254: Hot Box With Knobs
02:00:00

►
down and build it and new let's go all
[TS]
02:00:02
◼
►
in on something along the lines of
[TS]
02:00:04
◼
►
functional reactive programming and
[TS]
02:00:05
◼
►
maybe that's not the actual answer but
[TS]
02:00:07
◼
►
something that dramatic do you think
[TS]
02:00:09
◼
►
that it would be something that big if
[TS]
02:00:11
◼
►
this this hypothetical H I kit or do you
[TS]
02:00:14
◼
►
think it would be something much closer
[TS]
02:00:16
◼
►
to a shim and let me start with Marco on
[TS]
02:00:19
◼
►
this to be all cocoa bindings Oh God I I
[TS]
02:00:24
◼
►
don't honestly like I'm not hugely into
[TS]
02:00:26
◼
►
the whole reactive thing like I kind of
[TS]
02:00:28
◼
►
do my own thing with with that but of
[TS]
02:00:31
◼
►
course but so I I'm not entirely
[TS]
02:00:35
◼
►
convinced that that is the inevitable
[TS]
02:00:36
◼
►
forward sure you know place to go but
[TS]
02:00:39
◼
►
but whatever the answer whatever the
[TS]
02:00:41
◼
►
yeah so the if you if just the larger
[TS]
02:00:43
◼
►
question of like would they
[TS]
02:00:44
◼
►
fundamentally change like design
[TS]
02:00:47
◼
►
patterns of of the way to do UI
[TS]
02:00:49
◼
►
framework exactly it depends on like do
[TS]
02:00:52
◼
►
they want to also like blow up iOS as
[TS]
02:00:56
◼
►
well because if the idea of this is to
[TS]
02:00:58
◼
►
make developing for the Mac more like
[TS]
02:01:02
◼
►
iOS then no they shouldn't move on in
[TS]
02:01:06
◼
►
such a major way because that isn't how
[TS]
02:01:08
◼
►
I OS works but if the goal of this is to
[TS]
02:01:11
◼
►
be like the next generation unified UI
[TS]
02:01:14
◼
►
framework for all of their platforms if
[TS]
02:01:18
◼
►
possibly making it Swift only then sure
[TS]
02:01:20
◼
►
that would make sense like it would it
[TS]
02:01:21
◼
►
would make the most sense to design it
[TS]
02:01:25
◼
►
in a way that takes maximum advantage
[TS]
02:01:28
◼
►
and fits in best with the design of the
[TS]
02:01:30
◼
►
Swift language which has which would
[TS]
02:01:33
◼
►
come with lots of changes that that
[TS]
02:01:35
◼
►
don't work the same way because like so
[TS]
02:01:37
◼
►
much of ab kit and UI kit is based on
[TS]
02:01:39
◼
►
the way objective-c works and is and is
[TS]
02:01:42
◼
►
designed because you know they were it
[TS]
02:01:44
◼
►
was it was always language it was
[TS]
02:01:46
◼
►
designed with that in mind and it was
[TS]
02:01:48
◼
►
designed with a lot of C idioms and
[TS]
02:01:49
◼
►
things that work very well with fictive
[TS]
02:01:51
◼
►
C with Swift there's a lot of weird
[TS]
02:01:54
◼
►
friction when you when you try to you
[TS]
02:01:56
◼
►
know when you when you use UI kit and a
[TS]
02:01:58
◼
►
lot of Apple frameworks from Swift you
[TS]
02:02:00
◼
►
can tell like this really wasn't
[TS]
02:02:02
◼
►
designed for this and it's it's not as
[TS]
02:02:04
◼
►
good as it could be or it doesn't
[TS]
02:02:05
◼
►
doesn't quite fit in right doesn't feel
[TS]
02:02:07
◼
►
right or or is not as graceful as it
[TS]
02:02:09
◼
►
could be so if they're going to move
[TS]
02:02:12
◼
►
forward and make this like the
[TS]
02:02:13
◼
►
new swift only thing that is our our
[TS]
02:02:16
◼
►
modern you know answer it like this is
[TS]
02:02:19
◼
►
gonna be for the next 15 years framework
[TS]
02:02:21
◼
►
then yeah change a lot to make it more
[TS]
02:02:23
◼
►
Swift like I don't not necessarily like
[TS]
02:02:25
◼
►
functional reactive I don't you know
[TS]
02:02:26
◼
►
sure sure
[TS]
02:02:27
◼
►
but just make it more Swift like you
[TS]
02:02:29
◼
►
know make it ideal for Swift but if
[TS]
02:02:31
◼
►
they're going for let's make it as easy
[TS]
02:02:33
◼
►
as possible for existing iOS developers
[TS]
02:02:35
◼
►
to also make mac apps then I then not
[TS]
02:02:39
◼
►
necessarily so you have to I think I
[TS]
02:02:42
◼
►
look at when you talk about UI kit and
[TS]
02:02:44
◼
►
even app get for that matter any
[TS]
02:02:46
◼
►
framework like that that lives for a
[TS]
02:02:48
◼
►
long time evolves and you can see like
[TS]
02:02:51
◼
►
as you look down through the layers of
[TS]
02:02:52
◼
►
like how things have changed like as in
[TS]
02:02:56
◼
►
case point out before before you know
[TS]
02:02:59
◼
►
closures were a thing everything was you
[TS]
02:03:01
◼
►
know straight up delegation and then
[TS]
02:03:03
◼
►
suddenly when closures were a thing even
[TS]
02:03:05
◼
►
setting aside Swift it was like oh now a
[TS]
02:03:07
◼
►
bunch of new api's are coming take a
[TS]
02:03:09
◼
►
call back right and they take a closure
[TS]
02:03:11
◼
►
as an argument and that becomes the
[TS]
02:03:12
◼
►
pattern that you start to see you don't
[TS]
02:03:14
◼
►
see it everywhere you the old api's
[TS]
02:03:16
◼
►
don't have it but they introduced new
[TS]
02:03:17
◼
►
api is they do have it and so you know
[TS]
02:03:19
◼
►
each new year WWC the framework that you
[TS]
02:03:23
◼
►
new slowly changes and evolves whatever
[TS]
02:03:27
◼
►
the next framework is the the most
[TS]
02:03:30
◼
►
conservative answer is take whatever the
[TS]
02:03:33
◼
►
the current best thinking about you I
[TS]
02:03:35
◼
►
kid is not like make it like you I kid
[TS]
02:03:37
◼
►
exactly because there are parts of UI
[TS]
02:03:39
◼
►
kit that have been updated to use the
[TS]
02:03:42
◼
►
current best thinking and you know the
[TS]
02:03:43
◼
►
closure is an example of like and that
[TS]
02:03:45
◼
►
happens to fit was Swift because if it's
[TS]
02:03:47
◼
►
native support for that and you don't
[TS]
02:03:48
◼
►
have to use this stupid block syntax and
[TS]
02:03:50
◼
►
all the other stuff but make all of the
[TS]
02:03:53
◼
►
new api's use the current best thinking
[TS]
02:03:56
◼
►
and I don't think that actually entirely
[TS]
02:03:59
◼
►
precludes a larger change because if you
[TS]
02:04:04
◼
►
keep doing that like over time we
[TS]
02:04:05
◼
►
introduce new API is with new thinking
[TS]
02:04:07
◼
►
and there's a new language in the mix
[TS]
02:04:08
◼
►
and it evolves and evolves and evolves
[TS]
02:04:10
◼
►
eventually you get to deprecated or just
[TS]
02:04:12
◼
►
never use the really old really weird
[TS]
02:04:14
◼
►
api's so if your starting point is the
[TS]
02:04:18
◼
►
current best modern thinking UI kit with
[TS]
02:04:21
◼
►
maybe some minor tweaks you get a lot of
[TS]
02:04:23
◼
►
the benefit of people being who are
[TS]
02:04:24
◼
►
familiar with you I kept being able to
[TS]
02:04:25
◼
►
use that because people are familiar
[TS]
02:04:27
◼
►
with uikit presumably you're somewhat
[TS]
02:04:29
◼
►
up-to-date on and don't say I only know
[TS]
02:04:32
◼
►
how to use the uikit api's introduced in
[TS]
02:04:33
◼
►
like iOS 2 and I never learned anything
[TS]
02:04:36
◼
►
after and I don't know what a closure is
[TS]
02:04:37
◼
►
and I'm really confused right I don't
[TS]
02:04:39
◼
►
know anything about all these properties
[TS]
02:04:41
◼
►
syntax and all those animations stuff
[TS]
02:04:43
◼
►
let's all tint colors I don't know what
[TS]
02:04:44
◼
►
that is of course they have to know they
[TS]
02:04:45
◼
►
have to know the modern ones too so and
[TS]
02:04:47
◼
►
that's your starting point you can bring
[TS]
02:04:49
◼
►
those people along now with the with the
[TS]
02:04:51
◼
►
whole reactor thing it's like that's not
[TS]
02:04:52
◼
►
something you can gradually add that's
[TS]
02:04:53
◼
►
kind of a paradigm shift and that is
[TS]
02:04:55
◼
►
it's a tougher sell but even that you
[TS]
02:04:58
◼
►
could you could pitch that to you know
[TS]
02:05:00
◼
►
pretend the Mac doesn't exist and it's
[TS]
02:05:01
◼
►
just UI kit eventually in the lifetime
[TS]
02:05:03
◼
►
of you I kid if you're thinking inside
[TS]
02:05:05
◼
►
Apple is that there's a better way to
[TS]
02:05:06
◼
►
design you eyes with you know whatever
[TS]
02:05:09
◼
►
reactive paradigm or whatever some
[TS]
02:05:11
◼
►
functional thing or something entirely
[TS]
02:05:12
◼
►
different they could roll that out just
[TS]
02:05:14
◼
►
in UI kit to say a bunch of new api's
[TS]
02:05:17
◼
►
are gonna be using this thing and we
[TS]
02:05:18
◼
►
have a new view system and more you know
[TS]
02:05:21
◼
►
Mac has had multiple view systems even
[TS]
02:05:23
◼
►
on Mac OS 10 it has multiple you know
[TS]
02:05:25
◼
►
head carbon and it had cocoa and they
[TS]
02:05:27
◼
►
coexisted for a while and one of them
[TS]
02:05:29
◼
►
faded away it's not impossible to have
[TS]
02:05:30
◼
►
two paradigms in the same platform and
[TS]
02:05:33
◼
►
slowly transition to another one so I
[TS]
02:05:34
◼
►
don't think anything Apple does
[TS]
02:05:35
◼
►
precludes switching to something better
[TS]
02:05:38
◼
►
but I think the main reason they won't
[TS]
02:05:39
◼
►
is there are two reasons one I'm not I
[TS]
02:05:42
◼
►
don't think Apple is convinced that
[TS]
02:05:44
◼
►
there is a better power this case you
[TS]
02:05:47
◼
►
may be convinced by convinced it like
[TS]
02:05:49
◼
►
there is a better paradigm that is
[TS]
02:05:51
◼
►
better enough to take the hit for it and
[TS]
02:05:54
◼
►
be like they can they can defer that
[TS]
02:05:57
◼
►
they could say use the current best
[TS]
02:05:59
◼
►
thinking and UI kit plus whatever the
[TS]
02:06:01
◼
►
current best thing that we don't know
[TS]
02:06:01
◼
►
about is they're doing inside Apple
[TS]
02:06:03
◼
►
right because there's always something
[TS]
02:06:04
◼
►
every year right and make that the
[TS]
02:06:06
◼
►
starting point of view new framework and
[TS]
02:06:08
◼
►
then go from there and I don't wrap this
[TS]
02:06:12
◼
►
office running along the one one final
[TS]
02:06:13
◼
►
thing I think is worth voicing
[TS]
02:06:14
◼
►
especially from the concerns of Mac
[TS]
02:06:16
◼
►
users I mentioned photos apps and and
[TS]
02:06:18
◼
►
how they feel kind of weird that's
[TS]
02:06:20
◼
►
another way that this can all go wrong
[TS]
02:06:21
◼
►
if they no matter what solution they use
[TS]
02:06:23
◼
►
if it lets experience iOS developers
[TS]
02:06:28
◼
►
target the Mac but the applications they
[TS]
02:06:31
◼
►
create are all like photos essentially
[TS]
02:06:34
◼
►
like that they feel weird and non Mac
[TS]
02:06:36
◼
►
like and are unsatisfying
[TS]
02:06:37
◼
►
I don't think that will be a very big
[TS]
02:06:41
◼
►
success because as few Mac users as
[TS]
02:06:44
◼
►
there mate as there maybe and even Mac
[TS]
02:06:46
◼
►
users who have no idea what it means to
[TS]
02:06:48
◼
►
be quote-unquote Mac type Mac like you
[TS]
02:06:51
◼
►
know people who have no idea what
[TS]
02:06:52
◼
►
electron is or no idea what makes Lac
[TS]
02:06:54
◼
►
weird they feel they feel the the
[TS]
02:06:58
◼
►
friction and the weirdness even if they
[TS]
02:07:00
◼
►
can't identify it even with something
[TS]
02:07:01
◼
►
like chrome versus Safari I think that's
[TS]
02:07:03
◼
►
a real thing that people can feel and I
[TS]
02:07:07
◼
►
and I think the Mac enthusiasts are
[TS]
02:07:11
◼
►
actually an important subset of the Mac
[TS]
02:07:13
◼
►
market at a proportion of their of their
[TS]
02:07:15
◼
►
the money that they give or whatever
[TS]
02:07:17
◼
►
rights the whole reason the Mac Pro
[TS]
02:07:18
◼
►
exists or will exist eventually and I
[TS]
02:07:22
◼
►
think that is a really it's gonna be one
[TS]
02:07:26
◼
►
of the hardest things to avoid yes let
[TS]
02:07:28
◼
►
people retarget their skills to the Mac
[TS]
02:07:30
◼
►
but how how are you gonna get them to
[TS]
02:07:32
◼
►
make applications that are satisfying
[TS]
02:07:34
◼
►
Mac applications that's a really tall
[TS]
02:07:37
◼
►
order both because iOS users don't know
[TS]
02:07:39
◼
►
how to make a satisfying Mac application
[TS]
02:07:41
◼
►
because they never have before
[TS]
02:07:42
◼
►
and because a lot of things you can do
[TS]
02:07:44
◼
►
to make it easier for them leave them
[TS]
02:07:46
◼
►
down the path to an application that is
[TS]
02:07:48
◼
►
like an iOS application that you can use
[TS]
02:07:50
◼
►
a mouse cursor with and that's not good
[TS]
02:07:52
◼
►
that's no good boss
[TS]
02:07:54
◼
►
well but I mean I would argue it's
[TS]
02:07:56
◼
►
better than not having these apps is it
[TS]
02:07:57
◼
►
though like I was saying I don't know if
[TS]
02:07:59
◼
►
it's better than not having the apps it
[TS]
02:08:00
◼
►
like is it better than just letting the
[TS]
02:08:01
◼
►
Mac platform die I would rather have a
[TS]
02:08:03
◼
►
good native 27 inch iPad pro application
[TS]
02:08:06
◼
►
than the bad iOS port to a 27 inch iMac
[TS]
02:08:10
◼
►
yet I mean like just sure well but I you
[TS]
02:08:13
◼
►
know keep in mind like whatever Mac apps
[TS]
02:08:15
◼
►
are in practice is what ends up being
[TS]
02:08:19
◼
►
you know the good Mac apps like it ends
[TS]
02:08:22
◼
►
up being the standard like I really
[TS]
02:08:24
◼
►
don't think we have a choice here I
[TS]
02:08:26
◼
►
think something like this has to happen
[TS]
02:08:28
◼
►
to keep the Mac alive and so if what if
[TS]
02:08:30
◼
►
what ends up being most Mac have people
[TS]
02:08:32
◼
►
use if those are more iOS II that will
[TS]
02:08:37
◼
►
just become what it feels like to be a
[TS]
02:08:39
◼
►
real to be a standard Mac app and that's
[TS]
02:08:42
◼
►
not what it means to be Mac life but I'm
[TS]
02:08:45
◼
►
just talking about like just straight-up
[TS]
02:08:46
◼
►
performance like that they feel laggy
[TS]
02:08:48
◼
►
and slow and not not powerful like they
[TS]
02:08:52
◼
►
don't have the features one part is a
[TS]
02:08:54
◼
►
feature set in a second is
[TS]
02:08:55
◼
►
they're that they're slow and weird and
[TS]
02:08:57
◼
►
is it because they're slow and weird
[TS]
02:08:58
◼
►
because the shim layer and they are the
[TS]
02:09:00
◼
►
missing features that we expect from a
[TS]
02:09:02
◼
►
cap because there are an iOS port and
[TS]
02:09:03
◼
►
those features don't fit or don't make
[TS]
02:09:05
◼
►
sense on iOS that's that's what I'm
[TS]
02:09:07
◼
►
talking about like and and you're
[TS]
02:09:08
◼
►
totally right to be super concerned
[TS]
02:09:10
◼
►
about that by using photos app as the
[TS]
02:09:12
◼
►
example of a cross-platform framework
[TS]
02:09:14
◼
►
but the reason why photos app on the Mac
[TS]
02:09:16
◼
►
is slow and weird and doesn't feel right
[TS]
02:09:20
◼
►
and it lacks so many features and drives
[TS]
02:09:22
◼
►
you nuts
[TS]
02:09:22
◼
►
it's because it is a terribly designed
[TS]
02:09:25
◼
►
app on so many levels and horribly
[TS]
02:09:28
◼
►
neglected all the time so it starts out
[TS]
02:09:31
◼
►
with a bad design they never change it
[TS]
02:09:33
◼
►
they never make it better in your your
[TS]
02:09:35
◼
►
explanation during our famous episode
[TS]
02:09:37
◼
►
number 223 throw the fork away was so
[TS]
02:09:40
◼
►
great so perfect the Photos app is a
[TS]
02:09:43
◼
►
terrible example of how to do
[TS]
02:09:45
◼
►
cross-platform frameworks it happens to
[TS]
02:09:47
◼
►
be built on a cross-platform framework
[TS]
02:09:48
◼
►
but it is a terrible design and that has
[TS]
02:09:52
◼
►
nothing to do with the framework it has
[TS]
02:09:53
◼
►
everything to do with the actual UI
[TS]
02:09:55
◼
►
design the flow of the app the things
[TS]
02:09:58
◼
►
like I do think it has to do with the
[TS]
02:10:00
◼
►
framework and that I know the flow in
[TS]
02:10:02
◼
►
the UI design is inherited in large part
[TS]
02:10:04
◼
►
from how photos works in iOS and then
[TS]
02:10:06
◼
►
they just added a couple little sidebars
[TS]
02:10:08
◼
►
here and there like it feels like an iOS
[TS]
02:10:10
◼
►
application in design wise no definitely
[TS]
02:10:13
◼
►
it is it is entirely because that is a
[TS]
02:10:16
◼
►
very badly designed app that was it's
[TS]
02:10:18
◼
►
designed by people who don't use it the
[TS]
02:10:20
◼
►
way anybody else uses it if at all and
[TS]
02:10:22
◼
►
it is designed to look good in demos not
[TS]
02:10:25
◼
►
to actually be used by human beings that
[TS]
02:10:28
◼
►
is not a problem with the framework
[TS]
02:10:29
◼
►
that's the problem with the just the
[TS]
02:10:30
◼
►
design of it it is slow and cumbersome
[TS]
02:10:34
◼
►
not because it copies iOS stuff but
[TS]
02:10:36
◼
►
because it has too many modes and too
[TS]
02:10:38
◼
►
many slow animations and it lacks
[TS]
02:10:40
◼
►
convenient keyboard shortcuts and like
[TS]
02:10:42
◼
►
but like it has those modes because
[TS]
02:10:44
◼
►
photos on iOS has to have the most
[TS]
02:10:46
◼
►
because you don't have over the room on
[TS]
02:10:47
◼
►
the screen for all that stuff so like
[TS]
02:10:48
◼
►
think about when you go to crop I'm
[TS]
02:10:49
◼
►
photos you got a little crop icon and
[TS]
02:10:51
◼
►
that or you go to like color or light
[TS]
02:10:52
◼
►
then you got all this something using
[TS]
02:10:54
◼
►
you eventually dig your way down to the
[TS]
02:10:55
◼
►
feature you want and it's a lot of taps
[TS]
02:10:57
◼
►
and why is it a lot of taps because
[TS]
02:10:58
◼
►
you're on a phone you don't have room to
[TS]
02:10:59
◼
►
have that stuff visible all the time but
[TS]
02:11:01
◼
►
you take that UI paradigm and you bring
[TS]
02:11:03
◼
►
it to the Mac and it's still a lot of
[TS]
02:11:05
◼
►
tap seeing like why you making this a
[TS]
02:11:06
◼
►
lot of apps like well
[TS]
02:11:08
◼
►
sort of how the codebase works and we
[TS]
02:11:10
◼
►
kind of added a sidebar here and there
[TS]
02:11:12
◼
►
but we didn't want to change too much
[TS]
02:11:13
◼
►
like isn't that the whole thing we don't
[TS]
02:11:14
◼
►
to change too much and we get a Mac
[TS]
02:11:16
◼
►
application out of it and it's like you
[TS]
02:11:17
◼
►
should have changed more that isn't the
[TS]
02:11:19
◼
►
whole thing like first of all the fact
[TS]
02:11:21
◼
►
that they use something called like UX
[TS]
02:11:23
◼
►
collectionview
[TS]
02:11:24
◼
►
doesn't make the design bad the fact
[TS]
02:11:26
◼
►
that their views are using UX color
[TS]
02:11:28
◼
►
instead of NS color and UI color that
[TS]
02:11:30
◼
►
doesn't like the that's what we're
[TS]
02:11:32
◼
►
asking for here is like give us like
[TS]
02:11:34
◼
►
stock widgets and stuff that we can use
[TS]
02:11:36
◼
►
them of the place but but the actual
[TS]
02:11:37
◼
►
interface layout and the choices they
[TS]
02:11:40
◼
►
made with all these different modes and
[TS]
02:11:41
◼
►
everything that's just a bad design off
[TS]
02:11:44
◼
►
for the Mac period and that has nothing
[TS]
02:11:46
◼
►
to do with the framework that is
[TS]
02:11:47
◼
►
entirely to do with laziness and bad
[TS]
02:11:49
◼
►
design but nobody doesn't have to do
[TS]
02:11:50
◼
►
with the framework it has to do it has
[TS]
02:11:52
◼
►
to do with the fact that the code base
[TS]
02:11:53
◼
►
came from an iOS app you started with an
[TS]
02:11:55
◼
►
iOS app and you're like I would like
[TS]
02:11:57
◼
►
this app on the Mac so that's you start
[TS]
02:11:58
◼
►
with that code base and that code base
[TS]
02:12:00
◼
►
works the way it works on the phone and
[TS]
02:12:02
◼
►
so you don't want it completely like
[TS]
02:12:03
◼
►
you're you're motivated not to change
[TS]
02:12:05
◼
►
too much about it right so it's yeah
[TS]
02:12:07
◼
►
it's not the framework it's not the fact
[TS]
02:12:08
◼
►
to use if you had written it from
[TS]
02:12:09
◼
►
scratch with the same framework as a Mac
[TS]
02:12:11
◼
►
app you would be fine but I my fear of
[TS]
02:12:14
◼
►
getting at here is that people have iOS
[TS]
02:12:16
◼
►
applications that they want to
[TS]
02:12:17
◼
►
essentially port to the Mac and they're
[TS]
02:12:19
◼
►
not starting from scratch and figuring
[TS]
02:12:21
◼
►
out how to make a good mac app they're
[TS]
02:12:23
◼
►
starting from their iOS app and mutating
[TS]
02:12:25
◼
►
it until they feel like it's more or
[TS]
02:12:28
◼
►
less a madcap and so the Photos app
[TS]
02:12:30
◼
►
feels like the iOS Photos app mutated
[TS]
02:12:33
◼
►
just enough to masquerade as a Mac
[TS]
02:12:35
◼
►
application and you're totally right
[TS]
02:12:37
◼
►
that's not the fault of the framework
[TS]
02:12:38
◼
►
it's not the fault of you even you
[TS]
02:12:40
◼
►
execute or anything like that it is the
[TS]
02:12:41
◼
►
fault of the fact that they that it is
[TS]
02:12:43
◼
►
essentially a port and that you start
[TS]
02:12:45
◼
►
with one code base and you change it and
[TS]
02:12:47
◼
►
you know you don't start over from
[TS]
02:12:49
◼
►
scratch right and way too long here but
[TS]
02:12:52
◼
►
but one of the things that Craig
[TS]
02:12:54
◼
►
Hockenberry was pointing out about like
[TS]
02:12:55
◼
►
Twitter if ik where icon factory wrote
[TS]
02:12:58
◼
►
their own framework to basically be
[TS]
02:13:00
◼
►
UIKit on the Mac what was called
[TS]
02:13:01
◼
►
chameleon or something yep right so they
[TS]
02:13:04
◼
►
have experience doing that hey let's
[TS]
02:13:05
◼
►
write a framework on the Mac but the API
[TS]
02:13:06
◼
►
has all look like UI kit they did that
[TS]
02:13:08
◼
►
and they also did let's make a mac
[TS]
02:13:12
◼
►
version of an iOS application and we'll
[TS]
02:13:14
◼
►
do it by cleanly and slightly painfully
[TS]
02:13:17
◼
►
because you know programmers aren't
[TS]
02:13:18
◼
►
perfect separating the internals from
[TS]
02:13:22
◼
►
which all programmers are supposed to be
[TS]
02:13:23
◼
►
doing but until you actually try to
[TS]
02:13:24
◼
►
separate them with a big scissors you
[TS]
02:13:26
◼
►
realize how much your crap has leaked
[TS]
02:13:28
◼
►
into each other like it's life right
[TS]
02:13:29
◼
►
and according to Craig the second
[TS]
02:13:32
◼
►
approach for them anyway work better for
[TS]
02:13:35
◼
►
Twitter if ik where what they reused
[TS]
02:13:37
◼
►
across the iOS and the mac app is all
[TS]
02:13:40
◼
►
the faceless stuff but the UI for the
[TS]
02:13:42
◼
►
mac app is written totally from scratch
[TS]
02:13:46
◼
►
the only part that shared is the inside
[TS]
02:13:48
◼
►
now they wrote it from I don't even know
[TS]
02:13:49
◼
►
what they used they could have written
[TS]
02:13:50
◼
►
it from scratch using you know the
[TS]
02:13:52
◼
►
chameleon thing they could have written
[TS]
02:13:53
◼
►
their scratch using app kit they could
[TS]
02:13:54
◼
►
have written scratch using a
[TS]
02:13:55
◼
►
hypothetical H eye kit but the point is
[TS]
02:13:57
◼
►
they wrote it from scratch they didn't
[TS]
02:13:58
◼
►
take the interface from the phone poured
[TS]
02:14:02
◼
►
it and start tweaking it but that that I
[TS]
02:14:05
◼
►
think will be a temptation it's you know
[TS]
02:14:07
◼
►
sort of the equivalent of shovel where
[TS]
02:14:09
◼
►
that will be a temptation if Apple does
[TS]
02:14:10
◼
►
a good job making that easy and in fact
[TS]
02:14:12
◼
►
how about will done with that look I
[TS]
02:14:13
◼
►
went from your iPhone application and
[TS]
02:14:14
◼
►
then I just move two things around and
[TS]
02:14:15
◼
►
add a sidebar and set up a few menu
[TS]
02:14:17
◼
►
items voila
[TS]
02:14:18
◼
►
Mac app and I'm gonna say no not a not a
[TS]
02:14:22
◼
►
Mac out thanks to our sponsors this week
[TS]
02:14:25
◼
►
Casper Squarespace and hellofresh we'll
[TS]
02:14:28
◼
►
see you next week now the show is over
[TS]
02:14:33
◼
►
they didn't even mean to begin
[TS]
02:14:37
◼
►
it was accidental oh it was accidental
[TS]
02:14:42
◼
►
Johnny research Marco and Casey wouldn't
[TS]
02:14:46
◼
►
let him cuz it was accidentally was
[TS]
02:14:50
◼
►
accidental and you can find the show
[TS]
02:14:54
◼
►
notes at a CAS URL is s so that's Casey
[TS]
02:15:07
◼

