00:00:00
it is a Dodge Charger cool there's a bunch of different Dodge Chargers this is the electric version of the Dodge
00:00:05
Charger and there aren't any good convincing reasons to buy it oh in my
00:00:17
opinion what is up people of the internet welcome back to another regularly scheduled episode of the
00:00:23
waveform podcast we're your hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew and I'm David so I say regularly scheduled because last
00:00:28
episode was a bonus episode our first ever live version of the show from South
00:00:35
by Southwest on stage with a bunch of you guys in the audience a good amount of you actually showed up thank you for
00:00:41
for those who were actually there it was a good time how many people like 3,000 4,000 250,000 qu million I was going to
00:00:48
say yeah quar million people you know like the the the eras tour like pict picture that but bigger at 10: a.m. on a
00:00:56
Saturday it was it was good no it was probably yeah some people which is cool
00:01:01
um we got to have like a sort of a live trivia version of uh asking ourselves
00:01:06
questions about the audience and we had answers from the audience so that was fun we also talked about dig trying to
00:01:13
make a comeback we talked about Apple Intelligence being delayed and some other stuff as well so if you want to
00:01:18
watch that it's in the audio feed the video is on the YouTube channel we've got like our mics that we're like holding and a lot of people said you
00:01:24
sounded way different cuz you were using a different mic you know I there's something about this m mic that like I
00:01:31
like the way my voice sounds in this microphone and even let me switch to
00:01:36
your mic real quick oh God see how different I sound no it doesn't sound right at all right wait yeah oh we sound
00:01:44
more similar in the same mic than we do exactly yeah so I I stick to this mic
00:01:50
but yeah I agree I sound different there's also like Reverb because it's an enormous empty not empty but in
00:01:57
room but no it was a good time go check that went out but believe it or not we do have some more stuff to talk about
00:02:02
cuz some more news has happened since then also very quick update to the Apple intelligence story that I just wanted to bring up real quick uh Apple has pulled
00:02:10
one of their commercials that features the Apple intelligence like deep Siri integration thing because people were
00:02:17
basically saying that it was uh misinformation at this point yeah and then they also added a bunch of
00:02:22
disclaimers around their website like on the iPhone 16 pages about what it can do and when it's coming it says now it says
00:02:29
series personal context understanding onscreen awareness and inapp actions are in development and will be available with a future software update so the
00:02:36
thing that was built from the ground up for Siri AI that was coming in a future
00:02:41
update will now be in a more future verter update yeah that's where we're at Apple intelligence God that's a lot of
00:02:47
fine print if you go to the bottom of the iPhone website look how much fine print there is oh it's always like that oh yeah the polishing cloth has fine
00:02:53
print like that my gosh okay so yeah all of that is happening there were also I guess we'll get to it later but there
00:02:59
some rumors about an iOS overhaul so we'll talk about that that's here uh but
00:03:05
yeah okay we've got some stop some topics here do we want to jump right into OnePlus evolving the alert slider
00:03:11
into a button we can I think you jumped into it already so I have been a fan of the
00:03:18
alert slider forever remember the OnePlus One came out and the alert slider was a Innovative new feature it's
00:03:24
been on OnePlus phones mostly on all of their phones minus like a tiny Gap since
00:03:29
then and it's a great feature and I think a lot of people like it and there's some talk that they are killing the alert
00:03:35
slider and turning it into a button yes possibly just a customizable button that
00:03:42
can do what the alert slider did but could also be customized to do other things where have I heard that kind of
00:03:47
seems like a similar to maybe like an action button uh on a certain iPhone yes
00:03:54
I this is one of those decisions that when you look at the numbers makes perfect sense but when you look at the
00:04:00
fans doesn't seem to make any sense cuz the fans are like no I love the alert slider and I love the alert slider but
00:04:05
well it's it at least it's not them just taking it away right the default on the action button on the iPhone is the alert
00:04:11
slider function basically and you can still do it in your pocket you know without looking at your phone but I
00:04:17
liked it the the like you can tell where it is though right cuz like there and there's three clicks correct in the
00:04:23
oneus yeah so you would have to I'm assuming if it was the same function you would be like click click click but this
00:04:29
you can be like I'm all the way down I'm all the way up you can feel it in your pocket but but the action button is
00:04:35
awesome okay I don't disagree with you I feel like it's a good tradeoff I know someone who would disagree and I find it
00:04:41
funny this is happening so one of our friends Bo just texted me last week like
00:04:46
hey you didn't do a review on the OnePlus 13r like can you let me know how it is and I said oh what about this and
00:04:52
this like I have an extra pixel if you just want that he's like I really like the alert slider and that's like a non-negotiable for me so then this
00:04:59
coming out within the week of saying that so C1 plus that's a real person the alert slider is pretty op yeah it was
00:05:07
funny that they got rid of the alert slider a couple Generations ago people freaked out that was like a proper
00:05:13
Scandal I remember that and then they brought it back and made a big deal about bringing it back and now they're like how about a compromise yeah so I
00:05:21
think the action button is great and Pete La went on the OnePlus forums and said we are evolving the alert slider
00:05:27
into something he did a lot of fancy dancing words saying imagine it evolved
00:05:33
around you you know yeah I'm sure Apple evolved the headphone jack years ago
00:05:38
also by just not cutting the hole so yeah I think it's I'm on team action
00:05:45
button some other people may disagree with me I'm with you on that I could be swayed I'm swayed yeah I was swayed
