some PC that you
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
build it like hey if you match the the
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
specs of the iMac Pro you end up with a
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
pretty expensive PC to the obvious
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
little asterisks that's on all these
[TS]
00:52:46
◼
►
stories is no sane person would build a
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
PC like the iMac Pro because most people
[TS]
00:52:53
◼
►
who need likes a really big GPU for
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
gaming honking up at a Xeon and they're
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
not going to have a cc ram and they're
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
not going to have this really expensive
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
5k display so even though this price
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
comparison is right nobody know no PC
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
builder would build a PC like the iMac
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
Pro for most of the things that people
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
build pcs for because they would Taylor
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
it wouldn't be the most expensive best
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
everything you can put in the computer
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
they would decide I care about you I
[TS]
00:53:21
◼
►
care about ECC I care about the CPU do I
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
care about the 5k screen and it would
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
end up with less expensive machine
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
that's all I wanted to say that
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
so Billy Flaherty's he points out that
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
between the mid and high end IMAX not
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
the iMac Pro with IMAX with the same
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
configuration have the same price but
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
the high end has the better video is he
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
missing something and there's a
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
screenshot we will put his tweet in the
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
show notes yeah I mean look when you
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
play with a configurator sometimes
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
things don't make sense
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
oh well apples you know not always
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
perfect and we aren't always perfect
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
let's move on well that means the advice
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
here is if you're configuring a Mac try
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
config you know you click on one of them
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
in like pick three or whatever try the
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
other one too and try to match the specs
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
it's worth doing once or twice just to
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
make sure the prices aren't out of whack
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
bingo John you had volunteered to cover
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
this next piece oh it's because you
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
can't pronounce this victors last name
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
absolutely guess what
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
Victor wrote in to tell us that whole
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
kit protocol thank you now opened all
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
devs you can build a smart device using
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
Heidi Pratt said Arduino Arduino yeah I
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
believe that's right yeah and control it
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
buy a home kit without getting an MFI
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
license so this seems like oh great
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
Apple has opened up home kit and now you
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
don't have to go through all this owner
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
of stuff to get home kit certified but
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
this is twist right so this is for
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
interoperability people can build things
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
that are compatible with home kit and
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
you don't have to be an MFI made for
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
iPhone is that still what it stands for
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
is this made for iPod I don't know it
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
should be for made for iOS anyway you
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
don't have to get that license and this
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
is Apple's explanation say at a user
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
level differences will include the
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
process for onboarding and IP based
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
success rate to the network and a
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
warning dialog in iOS that the user must
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
acknowledge before continuing so yeah
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
you don't have to be certified as part
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
of the program and you can interoperate
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
right but you can't you won't have the
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
Apple authentication coprocessor or you
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
and you won't have the Wi-Fi Alliance
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
certification and the user of your
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
device will get a warning dialog so it's
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
not it's great for hackers it's like it
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
opened up hey if you want to mess with
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
something and you can bypass these
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
like when you right-click open something
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
on the Mac you know power users can do
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
it but it doesn't suddenly make homekit
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
a free-for-all for everybody in practice
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
if you want to be part of the home Kitty
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
ecosystem as the first classes and you
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
still have to go through all the old
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
stuff but this is nice for people who
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
just want to hack something the other to
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
get it working the App Store guidelines
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
have been updated to allow programming
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
environments and so put a link in the
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
show notes to this apps designed to
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
teach develop or test executable code
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
may in limited circumstances download
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
code provided that such code is not used
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
for other purposes such apps must make
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
the source code provided by the
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
application completely viewable and
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
editable by the user not surprising but
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
nevertheless somewhat interesting yeah
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
they've been against like hey no
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
programming environment such a long time
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
it's nice to see them turn the corner on
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
this does this mean that Xcode for iOS
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
is any closer No yeah you know it's the
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
same distance it's always been which i
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
think is actually pretty close but it
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
does mean that people trying to make
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
program compliance for iOS chrome
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
wearing programming environments for iOS
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
no longer have to deal with AB review
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
just summarily rejecting them because
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
they execute code from the internet or
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
whatever speaking of the App Store
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
reviews no longer reset on update but
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
may optionally do so do we not get to
[TS]
00:56:43
◼
►
this list episode I don't think so
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
exciting development an app starland
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
yeah short version is basically before
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
when you submit a new update to an app
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
all your reviews would reset you and you
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
have to click over like the all reviews
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
tab now there are no more two different
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
tabs now but there's only one set of
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
reviews and every time you submit a new
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
version you could now choose whether you
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
want your reviews to reset by default
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
they don't which is good so if you have
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
like a really huge buggy horrible
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
version your app and you get a whole
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
bunch of one stars and your next update
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
you want to reset the slate you can do
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
that but by default you're going to get
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
a whole bunch of reviews all mixed
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
together from all previous versions and
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
it'll be fine and you won't lose your
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
reins any more awesome
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
all right additionally with the App
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
Store the review API this this is for
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
developers to say hey why don't you go
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
review my app or rate my app or blah
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
blah blah they it's they had announced a
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
new API somewhat recently doesn't matter
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
exactly when a parent thank you but
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
apparently it is now mandatory
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
vote use use the provided API to prompt
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
users to review the your app this
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
functionality allows customers to
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
provide an app store rating and review
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
without the inconvenience leaving your
[TS]
00:57:49
◼
►
app and we will disallow custom review
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
prompts yet the only thing here is like
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
we don't know it doesn't they don't
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
actually say when they are disallowing
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
your own custom rate this app prompt and
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
they also don't say how they're actually
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
going to be enforcing this and they
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
probably not going to ever say that but
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
you know there's been rules against
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
using push notifications for promotional
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
or marketing purposes since the
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
beginning of push notifications and yet
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
if you look at pretty much everybody's
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
phone that isn't you know yours as a
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
computer nerd and maybe even yours
[TS]
00:58:23
◼
►
almost everyone else's phone always has
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
on the lock screen a notification from
[TS]
00:58:27
◼
►
some mass-market app that's like hey
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
these things are now on sale come buy
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
them now or something
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
those are against the rules they have
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
always been against the rules but Apple
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
has never enforced it because it's a
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
hard thing to enforce so this is one of
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
those things to are like are they
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
actually going to find a way to enforce
[TS]
00:58:45
◼
►
a ban on custom rate disapp dialogues
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
maybe but it sounds like you know what
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
are they going to do like have people
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
using the app inside Apple and hitting a
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
report button when an app does this
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
because it's not going to do it during
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
like the two minutes that they're
[TS]
00:59:01
◼
►
reviewing it during app review so I this
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
this sounds like something that it would
[TS]
00:59:05
◼
►
be nice I hope they can find a way to
[TS]
00:59:07
◼
►
enforce this but based on their rate of
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
enforcement on spam push notifications
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
I'm not hopeful no argument here there's
[TS]
00:59:15
◼

a question can we see iPad and Mac apps
[TS]
00:59:18
◼

on iPhone in the iOS 11 App Store
[TS]
00:59:21

probably not if so it's a bug who cares

previous keynotes you've discussed

apple's efforts for quality on stage
[TS]
00:59:30

it's even more important to do so when

it's as bad as this year was it that bad
[TS]
00:59:34

did I miss like it was pretty bad like
[TS]
00:59:36

think it can you think back to who you

saw on stage during the keynote did you

see anybody except for white guys there

were a couple of women but it was I

think it was a worse ratio than usual
[TS]
00:59:47

yeah and as we discussed in the past
[TS]
00:59:49

like this is not the type of thing that

00:59:52

you can easily solve

want to happen

but is the people who are in charge of
[TS]
01:00:02
◼

the things that are being announced like
[TS]
01:00:04
◼
►
you know the people who are most
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
responsible for them get to get up there
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
and show off their thing and you would
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
hope the people in charge of the
[TS]
01:00:11
◼
►
important things at Apple have a
[TS]
01:00:13
◼
►
reasonable ratio you know some kind of
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
diversity that you know that it reflects
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
the the diversity that you want your
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
company to have at Apple's top executive
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
ranks the diversity is not that great
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
and so every time there is a product
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
that is announced for you know you this
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
is your department come and talk about
[TS]
01:00:34
◼
►
it guess what it's another you know grey
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
haired white guy and so you know it's
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
good to mix in other people for other
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
portions like they brought up someone to
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
do demos for example or if you get third
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
party people up there I mean they're
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
faced with the same problem because who
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
knows who's running this third party
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
companies as well but it's a thing that
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
I'm sure Apple is watching and and I
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
think you know we should at least be
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
continued to be cognizant of it as well
[TS]
01:01:01
◼
►
I don't know what the solution is other
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
than to for Apple to continue its
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
efforts to hire and promote all
[TS]
01:01:09
◼
►
different kinds of people instead of
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
making it an old boys club I'm now
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
disappointed myself because I usually am
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►
at least basically aware of in a broad
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
strokes how good or bad it was and I
[TS]
01:01:21
◼
►
really didn't think it was this it was
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
that bad this years and I must be wrong
[TS]
01:01:24
◼
►
but I feel like I remember a handful of
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
women up there certainly not in the
[TS]
01:01:29
◼
►
executive roles but nevertheless so
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
that's that's a one demerit for me
[TS]
01:01:32
◼
►
apparently
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
well it's like that thing where they say
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
like you know people's perception was
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
the one with people talking if you're in
[TS]
01:01:41
◼
►
a meeting and you ask the men in the
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
meeting what percentage of the time were
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
women talking about percentage of time
[TS]
01:01:45
◼
►
were men we're talking the men will say
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
it was about 50/50 when in reality was
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
like 15%
[TS]
01:01:50
◼
►
the women were talking right and 85% of
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
the men were talking that seems like
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
50/50 to men I figure with the exact
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
numbers but it was some absurd amount
[TS]
01:01:57
◼
►
that men perceive it to be equal when
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
women get a fraction of the time and if
[TS]
01:02:02
◼
►
women even start to approach like a
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
quarter of the time or half of the time
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
then men perceive it as the women
[TS]
01:02:08
◼
►
talking all the time and don't get a
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
chance at all it should and it's just
[TS]
01:02:11
◼
►
what you're used to right it's you know
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
so if you're used to seeing
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
which is literally three well-known
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
white guys who we see every single year
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
and there's one women you're like wow is
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
50% women this time it really was like
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
one one out of three other white guys so
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
that's you know that's just something to
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
be aware of in terms of cognitive biases
[TS]
01:02:30
◼
►
that it all depends on what you used to
[TS]
01:02:32
◼
►
know where you're coming from so the
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
perception that it was not that bad and
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
was you know it seemed like it was
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
pretty even it's just based on what
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
you're used to seeing and if it was
[TS]
01:02:40
◼
►
different than what you're used to we

adorable for those who are not aware of
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
the lingo which by the way was it you or