less and a are Co a RM ante Marco Arment

SI r AC USA Syracuse
[TS]
02:15:30
◼
►
good thing so much stuff happened in the
[TS]
02:15:33
◼
►
seven days ago yeah exactly so Marco you
[TS]
02:15:38
◼
►
said you had watched the first two
[TS]
02:15:40
◼
►
episodes of the Grand Tour
[TS]
02:15:41
◼
►
I have yeah you know what it's pretty
[TS]
02:15:43
◼
►
good I feel like the in studio segments
[TS]
02:15:48
◼
►
are slightly less garbagey than they
[TS]
02:15:53
◼
►
were last season oh yeah to clarify I
[TS]
02:15:55
◼
►
skip the house pretty bad not like I
[TS]
02:15:59
◼
►
don't skip like the little bumpers to
[TS]
02:16:01
◼
►
their second but like when they like sit
[TS]
02:16:03
◼
►
down with a celebrity or something I
[TS]
02:16:04
◼
►
skip that but I always did that with the
[TS]
02:16:06
◼
►
with the BBC show also yeah the the BBC
[TS]
02:16:10
◼
►
show the in studio segments were pretty
[TS]
02:16:14
◼
►
decent if not good but man the Grand
[TS]
02:16:18
◼
►
Tour in the studio is bad outside of the
[TS]
02:16:21
◼
►
studio I think the films were there
[TS]
02:16:23
◼
►
actually out in the world doing things I
[TS]
02:16:25
◼
►
think those are 80 to 90 percent of what
[TS]
02:16:28
◼
►
they were for Top Gear and I'm trying
[TS]
02:16:30
◼
►
very hard not to spoil anything directly
[TS]
02:16:32
◼
►
for John but my goodness of studio stuff
[TS]
02:16:35
◼
►
is just nothing I feel like all I'm
[TS]
02:16:37
◼
►
doing is cringing the entire time
[TS]
02:16:39
◼
►
they're in the studio oh absolutely no
[TS]
02:16:42
◼
►
question like the studio stuff is still
[TS]
02:16:43
◼
►
is as cringe-worthy as it was in season
[TS]
02:16:47
◼
►
one but season 2 episodes 1 & 2 if you
[TS]
02:16:51
◼
►
skip the studio Long's parts and you
[TS]
02:16:53
◼
►
just pay attention to the rest of it you
[TS]
02:16:54
◼
►
know film segments I'd say it's it's
[TS]
02:16:57
◼
►
very good very fun and you know the last
[TS]
02:17:00
◼
►
few seasons of Top Gear were that they
[TS]
02:17:01
◼
►
were on you know they were there was
[TS]
02:17:03
◼
►
like a bit of a decline in those two and
[TS]
02:17:05
◼
►
I would say the the current season of
[TS]
02:17:08
◼
►
whatever this is Grand Tour is on on par
[TS]
02:17:13
◼
►
with or better than the last few seasons
[TS]
02:17:15
◼
►
the top here they did I think that's
[TS]
02:17:17
◼
►
fair you know one of the Instituto
[TS]
02:17:19
◼
►
segments that I actually kind of liked
[TS]
02:17:21
◼
►
and I think is the strength that they
[TS]
02:17:22
◼
►
should be leaning on in Grand Tour but
[TS]
02:17:24
◼
►
in season 1 apparently they did not I
[TS]
02:17:26
◼
►
always liked the the new segments
[TS]
02:17:28
◼
►
because I guess because it's the most
[TS]
02:17:29
◼
►
like a pod yeah like they would they
[TS]
02:17:31
◼
►
would have a little TV screen up there
[TS]
02:17:33
◼
►
to show an image and they'd be like
[TS]
02:17:34
◼
►
there's quick hits on the news oh you
[TS]
02:17:36
◼
►
know Volkswagens coming out with a new
[TS]
02:17:38
◼
►
car what do you think of this and they
[TS]
02:17:39
◼
►
all just have something snarky to say
[TS]
02:17:40
◼
►
about it in much the same way we do on a
[TS]
02:17:42
◼
►
podcast what do you think of Bonita
[TS]
02:17:43
◼
►
they talk about right and there's no
[TS]
02:17:45
◼
►
celebrity involved and you can't say
[TS]
02:17:47
◼
►
they're not trying to be funny because
[TS]
02:17:48
◼
►
they are they're trying to be funny and
[TS]
02:17:49
◼
►
very often the snarky lines were written
[TS]
02:17:51
◼
►
ahead of time clearly right like it
[TS]
02:17:53
◼
►
wasn't all spontaneous or whatever but
[TS]
02:17:54
◼
►
that lets them be them in a way in the
[TS]
02:17:58
◼
►
same way that they would out of the
[TS]
02:17:59
◼
►
studio just sort of joking around with
[TS]
02:18:01
◼
►
each other about a topic that they all
[TS]
02:18:03
◼
►
have strong feelings about you think all
[TS]
02:18:05

Porsche 911s look the same you are into

[TS]
02:20:58

fast forwarded on a and on an initial
[TS]
02:21:00
◼

02:21:04
◼

[TS]
02:21:07
◼

thing I was about to say I am paying

02:21:09
◼
►
less and less and less attention to the
[TS]
02:21:11
◼
►
in-studio segments that being said the
[TS]
02:21:15
◼
►
the film's I thought were really good
[TS]
02:21:17
◼
►
particularly this last one and again I'm
[TS]
02:21:20
◼
►
trying not to spoil it but it involves
[TS]
02:21:22
◼
►
Marco and John's either current or old
[TS]
02:21:25
◼

stomping grounds that one I thought was

really good and enjoyable so thus to
[TS]
02:21:30
◼

films are great but Godley the studio

02:21:33
◼

stuff I'm running out of patience for it
[TS]
02:21:36
◼
►
yeah there is no question in my mind
[TS]
02:21:38
◼
►
that if the show was just the films and
[TS]
02:21:42
◼
►
each episode was like you know I guess I
[TS]
02:21:43
◼
►
guess be like 20 minutes long or 25
[TS]
02:21:45
◼
►
minutes long and instead of like an hour
[TS]
02:21:46
◼
►
if it was just that it would be a better
[TS]
02:21:49
◼
►
show I mean I'm looking forward to the
[TS]
02:21:52
◼
►
to the rest of the episodes from the
[TS]

battery doesn't give up it's just it

current or both drop below some
[TS]
01:00:40
◼

threshold game over right and that's
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
what's happening so the battery is there
[TS]
01:00:44
◼
►
dutifully pumping out as much energy
[TS]
01:00:45
◼

that can on the CPU is like now sorry

it's game over

anyway that's that's that's what's

happening and you know the the if you

want to get on Apple for doing a thing
[TS]
01:01:00

that you know what you know five why

this down to like what is the root cause
[TS]
01:01:05

here you could get to the batteries not
[TS]
01:01:07
◼

easily replaceable but you know it's not
[TS]
01:01:09
◼

that expensive to replace it you could
[TS]
01:01:12
◼

get to the size of the battery you could
[TS]
01:01:14
◼
►
get to how long if you use your phone
[TS]
01:01:15
◼

like a regular person how long does your
[TS]
01:01:17
◼

battery last like the planned
[TS]
01:01:18
◼
►
obsolescence thing is I feel like
[TS]
01:01:20
◼

different than the the perception that
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
Apple is doing you know evil thing to
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
make you buy a new phone because planned
[TS]
01:01:26
◼
►
obsolescence you could say they make a
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
sealed phone with a battery that will be
[TS]
01:01:30
◼
►
crappy after two years and they they
[TS]
01:01:32
◼

know that all those numbers they know
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
how long it will last they know that
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
it's sealed so on and so forth
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
isn't that planned obsolescence because
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
this phone is released to you and they
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
know the plan is that if you use this
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
like a regular phone it will be a much
[TS]
01:01:45
◼
►
worse phone in two years and that's
[TS]
01:01:47
◼

essentially their plan they couldn't
[TS]
01:01:49
◼

make a phone that becomes a much worse
[TS]
01:01:51
◼

phone in a week they could make a plan a

phone that becomes much worse one in

five years where have they chosen to
[TS]
01:01:57

draw that line is wherever they don't
[TS]
01:01:58
◼

know if it's two years we're just making
[TS]
01:01:59
◼

a number but that is a design choice and
[TS]
01:02:01
◼

this brings me to a thing that has been
[TS]
01:02:03
◼

buried in our show notes for a while
[TS]
01:02:04

that I will now hoist up because it is

[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
all anybody is Apple ruining your max
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
performance question mark isn't that
[TS]
01:02:31
◼
►
definitely great a quick baby title
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
that's like every Doug DeNiro
[TS]
01:02:35
◼
►
title ever his a yeah yes his his are
[TS]
01:02:39
◼

boring because there are two same the
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
number one the number one pinned a
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
comment on this is Apple ruining your
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
max performance spoiler alert yes
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
this article is about thermal throttling
[TS]
01:02:52
◼
►
on Macs which actually Marco talked
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
about a little bit although he surmised
[TS]
01:02:56
◼
►
it for Thermo based like when you
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
plugged in your external monitor at the
[TS]
01:02:59
◼
►
beach house like the how it slowed down
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
the clocks on your your MacBook Pro am I
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
remembering there right yeah this is
[TS]
01:03:04
◼
►
this is a pretty a pretty significant
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
limitation of the 2017 MacBook Pro
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
actually and this is not just the this
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
house was the NYMEX
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►
right so this is another case where
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
again the sensational headline would
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
make you think that Apple is inserting
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
code that mean this isn't about making
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
you buy a new Mac but apples and certain
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
komen says your computer could be faster
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
but we're going to do something in
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
software to make it not faster and
[TS]
01:03:28
◼
►
withhold the performance from you
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
because we're evil Apple and we do this
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
for insert reason that doesn't make any
[TS]
01:03:32
◼
►
sense because obviously as Gruber points
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
out and as many people point out like
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
people think it's an apples interest to
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
make you buy I won't buy a new phone but
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
it is not an apples interest to make you
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
buy a new phone by sabotaging your
[TS]
01:03:44
◼
►
current iPhone because that will just
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
make you feel bad about iPhones it'll
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
make you want to buy a different phone
[TS]
01:03:49
◼
►
but anyway setting that aside logic
[TS]
01:03:50
◼
►
doesn't factor in like again perception
[TS]
01:03:52
◼
►
doesn't matter that's not the logic it's
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
not enter into it the the reason so many
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►
Mac's thermal throttling if you watch
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
this video this is about like gaming
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
performance on an iMac or actually a
[TS]
01:04:04
◼
►
MacBook as well maybe it's both I forget
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
anyway he puts it in like a freezer and
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
runs the benchmark and having out of the
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
freezer too so you know all these sort
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
of temperature things look I'm I'm not
[TS]
01:04:14
◼
►
I'm not making this up look performance
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
is here but then as things we're not
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
before and it goes down you can see this
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
stair step pattern and the graphs of
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
what your frame rate is and then you put
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
it in the freezer and you don't see that
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
like it's pretty clear that
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
things and inside this computer run at
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
Marlys full speed until it gets kind of
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
hot and sweaty in there and the
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
mechanisms inside the computer that are
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
there to protect the silicon from you
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
know melting itself say whoa whoa whoa
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
let's start slowing things down and it
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
cranks down the clock speed and this
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
doesn't have to do with battery life
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
this has to do with like performance and
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
I would say that you know again Apple
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
it's not doing a malicious thing to make
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
your computer bad because they are evil
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
you know rubbing their hands together
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
villains twirling their moustaches but
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
they did design a computer they did
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
design a computer in which if you play a
[TS]
01:05:00
◼
►
game on it and you know in a certain
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
reasonable ambient temperature for human
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
kind of room eventually gets so hot that
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
the mechanisms that protect the silicon
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
will kick in and it will start
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
throttling down an Apple design that
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
computer right now is it a manufacturing
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
defect did they put it together wrong is
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
the thermal paste not working is the
[TS]
01:05:20
◼
►
heat pipe not working right or are they
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
all like that or are they all like that
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
after a certain number of years and then
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
the beginning they're not like that
[TS]
01:05:27
◼
►
whatever the thing is this is a product
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
that Apple made and you are not getting
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
all the performance you would hope to
[TS]
01:05:34
◼
►
get out of it that you could get out of
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
it if it had better cooling and same
[TS]
01:05:37
◼
►
thing with the plugging the external
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
monitor whether that is a sort of
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
programmatic when the external Morrow's
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
plugged in just throttle down
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
immediately because we know there's
[TS]
01:05:43
◼
►
gonna be thermal issues or whether it
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
just so happens that as soon as you plug
[TS]
01:05:46
◼
►
in the external monitors it immediately
[TS]
01:05:47
◼
►
trips the thermal thing and it drops it
[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
down either way apples ability to
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
extract heat away from the heat
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
sensitive components is inadequate to
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
allow those components to run at their
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
top rated speed all the time and that is
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
a design choice by Apple or a design
[TS]
01:06:04
◼
►
flaw from Apple or ever you want to
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
phrase it in no case is it malicious but
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
it is a real fact of the products and
[TS]
01:06:10
◼
►
you know another reason we're all well
[TS]
01:06:12
◼
►
I'm waiting for a Mac Pro is like you
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
you know it's a compromise that you may
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
say well that compromise allows it to be
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
thinner and lighter especially with
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
laptop with an iMac it's harder to
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
justify saying yeah yeah it is thin back
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
there but does it really need to be but
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
we want to be sleek and elegant whatever
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
these these are real you know and and
[TS]
01:06:30
◼
►
say this this is like the phone with
[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
like oh they chose to put a battery in
[TS]
01:06:34
◼
►
there that maybe if it was a bigger
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
battery you'd have more Headroom and you
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
wouldn't have
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
to charge it full as much and you could
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
you know have have more buffer on either
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
side of it sort of use the middle part
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
of the battery like Marco's Tesla does
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
or they could buy a batteries from a
[TS]
01:06:46
◼
►
different manufacturer or they could
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
even like there are things you can do to
[TS]
01:06:49
◼
►
design the phone to try to avoid this
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
situation and that I think is a
[TS]
01:06:54
◼
►
legitimate place of potential difference
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
with Apple and arguably they have made
[TS]
01:07:00
◼
►
different moves there because this is
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
about a sixth generation with the shut
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
down stuff the seven had a bigger better
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
battery than the six right and the ten
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
seems to have a bigger better battery
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
still right so it seems like they are
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
making adjustments and learning from
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
where they came from but that I feel
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
like is you know the communications
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
stuff and everything it's I feel for
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
Apple but at the same time by being
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
secretive and crossing their fingers
[TS]
01:07:24
◼
►
that people wouldn't notice that's on
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
them and they you know they get all to
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
be a bad PR I do feel bad that the
[TS]
01:07:30
◼
►
perception will not match up with
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
reality even more so now because of this
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
but I also think that the design choices
[TS]
01:07:40
◼
►
that Apple has made that cause
[TS]
01:07:42
◼
►
performance degradation like their
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
compromises I'm not sure they have
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
struck the right balance it really
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
depends on who you are obviously tech
[TS]
01:07:51
◼
►
nerds they're gonna say that of course
[TS]
01:07:53
◼
►
you've struck the wrong balance because
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
I'll give up you know half a pound to
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
get an on throttled GPU other people
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
might want the half a pound because they
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
don't care about throttling and all they
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
do is use Microsoft Word all day but
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
from my perspective as a tech nerd it
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
bothered me to get a product that has to
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
be sort of you know baby they're using a
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
freezer to get the to get sort of the
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
rated performance out of it kind of not
[TS]
01:08:18
◼
►
to crash on Marko's Tesla but kind of
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
like the Tesla's where a lot of people
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
wrote in when we talked about Tesla's
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
and road tests and I felt like it wasn't
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
getting its due and how you know it's
[TS]
01:08:29
◼
►
such a great performance car but it's
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
never put up against the real ones and a
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
lot of people pointed out and I should
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
recall this from reading a lighting
[TS]
01:08:33
◼
►
laughs a lot of that is not just because
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
it's not grated handling because it's
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
really heavy but also because you drive
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
a Tesla hard around a racetrack and
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
eventually test it was like and yeah not
[TS]
01:08:44
◼
►
so much how about you how about you lay
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
off a little bit and it goes into not
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
limp mode but it goes into please stop
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
hurting me mode because my battery's
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
getting
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
really hot and I really don't like doing
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
you know hot laps as they're called like
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
literally hot laps I'm not up for this
[TS]
01:08:59
◼
►
and so it's hard to get a bunch of you
[TS]
01:09:02
◼
►
know good lap times because you do one
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
or two fast laps and the Tesla's says no
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
more like you know like thermal
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
throttling on a Mac and like the battery
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
they can't give enough juice it says
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
well can we just wait for the battery to
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
cool down a little bit maybe and that's
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
not something you're looking for in in
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
the performance car so fast in a
[TS]
01:09:22
◼
►
straight line
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
not so fast around curves and you drive
[TS]
01:09:26
◼
►
it fast for a long time and it really
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
really doesn't like that and says with
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
it's electronics you will not be doing
[TS]
01:09:33
◼
►
that anymore for a while I'm sorry
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
physics you know my bad so anyway to
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
wrap this up somehow I've managed to
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
turn this story about Apple software
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
protecting its hardware into a story
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
about how I really wanted the Mac Pro to
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
not be thermal throttled and Apple
[TS]
01:09:53
◼
►
should make us computers faster-- course
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
but but yeah like I said um if you take
[TS]
01:09:58
◼
►
one thing away from this take away the
[TS]
01:10:01
◼
►
sad the sad realization the the the idea
[TS]
01:10:04
◼
►
the knowledge that none of this
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
information actually confirms the things
[TS]
01:10:09
◼
►
people used to think about Apple but
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
everyone will believe it does and that's
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
a bummer for Apple and they're partially
[TS]
01:10:15
◼
►
to bring with bad PR handling but you
[TS]
01:10:18
◼
►
should continue not to believe that
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
Apple purposely slows down computers
[TS]
01:10:21
◼
►
because a that would be a dumb thing to
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
do and B they don't do it to make you
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
buy a new phone also please never put
[TS]
01:10:29
◼
►
your computing devices in the freezer
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
condensation exists this is a problem
[TS]
01:10:32
◼
►
put them in mineral oil come on yeah you
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►
might even know about this because you
[TS]
01:10:37
◼
►
were you're always a Mac person case you
[TS]
01:10:39
◼
►
might remember do you ever back back
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
then like one of the early hey days of
[TS]
01:10:43
◼
►
overclocking and like the very late 90s
[TS]
01:10:45
◼
►
early 2000s overclocked yo started using