00:05:50
instantly I folded under I could be SED okay I'm SED yeah the funny thing is that uh in Pete LA's post on the OnePlus
00:05:58
forums the way he was talking about about the button made it sound exactly like one uh like nothing talked about
00:06:05
the space button that they added the private space or whatever they called it what do they call it again essential
00:06:11
space essal essential space button yeah he talked about it like in the exact same way so I thought it was going to
00:06:16
have the exact same functionality but then the way he described it afterwards it just sounds like an action button
00:06:22
which is cool I mean I love having customizable buttons and switches on devices so it's an AI slider
00:06:30
yeah yeah cool next up we have Chrome a new Chrome update specifically one that
00:06:37
is fixing affiliate swapping in extensions on Chrome so I'm sure we all
00:06:43
remember honey I think we covered it on this pod and you made a video about it but Chrome is making an update to their
00:06:49
browser of uh extensions policy policy thank you yeah and uh so this is what
00:06:54
they wrote they said affiliate links codes or cookies must only be included when the extension provides a direct and transparent user benefit related to the
00:07:00
extension's core functionality it is not permitted to inject affiliate links without related user action without
00:07:06
providing a tangible benefit to users I almost could read there for a second so then it's just like some common
00:07:11
violations include inserting affiliate links um when no discount cash back or donation is provided but this is
00:07:17
definitely a direct shot to honey yeah this is their entire business model mhm and PayPal paid a lot of money for them
00:07:24
I'm sure that they made that back off of stealing people's affiliate links but
00:07:30
yeah I don't really know what honey is going to do from here on out because saving people money and not making that
00:07:36
money back is not going to be a good business business model for them right they'll probably just we need the other
00:07:43
browsers to do this so Chrome is one of the most popular but there's still Safari where someone could do this
00:07:48
there's still I mean I doubt many Firefox users are using honey or so low anyways but yeah Safari Internet
00:07:54
Explorer are still like defaults wait is it Edge Edge Edge sorry showing they're
00:07:59
still like the default so if they're still doing it I'm sure honey will still be making plenty of money that's true so
00:08:05
hopefully they do yeah all right we reviewed a certain car recently um were you here for that I was
00:08:13
here for the delivery right I saw it I saw it temporarily okay I heard it in
00:08:20
person I've heard it because I've heard miles okay great doing it so yeah I just
00:08:25
wanted to bring up the car and get you guys takes on it cuz I had a pretty straightforward take I drove it for a
00:08:31
week it is a Dodge Charger cool there's a bunch of different Dodge Chargers this is the electric version of the Dodge
00:08:38
Charger and there aren't any good convincing
00:08:44
reasons to buy it oh in my opinion okay zero yeah driving it like I could tell
00:08:51
what it's supposed to be it's supposed to be fun it's supposed to be fun it's a charger all the rest of the Chargers are supposed to be fun too interesting but
00:08:57
as you go on the list you're like all right what is the the real like King thing that it acceler that it's amazing at is it uh performance is it
00:09:06
that okay maybe you could argue that it's uh the quickest charger ever it's 0
00:09:11
to 60 in 3.3 seconds it's 600 plus horsepower all-wheel drive so it's the fastest like launching
00:09:18
charger but you know the quarter mile is like 11 and a half seconds like if you really just care about that in an EV
00:09:25
there are plenty of EVS that are faster like I brought up a couple examples in the video model performance walks it uh
00:09:31
ev6 GT it's faster if you really care about that for the same price which is $80,000 for the version I tested you
00:09:37
could get a used plaid so damn so the reason you wouldn't the reason you'd buy it can't just be straight line speed
00:09:43
okay so what other reasons are there uh it's a charger it's a charger the people who want to buy the charger want the
00:09:49
charger I feel like it's such a specific product yeah yeah I just realized how
00:09:54
good the name is for an eeve for an eeve yeah missed opportunity there they could have done something fun with that oh shoot they could have called it the
00:10:01
supercharger that also is though the fast charger a car thing yeah hypercharger it won't be a track car
00:10:09
because it weighs 6,000 lb and it's not good at that so there's that uh it won't be a
00:10:18
road Tripper because it only has 240 Mi of range and only charges at 183
00:10:24
KW it won't be a charger because it doesn't have an engine and it does have
00:10:31
that loud speaker on the back and don't get me wrong it is loud it's very loud it is L it's louder than M it's a very
00:10:37
loud speaker system 126 DB it makes all sorts of noises it rumbles the actual car as they sitting in it and you can
00:10:43
feel it when you rev and yes you can rev interesting but it doesn't sound as good
00:10:48
as a gas version number one and it also gets annoying because it's uh it just
00:10:55
kind of has this droning because it doesn't like shift gears so you know how I feel like you know CVT you'll like get
00:11:01
up to speed and just kind of stays at the same like if you drove a regular gas car and you just like shifted to second
00:11:06
gear and never got out of second gear that's what it sounds like to drive this car around so it's kind of
00:11:13
just and so it's loud yes if that's what you're into but unlike maybe the ionic 5
00:11:20
which could let you like play with the gears or whatever you can't do that with this car so it's just it's not a good charger it's not a good road Tripper
00:11:26
it's not a good track car it's not a good straight line car what is it can I
00:11:32
have a ask a question yeah the sound does it like
00:11:37
uh go with like the speed you're going does that or is it just the same like
00:11:43
okay high power revving notes about the sound interestingly it seems to be
00:11:49
coordinated directly to how many G's you're experiencing so it's quiet when you're not accelerating but when you're
00:11:55