01:05:27
◼
►
MacBook one and it's ready yeah I mostly
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
stopped doing that recently because I
[TS]
01:05:32
◼
►
feel like now it's been long enough that
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
I can you can just hit the 12-inch
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
MacBook now so that's I just call it the
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
12-inch MacBook now but CGP grey on

01:05:40
◼
►

01:05:45
◼
►

[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
was the one who coined the term MacBook
[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
adorable and then you know Mike and you
[TS]
01:05:51
◼
►

[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
MacBook adorable slash MacBook one
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
indeed so when Apple announced that they
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
had refreshed them at the WDC keynote
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
which was mildly surprising to me I know
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
a lot of people had said oh it's coming
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
it's coming it's coming but I I wasn't
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
so sure at this point every time Apple
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
refreshes a Mac it's mildly surprising
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
yeah that's actually pretty accurate but
[TS]
01:06:20
◼
►
on yeah so within hours I had placed an
[TS]
01:06:24
◼
►
order for my MacBook adorable it arrived
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
Thursday of last week so the day after
[TS]
01:06:30
◼
►

[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
episode went out but it arrived after we
[TS]
01:06:34
◼
►
recorded and I have been using it on and
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
off for the last you know four days

◼
►

01:06:40
◼
►
following Monday

01:06:41
◼
►

[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
this thing because imagine how amazing
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
it would be to have a computer the saw
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
or a device the size of an iPad but it's
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
a computer so we can button a no no no
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►

[TS]
01:07:03
◼

01:07:14
◼
►
computer e things amazing you know what
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
I did just a few minutes ago I
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
transcoded something on ffmpeg did you
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
hear it
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
no why because was slower than dirt but
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
also because there's no fans because
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
there's no fans of this device are you
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
sure it's done
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
it is done it took forever it was
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
running it like 1/2 X whereas since my
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
MacBook Pro would do it at like 1 and
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
1/2 X and I haven't done this on my iMac
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
in a long time but um but anyway I all
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
kidding aside I I do love this thing it
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
is not without problems but I do love it
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
it is unbelievably light and I picked up
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
Aaron's MacBook Air which is several
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
years old now but I mean obviously the
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
nothing has changed on the MacBook Air
[TS]
01:07:56
◼
►
except that megahertz boosts that it got
[TS]
01:07:58
◼
►
so her MacBook Air is a aircraft carrier
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
by comparison it is mammoth by
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
comparison weighs a ton and in fact just
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
the other just this morning I was
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
carrying my beloved iPad Mini which is
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
also ancient and also effectively brand
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
new funny how that works and I was
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
carrying my iPad Mini and my MacBook
[TS]
01:08:17
◼
►
adorable and it occurred to me based on
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
no facts based on just what it felt like
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
in my hand
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
it felt like my third-generation iPad
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
you know the one that John and I both
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
had that we both loved that was the that
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
was the the first of the retina iPads
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
which kind of weighed ton kind of
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
overheated a lot the combination of my
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
MacBook adorable and my iPad felt like
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
roughly the same weight as the full-size
[TS]
01:08:42
◼
►
iPad from a few years ago the keyboard
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
there are pluses and minuses overall I
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
would say I like it I absolutely do not
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
love it like I do the magic
[TS]
01:08:55
◼
►
bored if it had 20 to 30% more travel I
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
think I would start moving toward love
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
and it's hard to describe because it's a
[TS]
01:09:08
◼