I don't know Hayes Browns Peltier
[TS]
01:10:49
◼

Peltier plates know about this so so one
[TS]
01:10:55
◼
►
of the ways that you know water cooling
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
was not extreme enough if you wanted to
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
push like a seller on up to two
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
gigahertz or whatever so people started
[TS]
01:11:01
◼
►
using these Peltier devices which are
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
these these like
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
thermoelectric things that they're like
[TS]
01:11:07
◼
►
they're like they're solid-state no
[TS]
01:11:08
◼
►
moving parts and you apply a ton of
[TS]
01:11:10
◼
►
power to them and one side gets super
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
cold and one side gets super hot
[TS]
01:11:15
◼
►
and I think this I think integrals use
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
these I'm not sure they're anyway
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
however you Browns those things
[TS]
01:11:22
◼
►
overclockers decided that this this was
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
a good way to to get even colder cooling
[TS]
01:11:27
◼
►
of their of their CPUs they could push
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
them even further and it's especially
[TS]
01:11:31
◼
►
egregious because all the power that it
[TS]
01:11:34
◼
►
draws which is a lot to perform this
[TS]
01:11:37
◼
►
cooling the hot side gets all the heat
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
of the processor plus that wattage that
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
it's using so like the cold side gets a
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
little cold the hot side gets really hot
[TS]
01:11:47
◼
►
and it was the mcdlt of cooling solution
[TS]
01:11:51
◼
►
the hot side hot cold side cold
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
I missed the mcdlt
[TS]
01:11:55
◼
►
yeah anyway and so one of the problems
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
one of the reasons one of the many
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
reasons why people I don't think really
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
used those for more than about six
[TS]
01:12:03
◼
►
months is because once you introduce the
[TS]
01:12:07
◼
►
the possibility for a for something in
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
your computer case to get below ambient
[TS]
01:12:11
◼
►
temperature you start having problems
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
with condensation and possibly frost and
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►
this is a really big problem instead of
[TS]
01:12:18
◼
►
a computer collect Ronix do not like
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
water like if you like and of course
[TS]
01:12:22
◼
►
they decided okay now we can back off
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
frost and condensation and now we can
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
just go to pumping water through our
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
case that's much better well I mean like
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
you said it's of all about ambient
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
temperature because if you start making
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
the surrounding air cooler and it can no
[TS]
01:12:35
◼
►
longer hold the water that is that it
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
condenses out of the air that's a
[TS]
01:12:39
◼
►
problem but if everything is at air
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
temperature or higher you're still it's
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
still way lower than the temperature of
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
the little hot piece of silicon in there
[TS]
01:12:45
◼
►
so you're fine with condensation you
[TS]
01:12:47
◼
►
just gotta make sure you have no leaks
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
so is that it on the deliberately
[TS]
01:12:52
◼
►
planned obsolescence that may or may not
[TS]
01:12:55
◼
►
really be a thing it's not you're doing
[TS]
01:12:57
◼
►
it again not may or may not really be a
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
thing he's not really hitting I'm lady
[TS]
01:13:01
◼
►
this is the problem like no matter how
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
much people talk about but like yeah but
[TS]
01:13:04
◼
►
this does kind of confirm what everyone
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
said doesn't it no no it doesn't because
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
what they were saying they were saying
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
was not that they're slowing down the
[TS]
01:13:10
◼
►
computer but for a reason and this I
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
know this is the nuance and I totally
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
agree that no one is gonna get this but
[TS]
01:13:15
◼
►
the ADP listeners well no an hour
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
I would caution you ATP listeners do not
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
attempt to explain this to other people
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
like Christmas dinner because it will
[TS]
01:13:22
◼
►
not go over well just nod your head and
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
say you were right all right don't even
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
confirm that they're right just go have
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
a different conversation
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
no guess yeah guess what you're not
[TS]
01:13:32
◼
►
gonna be the one bringing it up like all
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
of our listeners who are known probably
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
as like the computer people and their
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
family all their other relatives are
[TS]
01:13:40
◼
►
gonna ask them about it you won't have
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
to bring it up people will ask you yeah
[TS]
01:13:44
◼
►
then you can tell them the truth I
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
suppose but like it's a nuance that
[TS]
01:13:47
◼
►
people don't care about because people
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
really really want to be right about
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
that conspiracy and they can get a
[TS]
01:13:51
◼
►
psychology of this like why you know
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
everyone wants to seem like they are
[TS]
01:13:56
◼
►
savvy like that the world's not pulling
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
one over me that this is how they get
[TS]
01:14:00
◼
►
you like the world attempts to pull one
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
over but I'm no dummy I know what the
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
truth is so Apple people think Apple is
[TS]
01:14:08
◼
►
great but I know the truth about Apple
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
the truth about Apple is they
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
intentionally make your phone slower to
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
make you buy a new one and I'm on you
[TS]
01:14:14
◼
►
know they're they're not fooling me
[TS]
01:14:15
◼
►
right and it's important to them to feel
[TS]
01:14:20
◼
►
like they are that the world is not
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
fooling them is often people who are
[TS]
01:14:24
◼
►
mostly being fooled by almost everything
[TS]
01:14:26
◼
►
in the world and so they you know the
[TS]
01:14:28
◼
►
it's important that they're that they
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
show that that's not the case so they no
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
matter how much like you can't you will
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
never convince these people that it's
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
not the case like there is no like
[TS]
01:14:36
◼
►
literally you will never convince them
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
like if they if they could personally
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
speak to and live with for a year every
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
employee living in dead of Apple and be
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
truly convinced that they were never
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
doing this they would do that in their
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
infant life span come back and say yeah
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
but I kind of think they're really doing
[TS]
01:14:50
◼
►
it well it really doesn't help that that
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
Apple just basically proved the first
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
two-thirds of their theory correct yeah
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
no that's the best thing like the
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
important but there is no to throw 2/3
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
of the theory bit like the conclusion
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
like that gets like this is what they're
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
doing like they're doing it to make you
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
buy a new phone because the other part
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
of is not something to get work about
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
they're doing it to make sure the
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
hardware does it make sure my phone
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
doesn't turn off well that doesn't sound
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
like it something I should get that mad
[TS]
01:15:13
◼
►
about it because they they don't they
[TS]
01:15:14
◼
►
don't care about the nuances like PR
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
communication and so on and so forth
[TS]
01:15:17
◼
►
right maybe if you want to convince them
[TS]
01:15:19
◼
►
maybe you could say what you should
[TS]
01:15:20
◼
►
really be mad about is the fact that
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
Apple didn't say this earlier and then
[TS]
01:15:24
◼
►
they can get mad about that and maybe
[TS]
01:15:25
◼
►
they'll feel like they still like are
[TS]
01:15:27
◼
►
righteously angry and they can be
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
righteously angry about that that's fine
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
but some people will never give
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
the notion of malice that like like like
[TS]
01:15:34
◼
►
Volkswagen engineers secretly cheating
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
the emissions test because that's the
[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
worst thing about this this Gruber
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
points out in his article he used uber
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
as an example because he doesn't know
[TS]
01:15:43
◼
►
about the automotive world but VW is
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
probably a more apt example large
[TS]
01:15:48
◼
►
corporations do legitimately do actual
[TS]
01:15:51
◼
►
actively maliciously evil cheesy things
[TS]
01:15:53
◼
►
like this you know not by accident not
[TS]
01:15:56
◼
►
to protect the engine but like detect
[TS]
01:15:58
◼
►
when you're being emission tested and
[TS]
01:16:00
◼
►
pretend like you have less emissions
[TS]
01:16:01
◼
►
than you do but then really when you get
[TS]
01:16:03
◼
►
use as a car put out way more our
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
emissions Volkswagen did that and that's
[TS]
01:16:07
◼
►
not good for that company so it's not a
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
stretch to believe the corporation would
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
do that but you know the the reason I
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
mean I guess we had to say look the
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
reason we all believe Apple wouldn't do
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
this is mostly because it doesn't make
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
sense I mean it's partially because we
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
know people at Apple and we trust Apple
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
and believe it and maybe we're suckers
[TS]
01:16:25
◼
►
in blah blah blah but also because
[TS]
01:16:26
◼
►
unlike cheating on emissions test which
[TS]
01:16:28
◼
►
has a big upside for VW if they can pull
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
it off successfully pulling off
[TS]
01:16:34
◼
►
intentionally making your phones worse
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
to make people buy new ones like it
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
wouldn't make people buy new ones as
[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
Gruber has pointed out many many times
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
it would make people buy an Android
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
phone like if they knew like if their
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
phones just get worse and if this has
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
happened by the way with the shutdown
[TS]
01:16:46
◼
►
stuff I've seen stuff like I bought in
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
the last iPhone but then just kept
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
turning off forget it and I next time
[TS]
01:16:51
◼
►
I'm getting an Android phone it's way
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
cheaper anyway right that's what
[TS]
01:16:53
◼
►
actually happens if you intentionally or
[TS]
01:16:56
◼
►
not intentionally if the phone you have
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
starts getting worse you know like like
[TS]
01:17:00
◼
►
Casey with this BMW if your engine keeps
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
blowing up you're thinking maybe my
[TS]
01:17:03
◼
►
caramel next time won't be a BMW
[TS]
01:17:05
◼
►
okay he's not like that clever BMW
[TS]
01:17:07
◼
►
tricking me into buying another BMW by
[TS]
01:17:09
◼
►
making my engine blow up intentionally
[TS]
01:17:11
◼
►
that's not how the world works but
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
people do really want to feel like that
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
you know they understand how they get
[TS]
01:17:17
◼
►
you and the world's not pulling one over
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
on them so well because in this case the
[TS]
01:17:20
◼
►
world did pull one over on them and like
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
it this one's only the only fix to this
[TS]
01:17:25
◼
►
I mean it's gonna be a long-term
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
reputation problem and this you know the
[TS]
01:17:28
◼
►
having Mouse attributed to it is going
[TS]
01:17:30
◼
►
to be a very long-term problem but the
[TS]
01:17:33
◼
►
only way to start fixing this is to
[TS]
01:17:36
◼
►
communicate about it from the phone a PR
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
statement is not enough because most
[TS]
01:17:40
◼
►
people when I read PR statements and if
[TS]
01:17:42
◼
►
they do they won't believe them the
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
phone has to tell the
[TS]
01:17:45
◼
►
when this throttling happens and tell
[TS]
01:17:47
◼
►
them why it's happening and how much do
[TS]
01:17:50
◼
►
you think that will help I agree that it
[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
will help but how much Oh massively
[TS]
01:17:54
◼
►
because that that totally changes the
[TS]
01:17:57
◼
►
the view of it not for everybody not
[TS]
01:17:59
◼
►
going to convince everybody but they
[TS]
01:18:01
◼
►
will it'll at least appear that they're
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
not trying to hide this fact from you
[TS]
01:18:06
◼
►
you know because the narrative is that
[TS]
01:18:08
◼
►
they are they are secretly like trickily
[TS]
01:18:11
◼
►
like slowing down your phone if they
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
tell you your phone can't run at full
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
speed because the battery is is too worn
[TS]
01:18:19
◼
►
out that's a very different look and
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
again that's gonna piss people off too
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
but not as many it's a way fewer
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
percentage I was like if 100 percent is
[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
everyone suddenly has good feelings and
[TS]
01:18:32
◼
►
0% is this doesn't make anybody feel
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
better what percentage would you say
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
that this helps bring me half to 2/3 I'd
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
say I mean a lot we're on the same page
[TS]
01:18:40
◼
►
because I think it's half as well my
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
guess would be about half like a half of
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
the people will be will see that dialog
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
and will be like yeah it's a bummer but
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
I understand what's going on and the
[TS]
01:18:49
◼
►
other half of the people like I said
[TS]
01:18:50
◼
►
will say this dialog box proves the app
[TS]
01:18:52
◼
►
was trying to get me a new phone by
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
lying to me with this dialog box so it
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
is way better than what they did this
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
time but I am pessimistic that this will
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
you know and if you think about it the
[TS]
01:19:04
◼
►
like I don't know the the the not saying
[TS]
01:19:07
◼
►
anything strategy pretend the not saying
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
anything strategy had had been ongoing
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
and you know this this whole information
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
had not come out right they just
[TS]
01:19:16
◼
►
continue to but they're not saying
[TS]
01:19:16
◼
►
anything thing Apple could have
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
theoretically weathered that storm and
[TS]
01:19:20
◼
►
just put better batteries in their phone
[TS]
01:19:22
◼
►
and eventually the six is all cycle out
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
and then you know they sort of
[TS]
01:19:25
◼
►
quote-unquote win so the you know this
[TS]
01:19:29
◼
►
strategy they chose to do is riskier
[TS]
01:19:31
◼
►
right because something like what what
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
just happened could happen but the
[TS]
01:19:35
◼
►
potential upside I think is better than
[TS]
01:19:37
◼
►
the 50% solution where half the people
[TS]
01:19:39
◼
►
think now the dialog box is proof
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
positive that Apple is trying to trick
[TS]
01:19:43
◼
►
you into buying a new phone by making
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
your phone slower because that dialog
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
box is total BS my battery's fine I know
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
it's fine it's telling me I need a new
[TS]
01:19:48
◼
►
phone it's just you know anyway when to
[TS]
01:19:51
◼
►
be clear they said like they said in
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
statement that right now it applies to
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
iPhone 6 and 6s but it's going to but
[TS]
01:19:56
◼
►
the 7 is going to be added soon and
[TS]
01:19:58
◼
►
future devices will be
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
as time goes on like they said that so
[TS]
01:20:01
◼
►
it isn't a problem inherent to the six
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
and success like this this problem isn't
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
gonna go away right but I think the
[TS]
01:20:06
◼
►
battery is better in the seven like I
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
think like they put a bigger battery in
[TS]
01:20:09
◼
►
and that supposedly will make it you
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
know so that doesn't get go under
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
current as you know so maybe the last to
[TS]
01:20:15
◼
►
have two years two and a half years or
[TS]
01:20:16
◼
►
whatever like I think they're because I
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
think the root problem is sort of the
[TS]
01:20:20
◼
►
design lifetime of the phone right it's
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
not like you know they have to pick a
[TS]
01:20:23
◼
►
design lifetime like you have to like I
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
said they could pick any number they
[TS]
01:20:26
◼
►
wanted it as their target right I think
[TS]
01:20:28
◼
►
they've been moving their target up
[TS]
01:20:29
◼
►
which will help them with this problem
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
there is no no phone like mega design
[TS]
01:20:32
◼
►
where this problem will never come up
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
unless they have totally different
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
battery technology so they have to pick
[TS]
01:20:36
◼
►
a time and no matter what they need to
[TS]
01:20:39
◼
►
have this messaging so if someone
[TS]
01:20:40
◼
►
happens to keep their phone they make a
[TS]
01:20:42
◼
►
phone the last five years somewhat if
[TS]
01:20:45
◼
►
someone keeps it for six years you still
[TS]
01:20:46
◼
►
need this all this mechanism in there
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
for when it goes bad it's just a
[TS]
01:20:50
◼
►
question of what that number is and I
[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
think the number is farther out on the
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
sevens intense we'll see we'll see when
[TS]
01:20:56
◼
►
they when they had the software feature
[TS]
01:20:57
◼
►
I mean you'll find out basically it's
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
like do people have sevens now that are
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
like switching off like KC six used to
[TS]
01:21:02
◼
►
or all the sevens too young at this
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
point I don't know I I haven't heard it
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
I mean I have a seven so I'll be
[TS]
01:21:08
◼
►
watching for it but it's an inherent
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
problem with the battery technology and
[TS]
01:21:14
◼
►
the problem with having a steal battery
[TS]
01:21:15
◼
►
and all that stuff and so communication
[TS]
01:21:19
◼
►
will help with that but I think apple
[TS]
01:21:23
◼
►
also dreads the idea of people seeing
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
that dialog box because some people some
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
percentage of people will see that
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
dialog box and have a concrete thing to
[TS]
01:21:35
◼
►
point to to say that Apple is malicious
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
and evil like they look at this dialog
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
box apples coming right out and telling
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
me you should buy a new phone because
[TS]
01:21:43
◼
►
we're you know we're artificially making
[TS]
01:21:45
◼
►
your phone slow to make you buy a new
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
phone like that's how they'll read that
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
dialogue boxing that's a bummer we our

Apple is taking a page from the windows
[TS]
01:23:41
◼
►
playbook just today and by today I mean
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
exactly 7 days ago Apple or I should say
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
that that Bloomberg released a post as
[TS]
01:23:55
◼
►
Mark Kerman saying Apple plans combined
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
iPhone iPad and Mac apps to create one
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
user experience speaking of a Microsoft
[TS]
01:24:03
◼

tagline one user experience and speaking
[TS]
01:24:05
◼

of a headline that does not accurately
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
represent the ideas and contained in the
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
article I'm shocked yeah no way so this
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
is a again a post by gurmann and and the
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
summary seems to be that there will be a
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
change probably next year if he's right
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
that what we currently think of as a
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
universal app
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
or maybe there'll be a new term for it
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
but but there will be a mechanism by
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
which the same app can be run on iOS and
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
Mac OS and so in the same way that we
[TS]
01:24:39
◼
►
have Universal apps on the iOS App Store
[TS]
01:24:41
◼
►
which can be run on iPhone and iPad in
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
the future their own I guess Apple watch
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
although that's not really part of being
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
universal but anyway but it's three
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
different platforms in the future there
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
there may or perhaps will be a mechanism
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
by which we will have the same app
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
running on iPhone on iPad potentially an
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
Apple watch and on Mac OS and nobody
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
really knows what the engineering
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
mechanism is behind this
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
but that supposedly is the future if you
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
believe mark Garmin so I think it's
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
worth pontificating about what the
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
different paths are to this end but
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
before we go down that road
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
are there any immediate thoughts on this
[TS]
01:25:29
◼
►
starting with John I think the important
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
thing the important part of this story
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
to think about and this is the rumor so
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
we don't know bla bla bla they did a lot
[TS]
01:25:37
◼
►
of equivocating in this but it might
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
come next year but they might cancel it
[TS]
01:25:41
◼
►
but it might not great ok um so the
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
motivation behind this is something that
[TS]
01:25:45
◼
►
we've talked about in this show a lot
[TS]
01:25:47
◼
►
specifically when Marco has been like
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
making Mac applications and stuff and
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
and poorly yeah the historical side with
[TS]
01:25:53
◼
►
that here here's what I think why why I
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
believe that projects like this are you
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
know conceivably going on inside Apple
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
and may actually ship Apple has an
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
important asset that they brag about in
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
you know it's all the time but that I
[TS]
01:26:13
◼
►
think people tend not to think about
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
that much which is you know when they
[TS]
01:26:17
◼
►
put that slide says we have X number of
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
thousands or millions of developers they
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
brag about number apps but number of
[TS]
01:26:23
◼
►
apps is a proxy for a number of
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
developers whose developers are writing
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
those apps Apple used to have a certain
[TS]
01:26:29
◼
►
amount of people who were Mac developers
[TS]
01:26:31
◼
►
but now they have way way more people
[TS]
01:26:33
◼
►
who are iOS developers there are a lot
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
of iOS developers that is a tremendous
[TS]
01:26:38
◼
►
asset for Apple it's huge number
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
people who know how to write
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
applications for iOS and do it to make
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
money it's a virtuous cycle like it's
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
you know the whole marketplace it's
[TS]
01:26:49
◼
►
great for Apple makes money when they
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
make money but really the important
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
asset is a bunch of people out there
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
know how to write iOS apps fewer people
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
out there know how to write Mac apps
[TS]
01:26:58
◼
►
fewer every year because the maca maca
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
developers get older and most people who
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
are learning to write absolutely to
[TS]
01:27:04
◼
►
write them on iOS one way Apple could
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
deal with this is say we're just gonna
[TS]
01:27:09
◼
►
sunset the Mac whatever the Mac was the
[TS]
01:27:10
◼
►
past iOS is the future all these
[TS]
01:27:12
◼
►
developers know how to develop for iOS
[TS]
01:27:13
◼
►
we'll just let all the Mac developers
[TS]
01:27:15
◼
►
retire and golf into the sunset and
[TS]
01:27:17
◼
►
we'll can the Mac line and blah blah
[TS]
01:27:19
◼
►
blah you know and everything we've seen
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
about VR has said no we're not doing
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
that the Mac is important blah blah blah
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
and yeah it's important bit until it's
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
not but so far the messaging is pretty
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
clear thumbs up on the Mac in fact we're
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
rededicating ourselves to the Mac the
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
Mac is an important product the Mac and
[TS]
01:27:37
◼
►
iOS fill different roles we're never
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
gonna force the Mac to be like iOS of
[TS]
01:27:41
◼
►
course I was to be like the Mac all
[TS]
01:27:43
◼
►
those things that they said but they do
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
have the problem of a small number of
[TS]
01:27:48
◼
►
Mac developers a small number of Mac
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
apps and smaller all the time like tons