breaking or accelerating it gets louder H and like a little more high pitched so
00:12:01
as you drive maybe pulling up to a stoplight you'd hear it
00:12:06
go and then as you pull off from the stop light and then you get up to speed and
00:12:12
it's just like constantly that you can't turn
00:12:17
that off so you can turn it off oh okay okay I turned it off okay cuz I just got annoyed by it it's louder in track mode
00:12:23
than like regular mode so you can like dial it up or down but I just wanted to turn it off and then the other note about the sound is I feel like I could
00:12:30
actually hear the MP3 looping well because it's just a constant drone the entire time a
00:12:35
constant drone and if you are at the same pitch for a while you could hear and I could hear that and I was
00:12:41
like as soon as I heard that I was like I have to turn this off yeah and I I noticed that and as soon as I noticed it
00:12:46
I was like let me find how to turn this off because it's really annoying um that's unacceptable in 2025 yeah I'm I'm
00:12:53
also very curious for who the Target demographic for this car is well the argument is I there is it doesn't it
00:13:01
misses all of the targets okay yeah because because if you're dodg and you're trying to make a charger you're trying to sell an e to them then the
00:13:07
Target demographic is someone who wants a charger but wants an electric car right away that vend diagram has almost
00:13:14
no overlap and you got this huge speaker system on the back so it's it's a muscle car it's loud you're trying to sell a
00:13:20
car to people who want a loud muscle car yeah but want an electric car like who
00:13:26
is that and they have 80 grand to spend on it I just yeah I didn't really see who that is so here's where I landed
00:13:33
okay daily commuter comfortable Cruiser it can do that it's very comfortable
00:13:38
it's soft it rides well it has a ton of space it's a hatchback so it has a big trunk it also has a front trunk but it's
00:13:44
tiny whatever doesn't matter but like lots of leg room lots of head room lots of visibility it's this huge two door
00:13:51
which is kind of hilarious but whatever like there's tons of space and you ride along in soft mode turn the sound off
00:13:57
and it's just it's chill how how much is this car this car starts at about 5050 Grand and goes up to like I think the
00:14:04
one I tested is $86,000 so $886,000 yeah for a comfy commuter car nice
00:14:10
comfortable cre there are a lot of people who buy those like base Chargers base Challengers or whatever like that
00:14:17
are pretty cheap and don't have all the big like benefits of like a muscle car
00:14:22
they just look like a muscle car that you can drive to the grocery store with and this one looks like a muscle car yeah it looks good I think it looks
00:14:28
really you can fit so many groceries in this car does it have a frunk a tiny frunk I can fit a backpack in the frunk
00:14:35
it's weird because it's an enormous car and the front trunk is like so where what are they doing with all the space
00:14:40
so they use the same chassis and and same design for the gas and electric charger oh so it's not a groundup EV
00:14:48
where they would have all this extra space like there's still a tunnel going between the driver and passenger seat
00:14:53
there's nothing in there oh in the gas version there is but in the electric version it just has a tunnel there huh
00:14:59
so yeah there's just a lot of missing space interesting yeah okay I have two
00:15:04
really quick thoughts one is uh I think supposed to be fun would have been a
00:15:10
great title for your autus alterate title okay that that would have been really this looks like it's doing well
00:15:15
um yeah my second thought is we all ragged on the Mustang Maki when it first came out cuz we're like why would you
00:15:21
call this mustang you all ragged on it you all raged on it we ragged on the
00:15:27
fact that it was a Mustang right like they launched it as a Mustang EV but it was really like this for crossover and
00:15:34
even though I still think it didn't make much sense seeing this now of like here's the actual muscle car that's an
00:15:40
EV and realizing that none of the muscle car people really want an EV yeah maybe
00:15:45
that was the better decision I still think it's weird they went with a Mustang but okay the Maki is great and
00:15:51
it's still doing good hear me out and maybe maybe muscle car is different from
00:15:56
like a different kind of nice car imagine they made you know that what was the Porsche the guy that takes the old
00:16:02
Porsche bodies and retrofits them into Sac motor car yeah uh I and many other
00:16:10
people would 100% buy that car mhm I think that's different that's probably not considered muscle car right no yeah
00:16:16
yeah it's different I yeah I I agree you the muscle car demographic probably does not have overlap with the EV demographic
00:16:23
but the like old school classic car demographic definitely does right okay
00:16:29
question for you what if they had nailed the sound of this car through the speaker instead of hearing the loop and
00:16:35
all that and like we heard a charger the other day and you were like see that's what a charger is supposed to sound like like what if they had nailed that part
00:16:42
of it do you you on the sigma camera and also on the on the MacBook you you didn't know that there was no actual
00:16:49
button and then it's just it's so convincing that until someone tells you you have no idea what if it was it felt
00:16:55
and sounded identical sure let me give you that let's say there's a theoretical world where the sound is so incredible
00:17:02
that it actually matches the gas car it would still not be good at any of the
00:17:08
other things that it was supposed to be good at which is it can't it's not as
00:17:13
quick in a straight line as all the other competitive EVS that are good at that it's not a lot of range and here's
00:17:20
the funny thing about uh those Motors so it's a 335 horsepower rear motor and a 335 horsepower front motor if I can get
00:17:27
into Le for a second that's a a little bit unusual typically you have a more powerful rear motor because when you
00:17:32
accelerate all of the weight goes backwards and onto the rear axle so you want a more powerful rear axle that's
00:17:38
your limiting factor the very powerful front motor almost never gets saturated
00:17:44
so in this car it's evenly split between the two and you have a 6,000lb car and