weird um it's a weird turn of phrase but
[TS]
01:09:12
◼

it feels more stable this keyboard then
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
perhaps even my beloved magic keyboard
[TS]
01:09:18
◼
►
like the keys
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
just don't move laterally in the way
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
that's certainly my MacBook Pro does my
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
MacBook Pro is effectively unusable that
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
keyboard right now because between the
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
magic keyboard a nice keyboard the
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
MacBook Pro is like it's like typing on
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
it you know the MacBook Pro keyboards
[TS]
01:09:38
◼
►
not that not the new fancy-pants ones
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
I'm talking about before the scissor
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
switches the MacBook Pro keyboard are
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
the Lexus IS of keyboards they are the
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
marshmallows of keyboards it's like
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
typing on pillows I don't mean that in
[TS]
01:09:51
◼
►
the like ah comfortable way I mean that
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
in the oh god this feels gross way I
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
like those keyboard pillows comfortable
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
it's Python you can buy all the keys and
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
you know you can feel where the arrow
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
keys are without looking or missing the
[TS]
01:10:03
◼
►
row no no I so first of all I think it's
[TS]
01:10:08
◼
►
hilarious how many people have yelled at
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
me for complaining about the new
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
keyboard so much when even the fit
[TS]
01:10:17
◼
►
basically if you're a fan of the new
[TS]
01:10:19
◼
►
keyboard you will tend to complain that
[TS]
01:10:21
◼
►
much about the old one so either way
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
it's like because the new keyboard is so
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
different from the old ones if you like
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
the new one you're going to complain
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
with the old one and vice versa
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
I think that's mostly true however I
[TS]
01:10:34
◼
►
only dislike the old one
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
in retrospect because at the time I
[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
thought was a perfectly fine keyboard
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
it's just now I've seen the light and
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
now I don't ever want to type on that
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
mushy marshmallow a disgusting mess ever
[TS]
01:10:47
◼
►
again but no I do love this MacBook
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
adorable
[TS]
01:10:51
◼
►
I don't feel generally speaking that
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
it's particularly slow I have done a
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
little bit of Xcode on it I've done some
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
basically you know some basic computing
[TS]
01:11:01
◼
►
tasks in to be fair this thing is never
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
really intended to be a powerhouse right
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
it's intended to be a travel computer
[TS]
01:11:07
◼
►
it's intended to be in around the
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
house computer it's an intended to be
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
basically a I don't want to use my work
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
computer or I don't want to be sitting
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
in my in-home office computer computer
[TS]
01:11:18
◼
►
oh it's for anywhere that's not either
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
my actual office or the office in my
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
house everywhere else I would be using
[TS]
01:11:26
◼
►
this I do still use my iPad from time to
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
time and for better or worse as much as
[TS]
01:11:31
◼
►
I snark like I I absolutely believe that
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
you can get worked on on an iPad for me
[TS]
01:11:36
◼
►
as I've said before and I was joking
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
earlier but for me every time I use an
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
iPad to do work and define work however
[TS]
01:11:43
◼
►
you would like
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
but the sorts of work that I do I either
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
can't do it on an iPad because there is
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
no Xcode on an iPad or it's it would be
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
considerably more difficult because
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
something like transcoding a video and
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
ffmpeg which I do way more often than
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
any normal human should I would have to
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
you know remote into my iMac and do it
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
that way and might the particular iPad I
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
have doesn't have a keyboard attached to
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
it and so for me any time I try to
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
accomplish anything on the iPad it
[TS]
01:12:11
◼
►
genuinely feels like I have a ball and
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
chain attached to me I'm not saying
[TS]
01:12:15
◼
►
that's true for you Mike it's okay you
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
don't have to yell at me but for for me
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
that is true and so having an actual
[TS]
01:12:23
◼
►
friggin computer that can do anything
[TS]
01:12:27
◼
►
that's as light in portable as an iPad
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
in my personal opinion is amazing and I
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
love this thing the one thing I'm not
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
sure I love is the one part of the
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
macbook one because by and large I
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
actually don't mind having only one port
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
I mean I'm pouring one out for MagSafe
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
because man do I love MagSafe but
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
generally I don't really mind having one
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
port I've gotten two or three I think
[TS]
01:12:56
◼
►
three dongles I have a I think it's
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
anchor we'll put links in the show notes
[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►
it's in its I believe it's an anchor a
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
device that has three traditional USB
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
what is that USB a I always get wrong um
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
thank you three USB a ports and a
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
Gigabit Ethernet jack or port connector
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
whatever interface on it but it does not
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
have pass-through power
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
and that's a bummer so as an example
[TS]
01:13:23
◼
►
when I wanted to do my initial time
[TS]
01:13:25
◼
►
machine back up I had to make sure that
[TS]
01:13:27
◼
►
this damn thing was topped up because
[TS]
01:13:29
◼
►
otherwise I wasn't gonna make it and
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
there's like not that much data on this
[TS]
01:13:33
◼
►
thing to begin with so that's
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
uncomfortable and that's something I've
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
never had to worry about before and
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
that's kind of frustrating if this
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
particular device of this particular
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
Ethernet adapter had passed through
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
power that would go away
[TS]
01:13:47
◼
►
I got a SD card reader I don't often
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
take pictures off my camera I almost
[TS]
01:13:54
◼
►
never do it on the road but I want to
[TS]
01:13:57
◼
►
have the ability to do so I don't lament
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
the fact that there's not an SD card
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
slot on the device would I like it
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
of course how much my card reader thirty
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
twelve I think from mana price and I've
[TS]
01:14:09
◼
►
already used it and it works it was very
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
very cheap would I preferred to be on
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
the on the computer of course but am i
[TS]
01:14:17
◼
►
bitter about it not being now it's very
[TS]
01:14:19
◼
►
small it was like twelve or thirteen
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
dollars again I'll put a link in the
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
show notes and it seems to work just
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
yeah just add it to your dongle bag that
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
we all have to carry now and that's the
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
thing like yes in I do have to have a
[TS]
01:14:30
◼
►
dongle bag the other thing I got was a
[TS]
01:14:31
◼
►
HDMI adapter which does have passed
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
through power and this particular one
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
also has a single USB a port on it so
[TS]
01:14:41
◼
►
that's probably going to be my
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
general-purpose adapter because it has
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
passed through power it has USB a and it
[TS]
01:14:48
◼
►
has HDMI so it has any of the things I
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
would typically want to have while
[TS]
01:14:54
◼
►
having passed through power the only
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
thing it doesn't have is Ethernet so I
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
guess maybe in retrospect I should have
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
gotten a a USB a Ethernet adapter but
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
presumably would have been speed limited
[TS]
01:15:04
◼
►
whatever it doesn't matter but to your
[TS]
01:15:06
◼
►
point I have yet to order but plan to
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
order a a small little I forget the name
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
of it but a Tom bin bag that I can put
[TS]
01:15:13
◼
►
all of these little dongles in and have
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
my USB C dongle bag there's not that
[TS]
01:15:17
◼
►
many of them I don't feel like I need
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
anymore
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
but I needed them well for the name of
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
portability you now need to dongle back
[TS]
01:15:25
◼
►
I have one too and for the same reason
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
because like I use these new computers
[TS]
01:15:30
◼
►
now when I'm when traveling and well you
[TS]
01:15:32
◼
►
just kind of
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
need that I mean the one thing so before
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
it before I make you continue and tell
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
me all about how more stuff about this I
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
do want to interject one brief thing
[TS]
01:15:41
◼
►
here and that is that even even that
[TS]
01:15:44
◼
►
I've been using the MacBook Escape as my
[TS]
01:15:46
◼
►
computer for this role the methylase
[TS]
01:15:48
◼
►
cave has only two ports and I have found
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
that to be incredibly inconvenient more
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
often than I expected and so to go from
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
to well so for example during our live
[TS]
01:15:59
◼
►
stream the the MacBook Escape was was my
[TS]
01:16:02
◼
►
computer that I was it was doing the
[TS]
01:16:05
◼
►
live broadcast it was playing sound
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
effects into this into the PA system for
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
like our you know add bumpers and stuff
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
and and it was you know back of
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
recording reels anyway so I was using it
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
because we were in like a room full of
[TS]
01:16:19
◼
►
laptops and nerds I didn't want to rely
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
on Wi-Fi so I had an Ethernet connection
[TS]
01:16:24
◼
►
for the live streaming internet
[TS]
01:16:26
◼
►
connection so that's Ethernet takes up
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
one of the dog or one of the spots the
[TS]
01:16:29
◼
►
audio interface because there's no more
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
audio line-in functionality in any in
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
any mac except for the Mac Mini anymore
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
I don't know why except just to save
[TS]
01:16:38
◼
►
money I guess I line in used to come on
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
every computer I don't know why Apple
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
decided nobody needs line anymore
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
because it's really cheap to add it's
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
really cheap to be there it doesn't take
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
a lot of space it's just it's just
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
another headphone jack
[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
it stays room for that why isn't the
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
room for a wine in but whatever the
[TS]
01:16:54
◼
►
reason Apple decides that computers
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
don't need line in Jack's anymore
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
so you need an entire audio interface or
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
USB sound card or something if you want
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
a line in on a computer so anyway
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
Ethernet in one port line in audio
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
interface on the other port that's it
[TS]
01:17:11
◼
►
and I also wanted power so and what so I
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
have a few options here I can get some
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
kind of dongle and I actually bought the
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
Apple dongle that is the the expensive
[TS]
01:17:23
◼
►
like $70 one that has the one HDMI port
[TS]
01:17:27
◼
►
one USB a port and a charging
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
pass-through that that's basically what
[TS]
01:17:31
◼
►
I have but a but a cheap knockoff right
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
and the reason I bought the Apple one is
[TS]
01:17:36
◼
►
because I was using this in production
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
like in a live show with a thousand
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
people in the room sure I did not want
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
any part of that thing to fail the other
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
problem is that that's a USB a port on
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
there and so one thing one thing that's
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
very interesting as I found as I'm
[TS]
01:17:51
◼
►
trying to convert to a USBC lifestyle as
[TS]
01:17:54
◼
►
much as I can just for my own
[TS]
01:17:55
◼
►
convenience when traveling trying to
[TS]
01:17:56
◼
►
make it as much as we stuff as possible
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
and actually listener Remy wrote in I'm
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
not sure he didn't say whether we can
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
use his last name so I'm not going to
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
listen to Remy wrote in a few days ago
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
basically pointing out this this problem
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
in the USB see ego system right now that
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
as far as he could tell and I agree as
[TS]
01:18:12
◼
►
far as I can tell is anybody making hubs
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
that convert a USB C port two more USB
[TS]
01:18:18
◼
►
seaports yeah that was a very
[TS]
01:18:21
◼
►
interesting point and I'm sure that
[TS]
01:18:23
◼
►
there is one some way or maybe there's
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
many but I certainly have not stumbled
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
across one yeah neither and like and
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
actually the LG 5k monitor is one such
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
thing but I I'm not aware of any
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
standalone hubs that like you convert
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
one USB C port to like four USB ports
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
like I've never I have not seen that one
[TS]
01:18:42