of applications are available on iOS and

01:27:57
◼

TV OS but not on the Mac in the old days
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
of just the PC world of course they'd be
[TS]
01:28:02
◼
►
available on the Mac if they were
[TS]
01:28:04
◼
►
available in any app platform now many
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
things are available in out black or
[TS]
01:28:07
◼
►
it's not available on the Mac and one of
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
the big reasons is you have at least
[TS]
01:28:11
◼
►
evelle person over iOS apps but they
[TS]
01:28:13
◼
►
don't know how to write Mac apps and
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
writing Mac apps is different enough
[TS]
01:28:16
◼
►
that it is non-trivial to do that so
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
they're assuming Apple wants to keep the
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
Mac around which they keep saying they
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
do one way to solve that problem is to
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
find a way to let the huge number of
[TS]
01:28:28
◼
►
people who know how to write iOS apps
[TS]
01:28:31
◼
►
reuse some or all those skills to target
[TS]
01:28:34
◼
►
the Mac and that I think is what any
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
project like this would be about it
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
would be about leveraging that asset to
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
you know bring up their other platform
[TS]
01:28:49
◼
►
and yes the unification is important too
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
like trying to unify but you know the
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
reason I said this headline was
[TS]
01:28:54
◼
►
misleading his visit says to create one
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
user experience but then you read the
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
article on it's like the application
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
sometimes we'll use touch but then
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
sometimes we'll use a mouse and a
[TS]
01:29:02
◼
►
pointer it's like that's naughty that's
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
what not one user experience that's two
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
user experiences and it should be
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
because the mouse cursor is different
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
than touch and you can't use you know
[TS]
01:29:09
◼
►
different things working different you
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
know anyway this is all about letting
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
leveraging the those skills and I am I
[TS]
01:29:16
◼
►
think I think Mark already talked about
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
this someone of his podcast that he's
[TS]
01:29:19
◼
►
all recorded in the in the past future I
[TS]
01:29:21
◼
►
don't know how time works anymore the
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
Days of Future past seven days ago we
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
discussed under the radar yeah but I
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
think you'll hear a lot about iOS
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
developer saying I'd yeah if I could use
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
my skills to either make a mac app or to
[TS]
01:29:36
◼
►
bring the app that I already have and I
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
on iPhone and iPad to the Mac maybe that
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
would make sense at the very least I
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
would entertain it like I wouldn't rule
[TS]
01:29:43
◼
►
it out like I have to see if it makes
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
sense in terms of economics and so on
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
and so forth there are some potential
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
upside potential downsides but a lot of
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
time you know like it it's when you
[TS]
01:29:54
◼
►
remove the barrier and say you can use
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
your skills that you have for iOS and
[TS]
01:29:57
◼
►
you know you know how to use UI kid and
[TS]
01:29:59
◼
►
make table views and do all this stuff
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
and there's some about new stuff you
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
might learn but you can reuse your code
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
and you can reuse your skills and to you
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
know to varying a sense they would be
[TS]
01:30:07
◼
►
open to that idea because it is
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
potential new way to make money and yes
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
it's a smaller platform but in theory we
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
know this is true but in theory you
[TS]
01:30:14
◼
►
might be able to charge even higher
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
prices than you do on the iPad so that's
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
the lens through which I'm viewing all
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
these rumors and getting it what Casey
[TS]
01:30:22
◼
►
was talking about yeah but how but how
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
would they do that
[TS]
01:30:24
◼
►
there are many ways that they could do
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
it that would be bad for Mac users in
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
bed for developers like they can blow it
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
but if I want to put up like what are
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
the goals of this project the goals are
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
leverage one of Apple's greatest assets
[TS]
01:30:37
◼
►
tons of developers who know how to do
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
well for iOS alright so before we talk
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
how Marco any other thoughts the Devils
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
in the details but conceptually I love
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
this idea
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
it is not gonna be an easy thing to do
[TS]
01:30:51
◼
►
you know if this is this is really a
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
thing they're working on it's that's not
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
easy because the two platforms are very
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
very different from each other and I
[TS]
01:31:01
◼
►
don't just mean like on at an API level
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
I'm talking about just like the an
[TS]
01:31:05
◼
►
interaction and use
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
fullness level and the needs of a Mac
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
app you know versus iOS like in many
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
ways developing an iOS is way easier
[TS]
01:31:14
◼
►
because there's a lot of things that you
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
don't have to worry about that on the
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
Mac you have to accommodate or think
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
about or support just because people
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
expect different kind of interactions on
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
the Mac like you know just simple things
[TS]
01:31:26
◼
►
like you know you have the entire menu
[TS]
01:31:28
◼
►
system you also have things like
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
drag-and-drop and different types of
[TS]
01:31:33
◼
►
like you know data providing services
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
that you have all sorts of different you
[TS]
01:31:38
◼
►
have windowing multiple windows multiple
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
documents being open the the entire
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
document system behind that you have
[TS]
01:31:45
◼
►
things like undo which you don't have
[TS]
01:31:48
◼
►
all sorts of of rich behaviors that have
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
been built over time many of us quite a
[TS]
01:31:55
◼
►
long time ago that people expect all
[TS]
01:31:57
◼
►
like you know quote computer apps to be
[TS]
01:31:59
◼
►
able to do now
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
things like script ability even like
[TS]
01:32:03
◼
►
they're so they're so so much that Mac
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
apps do that iOS developers don't ever
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
have to worry about or don't have to
[TS]
01:32:09
◼
►
even think about making something that
[TS]
01:32:12
◼
►
can do that rich power of the Mac with
[TS]
01:32:16
◼
►
iOS like code or iOS like UI frameworks
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
that's not a small job and there's lots
[TS]
01:32:24
◼
►
of ways to do that very badly and so a
[TS]
01:32:27
◼
►
lot of Mac people are wary if this
[TS]
01:32:30
◼
►
announcement or they were seven days ago
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
at least where they're worried like you
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
know we don't want like the equivalent
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
of an iOS app running in a simulator
[TS]
01:32:40
◼
►
window just you know and here we are
[TS]
01:32:42
◼
►
like dragging our mouse over it to
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
simulate touch swipes and everything
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
like nobody wants that and if that's
[TS]
01:32:48
◼
►
what this ends up being that that would
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
be a huge failure on a number of levels
[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
and a tragedy honestly but I have a
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
feeling apples better than that like I
[TS]
01:32:56
◼
►
don't think they would do that I think
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
if they're gonna do this at all they're
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
hopefully they're gonna do a really good
[TS]
01:33:01
◼
►
job of it and that's again it's not easy
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
and it wouldn't surprise me if they get
[TS]
01:33:08
◼
►
if they go down this road if they've
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
been going on this run for a while and
[TS]
01:33:11
◼
►
then they eventually decide you know
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
what this actually isn't good enough we
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
shouldn't do this anymore like that
[TS]
01:33:15
◼
►
wouldn't surprise me at all
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
I feel like even if they did and maybe
[TS]
01:33:18
◼
►
they've done that three times already
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
they were
[TS]
01:33:20
◼
►
take another run at it because I feel
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
like the only two possible options are
[TS]
01:33:23
◼
►
sunset the Mac or find a way to leverage
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
the eventually you know in in a not huge
[TS]
01:33:32
◼
►
number of years would you say on an
[TS]
01:33:34
◼
►
infinite time no non infinite on a
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
finite and fairly short time scale that
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
means gets the desk on the number of
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
people who know how to make a good Mac
[TS]
01:33:43
◼
►
app is not going out it's just not right
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
this and the number of people who know
[TS]
01:33:48
◼
►
how to make a good iOS app is going up
[TS]
01:33:50
◼
►
in a tremendous number of this you have
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
to find a way to either you know don't
[TS]
01:33:53
◼
►
have people do off of the Mac anymore or
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
repurpose repoint your your big asset of
[TS]
01:33:58
◼
►
the fleet of developers at the Mac
[TS]
01:34:00
◼
►
because that's the only way you're going
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
to get an ongoing supply of good Mac
[TS]
01:34:03
◼
►
apps right and so I think you know there
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
like you said there are just so many
[TS]
01:34:08
◼
►
ways to do this wrong right and if they
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
tried a bunch of approaches and they
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
suck I think they would say okay but
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
let's try again with a different
[TS]
01:34:15
◼
►
approach eventually you assume the one
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
they come out with is one of them as an
[TS]
01:34:19
◼
►
approach that they feel kind of okay
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
with but you know they could blow it and
[TS]
01:34:22
◼
►
try again
[TS]
01:34:23
◼
►
anyway the for the approaches I think
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
there's a few obvious ones a couple the
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
obvious ones it's not clear to me
[TS]
01:34:29
◼
►
whether these are approaches that
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
they've decided suck and they don't want
[TS]
01:34:32
◼
►
to pursue but it very least these are
[TS]
01:34:34
◼
►
approaches they have code for are things
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
like UX kit which is like what when a
[TS]
01:34:38
◼
►
lot of applications start appearing on
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
the Mac and people said they looked and
[TS]
01:34:41
◼
►
smelled kind of like iOS applications a
[TS]
01:34:43
◼
►
lot of them used either actual UX kit or
[TS]
01:34:45
◼
►
similar approaches where it is like a UI
[TS]
01:34:48
◼
►
kit sort of facade that just calls app
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
get stuff under the covers to let you
[TS]
01:34:53
◼
►
repurpose code that you originally wrote
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
for iOS devices to make an application
[TS]
01:34:56
◼
►
core Mac application the kind of looks
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
and behaves a little bit like an iOS
[TS]
01:35:01
◼
►
application photos for the Mac is a
[TS]
01:35:03
◼
►
great example this you know arguably
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
like contacts or even something like the
[TS]
01:35:07
◼
►
new Notes applications a lot example
[TS]
01:35:09
◼
►
tabs that you look at them what maps
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
yeah a lot of apps out there they kind
[TS]
01:35:14
◼
►
of I mean there's a family resemblance
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
but also like behavior wise you can kind
[TS]
01:35:18
◼
►
of tell that they're not just using
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
straight app kit because a lot of the
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
stuff that you basically get for free
[TS]
01:35:22
◼
►
with app kit doesn't exist in these
[TS]
01:35:24
◼
►
applications like different behaviors
[TS]
01:35:26
◼
►
different you know behaviors in terms of
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
focus and keyboard shortcuts and stuff
[TS]
01:35:30
◼
►
like that that are just different for
[TS]
01:35:32
◼
►
reasons that don't make sense
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
until you realize that they probably
[TS]
01:35:35
◼
►
just reused a lot of UI code so aux get
[TS]
01:35:38
◼
►
like approach is one possible way to do
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
that and like I said it's not clear to
[TS]
01:35:41
◼
►
me whether they did that and decided
[TS]
01:35:43
◼
►
actually that's not great so we're not
[TS]
01:35:44
◼
►
taking that approach or they did that
[TS]
01:35:46
◼
►
over many years with any applications
[TS]
01:35:47
◼
►
decided actually this approach works
[TS]
01:35:49
◼
►
pretty well this is what we're gonna go
[TS]
01:35:50
◼
►
with so that approach would be
[TS]
01:35:52
◼
►
essentially a new framework that's not
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
apt-get but not UI kit but it looks very
[TS]
01:35:57
◼
►
much like UI kit and lets people reuse
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
some of their code from UI kit maybe
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
with small tweaks but a lot of their
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
skills I like to kind of know a table of
[TS]
01:36:06
◼
►
use work I know how buttons work I know
[TS]
01:36:08
◼
►
how you know animations and transitions
[TS]
01:36:10
◼
►
work right and there's tons of new stuff
[TS]
01:36:12
◼
►
you have to learn to with menus and so
[TS]
01:36:13
◼
►
on and so forth but that's one approach
[TS]
01:36:16
◼
►
a second approach is make a new toolkit
[TS]
01:36:20
◼
►
and unfortunately Apple has really used
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
up all the a lot of the good names it's
[TS]
01:36:25
◼
►
a kit for making apps we can't call it
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
app kid it's a UI q I'll not forget
[TS]
01:36:28
◼
►
about that one it's an H I tool button
[TS]
01:36:30
◼

oh never mind like they really use H I
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
kid is one of the ones I've heard like
[TS]
01:36:34
◼
►
you can combine kit with anyway come up
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
with a new framework that looks almost
[TS]
01:36:39
◼
►
exactly like UI Kipp is it presently the
[TS]
01:36:41
◼
►
rocket represents the best thinking the
[TS]
01:36:43
◼
►
company has about how to make a UI but
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
with changes to fundamental things about
[TS]
01:36:48
◼
►
it that allow it to handle all the
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
things the Mac does menus cursors you
[TS]
01:36:54
◼
►
know scroll bars blah blah and also all
[TS]
01:36:56
◼
►
the things you eye kid does so that's
[TS]
01:36:58
◼
►
the that's the kind of the actual sort
[TS]
01:37:00
◼
►
of grand unified like there's one
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
framework to write applications for
[TS]
01:37:05
◼
►
everything and that would mean that it's
[TS]
01:37:07
◼
►
not a shim on top of app kit that
[TS]
01:37:10
◼
►
presumably they would implement whatever
[TS]
01:37:13
◼
►
behaviors they implemented would define
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
going forward what it means to be Mac
[TS]
01:37:16
◼
►
like right as opposed to now where app
[TS]
01:37:19
◼
►
kit defines what it means to be a Mac
[TS]
01:37:21
◼
►
like more or less an Afghan itself was
[TS]
01:37:23
◼
►
influenced by being smushed together
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
with carbon and a chai toolkit and all
[TS]
01:37:27
◼
►
that other stuff that's why that but
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
what defines our app a definition of Mac
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
like and that definition change from
[TS]
01:37:32
◼
►
classic Mac OS as well so it's not like
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
the definition of Mac like can't change
[TS]
01:37:36
◼
►
but yeah an entirely new framework to do
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
it and that new framework would also be
[TS]
01:37:40
◼
►
the same new framework that people use
[TS]
01:37:41
◼
►
for iOS so when you wrote your iOS
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
application you would also you this is
[TS]
01:37:44
◼
►
like the one new
[TS]
01:37:46
◼
►
framework that can do everything the
[TS]
01:37:49
◼
►
risks and that are hey why you messin up
[TS]
01:37:51
◼
►
all these these iOS developers days well
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
I learned all this UI kit stuff and now
[TS]
01:37:55
◼
►
I have to learn this new thing yeah it
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
looks like not like you are capable why
[TS]
01:37:58
◼
►
do I want to use that if it's just like
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
you like it but suddenly different with
[TS]
01:38:00
◼
►
a bunch of mad crap that I don't care
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
about why would I learn that so that's
[TS]
01:38:05
◼
►
that is more difficult to pull off and
[TS]
01:38:07
◼
►
risky but potentially the reward is
[TS]
01:38:08
◼
►
finally Apple has one way to write
[TS]
01:38:10
◼
►
applications for all its platforms and
[TS]
01:38:12
◼
►
you know they have a unified API but in
[TS]
01:38:16
◼
►
all these solutions and I think the real
[TS]
01:38:17
◼
►
place where this any of these solutions
[TS]
01:38:20
◼
►
are gonna be really hard to come up with
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
something that ends up being you know a
[TS]
01:38:25
◼
►
win for all involved is you know as this
[TS]
01:38:29
◼
►
headline you know incorrectly states
[TS]
01:38:32
◼
►
it's not one user experience for
[TS]
01:38:33
◼
►
everybody Apple still seems dedicated to
[TS]
01:38:36
◼
►
the idea that a mouse pointer and cursor
[TS]
01:38:38
◼
►
and like you know the Mac user interface
[TS]
01:38:40
◼
►
will continue to be a thing and
[TS]
01:38:43
◼
►
applications that work like that are
[TS]
01:38:45
◼
►
different than applications that work
[TS]
01:38:47
◼
►
when you're touching them with your
[TS]
01:38:48
◼
►
finger and fundamental important ways
[TS]
01:38:50
◼
►
and there's really no way to say this
[TS]
01:38:52
◼
►
one magic application just naturally
[TS]
01:38:54
◼
►
works everywhere I made a tweet earlier
[TS]
01:38:55
◼
►
today was write thrice run anywhere
[TS]
01:38:58
◼
►
which is a joke on the old java thing of
[TS]
01:39:00
◼
►
write once run anywhere write thrice
[TS]
01:39:02
◼
►
means even if it is a unified toolkit
[TS]
01:39:05
◼
►
and it's the same thing everywhere you
[TS]
01:39:06
◼
►
use Xcode use one framework and you
[TS]
01:39:08
◼
►
write an application that runs on all
[TS]
01:39:09
◼
►
these platforms you still have
[TS]
01:39:11
◼
►
essentially two quote unquote right at
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
thrice which means you have to write the
[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►
Mac version and do all the stuff with
[TS]
01:39:17
◼
►
the menus and the keyboard shortcuts and
[TS]
01:39:18
◼
►
the drag-and-drop and everything that
[TS]
01:39:19
◼
►
the Mac has to do and you know right you
[TS]
01:39:21
◼
►
have to write the iPhone version which
[TS]
01:39:23
◼
►
is a known quantity and you have to
[TS]
01:39:25
◼
►
write the iPad version it's like well
[TS]
01:39:27
◼
►
why do you have to write the iPad
[TS]
01:39:28
◼
►
version that's not another version ask
[TS]
01:39:29
◼
►
somebody with an iOS app if the iPad
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
version comes are free because they use
[TS]
01:39:32
◼
►
UIKit it does not come for free you have
[TS]
01:39:35
◼
►
to not write it thrice like it three
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
times the application but just because
[TS]
01:39:40
◼
►
the screen gets bigger you have to say
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
let me three think how my application
[TS]
01:39:43
◼
►
works right I have to add new elements
[TS]
01:39:45
◼
►
to it I have to potentially add new
[TS]
01:39:47
◼
►
features you know like it's not enough
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
to just be in a phone app that is
[TS]
01:39:51
◼
►
stretched to be a little bit wider so
[TS]
01:39:53
◼
►
there's no way of avoiding having to
[TS]
01:39:57
◼
►
write a good application for every
[TS]
01:39:58
◼
►
platform yeah
[TS]
01:39:59
◼
►
the platform's continue to be different
[TS]
01:40:01
◼
►
in both form factor and in the case of
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
the Mac you know interface paradigm like
[TS]
01:40:08
◼
►
that's very different and an environment
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
yeah any no no framework no UI framework
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
will ever eliminate that work all it can
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
do is say the only work you have to do
[TS]
01:40:19
◼
►
is that work to make a good a good
[TS]
01:40:21
◼
►
application of Marxism a good app but
[TS]
01:40:22
◼
►
you won't have to relearn how like
[TS]
01:40:24
◼
►
colors work right you don't have to
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
relearn how like to play audio like you
[TS]
01:40:30
◼
►
know just that that they'll unify the
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
underlying things and have one unified
[TS]
01:40:35
◼
►
framework and one unified language and
[TS]
01:40:37
◼
►
IDE and one unified binary but you still
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
have to design essentially three
[TS]
01:40:41
◼
►
different applications of three very
[TS]
01:40:42
◼
►
different forms and by the way the watch
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
which you know they could unify that as
[TS]
01:40:46
◼
►
well and not have watchkit and have that
[TS]
01:40:47
◼
►
would be a variant of this thing if they
[TS]
01:40:48
◼
►
want to go whole hog but there's no
[TS]
01:40:50
◼
►
there's no avoiding that it's not one
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
user experience it's one I guess
[TS]
01:40:55
◼
►
framework one language you know and
[TS]
01:40:58
◼
►
maybe not even that if they end up going
[TS]
01:40:59
◼
►
with the Shem approach so I believe they
[TS]
01:41:03
◼
►
have to do this but boy there's a lot of
[TS]
01:41:06
◼
►
ways it could mess up and so I I wish
[TS]
01:41:09
◼
►
them luck so if if they go whole new
[TS]
01:41:12
◼
►
framework so they make a chai kit or
[TS]
01:41:15
◼
►
whatever you want to call it I mean come
[TS]
01:41:16
◼
►
on it's Swift there's nowhere just be
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
called kit well in it's funny it's funny
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
you say that because my question was
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
going to be do they abandon Objective C
[TS]
01:41:26
◼
►
I don't see why that would be either
[TS]
01:41:30
◼
►
productive or necessary but Marco do you
[TS]
01:41:33
◼
►
think they would abandon Objective C and
[TS]
01:41:34
◼
►
this hypothetical a chai kit I mean if
[TS]
01:41:37
◼
►
it's scheduled if it's intended to you
[TS]
01:41:41
◼
►
know be in development now and come out
[TS]
01:41:42
◼
►
in in like a year or two maybe but as
[TS]
01:41:47
◼
►
time goes on on a finite time scale you
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
know in a few like the longer it is from
[TS]
01:41:54
◼
►
now I think the more likely that that
[TS]
01:41:55
◼
►
would be the approach but yeah I mean
[TS]
01:41:58
◼
►
I'm not even gonna say it's unlikely
[TS]
01:41:59
◼
►
even now I would say that that would be
[TS]
01:42:04
◼
►
reasonable like I don't think that would
[TS]
01:42:06
◼
►
be overly aggressive to make kit require
[TS]
01:42:10
◼
►
Swift like to be a swift only framework
[TS]
01:42:13
◼
►
that's different than saying Objective C
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
is gone because like even if they went
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
full Swift you have to keep the
[TS]
01:42:18
◼
►
objective-c runtime around for a really
[TS]
01:42:20
◼
►
really long time because it's how Swift
[TS]
01:42:22
◼
►
calls in to all the other code right so
[TS]
01:42:24
◼
►
it you know so like but that's not were
[TS]
01:42:26
◼
►
talk we're just I'm like would you have
[TS]
01:42:27
◼
►
to write it in Objective C right the one
[TS]
01:42:29
◼
►
thing I think they probably will do is
[TS]
01:42:31
◼
►
no 32-bit ever four well yeah this thing
[TS]
01:42:34
◼
►
is the Mac itself as it exists is gonna
[TS]
01:42:37
◼
►
lose 32-bit probably next year right so
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
that's that's a gimme it's possible that
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
depending on the timelines if they
[TS]
01:42:45
◼
►
switch the Mac to arm this could be arm
[TS]
01:42:47
◼
►
only depending on you know is this one
[TS]
01:42:49
◼
►
year five year or whatever you know that
[TS]
01:42:52
◼
►
that timeline could coincide to simplify
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
matters these are all low-level things
[TS]
01:42:55
◼
►
they're really in the end don't matter
[TS]
01:42:57
◼
►
like I think we're into it because you
[TS]
01:42:59
◼
►
know either software developers or into
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
software development things and we're
[TS]
01:43:02
◼
►
interested in the nitty-gritty details
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
but the bottom line like the most
[TS]
01:43:06
◼
►
interesting from the consumers
[TS]
01:43:07
◼
►
perspective is Apple's plan to continue
[TS]
01:43:11
◼
►
to sell devices of different sizes in
[TS]
01:43:14
◼
►
different forms utility so you know
[TS]
01:43:16
◼
►
things that we call max things that we
[TS]
01:43:18
◼
►
call iPhones things that we call iPads
[TS]
01:43:20
◼
►
things that we call watchers all which
[TS]
01:43:21
◼
►
have different ways to interact with
[TS]
01:43:24
◼
►
them some are closer to each other than
[TS]
01:43:26
◼
►
other iPads are very similar to an
[TS]
01:43:28
◼
►
iPhone but a watch is very different
[TS]
01:43:29
◼
►
from both of them and the Mac is very
[TS]
01:43:31
◼
►
different from the iOS devices but
[TS]
01:43:33
◼
►
there's a range of hardware devices they
[TS]
01:43:34
◼
►
sell and partly and presumably will
[TS]
01:43:37
◼
►
continue to sell because they're not
[TS]
01:43:39
◼
►
giving up on that range like they're not
[TS]
01:43:40
◼
►
you know they can make new hybrids like
[TS]
01:43:42
◼
►
Jason and I talked to an upgrade about
[TS]
01:43:44
◼
►
an iOS laptop like there's other form
[TS]
01:43:47
◼
►
factors that can be explored and the
[TS]
01:43:49
◼
►
other one is obviously touch coming to
[TS]
01:43:50
◼
►
the Mac and how that might influence
[TS]
01:43:51
◼
►
things but we case you mentioned
[TS]
01:43:54
◼
►
Microsoft is a beginning of this topic I
[TS]
01:43:57
◼
►
think that's an important lesson because
[TS]
01:43:59
◼
►
Microsoft for all its success or failure
[TS]
01:44:02
◼
►
in actually pulling this off was way
[TS]
01:44:04
◼
►
ahead on the thinking of we're gonna try
[TS]
01:44:06
◼
►
to make one software platform that lets
[TS]
01:44:09
◼
►
you write applications for all sorts of
[TS]
01:44:11
◼
►
different weird form factors and so they
[TS]
01:44:14
◼
►
have laptops that are convertible into
[TS]
01:44:15
◼
►
tablets but have touch screens on them
[TS]
01:44:17
◼
►
but they also have tablets in at one
[TS]
01:44:18
◼
►
time they had phones and they tried to
[TS]
01:44:20
◼
►
run the whole range with a single
[TS]
01:44:23
◼
►
unified platform that you'd have to
[TS]
01:44:24
◼
►
write you know different style
[TS]
01:44:26
◼
►
application
[TS]
01:44:27
◼
►
for I forget what was their thing was
[TS]
01:44:28
◼
►
like wnp or something like that they had
[TS]
01:44:30
◼
►
an acronym for UMP I believe
[TS]
01:44:32
◼
►
yeah unified Windows platform or
[TS]
01:44:34
◼
►
something yeah that that approach if
[TS]
01:44:39
◼
►
Apple could snap its fingers and have
[TS]
01:44:41
◼
►
something like that now they would love
[TS]
01:44:43
◼
►
to have it because the hard work is
[TS]
01:44:45
◼
►
coming up with a free single framework
[TS]
01:44:46
◼
►
that could span all those things but as
[TS]
01:44:49
◼
►
far as consumers concerned the
[TS]
01:44:50
◼
►
interesting part is so can I buy a thing
[TS]
01:44:53
◼
►
from Apple where it like runs Mac you
[TS]
01:44:56
◼
►
know it runs Adobe Photoshop like the
[TS]
01:44:58
◼
►
legacy version but also I can get all
[TS]
01:45:00
◼
►
the new apps but also I can touch a
[TS]
01:45:01
◼
►
screen but also it looks like a laptop
[TS]
01:45:03
◼
►
like the the unified apple platform is a
[TS]
01:45:08
◼
►
time to make different decisions about
[TS]
01:45:10
◼
►
the boundaries between these things like
[TS]
01:45:13
◼
►
you can get rid of the Mac iOS whatever
[TS]
01:45:14
◼
►
distinction and try to have these
[TS]
01:45:15
◼
►
Universal apps and we're all set
[TS]
01:45:17
◼
►
exciting economics for now that's a
[TS]
01:45:18
◼
►
whole the can of worms but like I think
[TS]
01:45:20
◼
►
it is an opportunity to revisit how
[TS]
01:45:22
◼
►
those boundaries are drawn because if
[TS]

