00:00:00
I have tried to upload a video from the browser to Twitter every week for three months it doesn't work it still doesn't work so how do you do you do it from
00:00:10
your phone so I airdrop it to my phone and up upload it from my phone dang and then I copy and paste whatever I was
00:00:15
going to use as a caption from the desktop to the phone how does Mr Beast do it with his full videos honestly I
00:00:21
don't know 12 people I tried in Safari Chrome and Arc it's just broken as hell dang have you tried Modzilla I have not
00:00:28
yo just saying the Firefox love from last episode fantastic although all of them feel very good about Firefox for probably real reasons when mine is just like I don't want to change and I don't
00:00:40
really know why I I don't know man I kind of like [Music] it what is up people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast we're all back we're
00:00:54
your hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew and I'm David all three of us in the same space at the same time wow it's been a minute uh today's episode we are
00:01:01
bringing back the wish lists we've done this previously I forgot how many episodes ago we did this but we have
00:01:07
something that we like a lot but we want one thing to be different about and boy do we have a lot or something that we
00:01:13
don't like because it needs one thing yeah and we got a bunch of suggestions from you guys as well that we're going to go over and maybe like rate them a
00:01:19
little or rank them we'll see we'll get there uh but before that we got a couple quick hits from news because there wasn't no news we can't just go right
00:01:26
into the fun part of the Pod we got to dissect some of the some of the crazy things that happened in the news in the
00:01:31
week since our last podcast what happened I found a fun little app while reading the Verge that I just want
00:01:38
thought was funny and wanted to shout out it's called banana bin did any of you guys see this I did I thought this
00:01:43
was so cool it's basically a program that you can put on Mac OS where if you're always forget to empty your trash
00:01:50
can it's a little animation where you can set it into three different modes between 10 megabytes 1 GB or 10 GB and
00:01:57
if the trash can reaches that level then these flies start flying around the trash can on the bottom just to remind
00:02:03
you that it's probably time to entty your trash because it's rotting down there I love this I love that there are
00:02:09
three there are names for these modes 10 megabyte Max is janitor mode you're always cleaning up you're on top of your
00:02:15
stuff one gigabyte Max okay you're the recycler you know you got a bunch of G docs in there but don't worry about that but then you get some big files uh 10 gab Max is the garbage hoarder o not
00:02:27
looking at anybody middle school kids bedro yeah there's a lot of stuff in your trash can there's some flies around it I
00:02:33
definitely fluctuate between garbage hoarder and the minimalist that first one 10 gigs in our world of media is
00:02:41
probably very easy to have on your trash I bet all of us at some point in the last month have had more than 10 gigs in
00:02:47
our trash caname I am both I obsessively empty the trash every day and you still
00:02:53
but it regularly has hundreds of gigs of stuff in it that's why you need to empty it every day exactly yeah last no two
00:03:01
weeks ago I checked my trash and I had well over a terabyte I had closer to two terabytes than one terabyte inash that's just taking up space on your drive well not until I not after I hit the empty
00:03:13
but terab I feel like dude that's like that's like three seconds of red raw yeah true you know I was going to say banana bin needs something for that where if it's like a terabyte like an
00:03:26
tentacle like comes out and starts reaching around like please God yeah that's another level wait there's a
00:03:32
weird behavior and I I don't know if it's just Mac OS but if you have an SD card for example and you pull a bunch of
00:03:39
things off the SD card and delete them they go to the recycling bin and then you eject the SD card all of that stuff
00:03:46
in the recycling bin stays there but becomes invisible when you eject the card and it still takes up space on my
00:03:53
drive and when I plug the SD card back in it says it's empty but I can't put anything on it because it's still full because the stuff that's in my recycling bin is still taking up space has anybody
00:04:04
else had this problem linked to it it's like linked to it and until I empty my trash I can't put anything on the drive
00:04:11
that's really annoying it's very annoying I've seen something like that before and I don't know why but also in this article from The Verge about this
00:04:17
they said like it doesn't work quite well when you have drives coming in I'm assuming because it gets confused with
00:04:23
how that's all working and not knowing how much is like in there versus yeah I don't know know but it's a it's a free app I think you have to like sign up you have to email them right now and they
00:04:34
are going to charge a little bit in the future but I just thought it was funny I'd pay a couple bucks for that yeah
00:04:41
I'll continue obsessively emptying my trash yeah I want to point out that my trash can is currently empty same no
00:04:47
flies here no fly zone I was gonna say the same thing great minds okay what is this
00:04:53
Instagram AI thing because this has been getting a lot of attention okie dokie here we go so
00:05:00