of the problems with the USB C lifestyle
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
is what I was facing with this Apple
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
dongle which is like okay so I have a
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
USBC cable for my sound interface and I
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
have a USB C Ethernet adapter and I have
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
a USB C power adapter the Apple dongle
[TS]
01:18:57
◼
►
thing only converts one to one on C so
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►
it has an a port but then I then I need
[TS]
01:19:03
◼
►
to have an AE thinner adapter which I
[TS]
01:19:06
◼
►
don't have I haven't had it since the
[TS]
01:19:07
◼
►
MacBook Air I can move the sound card to
[TS]
01:19:09
◼
►
that but I wasn't sure I want something
[TS]
01:19:11
◼
►
as critical as the sound card to be
[TS]
01:19:13
◼
►
going through a dongle with a weird
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
little mini hub in it so the USB C
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
ecosystem is actually kind of hard to
[TS]
01:19:21
◼
►
fully adopt right now because you can't
[TS]
01:19:24
◼
►
generally as far as we can tell you
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
can't multiply USB C ports you might
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
think oh good my computer has two or
[TS]
01:19:30
◼
►
four or in your case one USB C port but
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
that also replaces the power port
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
so like that well if you actually want
[TS]
01:19:40
◼
►
to be plugged into power you just lost a
[TS]
01:19:42
◼
►
port which might be your only one or at
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
least so now you're down from two to one
[TS]
01:19:46
◼
►
so like if you've if you've been
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
accustomed to most Apple laptops for the
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
last many years have generally had two
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
USB ports on them and you could be
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
plugged into power and also have two USB
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
things plugged
[TS]
01:19:58
◼
►
well now you're down to on the MacBook
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
one you run to zero on the MacBook
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
escape you have one if you're plugged in
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
and so like it's and and if you actually
[TS]
01:20:08
◼
►
try if you actually spend the lots of
[TS]
01:20:10
◼
►
money on one of the Apple dongles or the
[TS]
01:20:12
◼
►
less money but still money on one of the
[TS]
01:20:14
◼
►
third-party ones that by the way if you
[TS]
01:20:16
◼
►
look at Amazon reviews for third-party
[TS]
01:20:19
◼
►
USB see hubs and dongles and things
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
the reviews are all over the map and
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
most of them seem like they're at best
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
inconsistent maybe unreliable they they
[TS]
01:20:31
◼
►
have a lot of problems it seems and
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
they're probably all using this we have
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
one of a very small number of chipsets
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
and things maybe those are the problems
[TS]
01:20:37
◼
►
who knows what the problem is but
[TS]
01:20:38
◼
►
regardless it's a problem like if if you
[TS]
01:20:41
◼
►
want to reliably multiply these ports
[TS]
01:20:44
◼
►
it's really hard to do that so that's
[TS]
01:20:47
◼
►
that's a big problem and and your now
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
that you're in this useless to me you're
[TS]
01:20:51
◼
►
going to find that as well anyway so
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
what I ended up doing for our live show
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
I just ran on battery power the whole
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
time which is a terrible solution and
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
the MacBook Escape which has amazing
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
battery power but you're not doing much
[TS]
01:21:03
◼
►
ghostwrote goes from you know twelve
[TS]
01:21:06
◼
►
hours battery life when you're like
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
casually browsing Safari to if you're
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
actually like running stuff off of it it
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
goes to about three hours of battery
[TS]
01:21:14
◼
►
life and that's not great it when you're
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
running a podcast like this one uh so
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
deep it was like it you know I so I was
[TS]
01:21:24
◼
►
basically juggling like before the show
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
I would like you know unplug the sound
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
card and plug in power for a while and
[TS]
01:21:29
◼
►
then right before we started like you
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
know yank that out like switch over
[TS]
01:21:32
◼
►
bidding then you can't test things it it
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
was a it was actually really incredibly
[TS]
01:21:36
◼
►
inconvenient and that was that was one
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
of the first times besides on my
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
keyboard stopped working that was one of
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
the first times what I actually did
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
regret having the escape because having
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
only two ports is incredibly in
[TS]
01:21:50
◼
►
community and and this is not the first
[TS]
01:21:51
◼
►
time that this has been inconvenient for
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
me but having one port I imagine for you
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
is is even worse yeah it is innocent I
[TS]
01:22:00
◼
►
think if this was my only computer it
[TS]
01:22:02
◼
►
would get really ugly really quickly and
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
I would probably have some sort of
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
ridiculous dock but again the whole
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
point of this machine is to be super
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
portable and so
[TS]
01:22:12
◼
►
what I ended up with was $80 worth of
[TS]
01:22:15
◼
►
dongles and cables there evening so the
[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►
Lightning I didn't mention previously
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
but I got a lightning USBC cable off
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
Amazon again and knock off that was
[TS]
01:22:25
◼
►
eight bucks the HDMI adapter which is
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
basically the same thing that add that
[TS]
01:22:28
◼
►
Apple sells except a knockoff from from
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
on a price that was 30 bucks the SD card
[TS]
01:22:33
◼
►
reader was twelve dollars and the
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
ethernet thing was $30 and so it's a
[TS]
01:22:37
◼
►
total of 80 bucks
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
roughly I'll have links in the show
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
notes all of these seem to work fine
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
they're not terribly large they seem to
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
work okay if this was my only computer
[TS]
01:22:47
◼
►
I'd be really grumpy and bitter but
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
since it's not in since I'm not going to
[TS]
01:22:50
◼
►
be doing terribly challenging difficult
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
tasks on it for the most part it's it's
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
really not bad at all and I see where
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
USBC will be pretty cool and the reason
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
I can see that is I wanted to try out my
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
HDMI cable and so I brought the the
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
MacBook adorable downstairs I hooked up
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
an HDMI cable to the TV hooked up that
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
cable to the dongle hooked up the dongle
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
to the MacBook and then I thought to
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
myself I wonder if I can power this all
[TS]
01:23:21
◼
►
at the same time just to see because I
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
thought for a minute I would like maybe
[TS]
01:23:24
◼
►
watch a movie off of it just to see if
[TS]
01:23:26
◼
►
it would work and it occurred to me wait
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
a second my switch dock is right here as
[TS]
01:23:33
◼
►
is my pro controller charging cable I
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
wonder if in Shore not it wasn't
[TS]
01:23:41
◼
►
actively charging the MacBook but it was
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
at least slightly keeping it afloat by
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
taking the charging cable for the pro
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
controller on the switch which I believe
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
is USB a two USB C so comes out of the
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
switches USB a goes into the pro
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
controller or in my case the MacBook as
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
USB see and it seemed to work and I'm
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
sure over hours it would eventually
[TS]
01:24:07
◼
►
drain my battery but it was very wild
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
that that was an acceptable way of doing
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
things and additionally I was talking to
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
underscore who has one of these as his
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
travel computers far as I'm aware anyway
[TS]
01:24:17
◼
►
and he was saying that what you can do
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
is you can issue the the actual charging
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
brick that came with it which by the way
[TS]
01:24:24
◼
►
eight to my eyes looks barely any bigger
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
than the you the the iPad charging brick
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
that's been the iPad charging brick
[TS]
01:24:32
◼
►
forever I understand there's one that
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
works with the iPad blah blah blah or
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
the same one with the right cable that
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
works with the iPad but this thing the
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
charging brick is comically small well
[TS]
01:24:39
◼
►
anyways what underscore was saying was
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
just use like one of your anchor or
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
whatever USB a like hubs that does
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
nothing but charge just let the thing
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
run sit overnight suspended charging and
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
it'll be just fine it'll be topped up by
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
the morning and I don't know if I
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
necessarily need to go to that route but
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
the foot but the fact that that's an
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
option that's super cool so I can see
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
how this USBC lifestyle could be awesome
[TS]
01:25:04
◼
►
but it's definitely not a hundred
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
percent awesome yet I don't know now
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
John you haven't gotten your new
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
computer for work yet right no they
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
notified me about it they said hey we're
[TS]
01:25:14
◼
►
going to buy the new ones guess what and
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
then they started giving me flak about
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
wanting a one terabyte drive because it
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
cost a bazillion dollars from Apple so
[TS]
01:25:21
◼
►
we're working on it why do you need a
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
one terabyte drive for work a lot of
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
virtual machines I asked me the same
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
question why I need such a big drive of
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
it but you have unlimited space on
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
Microsoft onedrive or blah blah blah
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
like you know when I'm are on a virtual
[TS]
01:25:33
◼
►
machine off of there why do you have so
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
many virtual machines well because I do
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
we're doing local development and back
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
and docker runs in a virtual machine
[TS]
01:25:41
◼
►
virtual machines for other kinds of
[TS]
01:25:42
◼
►
flavors of Linux and it's just the way
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
it is so you sound just like them what
[TS]
01:25:47
◼
►
do you need all this stuff like this is
[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
what I got as soon as you said VM the
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
conversation was over for me and it's
[TS]
01:25:52
◼
►
not is it yeah it's not just one VM and
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
like the try to go in something you
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
can't run a VM off like onedrive or
[TS]
01:25:56
◼
►
Google Drive for me good but you'll just
[TS]
01:25:58
◼
►
be painful so we'll see how that goes
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
but and also like one of the big reasons
[TS]
01:26:03
◼
►
is like you can never upgrade it I think
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
that's that's a segue that is all
[TS]
01:26:09
◼
►
justification you need like if you are
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
buying an Apple laptop or at most Macs
[TS]
01:26:13
◼
►
today actually if you're buying a Mac
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
data it does not have a gradable storage
[TS]
01:26:17
◼
►
then the answer to why do you need the
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
terabyte is literally like you can never
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
upgrade this so if you want this laptop
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
to last however many years that you
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
intend it to last you have to really get
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
as much storage as you can afford
[TS]
01:26:32
◼
►
because that is one like barrier just
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
run into and
[TS]
01:26:36
◼
►
that's like you could never change it
[TS]
01:26:38
◼
►
work there never an upgraded anything
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
anyway they don't know Karen there my
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
main pitch was like look the Mac I'm
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
using right now is eight years old
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
coming break here I already saved the
[TS]
01:26:46
◼
►
company a lot of money yeah nice yeah I
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
don't think I was specific by the way
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
about what I ordered and for the record
[TS]
01:26:54
◼
►
I ordered the basically maxed out
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
MacBook adorable because to build on
[TS]
01:26:58
◼
►
what you were just saying the conclusion
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
I've come to is when buying a Mac this
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
may not be applicable to other
[TS]
01:27:02
◼
►
manufacturers but when buying a Mac the
[TS]
01:27:04
◼
►
order of operations is get as much RAM
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
as you possibly can that's step one step
[TS]
01:27:09
◼
►
two is get as much disk space as you
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
possibly can within your budget and then
[TS]
01:27:13
◼
►
step three in my personal estimation is
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
get the biggest processor you possibly
[TS]
01:27:17
◼
►
can given your budget and I find that
[TS]
01:27:19
◼
►
Ram makes the biggest difference SSD
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
because of all the reasons Marco just
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
gave you and then finally CPU because
[TS]
01:27:26
◼
►
why not and so I got a maxed out MacBook
[TS]
01:27:30
◼
►
adorable and it was not cheap but it can
[TS]
01:27:34
◼
►
do anything I want it to do maybe not
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
with the speed I want it to because like
[TS]
01:27:38
◼
►
I was saying you know the transcoding
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
something in ffmpeg is not fast but it
[TS]
01:27:43
◼
►
is otherwise to me a no compromise
[TS]
01:27:46
◼
►
machine and that's really awesome the
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
only thing that I think is slightly a
[TS]
01:27:52
◼
►
compromise that that does make me
[TS]
01:27:53
◼
►
jealous of my iPad Mini is I kind of

[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
this is something that a lot of people
[TS]
01:28:20
◼
►
could use like like I you know I've been
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
getting it on iPads basically forever
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
because it really does make iPads way
[TS]
01:28:26
◼

way more usable for people who
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
articulate me and yes I know tethering
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
just and tethering has gotten way better
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
than it used to be it's way easier than
[TS]
01:28:34
◼
►
it used to be to use but what to have a
[TS]
01:28:37
◼

cellular built in is way better and like
[TS]
01:28:40
◼

like now the data plans are even are

cheaper than ever and like when you have

01:28:44
◼
►
a combined family plan like it only

iPad on
[TS]
01:28:49
◼

my cellular plan so Nhu the same shared

pool of massive data that I have from

AT&T for just another 10 bucks a month
[TS]
01:28:55
◼

and that's great
[TS]
01:28:57
◼

like so it's to me it's a no-brainer on
[TS]
01:28:59
◼

an iPad and the second they release
[TS]
01:29:02
◼
►
cellular laptops if Apple ever does this
[TS]
01:29:05
◼