you're making a new framework or you
[TS]
01:45:27
◼

know a new shim type framework or
[TS]
01:45:29
◼
►
whatever it is that you're doing that's
[TS]
01:45:31
◼

an opportunity to consider how could the
[TS]
01:45:33
◼

Mac be different in ways that allow you
[TS]
01:45:35
◼
►
to make touch a useful interface for
[TS]
01:45:38
◼
►
Macs and if you've used the windows
[TS]
01:45:40
◼
►
convertible or laptop with a touchscreen
[TS]
01:45:42
◼
►
or whatever you have some experience
[TS]
01:45:44
◼
►
with this a Microsoft is way ahead in
[TS]
01:45:46
◼

both figuring out what makes sense for
[TS]
01:45:49
◼
►
touching the screens of PCs for lack of
[TS]
01:45:53
◼

a better term and also making the
[TS]
01:45:55
◼
►
frameworks that allow you to do it
[TS]
01:45:57
◼
►
Apple's lucky that they just haven't
[TS]
01:45:58
◼
►
been particularly successful in the
[TS]
01:45:59
◼
►
market with their approach but like that
[TS]
01:46:02
◼
►
you learn you learn by doing and
[TS]
01:46:03
◼
►
Microsoft has done many different
[TS]
01:46:06
◼
►
attempts at this and from all accounts
[TS]
01:46:08
◼
►
each time they try their new surface
[TS]
01:46:12
◼
►
whatever thing and the new operating
[TS]
01:46:13
◼
►
system that runs on it makes a an ever
[TS]
01:46:16
◼
►
more compelling case for being open to
[TS]
01:46:19
◼
►
different form factors and different
[TS]
01:46:21
◼
►
kinds of input instead of the sort of
[TS]
01:46:24
◼
►
rather rigid boundary certainly between
[TS]
01:46:26
◼
►
the Mac and iOS but arguably also
[TS]
01:46:28
◼
►
between like you know the iOS devices of
[TS]
01:46:31
◼

different sizes so I'm I'm most excited
[TS]
01:46:33
◼
►
from a consumer perspective of seeing
[TS]
01:46:35
◼
►
Apple like that's what I want out of a
[TS]
01:46:37
◼
►
unified thing is not like yeah the
[TS]
01:46:38
◼
►
unified technical underpinnings would be
[TS]
01:46:39
◼
►
awesome but like
[TS]
01:46:40
◼
►
that finally it gives the Apple the
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
freedom to spread it to to make new
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
variations along the spectrum instead of
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
being siloed into this is what a max
[TS]
01:46:51
◼
►
like and this is what a phone is like
[TS]
01:46:53
◼
►
and they're so different for each other
[TS]
01:46:54
◼
►
and there's no crossover and don't try
[TS]
01:46:56
◼
►
to do it no iOS laptops no touchscreen
[TS]
01:46:58
◼
►
max never never never if it's a unified
[TS]
01:47:00
◼
►
platform there's no reason for that
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
distinction anymore and now they could
[TS]
01:47:03
◼
►
start exploring different steps along
[TS]
01:47:05
◼
►
the spectrum yeah I actually look
[TS]
01:47:07
◼
►
forward to that because I do think it's
[TS]
01:47:10
◼
►
pretty clear like the industry and and
[TS]
01:47:12
◼
►
consumers have spoken on the issue of
[TS]
01:47:15
◼
►
like touch laptops and as much as Apple
[TS]
01:47:18
◼
►
says this isn't a good experience nobody
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
wants this it turns out a lot of people
[TS]
01:47:22
◼
►
want it and they do it anyway and they
[TS]
01:47:24
◼
►
try it and they touch their screens
[TS]
01:47:25
◼
►
nothing happens and they get like this
[TS]
01:47:27
◼
►
is like Apple is losing that fight in
[TS]
01:47:30
◼
►
the in actuality whether they know it or
[TS]
01:47:32
◼
►
not and I think they probably do know it
[TS]
01:47:34
◼
►
at this point you know they tried they
[TS]
01:47:36
◼
►
tried like one last-ditch effort with
[TS]
01:47:38
◼
►
touch bar and giant trackpads but that's
[TS]
01:47:41
◼
►
not enough that's not what people
[TS]
01:47:42
◼
►
actually want what people actually want
[TS]
01:47:43
◼
►
is to have to touch the screen sometimes
[TS]
01:47:45
◼
►
or to be able to suck screen sometimes
[TS]
01:47:46
◼
►
like that's what people are actually
[TS]
01:47:48
◼
►
doing and wanting and expecting so
[TS]
01:47:51
◼
►
anything that gets us closer to that I
[TS]
01:47:54
◼
►
think is a good direction for the Mac to
[TS]
01:47:56
◼
►
take because again the reality is like
[TS]
01:47:58
◼
►
this is what people are doing and a lot
[TS]
01:48:01
◼
►
is I think the whole idea of this of
[TS]
01:48:04
◼
►
like this cross-platform UI framework
[TS]
01:48:06
◼
►
needing to exist I think you know you
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
put it well John that like regardless of
[TS]
01:48:11
◼
►
what you think people should do here you
[TS]
01:48:15
◼
►
know a lot of maxvill person people
[TS]
01:48:17
◼
►
should just write Mac apps and app kit
[TS]
01:48:18
◼
►
and yeah that they should but they're
[TS]
01:48:20
◼
►
not the reality is very different the
[TS]
01:48:23
◼
►
reality is that all the action is
[TS]
01:48:27
◼
►
happening on iOS in in the Apple world
[TS]
01:48:29
◼
►
they can't get people to care enough
[TS]
01:48:32
◼
►
about the Mac to develop a lot of Mac
[TS]
01:48:34
◼
►
apps anymore the Mac feels increasingly
[TS]
01:48:36
◼
►
like a very stale low priority platform
[TS]
01:48:41
◼
►
for a lot of developers including Apple
[TS]
01:48:44
◼
►
they have to do something to make it
[TS]
01:48:47
◼
►
easier for people to bring max mac apps
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
over and if they don't we're gonna keep
[TS]
01:48:51
◼
►
we're gonna have the situation we have
[TS]
01:48:53
◼
►
now on the Mac that's going to slow
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
worsen which is right now we already
[TS]
01:48:57
◼
►
have like tons of major applications
[TS]
01:48:59
◼
►
that are either that are not available
[TS]
01:49:02
◼
►
on the Mac that or the or that have
[TS]
01:49:05
◼
►
really neglected low priority Mac
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
versions like the Twitter app you know
[TS]
01:49:09
◼
►
and then we have a lot of apps that say
[TS]
01:49:12
◼
►
oh just use the web app and I'm good
[TS]
01:49:16
◼
►
myself obviously Netflix is a great
[TS]
01:49:18
◼
►
example because you can't even watch 4k
[TS]
01:49:20
◼
►
Netflix on a Mac because there's no 4k
[TS]
01:49:22
◼
►
support probably some dumb copyright
[TS]
01:49:23
◼
►
reason right exactly and like there's so
[TS]
01:49:25
◼
►
many types of apps where the answer on
[TS]
01:49:28
◼
►
the Mac is either a sorry we don't
[TS]
01:49:31
◼
►
support it or juice use our web app best
[TS]
01:49:34
◼
►
case scenario
[TS]
01:49:35
◼
►
for something for a lot of complex
[TS]
01:49:36
◼
►
things like slack you get these like
[TS]
01:49:38
◼
►
weird web native apps that nobody likes
[TS]
01:49:40
◼
►
because they're terrible in a lot of
[TS]
01:49:41
◼
►
ways and perform badly and use all your
[TS]
01:49:43
◼
►
RAM and aren't Mac like and everything
[TS]
01:49:45
◼
►
else so like anything like that's the
[TS]
01:49:48
◼
►
status quo that's the reality like the
[TS]
01:49:50
◼
►
reality is app kit is the past it's and
[TS]
01:49:54
◼
►
and as as capable as it is the people
[TS]
01:49:58
◼
►
who know it the market has said
[TS]
01:50:01
◼
►
otherwise economics have said otherwise
[TS]
01:50:03
◼
►
and people's attention has it has it
[TS]
01:50:04
◼
►
otherwise it in many ways it's it's
[TS]
01:50:07
◼
►
similar to Swift versus Objective C in
[TS]
01:50:11
◼
►
that Objective C like for people like me
[TS]
01:50:13
◼
►
who know it really well Swift came along
[TS]
01:50:16
◼
►
and we're like we don't need I don't
[TS]
01:50:17
◼
►
need that that like I I want to just
[TS]
01:50:20
◼
►
keep using the thing I already know how
[TS]
01:50:21
◼
►
to use it's totally fine but the reality
[TS]
01:50:23
◼
►
was one of the reasons they did need
[TS]
01:50:25
◼
►
Swift looked we we talked about at the
[TS]
01:50:27
◼
►
time it came out is that it is it
[TS]
01:50:30
◼
►
Objective C was old and crufty and it
[TS]
01:50:32
◼
►
and it turned off new developers
[TS]
01:50:34
◼
►
developers were actively avoiding write
[TS]
01:50:36
◼
►
a Objective C because it was old and
[TS]
01:50:39
◼
►
crufty and it would didn't fit modern
[TS]
01:50:41
◼
►
aesthetics for programming languages app
[TS]
01:50:44
◼
►
kit has that problem as an as an entire
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
API like app kit is really old and
[TS]
01:50:49
◼
►
crufty and when an iOS developer sees
[TS]
01:50:53
◼
►
advocate for the first time it is not a
[TS]
01:50:56
◼
►
positive impression at all and any and
[TS]
01:50:59
◼
►
and as an iOS developer working through
[TS]
01:51:01
◼
►
this and I know other people who've done
[TS]
01:51:02
◼
►
the same thing it's like it's really it
[TS]
01:51:05
◼
►
doesn't ever let up like there are
[TS]
01:51:07
◼
►
certain parts of it
[TS]
01:51:08
◼
►
like when you when you first discover
[TS]
01:51:10
◼
►
like what and as document does
[TS]
01:51:11
◼
►
automatically for you you're like wow
[TS]
01:51:13
◼
►
this is really capable this is awesome
[TS]
01:51:14
◼
►
but there's just so much friction in
[TS]
01:51:17
◼
►
getting those interfaces developed and
[TS]
01:51:19
◼
►
to be clear like the lower-level
[TS]
01:51:21
◼
►
frameworks like I'll do all the audio
[TS]
01:51:23
◼
►
stuff a lot of the you know data types
[TS]
01:51:25
◼
►
and stuff a lot of those things are
[TS]
01:51:27
◼
►
already unified like a lot of the
[TS]
01:51:29
◼
►
networking like there's so much stuff
[TS]
01:51:30
◼
►
that is already unified between two
[TS]
01:51:32
◼
►
platforms the main area where this is
[TS]
01:51:34
◼
►
necessary is the UI layer and there are
[TS]
01:51:37
◼
►
just so many differences it's not like
[TS]
01:51:40
◼
►
so many things work completely
[TS]
01:51:43
◼
►
differently between a Mac OS and iOS
[TS]
01:51:44
◼
►
it's a huge barrier to developing for
[TS]
01:51:47
◼
►
the Mac it is so hostile and unfriendly
[TS]
01:51:52
◼
►
and and you can't look up help on the
[TS]
01:51:54
◼
►
web because there's almost no results
[TS]
01:51:56
◼
►
for it and it's just it's it's like a
[TS]
01:51:59
◼
►
ghost town of old Croft and on
[TS]
01:52:02
◼
►
friendliness and I know that's not like
[TS]
01:52:04
◼
►
if you know if you're familiar with it
[TS]
01:52:06
◼
►
if you're an expert in app kit you don't
[TS]
01:52:08
◼
►
see it that way but for all the rest of
[TS]
01:52:11
◼
►
the iOS developers who are not familiar
[TS]
01:52:13
◼
►
with it that is how it is so even though
[TS]
01:52:16
◼
►
it is fine for its current developers it
[TS]
01:52:20
◼
►
needs to change because the entire world
[TS]
01:52:23
◼
►
has changed around it so something has
[TS]
01:52:26
◼
►
to happen here and the Mac if they gave
[TS]
01:52:29
◼
►
the Mac its own completely new UI
[TS]
01:52:31
◼
►
framework that was not shared with
[TS]
01:52:32
◼
►
anything look what happened with TV OS
[TS]
01:52:34
◼
►
TV OS had that it had a whole new
[TS]
01:52:37
◼
►
framework that was mostly not UI kit and
[TS]
01:52:39
◼
►
kind of has its own stuff it although it
[TS]
01:52:42
◼
►
has way more in common with UI kit that
[TS]
01:52:43
◼
►
app kit does and making a TV OS app is
[TS]
01:52:47
◼
►
really uncompelled because you have to
[TS]
01:52:50
◼
►
rewrite your entire UI from scratch and
[TS]
01:52:51
◼
►
it's just not very good watch OS has a
[TS]
01:52:53
◼
►
similar problem like watch kit is very
[TS]
01:52:55
◼
►
little like you like it and although
[TS]
01:52:57
◼
►
it's still way more like at the napkin
[TS]
01:52:59
◼
►
and and making a watchkit app is really
[TS]
01:53:02
◼
►
not compelling because it's a these are
[TS]
01:53:03
◼
►
like smaller usage platforms the iPad is
[TS]
01:53:07
◼
►
a great example and I think probably
[TS]
01:53:09
◼
►
honestly a big part of why this kind of
[TS]
01:53:11
◼
►
thing might be might be done on the iPad
[TS]
01:53:15
◼
►
you know John you said earlier like you
[TS]
01:53:16
◼
►
know you don't get an iPad app for free
[TS]
01:53:18
◼
►
but you do get it for cheap like like if
[TS]
01:53:21
◼
►
you have it
[TS]
01:53:22
◼
►
phone app to port to the iPad is effort
[TS]
01:53:25
◼
►
but it's not a ton of effort it's
[TS]
01:53:27
◼
►
nowhere near the amount of effort
[TS]
01:53:28
◼
►
because he uses the same UI framework
[TS]
01:53:30
◼
►
but then like to make a good iPad app
[TS]
01:53:32
◼
►
you have to redesign some part of it
[TS]
01:53:34
◼
►
yeah but it's like you know like
[TS]
01:53:36
◼
►
overcast iPad app is used by something
[TS]
01:53:38
◼
►
like 5% or less of people I use it every
[TS]
01:53:40
◼
►
day but most most people don't use it
[TS]
01:53:41
◼
►
but it was you know it's about 5% extra
[TS]
01:53:46
◼
►
work to do it also so like it was worth
[TS]
01:53:48
◼
►
it to me and and yeah it could be better
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
than it is
[TS]
01:53:50
◼
►
it could be more optimized but it
[TS]
01:53:53
◼
►
doesn't need to be like right now it's
[TS]
01:53:54
◼
►
fine on the iPad there's no glaring
[TS]
01:53:57
◼
►
shortcomings with it it's totally fine
[TS]
01:53:58
◼
►
and I didn't it didn't need to be that
[TS]
01:54:01
◼
►
much work and it isn't that much of a
[TS]
01:54:02
◼
►
maintenance headache ongoing if the Mac
[TS]
01:54:05
◼
►
can be anywhere near that I don't expect
[TS]
01:54:07
◼
►
I don't I don't expect a Mac the Mac to
[TS]
01:54:09
◼
►
be as easy to port it to be harder
[TS]
01:54:12
◼
►
because you got menus and all and no
[TS]
01:54:14
◼
►
touch interface right right so it's not
[TS]
01:54:16
◼
►
gonna be the same it's not going to be
[TS]
01:54:18
◼
►
as easy as porting from you know to the
[TS]
01:54:20
◼
►
to the iPad from from iPhone but if it
[TS]
01:54:23
◼
►
can be somewhere near that if it can be
[TS]
01:54:26
◼
►
like only three times harder instead of
[TS]
01:54:29
◼
►
20 times harder like that's a huge huge
[TS]
01:54:32
◼
►
gain that could lead to so many more Mac
[TS]
01:54:36
◼
►
apps and and honestly I know as you said
[TS]
01:54:39
◼
►
John honestly I think I'm not sure the
[TS]
01:54:41
◼
►
Mac has much of a choice because the
[TS]
01:54:43
◼
►
reality is that if they don't do
[TS]
01:54:45

something like this it's just going to
[TS]
01:54:48
◼

keep stagnating and it will die that is
[TS]
01:54:50
◼
►
it like that is that is the future of
[TS]
01:54:52
◼
►
the Mac it has no future if they don't
[TS]
01:54:54
◼

find a way to make it easier to develop
[TS]
01:54:56

apps for the Mac if you already have an
[TS]
01:54:59
◼

iOS codebase
[TS]
01:55:00
◼
►
all the other way that have a future is
[TS]
01:55:01
◼
►
to sell a hundred times more Mac's but
[TS]
01:55:03
◼
►
that's that's a tall order yeah I think
[TS]
01:55:06
◼
►
if you could suddenly sell as many maxes
[TS]
01:55:07
◼