a while ago is this big of a deal I think I I wrote this down in here and then I think I had the tab open I was like David will have plenty to say about this yeah yeah um it all starts with
00:05:11
Sputnik 1986 so a number of months ago when Dolly came out and all of these AI image generators started to get more popular and Adobe started coming out with firefly and all this stuff a bunch
00:05:23
of these platform started to be like oh we kind of have some sort of responsibility to show users what is AI and what is not
00:05:31
AI yeah so Instagram owned by meta who also has an AI image generator and therefore has even more of a responsibility to somehow tag things as AI just decided that on Instagram they
00:05:45
were going to uh basically like look at the metadata of images that were uploaded and if there was like traces of
00:05:52
this was AI generated then we're going to tag it as such the problem is that uh Adobe in also an effort to tag things as AI because they also offer an AI image
00:06:06
generation platform now puts like all the this kind of metadata inside of exported images for many different functions in
00:06:17
Photoshop so in my opinion this should only be added to the metadata if you like fully generate an image but they're
00:06:25
putting the that in the metadata for generative fill for I don't know resizing for for some reason liquefy
00:06:32
tool it's kind of unclear it's kind of unclear like what they added it for all I know is that a number of my friends
00:06:39
who are specifically film photographers have been getting the made with AI tag stamped on their photos M which are you know cuz they just made basic edits in
00:06:51
Lightroom because everyone edits their pictures but they have told me that they didn't even use any of the like new AI
00:06:58
features like generative fil or any of this kind of stuff but for some reason Adobe is so hellbent on making sure that
00:07:04
there's some sort of tag in the metadata that they are still labeling this as made with AI M and the Instagram tag for an AI generated image or whatever is
00:07:16
just made with AI which obviously causes a ton of confusion because if if you just did some basic color adjustments
00:07:23
and edits and then it got tagged made with AI it's like no the image was not made with AI maybe there was it was made
00:07:30
with you know how it's like includes 100% juice made with apple juice made with AI but it wasn't made with AI yeah yeah it should be like includes some AI
00:07:41
edits or something yeah anyway a lot of people got very pissed at this because it was basically causing misinformation a lot of my photographer friends were like I did not make this with they I
00:07:52
don't know what you're talking about um and so Instagram has now swapped out the tag doesn't make it a lot better now it
00:08:00
just has a little tag that says AI info and then you click on it and it gives a little description of like here's the
00:08:07
reasons that we tagged this AI info and it could have been used with generative fill or it could have been made as a as
00:08:13
a model as an image generation model um yeah so I don't know they swapped it out
00:08:19
it's better than made with AI but it's still pretty frustrating because again I've had friends that literally just
00:08:26
used the crop tool and now it says made with a and so the only way to seemingly get
00:08:32
around this if you're using an adobe product to edit your photos is to like take a screenshot of your pictures and
00:08:38
then upload that to Instagram which is very frustrating it sounds insane to us but You' be shocked how many people do
00:08:44
that I think it's frustrating but like it's airing on the side of caution because I'd much rather have a lot of
00:08:50
people see some photos that aren't edited with AI and be like maybe there are AI then nothing being labeled at all and then a bunch of AI created
00:09:01
misinformation photos with no warnings at all yeah like I think that's the far more dangerous thing than being like oh
00:09:08
this isn't a real photo yeah I mean it's even worse on Facebook obiously it's worse I the first thing I saw with this
00:09:14
is like this needs to be on Facebook because Facebook is just just all AI generated like rage bait content which is surp it's surprising to me that they have this on Instagram and not Facebook
00:09:25
because it's a way worse problem on Facebook it is yeah yeah I it's also like there's a tag but is there also some distribution change associated with it and maybe they won't tell us but like
00:09:37
if if your Instagram and you've identified an image as made by AI do you then not share it as widely oh I don't
00:09:45
know I don't I think they would probably tell us the answer yeah not sure not sure but that would be annoying if you're a photographer who crops her
00:09:51
photo and suddenly you're getting restricted because he cropped it exactly yeah yeah and just having a tag that's
00:09:58
like this was made with when you've been like sharing images for years and it sucks to have that tag I think it sounds
00:10:03
like Adobe needs to do a better job at the metadata provided in there cuz like I I UND cropping color correction
00:10:11
whatever none of that should ever be anywhere close to AI where's the line that's the hard part because you can't
00:10:17
say you can't say completely made with AI because you can have a photo and then have sections of a photo that are like AI generated inside from the background should it say made with AI this is a
00:10:30
hard eded with AI or includes AI elements might be better I guess my only worry with that is is then like when it is somebody trying to create something Majora ofely made of AI because it's
