00:00:00
if you go to the Apple iPad website the iPad Pro says new iPad Air says new
00:00:07
regular iPad new price yeah really what does the mini say
00:00:14
[Music] old what is up people of the internet
00:00:20
welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast we are your hosts I'm I don't know how to do that before Marquez
00:00:26
that's we are your hosts my name is Andrew I'm David and unfortunately Marquez is out this week he's a little
00:00:32
under the weather but do you know what would make him feel a little better if you hit the Subscribe button exactly
00:00:38
that's he told us that to say that and he said his sickness depends on how many people subscribe yeah you know how when
00:00:44
people get married and they say in sickness and in health the actual full thing is in in sickness and in health
00:00:49
and in subscription you know what I usually zone out at that part of the ceremony but I'm glad that's why you didn't know
00:00:55
about it exactly yeah didn't you officiate a ceremony
00:01:01
anyway we will push on without him though and in today's episode we have new iPads a new pixel new Nintendo
00:01:07
switch it's just all gadgets gadgets Gadget gadgets yeah um but before Ellis
00:01:13
has a little recommendation I as many of you know watch way too much YouTube and
00:01:20
a certain really great creator has come across my uh my my recommendation lately
00:01:26
and I'm not talking about David ml who just released a killer video on his
00:01:32
personal Channel um but I am talking about a cool Creator from Atlanta named cam James
00:01:38
with about 60,000 subs and the videos are way higher quality than 60,000 Subs
00:01:46
um if the the the elevator pitch is like uh it's like coffeezilla but way slower
00:01:53
paced like like a coffeezilla investigation that you could like sip some tea to and have a chill afternoon
00:02:00
with crypto stuff or he does some crypto stuff it's it's a lot of like it's definitely like Financial scams and
00:02:07
swindlers for sure um but it's not quite as uh like I feel
00:02:14
like I love coffeezilla don't get me wrong but I feel like coffeezilla videos really you know knock your blood
00:02:20
pressure up a few like it's like you know he's like in that crazy room with the robot you're like oh my God what's
00:02:25
going to happen but uh this is much more like much more chill really great photography really great music editing
00:02:31
uh really great explanations it seems like he just hired a researcher too what's what's cool is that like um he
00:02:38
was I only know this from stalking him he's like a really new addition to my watch thing but um yeah it seemed like
00:02:44
he was a musician like most of his videos on his Channel pivoted about four
00:02:49
months ago he put out a video called I'm a YouTuber now question mark and um and the videos have just been pumping like
00:02:55
when I found his channel he had 20,000 subs and in the past four months he's gotten it up to 60 and so like it's very
00:03:01
clear the ascent is palpable it's pretty wild the I'm a YouTuber Now video has
00:03:06
9.3000 views and then the next one has 643 he's he's a master I mean I
00:03:13
obviously haven't seen his analytics but he's a master of pace like right right out the gate and so I would not be
00:03:18
surprised if his watch time is like through the roof really high up because it's just and it's not like gimmicky
00:03:24
Pace it's not like every 5 minutes he's like and what happened next will blow your mind
00:03:30
it's just very this sounds like one of those channels where I'm going to listen to on my commute and be done with this channel by the end of the week it's it
00:03:37
is exactly that channel you have it right so go check out cam James and uh
00:03:42
go check out David's Sparkle video do you want to talk about it real quick sure um yeah as a lot of you might know
00:03:50
I went to Japan for a couple of weeks and was not on the podcast part of that reason I was there was to interview the
00:03:55
guy who invented the Sparkles Emoji because I'm sick and tired of the AI companies using my favorite emoji uh as
00:04:03
a signifier of uh artificial intelligence so I took about four months and made a video called um how AI stole
00:04:10
the Sparkles emoji and uh so far it's tracking pretty well it's doing very well it just hit 150k views in 5 days so
00:04:17
I'm pretty happy with that um took me a very long time and a lot of money to make so go pump it up even more now yeah
00:04:22
there were a lot of people that were like can you release a release a video every month and I was like I I this took me four months so no
00:04:30
that um yeah so thank you for the shout out appreciate it all right we're going
00:04:35
to get into it but also right now comment how many times you think we are going to say the word iPad in this
00:04:42
episode and what it is um it's going to be a lot spoiler but let's get into switch to announcement cool David you
00:04:48
looked into this a lot more than I did I all I saw was like I feel like we've been hearing about a new Switch at least
00:04:55
for years like there was the OLED switch right which was like kind of the updated one and then there was the switch light
00:05:01
which was the non disconnecting one but there's always been this talk of like a new bigger higher resolution switch all
00:05:07
I really saw so far of it that people were really excited about was there was an announcement that we will get an
00:05:12
announcement for switch 2 yeah before the end of the fiscal year which is April 2025 yeah what do we know about it
00:05:20
so yeah this is kind of wild uh I think it was yesterday as of the time of recording so Tuesday there was a random
00:05:26
Nintendo tweet that was on in Japanese and then a follow-up tweet that was translated English that said this is uh
00:05:33
furu Kawa president of Nintendo we will make an announcement about the successor to the Nintendo switch within the fiscal
00:05:39
year it has been over N9 years since we announced the existence of Nintendo switch back in March 2015 we'll be
00:05:45
holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024 but
00:05:50
please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo switch successor during that presentation so kind of wild
00:05:57
because Nintendo has not said a single thing about the existence of a followup
00:06:02
Nintendo switch at all they don't do that really they usually don't make announcements like that uh generally
00:06:08
because obviously they don't want people to just stop buying Hardware when there's a new one right around the corner so I think that that's sort of
00:06:15
what they're doing is they're like we're going to talk about it but just so you know we're not going to talk about any
00:06:23
software it well and also this like this this new Nintendo directs coming up it's not going to be mentioned but also like
00:06:29
but we will eventually is kind of cool and it's funny that the other article about Nintendo I saw about this recently
00:06:35
is that the switch is onpac this year to potentially beat the Nintendo DS as the
00:06:40
most sold device that Nintendo's ever done yeah which is which is wild wild yeah but I do think the switch is like
00:06:46
one of the coolest form factors ever I think the switch might be one of the coolest consoles just ever like like
00:06:53
yeah like it's one where if you're a Nintendo fan you're amped about it because it has all your games it has a
00:06:58
bunch of really cool ways to play it but even if you're someone who like plays games on your computer and that's where
00:07:04
you mostly play those people are still buying a switch I one of those I don't own an Xbox or Playstation anymore I
00:07:10
know I feel like if you own an Xbox or Playstation you're usually in one of those camps the switch feels like an awesome companion device to maybe
00:07:17
playing your bigger games and online games on your PC then some fun nostalgic Mario or like bring it on the plane that
00:07:24
whole thing or parties like having people over or playing Mario Kart is so much fun yeah and and I think that's why
00:07:30
they're selling so well because you're either a Nintendo fan and you bought it or it's like your secondary gaming
00:07:35
console cuz it's super well priced also I think the best part about it is the fact that you always have two
00:07:41
controllers on you at all times like it's such a cool idea and yes they're not super comfortable and they're a
00:07:46
little bit small but they work and I've had so many instances where I'll just be on a plane and I'll literally ask the
00:07:52
person sitting next to me if they want to play like someone you don't know that's awesome I do that all the time and it's like you know just play Mario
00:07:58
Kart I know it's fun that's I've seen so many people like waiting at the terminal and just like you see like three or four
00:08:06
kids just sitting around like you see the seat of course you're always like I need more seats and they have one seat
00:08:12
but that's where the nintend the switch is and then there's four kids like sitting on their luggage or on the ground playing Mario Kart and you're
00:08:18
like that's so awesome also on some of the flights I've been taking recently they probably advertised this as like
00:08:25
it's a high resolution screen now but they got rid of the screens on the back of the plane seed and they instead just
00:08:30
have a big clamp that can like hold your phone or an IP aw but it could also hold a switch so you can just like sit there
00:08:38
with your switch and your joycons and it doesn't have to be attached to the console I did not know that that's so cool such a good idea to have you ever
00:08:44
seen the people who like they take their phone with the case they pop the case off they take the puke bag out and they
00:08:50
like fiddle it into the seat and then snap the case on and it like holds their phone up on so they can watch content on
00:08:57
that so you know maybe they were they're just protecting yeah I mean it's funny because technically like those screens are
00:09:02
generally super low resolution and some Airlines have put the money into making them higher resolution but the best case
00:09:08
scenario is honestly just like use your phone or your laptop or IP
00:09:14
exactly count one we're not even in the iPad section yet hot take hot take there
00:09:20
was like a period of time where like a few Airlines had Direct TV they still there or there's got but a lot of
00:09:26
airlines have like gotten rid of it I've noticed but anyway yeah that was my favorite because I never get to watch TV
00:09:32
except in a plane or a hotel and so my favorite thing to do on flights is watch commercials HGTV yeah be like wow
00:09:39
they're still doing this this crazy Super Bowl yeah yeah exactly yeah um but we were talking about how uncomfortable
00:09:46
switch controllers were and annoying they are one of the main reasons they're super annoying are the rail system it's
00:09:52
kind of like how they had to be done but like putting them on is a pain in the neck and the worst is do you know the
00:09:58
little strap that has like the extra buttons you P one of those on backwards which is unfortunately very easy to do
00:10:04
hard to get off it's basically not impossible but it's extremely hard to just going to mention that like when they do you remember when the switch
00:10:09
first came out they like there was so many people doing that people were writing articles about how to correctly put it on it's like the the Note pen
00:10:16
when you put it in upside down which is way harder to do I think but like it would just get stuck um but it seems
00:10:22
like the rumor is magnets for this new one yeah so there's been a lot of rumors coming out about the switch 2 um but one
00:10:28
of the coolest rumor rors is that the switch 2 is going to have metal joycons that use electropermanent
00:10:34
magnets and this is very cool because sounds cool for someone who has no idea what that means basically how they work