00:17:50
sticky tires and it actually is so heavy and so weak at the rear axle that it
00:17:56
cannot do a standing burnout it's not capable of it for those who know Chargers that's the whole thing like you
00:18:03
want to be able to just do a burn that's the the rear wheeel drive cars they light up the tires they spin or whatever this car is so heavy and so weak at the
00:18:09
rear axle that it can't do that oh wow so it doesn't do the charger thing even though it makes a cool noise it doesn't
00:18:16
do the road trip thing it doesn't do the straight line thing it doesn't do the track thing so it would still not be a
00:18:21
good car but it would sound great and that would be a cool accomplishment and
00:18:26
you know I think to some people car sounds cool but yeah it's a it doesn't
00:18:33
make a whole lot of sense dang in my opinion can I can I go on a quick rant that I've already gone on like 10 times
00:18:38
that uh I this car proves it 30% vote what
00:18:45
oh yes 30% of people at South by Southwest at our panel at South by Southwest voted that I had the worst
00:18:50
takes on waveform so here's another one baby no um uh this also goes back to the ionic 5
00:18:59
and it's like you can you can make a car that tries to sound like a gas engine
00:19:04
and like has the rumble and like all these things but I just feel like it'd be it so much better to make something
00:19:11
that is firmly itself and like lives in its own lane and makes a sound that is
00:19:18
its own and the 5n got like close but I feel like those sounds were like kind of corny especially the the like uh the
00:19:25
backfire sound was like so bad and like I think when they are trying to emulate
00:19:32
an existing thing you're you're going to fail yeah and there's like CU and there's good examples of companies doing this like the OG Tesla backup sound I
00:19:40
thought was like a really brilliantly designed sound sort of like yeah the sort of like soft hum I thought that was really great the um the BMW that 7
00:19:48
Series hybrid that Han Zimmer did all the sounds for I thought that sounds really great and then there's a like
00:19:54
when we were doing the cybertruck video you know I uh both cyber trck videos I had mics all over the motors and that
00:20:02
thing like deep inside the car and the sounds we got out of it were like not
00:20:07
that interesting right and so we we spruced them up in the video and we made the car sound really cool and no one was
00:20:14
like Wow Ellis like you totally lied to me they were like that sounds really cool and fun and I think the the best
00:20:20
example of this and have you I know I've brought this a million times there's a Ford concept car from like 5 years ago
00:20:28
called the e400 it's like The Supercharged version and sounds like a banshee it sounds like
00:20:34
the coolest car ever and I know it didn't sound like that in person but it's like that's what we should be
00:20:39
striving for in my opinion it's something that like if you want to make a car sound like it rips just make it
00:20:45
sound like it rips like I plus one that I think we're in this weird era still where if you're trying to sell electric
00:20:51
cars to people it's almost everyone's first electric car and so they need to build things in that are familiar to gas
00:20:57
car users yeah and there are a lot of vestigial features that are just just for that person and I we got to get a
00:21:05
couple Generations in where someone who's never driven a gas car drives their first car and it's electric and
00:21:10
they don't care that it doesn't have a sound so I I will say the Porsche taan
00:21:16
Turbo GT I've watched all the reviews of that car way less sound deing in that car rimac Nea another one you just hear
00:21:23
the the motors and it's just a electrical motor sound and that's all you need yeah it doesn't have to make a
00:21:29
fake sound and that is the sound of an electric car and that's fine think about how breathtaking a Driving Experience
00:21:35
would be and also yes auto companies if you want to hire me I will make your sounds just get on get on the line but
00:21:40
think about how breathtaking it would be for someone who is has experienced with performance gasoline cars right they're
00:21:46
on a a mile drag strip like a long drag strip they get the car up to full speed
00:21:52
and instead of the car making some loud noise to be like you're going fast the car goes dead silent like picture how
00:21:58
that feel as a driver like you hear the motors spinning up and getting louder and louder and then you hit 160 170 and
00:22:03
all of a sudden like that would be such a unique Sonic experience that would be unique to
00:22:09
that car and I think would really wow people who are gas familiar I I don't know just call me pay
00:22:16
me I'll take a cool meal for this and everyone will be talking about it and and we'll call it out I think that was a
00:22:21
great take Alis I watch a lot of I watch a lot of car reviews from Automotive
00:22:27
journalists who drive a lot of gas cars and the number one word that they use
00:22:32
when driving an electric sports car that they say it's missing is emotion and I find that really
00:22:38
interesting but like but putting the sound of a gas car in an electric car is just like putting that Meme with the
00:22:44
mask on top of the crying face yeah it's like it's not emotion you're stealing it from something else already give it its
00:22:50
own characteristics I think gas cars they started up with this technology of an internal combustion engine and it was
00:22:57
great and they happened to make noise and so the sports cars would lean in and embrace that noise because it was just a
00:23:03
part of the mechanical emotional feeling of like going through driving a car I
00:23:09
think electric cars in the future eventually should just lean into the thing that makes them better than gas
00:23:14
cars which is they have more torque they they are quieter like they can do faster
00:23:20
acceleration they they have all these things that are inherently Superior to they warm up quicker they they have all
00:23:27
these things that are better and they should lean into that and I get that there's a couple of things like creep or
00:23:32
regen or little noises and things that make Gas users more comfortable uh or
00:23:38
lack of regen I guess I should say but yeah for now almost every new electric car is somebody's first electric car
00:23:45