00:10:42
fake how do they skirt around that and be like oh well yeah it's just part of it's edited with AI when really they're
00:10:49
the ones trying to cause harm and actually it's a it's complex because like they have they've had content to Weare fill for a really long time and now they add a generative fill and most
00:11:02
people use generative fill just as a better version of content to wear fill but you can add wholly new elements to
00:11:10
the photo if you type in a description but otherwise it's just a better version of content to where fill so like is
00:11:15
content to Weare fill not AI but generative fill is AI even if you don't if you use it for the same thing yeah if
00:11:21
you use it for the same thing fill on some trees behind something you erased yeah or like it's usually like getting
00:11:27
rid of uh some dust spots or your film I don't know but what's funny is like it seems like they're leaning the cautious way but then like you said not putting it on Facebook where it's
00:11:38
being so much worse it's so much worse which is crazy if you're going to be cautious be cautious where you need to
00:11:45
be cautious I don't just all of this kind of sucks and it's another thing that sucks for the people who use things responsibly because of the people who use things responsibly yeah yep it's
00:11:58
always got ruin it for the rest of us yeah Marquez when you were like where should the line be and it made me think
00:12:04
about this sort of fun fact that uh is if you are an actual historian please and add more details in the comments cuz I know this is like I'm going to gloss over a lot here but there's a lot of
00:12:15
really famous pictures of Abraham Lincoln that are completely doctored like his head superimposed on other people's bodies because his body was so weird and these pictures are like all
00:12:27
over history textbooks and like hanging in the white house and stuff like that so even before AI things have been even
00:12:34
before Photoshop or the computer or like I don't I guess electricity was a thing but um stuff has been seriously I mean
00:12:43
it used to be paintings before that and an artist could paint someone however they
00:12:49
wanted yeah this is a true what is a photo yeah well when Mark I said that before I was like quick quick move on
00:12:55
move on we don't need to get into the photo maybe we can just link the what is a photo
00:13:00
that now if you have a 8 hour car ride yeah I also want to say I totally I'm not trying to say this doesn't suck for photographers I just get the both sides of it but this sucks when you take a
00:13:13
real photo and yeah now it says AI made I get it like there's so many so many things that are just being flooded with AI slop like uh even adobe's own they
00:13:25
have this uh image section where you can like if you have a license with Adobe you can download different stock images Adobe stock is what it's called and now more than half of it is just AI
00:13:36
generated images wow and they all look like garbage and there's no way to filter it out and they all have really
00:13:42
garbled text that you can't see anything because they had this thing where like you could use Adobe Firefly to generate
00:13:48
an image and then you could put it on Adobe stock and sell it m so that became like the Drop Shipping of the 2024 just I just generated thousands of images and
00:13:59
listed them all for a dollar and people might buy them except they're like $60 Jesus yeah I think Adobe stock too has
00:14:05
to be approved don't they you have to like submit it if they have to be approved then they're not doing a very good job of figuring out what's good and
00:14:11
what's not cuz most of that stuff you liter there are there's text on it that is illegible or like has random letters
00:14:17
and it's really really bad and there's no way to filter it out so in so many ways like all of this AI stuff is just like clogging the internet in so many
00:14:27
formats and I feel like I don't know and we do need to do that dead internet Theory episode because this is a major
00:14:33
part of it yeah yeah in their defense though to play Devil's Advocate if I was Adobe I would 100% be doing the same
00:14:40
thing everything is getting slapped with that metadata that AI yeah like I'm not taking any chances you're not going to
00:14:46
blame me on this the other funny thing about it though is like the people who would actually see those tags and care
00:14:52
about them are probably the ones who are getting it tagged on them when they're not using it and then the people who are
00:14:57
dumb enough to believe all of that are are just not seeing that tag at all so yeah everything sucks everything sucks
00:15:04
everything's broken now that we're depressed speaking of AI changing a lot of stuff more AI Google AI what a great
00:15:13
segue yeah Google AI so there is a little new exclusive piece from Andre Authority we'll link it below uh sort of
00:15:20
detailing everything we're expecting with pixel 9 and Google deciding to Umbrella everything together into a bucket called Google AI that includes some existing features we've already
00:15:32
seen and has some new features uh and that will all probably be announced alongside pixel 9 in a couple weeks I
00:15:39
think this makes a lot of sense I made an entire video pretty recently called AI as a feature versus AI as a product
00:15:45
this is very much AI as a feature we're just giving you a bunch of features on your phone and so it looks like this
00:15:52
basically uh Circle to search will be inside of Google AI because that's basically what's happening it's recognizing the image searching it using semantics figuring out what you're looking for giving you results Great