00:10:41
is like you can send a little pulse of current through the switch SL joycon and
00:10:46
it'll it'll change the magnetic field so that it snaps to the console okay and
00:10:51
then you can send another pulse of current through and it'll change the magnetic field so it doesn't snap to the
00:10:57
console so the extremely Layman turns term is you can turn the magnets on and off yeah basically okay but but you get
00:11:03
that you get the added bonus of in an electromagnet which is a magnet you normally can turn it off you need to be
00:11:09
constantly running current through your magnet to maintain it's a hard it's a hard swap with just a one pulse of
00:11:15
electricity exactly so you get the best of both worlds yeah yeah because obviously if you had to constantly be
00:11:20
run constantly be running current through it to keep the magnetic field going when you turn the console off they
00:11:26
just fall off oh okay so if it's off so so you put it in the case and it'll stay
00:11:31
on you press a button and they pop off for when you it's pretty imagine just
00:11:36
like going up to now the the person that's sitting next to you in the airport you're just like you want to play and you just like press the button
00:11:42
they both fall into like both people's hands we're like we're ready that better be in the ad man that better be in the
00:11:47
ad um that that sounds already like a huge upgrade like
00:11:52
you you wonder what the switch upgrades are going to be right like the main things you assume is just like it'll have a higher resolution and maybe have
00:11:58
a little more power in it but like how do you update this really cool form
00:12:03
factor that you've made already and they've kind of screwed things up before where they did the really cool or remember like the really cool Wii and
00:12:09
then you released Wii U and that like bombs terribly so Ellis I think is a Wii U fan or forever forever no I never
00:12:18
owned one but the Wii U it in some ways like a precursor to the switch it was a
00:12:24
it was like a like a prototype of the switch Yeah but they mostly focus on weave on like the screen being extra
00:12:31
information rather than a to go thing totally yeah you couldn't really take it with you they're so close yeah they're
00:12:36
so close um but there are some rumors about the ways that they're going to be updating this uh larger 8in display
00:12:43
which I assume will be OLED considering they already have the switch OLED I don't think that they're going to like go back in display quality it should be
00:12:51
maybe I don't know uh it should be 1080p resolution which you know for Nintendo games is fine uh and it should support
00:12:58
4K out put when the dock is connected this is the part that I don't understand what why would it support 4K output well
00:13:06
current so the Nintendo games are like that high quality but they will be oh okay yeah and it's constantly being
00:13:13
powered so they can push more power into it cuz currently it's 720p on the display and when you put it in the dock
00:13:18
it can support up to with more power current no
00:13:24
yeah right now Buzz right now it's a 720 p display when
00:13:29
you hook it up to the dock it supports up to 1080p output um because it's constantly being powered and I think
00:13:35
Nintendo's the only one who could have pulled that off because like their games are very cartoony but like I still want it in 4k like I'll still take that
00:13:43
totally yeah but if it raises the price even a little bit I would rather just have the 1080p to play my cartoon games
00:13:50
you know it's not buy switch one it's been eight years it's been like almost eight years since the original switch
00:13:55
came I just I would love Nintendo games to be higher Graphics where that would makes sense but I'm not sure that well
00:14:00
it's not I don't think it's going to be higher Graphics to where to the point where it's like we're using like realistic textures it's just that they
00:14:07
need to upscale stuff so they need you don't want R tracing Mario I mean that's probably a thing
00:14:13
already to be honest I want to see Mario's like 5:00 shadow I want to see every hair do you remember the um Mario
00:14:19
M Super Mario World where the starting screen you could just like pull his face and his hat and everything imagine Ray
00:14:26
tracing 4K it like the Ren and Stimpy closeup with like the moles and the yeah
00:14:31
that's where we're getting so the joycons will apparently there's so many Millennial references in there I'm sorry
00:14:37
for the younger listeners the joy-cons will apparently be made of metal which is pretty cool um and apparently some
00:14:44
peripheral manufacturers were allowed to put their hands in a black box that had a prototype switch to in it but they
00:14:50
weren't allowed to see it they could only feel it they could only feel it so that they could get a sense of its size
00:14:56
and scale and button so that they could start ideating why don't we get to do that that's so cool so funny you're at
00:15:02
an event David ready the CEO walks up to you is like hey you want to feel
00:15:07
something follow me to this black box just put your hand in there no questions asked put your hand in this black box
00:15:13
this is studio video that's crazy you know they invited
00:15:19
people to come to their headquarters and touch it in the black box I feel like this is a this is the updated version of
00:15:25
like what phone is this behind your back where we just take the box on the studio Channel and then we put random Tech
00:15:30
items in and people have to figure out what item it is oh yeah we're sending this to slack directly after this but
00:15:37
yes that would be awesome yeah so the original switch was announced in 2015 and didn't come out until 2017 so
00:15:43
they're going to announce the switch to by the end of the fiscal year which is by April 2025 but it might not come out
00:15:50
till 2027 it might be a straight decade before switch 2 comes which it would be nice if it came out next year too but
00:15:57
you know two two do that was better ring that one thank you there you go thanks all right um
00:16:04
yeah so those are all rumors uh at least we got an official tweet from official Nintendo which is not something that
00:16:09
happens very often but I'm very eager to see where that uh do do you think when
00:16:15
it comes out it will be as hard to get do you remember switch coming out and I
00:16:21
mean like it wasn't quite PlayStation 5 levels of hard to get but I remember at that point I wasn't working and I
00:16:26
remember driving I drove everywhere to go get it because like no one would pick up the phones in the like like Target or
00:16:33
Walmart like Electronics departments or they would pick up the phone and say we don't have a switch and then like see if you had another question and then you
00:16:39
just hang up it's so funny because I was not going to go buy it on launch day and
00:16:45
I was like I was living in San Francisco I was sitting in my room and I was just like reading all these reviews about it
00:16:50
I was like ah maybe I do want to go get one and so I just like walked over to Best Buy and there was a line I just got
00:16:55
in the line they just gave me one it was fine and then when this when the switch OLED came out I remember it was
00:17:01
impossible to get every everywhere it was completely impossible to get and one day I was just sitting in the cafe and I
00:17:06
was like yeah I would I would kind of like to get one so I like go on best buy.com and it was like available at a
00:17:12
store near you and I was like that's weird so I hit buy and pick up so I go to Best Buy and the guy like takes it
00:17:19
out of the back he's like dude how did you were you like Bing like how are you able to get this like we never have any
00:17:25
in stock and I was like I literally just went on the website that's when the ps6 comes out I'm going to ask you to get
00:17:31
for I was going to say that's why David isn't getting any of his like like or Leica or Fuji cameras cuz he wasted all
00:17:36
his luck on the switch I wanted that Fuji special edition but all right
00:17:42
that's funny yeah I I had a really hard time getting it hopefully this is a little easier but I feel like console sales the first month or two is insane
00:17:49
it's always insane especially because they usually come out like right before holidays so it's just Madness yeah cons
00:17:56
I feel like consoles have it down to a science of how to just be the most popular thing at that time yeah what um
00:18:04
what frame rate does the switch run at do you know I just assumed you mean on like output or on I
00:18:10
kind of just assume 30 to be honest but when you're also giving us something in 720p and 2017 I assume the lowest most
00:18:16
games can only manage 30 most games can only manage 30 it would be nice if they pushed it to 60 it would be um Nintendo
00:18:24
games don't need it as much because everything's so like the animations are like w Marquez has gone for one episode
00:18:30
and you're like let's push it up to 60 baby let's make all of our videos 60 would you rather 1080 at 60 or 4K at
00:18:39
30 um on a handheld for oh you're saying
00:18:44
only on device Oh you mean both so let's okay let's say I would do 1080 at 60
00:18:50
personally on device or on output because cuz like Nintendo games don't
00:18:55
need to be high resolution the switch is 720 it feels fine yeah it's so it's so
00:19:01
funny that we always talk about specs of like higher fresh rate higher resolution and all of like the switch is the greatest thing ever and it's it's just
00:19:07
giving us 720 30 no Nintendo games are made to be realistic they're all highly stylized and they focus on fun over
00:19:15
Graphics that's always been the difference well I also wonder but it also feels great at 30 so like do I need
00:19:20
60 would I rather just be like super crisp 4K well Splatoon uses 60 that's
00:19:25
one of the games that can go up which makes sense yeah that makes yeah cuz the animations for Splatoon are like mhm
00:19:32
does smash have Super Smash Bros have 60 I hope not but I'll check you hope not
00:19:38
feel like like a thing where people that really play it know the frame rate and like when to press buttons yeah well
00:19:43
that's more for melee though I also I feel like competitive games are normally where you start prioritizing and I'm not
00:19:50
a smash player so I could send like a total here but generally competitive games are where you prioritize frame rate over Graphics
00:19:58
quality at least because so many of the moves are frame perfect like you have to hit the button at exactly the right time
00:20:03
a higher refresh rate would probably be more difficult I was just going to say is it like better because you can figure
00:20:09
it out easier and maybe see more of what's going on or we'll totally mess up timing I guess it doesn't affect timing
00:20:15
but yeah I guess the sampling rate is going to be different from the frame rate so also Super Smash BR does run at 60 60 that makes sense yeah
00:20:23
120 240 or no go yeah so anyway
00:20:29
um we're probably going to be hearing a lot more rumors about that uh for the next year up until they actually announce it but I am quite excited I
00:20:36
mean it'll be the next console that I buy and the last console that I bought was the switch so the only non- Nintendo
00:20:42
console I've ever owned besides a PC which is not a console uh was the PS2 that I like randomly got for Christmas I
00:20:49
was big Xbox guy for a while had first one I I man I don't want a story time
00:20:54
too much but I remember my friend was going to get an Xbox and my mom was like I don't think we can do it this year I
00:20:59
was like okay cool I go to my friend's house all the way and then one day she picks me up for my friend's house and was like we have an Xbox at home like
00:21:05
it's not even Christmas yet and then she got Halo and then I played Halo for like
00:21:11