wait and you're so right those are things that could be Orly communicated
00:23:51
to a driver why do cars not have a regen sound why can you not hear the traction
00:23:56
control adjusting the power of the m
00:24:03
arec and are make the steering wheel vibrate that's what people want like
00:24:09
when you're doing one pedal driving and you let go of the the accelerator and it starts spinning on the regen it should
00:24:16
be like something interesting there's a lot of stuff you could do and that's the emotion that these look I'm not like a
00:24:23
gas car guy I'm not going to call them a mean name but that's the emotion that these people are talking about you know what I mean they're talking about
00:24:28
feedback they're getting from the machine there are things in electric car that you should be getting feedback
00:24:33
about not on an iPad that you can get with your ears anyway I'm very upset about this I've been upset about it
00:24:40
years no you should lean in you should lean into the things that that technology is doing there's this video that got passed around last week called
00:24:46
uh why young people like old things yeah and it's this very young kids and he makes some very good points about uh
00:24:53
basically it all comes down to your senses and the fact that like when you're just tapping an iPad there's just
00:25:00
there's no sort of sensory input into anything that you're doing and that object has replaced all of these things
00:25:06
that used multiple different parts of your senses to sort of like give you that experience and so when you're
00:25:12
driving an electric car that is taking away a lot of those senses because it
00:25:17
doesn't do the rumble it doesn't do like all these like old gas things they should just lean into the things that the car is actually doing to like bring
00:25:24
those senses back here's a really specific example we did the driving the model 3 on a track remember a couple
00:25:30
years ago yeah when you're driving an electric car on a track you can hear
00:25:35
when each tire is like starting to break traction where in a gas car you can feel
00:25:41
it but you only hear the engine but in electric car as you're going around like a cone course on a track you hear
00:25:47
exactly when you start to slide versus just kind of trying to feel and the car knows that which tires have traction how
00:25:54
much traction to they could build that into the sound engine hire me please I can help you software
00:26:02
software yeah my dad this is the last thing will leave sound but you know sound guy don't get the opportunity that much to talk about stuff like this my
00:26:08
dad also a sound guy when the first uh wave of electric cars were being sold him and a bunch of his sound guide
00:26:14
friends were getting lunch together and someone asked the table like now that we can make a car sound like literally
00:26:20
anything what should we use as the engine sound and the sound that the
00:26:25
group came up with as like what all cars could sound like
00:26:31
is I'm so sorry for everyone who to hear that cuz picture an entire freeway of
00:26:37
like no I refuse to picture of locus uh that could work well okay let's take a
00:26:43
quick break we'll come back we got some more software to talk about we got uh many more things that have popped up in
00:26:49
the news so we will be right back which means we should do
00:26:55
trivia he didn't even do the way Adam is the one that did the I should have waited longer yeah the hesitate becomes
00:27:02
the hesitat okay I wanted to ask this question for a little bit but we've had better questions and now uh now I think
00:27:09
it's this question's time to shine so guys time to pull out the bad question no this is a good exactly what he just
00:27:15
said that is not what I was trying to say it's it's good question or like fantastic question and I okay whatever
00:27:22
whatever digging yourself into a whole all right all right guys dig and anyway continue dude if my mic was on when you
00:27:30
said that digging and burying are the opposite you don't bury for buried treasure okay I kind of I kind of
00:27:36
realized that a little bit later but I didn't want to bring it back up no yeah you shouldn't anyway guys multiple
00:27:43
choice question okay what is the name of xiaomi's AI
00:27:50
assistant xiaomi's AI assist and I have four choices for you the first one that
00:27:55
was optional a as they call it a Xiao AI oh B uh oh by the way sorry
00:28:04
all of these I'm giving the English translation of like the Chinese word jaia AI so Jia AI B
00:28:12
squiggly C god king June June being Chinese name that means like handsome
00:28:18
god king handsome or it's my nickname in high school and this is not a joke su7
00:28:25
and the assistant is an anthropomorphic version of the xiaomi E the su7 Allah
00:28:30
cars like with eyes and a tongue and stuff that would be amazing I'm so worried it's that
00:28:36
one it's definitely god king handsome god king handsome I want to remember the
00:28:42
Chinese word but I'm I'm probably not going to
00:28:47
so we'll think about this one see I told you it was a good question it's it's a good question a good question we'll have
00:28:53
the answers at the end like usual we'll be right back [Music]

visit ken.com waveform to get started that's K
00:30:13
nst.com waveform all right welcome back we got
00:30:18
to talk about this uh alleged upcoming iOS 19
00:30:24
update headline word on the street is it's going to be a major uh visual overhaul and if you read into this story
00:30:31
so this is a Bloomberg article um it seems like there's going
00:30:36
to be the biggest overhaul since iOS 7 is what they're saying and it's going to be much inspired by Vision OS so a lot
00:30:44
of that like when you open up Vision Os or if you watch the video of vision OS very glassy a lot of
00:30:50
transparency I'm on the fense about it I'm trying to picture iOS looking like that and I get that you want it to be
00:30:56
consistent and everything but it's also technically schorm can I take it a step further is
00:31:02
this is not just iOS this is iPad OS Mac OS and iOS yeah they said Mark Gman said
00:31:08
it's the uh the biggest change to Mac since Big Sir which is in 2020 and then like you said iOS since iOS 7 it would
00:31:16
make sense if you are Apple and you're doubling down on Vision OS really is our future and really is something we
00:31:22
believe in so everything is going to look like that I get that part I'm just