00:16:04
super useful there's a new one though called add me and we're not really sure how it works but the text says make sure everyone's included in a group photo which could be as creepy or as regular
00:16:17
as you're imagining it right who knows right I was wondering there's there's two ways this could go yeah wait there's
00:16:24
two ways this could out we're very unclear of what this actually means but Google has done so some really creepy
00:16:29
stuff in the past with image uh editing so the creepier way that this could go is say like you're with your friends somebody has to take the picture so yo
00:16:40
Photoshop me in yeah I got you exactly so no no I don't want the AI tag on instagram the craziest kind of creepy thing would be if you if you took the photo and it also took a photo with the
00:16:51
front-facing camera and then somehow created your body AI creates your body stitches you that's probably not going to happen but also I've seen crazier things it's
00:17:04
Google I was the defender of the face swap thing um the best shot the best shot face swap is so much better of a name for that that's what's happen um but like so my guess on this would be
00:17:17
like you take a group photo but it sees that in the Gen the groups of photos you took that day in that location had
00:17:23
someone else then would it be like oh this should this person be in included in the group and squeeze them over and I
00:17:31
defended face swap that's weird I get what you're saying we're adding whole new people to things you're like that's
00:17:37
my line yeah I get yeah okay you're on a hike with five people one guy's got the pixel he's been taking the group shots
00:17:42
of five people over and over again and then been there right and then at the end of the hike he takes like three or four pictures where they're actually in it but it's not all six people obviously
00:17:53
and Google goes ah I can make sure everyone's in the picture and then just you know morphs together one giant group
00:17:59
photo and you're like oh okay now I have a photo of an image of a moment that never really happened but maybe that's useful because now we're all the group photo and I'm just picturing like you
00:18:11
got photob bombed a couple times and then they picture like they just add the photo bomber to all your pictures and you're like what's going on yeah yeah
00:18:18
could go wrong could could be creepy another option I could see is you're taking a photo with the regular camera
00:18:26
and one of the people in the group photo is like slightly cropped out of it because you're trying to cram everybody
00:18:31
in maybe it takes a photo with the wide angle camera and the main camera and then it magic erasers moves or magic
00:18:40
edits moves them into the image so that they're all in the frame that'd be my guess cuz that could I could actually
00:18:47
see that happening MH feel like that could I see how that makes sense possible the name ad me sounds like
00:18:53
we're adding something that's not yeah add me add me yeah the name to the picture it's like when someone someone's taking the picture they're like yo add me to that picture like literally add me to the picture I think it's going to be
00:19:04
someone who's completely not in the picture what is a I don't know this is so weird but yeah it's in there that's
00:19:10
under the umbrella of Google AI uh but there are a couple more another one is called screenshots and the text reads
00:19:17
find the info you need from your screenshots which obviously if you already have screenshots you can search
00:19:22
through them with Google photos but I think a lot of people like me uh take a lot of screenshots just to remember things and people have called this like
00:19:29
the Microsoft recall of Android but without unne it's not just constantly looking at what you're doing it's only
00:19:35
with screenshots you take yeah so boarding passes uh whatever you probably take screenshots of useful things need to remember this is going to be a nice little tool to help find the info in those screenshots kind of doesn't seem
00:19:48
that different from what happens in photos but we'll see yeah it sounds like the exact same thing I don't know that people are speculating that they're
00:19:53
going to add like special metadata to the screenshots based on the text and make it easier to index se but for some
00:20:00
reason you can already do a lot of that semantic searching in Google photos so indexed already yeah but I'm
00:20:07
very great very curious what that means I just found something on my phone yesterday I think that archives
00:20:14
screenshots after 30 days now and it's the best thing ever which is good if you never need that information again you
00:20:20
never you never need that information again needed screenshot don't know for a while the only screenshot I want to keep is I take a screenshot of my homepage with the folders up with the apps
00:20:31
because if I accidentally mess an app up and then it's gone and then I cannot figure out how I had it set up until I
00:20:38
spend like days second naturing trying to click things yeah yeah well the last one is called studio and the text reads you imagine it pixel creates it so it
00:20:51
kind of sounds like just a straight up image generation tool built into the pixel kind of like you know the AI image
00:20:56
playgrounds app we just saw Apple ad to the iPad and the iPhone or or it's just the iPad I guess no I think it's
00:21:02
the iPhone 2o it has a dedicated app on the iPad doesn't have a dedicated app on the iPhone too oh it's not maybe not I