10 years after she was like the guy just told me to get this game and I was like what is this the controls were inverted
00:21:17
that felt so weird to aim inverted yeah yeah that started me flashlight button dude yeah that was like the coolest part
00:21:25
I remember like flashlight button yeah the original Xbox had a white and a black back button sort of like below the
00:21:31
the right stick old Xbox controller was nuts it was so big yeah all right well
00:21:38
we got a lot more to talk about for this episode so we're going to take a quick ad break but when we come back we got all about the new OLED iPad pros and the
00:21:46
iPad Air and then we got the pixel 8A and we've got all this stuff uh it's a busy week so we'll be right back but
00:21:54
first I forgot just like Marquez always Marquez always forgets to so I guess we are the same person we got
00:22:02
trivia all right uh before we get into trivia two pieces of trivia housekeeping one so many of you sent me excellent
00:22:11
amazing Android devices that you would never expect run on Android that Adam and I talked and we decided like we
00:22:17
couldn't even pick the best ones so next trivia Extravaganza we're going to do a whole is this Android or is this not
00:22:23
Android keep sending those in we've gotten so many good ones but I'll take as many as you guys have um housekeeping
00:22:30
business number two there was like a super obvious Dune joke uh when you're were talking about the switch
00:22:36
controllers in the bag and I'm you know going to help not going to I'm I'm going to not make it to spare you guys who
00:22:41
still have not seen Dune 2 but uh for everyone that has seen Dune pretty funny right all right part three the actual
00:22:49
trivia question for today yeah I just had to let everyone know that like I'm thinking about Dune you know Alice is
00:22:56
always the yeah if you're not in the office Roman Empire dude yeah Dune chili
00:23:02
dogs uh Dune two Dune two exactly all right question number one those electropermanent magnets from the
00:23:10
hypothetical switch controllers are pretty futuristic huh but what if I told you we have a device in our office right
00:23:18
now that has them what room is it in it's uh there's we have a bunch of them
00:23:24
all over the office the central part of the office where everyone's desks are
00:23:29
and possibly floating around our sets too what are they a bunch how much is a
00:23:35
bunch how many would you say we have in the office okay that already answers my question okay yeah enough enough okay
00:23:43
yeah interesting not hundreds what if we pick a different one that has an electropermanent magnet in it I would be
00:23:50
impressed yeah I would be impressed okay cool I think David and I forgot that we're supposed to throw it to the break

00:26:24
genius with Cloud 3 by anthropic all right welcome back we had a very big
00:26:29
also very small uh Apple event this week it was about 40 minutes long and they talked
00:26:35
mostly about new OLED iPads and also new iPad Air and also new apple pencil Pro
00:26:41
MH uh and also new magic keyboard so definitely a lot to talk about um I
00:26:46
think we'll just start with the iPad Air and just kind of move on from there we'll kind of go in the direction that the EV went in let's kick things off
00:26:53
with iPad Air we got a new iPad Air we got an 11-in model and a 13in model model uh the last models of iPad Air
00:27:00
were actually 10.9 in so having two new iPad Airs big sizes small sizes is
00:27:06
pretty cool M2 Chip um which I found a little bit weird considering it's a little old now but my guess is that M2
00:27:14
was specifically the generation of Chip that sold really badly uh and so I think that they probably just have a ton of
00:27:21
extra stock in that and that's what they're putting in the iPad Air I could I think that I'm assuming your theory on that is M1 we've talked about a million
00:27:27
times before is this like crazy generational awesome jump and then M2 is like cool but if you have M1 it's a
00:27:34
little spec bump pretty much and so like M2 is going to be the worst selling iPad Air has only had M1 in it since so like
00:27:42
this is still an upgrade for that but it's just further down the one yeah totally uh they've got some new colors
00:27:47
space gray blue purple Starlight they say it's 50% faster than the M1 air
00:27:52
whatever the heck that means on an iPad um cuz who cares uh actually said the
00:27:58
word AI fairly frequently during this which more than anyone expected yeah which is very interesting uh it works
00:28:05
with the new magic keyboard it works with apple pencil hover they upgraded the Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi 6E and now it's gets
00:28:13
up to a terabyte of storage and instead of starting at 64 gigabytes it starts at 128 which is nice I find it funny that
00:28:19
over the last couple announcements we've had of a lot of different things we are way less excited about the like highest
00:28:27
storage you can get and way more excited that they're just taking away these like pathetically low amounts of storage on
00:28:33
some things so that is great that we don't have a 64 gig the fact that it came in 64 gigs before was insane truly
00:28:41
insane it really like here having an M1 like this super powerful chip that's arguably more powerful than a lot of
00:28:47
computers and laptops out there and enjoy your 64 gigs of storage totally insane um so those start at $5.99 and
00:28:54
$7.99 but the more exciting more new models this year was the iPad Pro before
00:29:01
we get there real quick what is Apple doing with their colors I feel like they
00:29:06
are just Alex said when we were watching it it's just like they're just taking away saturation every year it feels like
00:29:12
and I get that past pastels are cool and stuff but like an iPad to me seems like one of those things that can be really
00:29:18
fun like the iPad and the IMAX I loved what they did with those like those are the more fun less like really intense at
00:29:25
least the air like right let me have some cool colors these are all basically look the same I think we were looking at
00:29:31
footage Marquez took and Tim was making a thumbnail on it and gave Marquez the thumbnail he's like I thought this was
00:29:37
the blue one and Tim was like I thought it was the silver one and then he was like maybe it's the pink one like they literally couldn't figure it out cuz the
00:29:43
lighting was so weird and they were trying to color correct for yeah so it just like they all look too similar this
00:29:49
seems to be a thing that's happening across every tech industry where the super low-end devices get a lot of fun
00:29:56
colors and then the high-end devices either get boring colors or just a
00:30:01
couple of colors I me remember the 5c yeah exactly yeah yeah and the lowest end iPad which got a a price cut and is
00:30:08
now 3.49 those come in four much more saturated colors yeah do you think if
00:30:14
they redid those this year they would have toned them down or I don't think so okay I think that they see it as like
00:30:20
the cheapest one is going to be the one you get for your kids and kids like bright colorful things man us us
00:30:27
grown-ups like having fun too I know if you don't know about that yeah and usually like they release one kind of
00:30:34
fun color for a high-end model like Samsung will do one fun color Google will do one fun color I think Samsung did a bunch of Samsung lately has been
00:30:41
doing like the fun colors as like the online exclusive ones which is like okay I guess that's one way to get people to
00:30:47
get cool colors but like yeah they had an orange s24 I like I love my orange s24 I think it looks fantastic and I
00:30:54
bought it immediately because I thought that was the cooler one but you have the orange one yeah what I wanted the orang
00:31:00
is mine the orange one or I think so yeah you did get this looks so good I wanted that Ultra color so bad but you
00:31:07
didn't get it from Samsung I get it from so they didn't have it yeah I agree like look how cool that color is I don't know
00:31:13
it's been in your case for so long that I totally I think even in the case though it oops I put it in backwards
00:31:18
like you get some of the rails on the back here that looks nice and it pokes through on the front I agree I think um
00:31:24
I think Michael Fisher might have done a video about why all the high-end devices
00:31:29
have boring colors because he did a interview with some higher upset Samsung about it and it had to do with like they
00:31:35
only really sell black and black and silver and white and nobody buys the fun
00:31:41
colors which is weird I'm sure the sales are against what we are saying and like
00:31:48
I'm sure Apple knows that if like better colors would sell better they would do it's like we want things but the general
00:31:54
mass does not luckily Channel sponsor dbrand is probably like thank God they're not
00:32:00
doing any cool colors let's throw some cool colors on there yeah so so pretty boring that's like a kind of middle of
00:32:06
the road because like I said they just cut the price of the standard iPad to $350 which pretty pretty affordable um
00:32:14
so you know if you want the new Air you got it's kind of like that in between model but the more interesting iPads are
00:32:20
the iPad Pro obviously also coming in 11 in and 13 in uh prior it was 11 and 12.9
00:32:26
which I think is funny cuz when if they said 13in I don't know if it's just their marketing or everyone's saying like iPad and 13 I'm so pumped about it
00:32:34
I was like yeah bigger iPad and then someone said what was the last size I
00:32:39
12.9 wait what that is basically the same thing why am I this excited so
00:32:44
marketing's working yeah the marketing is working um the these are the thinnest Apple devices ever made at least the 13
00:32:52
in so the 11in model is 5.3 mm and the 13in model is 5.1 mm and they made a big
00:33:00
deal that it is thinner than the than the iPod Nano do you I had this thought this morning mhm which iPod Nano did
00:33:07
they show it was like I thought it was the iPod Nano seven which is the long one it was the long one okay is it
00:33:14
thinner than this six gen one cuz this is all I could think about and how little it is I mean maybe with the clip
00:33:22
included okay cuz the clip adds adds with and maybe they didn't compare it against that that's it is like it looks
00:33:29
crazy thin so and I don't have the specs for this so it very well could be thin oh yeah that clip I can't believe they made that product that's amazing this is
00:33:36
a cool product such a cool product I thought this is awesome like just enough screen for music browsing that's all you needed the little square iPod n with the
00:33:43
headphone jack you could climp it onto your pants and or even on like your shirt it's the pin the the pin the AI it
00:33:50
does just as much the it's the I pin the the Apple eye pin uh yeah so these are
00:33:56
insanely thin iPads which Jerry rig everything is going to have fun with um one of them
00:34:03
is98 lbs and the other is the 11 in 98 lb and the other one is 1.28 lb they're
00:34:10
also different sorry go ahead they're also different thicknesses weirdly yeah the 13in is thinner which is strange
00:34:16
it's the bigger one but by very minimal but 5.3 to 5.1 mm but on top of these
00:34:23
two things I think you said before the iPad Air is the boring announcement this
00:34:29
made it boring because the iPad Air was always the smaller easier to carry one these are now lighter and thinner than
00:34:35
the iPad Air as the pros they're lighter than the iPad Air yeah there's so that's there's so much irony in there that's
00:34:41
very funny yeah I don't know I feel like it's kind of weird now that they have an iPad and an iPad Air and they both look
00:34:47
kind of the same because they have the same form factor now so they're probably maintaining the air branding because the
00:34:53