00:31:27
trying to picture I'm not a designer clearly I'm trying to picture what that actually
00:31:32
looks like I don't know if you guys have thoughts on how looks currently it's interesting because they just went
00:31:38
through a bunch of like we're adding dark mode now and so you have to like make a dark mode icon and so clearly
00:31:45
they don't want to do a bunch more work to actually change the look of the icons again so it's more going to be the UI
00:31:52
elements M so the idea of the existing icons like sitting on top of that glassy UI element is kind of interesting but in
00:31:59
the Vision Pro they have that working already I guess MH so I could see it I
00:32:04
mean I think people adapt to things faster than people generally think they adapt to things uh so they adapt to it
00:32:11
quickly but they love to complain about adap into it immediately they complain for like a month and then they get over
00:32:17
and I'm one of them I totally understand where they're coming yes yes do you guys like the way Vision OS looks visually
00:32:24
yeah like it's got some floating elements outside the window so there's these glass windows with a sort of like
00:32:31
a frosted glass type of look so that the whatever's behind them is like frosted out and then there are hovering elements
00:32:38
outside of it like the x or the bar to drag and move around the window every icon is a circle also I believe on the
00:32:44
home screen um things layer on top of each other a lot so the the glass kind
00:32:49
of stacks it's it's definitely an appropriate look for UI in a physical
00:32:55
space because there's often going to be like surf surfes and textures and things like that behind the glass that you
00:33:01
still want to be aware of so it makes sense to have that in a physical space but the iPhone or the Mac never to me
00:33:07
felt like it had to do that so I get consistency but I just don't I don't I
00:33:12
know if I I don't know if I can picture it yeah I guess usually these companies want to get you used to the primary
00:33:18
interaction mode that like the object that you use the most and then everything sort of percolates from that
00:33:24
M and it's it's definitely looking very far into the future to say Vision OS and vision like interaction
00:33:31
with a computer is what you need to get used to right now because Vision Os or Vision Pro Sales are not doing very well
00:33:38
yeah and I think it's going to be quite a while before we transition to using these kind of headsets more often yeah
00:33:45
Mark Gman said that the the push is like part of them trying to simplify how
00:33:50
users use their devices um so I guess like if you think about it Vision OS probably is the simplest way to use
00:33:56
something because you have less intuitive controls they needed to make it as simple as possible I agree with
00:34:02
you though moving everything to be into their less least popular least like in
00:34:08
the hands of people product feels weird but I guess they had to spend so much
00:34:13
time creating the UI and I think it's a little further than just you know the icons there are a lot of like circular
00:34:19
glassy very rounded edges on a lot of different things inside of like the menu systems and playing songs and settings
00:34:27
and so maybe it's just slightly going a little towards that they also might
00:34:33
think that if they can get users used to the UI right now on a thing that they use all the time when they eventually
00:34:40
buy some sort of vision OS type device whatever that ends up being it'll be
00:34:46
more naturally intuitive to them because the UI look the same you know checks out kind of like how the Apple watch like
00:34:52
uses very similar icons to like the iPhone and the menus are similar and it's some like design and style but it's
00:34:59
still like intuitive because you know how to use the iPhone yeah I I think it's also kind of interesting though is
00:35:05
they it the claim to this and obviously this is a rumor but German's pretty uh
00:35:11
spot-on a lot of the time uh trying to make everything so similar when just at
00:35:17
one of the questions you answered at the the southp show was somebody asking if touch screens would go on Macs and like
00:35:23
how there's a very distinct difference between how the iPad and the Mac work so we're trying to make things more similar
00:35:29
but Apple also needs to make things not too similar so they don't cannibalize each other's products right where do we
00:35:36
draw the line what are we just talking UI here like it's it's funny doing that
00:35:42
how are they not going to cannibalize other things yeah so so Vision OS is still going to have to be their only I'm
00:35:49
doing air quotes for audio listeners spatial operating system like three like things are going to be in front of and
00:35:55
behind and you move them around in in forward and backward in space that's Vision OS is the only place that that
00:36:01
will still happen so I guess that distinguishes Vision Os from the other things and then the other things are
00:36:07
still going to be glossy and transparent and glassy and things like that technically again schorm I think I'm
00:36:12
using that word correctly but uh they won't have the X Y and z- axis all at the same time yeah all I'm saying is
00:36:19
like I miss the days of Android releases where every single one looked completely different and we just got like weird
00:36:26
wacky wild stuff yeah it was it was fun and gingerbread or yeah Kit Kat or ginger gingerbread was the best it was
00:36:33
just amazing I was I'm looking forward to this because I feel like apple has not had something kind of like how
00:36:40
material design is on Google where it's like layers of things and the whole point of that when they were building
00:36:46
that out was to like mimic physical things that you're touching so I could see how you said Marquez that this is
00:36:51
supposed to be like for vision OS with like it makes a lot of sense to have glassy things but we touch glass all the
00:36:58
time so I don't think that would be that weird on our phones I think touch glass
00:37:04
touch glass here okay we just we just finished
00:37:09
talking about how electric cars have way less tactile feel and people are used to
00:37:16
having and Miss real tactile like typing on an iPad versus typing on a mechanical
00:37:21
keyboard that type of difference I don't know to ski morphism on a glass screen where things are
00:37:28