you so iPhones this problem takes care
[TS]
01:55:09
◼
►
of itself and people just continue to
[TS]
01:55:10
◼
►
write an app kit and you're fine but
[TS]
01:55:11
◼
►
that's not the reality right exactly
[TS]
01:55:13
◼
►
so one more technical thing on this this
[TS]
01:55:17
◼
►
is not this is not likely but I like
[TS]
01:55:19
◼
►
thinking about ways you could possibly
[TS]
01:55:21
◼
►
get this win another problem Apple has
[TS]
01:55:23
◼
►
with its platforms arguably and you know
[TS]
01:55:27
◼
►
we can debate what the causes are but
[TS]
01:55:28
◼
►
there's a lot of applications a lot of
[TS]
01:55:31
◼
►
very sophisticated very powerful
[TS]
01:55:33
◼
►
applications are only available on the
[TS]
01:55:36
◼
►
and Apple would love for those
[TS]
01:55:37
◼
►
applications to be available on iOS
[TS]
01:55:39
◼
►
devices but for a variety of reasons
[TS]
01:55:41
◼
►
that's not always the case now if you
[TS]
01:55:44
◼
►
make a unified UI framework depending on
[TS]
01:55:46
◼
►
how you do it we're talking about a shim
[TS]
01:55:48
◼
►
layer that lets you basically write with
[TS]
01:55:49
◼
►
a UI kit like API but they call zap get
[TS]
01:55:52
◼
►
stuff under the covers as a quicker way
[TS]
01:55:54
◼
►
to let people reuse some of their code
[TS]
01:55:55
◼
►
and skills to write Mac applications you
[TS]
01:55:59
◼
►
could make something like that in the
[TS]
01:56:00
◼
►
reverse direction to let someone take a
[TS]
01:56:03
◼
►
complicated sophisticated Mac
[TS]
01:56:04
◼
►
application and and allow it to run on
[TS]
01:56:08
◼
►
iOS with some changes to make it work
[TS]
01:56:10
◼
►
for touch I'm sure Apple I mean I don't
[TS]
01:56:15
◼
►
know babbles frustrated by this but I
[TS]
01:56:16
◼
►
know a lot of users are frustrated by
[TS]
01:56:17
◼
►
the fact that there's no Photoshop for
[TS]
01:56:19
◼
►
the iPad right Adobe makes a Photoshop
[TS]
01:56:21
◼
►
for the iPad but it's not it's not
[TS]
01:56:23
◼
►
Photoshop Photoshop it's like then Adobe
[TS]
01:56:25
◼
►
makes a bunch of applications that try
[TS]
01:56:26
◼
►
to play to the strengths of the iOS
[TS]
01:56:27
◼
►
platform but none of them is full none
[TS]
01:56:29
◼
►
of them are full fledged Photoshop like
[TS]
01:56:30
◼
►
there and there other companies trying
[TS]
01:56:31
◼
►
to pick up that slack say find Adobe
[TS]
01:56:33
◼
►
you're not gonna do it trust me you
[TS]
01:56:34
◼
►
don't want to do it important Photoshop
[TS]
01:56:36
◼
►
to the capability wise like affinity
[TS]
01:56:39
◼
►
makes a bunch of great applications and
[TS]
01:56:40
◼
►
what's the other one the other
[TS]
01:56:41
◼
►
well-known one there's Pixelmator
[TS]
01:56:43
◼
►
picture meter pro affinity a core and a
[TS]
01:56:46
◼
►
whole lotta a whole lot of good ones
[TS]
01:56:47
◼
►
yeah there's a lot of applications that
[TS]
01:56:48
◼
►
are targeted but like but there's a lot
[TS]
01:56:50
◼
►
still a lot of sophisticated
[TS]
01:56:51
◼
►
applications that are only on the Mac
[TS]
01:56:52
◼
►
and you say well it's because the Mac is
[TS]
01:56:54
◼
►
powerful enough and so on and so forth
[TS]
01:56:55
◼
►
like all the excuses for why there's
[TS]
01:56:57
◼
►
only iMac eventually will come down to
[TS]
01:56:58
◼
►
well it's written in this framework that
[TS]
01:57:00
◼
►
doesn't run on iOS and we're not gonna
[TS]
01:57:02
◼
►
rewrite our whole application gets is
[TS]
01:57:03
◼
►
really big and complicated I mean the
[TS]
01:57:05
◼
►
only companies that can afford to do
[TS]
01:57:06
◼
►
stuff like that are Microsoft and even
[TS]
01:57:08
◼
►
their iOS versions are you know
[TS]
01:57:10
◼
►
Microsoft Word and Excel kind of a name
[TS]
01:57:13
◼
►
only like they're very different if you
[TS]
01:57:16
◼
►
can have a way to make a unified
[TS]
01:57:18
◼
►
framework and shim layer or something or
[TS]
01:57:19
◼
►
other that lets a bunch of Mac
[TS]
01:57:21
◼
►
developers with some amount of work that
[TS]
01:57:25
◼
►
is less than rewriting their entire
[TS]
01:57:26
◼
►
application which is you know it's
[TS]
01:57:28
◼
►
pretty easy to at that bar some some
[TS]
01:57:29
◼
►
smaller amount of work and rewrite
[TS]
01:57:31
◼
►
everything and UIKit let them sell their
[TS]
01:57:33
◼
►
well-known well-established extremely
[TS]
01:57:36
◼
►
powerful application for the 20 new 27
[TS]
01:57:38
◼
►
inch iPad pro that is a compelling case
[TS]
01:57:42
◼
►
and it solves it solves Mac developers
[TS]
01:57:44
◼
►
problems in that well now suddenly you
[TS]
01:57:45
◼
►
can address this market with your skills
[TS]
01:57:47
◼
►
that you have right but that's not why
[TS]
01:57:49
◼
►
cares about that gazelle just lets the
[TS]
01:57:51
◼
►
smack developers retire and die whatever
[TS]
01:57:52
◼
►
who cares it solves the problem Apple
[TS]
01:57:54
◼
►
has which is hey we would really like it
[TS]
01:57:57
◼
►
if we could get way more expensive
[TS]
01:57:58
◼
►
powerful applications on iOS Apple's
[TS]
01:58:01
◼
►
been trying that for a long time that's
[TS]
01:58:03
◼
►
why the iPad pro exists and it is
[TS]
01:58:05
◼
►
happening it is happening slowly but one
[TS]
01:58:07
◼
►
way to get a nice boost of complicated
[TS]
01:58:10
◼
►
powerful applications if you could
[TS]
01:58:11
◼
►
somehow make that happen now I think
[TS]
01:58:12
◼
►
that is not a big enough app side for up
[TS]
01:58:15
◼
►
side of people to undertake this it kind
[TS]
01:58:17
◼
►
of goes against what we're trying to get
[TS]
01:58:18
◼
►
people to do is to get people to stop
[TS]
01:58:20
◼
►
writing a napkin and who cares about the
[TS]
01:58:21
◼
►
10 Mac developers compared to the you
[TS]
01:58:24
◼
►
know thousand X number of them that are
[TS]
01:58:26
◼
►
on the other platform so I don't think
[TS]
01:58:28
◼
►
this will happen but for the briefest
[TS]
01:58:30
◼
►
moment I had the idea of like all our
[TS]
01:58:33
◼
►
greatest and favorite Mac applications
[TS]
01:58:35
◼
►
suddenly having cool iOS versions and
[TS]
01:58:39
◼
►
making iOS a more powerful platform and
[TS]
01:58:41
◼
►
giving new life to Mac developers but I
[TS]
01:58:44
◼
►
think that it's extremely unlikely but
[TS]
01:58:45
◼
►
it makes gives me a warm fuzzy to think
[TS]
01:58:47
◼
►
about it so one final question because I
[TS]
01:58:51
◼
►
can't help myself let's assume for the
[TS]
01:58:54
◼
►
sake of discussion that there's a fairly
[TS]
01:58:59
◼
►
complete break and it's not just a shim
[TS]
01:59:03
◼
►
it's a completely new H Ike it do you
[TS]
01:59:07
◼
►
think that Apple would follow the same
[TS]
01:59:09
◼
►
like delegation everywhere pattern that
[TS]
01:59:12
◼
►
that UI kid has today and I'm trying to
[TS]
01:59:15
◼
►
think of a way to summarize delegation
[TS]
01:59:17
◼
►
easily and I can't think of a great one
[TS]
01:59:19
◼
►
but you wanted to all be reactive well
[TS]
01:59:21
◼
►
that's exactly what I'm driving at may
[TS]
01:59:23
◼
►
be reactive app get as delegates all
[TS]
01:59:25
◼
►
over the place - is that what you're
[TS]
01:59:26
◼
►
comparing it to a delegation app kit
[TS]
01:59:28
◼
►
style I would say delegation as compared
[TS]
01:59:30
◼
►
to react style stuff like functional
[TS]
01:59:33
◼
►
reactive programming your so it doesn't
[TS]
01:59:35
◼
►
have to be FRP it doesn't have to be rx
[TS]
01:59:36
◼
►
Swift necessarily but like anything
[TS]
01:59:39
◼
►
that's more modern than delegation even
[TS]
01:59:42
◼
►
just closures everywhere which I
[TS]
01:59:44
◼
►
admittedly Apple is moving toward but
[TS]
01:59:46
◼
►
like yeah something more modern than
[TS]
01:59:48
◼
►
delegation do you think that it would be
[TS]
01:59:51
◼
►
a slight step forward such as closures
[TS]
01:59:55
◼
►
everywhere or do you think it would be a
[TS]
01:59:57
◼
►
whole hog like we're going to just burn
[TS]
01:59:59
◼
►
the world
[TS]
01:59:59
◼
►
the world
[TS]
00:00:00
◼
►
it feels like I haven't talked to you
[TS]
00:00:01
◼
►
gentlemen for seven days it definitely
[TS]
00:00:04
◼
►
hasn't been 48 hours definitely not it
[TS]
00:00:07
◼
►
has been exactly seven days since we
[TS]
00:00:09
◼
►
last spoke allegedly and boy there sure
[TS]
00:00:11
◼
►
was a lot of news seven days ago so I
[TS]
00:00:14
◼
►
think we should talk about that now I
[TS]
00:00:17
◼
►
think that sounds like a good idea are
[TS]
00:00:19
◼
►
we doing any sort of pre-show or are we
[TS]
00:00:20
◼
►
just gonna skip that I think that was
[TS]
00:00:22
◼
►
the pre-show so we're gonna start with
[TS]
00:00:26
◼
►
some follow-up and I'll be stoddard
[TS]
00:00:27
◼
►
right saying there's an Apple support
[TS]
00:00:28
◼
►
document entitled about secure boot
[TS]
00:00:31
◼
►
where it says and I'm quoting full
[TS]
00:00:33
◼
►
security is the default secure boot
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
setting offering the highest level of
[TS]
00:00:38
◼
►
security and this was it with regard to
[TS]
00:00:40
◼
►
the t2 chip the liquid metal chip that
[TS]
00:00:43
◼
►
is in the iMac Pro and it is the thing
[TS]
00:00:48
◼
►
where it will only let you boot stuff
[TS]
00:00:51
◼
►
that Apple signs in quasi not really at
[TS]
00:00:54
◼
►
all accurate summary so which one of you
[TS]
00:00:56
◼
►
guys put this in here any other thoughts
[TS]
00:00:58
◼
►
yeah just put it in there because are we
[TS]
00:01:01
◼
►
pretending that we're regarding this not
[TS]
00:01:04
◼
►
recording this two days after the pop-up
[TS]
00:01:06
◼
►
and this is a straightforward follow-up
[TS]
00:01:08
◼
►
we didn't know what the default was
[TS]
00:01:09
◼
►
Apple told us we've got a lot of
[TS]
00:01:11
◼
►
follow-up seven days ago about this and
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
we wanted to talk about it it's
[TS]
00:01:14
◼
►
interesting that the cranked up security
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
is the default one piece remember the
[TS]
00:01:19
◼
►
full security setting was the one that
[TS]
00:01:21
◼
►
doesn't even let you boot if you have an
[TS]
00:01:23
◼
►
old version of the OS and I'm having a
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
hard time figuring out who would find
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
that behavior desirable other than
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
people who have a bunch of Mac's
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
other than enterprise people and you
[TS]
00:01:34
◼
►
know my old definition of enterprise
[TS]
00:01:35
◼
►
software of like the people buying the
[TS]
00:01:37
◼
►
software and other people using it well
[TS]
00:01:39
◼
►
an enterprise situation is where the
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
people deciding how the computers work
[TS]
00:01:43
◼
►
are picking things based on how easy it
[TS]
00:01:46
◼
►
is for them to manage the computers not
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
based on how nice it is for the people
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
who have to use the computers to use
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
them but even though even for in an
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
enterprise scenario enterprise people
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
don't want their computers automatically
[TS]
00:01:57
◼
►
updating without them having extensively
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
tested that every single piece of
[TS]
00:02:01
◼
►
software on them is compatible with it
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
so I don't know that the Apple phrase is
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
this as being like the iPhone oh it's
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
like the I thought all this you know
[TS]
00:02:08
◼
►
physical security you know so much
[TS]
00:02:10
◼
►
stronger than the old just firmware
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
password now it's like an iOS device
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
but iOS devices don't refuse to boot
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
unless you up them and then they're
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
they're pretty naggy about it telling
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
you hey there's a new update look at
[TS]
00:02:20
◼
►
this red badge and your Settings app but
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
they don't that you know they don't for
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
actually force the update on you and
[TS]
00:02:25
◼
►
that's not must understanding how the
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
full security works but anyway when
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►
Marco gets his Mac Pro he will be able
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
to confirm this default and then I
[TS]
00:02:32
◼
►
suppose like just wait for the first dot
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
release of High Sierra to come out and
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
then reboot and see if it demands that
[TS]
00:02:39
◼
►
you update you'll be a good guinea pig
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
right well I it's I think we yeah a lot
[TS]
00:02:43
◼
►
of this remains to be seen but one thing
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
I misunderstood about it that I've seen
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
I've it seems like their language is
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
such that they don't necessarily require
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
you to have the latest they say that
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
they they can prevent you from booting
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
versions that Apple no longer trusts so
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
I think what that could mean and this is
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
not from PR this is just from things
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
I've read on the internet what that
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
probably means is like if there's a
[TS]
00:03:06
◼
►
version of the OS that is an older
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
version that that security holes were
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
discovered in and somebody tries to like
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
you know boot that maybe or install over
[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
your OS with that so they can get to
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
your stuff maybe that's what it's what
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
it's preventing which is a legitimate

security concern because I can't imagine
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
like if it's actually just like like
[TS]
00:03:26
◼
►
whatever is telling it
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
hey the newest version is you know ten
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
point thirteen point seven or whatever
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
first of all what mechanism doesn't even
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
learn about that from that's one
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
question but if it you know assuming
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
that the secure boot Enclave protection
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
unit we know whatever is enforcing this
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
assuming that doesn't like the version
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
you're running I can't imagine it would
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
just like brick your computer like it's
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
probably about preventing you from
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
rolling it back it's not it's gonna die
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
it's not gonna break it it's gonna it's
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
gonna download the update but but so
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
your computer can download updates
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
without you
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
approving it like I yeah like when you
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
boot it will download the update before
[TS]
00:04:06
◼
►
like as part of the initial boot
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
procedures like up I'm gonna boot but
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
wait a second I gotta do an update first
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
and so it will download front it'll know
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
from the internet what the latest
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
version is it'll know from the internet
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
all the information about like this is
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
this is what this is the advantage slash
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
whatever of having a whole other CPU
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
that you know that there is a procedure
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
to boot up the T to chip and that's the
[TS]
00:04:25
◼
►
thing going to the end
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
and they're looking at balls information
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
downloading the software update applying
[TS]
00:04:30
◼
►
it to your computer someone suffers but
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
but your idea about the fact that it's
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
not just like it has to be the latest
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
but that it's only in cases where Apple
[TS]
00:04:36
◼
►
says there's some version that we
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
absolutely don't want anyone running
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
that would make more sense to me because
[TS]
00:04:41
◼
►
if they do like a point release where
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
they fix like a bug in mail or something
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
you know you don't want you don't want
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
the thing to force that update or like
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
an update from Sierra to hi Sierra like
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
presumably the very last version of
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
Sierra or whatever it was ten twelve six
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
or whatever doesn't have any terrible
[TS]
00:04:58
◼
►
security flaws so it wouldn't force you
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
to download High Sierra when you boot it
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
would only force you to update if there
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
was some terrible security flaw in the
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
one you had I don't know we'll see
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
rather you'll see because you'll have
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
this thing I mean that's the only way
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
that I can figure that this makes sense
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
because any other any other
[TS]
00:05:16
◼
►
implementation of this I think would
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
wreak havoc and nobody would leave it on
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
especially because you mentioned
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
Enterprise like the last thing
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
Enterprise IT managers want is their
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
computers forcing them to update their
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
their OS like without them doing it or
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
approving it or testing it like that's
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
the last thing I prize people would want
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
so I I have to imagine this is about
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
like just not letting you know law
[TS]
00:05:39
◼
►
enforcement take your computer over and
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
overwrite your OS with an older version
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
that they have some tool that can hack
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
and get your stuff like that's that's
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
probably what this is about but
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
enterprise people do want you not to be
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
able to boot their computers off thanks
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
know disk they do want you not to be
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
able to install like malware on their
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
computers where people have like if
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
you're running a computer lab and a
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
college and you have kind of public
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
computers a lot of these features appeal
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
in that scenario of sort of protecting
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
the computer from the outside it's just
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
like the final straw is like oh and by
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
the way also updates may be forced on
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
you and that is you know that's that's a
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
bridge too far yeah I don't expect that
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
this would be used to aggressively
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
update like on day zero
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
I expect this would be to more
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
aggressively force along the stragglers
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
to the point that like Marco you're
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
still on Sierra not High Sierra on most
[TS]
00:06:27
◼
►
of your machines is that right on half
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
of my machines how many machines do you
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
have oh wait no I have the Mac Mini most
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
of my machines
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
I wish forgot about the Mac Mini it's
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
just like a headless server but the Mac
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
Mini still exists does its
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
work actually at this point if you had
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
secured boot it would probably refuse to
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
start because of its age anyway I bring
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
this up to say maybe had only run on a
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
third of its performance because can we
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►
not talk about that we're definitely
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
talking about that that was a huge deal
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
seven days ago it was a huge deal like
[TS]
00:07:00
◼
►
two or three weeks ago and everyone has
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
been begging begging us to talk about it
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
and I really have no interest in it but
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
we'll talk about it anyway the point is
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
I think at this point you know a couple
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
of months on this may be the time when
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
when a secure when a secure boot thing
[TS]
00:07:14
◼
►
may starts to compel you or try I guess
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
I was gonna say try but I guess it would
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
compel you to upgrade to High Sierra but
[TS]
00:07:20
◼
►
personally I can't imagine if I if I
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
were to get an iMac Pro or you know
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
whatever computers come with this in the
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
future I don't think I would turn this
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
from anything but full security like I
[TS]
00:07:31
◼
►
update not day zero or day one if you
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
will but I update reasonably quickly and
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
I don't think that personally I would
[TS]
00:07:39
◼
►
have any reason to crank this down and
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
it sounds like the two of you guys would
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
mark oh is that what you're saying that
[TS]
00:07:44
◼
►
you would not want to run it full
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
security it depends so I'm gonna have to
[TS]
00:07:48
◼
►
do some research
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
over the next negative three to six days
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
but it's it's it has to be something
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
more like preventing you from like
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
overriding the OS with an old hacked
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
version it has to be yeah you can't
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
imagine it's like I can't imagine it's
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
gonna like I'm gonna wake up my computer
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
one day and it's gonna say nope sorry
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
you can't run
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
ciara anymore like that's that I that I
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
don't think that's going that's gonna be
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
what they do because that again that
[TS]
00:08:13
◼
►
would just wreak havoc with so many like
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
big installations and people's needs and
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
everything I can't imagine so I'm gonna
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
give it the benefit of the doubt and
[TS]
00:08:20
◼
►
leave it on the default which is the
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
full security and you know if I'm proven
[TS]
00:08:23
◼
►
wrong in my research three or six days
[TS]
00:08:25
◼
►
ago then maybe I'll change mine if I
[TS]
00:08:29
◼
►
delete it from the show notes the
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
screenshot that cable had posted but my
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
recollection of it is that it is
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
different than the screenshot that is on
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
the Apple support document that we'll
[TS]
00:08:38
◼
►
put in the show notes and the wording
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
underneath what full security means from
[TS]
00:08:42
◼
►
cable screenshot it was full security
[TS]
00:08:44
◼
►
ensures that only the latest and most
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
secure software can be run right it
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
requires a network connection in
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
software installation right so that's
[TS]
00:08:53
◼
►
the old burdening OH
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
you know only the late is the most
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
secure software latest and most secure I
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
mean is that just saying like the latest
[TS]
00:08:59
◼
►
is always the most secure but latest is
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
pretty unambiguous new text on Apple's
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
page ensures that only your current OS
[TS]
00:09:06
◼
►
or signed operating system software
[TS]
00:09:08
◼
►
currently trusted by Apple can run and
[TS]
00:09:10
◼
►
that is very different very very
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
different you know so only your current
[TS]
00:09:14
◼
►
OS meaning whatever is currently on your
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
system or signed operating system
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
software currently trusted by Apple and
[TS]
00:09:20
◼
►
that's more like whether Marco was
[TS]
00:09:21
◼
►
talking about currently trusted by
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
Apple's Apple could say okay we put out
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
a bump point release that is no longer
[TS]
00:09:25
◼
►
trusted so that particular one can't run
[TS]
00:09:27
◼
►
but any of these other 20 versions are
[TS]
00:09:29
◼
►
all fine so maybe Apple it's changing
[TS]
00:09:31
◼
►
its mind I mean I guess I would assume
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
the one on the Apple site is the most
[TS]
00:09:36
◼
►
up-to-date one and I would assume that
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
the text changes reflect the reality of
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
the future but you know as we said Marco
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
will find out for us I guess and I'd
[TS]
00:09:44
◼
►
also like to reiterate what what John
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
you had said a little while ago about
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
any sort of larger organization wanting
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
complete and utter control over their
[TS]
00:09:53
◼
►
machines at my work which is a 500
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
employee company I I was put on the
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
blessed list that that I could install
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
High Sierra but by by default you are
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
not allowed to install High Sierra and
[TS]
00:10:05
◼
►
my work is actually fairly hands-off
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
with our machines like by default you
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
know average users do not get
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
administrator privileges but all
[TS]
00:10:12
◼
►
developers do in and they're generally
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
not too bad about giving us reasonably
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
full access to our computers and yet
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
despite that we are not allowed to
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
install upgrades of operating systems
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
without you know them having bless them
[TS]
00:10:28
◼
►
and so on and so forth and so they're
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
kind of sort of beta testing with a
[TS]
00:10:31
◼
►
group of I don't know 10 or 20 of us
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
internally of which I'm part of that but
[TS]
00:10:35
◼
►
a friend of mine works at a very very
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
large financial organization and I've
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
heard through this friend that their
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
computer pretty much is inoperable their
[TS]
00:10:47
◼
►
MacBook Pro is pretty much inoperable
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
unless they are connected to the
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
company's VPN or the company's Wi-Fi
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
like that's how stodgy these sorts of
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
larger companies especially in financial
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
services can get overtime is that this
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
person's computer they basically can't
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
get to anything on the Internet
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
even on their home Wi-Fi until they've
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
connected to Big Brother I mean to
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
accompany the company's VPN so that they
[TS]
00:11:15
◼
►
can be monitored I mean tracked I mean
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
just taken care of it's crazy out there
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
I can tell you anyway William Pierce
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
writes in there's a lot of women car
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
journalists these days but one blog that
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
sprung to mind is at Black Flag
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
jalopnik.com
[TS]
00:11:29
◼

and it's by Steph Schrader and Alex King
[TS]
00:11:31
◼

it's a great great place for racing new
[TS]
00:11:33
◼

solid coverage and they've gotten plenty
[TS]
00:11:35
◼
►
of scoops I have not had the chance to
[TS]
00:11:37
◼