00:21:09
don't know but same idea you just type a prompt and it just makes an image for you and then TBD how much creativity it
00:21:16
gives you is it a couple set Styles is it photo realistic who knows but it's just like hey we got Dolly and we put it
00:21:22
on your phone and now it's called Studios if you get something as creepy as the terrified mother from the Apple
00:21:29
intelligence they shoi the more I look back at that the more I'm shocked at that madeen that thing is that was a wild
00:21:39
image yeah wait can I ask ask a question that might be dumb I probably should have asked at the start of this
00:21:44
conversation wow the Google when we're saying coming to Google AI or like is this replacing assistant no I think this is like a a new section on your phone where they're just putting all the AI
00:21:56
stuff like an an AI SE what what are you doing Google what is all of this also my normal assistant now every time I do something is just like do you want to do that with Gemini I'm like I would
00:22:09
if you did it together but that's like saying do you want to not use the thing you just did do you want to not use me I
00:22:15
don't yeah it's hard I mean it's hard to package these features I think no it's not no this could all be one thing they
00:22:22
could have been Google Assistant my favorite thing in here is it says Gemini your AI assistant built in but assistant
00:22:27
is lowercased so now I know it has nothing to do with assistant I think we're getting rid of assistant
00:22:32
eventually and it's gonna be Gemini but this weird awkward stage of like I'm dating a new girl but still living with my ex a Gemini assistant is very
00:22:44
confusing I agree with that I'm just saying if you're a smartphone company and you have this wide variety of AI
00:22:52
features that kind of have nothing to do with each other how do you inform the user of all of them in place without
00:22:59
burying them in each app I think it's easier to inform the user than being like hey do you know all these things
00:23:04
you like well if you want to use the new stuff too bad you can't use the old stuff I'm just sad cuz Google has had AI
00:23:11
features for literally Forever on the pixel every year they introduce new AI features and they don't need to brand it
00:23:17
as such I well I think that's my theory is people just didn't know about them or use them at all and they built like we
00:23:23
know about them we know about Circle to search we know about the things like searching inside of it images inside
00:23:29
Google photos and like all the indexing it does but do you think regular people do that on a regular basis probably not
00:23:35
in this age of AI Google's kind of trying to shove them all in front of you like look here's the AI section where
00:23:41
we've cleverly named all of these things so you can like poke around and actually find them useful I think that's what they're trying to do here I agree with
00:23:47
what you're saying about like Gemini and assistant should be so here's I agree with what you're
00:23:53
saying as well but I have a question for you MH does this now make all those people who didn't know about it before know about it I think everyone just skips all of this again and it's their
00:24:03
version of like apple intelligence you know right it's what Apple just did with apple intelligence they've grouped it
00:24:09
all together and they don't even have a section in the settings app where it's like here's all the Apple intelligence stuff they just call it Apple
00:24:15
intelligence and then just spread them out through apps like it's in it's writing tools inside of certain things
00:24:21
it's math notes inside of calculator it's it's Siri but that's why all this inside of Google Assistant I think would
00:24:27
make more sense I think intelligence that's true yeah I I think a lot of this stuff will be built into
00:24:33
Gemini and no one will ever find it yeah correct I agree so they're just putting
00:24:39
it at the top in an AI bucket so that people find it I think that is a good idea ultimately but and all of our parents will just be like update oh cool and
00:24:52
never see this this is better than them never even seeing it true wait I maybe misunderstood
00:24:58
is this replacing Gemini no this includes seen no okay the screenshot is of a like a I guess what they're thinking a leak of this menu will look like it's just an AI section in the
00:25:13
settings and you open it up and it's like here are all of the AI things on your phone and at the top it's like
00:25:18
Gemini and assistant and underneath it says Circle to search here's what you can see on your screen underneath it
00:25:24
says add me it's a feature where you can make sure everyone's in your photo so it's just here here are all the AI
00:25:29
features okay and you can probably poke into one and try it out and it'll give you probably some visual demo of how it
00:25:35
works this is giving me big Vibes of like when I have too many things on my desktop so I create a new folder drag
00:25:41
everything into there and just call that new desktop that's exactly what I usually call it sort later and then
00:25:46
never get to it but if you're a trillion dollar company you call it AI so I guess there go the question at the real base
00:25:53
of this is where does this screen appear here what is this screen is this a thing
00:25:58
that pops up when you first start your phone and you're setting it up when you update your phone later is this going to
00:26:04
set up or is this just in the settings somewhere and I'm guessing it's in the settings and it's at setup at set setup