starting to represent real textures and materials again does that feel backwards or the texture is glass like when it's
00:37:35
mimicking like a frosted glass and then you're touching things on your screen that is also glass yeah okay that's fair
00:37:42
are we picturing like the finder window being like that like a bit more seethrough with all of you cuz I kind of
00:37:47
like is Opa right now imagine that like the the stuff around the UI is is now
00:37:54
all suddenly glass I think the reason I would like that is because a lot of
00:37:59
Apple monitors are like the pro display xdr is just a big monitor so I don't use
00:38:04
double I just use a lot of different window sizes kind of all over the place so having finder windows that are more
00:38:10
transparent and being able to kind of see what's directly under it without while still being able to recognize you
00:38:16
know the icons that are inside the finder window yeah I think that sounds kind of nice there there is forgive me
00:38:21
if someone already said this there is a lot of transparency already in Mac OS yeah like when you open a new tab and
00:38:27
Safari for example that's like a opaque use Safari oh yeah yeah find her
00:38:35
and the notification the control center like that pop down yeah kind of looks
00:38:40
like an iOS and we were talking about this when it got updated we're like oh wow they're adding a bunch of very iosd elements to Mac OS yeah and I guess we
00:38:48
just got used to them need to they need to make the YouTube app look like the old little TV again that's all I'm
00:38:54
saying and the leather the leather yeah the leather Instagram icon yeah leather
00:39:01
we need more leather I agree yeah it's if it's pure Aesthetics I feel like you can just just do whatever you want yeah
00:39:08
and this is the one they've chosen and there are some apps that we've like really abstracted like the old photo app used to be a sunflower like a picture of
00:39:16
a sunflower and now it's that like pin wheel that is supposed to sort of be a flower but it's just been abstracted
00:39:22
into this like generic pin wheel that also slack uses and also Google photos and also a million other apps use so
00:39:30
yeah I don't know I'm I'm all for things looking like they look in real life I'm super down I just want to say if you
00:39:36
want a preview of this there's a thing called hyperland on Arch Linux by the way and it is I use Arch by the way I
00:39:42
use Arch by the way and it is very like everything is transparent and see I mean you could customize it to not be that
00:39:47
but everything that I see on like r/ Unix porn which is a amazing thing yeah I know crazy can you say that what yeah
00:39:54
on the podcast yeah runix porn that's the uh maybe say one time maybe I should say one more time so yeah in that
00:40:02
Community a lot of people customize their setups to look very transpar transparent and glassy so that's a good
00:40:09
little uh preview if you want to see what Mac OS could look like interesting interesting I'm just excited for an
00:40:14
overhaul because we just did the world's most boring MacBook Air review ever cuz just like things aren't changing at all
00:40:20
and I will be excited to see something different they whispered blue into the box before closing that I did not realize that you had that in the script
00:40:26
and I was watching the video video and I like LOL wow the most exciting part that was
00:40:31
that someone bled on the box that they sent true did you put it in the video yeah yeah yeah it was weird yeah like
00:40:37
the top 10 comments or I guess I'll just mention yeah the bleeding edge comments are funny I reviewed the MacBook Air the M4
00:40:45
MacBook Air long story short they put an M4 chip in it and it's cheaper is there a long
00:40:51
story yeah no that I mean the long story is they put an M4 chip in it it has more AI cores it does certain things than the
00:40:57
M3 version it had blood on the box it has wait I didn't get there yet it has a slightly different mute icon with a
00:41:03
little cross oh true true which I think they'll probably update all the MacBook slly to have that new mute icon it has a
00:41:09
slightly new light blue color it's sky blue it looks a little more blue when it's up against white surfaces a little
00:41:15
looks a lot less blue when it's up against actually blue surfaces yeah what else they have a new 12 megapixel Ultra
00:41:20
wide Center Stage webcam o cool um that's a long story
00:41:27
somebody bled on the box yeah uh don't know who don't know when don't know how if I buy one will it also come with
00:41:33
blood on the box I hope not special edition it's kind of weird product product red end the AI product red is
00:41:42
crazy product red is crazy uh yeah we don't know what the
00:41:47
story is that's funny did Apple say anything to you about that um I mean I told them about it and they offered to
00:41:53
send me a new one and I was just like yeah I I have the laptop it's fine fine I don't need another one I just want to let you know someone's dying packaging
00:42:00
your products um yeah so that that's kind of it that's fun yeah go watch the
00:42:06
video if you want the long story yeah yeah it's not much longer than that
00:42:12
yeah did you see hold hold on to your seats everyone there was a pixel 10
00:42:20
leak never could have guessed where're it gets earlier every it gets ear the
00:42:25
pixel 9A is not every out yet um this is a small leak but I think a cool one we
00:42:31
could patch it pretty easily yeah we could hopefully if any of us know how to patch leaks but I don't think we Google
00:42:38
certainly doesn't know how to not they've been waiting for the plumber to come for like 15 years a while um so on
00:42:45
leaks did a his first CAD rendering of what he knows and because it's Cad and
00:42:51
only hardware and that's all we know the most interesting thing it looks like we're getting a third camera on the
00:42:57
pixel 10 base model let's go and it looks like a periscope let's go it's
00:43:02
very interesting yeah because we've talked about pixel 9A rumors and how that's uh supposed to be like a pretty
00:43:09
basic looking boring phone flat camera bump that type of thing and I don't know
00:43:14
if you remember pixel 8A but my whole question around pixel 8A was wait why
00:43:19
would you get this if you can already get a pixel 8 on discount and it's a better phone and it's almost the same price so I feel like I'm I'm watching
00:43:26