check this out I've been pretty much off
[TS]
00:11:38
◼

the internet all day I'm assuming one of
[TS]
00:11:40
◼

the two of you did probably John yeah
[TS]
00:11:42
◼

this was a but we had an ask ap question
[TS]
00:11:45
◼

about you know car magazines and for
[TS]
00:11:48

00:14:59
◼
►
ATP Scott Lau he'd writes in what do you
[TS]
00:15:02
◼
►
think the odds are of a tension
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
detection on Apple watch it could really
[TS]
00:15:06
◼
►
refine race to wake display remains long
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
as long as you're looking at it turns on
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
with attention etc so quick recap on the
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
iPhone don't call it X there is a
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
feature by which if it realizes that
[TS]
00:15:18
◼
►
you're not actively looking at the phone
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
because it's using the front-facing like
[TS]
00:15:21
◼
►
camera array if you're not looking at
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
the phone it will dim itself reasonably
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
quickly and if it's dimmed but still on
[TS]
00:15:28
◼
►
it will actually turn itself to full
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
brightness again once it realizes you've
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
looked at it again and it's actually
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
extremely cool
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
and so Scots thought was hey could we
[TS]
00:15:38
◼
►
use that same tech in the Apple watch so
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
as you're looking at the Apple watch
[TS]
00:15:42
◼
►
then it will continue to be full
[TS]
00:15:44
◼
►
brightness it won't ever turn itself off
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
until it knows that you're no longer
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
looking at it at which case obviously it
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
can turn itself back down or offer etc
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
so my eyes like I I do think that this
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
will on an infinite time scale the thing
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
but I don't see it happening anytime
[TS]
00:16:00
◼
►
soon because even though they've taken
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
what was effectively a Microsoft Kinect
[TS]
00:16:03
◼
►
and shrank it down to B and the notch in
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
the iPhone 10 I don't see it becoming
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
small enough to be on the Apple watch
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
anytime soon much less having the
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
battery power to power it but that's
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
just me Marco what do you think yeah I
[TS]
00:16:17
◼
►
guess I don't think it makes a lot of
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
sense honestly because you know for all
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
the reasons you said like I can't
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
imagine that would have the battery
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
power to be constantly scanning to see
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
if you're looking at it or not and also
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►
for the feature of things like keeping
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
the screen on for a while if you are
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
looking at it again I it doesn't seem
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
like it's worth the power it doesn't
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
seem like they have the physical space
[TS]
00:16:38
◼
►
to put the sensors on the front of it I
[TS]
00:16:39
◼
►
don't think they intend for you to be
[TS]
00:16:41
◼
►
looking at the watch without touching it
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
for very long anyway alright John any
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
other thoughts if it had the battery
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
power to do the face detection dick
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
power all the cameras and have them do
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
all the things they should spend that
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
battery power and having a watch face
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
that never turns off I know it's
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
probably different amounts but like
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
that's the goal I think that's a better
[TS]
00:17:03
◼
►
goal like to basically get to the point
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
where the watch face never turns off
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
using using whatever better technology
[TS]
00:17:08
◼
►
better screens whatever they have to do
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
that's what you want
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
and so this in-between thing where you
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
burn a lot of battery energy trying to
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
be super smart about when you turn the
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
screen on and off seems like a bad
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
trade-off to me moving on
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
max Velasco not writes in I'm in the
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
market for a raid zero external SSD
[TS]
00:17:24
◼
►
storage I'm wondering what you what you
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
use and what you'd recommend I'm on a
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
Thunderbolt 2 machine but I'm open to a
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
backwards compatible Thunderbolt 3 Drive
[TS]
00:17:31
◼
►
if you happen to be using one thank you
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
for any advice I have precisely zero
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
input on this so Marco take it away as
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
mentioned seven days ago
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
Tiff's iMac has had a four drive raid
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
zero SSD Thunderbolt 2 enclosure for the
[TS]
00:17:48
◼
►
last few years
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
so I have I have a direct experience
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
with these they're fine
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
they're nothing special they tend to
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
come with really loud crappy fans I
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
replace the fan and hers with a much
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
quieter knock to a super quiet fan and
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
that was a very very good upgrade to do
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
to it that didn't seem to reduce the
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
life of anything at all because it's
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
really just cooling the very very hot
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
thunderbolt chip that's inside it's not
[TS]
00:18:11
◼
►
really no but SSDs don't need much
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
schooling themselves so it's fine it
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
we've never had any problems with it
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
like you know disconnecting or failing
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
or anything like that but they are it is
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
a fairly expensive solution a much
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
better solution if I don't know what
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
what Max's needs are here but if you can
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
all if you can at all avoid having an
[TS]
00:18:32
◼
►
external raid enclosure you'll be better
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
off for it if you can either just get
[TS]
00:18:36
◼
►
like one big disk of some sort or if you
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
can use network storage like an ass or
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
something like that like that's
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
generally better it's just less hassle
[TS]
00:18:47
◼
►
and less crap and unless you know that's
[TS]
00:18:49
◼
►
hardware to break and maintain but if
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
you still want to do this the enclosure
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
we got was from owz you know mac
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
sales.com I think it was a few hundred
[TS]
00:18:58
◼
►
dollars maybe for just for the enclosure
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
you know anything anything involving
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
multiple disk enclosures with a
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
thunderbolt interface it's not going to
[TS]
00:19:05
◼
►
be cheap another option that you have is
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
to use the built-in software raid in Mac
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
OS I know I don't think that applies to
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
a PFS yet but but that right John do you
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
know what do you want to know if you can
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
do software raid at all with a PFS yeah
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
I don't remember I remember have the
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
same vague memory as you do that there
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
was a bunch of limitations I think they
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
might have taken it away with AP FS but
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
I'm not sure yeah anyway so if you can
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
do software raid still with whatever
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
your file system needs are another
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
option you have if the performance of
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
this won't be too bad is to just get a
[TS]
00:19:37
◼
►
bunch of really inexpensive USB 3
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
enclosures because you can get a USB 3
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
as sd enclosure for like 15 bucks and I
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
have a few of these from from my own
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
computer bus-powered that's the
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
important part bus back yes and bus
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
powered right and because you know SSDs
[TS]
00:19:51
◼
►
internal power so that way like you
[TS]
00:19:53
◼
►
avoid having not only like additional
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
cable clutter but also if you can
[TS]
00:19:57
◼
►
eliminate some devices own power supply
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
from your set up you eliminate a major
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
source or
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
failure and weirdness because those
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
little like power bricks that come with
[TS]
00:20:06
◼
►
everything are terrible like they just
[TS]
00:20:08
◼
►
aren't very reliable they fail all the
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
not to mention that they're big and
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
bulky and ugly so anything that can be
[TS]
00:20:14
◼
►
bus powered is generally a gain for you
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
here and because you're powering SSDs
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
and not big spinning disks you should be
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
looking away with that so if you can get
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
away with just a handful of cheap USB
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
enclosures if that will work for your
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
performance and throughput needs that
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
will be way cheaper and just a simpler
[TS]
00:20:31
◼
►
setup in general but again it all
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
depends on what you need if you do still
[TS]
00:20:35
◼
►
truly need an external raid zero
[TS]
00:20:37

with the oh do with the o WC I think
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
called it the Thunder Bay mini or
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
something that is it's the one that held
[TS]
00:20:45
◼

specifically for two and a half inch
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
drives it holds four of them
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
it's Thunderbolt from what WC and it has
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
a very loud fan until you put it not to
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
a fan in there Joshua Rodgers writes do
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
any of you use any soundproofing or
[TS]
00:20:58
◼

acoustic material in the room that you
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
podcast in to help with audio recording
[TS]
00:21:02
◼
►
quality I will start I used to before I
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
moved rooms on account of our
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
forthcoming kid I used to use literally
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
a fleece blanket that I push pinned into
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
the wall behind my iMac and that was
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
enough sound deadening to get the job
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
Marco had told me very early on that I
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
was echoing quite a bit and this was
[TS]
00:21:23
◼
►
probably during the neutral time in fact
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
and something in like 2013 or there
[TS]
00:21:28
◼
►
abouts I push pin to this blanket to the
[TS]
00:21:30
◼
►
wall and it stayed up for about four
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
oh he moved rooms now we have some sort
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
of soundproofing something or other that
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
I think Marco you might have recommended
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
that I will put a link in the show notes
[TS]
00:21:40
◼
►
soundtracks Pro maybe I'll have to look
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
through my Amazon order history it has
[TS]
00:21:45
◼
►
the cool like swirly pattern it
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
soundtracks bro no definitely not
[TS]
00:21:48
◼
►
I probably got something considerably
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
cheaper knowing me so I will put links
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
to both of these things into the show
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
notes and basically I have I have a
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
panel of nine of these so so let me back
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
up a half-step so my iMac and my desk is
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
in between two two windows above the
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
iMac as a panel of nine I don't know
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
foot long by foot wide sound-deadening
[TS]
00:22:15
◼
►
things and so there's basically the wall
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
behind my iMac is all sound deadening
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
material there's nothing on the opposite
[TS]
00:22:23
◼
►
wall because it's far enough away not
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
that this room is that big but it's far
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
enough away that I don't think it really
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
matters
[TS]
00:22:28
◼
►
I wanted a link to the thumbtacks that
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
you use they kept the fleece blanket on
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
your wall for four years because I'm
[TS]
00:22:34
◼
►
police blanket that I want to hold on
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
the wall you know I'll use I'll use some
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
terrorists case he would say pushpins
[TS]
00:22:39
◼
►
I'll use thumbtacks to put it on the
[TS]
00:22:41
◼
►
wall I would think within five minutes
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
that thing would fall down did you use a
[TS]
00:22:44
◼
►
hundred of them are these the world's
[TS]
00:22:46
◼
►
best thumbtack no it was it was not a
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
terribly heavy nor thick fleece blanket
[TS]
00:22:52
◼
►
I'm sure I have a picture somewhere of
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
it but I don't know if I could dig it up
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
easily but it was not a very heavy
[TS]
00:22:57
◼
►
blanket by any means it was fairly thin
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
do you think you feel like you made a
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
difference well Marco I mean this in the
[TS]
00:23:03
◼
►
most respectful way possible
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
Marco complained and moaned about my
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
echoes and then I put that up and then
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
he stopped complaining and moaning about
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
my echoes so either he figured out a way
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
around it that's how I show my approval
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
yeah exactly
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
when Marco stops complaining you know
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
he's you know he's happy but anyway
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
Marco tell me again what you have you
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
sound treks soundtrack soundtracks DRA X
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
Pro there you go my Amazon you get like
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
a decent sized pack for like 40 or 50
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
bucks with like if with like I think
[TS]
00:23:33
◼
►
like eight one by four foot sections
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
something like that they also make
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
larger ones if you want to do like a big
[TS]
00:23:38
◼
►
wall you can you can get larger panels
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
that are about two by five four two by
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
four feet that's that I have a few of
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
those behind my computer yeah so this is
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
the kind of thing so it does help to
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
treat the room with soft things to make
[TS]
00:23:52
◼
►
you sound better a lot of times people
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
go a little overboard with it and they
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
just kind of keep going because they
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
think they need it or it just looks cool
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
it makes you look like a really
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
professional podcaster to have sound
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
deadening material you know in your
[TS]
00:24:04
◼
►
entire office but usually you don't need
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
as much of it as people use and also
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
there's lots of alternatives that that
[TS]
00:24:13
◼
►
will work just as well you're hanging a
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
blanket on the wall was totally fine
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
because what you basically need is for
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
the room to be to be filled with as many
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
soft things as possible that can avoid
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
that's what you're trying to avoid here
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
is is you're not trying to insulate like
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
sound insulation to like make the room
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
soundproof so that people outside the
[TS]
00:24:33
◼
►
room can't hear you and that outside
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
sounds can't get in that's not what this
[TS]
00:24:37
◼
►
is that's a different thing and that's
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
and you don't do that for 50 bucks all
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
we're doing here is trying to reduce the
[TS]
00:24:45
◼
►
echoes of sound bouncing around hard
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
surfaces of the room and so some places
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
just don't need this like one of the
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
reasons why like it's like sometimes we
[TS]
00:24:53
◼
►
joked like when podcasters have to
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
record like in our closets for some for
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
some reason it sounds great
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
because closets are small spaces filled
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
with soft clothing so there's like
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
there's no echoes that can be had if you
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
think about the opposite the worst place
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
you could record would be like in a
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
bathroom like with with like a hard
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
floor and tile walls everywhere
[TS]
00:25:12
◼
►
especially like if you ever like moved
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
out of an apartment and you you've like
[TS]
00:25:16
◼
►
you've already packed up like the shower
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
curtain and all your towels from the
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
bathroom so it's just totally empty you
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
notice how incredibly echoey it is with
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
with no soft things in there so we're
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
going for the opposite of that like you
[TS]
00:25:28
◼
►
generally just want soft things in the
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
room that doesn't have to be sound
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
editing material a rug helps
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
tremendously and you know just having
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
blankets around like if you have like a
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
like a you know a giant open hard floor
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
put a blanket or a rug on it while you
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
record but the best that you can do is
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
as casey mention with the blanket the
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
best place to put something soft is on
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
whatever cert whatever wall or whatever
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
else is behind the microphone because if
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
you think about how you talk
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
towards a microphone the first place
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
that you're gonna get those echoes is
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
they're gonna be bouncing off the wall
[TS]
00:26:03
◼
►
behind the mic you know your sounds
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
going to go pass the mic bounce off the
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
wall behind it and then get fed back
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
into the mic as an echo from the back or
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
from the size or whatever else anything
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
you can do to minimize sound echoing
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
from right behind the mic you will see a
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
large result from that it can be sounder
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
material if you're looking for something
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
you know more like a permanent kind of
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
setup that you can hang up and just
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
leave there for years and be done with
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
it yeah go for something go for some
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
kind of acoustic foam and honestly it
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
doesn't really matter what you caustic
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
foam you get there they're not very
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
different all you're looking for is like
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
soft squishy material to absorb the
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
echoes I like the soundtracks pro
[TS]
00:26:37
◼
►
because it looks cool has this nice
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
like swirly kind of hexagon like pattern
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
so that's kind of fun but you know it
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
doesn't really matter you can get pretty
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
much anything and pretty much any price
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
and it'll work about the same a second
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
thing that you should consider if this
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
is a problem for you consider using a
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
different microphone a lot of
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
microphones that are that come highly
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
recommended on like gear guides and
[TS]
00:26:58
◼
►
stuff and how to podcast and even become
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
recommended from podcasters who just
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
don't have a lot of experience with with
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
other microphones a lot of them are
[TS]
00:27:06
◼
►
inexpensive large diaphragm cardioid
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
condenser z' this includes things like
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
the blue yeti and a whole lot of
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
entry-level microphones basically if
[TS]
00:27:15
◼
►
it's a condenser and you spent less than
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
200 bucks for it it's probably one of
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
these the problem with these they do
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
sound very nice and crisp and they pick
[TS]
00:27:23
◼
►
up a lot of detail in your voice but
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
they also pick up like if a pin drops in
[TS]
00:27:28
◼
►
the room like they'll pick up any
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
background noise and as a result they
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
also very very easily pick up echo from
[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
the walls if you just use a mic with a
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
different pickup pattern some people say
[TS]
00:27:39
◼
►
you have to use a dynamic mic this is
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
not actually the case you have to use a
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
super cardioid mic that's what you
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
actually want it can be a condenser or
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
dynamic it should be super cardioid or
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
hyper-cardioid what you're looking at
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
and I did a whole review you can listen
[TS]
00:27:51
◼
►
to audio samples what you're looking at
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
basically is the shure beta 87a that's
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
what you're looking at it is about 250
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
it's an XLR mic not a USB mic I don't
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
know of any USB super cardioid podcast
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
microphones if anyone knows of any
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
please let me know but what this does
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
the super cardioid pickup pattern
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
it basically tightens and narrows the
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
area from which it picks up sound so it
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
will pick up a lot less sound coming
[TS]
00:28:21
◼
►
from different directions and coming
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
from further away from the mic which in
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
turn will kind of inherently reduce the
[TS]
00:28:29
◼
►
amount of echo it picks up it's also
[TS]
00:28:30
◼
►
really nice a little reduce the amount
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
of background noise it picks up like if
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
somebody you know you know breaks a
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
plate in the next room over like you you
[TS]
00:28:36
◼
►
will hear a much quieter version of it
[TS]
00:28:38
◼
►
than you would on a different pickup
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
pattern because it's just the sound
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
drops off further the more you go away
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
from the mic so anything you can do to
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
narrow that pickup pattern that will
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
serve you very well in the mic and
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
you won't need to do as much babying of
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
the room yeah you know it's really weird
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
I was using a rode podcaster for I don't
[TS]
00:29:00
◼
►
know something like the first year that
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
I was doing this with you two fine
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
gentlemen and then I am now using what
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
do I have I don't have the 87 I have the
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
58 a is that right yes remember you
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
should switch to the 87 a by the way
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
yeah I guess I guess it's you sound what
[TS]
00:29:14
◼
►
you sound good enough that I don't
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
bother you about it that's the mark of
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
approval it really is it really is
[TS]

00:29:24
◼
►
now you know my my mouth is within an
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
inch of the pop filter not the pop
[TS]
00:29:29
◼
►
filter but the a foam on the edge of the
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
microphone and if I if I were to turn my
[TS]
00:29:33
◼
►
mouth and maybe do something like the
[TS]
00:29:36
◼
►
other direction it is tremendous the
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
difference that that makes and if I go
[TS]
00:29:40
◼

00:29:45
◼

yeah the beta 58a is a supercar do a
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
dynamic mic it is it is very good it's
[TS]
00:29:56
◼

very good for the price it's it has a
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
little it's a little bit like Bumi and
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
fat in like the mid bass frequency area
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
yeah it is I mean but for that for the
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
price it's it's pretty good but but I do
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
recommend it you know if you can if you
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
have a setup that can take an XLR mic
[TS]
00:30:14
◼
►
and you can spend whatever that it's
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
like a hundred and sixty bucks for that
[TS]
00:30:18
◼
►
save up another 80 bucks and get the 87
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
a instead it's better yeah this is a
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
hundred and sixty you're right and if
[TS]
00:30:25
◼
►
you say the 87 a is 60 more than Soviet
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
John what is your situation with regard
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
to sound deadening material John does
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
not count John has an inexpensive large
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
diaphragm condenser microphone expensive
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
like 350 bucks or something wasn't it no
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
well you probably I think the most it
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
ever cost was 250 but still yeah you
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
have the PG assure PG 42 USB it's it's
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
sounds incredible it sounds very very
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
good but it is an incredibly picky
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
microphone for room dynamics because
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
it's a what I mentioned earlier it's the
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
kind of picks up like a needle dropping
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
like it picks up anything
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
however all the rules of this microphone
[TS]
00:31:07
◼
►
ceased to apply in John Syracuse's
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
office and I don't know why and I've
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
never wanted to tell him to change
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
anything because for some reason that I
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
have that I cannot fathom or figure out
[TS]
00:31:19
◼
►
he sounds perfect all the time
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
he does not have any echo there's never
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
any noise or his on the track any that
[TS]
00:31:25
◼
►
although all the problems that you would
[TS]
00:31:27
◼
►
usually get with this type of condenser
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
and I bought that exact microphone to
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
try in my mega review and it was
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
incredibly picky for me
[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►
but for some reason it's perfect for
[TS]
00:31:38
◼
►
John so I don't like the rules didn't
[TS]
00:31:41
◼
►
apply in John's office well some rules
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
do I mean material for getting to this
[TS]
00:31:48
◼
►
question the main reason I don't have
[TS]
00:31:50
◼
►
sound deadening material is back when we
[TS]
00:31:52
◼
►
were all buying sound foam and stuff of
[TS]
00:31:55
◼
►
course mark I bought this worldly one
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
that he was just telling you about and I
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
went I'm like oh I should get that same
[TS]
00:31:58
◼
►
sorority stuff Marco got and I went to
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
the web page where they sell it and it
[TS]
00:32:01
◼
►
was $60 and my interpretation was it's
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
$60 for one rectangle and then I looked
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
at how much how many rectangles Marco
[TS]
00:32:10
◼
►
has on his balls Mike well Marco you
[TS]
00:32:12
◼
►
know all right fine but no way in hell
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
I'm in I'm spending 60 $60 times you
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
know 12 to put foam on my wall and I'm
[TS]
00:32:22
◼
►
like this is really cool sign I did some
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
researching for cheaper foam but it's
[TS]
00:32:25
◼
►
just like ya know I'm just not gonna do
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
it so anyway now that I know that it is
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
not $60 for one square it's $60 for what
[TS]
00:32:32
◼
►
how many is it I think six or twelve
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
it's it's enough like the $60 pack of
[TS]
00:32:37
◼
►
the one by two sheets whatever that is
[TS]
00:32:40
◼
►
that's enough for pretty much anybody to
[TS]
00:32:42
◼
►
make their setup sound great yeah so
[TS]
00:32:44
◼
►
that sounds more reasonable although
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
really annoys me that the pattern
[TS]
00:32:47
◼
►
doesn't line up if you buy all the
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
squares that really annoys accent yeah
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
and you and I have some of the big ones
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
as I mentioned it doesn't line up on
[TS]
00:32:53
◼
►
them either but at least with the big
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
ones you have fewer seams yeah so anyway
[TS]
00:32:57
◼
►
but I don't I still don't have the phone
[TS]
00:32:58
◼
►
and also I won't ask Marco how he
[TS]
00:33:00
◼
►
attached it to his wallet he's like I
[TS]
00:33:01
◼
►
permanently stuck it on there and if I
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
ever want to remove it I have to repaint
[TS]
00:33:03
◼
►
the wall I was like yeah yeah like
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
there's like there's like adhesive
[TS]
00:33:07
◼
►
squares that they recommend that you use
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
with it and I got those so each one of
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
them is stuck on with something like six
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
like a little like two by one inch
[TS]
00:33:16
◼
►
adhesive square things like double side
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
kind of things and yeah I'm pretty sure
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
and they haven't fallen off at all which
[TS]
00:33:22
◼
►
is great but I'm pretty sure that's
[TS]
00:33:23
◼
►
that's a pretty permanent installation
[TS]
00:33:25
◼
►
for the wall you should use the KC's
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
thumbtacks well it's funny you bring
[TS]
00:33:30
◼
►
that up we tried to use command strips
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
on the foam that we have and they have
[TS]
00:33:35
◼
►
all fallen over time but I think if
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
memory serves I did get the adhesive
[TS]
00:33:41
◼
►
squares that Marko recommended and then
[TS]
00:33:44
◼
►
we put those on the back of the foam and
[TS]
00:33:47
◼
►
then command stripped those does that
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
make sense
[TS]
00:33:50
◼
►
so it's foam adhesive squares command
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
strips and that actually seems to be
[TS]
00:33:55
◼
►
holding pretty well so far that's a good
[TS]
00:33:58
◼
►
you can put it right over the thumbtack
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
holes if you have them but but anyway as
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
for as for my room early on in this
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
series at someone I forget who was
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
marking do you remember which one of the
[TS]
00:34:08
◼
►
helpful audio people I'm about to talk
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
about I believe it was Marcus - Paula
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
yes there you go that's probably it sent
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
us a bunch of advice about what we're
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
doing and what he had to say about my
[TS]
00:34:16
◼
►
mic was that he heard a lot of echo and
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
he surmised that I had my monitor really
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
close to my microphone and he was right
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
and so the only thing I've done to make
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
this room better for audio and
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
podcasting as I moved my monitor farther
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
away from my microphone or my mic from
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
farther away from my monitor I still
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
think the echo is there it's just the
[TS]
00:34:35
◼
►
delay is slightly different the thing I
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
think that's good about this room is
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
like to my right is a giant bookshelf
[TS]
00:34:43
◼
►
and bookshelves are surprisingly good
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
baffles for sound because of all the
[TS]
00:34:47
◼
►
little knobbly books you know and little
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
gaps between them and behind them and
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
even even my bookshelves where every
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
spine is meticulously lined up it helps
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
if the spines are uneven I bet it works
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
even better
[TS]
00:34:59
◼
►
this room is carpeted which also helps
[TS]
00:35:01
◼
►
and the windows do have blinds of them
[TS]
00:35:04
◼
►
which are also kind of wobbly but yeah
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
it's nothing and and the game's really
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
long my Mike and I have like tons of I
[TS]
00:35:11
◼
►
have a double pop filter and a foam
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►
shield on it so I don't know I'm
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
dreading changing my setup but I think I
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
will eventually when I get my new
[TS]
00:35:19
◼
►
computer and no don't a mumble mumble
[TS]
00:35:21
◼
►
I'm gonna have to because I'm the newbie
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
Marco's recommended Mike and Marcos
[TS]
00:35:28
◼
►
recommended
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
hot box with knobs and and for my
[TS]
00:35:33
◼
►
brand-new computer and then I'll just
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
that's my that's what I call those like
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
you can spend $750 for a hot box with
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
knobs yeah it's actually up to like nine
[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►
hundred now that the one I like is that
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
the USB pre to from sound devices like
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
so this this is the box that converts
[TS]
00:35:48
◼
►
USB to microphones
[TS]
00:35:49
◼
►
I've tried a lot of these things there's
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
lots of them that are totally fine for
[TS]
00:35:52
◼
►
like a hundred fifty bucks but I wanted
[TS]
00:35:55
◼
►
something that was better than totally
[TS]
00:35:57
◼
►
fine I want some that was great and
[TS]
00:35:58
◼
►
sound devices USB pre 2 is great it's
[TS]