MacBook Air was such a powerful brand name that they put it on the pad uh but
00:34:59
at this point like all of their products are thin and light so it's kind of hard to you know what does air even mean
00:35:04
anymore they can't pull it out of an envelope they I know I like they could it's immediately just like one of the
00:35:11
coolest marketing yeah like strategies ever was that that envelope was so cool
00:35:16
um yeah it was now you're pulling an iPad Pro out of it instead yeah yeah um
00:35:22
okay so they only come in silver and space black which is exactly what I was saying like the Pro Models are so boring
00:35:28
in those colors but uh they have some new technology so there is a new screen
00:35:33
technology they're using they used to be using mini LED in the 12.9 in pro model
00:35:38
now they're using a technology called tandem OLED um and basically OLED
00:35:43
technology is like this interesting technology that has all these pros and cons where individual pixels can light
00:35:49
up because they're self-illuminating and that allows you to have a bunch of the pixels off if the screen is black in
00:35:55
those areas which means you have like an infinite contrast ratio you get a bunch of blacks um previously they used mini
00:36:02
LED which was like these tiny tiny tiny LED Arrangements which gave you all these different lighting zones and it
00:36:07
was like a lot better than standard LED but they really wanted to go OLED eventually the problem with OLED is is
00:36:13
twofold one there's a thing called Burnin which we've been seeing in a lot of phones over the last number of years
00:36:19
where if you put too much current through and make them too bright or have them on for too long it will burn into
00:36:25
the screen and you will see like the remnants of that in the display it's
00:36:30
also a reason why like LG OLED TVs always have like super aggressive like screen savers CU if you like pause a
00:36:36
video or something within like a couple minutes that like firecracker screen saver will come up because they don't want you to just burn in the YouTube
00:36:43
player exactly um and then the other thing is that OLED is traditionally pretty hard to get bright okay so it's
00:36:49
hard to like make those super bright so they have been developing this technology called tandem OLED which is
00:36:55
basically two OLED displays just on top of each other um so this way they're
00:37:01
able to get twice the brightness and they're able to mirror the exact brightness that they had in the mini LED
00:37:06
one so it's a th000 nits for SDR and HDR content and 1,600 nits for Peak
00:37:12
brightness um but this time it's coming to both models cool uh last generation
00:37:17
it was the 11-in had an LCD display and only the 12.9 in had the mini mini LED
00:37:23
display okay so that actually leaves a lot of questions to be had because they
00:37:29
are $300 different which they have the exact same specs the only difference is that the
00:37:36
13inch is thinner by 2 millimet and that's the only thing and then the screen is bigger obviously but it's 300
00:37:42
bucks which is crazy yeah it's it's one of those things where it feels like that's a huge leap for just slightly
00:37:49
bigger but also I kind of feel like if you're buying the pro you're probably not as worried about your money as
00:37:55
possible and if you really want something that is larger I think people will throw $300 at
00:38:00
it I don't know if that means it should be $300 more but yeah I think people will buy it I mean yeah they probably
00:38:06
will buy it I feel like I would be more likely to buy the 11 in since it's $1,000 versus 1300 I totally agree I
00:38:12
also think I would prefer 11 in better than a huge tablet I don't think I want something as small as like a mini I know
00:38:18
there's plenty of people who would love a Mini Pro yeah yeah Ellis isn't paying attention or sorry I was curious it's
00:38:26
some nerd stuff I were you looking up the tandem OLED Stu I looking up this morning I was curious if you needed a
00:38:32
second set of electrodes in a tandem OLED setup you don't at least my prelim
00:38:39
research because you see guys an OLED screen is a I'm just to no to be fair
00:38:44
and this might sound really stupid but it's like when they said tandem OLED they're basically saying two OLED I'm
00:38:50
like how much more expensive this is going to be because it's kind of like two screens but it's not like two screens that's thing because because an
00:38:57
OLED what separates an OLED screen from a mini LED screen I mean other than the
00:39:02
OLED light sources being like way way tinier is that a mil mini LED screen is like this array of these discrete uh
00:39:09
transducers that are like generating light when they accept current an OLED screen is like uh you know it's it's
00:39:15
it's a it's a film of organic compounds that when exposed to a current generate
00:39:21
light similar to a diode and so what you do is you put an anode and a cathode on either side of that film
00:39:27
and then you're sending light you're sending current through it specific points and typically you make the anode
00:39:33
black and the cathode transparent and then the light hits your eyeballs so really all you need to do is take a
00:39:39
second film with those carbon diodes and also put it between that anode and
00:39:44
cathode and then just kick up the juice a little bit more yeah um so it's not like having two displays it's more like
00:39:50
having one and a third display okay yeah and the benefit is you're not putting more current into an individual
00:39:57
display you're like putting it into both so you don't you get less burn in this way oh okay it's much less likely to get
00:40:03
burn in because you're not like putting more current through it and I'm also assuming they're doing I might be wrong
00:40:08
Ellis do you know have any TVs that do this tandem olet no this is the only product okay so and I'm assuming that is
00:40:14
you said to increase brightness because we we don't take our TVs outside where we're taking an iPad outside and you
00:40:19
generally need obviously much higher brightness what I read this morning said that this was the first uh display in
00:40:25
the world that uses it T it might be but I'm seeing scientific papers about
00:40:31
stacked Ola displays going back like 20 30 years yeah that makes sense what I read is that the technology was just
00:40:37
super expensive and that Apple basically used mini LED as like a filler in
00:40:42
between getting to this technology cheap enough that makes sense also I need to correct something I said earlier earlier
00:40:47
I said the cathode is transparent and the anode is not on TVs it's the other way around the the cathode is not
00:40:54
transparent the anode is transparent I caught that I'm sorry yeah okay anyway I just want
00:41:02
to say we have not mentioned the most important upgrade to these iPads the FaceTime camera is on the
00:41:09
correct side finally so they moved yeah so they finally moved cuz the last
00:41:15
generation in the cheaper iPads they moved the FaceTime camera to the horizontal Edge uh but in the more
00:41:21
expensive was they didn't which seemed insane now it's on the horizontal Edge so when you're doing a FaceTime call and
00:41:26
your iPad is like horizontal you can actually it won't be over here yeah I feel like I the of your face make that
00:41:32
connection where the pro model is much more likely to be put onto some sort of stand and be used toward like landscape
00:41:38
mode than the cheat model which is probably like kids and older people like
00:41:43
just holding it up and doing yeah that's very funny yeah it's funny um so okay also there's going to be a nanotexture
00:41:50
glass option but it's only available on the one terab and 2 terab models of the
00:41:55
pro uh and it's an extra $100 and Marquez got to see it he said it was
00:42:02
pretty weird cuz it it's sort of like that paper like film that you can put on your iPad so it gives it like kind of
00:42:09
that texture and it cuts down on glare but that's also cutting down on sharpness and brightness he said
00:42:15
contrast and sharpness I think contrast and sharpness so you're really like I feel like that's specific they're really
00:42:21
targeting like professional artists who use iPads for that because um like why
00:42:28
else would you buy that yeah I mean if you're in a position where you get a lot
00:42:34
of glare and its B it to be fair in the video when he showed it and the lights were showing like the glare does look
00:42:39
significantly reduced but like yeah I guess if you're in a position also an iPad feels like something that would be
00:42:44
the easiest to pull away from glare because of how mobile it is but yeah uh
00:42:50
I don't know who exactly that's targeted at yeah I personally think that it would be better to just buy one of those
00:42:55
paperlike displays because then you can take it off if you don't like it that's a very good point yeah or like maybe if
00:43:01
you're looking to upgrade your iPad maybe buy one for your current iPad and see what it affects before making the
00:43:07
purchase decision of that right but considering it's only available on the one and two terabyte models I'm guessing
00:43:12
that they're like hardcore like artists that store a ton of stuff locally on their iPad yeah I'm not sure when for an
00:43:20
artist is there a reason why you think it would be them just because you're losing like sharpness in or you're
00:43:27
saying like artist because like because it Vector Imes it has a little bit of a texture to it and the reason that people
00:43:33
buy the paper like thing is because it makes it feel more like writing on paper H yeah I'm not sure yeah I'm not
00:43:42
but we do not have any xdr displays with the anti does it mine has it do you feel
00:43:49
like it looks different my studio display does it really do you guys feel a difference when you look between the
00:43:54
monitors no um yes okay yeah I do Well Ellis is looking at
00:44:01
audio so get out of here yeah also something there's a bunch of little
00:44:06
small things that I like dug up this morning now that it's been long enough after the event uh we're getting a new
00:44:13
M4 chip in these iPads which I think we should talk about a little bit the fact that it's very weird to launch their
00:44:21
brand new chip that's like focused around Ai and like tops of performance in a thing that needs no more power than
00:44:28
it already has totally agree like wh why I've they've always been kind of strange
00:44:33
in how they what products they released these new chips in I felt like cuz wasn't the was it like M2 or M3 one of
00:44:41
the first things it was in was like a 13inch MacBook Pro and like a the touch bar MacBook Pro when it was like already
00:44:48
and then the MacBook Air had like a new design and yeah I don't remember exactly what that is but it's always it's never
00:44:54
been the like the pro the cool Pro version that feels like it needs the most Compu I think it's because they'd
00:45:00
have to launch uh the the pro like M2 Pro and M2 Max with it yeah and they
00:45:05
don't always do that usually they just do an architecture jump and just put it in some cheaper products and then they
00:45:11
later release the pro stuff do you think there's any part of that to be like well
00:45:16
now the non-pro version has this bigger chip so it might be more powerful than my pro version so I can buy the more
00:45:21
powerful version and then now you have a a halflife a half a year update each year cuz like Marquez when he had
00:45:29
the before he decided that like M1 was going to be totally fine for him he had like the M1 MacBook Pro and then like
00:45:35
the M2 MacBook Air came out I think and there was this like well that's technically better yeah are you going to
00:45:42
get it like there's that thought process of like this is the more powerful machine even though it's not the pro version
00:45:48
right yeah I mean the the thing people into it I I don't know I mean it's been