I will immediately trade in whatever
[TS]
01:29:08
◼

laptop I have for a new one with
[TS]
01:29:09
◼

cellular like that that is how much I
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
want that like it it is such a big thing
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
it's one of those things that unless you
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
experience like having a Wi-Fi only iPad
[TS]
01:29:19
◼
►
and then having a cellular iPad which is
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
the exact path I went through I don't
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
think you'll ever really understand how
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
much more convenient it is yes I
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
understand tethering is a thing yes I'm
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
aware that you can turn on tethering
[TS]
01:29:32
◼
►
from the other device if they're all in
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
the same iCloud account yada yada yada I
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
am aware that it is as easy as it can
[TS]
01:29:38
◼
►
possibly be to make tethering against
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
another device work I get it but that
[TS]
01:29:44
◼
►
will never ever be as convenient as
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
having the connection on the device
[TS]
01:29:49
◼
►
you're on it just won't if you're
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
sitting there and you have a furrowed
[TS]
01:29:54
◼

brow and you're like what is he talking

01:29:55
◼
►
about that's like no I'm telling you
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
it's the way it is try it sometime it's
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
like the different it's like having
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
having to like use a dial-up API like a
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
dial-up interface on your on your
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
computer like okay
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
connect to the tether now disconnect
[TS]
01:30:08
◼
►
from the tether to save the battery on
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
the tethering thing or to make it stop
[TS]
01:30:11
◼
►
burned it in the background in my
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
backpack like it's you have to manage it
[TS]
01:30:15
◼
►
it's still something you have to manage
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
you have to do you have to sometimes
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
wait for and you're still then draining
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
the battery to your phone or having to
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
plug it into one of your one USB ports
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
like it's it's not it everything about
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
that is painful but something at that
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
another reason I ran into with my laptop
[TS]
01:30:33
◼
►
planning with the live show is that my
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
backup option before I got to the venue
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
I was thinking I might have to use
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
tethering as the internet connection and
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
again I'm not going to rely on wireless
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
tethering in a room full of a thousand
[TS]
01:30:46
◼
►
people with Apple devices so I was going
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
to use USB tethering and I had to bring
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
lightning cables with both types of USB
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
ends so I could make sure that I'd be
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
able to plug in with either the dongle
[TS]
01:30:58
◼
►
or direct port
[TS]
01:31:01
◼
►
it's just friction it's just all these
[TS]
01:31:03
◼
►
things they just add friction the USB
[TS]
01:31:05
◼
►
transition is adding friction the fact
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
that it still isn't like no matter how
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
much money you're willing to spend on
[TS]
01:31:11
◼
►
dongles and new cables right now you
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
still can't fully transition to USBC so
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
you're still you're still gonna be
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►
living in a mixed world for a long time
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
and it still sucks and you there's still
[TS]
01:31:21
◼
►
these meetings is like a like okay well
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
now I my teeth ernet adapter is USBC but
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
now I can't play with USB a port if I
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
ever have to use a hub or something that
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
only output USB a like there's all these
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
there's gonna be these problems forever
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
right tethering and versus built-in
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
cellular is like a it's similar it's
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
like it's just friction it's more
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
friction and when there's friction you
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
use things less or it gets in the way or
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
sometimes it doesn't work like you know
[TS]
01:31:46
◼
►
think like when it's built in will work
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
every time when it's not built in when
[TS]
01:31:50
◼
►
you're tethering like occasionally it
[TS]
01:31:51
◼
►
won't work and that would be annoying or
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
a problem for you like having it built
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
in is just so much nicer yep I
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
completely agree xeriscape have
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
Thunderbolt yes you look into
[TS]
01:32:03
◼
►
Thunderbolt hubs to try to solve your
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
because I know USB C hubs multipliers
[TS]
01:32:07
◼
►
apparently aren't out there the tipster
[TS]
01:32:09
◼
►
hasn't delivered his Promised One but uh
[TS]
01:32:11
◼
►
like a thunderbolt UBB that gives you
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
Ethernet and a bunch of USB ports and
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
audio and all the stuff you looked into
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
that you know I haven't yet maybe I
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
should I'm not sure any of those
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
Thunderbolt hubs ever really were
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
adopted by enough people to even know
[TS]
01:32:27
◼
►
whether they suck or not I would be
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
hesitant to also invest in any kind of
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
Thunderbolt 2 gear right now and
[TS]
01:32:34
◼
►
Thunderbolt 3 gear is probably still too
[TS]
01:32:36
◼
►
young or not even out yet you know
[TS]
01:32:38
◼
►
depending so well and I can't use it
[TS]
01:32:40
◼
►
either because if I understand you don't
[TS]
01:32:42
◼
►
have Thunderbolt right exactly if I
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
understand this whole kerfuffle
[TS]
01:32:45
◼
►
correctly I don't have Thunderbolt that
[TS]
01:32:48
◼
►
I can get to externally so so it for me
[TS]
01:32:52
◼
►
that's useless I'm stuck with just
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
straight USB C and I'm not saying office
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
ly that that's true for everyone but for
[TS]
01:32:57
◼
►
me it's USB C or bust and and yeah I
[TS]
01:33:00
◼
►
mean so far I really love this thing I'm
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
travelling with it very very soon so
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
we'll see what I think of it then part
[TS]
01:33:08
◼
►
of the draw of getting such a small
[TS]
01:33:11
◼
►
computer was on the plane back from
[TS]
01:33:13
◼
►
the person in front of me decided to
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
recline and I have very strong opinions
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
about jerks people who recline their
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
seats and planes and read and when this
[TS]
01:33:25
◼
►
person reclined their seat I
[TS]
01:33:27
◼
►
there was no way for me to use my laptop
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
except perhaps reclining but I'm a
[TS]
01:33:33
◼
►
gentleman so I wouldn't do that there
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
was no way to use my 15 inch laptop
[TS]
01:33:36
◼
►
without giving myself horrible pain
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
somewhere on my body as silly as it
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
sounds that 2 or 3 inches that person
[TS]
01:33:44
◼
►
infringed upon what is my space damn it
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
that made the difference between me
[TS]
01:33:48
◼
►
being able to use my computer and me not
[TS]
01:33:49
◼
►
where is this thing I mean it's it's
[TS]
01:33:52
◼
►
almost an iPad I could pretty much use
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
it anywhere and and I just I really
[TS]
01:33:58
◼
►
really love it I'm super happy with it
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
the Space Gray is so darn good-looking I
[TS]
01:34:03
◼
►
don't know why anyone would buy any
[TS]
01:34:04
◼
►
other color I love this thing it
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
definitely does have some problems here
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
and there it has some catches it has
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
some some issues most notably I do think
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
even just one more USB C port would make
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
a world of difference but generally
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
speaking for the purpose I'm trying to
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
for the purpose this this laptop exists
[TS]
01:34:24
◼
►
in my world which is to be an accessory
[TS]
01:34:26
◼
►
to be either a portable machine to do
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
something it to do everything in a pinch
[TS]
01:34:32
◼
►
or to just be an accessory so it doesn't
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
have to do everything at all it is
[TS]
01:34:37
◼
►
pretty much perfect and I am overjoyed
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
with it now ask me again once I start
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
getting some real time with with one of
[TS]
01:34:46
◼
►
the bigger iPads on iOS 11 and maybe I'm
[TS]
01:34:48
◼
►
going to start having some buyers
[TS]
01:34:49
◼
►
remorse because this new this new stuff
[TS]
01:34:52
◼
►
and iOS 11 does look darn good but I
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
don't think that will ever really change
[TS]
01:34:56
◼
►
the fact that this computer can do
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
everything I wanted to do maybe not the
[TS]
01:35:01
◼
►
speed at which I wanted to do maybe not
[TS]
01:35:03
◼
►
without a few dongles that I wish I
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
didn't have to carry but it can do
[TS]
01:35:07
◼
►
literally everything I want it to do
[TS]
01:35:10
◼
►
whereas an iPad for me either can't or
[TS]
01:35:14
◼
►
can't do it without having a Mac nearby
[TS]
01:35:17
◼
►
or having a keyboard nearby or about
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
without having any number of other
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
things that
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
to support it and while I deeply respect
[TS]
01:35:26
◼
►
the mics and the Federico's and the Ben
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
Brooks's of the world who can figure out
[TS]
01:35:31
◼
►
a way to make this technology work for
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
them for me if I have to write a
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
workflow which again is one of the most
[TS]
01:35:38
◼
►
mind-blowing ly amazing apps written by
[TS]
01:35:40
◼
►
unbelievably great great people if I
[TS]
01:35:42
◼
►
have to write a a workflow in order to
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
get this device to do what I want it to
[TS]
01:35:49
◼
►
do then to me that it's already failed
[TS]
01:35:53
◼
►
because I have to bend the device to my
[TS]
01:35:57
◼
►
whereas this computer this tiny adorable
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
darling little computer of mine can do
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
everything right off the bat and that's
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
what's important to me you know they
[TS]
01:36:07
◼
►
sell a ski racks for the top of cars
[TS]
01:36:10
◼
►
mmm-hmm they should sell that for night
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
books like you would just be like a ski
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
rack for your for your MacBook and you
[TS]
01:36:17
◼
►
just click on all your dongles right
[TS]
01:36:20
◼
►
yeah right I think they would really
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
hammer home the point that Marco was
[TS]
01:36:24
◼
►
getting at before which is like you buy
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
these computers that is super slim
[TS]
01:36:27
◼
►
because portability is paramount right
[TS]
01:36:30
◼
►
but then everybody needs to bring some
[TS]
01:36:32
◼
►
other thing with them to make the
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
computer usable for them and that some
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
other thing compromises portability so
[TS]
01:36:39
◼
►
much more than an extra millimeter would
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
another thing no I suppose if you never
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
need to bring anything then you win the
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
portability like yes thank God it's
[TS]
01:36:47
◼
►
portable and smaller and light but if
[TS]
01:36:50
◼
►
you have to bring a single dongle then
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
it's like game over and having an actual
[TS]
01:36:53
◼
►
rack attached to the back of them would
[TS]
01:36:55
◼
►
be a nice way to communicate to Apple
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
like that ever became a popular product
[TS]
01:36:59
◼
►
like look you made this thing portable
[TS]
01:37:01
◼
►
but then we put it head to put a ski
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
rack on thanks a lot yeah that's that's
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
the thing like when whatever Apple
[TS]
01:37:07
◼
►
removes a port we hear from people who
[TS]
01:37:09
◼
►
say things like well I never use anyway
[TS]
01:37:12
◼
►
like you know just now I was 20 minutes
[TS]
01:37:15