►

that's hello fresh calm and code ATP 34
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
$30 off your first week of hellofresh
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
thank you so much - hello fresh for
[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
sponsoring our show so for the last few
[TS]
00:38:42
◼
►
weeks we have had a reasonably
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
significant amount of people tell us in
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
various states of anger that we need to
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
take Apple to task about the how iPhones
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
are throttling CPU performance when the
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
batteries get old and how this is horse
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
crap and we really need to beat Apple up
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
because apparently they think that
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
people who matter listen to the show and
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
guess what they don't but anyway they do
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
point is people were really upset about
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
this and this has been going on for
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
probably about a month now or near bouts
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
and I never found this to be a
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
particularly interesting thing to talk
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
about a particularly particularly
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
interesting topic because I mean hey
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
guess what as your phones get old
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
they're gonna get slow that that I mean
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
like I understand that that probably
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
shouldn't happen that a CPU is the CPU
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
is the CPU but I mean hey as stuff gets
[TS]
00:39:37
◼
►
older it gets worse as I get older I get
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
worse and so it stands to reason as
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
other things get older maybe they will
[TS]
00:39:43
◼
►
get worse too but there's been a whole
[TS]
00:39:45
◼
►
bunch of activity about this not today
[TS]
00:39:48
◼
►
but seven days ago exactly wherein we
[TS]
00:39:52
◼
►
actually got some information from
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
I'm gonna try to do my chief summarizer
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
in chief and you guys jump in and or you
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
know correct me after the fact and what
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
it sounds like is and I experienced this
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
with my sex or maybe there's my success
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
as my 6 or success got older
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
occasionally it would go from something
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
like 20 or 30 percent charge as reported
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
by the iPhone to get it just turned
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
itself off and this was deeply
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
infuriating because here it is I'm
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
trying to perform some sort of task and
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
my battery says that it's at something
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
like a third charge I don't use battery
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
percentage or I didn't use battery
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
percentage percentage before the iPhones
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
10 because I'm not a monster and so
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
anyway III just a lot of friends of this
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
segment oh I know I know
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
but regardless well I already made
[TS]
00:40:41
◼
►
friends with my Farenheit discussions so
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
you know what why not sorry I'm not
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
sorry but anyway the point is that you
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
know I look at the little the little
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
icon and it says it's about 1/3 full I
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
go to perform some sort of operation
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
suddenly the phone turns off so then I
[TS]
00:40:56
◼
►
turn it back on
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
suddenly it's back at a third battery
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
and that seems really really weird well
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
what it sounds like
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
was happening was that when the CPU or
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
other components were really really
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
asked to do a lot it would cause enough
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
draw on the battery that the battery
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
would end up kind of just not failing
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
but but just going kaput and so the
[TS]
00:41:17
◼
►
phone would turn off and that would be
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
and so what Apple's decided to do is as
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
the battery gets older and as they
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
realize that the battery can't really
[TS]
00:41:23
◼
►
handle this anymore they will start
[TS]
00:41:26
◼
►
throttling CPU and so they'll they'll
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
not let the CPU operate at a hundred
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
percent speed in order to prevent these
[TS]
00:41:33
◼
►
sorts of things from happening
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
which to my eyes is a perfectly
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
reasonable engineering solution to a
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
problem and this problem is that
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
batteries as they get older they get
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
crumb here that's the way batteries work
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
it may not be the way CPUs work but it
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
is the way batteries work and so to my
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
eyes like that's perfectly fine I don't
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
see why everyone has gotten up in arms
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
about this but oh man a lot of people
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
are really angry about this and I think
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
part of that is probably because as you
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
upgrade to the latest versions of iOS
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
as you as you have operating systems
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
that are more and more taxing on the CPU
[TS]
00:42:13
◼
►
it ends up causing a system-wide
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
slowdown so not having experienced that
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
because I've gone on the complete you
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
know douchebag I get a new iPhone every
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
year train but III had I was not always
[TS]
00:42:30
◼
►
on this train and I do remember times
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
when at my older phones got a little bit
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
slow over time and I think the moral the
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
story is these these devices or
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
certainly the latest versions of iOS
[TS]
00:42:43
◼
►
aren't really designed to use you know
[TS]
00:42:47
◼
►
two plus year old phones maybe three or
[TS]
00:42:48
◼
►
four year old phones like and maybe the
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
thing that we should all be up in arms
[TS]
00:42:52
◼
►
about is why is iOS 11 being supported
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
all the way back to the iPhone 4 or
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
whatever that's probably not accurate
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
but just for the sake of conversation
[TS]
00:42:59
◼
►
and that's to me
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
the thing that maybe is a little bit
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
more controversial but the fact that the
[TS]
00:43:07
◼
►
CPU is being slowed down like hey this
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
is making it so your phone doesn't
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
spontaneously die but okay fine if you
[TS]
00:43:13
◼
►
prefer that
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
go ahead maybe that's what we should do
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
and I think I think it was either
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
Panzer marine or a Gruber that said I
[TS]
00:43:20
◼
►
think this Panzer II know that said hey
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
the issue here is really communication
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
and that Apple never told anyone why
[TS]
00:43:25
◼
►
this was happening and if they just
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
disclosed hey we've realized that these
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
spikes in battery draw have caused the
[TS]
00:43:33
◼
►
batteries to temporarily fail and fail
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
probably in the right word but you know
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►
give up
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
that's why we've throttled your CPUs is
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
to prevent that problem and if they said
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
that up front then I think this wouldn't
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
be an issue but they didn't and so here
[TS]
00:43:47
◼
►
we are so that is not a very succinct
[TS]
00:43:50
◼
►
summary but that is the summary
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
nevertheless and I apologize but Marco
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
tell me about this what do you think so
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
this is it seems like this is a very
[TS]
00:44:01
◼
►
well-intentioned solution to a very real
[TS]
00:44:04
◼
►
problem I agree
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
but because of the context that that is
[TS]
00:44:09
◼
►
complicated and hard to get rid of which
[TS]
00:44:11
◼
►
I'll get to in a second so because of
[TS]
00:44:12
◼
►
the context and because of the execution
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
details of this I think it's a really
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
big problem for them
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
the context is probably the most
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
important part here that we've known you
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
know anybody who is an Apple fan or
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
Apple defender in any way ever an Apple
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
frequently needs defense because people
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
out there have a lot of horrible
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
misconception about Apple and they have
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
forever right and I think this is part
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
of why Apple fans are so defensive so
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
much at the time because there's so much
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
bad information out there about Apple
[TS]
00:44:42
◼
►
and and they people are always having to
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
like fight it or correct it and so one
[TS]
00:44:47
◼
►
of the things that a large portion of
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
the population who buys iPhones
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
believes is that Apple intentionally
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
makes their phones slower with every new
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
software update to make them buy new
[TS]
00:45:02
◼
►
phones and there is some truth in this
[TS]
00:45:05
◼
►
it not in the intentionality of it but
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
there is some truth that new OSS do
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
usually run slower on old hardware than
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
the ones that they shipped with I don't
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
think Apple's doing any of that
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
intentionally III think is grown a
[TS]
00:45:18
◼
►
junker burro today like I think you know
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
Apple employees would just quit before
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
they would do something as like crazy
[TS]
00:45:23
◼
►
and fraudulent and evil is that but the
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
fact is the new OS is do usually run
[TS]
00:45:28
◼
►
worse on the old hardware than what
[TS]
00:45:30
◼
►
shipped with them and that's just
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
because they're you know new OS is
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
there's new and new animations and
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
higher memory usage and you know more
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
stuff happening in the background
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
because it seems like these are designed
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
to run really well on the current
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
generation and making them run on
[TS]
00:45:46
◼
►
previous generations is it doesn't seem
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
like it's a very high priority to make
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
that smooth or awesome and maybe and
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
honestly I don't know maybe it is maybe
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
there's talking people working on that
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
but the results that people see usually
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
is that when they update their like
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
two-year old phone to the newest OS that
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
comes out every fall it's slower and it
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
gets worse battery life now there's lots
[TS]
00:46:10
◼
►
of complicating factors to this that
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
make this you know partially true
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
partially not true partially the you
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
know inevitable
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
you know the behavior of lithium-ion
[TS]
00:46:20
◼
►
batteries over time the progress of
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
software over time but the fact is there
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
is this very widespread belief that this
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
is planned obsolescence that Apple is
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
forcing people's phones to be slower
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
over time so that people go out and buy
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
new phones so that is the context in
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
which this story now comes out now Apple
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
has been doing this for almost a year
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
they and even if pens are gonna link to
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
an article he wrote last February like
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
almost a year ago saying like apples
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
said this about this new update and
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
here's what it does because there was a
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
big problem back then about iPhone 6 and
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
successes I believe as you mentioned
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
doing like the whole like you know
[TS]
00:47:00
◼
►
unexpected shutdown thing now when they
[TS]
00:47:02
◼
►
were getting a little bit old what has
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
come out over the last few days as you
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
mentioned there was there was a reddit
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
post that kicked it all off will link to
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
in the show notes where some about if
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
somebody basically said that he rang
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
Geekbench which is a popular benchmark
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
before getting his battery replaced and
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
then he goes bad it replaced by Apple
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
and ran Geekbench again and that his cpu
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
performance before the battery
[TS]
00:47:24
◼
►
replacement was like half of what it was
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
after so he made this reddit post saying
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
like hey it looks like Apple is
[TS]
00:47:31
◼
►
throttling CPU performance when your
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
battery is old and it took a while
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
before like everyone was getting all of
[TS]
00:47:37
◼
►
an arms for a few days and then about
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
nine days ago it was a John Poole the
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
guy's name and keep bench I believe it's
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
John Poole the developer of geek bench
[TS]
00:47:48
◼
►
went through all the data and found like
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
trends and peaks of like all the iPhones
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
sixes and sixes and sevens that are
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
running geek bench before and after the
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
software update that that added this
[TS]
00:48:00
◼
►
this behavior and they're different you
[TS]
00:48:04

know performances like in the aggregate
[TS]
00:48:06
◼
►
and they were very very clear peaks like
[TS]
00:48:09
◼
►
before the update there was a clear peak
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►
where it's supposed to be and then after
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
the update there was still that main
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
peak where it's supposed to be but then
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
there were like three other peaks at
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
lower levels at about even intervals
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
like it's like it's like it's
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
subtracting like 20 percent 20 percent
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
20 percent there were clear peaks there
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
that like okay there's clearly a lot of
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
phones that are benchmarking in these
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
levels here and that came out about nine
[TS]
00:48:35
◼
►
days ago and then it exactly seven days
[TS]
00:48:37
◼
►
ago Apple issued a press statement
[TS]
00:48:39
◼
►
basically saying look here's what we do
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
this is this is to combat lithium-ion
[TS]
00:48:43
◼
►
battery problems over time when they get
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
older and they
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
can't maintain like the highest peak
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
output when the CPU is drawing the most
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
energy and so we throttle down those
[TS]
00:48:53
◼
►
Peaks only when necessary to you know
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
keep the phone running basically it's
[TS]
00:48:58
◼
►
providing from shining down so they
[TS]
00:49:00
◼
►
basically just did and then confirm that
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
they did something that slows down your
[TS]
00:49:07
◼
►
phone when it gets older and I know they
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
had like I'm sure they had the best of
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
intentions it's clear from their
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
statement you know I believe them I
[TS]
00:49:15
◼
►
believe this is why they did it I don't
[TS]
00:49:17
◼
►
think they're trying to push new phones
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
even harder I think they font the iPhone
[TS]
00:49:20
◼
►
and sell themselves like I don't think
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
they don't they need to to break your
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
old phone to sell it to sell new one
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
sort of regular basis but I do think
[TS]
00:49:27
◼
►
this was done very poorly even if this
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
is the right thing to do the right way
[TS]
00:49:34
◼
►
to do it is to tell the user and I said
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
on Twitter earlier like this should be a
[TS]
00:49:41
◼
►
setting I need to tell the user I have
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
since come around I don't think it needs
[TS]
00:49:44
◼
►
necessarily be a setting because as
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
somebody pointed out like if you turn
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
the setting off your phone just randomly
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
dies I'll Daly that's not great so maybe
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
it doesn't need to be a setting but it
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
absolutely needs to be communicated to
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
the user these phones are people's
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
primary computers you can't slow down
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
people's primary computers by like
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
seeming like 20 to 50 percent for a
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
reason that you don't tell them about
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
and they have no way to know unless they
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
run a benchmark like all they know is my
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
phone is really slow and maybe it's just
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
cause it's old I guess maybe I have to
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
get a new one and a new phone is you
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
know a lot of money and a battery
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
replacement is not so for a lot of
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
people they could just get battery play
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
if they knew that their phone would be
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
way less slow if they just got a battery
[TS]
00:50:32
◼
►
replacement for 20 to 70 dollars a lot
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
of people would choose that option and
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
save their money and maybe maybe that
[TS]
00:50:39
◼
►
will help them out you know like so and
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
and to not tell them to slow it down for
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
reasons that are not apparent to the
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
user and are never told to the user no
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
matter what Apple says the reason is the
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
users don't know that or don't believe
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
them so this narrative that we have been
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
battling for years
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
that Apple is intentionally slowing down
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
phones with each OS update to make you
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
buy a new one and we've been saying no
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
no no they wouldn't do that they don't
[TS]
00:51:08
◼
►
do that they actually just did that not
[TS]
00:51:11
◼
►
to make you buy a new one
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
but they but like they they are and they
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
are now slowing down old phones with a
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
new software update and yay even though
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
their justifications are good that is
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
not how it looks to the people who it's
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
happening to and now like this is not a
[TS]
00:51:30
◼
►
small thing we've talked before about
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
how like certainly tech myths get get
[TS]
00:51:36
◼
►
embedded in people we talked about
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
things like how oh you should quit all
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
your apps to save your battery those
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
things get embedded and are very very
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
hard to ever remove like windows people
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
are we still are defragging their hard
[TS]
00:51:48
◼
►
drives later like it's like this is the
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
kind of like this this doesn't change
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
like you still have people whenever it
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
went like when they're Macs are having
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
weird problems you still have like
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
everyone in the world telling them to
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
like reset their peer am and stuff and
[TS]
00:52:03
◼
►
like all these weird little like voodoo
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
things that usually don't do anything
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
what Apple has done with with this is
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
they have confirmed the fears of a very
[TS]
00:52:14
◼
►
very persistent and pervasive and
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
damaging theory or myth that was going
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
on about what Apple does with iPhones
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
and iOS updates I think this is going to
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
hurt their reputation in this area for a
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
decade it might even be longer this is
[TS]
00:52:30
◼
►
the kind of thing that people do not
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
forget quickly this is the kind of thing
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
that while we might know the truth or
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
how things are you know perceived or
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
what things probably mean or what Apple
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
probably intends we may know that but
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
where this is going to linger forever is
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
like your crazy uncle at the
[TS]
00:52:50
◼
►
Thanksgiving table and stuff like that
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
like people who like kind of casual
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
users who think they know what they're
[TS]
00:52:56
◼
►
doing and who spread that knowledge
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
around their friends and family this is
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
going to persist with them for a decade
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
and this is going to just be apples
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
gonna have to fight this for a decade
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
and what they really really
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
should have done instead we should have
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
liked anything they would have done here
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
to solve this problem is hard like
[TS]
00:53:21
◼
►
there's downsides to any solution to the
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
problem with like oh if your battery
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
can't actually run the phone it's full
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
speed and you get random shutdowns well
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
yeah that's bad they should do something
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
to fix that if they can and they did
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
even with the fix even if they did it
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
perfectly with great communication
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
people would say i am i reaiiy am upset
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
that Apple is slowing down my phone
[TS]
00:53:40
◼
►
until I replaced the battery but at
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
least they would know it wouldn't seem
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
like deception it wouldn't seem it there
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
were there's like this huge ulterior
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
motive that they want you to buy a new
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
phone they want to trick you into buying
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
a new phone the only way to make this
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
right is to clearly communicate to the
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
user when this throttling happens to put
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
up a notification or something it can't
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
just be buried in the Barrett batteries
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
unit settings like waiting for you to go
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
check it you have to notify the user
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
with a dialog or a notification that
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
says something like your battery
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
condition you know needs to be serviced
[TS]
00:54:16
◼
►
or is is too worn out or something like
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
as a result your phone will not perform
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
at its fullest something like that like
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
tell people exactly what is happening
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
when it happens the first time that it
[TS]
00:54:28
◼
►
has to be throttled by this mechanism
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
put up notification put up a dialog that
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
says your battery is too weak to do this
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
your phone is will now be slower because
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
of this and you know click here to for
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
more information or whatever you have to
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
tell people this problem would have been
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
so much smaller and more manageable and
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
so much better received if they would
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
just tell people when they did when this
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
happened so I agree with you that that
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
the messaging is the crux of the issue
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
but do you really think like Joe
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
consumer is going to be aware of this
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
whole kerfuffle like has this reached
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
regular media because it seems to me
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
like this is just this is just nerds
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
getting angry about nerdy things is it
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
not or maybe I'm missing the boat oh no
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
no I mean first of all like my tweet
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
about this has like hundreds of retweets
[TS]
00:55:18
◼
►
already as of seven days ago it's like
[TS]
00:55:21
◼
►
it this this is spreading far and wide
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
it doesn't regular people don't have to
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
know about this they're crazy uncle's at
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
the saving table are the ones I have to
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
know about this and they're all the ones
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
on reddit who are picking all this up
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
believe me
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
it spreads it spreads to all of them
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
it's all this it's all those people who
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
advise everyone in their life that they
[TS]
00:55:41
◼
►
have to quit all their apps it's the
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
same thing like it's that it's spreading
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
through that support channel like the
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
casual crazy power user support channel
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
of people who are partially but not
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
adequately informed and who spread that
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
to all the people they know it this will
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
be there for a decade you two aren't
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
really helping much on this and neither
[TS]
00:56:03
◼
►
are they million headlines that have
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
been about this because heist you know
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
setting aside all the perception issues
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
which are totally true and like you know
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
there's at this point there's not much
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
Apple can do about it and they should
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
have communicated better and so on and
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
so forth everything in mark was already
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
covered for the people who who know or
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
are casually listening to this podcast
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
or it sound in the background whatever
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
the essential thing that both of you did
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
that I that I think is not the right
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
thing to do is to promote the the sort
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
of summary narrative like not the
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
nuanced details exactly what's going on
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
thing but the summary narrative that as
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
I would describe it there was a
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
perception that Apple is doing a thing
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
to make their phone slower to make you
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
buy new phones people in the note said
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
they're not doing that but now we have
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
new information that shows that actually
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
they kind of work and that's where I
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
draw the line because the perception was
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
Apple is doing something doing whatever
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
to make you buy a new phone that's the
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
important part of the story because it
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
makes Apple the bad guy not that Apple
[TS]
00:57:06
◼
►
is doing something makes you fronts
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
tougher because we all know that Apple
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
is doing something like a phone store
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
it's called releasing new iOS is like
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
that's what they're doing but that's
[TS]
00:57:13
◼
►
what we would tell them it's like
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
they're not doing it on purpose they
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
just made a new S and new OS is very
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
often make your phone store for all the
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
reasons Marco listed and we can go into
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
all the details and they don't even care
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
right but they said no no it's not like
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►

irresponsible of people who run tech

the perception is there like but the

truth of the situation is that Apple is

not and was not doing something to make

you buy a new phone and that's the only

nuanced point I want to make to the

that it's gonna help you could talk

about it as carefully as you want people

pessimistic and cynical about the

communication thing but I do want to
[TS]
00:58:36

make that point here that I think no

part of this confirms the false
[TS]
00:58:40
◼

narrative right it makes people think it
[TS]
00:58:43
◼

does but just terrible for Apple and
[TS]
00:58:45
◼

Marco's right this is gonna be really
[TS]
00:58:46
◼

really bad for them but it doesn't
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
actually confirm it and on that issue
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
but if they had to communicated it
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
better that would be better but in the
[TS]
00:58:55
◼

same way that I'm pessimistic that even
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
if you understand all the nuances it
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
doesn't matter like perception is
[TS]
00:58:59
◼

reality to lots of people it by the same
[TS]
00:59:03
◼

token if Apple had communicated this
[TS]
00:59:05
◼

guarantee some percentage perhaps a
[TS]
00:59:08
◼

smaller presenter for some percentage
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
would say that message is fake Apple
[TS]
00:59:11
◼

just puts that up why do they put that
[TS]
00:59:12
◼
►
up to make you buy a new phone they're
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
lying to you with this dialog box says
[TS]
00:59:16
◼

your phone's gonna slow to make you buy
[TS]
00:59:18
◼

it oh what a coincidence - iPhone comes

phone it's telling me I need to buy a
[TS]
00:59:22
◼

new phone right now it doesn't mean they
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
shouldn't do it it's still the right
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
thing to do it's still way better than
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
what they did but this is this is the
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
job of you know and arguably this is why
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
they made this this decision not to say
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
anything about it because they're trying
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
to they're trying to find the way to
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
minimize the bad perceptions and I think
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
probably communicating would be the way
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
to minimize it because the really
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
hurtful part of this is like the you
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
know the error of omission the deception
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
by omission of like Apple never said
[TS]
00:59:51
◼
►
anything about the
[TS]
00:59:52
◼
►
before right and that that is a
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
deceptive thing to do and so that's on
[TS]
00:59:56
◼
►
Apple and they deserve some of the

reputation hit they they were taking