00:26:10
makes the most you how on Pixel you'll get that redundant notification that pops up every now and then a persistent notification that's like finish setting
00:26:17
up your pixel and you click it and then it just basically tries to teach you how to use your phone add context and you
00:26:22
just scroll just enough so it stops annoying me about it right because it always pops up unless do every single
00:26:29
thing inside of it yeah so it's going to it's going to jump in that bucket yeah probably now that I'm depressed about
00:26:35
that image generation Studio I think that we should take it to trivia what a segue smooth like butter like butter question number one
00:26:48
banan bin is one of many useful utility apps for Mac OS but Mac os's close cousin iOS has had more than its Fair share of useless
00:27:00
apps which of the following iOS apps is real is a fake app the lighter was super
00:27:08
useful I don't know what you're talking about and the gun number one this app is called blower
00:27:15
blower blower completely juices your iPhone speaker to the point where it can blow out a small candle nothing more nothing less
00:27:29
app number two BV turbo Mount your phone to the windshield or a pillar of your car and will use the gyroscope and accelerometer to monitor your car's performance and and display a fake turbo
00:27:43
boost gauge this does not add boost to your car you cannot plug it into your car's computer and monitor real boost it
00:27:50
just has an arbitrary boost value and it will play a sound out of the speaker for
00:27:56
Turbo lag C Cookie Clicker I'm just going to read this directly from Wikipedia because I think it explains it so much better than I ever could the user initially clicks
00:28:09
on a big cookie on the screen earning a single cookie per click they can then use their earned cookies to purchase assets such as cursors and other buildings that automatically produce
00:28:22
cookies upgrades are also available and can improve the efficiency of clicks and
00:28:27
buildings among many other mechanics that allow the user to earn more cookies in different ways this is a crypto scam
00:28:34
this is 100% the game lacks a conventional ending did Jesse Lou make that or D chromos the game lacks an ending
00:28:47
it's hilarious the App Store now allows emulators so what better to emulate than Google's Smash Hit OS for Chromebooks
00:28:59
that's right now you can use all of your favorite Chrome OS apps and experiences which are
00:29:05
just for iOS what that's it okay well we'll be thinking about that one for a while um we'll have the answers at the end like we usually do I'll be right back
00:29:24

00:30:36
AI all right welcome back we're we're in the mood for some wish lists this is that time of year where there's about a
00:30:42
bunch of tech that's about to come out but we also kind of want a bunch of tech to exist that doesn't right now and we
00:30:49
felt like if we put it out on Twitter we could get some more suggestions sorry X
00:30:54
it's Twitter it's tter that's my first One X but called Twitter it's Twitter it's still to twitter.com it still
00:31:01
brings you to twitter.com uh but we asked you guys on Twitter and Discord if you had more and boy did you they made a
00:31:08
list and they checked it twice it's good stuff so the format of the wish list basically is X but with Y that's
00:31:15
basically the whole thing I have a piece of tech X that would be amazing if it also had y or if it didn't do this or if
00:31:22
it was just different in this one way I kind of just blasted a bunch out on Twitter I don't know if we want to start
00:31:27
with those well so what was funny is we did this a few episodes ago yeah actually it was like three months ago at
00:31:33
this point but every a lot of people really liked it someone on our Discord named Abby was like can we do this can
00:31:38
we send you ideas and we were like oh that's such a great idea so we tweeted it for all of our audience too and then
00:31:44
Marquez is like no I've got some and then you rattled off like 10 different things on prob said all of these at some
00:31:51
point before so let's do yours first and then we'll go to our audience suggestions okay I want your guys'
00:31:56
reactions to if you agree or or disagree with these sure I think you'll probably agree with a lot of them okay first one
00:32:02
I said airpods max but with USB type-c and you can turn them off I mean there's a lot of other ANS and has a real case
00:32:08
and can fold and isn't 10,000 lb but like just give me USBC at least Fair yeah extremely Fair okay yeah uh Logitech mxm 3 but with notched sides
00:32:22
scrolling can I get an amen amen you scared do you know what I read the other day mxm 3 for lefties apparently they don't make a lefty
00:32:33
version of it true I've never thought of that but that Mouse has been like the only recommendation throughout every
00:32:40
single one of these channels in our studio and all the lefties out there I just remember feel not ambid at all it's
00:32:47
not it's I just remembered something what you're a lefty and I'm totally calling him out but I don't know if this
00:32:52
is weird or not uh my uncle's Lefty and I remember forever ago going over to house and using the computer and he uses the mouse which is a righty Mouse upside
00:33:03
down wait on the right side wait what do you mean upside down upside down you mean like flipped 180° no no no like ined facing him like like fac I've seen
00:33:13
lefties do that before yeah but with their right hand still right yes with their right hand still they tap it with their Palm how does that help the I