00:45:54
like there was no new iPads released last year mhm and that's the longest
00:45:59
that they've gone without updating the iPad ever and so maybe they just figured
00:46:05
like okay we got to update the iPad and my hot take is that Qualcomm is
00:46:11
announcing well they're releasing their first ex Elite laptops in like there's
00:46:16
there's a Microsoft Event later this month that everyone assumes is going to release the X Elite stuff um and Asus
00:46:23
was like teasing like an AI PC thing so I think all this stuff is going to come out at qualcomm's Tech Summit back in
00:46:29
October they made a bunch of like performance metric comparisons and it
00:46:35
seems like it like outperforms M3 so by like a certain amount of percentage so
00:46:41
I'm assuming that they are just like getting the M4 out the door so that they
00:46:46
can say we still have the fastest arm chips on the market it something that would back that claim up is there are
00:46:53
quite a few things they announced that were coming as features or software for this that aren't coming out till later
00:46:58
this summer right everyone's favorite let's announce it enjoy it later but byy
00:47:03
now yeah so like that would kind of back up your claim on that but it also feels weird just like when is Apple really
00:47:09
giving a damn about what other people are doing and again like they're if they're doing that to be like we're
00:47:15
better than you and then iPad actual owners are like we don't need this we don't need this is a weird device to
00:47:21
release it in um they were making a bunch of these like instant background
00:47:27
removal demos and all this stuff that it can do because it has it's very focused on AI performance they have all these um
00:47:34
machine learning cores that was a you're talking about the in Final Cup Pro where
00:47:39
it was like essentially rotoscoping out the inant rotoscoping I would love to see that in real time because that seems
00:47:46
extremely powerful if it works that well obviously the examples are always going to look perfect but Da Vinci resolve
00:47:51
actually has a lot of features um so yeah that's stuff you just have to hire people to like do and now an iPad can
00:47:59
potentially do it in one one click which is crazy uh other stuff about the M4 um
00:48:05
it also has a new display engine that enables 10 to 120 htz promotion support
00:48:10
so these iPad Pros will go down to 10 HZ previously they only went down to 24 Herz okay so that's a little slower I
00:48:16
would love for them to eventually go down to one like a lot of the smartphones that we see so that you know you could use it as an e-reader or
00:48:22
something and not worry about draining your battery but whatever um there are four performance cores and six
00:48:28
efficiency cores but as we found out only the one Tab and the 2 tbte have all
00:48:34
four performance cores and if you get any of the other models they only have three performance cores they're bined
00:48:39
fun which they didn't say no and you can only see that if you go on the Apple website and look at the specific specs
00:48:45
which is kind of crazy yeah I've I'm sure there's reasonings and there have been in the past but it's always weird
00:48:51
when the storage option seems to change like performance things but yeah well and then the other thing is that they
00:48:57
also didn't say is the uh 256 and 512 options are 8 gigs of RAM and the one
00:49:05
terab and two terab are 16 gigs of RAM which is like a huge difference yeah and
00:49:11
they didn't mention that either yeah I I mean I ultimately it has to come down to just like uh skew numbers and hey it's
00:49:18
just easier if we assume somebody with wanting more storage is going to want a little more power and those people are willing to spend money so let's just
00:49:25
rather than have all this customization of like 16 gigs of RAM but 256 of
00:49:30
storage like we don't need to make those it just it's unfortunate if you want if
00:49:37
you don't need a terabyte of storage well I also find some irony in that because part of the reason that the M
00:49:42
Series Laptops are so good is that you can get less Ram because of the insanely fast swap memory uh but if you get the
00:49:49
lower storage options then you get less Ram so you have less swap memory available but if you have the higher
00:49:55
storage options have more swap memory available so I it's all yeah it's all
00:50:01
confusing and I I mean there it just seems like they're going to like buy the expensive
00:50:06
one yeah come on I guess but then you're paying like $2,000 for bu it's like $2,500 is the most expensive the most
00:50:12
expensive I think was like 2600 or something like that which is crazy $600
00:50:18
IP Pro please um okay they quietly got rid of a
00:50:25
camera and almost felt like int it but it felt like they were trying to by
00:50:30
adding that light R sensor by almost looking like a camera it I feel like that camera bump is the most like
00:50:39
disorganized unesthetic pleasing camera bump Apple has ever done just nothing
00:50:44
matches everything is like a different Circle or color it felt off it felt like the models that we get that just have
00:50:50
like fake glass and fake cameras on the back they're all matte so instead of
00:50:56
like on the iPhone where you have like the clear glass bump it's like just matte metal bump just feels very strange
00:51:03
um but yeah they got rid of a camera which is super weird I was thinking that they would you know realign them like
00:51:08
they did with the iPhones for spatial video your grandma could take spal video
00:51:14
at the baseball game you need a Vision Pro for that yeah um but no we just have
00:51:20
one 12 megapixel camera for 4K video uh they added some they a true
00:51:27
tone flash for document scanning so now it like takes a bunch of different
00:51:32
flashes to kind of adaptively create a
00:51:37
image of a document that isn't shadowed in any way that doesn't feel like it's cuz like scanners are the worst we all
00:51:43
just want to take pictures but pictures look like pictures a lot there's an app called Google photo scan that's been out
00:51:49
for like a decade and it had this feature where you would like it would have these four dots and you'd move your
00:51:55
phone and it would take four Images so that the Shadows were all were all different and then it would stitch them
00:52:00
together and create a PDF from that how's that not just a default camera option in every phone available I think
00:52:06
Samsung phones have always had photo scanners like I'm going have to look at that because I did not know about that yeah Sam Samsung has a bazillion
00:52:15
feature photo scanner what Palma baby it's not a phone it's not a f yeah uh
00:52:22
yeah probably all made by uh the sanage and mod people while they Samsung
00:52:27
um can we just look at this camera bump is that five different diameter circles yes every single circle is a different
00:52:34
size yeah and that just looks so unapp it is really weird it's and nobody knows
00:52:41
what if this is the lar uh nobody knows what that other circle is because
00:52:46
there's a flash there's a microphone there's a lar there's a camera and then nobody knows what that last one is and
00:52:52
nobody's I haven't seen anything online about what it is um okay I just went on the most
00:52:59
ridiculous deep dive of my whole entire life and yes while literally every news
00:53:04
Outlet is reporting that this is the first device with a tandem OLED screen that just does not seem like anywhere
00:53:10
near the truth um LG claims that they started mass-producing tandem OLED
00:53:16
screens in 2019 but is it called tandem OLED or OLED they use the term tandem
00:53:21
OLED um but do they put them in anything it seems to me that they uh we're
00:53:27
putting them in cars so it seems like apple is going to get away with saying they're the first to do this because it
00:53:33
seems like LG doesn't want anyone that's using them to like announce they're using the tech but uh it does not seem
00:53:41
anywhere near like the first device maybe like if you don't count Automotive displays as displays you
00:53:47
can all right uh that's about it for the iPads there is also a new thinner and
00:53:53
lighter magic keyboard uh that they said makes it feel just like a Macbook uh because it's made of aluminum
00:54:00
it's got the dude this is just a Macbook what's a computer what's a computer I
00:54:06
know get it yeah it's made of aluminum it's got the function row uh it has heptic feedback for the trackpad it it
00:54:12
seems like they literally ripped the bottom off of a Macbook and like turned it into a magic keyboard which it's yeah it's I'll go
00:54:21
against the grain I I don't like this to me sounds like
00:54:27
I guess cuz it's not Mac OS but like I hate twoin ones cuz I think they're just
00:54:32
stupid I think I'd rather have like an if I was more focused on the tablet part of a twoin one and having this accessory
00:54:39
despite it being $350 for the 13 in yeah yeah like this
00:54:44
accessory that does make it a little worse laptop but close to a laptop and functionality of a laptop and I still
00:54:50
get my really nice iPad Pro I take this over a two in one yeah I want to try it
00:54:56
but it can apparently now push 40 Watts through those pins that the iPad floats on which is pretty crazy that's nice um
00:55:03
but yeah $300 for the 11 in and 350 for the 13in which by the way that makes
00:55:10
this keyboard if you buy the 13in keyboard the same price as the Baseline iPad nice which is
00:55:17
crazy um yeah so it's gets mad at Andrew for spending $300 maybe I've just spent
00:55:23
$300 on too many keyboards before this doesn't seem that wild that's fair
00:55:29
uh but yeah starts at $9.99 and $12.99 which again very big price jump instead
00:55:34
of making it Mac OS they're just like taking all of their apps and putting it on iPad like Final Cut and logic and
00:55:40
everything you mean Final Cut for iPad too that confused our entire office for
00:55:45
a while yeah this is very confusing they announced two new app well three new apps actually they announced Final Cut
00:55:52
for iPad 2 which is weird because Final Cut IP had didn't come out that long ago
00:55:58
and it was missing a bazillion features and is a monthly subscription and sucks in a lot of ways it was also confusing
00:56:05
how they said it because what they said was with two new apps Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro 2 yeah to me that is Final Cut
00:56:13
Pro and Logic Pro 2 then we started thinking it was called Final Cut Pro 2 and then we got in this we got very
00:56:20
worried that maybe they were going to do a final code Pro 2 for the mac and then charge people again but then somebody
00:56:26
was like wait why is this called iPad 2 and it's like no it's called Final Cut for iPad 2 yeah which why are they doing
00:56:33
that I don't Final Cut for for iPad 2 if you hover over it on that will that pop
00:56:39
up and say Final Cut for iPad 2 probably I don't know maybe maybe we just think
00:56:44
this is dumb this might feel like one of those things that just seems so simple but that confused the first one did not come out that long ago and it was
00:56:51
missing a million features that they said said they were going to add and didn't add and it seems like the only benefit of final C for iPad is to like
00:56:58
start putting Clips together on train so that when you get
00:57:03
home you can like then bring it into your MacBook but that that's a $5 a month subscription which is
00:57:11
insane I've spent worse for $5 a month I just see it as so useless like
00:57:18
well another thing they announced which was something we got excited for than we're promptly uh not excited about um
00:57:25
was Final Cut camera the Final Cut live cut camera which when they first said it it said you can live cut up to four
00:57:33
cameras so all of us were like can we live cut the podcast Now using an iPad