Google separate the 9A and the 10 a little bit more so that they make sense
00:43:32
at different prices which is ironic because last year they released a ton of different pixel9 SKS cuz there was the
00:43:39
pixel 9 pixel9 pro pixel9 pro xl9 pro fold oh yes I forgot about that
00:43:47
yeah so how do we know by the way that the small one is not just a pixel9 pro
00:43:54
that's that is that what makes the pro is the extra camera slightly better screen or
00:44:01
something pretty much so is there not so maybe this I mean I don't I didn't see the rumor but is it not pixel 10 maybe
00:44:08
it's just pixel X pro the headline seems to believe it's the regular pixel 10 that's getting a
00:44:13
third camera which would be interesting but we also had the pro that was the same size as the regular phone last year
00:44:19
with the nine yeah so yeah TBD I mean the rumor is that the Bas is
00:44:27
getting it so maybe the fact that it looks like a pro is just because it's a base with an extra camera yeah but I am
00:44:34
curious what's going to differentiate the regular one from the pro at that point besides like slightly better
00:44:40
screen yeah they should all have the thing that I'm most excited for in pixel 10 which is tensor G5 that's true that's
00:44:48
all I care about with the pixel 5 we talk about tensor G5 for like three years and it's finally coming the tsmc
00:44:54
yeah I this is I can't wait yeah I really hope it is what we're hoping it is which is an actually good performing
00:45:01
tensor chip because when we first heard Google was going to do a tensor thing we like oh wow yeah maybe they'll you know
00:45:07
have great performance and great Ai and it'll be you know on par with what Qualcomm
00:45:12
offers at a basic level it's not like their chips are not as powerful as a flagship Qualcomm chip but they work
00:45:18
they're fine they're not going to do amazing with gaming or anything like that but they work with Google's AI stuff but man I just want it to be a
00:45:25
smooth phone that's fast that does everything at the same level of qualcom Chip and maybe a silicon carbon battery as well that would be nice more capacity
00:45:32
I don't know if Google's up to that though yeah they're famously not like the most advanced with Hardware yeah
00:45:37
they may do just a thicker phone with more battery in general which is cool with me that'd be sweet um but yeah
00:45:43
tensor G5 please please please okay wait I'm thoroughly confused about this yeah
00:45:49
yeah there's two I'm reading two different articles about how this would be the pixel 10 my but forgot that
00:45:56
there was the pixel 9 Pro which just looks exactly like this size yeah it's possible that the pixel X and pixel 10
00:46:03
Pro are incredibly close to each other that's true they've done they've done crazier things before I I just I'm
00:46:09
reading two different articles I just reread them and none of them are you're even hinting that this could just be the
00:46:14
pixel X pro yeah this render it seems like a pixel 9 with an extra Periscope
00:46:21
camera so a pixel 9 Pro yeah yes cuz it basically said it's it's the same thing
00:46:27
but with an extra camera a lot of people get confused because the pixel 9 Pro and
00:46:33
10 Pro are like really really similar but the 10 pro has to come from the 10
00:46:38
Pro 10 professional region of France oh my God I saw where that was going oh my
00:46:43
God maybe on leaks just very specifically said he thought this was the pixel T who knows friends this is
00:46:50
either a cool story or the dumbest story possible it's possible you're welcome or I'm sorry that yeah this this would be
00:46:57
very interesting if they have a pixel X and a pixel 10 Pro that both have the tensor G5 that both have triple cameras
00:47:02
that are both the same size what is the difference between those phon has one has a brighter screen one's more
00:47:08
expensive four cameras yeah what are they going to do I don't know just aluminum instead of or stainless steel I
00:47:13
don't know what's the difference alert slider now you got me triggered 100 bucks more transparency in the OS I just
00:47:20
told you know I'm even looking at comments on the verge about this and they're talking about the pixel 11a so I
00:47:26
have no where anything is happening of 11 we don't have the 9A yet wow we don't
00:47:33
even have the 9A yet okay well there we go whatever it ends up being it'll
00:47:38
probably be a pixel we'll see the ENT we'll see a full unboxing next week probably so we know Russia yeah yeah
00:47:45
hold on long enough we'll see all the phones come out before they actually come out very fun in that case we we'll
00:47:50
take a quick break again we got some more stuff after the break but here's some more trivia
00:47:56
[Music] yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah trivia dude uh second question so earlier we spoke
00:48:03
about EVS specifically the Dodge Charger EV sure is that its actual name Dodge
00:48:08
Charger EV Dodge Charger Daytona Daytona Daytona e SRT stage 2
00:48:14
scatpack really oh my God scat they didn't put the word Scat Pack on it but it is St what does Daytona mean oh it's
00:48:20
a place in Florida it's Jesus how long would it take to explain the Jesus Christ it's a magic
00:48:28
it's a city in Florida where the first major yearly NASCAR race was held on the
00:48:35
beach Daytona 500 and for a long time it was the largest fastest race course in
00:48:41
America until a place called Talladega was built what made the course fast it was it's just a giant oval so you could
00:48:48
just Smash It big gradual turn straight away big big straight away there was
00:48:54
another Dodge Daytona that I believe came out in 1969 but I don't have the exact year late' 60s that was had a body
00:49:01
kit made by Chrysler's missile division like they're defense contractors and
00:49:07
it's one of the craziest looking cars ever and so they called this one the Dodge Daytona but it does it just has a
00:49:12
front spoiler there's nothing crazy about it but if you look up Dodge 1960s Dodge Daytona you will see a car that
00:49:19
looks like it was designed by a person who had only ever designed missiles it's really funny that's kind of awesome anyway that's that's the scoop I love
00:49:26
the history Liston thank you all right I love NASCAR second question I'm going to
00:49:32
have to get back to you because Ellis just took my trivia question so oh after the break no that wasn't the answer to