ago I was ranting about how no Mac's
[TS]
01:37:17
◼
►
have line in imports anymore except the
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
Mac Mini the the reasoning behind that
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
that almost any Apple fan would come up
[TS]
01:37:24
◼
►
with in two seconds because it isn't
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
that hard to come up with this reason is
[TS]
01:37:27
◼
►
well most people don't use that I have
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
one I've never used it like that's what
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
everyone says whenever Apple remove
[TS]
01:37:33
◼
►
something that I like everyone else says
[TS]
01:37:37
◼
►
well I I've never used that port but
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
like for everyone that's different so
[TS]
01:37:41
◼
►
one thing that I would say about that
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
with all my previous you know laptops is
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
that I've never used the HDMI port but a
[TS]
01:37:49
◼
►
lot of people do use the HDMI port and
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
you know what even when I say I've never
[TS]
01:37:52
◼
►
used the HDMI port that's probably wrong
[TS]
01:37:55
◼
►
I've probably used it like once or twice
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
and during those once or twice times I
[TS]
01:38:00
◼
►
bet I was really glad I had it and a
[TS]
01:38:03
◼
►
line in Jack for audio like this is one
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
of those things where it's like it isn't
[TS]
01:38:08
◼
►
that hard to add there they already have
[TS]
01:38:10
◼
►
the entire like USB audio codec chip in
[TS]
01:38:13
◼
►
these computers anyway like it would
[TS]
01:38:15
◼
►
cost them almost nothing additional and
[TS]
01:38:18
◼
►
while most people don't usually use it
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
sometimes people use it and during those
[TS]
01:38:24
◼
►
times it's really nice to have it and I
[TS]
01:38:27
◼
►
would say the same thing about so many
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
other features like I never use the
[TS]
01:38:30
◼
►
front-facing camera on any of my things
[TS]
01:38:32
◼
►
but a lot of people do so it's fine I
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
never use many of the capabilities most
[TS]
01:38:39
◼
►
people don't use all of the humilities
[TS]
01:38:41
◼
►
of the computers and the computing
[TS]
01:38:43
◼
►
devices they have that does not mean
[TS]
01:38:46
◼
►
that the correct design decision is to
[TS]
01:38:48
◼
►
get rid of everything like there's this
[TS]
01:38:50
◼
►
obsession with getting rid of things
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
minimizing things deleting things
[TS]
01:38:54
◼
►
erasing things the reality is like these
[TS]
01:38:58
◼
►
are general purpose devices and the more
[TS]
01:39:00
◼
►
they can do the more useful they're
[TS]
01:39:02
◼
►
going to be to people the more they're
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
going to help people the more often
[TS]
01:39:04
◼
►
they're going to be able to do what
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
people need them to do with with the
[TS]
01:39:07
◼
►
equipment they already have without
[TS]
01:39:08
◼
►
buying a bunch of dongles and having
[TS]
01:39:10
◼
►
them with you all the time I really I
[TS]
01:39:12
◼
►
wish that Apple would have the courage
[TS]
01:39:17
◼
►
and I'm using this word deliberately
[TS]
01:39:18
◼
►
here have the courage to say yes
[TS]
01:39:21
◼
►
sometimes to have the courage to say you
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
know what even though most people don't
[TS]
01:39:27
◼
►
use say the SD card slot for the people
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
that do that's incredibly useful and
[TS]
01:39:33
◼
►
it's not really you know being a problem
[TS]
01:39:36
◼
►
for us to keep it there so let's keep it
[TS]
01:39:38
◼
►
there or how about maybe if we're going
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
to have a whole new line of computers
[TS]
01:39:44
◼
►
that is reducing the number of ports it
[TS]
01:39:46
◼
►
has down to almost nothing how about we
[TS]
01:39:48
◼
►
give people the most
[TS]
01:39:50
◼
►
of that port that we possibly can and
[TS]
01:39:52
◼
►
maybe they are now I don't know I don't
[TS]
01:39:54
◼
►
know the details about thunderbolt
[TS]
01:39:55
◼
►
bandwidth and stuff but like I feel like
[TS]
01:39:57
◼
►
Apple needs to step back a little bit
[TS]
01:40:00
◼
►
from the obsession with removing things
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
because it really does overall make
[TS]
01:40:06
◼
►
these things less useful in times and
[TS]
01:40:09
◼
►
people don't expect that or don't
[TS]
01:40:11
◼
►
welcome that or we have to patch over
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
over these wonderful beautiful objects
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
with things like dongle bags and our in
[TS]
01:40:18
◼
►
our bags that now we have to carry these
[TS]
01:40:20
◼
►
additional things and spend the 80 plus
[TS]
01:40:23
◼
►
dollars on all these additional adapters
[TS]
01:40:25
◼
►
that we didn't need before with with the
[TS]
01:40:27
◼
►
computers that we bought a few years ago
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
we didn't need a dongle to to do this
[TS]
01:40:32
◼
►
common thing and now we do and is so
[TS]
01:40:34
◼
►
have we really made progress like that
[TS]
01:40:36
◼
►
sounds worse to me there's there's
[TS]
01:40:38
◼
►
nothing wrong with a computer having a
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
capability that most of its customers
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
don't use if it's not costing you a lot
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
to have it there if it's not causing
[TS]
01:40:49
◼
►
some kind of big problem what's the big
[TS]
01:40:51
◼
►
deal with having it there for the time
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
when someone does need it and then they
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
can be happily delighted that oh my
[TS]
01:40:58
◼
►
computer can do this new thing that I
[TS]
01:41:00
◼
►
need to do suddenly right now that I
[TS]
01:41:02
◼
►
didn't that I didn't predict or plan for
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
by dongle for ahead of time what's so
[TS]
01:41:06
◼
►
bad about that I think the answer is
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
it's it's to get rid of them simplifies
[TS]
01:41:14
◼
►
things to get rid of them makes things
[TS]
01:41:16
◼
►
smaller and thinner and as much as I am
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
a hundred percent behind you on thinness
[TS]
01:41:22
◼
►
being a bad thing for phones like we
[TS]
01:41:26
◼
►
could stand to have our phones get a
[TS]
01:41:27
◼
►
little thicker and you've been saying
[TS]
01:41:29
◼
►
that for a long time and I agree with
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
you in this case though I have to
[TS]
01:41:32
◼
►
concede that this thing being is thin
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
and light as it is it's pretty nice
[TS]
01:41:38
◼
►
that's exactly why I bought it
[TS]
01:41:41
◼
►
oh yeah and others I mean there's no
[TS]
01:41:43
◼
►
differences here like I'm not saying
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
that that the one super thin super light
[TS]
01:41:48
◼
►
computer in the lineup has to have a
[TS]
01:41:50
◼
►
million ports on it because obviously
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
that actually doesn't have the room for
[TS]
01:41:53
◼
►
it and I but I'm talking about like you
[TS]
01:41:55
◼
►
know okay I got over them removing
[TS]
01:41:57
◼
►
Ethernet a while ago because well even
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
that's really big you know so that makes
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
sense but like SD cards and audio jacks
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
and stuff were pretty small
[TS]
01:42:04
◼
►
like and you like you can fit those in
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
thin bodies it's not it isn't a problem
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
like that's a lot of these things seem
[TS]
01:42:11
◼
►
to have been removed just because they
[TS]
01:42:13
◼
►
thought people didn't use them enough
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
anymore or they were tired of shipping
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
them or something like and okay but you
[TS]
01:42:22
◼
►
know III really it's it's hard it's hard
[TS]
01:42:25
◼
►
to tell whether some of these things
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
were removed for good reasons that
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
benefit the customers or for reasons
[TS]
01:42:32
◼
►
that only benefit Apple for the benefit
[TS]
01:42:34
◼
►
nobody or we all know they just need to
[TS]
01:42:36
◼
►
add a second USB port to the adorable
[TS]
01:42:38
◼
►
Emma needs an SD card reader to the big
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
giant expensive 15-inch and like and
[TS]
01:42:42
◼
►
then maybe put four ports on the escape
[TS]
01:42:44
◼
►
and we're all happy like that we're not
[TS]
01:42:45
◼
►
asking for the moon here you know again
[TS]
01:42:47
◼
►
you're not gonna be even a part of these
[TS]
01:42:48
◼
►
things but if you had for us BC on the
[TS]
01:42:50
◼
►
escape you'd be able to get over a lot
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
of the weird USBC ecosystems you'd be
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
like well whatever I'll get four dongles
[TS]
01:42:56
◼
►
and plug them all in and power right and
[TS]
01:42:58
◼
►
on the escape you know it is super thin
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
you don't have room for much of anything
[TS]
01:43:02
◼
►
but you know how about a second second
[TS]
01:43:04
◼
►
port you know maybe if there'd be
[TS]
01:43:06
◼
►
computer than that it's fine and on the
[TS]
01:43:07
◼
►
big giant 15-inch that has everything in
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
SD card plus 5 USB see who's going to
[TS]
01:43:12
◼
►
complain about that you can probably
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
still complain about the audio and being
[TS]
01:43:15
◼
►
missing although I think any analog
[TS]
01:43:17
◼
►
input at this point is crazy so it'd
[TS]
01:43:18
◼
►
have to be the optical one with a little
[TS]
01:43:19
◼
►
you know little light at the end of the
[TS]
01:43:21
◼
►
thing they get rid of optical too and
[TS]
01:43:22
◼
►
all the new MacBook Pros they used to be
[TS]
01:43:24
◼
►
the hybrid Jack that that has the
[TS]
01:43:26
◼
►
optical out they've also the IMAX
[TS]
01:43:27
◼
►
getting rhythm - which is unfortunate
[TS]
01:43:29
◼
►
because I use mine but oh well that's
[TS]
01:43:31
◼
►
the that I only pick certain battles
[TS]
01:43:34
◼
►
yeah I think they're saying that the you
[TS]
01:43:36
◼
►
know digital audio through USB is the
[TS]
01:43:38
◼
►
way to go like I'm all like I said I'm
[TS]
01:43:39
◼
►
all on board with the USB see is they
[TS]
01:43:41
◼
►
are tiny just you please give us more of
[TS]
01:43:44
◼
►
them or I suppose Apple can come up with
[TS]
01:43:46
◼
►
some kind of reliable hub because you're
[TS]
01:43:48
◼
►
on you know I suggest the Thunderbolt
[TS]
01:43:50
◼
►
tub is a solution to your problem but
[TS]
01:43:52
◼
►
you know it's not the type of thing
[TS]
01:43:54
◼
►
you'd want to order a week before going
[TS]
01:43:55
◼
►
to WWC even cross your fingers that
[TS]
01:43:57
◼
►
thing doesn't flake out because as we
[TS]
01:43:58
◼
►
all know hubs are notoriously flaky and
[TS]
01:44:01
◼
►
exactly it would be nice if every nice
[TS]
01:44:04
◼
►
of Apple didn't leave this as a third
[TS]
01:44:07
◼
►
party opportunity for those things but
[TS]
01:44:08
◼
►
so yeah they're close like I think the
[TS]
01:44:10
◼
►
lines are close on you know their laptop
[TS]
01:44:13
◼
►
lines are close on the things they're
[TS]
01:44:14
◼
►
including and again like
[TS]
01:44:15
◼
►
that a couple shows ago I'm glad they
[TS]
01:44:17
◼
►
put us ba on the iMac because it's not
[TS]
01:44:19
◼
►
like there's not room for it back there
[TS]
01:44:20
◼
►
plenty room and boys in it convenient to
[TS]
01:44:23
◼
►
not have even more dongles hanging off
[TS]
01:44:25
◼
►
the back of your fancy new iMac and I'm
[TS]
01:44:29
◼
►
still pinning my hopes on those
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
statements that whoever was said during
[TS]
01:44:32
◼
►
the Mac roundtable about the Mac bro
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
that they're thinking about you know
[TS]
01:44:36
◼
►
MacBook Pros that address some of the
[TS]
01:44:38
◼
►
customer use needs the easy answer is
[TS]
01:44:40
◼
►
guess what you already saw those they
[TS]
01:44:42
◼
►
mount some of WWC how do you like them
[TS]
01:44:43
◼
►
but I'm still holding out hope like know
[TS]
01:44:45
◼
►
they they meant they're gonna add SD
[TS]
01:44:48
◼
►
card to the 15-inch right right no me I
[TS]
01:44:51
◼
►
wouldn't count on that
[TS]
01:44:52
◼
►
oh it could happen if it's that we huh
[TS]
01:44:54
◼
►
there's so much room for it there also
[TS]
01:44:57
◼
►
one thing I want to argue about your
[TS]
01:44:59
◼
►
Thunderbolt hub thing for a second here
[TS]
01:45:01
◼
►
so so people in the chat pasted this
[TS]
01:45:04
◼
►
link to apparently the Belkin did make a
[TS]
01:45:06
◼
►
Thunderbolt 3 hub so first of all it's
[TS]
01:45:09
◼
►
three hundred and fifty dollars and this
[TS]
01:45:11
◼
►
is not just the one time like almost
[TS]
01:45:13
◼
►
every Thunderbolt hub that has ever
[TS]
01:45:15
◼
►
existed that actually is Thunderbolt
[TS]
01:45:17
◼
►
base and not just USB they're almost all
[TS]
01:45:20
◼
►
like three hundred dollar range like in
[TS]
01:45:21
◼
►
that ballpark so so it's like it like so
[TS]
01:45:25
◼
►
the the the reason this is not a
[TS]
01:45:26
◼
►
solution number one is that it's very
[TS]
01:45:29
◼
►
expensive and number two is that it adds
[TS]
01:45:33
◼
►
all ports that aren't USB sea ports it
[TS]
01:45:36
◼
►
heads USB AAA ports you know Ethernet
[TS]
01:45:39
◼
►
just DisplayPort homes just and then two
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
Thunderbolt 2 ports well who needs that
[TS]
01:45:45
◼
►
like if you're moving to this new
[TS]
01:45:47
◼
►
ecosystem you want Thunderbolt 3 devices
[TS]
01:45:49
◼
►
that use USB C so like and and on top of
[TS]
01:45:52
◼
►
that it needs its own giant power supply
[TS]
01:45:54
◼
►
and they tell you just as like as like a
[TS]
01:45:57
◼
►
geek wisdom thing one of one of the
[TS]
01:46:01
◼
►
biggest reasons why many like
[TS]
01:46:04
◼
►
peripherals or you know things like
[TS]
01:46:06
◼
►
peripherals why they often fail or suck
[TS]
01:46:09
◼
►
is crappy or unreliable AC DC power
[TS]
01:46:13
◼
►
supplies like it basically if your thing
[TS]
01:46:16
◼
►
is not bus powered if it is powered by
[TS]
01:46:18
◼
►
its own external power brick not only
[TS]
01:46:20
◼
►
does that make your desk and stuff
[TS]
01:46:22
◼
►
Messier but also it is way more likely
[TS]
01:46:25
◼
►