00:57:38
that sounds so cool but you have to install an app called Final Cut camera live I think or oh No Just Final Cut
00:57:45
camera and it's only on iPhones and iPads so you can switch between up to four cameras that are on iPhones or
00:57:51
iPads so this podcast will now be shot on all iphon no iPad we should all use
00:57:57
iPads iPad it's all it's one of each of our grandparents holding an iPad yeah all my grandparents are dead
00:58:04
mine too same nice so how many grandparents
00:58:10
do you have all four bit no I got three three that's all we need dude yeah three cameras bring them in yeah yeah bring
00:58:16
them in all right we're taking over the podcast me and my ancestors see this was so weird they they showed they were like
00:58:23
shooting this climbing video and they had three different or four different people with iPhones in cages like yeah
00:58:31
taking video and then they had one person on the iPad and they were basically live editing a video by
00:58:37
switching between the iPhone cameras when this showed on the screen everyone in the studio just turned and looked at
00:58:43
me and was was like can we do this on the podcast yeah this is just the dumbest thing ever it seems so over
00:58:50
engineered and I don't know this is like Apple's perfect world where they're like nobody will ever have a dedicated camera
00:58:57
ever anymore and everyone will use their iPhone for everything streaming though
00:59:03
but nobody uses four iPhones to do live streaming but you couldn't before now you can who cares well can you live
00:59:09
stream from the Final Cut app into like a service probably probably I mean even if it it didn't wasn't built into the
00:59:15
app you could just get a capture card and a dongle true I've been I I'll play Devil's Advocate a little bit with Ellis
00:59:22
if he's playing it with me but I think there's definitely scenario first of all if we want to always tell people go make
00:59:29
content with what you have and what you have is an iPhone it's hard to knock this because now you need four iPhones
00:59:36
and an iPad Pro yeah Fair a lot more it is more yeah it probably is more
00:59:42
expensive than a nice camera microphone I get it though because like when this was first announced I was like okay this
00:59:47
is kind of cool for like video podcasts because you could be like hey three friends come over with your iPhones just
00:59:53
set it up and we'll use the iPhones but again this isn't isn't a cheaper
00:59:58
alternative to something like you can already do that with free software and whatever iPhone you currently have so
01:00:05
it'll be easier and the way they were showing it off was like doing live cutting from the iPad and it's like are
01:00:11
you going to have a producer for your podcast where you live cut I think there's a scenario if I had to find the
01:00:17
scenario where I think this works best it's just that video is just like so important for any type of business in
01:00:24
marketing right now so if you're a smaller business that can't afford a production team or production equipment
01:00:30
or like even really social media manager maybe there's some way that you want to actually do some sort of online
01:00:35
marketing and chances are there's four iPhones in your work and if you can convince those people to connect them up
01:00:42
with final C camera you could probably do do some content like I had to dig for
01:00:47
that I don't a good point I don't love this thing that much I don't see me ever using it but I like I do think there is
01:00:53
some scenarios social media is just way too powerful these days it's some of the best marketing out there look look I'm going to play
01:00:59
Devil's Advocate 2 here Final Cut 2 Devil's Advocate for
01:01:06
iPad too but assuming and I know this is a big assumption gargant an assumption
01:01:12
just huge assumption okay but assuming this Final Cut camera for iPhone can
01:01:18
stream wirelessly to the iPad in 4k and you can have multiple 4K
01:01:24
streams how much how much do you think a standalone dedicated Hardware 4K
01:01:30
switcher would cost we've looked into this before Oh I know $229 I thought it was like 10 plus
01:01:37
thousand okay neither of you are even close that was hilarious uh it's about $1,800 for a 4K switcher um and then
01:01:45
probably another thousand for an actual controller to use it David was way closer than I relativ so for like the 2200 you're
01:01:53
Allin on a on a 4K switcher you could get almost a topof thee line iPad which
01:01:58
could do everything else too assuming it's 4K yeah my ultimate
01:02:04
question is would there be some way of us taking a professional camera with a video output as like an external monitor
01:02:10
into an iPhone and then the iPhone would be able to cast that into the iPad and then you could live switch I have a
01:02:16
feeling the answer is no but if it's yes dude that changes everything for dude
01:02:22
what honestly that would be so more iPhone sales now we to buy an iPhone for each one of our cameras no dude no no no
01:02:28
no we could literally dude we could throw out our terod deck and we could just use iPhones yeah yeah dude Wireless
01:02:36
dude you the the amount of headaches wireless video causes this studio like
01:02:41
if we could do what you just described that's the other question is what is the range of this wireless video to be fair
01:02:46
they were rock climbing and they were up on the wall and they he was live switching I know they never lie on those
01:02:51
uh yeah exactly yeah there there wasn't the scene where the the rock climber like goes to the the gym employee and is
01:02:57
like what's the Wi-Fi so I can so I can I can do my camera
01:03:03
switch I love rocks 2024 right that's what it is in every gym right it's like the it's the law it's almost all yeah
01:03:10
pretty much like I love where I am the year yeah exclamation point so yeah uh
01:03:16
anyway this Final Cut two for iPad to um they didn't really announce a lot of new
01:03:23
features for it which is the other thing that was weird barely talked about it they said that there was like the
01:03:28
instant scoping that's kind of all they talked about to be fair that if that
01:03:33
works like that is a fantastic and they should have just put it in F for iPad one not wrong um they also announced
01:03:39
Logic for iPad 2 or just Logic Pro 2 maybe maybe Pro for iPad 2 I don't know
01:03:45
I think it was just two LSD know I don't think so okay do you want to talk about
01:03:50
what they added to logic pro too they added uh they added a a bass guy and a
01:03:57
keyboard guy to compliment the drum guy people like the drum guy oh the drum guy was there already can you explain what
01:04:04
that is uh man like you did to me yesterday yeah so essentially like uh in
01:04:09
if you don't want to program drums in a track you're working on you can open up
01:04:15
this thing I think they call it the studio drummer I I don't use it for work here but um you have the sort of like
01:04:22
grid that has a bunch of parameters like an XY grid and then you tell it you know you place this little dot on and it'll
01:04:28
just like play drums along with your music and because it's Apple um all of
01:04:34
the different drummers have like names I can't remember what them but like if you want like the The Rock drummer you have
01:04:41
to like like choose Scott you know if you if you want like the dance drummer you choose you me the rock like the
01:04:47
Dwayne chots yeah like no what are yeah oh the like the pop rock is Kyle retro
01:04:54
rock is why hard rock is Anders um yeah so it's like this thing
01:05:00
and it it actually works well like it's tasteful drums it's it sounds real enough to like work used for a demo so
01:05:06
they've opened this up to Bass and keys when is it a set beat or something or is
01:05:12
it listening to what you've created and creates space on that well you're in logic pro already so logic knows the
01:05:19
tempo of your song Because when you're making music in a computer you're almost always locked to the grid so you've
01:05:24
already sent the tempo and knows that it's going to look at your midi and potentially your audio too and sort of
01:05:29
be like okay like this is a section he's got a bunch of instruments coming here that should probably be a fill right
01:05:35
here I believe you can also tell it to like switch like go to the high hats here and then you're you're giving it a
01:05:42
bunch of info like I want you to play Big fills I want you to play Simple quiet stuff um it's a cool feature uh
01:05:50
it's you know it I wasn't like this is the I've been waiting for the base guy you know
01:05:56
but um what is the situation on this on if you are producing that music and selling it or using it on YouTu material
01:06:04
no I don't think they take any there's no copyright like what are the chances it creates something extremely similar
01:06:10
as someone else and then can you copyright that music that's not really how music copyrights work you can't
01:06:16
disagree you can't as far as I'm aware you you can't really copyright uh a
01:06:22
specific Like Instrumental figure in a song you can copyright melodies for sure
01:06:28
um and that's sort of where drums are nice because they're inherently A melodic um I whether you know
01:06:35
like I don't know it feels like the the how many monkeys in a basement does it
01:06:41
take to type Shakespeare sort of thing like with the bass like maybe eventually someone will get a famous Baseline but
01:06:47
just like um Adam just Googled did Fort Minor
01:06:52
have to pay Apple did was there a fort minor song so basically Fort Miner
01:06:57
remember the name that song is an apple loop from garage band really like that's
01:07:03
just a loop so I'm trying to figure out if they had to pay for no no no loops loops have specific license agreements that you accept when you open the
01:07:09
software that make it like they're not they're royaltyfree you can use Loops the the big thing with loops and I know
01:07:16
we're getting way off topic I'm going to get to the other logic pro thing is that um you're not allowed to redistribute
01:07:21
them as Loops so you can't buy a loop pack and then sell those Loops as like
01:07:26
your original Loops you have to use them in in a song okay the other feature there's two two more two more I only
01:07:33
remember one the stem splitter yeah and there's the chroma glow toning oh my
01:07:38
God that was like okay let's do the stem splitter first stem splitter this is not new apps have been doing this for like
01:07:44
five or more years you give it a song and it gives you four audio files with all the different tracks I have no idea
01:07:51
I'm sure it works because other people have been making this work for years apple is probably the best audio company
01:07:57
on the planet so not surpr it's true we all know it's true sorry who else is
01:08:03
there someone was very upset that you said the airpods too dude I got so many
01:08:08
like comments like wow you should fire him like doesn't know anything about audio they sound really good and if you
01:08:15
don't believe me that they sound really good just like start researching the degree to which they're tuned more than
01:08:21
any other speaker you can buy like like if they don't sound good it's Millions hundreds of millions of dollars wasted
01:08:28
chill chill okay St splitter so yeah it probably works I don't know man like
01:08:36
cool I was I was like that's pretty cool the chromag glow yeah that really
01:08:41
confused me because they did the classic apple thing where they were like oh this is going to change everything um get
01:08:49
ready but like I really didn't understand like what made it like
01:08:56
is it not just a harmonic saturator do anything the marketing says
01:09:03
uh chromag glow models the sound produced by a blend of the world's most revered Studio Hardware by leveraging Ai
01:09:10
and the power of M series Apple silicon users can dial in the perfect tone with five different saturation styles to add