00:33:22
don't the way people I've seen is like you have your hand a little further down the mouse so you're sort of clicking with the meat of your fingers and then
00:33:29
it flips your fingers so now all of a sudden the left Mouse button on the right but vice versa I don't get how
00:33:35
that makes but the clickers are on the bottom I don't know I know I just don't get how you're still using your less
00:33:41
dominant hand though that's weird wa he's using his right hand he's using yeah his right hand but it's upside down
00:33:47
Mouse I know plenty of left-handed people who just use a mouse with their right hand I'm sure every Mouse is
00:33:52
righty most yeah the Magic Mouse is incredible it's obviously an omic work of art to
00:33:59
it's actually the only ambidexter Mouse really had to get the there are a lot there are getting it right yeah um
00:34:07
anyway that just popped my head I just not not sides scrolling just cuz I have this Final Cut it would be nice can I
00:34:14
just say that you tweeted this yesterday yesterday was that yesterday oh my God this week is going oh my you tweeted
00:34:21
this yesterday and I literally looked at my mouse and I scrolled the side and it didn't Notch I had no idea that I also
00:34:29
that all I can think even though I use wheel not it's weird that one does and one doesn't for sure I'm sure it's a space thing but yeah I would like I would like that a lot um
00:34:41
Twitter but with real video tools and analytics I have tried to upload a video from the browser to Twitter every week for three months it doesn't work it
00:34:52
still doesn't work so how do you do you do it from your phone so I air drop it to my phone and up up it from my phone
00:34:58
dang and then I copy and paste whatever I was going to use as a caption from the desktop to the phone how does Mr Beast
00:35:03
do it with his full videos honestly I don't know 12 people I tried in Safari Chrome and Arc it's just broken as hell
00:35:10
dang have you tried Modzilla I have not yo just saying the Firefox love from last episode true fantastic although all of them feel very good about Firefox for
00:35:21
probably real reasons when mine was just like I don't want to change and I don't really know why I use I don't know man I
00:35:27
kind of like it there's a new browser that I got tagged in yesterday that they're building I did see that yeah
00:35:32
it's like it doesn't use chromium and it's completely built from the ground up which is kind of interesting it's an open source browser project we will see
00:35:40
yeah anyway uh I have a couple more MH YouTube ABC thumbnail testing but pair those thumbnails with titles I like that idea th% simple I'm sure it's very
00:35:54
complicated but to me it's simple titles and thumbnails are paired packaging and if I can only ABC test thumbnails I need one title that matches
00:36:05
all three which is way harder yeah so yeah it can't be that difficult I just think it's a very intuitive thing and I think YouTube knows that that's an intuitive thing and they're still trying to figure out how to do it if I had that feature I would just add not clickbait
00:36:19
to the end of one of the titles interesting just all of them I think that's the reason we don't have
00:36:25
this feature how the ren son's changed AI photography not clickbait not clickbait but only half people get it so
00:36:33
then they can argue about if it's clickbait or not could work um base iPhone but 120 htz it's time that's not
00:36:44
I saw a bunch of people tweet this at us yeah I mean that's yeah they call it promotion and apple will stubbornly not
00:36:50
allow it to be on nonpr phones but come on bro it's 2024 anything called Pro is not going on there yeah
00:36:58
uh slack but with working reliable notifications yes please which I know is impossible I get it it's not going to
00:37:05
happen Butz we're trying to be realistic here I know Rel H in the sky ideas this is
00:37:10
crazy stuff it's wild how many slack notifications I miss because of how bad the notification system is yeah what bro
00:37:16
don't you read slack bro didn't you see my slack message I can't wait someone pull up Ellis's slack right now it's
00:37:21
just white straight down the I also think that there's an issue where like if you have a computer open that has
00:37:26
slack on it and you don't you often don't get a notification on your phone because the computer was like oh you saw
00:37:33
that and I like no I was not at my computer a lot of the other ones are also it's like it shows like three
00:37:38
messages in three different channels and you click it and it goes to just whatever your last channel was open yeah
00:37:43
and then you don't see anything there and then you have to go find them or you're just like oh that was it and then
00:37:49
scroll away and then you're like or sometimes it says you have like three unread messages in this channel so you go to it you read them and then you
00:37:56
click off the channel and it's still says you have three unread messages in that channel I just want to put this out there okay because I feel like I am at
00:38:02
the tail end of a lot of slack based slander I've worked here for almost 3 years I have never missed a deadline I
00:38:08
have never missed a meeting cuz we yell at I've no no tag because I am on top of
00:38:15
my game okay so what I'm not participating in 35 group chats at once okay I'm here I'm present I'm locked in
00:38:23
day in day out baby okay here's another one that I think uh I don't care that much about but I think a lot of people do Tesla but with carplay Android auto I
00:38:34