bricks are crap
[TS]
01:46:29
◼

they oh they're always crap and the the
[TS]
01:46:31
◼
►
the one thing you do not want is to rely
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
on one of those power bricks or to
[TS]
01:46:35
◼
►
introduce them into your setup and cause
[TS]
01:46:36
◼
►
possible like you know noise or
[TS]
01:46:38
◼
►
interference or they always suck they're
[TS]
01:46:40
◼
►
always cheap pieces of crap and so
[TS]
01:46:42
◼

anything you can do to avoid needing
[TS]
01:46:44
◼

external power into a peripheral you
[TS]
01:46:46
◼
►
will be better off for it
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
but then also that also means that USB
[TS]
01:46:49
◼
►
hubs you know are often either unpowered
[TS]
01:46:53
◼
►
which sucks then you plug in devices not
[TS]
01:46:55
◼
►
enough power or you know they they need
[TS]
01:46:58
◼
►
these these things or they only have
[TS]
01:46:59
◼

like two ports you know so it's like any
[TS]
01:47:00
◼

of these hub solutions almost always
[TS]
01:47:03
◼

suck the way to make you the USBC
[TS]
01:47:06
◼
►
ecosystem not suck is to a have just
[TS]
01:47:11
◼
►
have as many of these ports on the
[TS]
01:47:12
◼
►
computers as you can fit and as the
[TS]
01:47:14
◼
►
chipset can power and drive like step
[TS]
01:47:16
◼
►
one try to avoid the need for hubs at
[TS]
01:47:19
◼
►
all because what what the correct answer
[TS]
01:47:22
◼
►
if you're arguing for the USB see future
[TS]
01:47:24
◼
►
slash now it's really the present if
[TS]
01:47:27
◼
►
you're arguing for the USB see world you
[TS]
01:47:30
◼
►
should be totally accommodating and it
[TS]
01:47:33
◼
►
should be awesome for people who are
[TS]
01:47:36
◼
►
willing to go out and buy USB see
[TS]
01:47:39
◼
►
everything like look you okay so you
[TS]
01:47:42
◼
►
bought a new laptop I bought my laptop
[TS]
01:47:43
◼
►
like I went out and I bought a USB
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
Ethernet adapter and a USB see SD card
[TS]
01:47:48
◼
►
reader and USB see lightning cables and
[TS]
01:47:50
◼
►
like because I'm like you know if I'm
[TS]
01:47:52
◼
►
gonna do this I'm going to go all-in I'm
[TS]
01:47:54
◼
►
gonna get all USB USB see stuff but if
[TS]
01:47:57
◼
►
you do that now it still sucks because
[TS]
01:48:00
◼
►
there's still no like USB C port
[TS]
01:48:01
◼
►
multiplier hubs out there as we said
[TS]
01:48:04
◼
►
earlier so like you still have to live
[TS]
01:48:05
◼
►
in this weird mixed world and you're
[TS]
01:48:07
◼
►
dealing with all these unreliable hubs
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
with crappy Amazon reviews that are made
[TS]
01:48:10
◼
►
by no-name companies and even the ones
[TS]
01:48:12
◼
►
from good companies like anchor have
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
terrible reviews and it's like it just
[TS]
01:48:16
◼
►
seems like this whole world of like of
[TS]
01:48:18
◼
►
USB see relies currently today on this
[TS]
01:48:22
◼
►
ecosystem of crappy hubs that kind of
[TS]
01:48:25
◼
►
ruin the whole thing like once you go
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
beyond the ports in your computer and so
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
what we need is for the computers to
[TS]
01:48:32
◼
►
need fewer hubs a by having more ports
[TS]
01:48:34
◼
►
and B we need good hubs and I know this
[TS]
01:48:38
◼
►
is like this is not an exciting topic
[TS]
01:48:40
◼
►
but like think about how long it took
[TS]
01:48:43
◼
►
to find good usb3 hubs like just with us
[TS]
01:48:46
◼
►
be a port on it I mean it took I don't
[TS]
01:48:47
◼
►
know if you guys have good ones it took
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
me like two years to find a good USB 3
[TS]
01:48:51
◼
►
hub that didn't flake out and like
[TS]
01:48:53
◼
►
disconnect drives randomly that were
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
plugged into it and stuff like that
[TS]
01:48:55
◼
►
still today USB 3 which is now
[TS]
01:48:58
◼
►
comparably ancient very few hubs are
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
good but there are a few that exist
[TS]
01:49:03
◼
►
we need good USB C hubs now and we as
[TS]
01:49:06
◼
►
far as I can tell from the world out
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
there I don't think we have any that
[TS]
01:49:10
◼
►
actually give you more USB seaports let
[TS]
01:49:12
◼
►
alone good ones and the ones that give
[TS]
01:49:14
◼
►
you different ports again as I mentioned
[TS]
01:49:15
◼
►
they they don't seem to be consistently
[TS]
01:49:18
◼
►
good and so if this role is going to
[TS]
01:49:21
◼
►
happen if this is going to actually take
[TS]
01:49:23
◼
►
off we need those two things we need
[TS]
01:49:24
◼
►
more ports and laptops I mean great hubs
[TS]
01:49:26
◼
►
and until that happens it's going to be
[TS]
01:49:30
◼
►
really a pain to have a USB see devices
[TS]
01:49:33
◼
►
and I kind of feel like would it kill
[TS]
01:49:36
◼
►
Apple to make a good hub like I know
[TS]
01:49:39
◼
►
it's the most boring Apple product in
[TS]
01:49:40
◼
►
the world but they make boring stuff
[TS]
01:49:41
◼
►
sometimes I call their little adapters
[TS]
01:49:43
◼
►
and cable like they make other boring
[TS]
01:49:44
◼
►
stuff that would enable this like if
[TS]
01:49:46
◼
►
Apple just made like a decently you know
[TS]
01:49:49
◼
►
one to four USB see hub that would be
[TS]
01:49:53
◼
►
great like because I think we have seen
[TS]
01:49:56
◼
►
the entire rest of the electronics world
[TS]
01:49:58
◼
►
they have shown us over the last like
[TS]
01:50:00
◼
►
decade they can't do this like they they
[TS]
01:50:03
◼
►
cannot do this reliably that the entire
[TS]
01:50:06
◼
►
consumer electronics industry is not
[TS]
01:50:08
◼
►
capable of putting out reliable USB hubs
[TS]
01:50:11
◼
►
like we're lucky if we can find one
[TS]
01:50:13
◼
►
model of one sometimes that works for a
[TS]
01:50:16
◼
►
for God's sakes Apple just give us a USB
[TS]
01:50:18
◼
►
hub okay but talk with a TP tipster
[TS]
01:50:21
◼
►
you're our only hope