01:09:17
ultra realistic warmth presence and punch to any track they can also choose from Modern clean sounds nostalgic
01:09:23
vintage warmth or more Extreme Styles that can be shaped and molded to taste I have two can we start a timer twom
01:09:29
minute explanation of this ready wait hold on I got to actually set the timer
01:09:34
yeah if you don't want to hear this just skip ahead minutes skip ahead two minutes okay so people think old audio gear tends to sound better than new
01:09:41
audio gear and the reason that is is because old audio gear has this thing that's called nonlinearity as you
01:09:46
approach the loudest you can get the loudness doesn't happen across all frequencies at the same rate typically
01:09:53
the lower frequencies tend to come out more and this is due to this Pro process called harmonic saturation think about
01:09:59
one single frequency a single sine wave and then you add these little Speckles of spine wave sine waves in these
01:10:05
mathematical orientations up the frequency band and your ears just hear it as like one warm nice sound if you
01:10:11
add a lot of saturation it stops sounding like saturation and it starts sounding like Distortion clipping like
01:10:18
real audio clipping is typically there you go clipping is
01:10:24
typically the most EXT ex form of saturation where there's so many harmonics that the waves are actually getting cut off okay so typically the
01:10:30
way these things work is they're effectively giant audio Luts you take an old piece of gear you run every
01:10:36
frequency at every volume through it and you make this giant lookup table of input to output and then you can recreate that
01:10:43
digitally I would hope since they're shoving the word AI down our throats every 5 seconds in this stupid that
01:10:51
they're using an AI to somehow more smoothly and cleanly get around and
01:10:56
through those lookup tables I don't know maybe they're using AI to blend those lookup tables maybe they're not using AI
01:11:03
at all and they're just doing what other audio companies have been doing for like 10 years now yeah who knows my take is
01:11:09
that it's just my two minutes AR up yeah 30 seconds was I excited that apple is
01:11:15
introducing a harmonic saturator not really like I have tons of killer harmonic saturators that don't claim to
01:11:21
use AI already in my my my workflow and also uh I'm not really making music here
01:11:27
that often so I don't use them very much so uh I got a big nope on this one but
01:11:32
if anyone can explain to me why it should be a dope I'll take
01:11:38
it time's up nice all right sorry David my take is that it's just machine
01:11:44
learning that they've been doing forever and they are starting to reformat the whenever they say m they used to just
01:11:50
say ml they are now just starting to say AI because their services businesses are doing badly and their stock was not
01:11:56
doing as well as they hoped and they figure they can juice the stock if they just start saying AI even if it's just
01:12:02
regular machine learning in my humblest opinion if you are not using
01:12:08
Transformers um just call it machine learning but that's just me
01:12:15
okay cool one more thing oh I do have I do have well so I just looked it up um
01:12:23
it is final it is Logic Pro for iPad 2 right but not Logic
01:12:28
Pro 2 no no but they are updating logic pro to be called logic pro
01:12:36
11 on on like mac is it 10 now yeah yeah wasn't Final Cut Pro 10 yeah yeah so
01:12:43
it's being updated to logic pro 11 which will be a free update for people who already have logic pro or you can still
01:12:49
buy it for the uh $300 or $200 $200 one time fee or their free trial lasts
01:12:57
forever so not literally forever but like a long time okay but you can also
01:13:02
pay the $5 a month uh on the iPad just like Final Cut which
01:13:08
um terrible I'm I'm so over subscription fees anyway uh yeah so those were the
01:13:14
three new apps that they introduced last thing and I promise we'll get to trivia pretty soon but they also introduced an
01:13:20
apple pencil Pro which you know it was bound to happen just another one on the
01:13:25
most confusing lineup possible yes like you've looked the apple pencil lineup is
01:13:31
absurd it makes no sense yeah so previously they had like a tap gesture that you could do to switch things now
01:13:38
you can squeeze the pencil which brings up uh a tool palette they also put haptics in the butt of the pencil to
01:13:45
vibrate when you're doing things so that you're supposed to have haptic interactions I'm interested in how
01:13:50
natural that feels considering the haptic motor is in the back of the pencil but that should be interesting
01:13:55
um also they introduced a gyroscope so you can change the orientation of your brush which I think is very cool yeah I
01:14:03
think it changes orientation and also when you're doing it looked like I think in Hover you can rotate it to select
01:14:08
different things in this cool little menu there's a lot of stuff on this apple pencil Pro I make fun of the lineup but this pencil is really cool
01:14:14
and does a lot of cool stuff add adding like a z Axis or a turning axes of orientation for interaction I think is
01:14:21
very cool yeah um I can't wait to get it so I can continue drawing smiley faces and stick figures dude this to me this
01:14:27
is like watching this it reminds me of a GoPro like a GoPro marketing when I watch it I'm like that is the coolest
01:14:33
thing ever I could be that cool and then I buy it and I'm going four miles an hour down a skate slope and the pencil
01:14:38
is like I want that but I can't draw at all so what would I ever use yeah I
01:14:43
think for artists that draw an iPad It's cool cuz there are certain brushes that are like kind of just flat lines and
01:14:49
they have this stroke and so now that you have the orientation you can like change the orientation when you start
01:14:55
the stroke yeah um the hover thing to select layers was pretty cool too mhm uh
01:15:00
and then they worked with what is the procreate they worked with procreate to talk about like all the ways that
01:15:06
they're using it because they're going to have an API for the gyroscope in the pencil which is interesting and procreate has this new animation app
01:15:13
called procreate dreams where you can pull in a bunch of procreate assets and like create insanely simple animations
01:15:19
and they were showing how you could be playing back the video and moving things in the video and turning the pencil
01:15:25
which would rotate the objects and when you say simple you mean simple to do like they're Ultra complex animations
01:15:32
that you can do but you can do them in an extremely simple way right it's like simple key framing which is cool um yeah
01:15:39
so I think I I actually think the apple pencil Pro is one of the coolest updates to this entire thing to everything
01:15:45
that's coming out um but that's going to be 129 it does work with the M2 iPad Air
01:15:51
as well as the M4 iPad Pro however only those two models because they moved
01:15:57
where the magnet array is for charging and apparently had to change the magnet array I don't know if I completely buy
01:16:02
that I mean it's more of an excuse than just the like what every tech company does it's like new product new feature
01:16:09
you ain't getting it on the old ones so at least there is somewhat of a hardware difference on why it needs to and the
01:16:14
the magnet array changed because of where they move the camera yeah yeah so
01:16:20
yeah 129 that was basically the Apple event um you can pretty much pre-order
01:16:25
everything right now uh if you want to you can pre-order it get it soon and then get the rest of the features
01:16:32
sometime in the summer and then remember that the iPad doesn't do anything so
01:16:37
yeah you can spend a bunch of money and then watch Netflix I every time an iPad comes out I want to buy one and I
01:16:42
realize I will only use it to watch movies on yeah it's just like why speaking of iPad things we forgot the
01:16:49
most important thing which is the sneakers that Tim Cook was wearing right were freaking dope
01:16:55
me and Alex designed on an IP well yeah they were designed by an IP which came out after but Alex and I were trying to figure it out after the event like what
01:17:02
sneakers are those and we just like really couldn't find them they're apparently Nike Air Max 1's 86s that
01:17:07
were designed on iPad I just want to say sneakers app one because they only made
01:17:13
one no no no no no they tell you they made one oh I'm telling Apple they need
01:17:18
to make more how do you design something from 86 wait for it wait hold on hold
01:17:26
on oh nice that was kind of a real question is just like that's the like
01:17:31
generation style I think it's the model I guess yeah yeah cool Tim so yeah that's the Apple event um we'll do a
01:17:39
quick trivia and AD break and then when we come back we will talk about the new pixel AA because there's so much
01:17:44
Hardware this week um but first let's do [Music]
01:17:50
trivia trivia dude so second question how many times times did Apple say AI
01:17:56
during the iPad event all right that's it think over break
01:18:03
okay nice all right we'll be right [Music]
01:18:15
back support for waveform comes from one password our brain loves a pattern so coming up with random passwords every
01:18:21
time we need one isn't really where we shine unless of course you're someone who doesn't really care and you've cycled through a handful of passwords
01:18:27
since high school and if that's you then you don't need me to tell you that that's a terrible habit you already know
01:18:33
it might be time to get a password manager personally I use one password because remembering passwords is the
01:18:39
worst we've all been there you either have one password for everything that isn't secure or you have multiple
01:18:44
passwords which is impossible to remember and even if you do either of those now you have to change your password every few months and I wind up
01:18:51
resetting my password more often than just actually remembering it and one password totally eliminates that issue
01:18:57
while being extremely secure no more using your high school lunch number for your bank password I know this was part
01:19:03
of their script but I legit Ed my old high school computer login for years as a password uh one password generates as
01:19:10
many strong unique passwords as you need and securely stores them in an encrypted Vault that only you have access to so
01:19:16
you FYI just need to remember one strong account password that protects everything else right now listeners get

form support for this episode of waveform comes from Shopify let's say you run a business it doesn't really
01:19:41

01:20:43
form all right welcome back the iPads clearly were not the only piece of Hardware we had to talk about this week
01:20:49
we also got to talk about the pixel 8A which has been long rumored is finally
01:20:54
here you can pre-order it now um awkward device that's that's the beginning of my
01:21:01
dissertation on what do you mean it's so cool they change so much yeah uh it's
01:21:08
basically a pixel 8 with a slightly smaller display um rounder rounder it's
01:21:13
definitely more round SpongeBob vibe that was the best reference in the marquez's video yeah so it's got a 6.1
01:21:20
in display uh it is now 120 htz which is nice Dynamic right Dynamic yeah because
01:21:27
the F the 7 a was 90 so it's nice to get
01:21:32
120 but again it's Dynamic and there's only two options there's 60 HZ static or dynamic up to 120 so you know that's
01:21:39
what you get 40% brighter display which I think is a big deal it's nice that all the device manufacturers in the last
01:21:46
couple years have been jacking up the brightness of things for sure so this gets up to 1400 nits or 2,000 nits Peak
01:21:52