[TS]
01:51:42
◼

way the only way we complete follow-up

is by ceasing to record the show anymore

[TS]
01:52:39
◼
►
people I bet a lot of people have gotten
[TS]
01:52:40
◼
►
the episode yet that's possible give
[TS]
01:52:42
◼
►
them time and speaking of getting flack
[TS]
01:52:44
◼
►
we had one at one of us one of the three
[TS]
01:52:48
◼
►
of us was very bitter a couple of days
[TS]
01:52:51
◼
►
ago and one of the three of us had
[TS]
01:52:54
◼
►
committed the ultimate ATP sin which is
[TS]
01:52:58
◼
►
not getting title case correct because I
[TS]
01:53:02
◼
►
tell you the audio could be totally
[TS]
01:53:05
◼
►
garbage in an episode and that would be
[TS]
01:53:07
◼
►
less offensive to one of my co-hosts
[TS]
01:53:10
◼
►
than the title case being in credit that
[TS]
01:53:12
◼
►
is not the case at all I can care about
[TS]
01:53:14
◼
►
more than one thing at once
[TS]
01:53:15
◼
►
I like good audio quality correct Idol
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
case those two things get it was
[TS]
01:53:20
◼
►
particularly frustrating because we
[TS]
01:53:21
◼
►
discussed on the show hey don't forget
[TS]
01:53:24
◼
►
to use title case which letters should
[TS]
01:53:26
◼
►
be capital just use the website then
[TS]
01:53:28
◼
►
Marco decided you know what I don't like
[TS]
01:53:30
◼
►
what the website said I have different
[TS]
01:53:32
◼
►
opinions about what title case should be
[TS]
01:53:33
◼
►
and he changed the title and I see it in
[TS]
01:53:35
◼
►
my feed with the capital F and for
[TS]
01:53:37
◼
►
and it stabs my eyes like daggers so
[TS]
01:53:42
◼
►
anyway I am blaming Marco for this if
[TS]
01:53:44
◼
►
you look the title of our show and said
[TS]
01:53:45
◼
►
boys yes dunno how use title case no
[TS]
01:53:47
◼
►
just Margo yep I take full
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
responsibility i I looked at the way it
[TS]
01:53:53
◼
►
was capitalized and I thought that does
[TS]
01:53:54
◼
►
not look right
[TS]
01:53:55
◼
►
that's exactly how grammar works you're
[TS]
01:53:57
◼
►
right you did it this bar doesn't look
[TS]
01:54:01
◼
►
like it's spelled right I'm gonna change
[TS]
01:54:03
◼
►
first of all spelling and stylistic
[TS]
01:54:06
◼
►
capitalization are very different things
[TS]
01:54:08
◼
►
secondly there there are there are many
[TS]
01:54:11
◼
►
rules of both grammar and for things
[TS]
01:54:14
◼
►
like style manuals for publications many
[TS]
01:54:17
◼
►
rules that like with permission you
[TS]
01:54:22
◼
►
sometimes can break like if you know
[TS]
01:54:24
◼
►
what you're doing and you'd like you
[TS]
01:54:27
◼
►
know you're breaking the rule but you
[TS]
01:54:28
◼
►
decide like the rule is wrong here you
[TS]
01:54:31
◼
►
can break you've drifted from alright
[TS]
01:54:34
◼
►
stylistic breaks and know what you're
[TS]
01:54:36
◼
►
doing - just deciding that the rule is
[TS]
01:54:38
◼
►
wrong and those are two different things
[TS]
01:54:39
◼
►
that feel like one is like there's it is
[TS]
01:54:42
◼
►
competing belief systems that you
[TS]
01:54:44
◼
►
understand the nuances of you choose
[TS]
01:54:46
◼
►
among them and the other is I don't know
[TS]
01:54:47
◼
►
too much about this that seems wrong to
[TS]
01:54:49
◼
►
me it's so so for you know for listeners
[TS]
01:54:52
◼
►
who are not aware looking at the list
[TS]
01:54:55
◼
►
episodes basically the last title the
[TS]
01:54:59
◼
►
last episode was what was for suckers
[TS]
01:55:00
◼
►
something which was ogres scrolling
[TS]
01:55:02
◼
►
scrolling is for suckers and title case
[TS]
01:55:05
◼
►
calm the website that we've used that we
[TS]
01:55:07
◼
►
agreed upon is our like title case
[TS]
01:55:09
◼
►
capitalization Authority it capitalizes
[TS]
01:55:12
◼
►
in the phrase title case or smooth
[TS]
01:55:15
◼
►
scrolling is for suckers it capitalizes
[TS]
01:55:17
◼
►
that is and not the four because four I
[TS]
01:55:21
◼
►
guess I guess it probably has a ruled
[TS]
01:55:23
◼
►
not to capitalize prepositions but to
[TS]
01:55:25
◼
►
always capitalized verbs that's my guess
[TS]
01:55:27
◼
►
right so is is the verb so you
[TS]
01:55:30
◼
►
capitalize that but then for you don't
[TS]
01:55:32
◼
►
and I thought having every single word
[TS]
01:55:35
◼
►
capitalized in that and not the four
[TS]
01:55:37
◼
►
looked wrong like having the is
[TS]
01:55:39
◼
►
capitalized and not the four and I tried
[TS]
01:55:42
◼
►
making both of them lowercase but that
[TS]
01:55:44
◼
►
didn't look right either and I made it
[TS]
01:55:47
◼
►
both of them capital and that looked the
[TS]
01:55:49
◼
►
least wrong of all the things that we
[TS]
01:55:51
◼
►
so let's see the thing with style guides
[TS]
01:55:53
◼
►
is you have agreed upon set of roles
[TS]
01:55:55
◼
►
that you use and you can change the
[TS]
01:55:57
◼
►
style guide but you can't say for this
[TS]
01:55:59
◼
►
instance I'm gonna ignore the style goes
[TS]
01:56:00
◼
►
why I have to have the style guide then
[TS]
01:56:02
◼
►
right so you know it's like consistency
[TS]
01:56:04
◼
►
and and takis calm I do not hold up is
[TS]
01:56:07
◼
►
like it's not how I would capitalize it
[TS]
01:56:09
◼
►
either like I would do it differently if
[TS]
01:56:11
◼
►
I was Howell you know but this was just
[TS]
01:56:12
◼
►
the tiebreaker it's like to make KC's
[TS]
01:56:14
◼
►
life easy so he doesn't have to guess
[TS]
01:56:15
◼
►
and we don't have to discuss it just go
[TS]
01:56:17
◼
►
to this website and the websites gonna
[TS]
01:56:18
◼
►
do stuff that we don't agree with but
[TS]
01:56:20
◼
►
it's just consistent are you not able to
[TS]
01:56:22
◼
►
deviate from the thing that you decided
[TS]
01:56:24
◼
►
is consistent if you think it's wrong
[TS]
01:56:26
◼
►
but I think it's wrong to I would do
[TS]
01:56:28
◼
►
lowercase I and lowercase F that's what
[TS]