which is very nice you get basically all of the AI features that you get in all the Google phones which is really cool
01:21:58
this is the first a series device with Gemini Nano on it um which is cool they
01:22:05
slightly bumped the battery to to about 4500 milliamp hours um which is a
01:22:11
extremely slight bump just about 4,400 Million poers last year 45 looks better
01:22:17
yeah yeah uh it has wireless charging up to 7.5 Watts which is pretty slow there
01:22:23
are two new colors there is aloe which is based on aloe vera for those that don't know it is a plant that you can
01:22:30
you can scrape the plant and you get like a gel that you can put on sunburns and it's good for your sunburns you can
01:22:36
also eat it uh I'm or drink it I'm not telling you that don't do that right now
01:22:41
just in case you're not supposed to I'm pretty sure you can but I'm not going to tell you the there is an aloe vera drink there's an aloe vera drink that I used
01:22:47
to drink all the time from my co-op in the middle of the forest and it was
01:22:52
delicious you should go try it if you have an opportunity I feel like and the well the other color is blue and to jump
01:22:57
in here I feel like oh B yeah the two colors should have been aloe and ver the
01:23:03
aloe gel because sometimes there's that gel you can buy for Suns after you get sunburned and is like this weirdo blue
01:23:10
color container yeah so like it could have been both they both could have been aloe yeah which is cool yeah um so the
01:23:17
awkward thing about the pixel AA is that is $500 the pixel 8 literally up until the
01:23:25
day of the pixel AA announcement was 550 on sale and it had been for a very long
01:23:31
time it has gone down as low as $500 on sale so the only benefit you're getting
01:23:38
to getting the a device is that you still get the seven years of software updates so technically this device is 6
01:23:45
months newer so you might get another software update would you argue that
01:23:50
like you're probably better off longevity wise of having the upgraded hardware and that lasting better yeah I
01:23:58
yeah the hardware is not that much better that's the no no I'm saying like getting the old the eight yeah I know is
01:24:03
that okay yeah the hardware of the eight is like you got a slightly brighter display um you've got glass this one's
01:24:11
plastic so that you know that's a difference technically you got bigger camera sensors you got faster charging
01:24:17
and wireless charg actually yeah there's a lot of better stuff in the eight so if
01:24:22
the eight goes back down in price to 550 which it probably will within a month when everybody forgets about the the 8 a
01:24:29
just get the eight like just get and the pixel 99's coming out in October which is only five months away now so well
01:24:36
wait question for you guys so when the eight inevitably goes down again do you think the 8A will go on sale no you
01:24:43
don't think it'll go down to like 4 350 right now if you pre-order the AA you get $100 in Google credit Google store
01:24:51
credit which is worthless so yeah which is worthless
01:24:56
pixel yeah yeah it's just a weird release like I've always thought the a is a weird release I think they should
01:25:03
all just be in the same lineup it makes more sense it's also weird that we go I guess it makes sense 8 a n but like it
01:25:10
almost always feels like by the time we're talking about the a version we're also looking forward to the nine which
01:25:15
is a totally different uh like in the year you get an eight and a nine I don't know I just think it's confusing it's
01:25:22
confusing I agree um but technically that's available now but just just by
01:25:28
the eight just by the eight just by the eight I think that was the title of our video too was just at the eight I think
01:25:34
yeah so um anyway that's a thing I have I have one more thing a question or an
01:25:40
idea I had over the weekend that I want to post everyone before we wrap up the podcast no cool we'll be back next week
01:25:47
thanks you uh this is turning into a thing at end of every episode it's just like Andrew's thought Corner that's too
01:25:54
much pressure for me but make some music for it I like that if you make music for
01:25:59
it maybe I'll keep posing using an iPad with Kyle the drummer um okay so I had a road trip up
01:26:07
to Boston and I like I love Android uh Auto and I was using my maps on the way
01:26:13
back home and we were trying to find a Coffee Spot and I hate how it like will
01:26:19
show you restaurants or stuff that you want inside of Google Maps like it's kind of cool how it's like this is along
01:26:24
route this is how much of a detour it's going to add but it feels super limited I've done ones where I've been like I
01:26:29
just all I want is breakfast that is in a Drive-Thru that I don't have to get out of my car to get but I'll type in
01:26:35
restaurants and it'll just show me every restaurant including ones that are like closed maybe not I don't know but so I
01:26:40
think Google Maps or Apple Maps or ways would be the best place for like some sort of voice activated AI chatbot large
01:26:48
language model where like in my car I can be like find me a restaurant within
01:26:53
the next 40 minutes of driving that doesn't add more than 20 minutes to my route that has a drive through like
01:26:59
there's so many things are there that like you can be like hey find me a restaurant and I'll bring you to one in
01:27:05
like a mall and you're like I'm on a road trip right now I don't want to go into a mall to pick up my food so if I
01:27:11
could be way more specific about what I want like along the highway or a rest stop or like I want this type of food or
01:27:18
if it has coffee that's not a chain like I think all of those things are things that you could wrap into a suggestion
01:27:24
based especially along a route and understanding all the context to me that feels like it would be the best spot
01:27:30
that I would want this in right now what if I told you Google IO is in like three
01:27:35
weeks and I bet that'll be there it's in one week is it in one week oh my God next week is the Google it'll be there
01:27:42
and it'll release with the chain link fence detection no I like good idea that was
01:27:49
just a I I feel like think about things you want to stop at quickly on your way somewhere and specific you're thinking
01:27:55
CU you're not just thinking I want coffee you're probably like I want a decent coffee but I'm not willing to
01:28:01
wait over an hour for that decent coffee so then I'll settle for something and I don't want it to add 20 minutes onto
01:28:07
your how long have you added an hour onto your ride because like you went a little farther for Taco Bell more times
01:28:13
than I can count good God it's not always great at really actually picking on your route I
01:28:20
don't know can I can I do the New York version of that sure like like I want it I want to I want it to
01:28:27
know me maybe even plug it into like my budgeting apps and if I'm looking for coffee I want it to set like a hard
01:28:33
price limit you know what I mean it's so easy to be in New York and like go get a great cup of coffee that's like
01:28:41
$9 that sucks I think with breakfast also where restaurants will only serve breakfast to a certain time if I say I
01:28:48
want breakfast drive-thru and it's 10:00 don't suggest me something that's 45 minutes away because breakfast will be
01:28:54
closed by then yeah I think the problem with this though is that it requires Google Maps to be
01:29:00
accurate yeah that's what I was going to say is it needs it needs like this metadata of locations about the things
01:29:08
that they offer and like when they Chang all the time are those things not available online though they probably
01:29:15
are so you'd have to have Google like scrape the menu page I want them to do that scraping the menu page is exactly
01:29:22
what I want what if I'm like I want a bacon egg and cheese and an ice latte at a drive-thru within the next 30 minutes
01:29:28
and then it could show me where that is but all the best places don't have like a menu website it's like you have to
01:29:34
click on their store look at the pictures and some three years ago took a picture of the menu SC them have menu
01:29:40
websites they should a lot of them have it I don't know well if they don't have it then they're not getting suggested
01:29:46
and losing business I do I will say Google Maps really needs to change the default view to open now because I
01:29:53
always have to hit the open now button and it knocks out 34 of the available
01:29:58
restaurants what is oh open like that it's open got yeah because like if you
01:30:04
want to go somewhere at like 8:00 p.m. I'll be like food near me and it shows all this food and then I like click on a
01:30:10
thing it's like closed like cool I have it saying like this closes at 9 and your
01:30:16
ETA is very close to that like are you sure you still want go here okay but when you're in theele closed it still it
01:30:22
still offers it to you and then when you click on it it's like oh but it's and then you have to go back and find something else yeah yeah so there's an
01:30:28
open now toggle that you have that you can hit and AI have you heard of AI oh my God have you I don't know if we've
01:30:36
talked about it this episode feels like AI could change that you know who invented the Transformer by any chance
01:30:41
yeah it was Google well so they should do it that was my thought thought experiment let's get to the trivia
01:30:49
questions and see how we do by my beautiful lights don't work I
01:30:56
have to fix them I don't understand
01:31:01
why trivia I'll get around to it all right all right guys so earlier in the
01:31:06
episode we introduced the viewers to a very cool futuristic concept called an electropermanent
01:31:12
magnet we have a device we've got multiple of a single device in this very
01:31:18
Studio that features an electropermanent magnet what is it
01:31:26
I have like one obvious answer but I don't think it's that it's not the floating shoe that's what I was thinking
01:31:32
there you go I wish I didn't say that so I could have just put the floating shoe and then
01:31:38
I don't even know what to Google album archive yeah because remember whenever the power goes off the floating shoe
01:31:43
always falls conversational actions oh yeah true cuz you know how in your house you know that the power went out in the
01:31:48
middle of the night microwave is blinking when you wake up but like for us it's like we walk in and the SHO on
01:31:54
the ground that's how you know that the power went out all right what'd you put all right I put standing desks I put mag
01:32:03
safe charger which I know is wrong but it's a magnet it is a magnet the correct answer is the scroll wheel in the
01:32:10
Logitech mxm 3 when you toggle it from its stepped to free free flowing uh
01:32:17
modes you're right we do have a lot of those that is an electropermanent magnet wow that scroll wheel is fantastic
01:32:24
wow it's great trivia question that is a great great question do you think Marquez would have gotten that right no no we'll find out because he's going to
01:32:31
get this question uh Final Answer Final Answer mag safe Puck it is incorrect the
01:32:37
correct answer is the mxm 3 the scoll wheel is wow that's crazy
01:32:46
cool speaking of magnets really quickly uh I had a a viewer email me because we
01:32:51
talked about how it would be nice if the mag safe Chargers could like be
01:32:57
reversible M there's a product available on Amazon Germany that is not available
01:33:03
on Amazon us that is a MAG safe charger that charges your phone but it has a little additional thing on the back that
01:33:09
is another mag safe charger that can charge your like watch or airpods oh so
01:33:14
you plug in a cable to the little puck it slaps on the back of your phone and charges your phone and you can also put
01:33:20
your like airpods on top of it which is so your phone needs to be faced down
01:33:26