every car but with carplay and Android auto yeah I mean a lot of new cars have it and there's a couple notable ones that don't that would be more appealing
00:38:45
to a lot of people if they did have it I think last time I may have said rivan but with Android auto Ran's another one
00:38:51
they're stubbornly against it Lucid caved they didn't have it and then they added carplay um I don't think Tesla's going
00:38:58
to but I do think that if you add car Player Android AUD you need to add it elegantly because I'm trying to remember
00:39:05
that one car that added Lucid Lucid had a little window but I bet it still performs
00:39:11
better than the software on the Lucid it definitely looks better that's crazy to say out loud air
00:39:19
carplay in a like cropped rectangular window and a trapeo screen looks better than your native software that's really depressing tough or or then um the
00:39:30
Mercedes eqs software that looked like it was running Windows Media Player they all do that I like that Mini Cooper baby
00:39:36
it had the best off I meaning AI dogs there's no better than that the Germans really got to figure it out we hit pki years ago what are we doing yeah last
00:39:47
two for me anyway Google pixel but with the s24 is display specifically the anti- glare cating on the ultra or yeah so I would like a high-end pixel with the s24 Ultras display which everything
00:39:59
about it the flatness but also the refresh rate and responsiveness the brightness the anti-reflective cating
00:40:06
and it seems more durable I don't have nearly as many like visible scratches on this phone that I that I feel like I
00:40:11
usually have on phones that I've used for this long I've used this phone for six months sounds not that crazy but in
00:40:18
my world that's wild that's crazy uh so this is the best display on any phone I've ever used Mar I have bad news for
00:40:25
you what the Google pixel 9 is is reportedly going to use the same display as the iPhone 16 Pro okay so I saw this
00:40:32
headline I think that's also fine the iPhones have really good screens really bright screens really color accurate and
00:40:38
maybe a little bit more anti-reflective coding this year after what Samsung did with the s24 that turned out to be great
00:40:43
I also want to note that I opened threads yesterday and it fed me a post from someone who had screenshotted
00:40:50
your your comment to a tweet saying that you use the s24 ultra and they just posted on threads and they said MKBHD uses the s24 ultra interesting and it
00:41:01
had like 5,000 likes nice and I was like why is this interesting this is not interesting breaking YouTuber uses one of the most popular phones like what I
00:41:13
yeah I took it out my tech man uses Tech more 11 more 11 I think a lot of people figured I use a pixel which every it's like every three months I pull the pixel back out
00:41:25
and I like stare at it and then I go back to the for Ultra because it doesn't have decks no it's
00:41:32
not about decks it's not about decks it's the software man it's close if I could if I could do another one it would
00:41:38
be s24 ultra but with pixel pixel software but we're already so you know there is that pixel launcher that you can run on which gets you 70% of the way there but it's not quite the same for me
00:41:52
yeah yeah last but not least uh a printer but actually works it [Applause] works uh the printer industry would go under if that was the case so I feel
00:42:06
like this is the same oh this is a soccer game I'm sorry football um I'm G to get ra sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry the second sh was for the printer industry going under oh okay got it got
00:42:17
it yeah is there is there an element of like cars get sold but really they make their money on maintenance at dealerships is that the same thing about prins is it just ink basically the
00:42:27
McDonald's um Frosty machine thing yeah yeah for people that don't know hold on McFlurry machine can't go call it's a frosty machine it's the same machine oh you said you specifically I thought you
00:42:40
said ice cream machine said Frosty Ma I the my I'm sorry I'm sorry okay okay yeah for those that don't know there was a big conspiracy that ended up being true where um McDonald's Frosty sorry
00:42:53
McFlurry machines that was an actual accident uh break constantly and there's a company that just fixes them that is like basically owned by the same people
00:43:05
that make them and they have this whole industry where they break on purpose so that they can fund this other company
00:43:12
Tax things and it's a it's a ridiculous thing um what is the name of the guy on YouTube Johnny Harris the most popular video about this but I think it's been covered by a few other yeah YouTubers I
00:43:25
think it's like one of his most popular videos ever yeah they are always broken it's not it's not just you well that's
00:43:32
as much as I wrote on Twitter in the 7c me expect me to come up with those um but we have plenty more from you guys and I think what we should do is just go through some of the best ones and uh
00:43:44
give our reactions to them we have 15 pages oh of suggestions that's why this is going to be a two segment uh on the
00:43:52
Pod this week so uh yeah I think if anyone wants to find one I want to just say what tier I think the product would
00:43:58
be if it actually happened tier the product would be yeah you have to give the product a tier before and after then
00:44:04
okay yeah perfect so we're not fully tier listing it but we're kind of just seeing what the tiers would
00:44:09
change from start to I'll keep track of the ti of both oh oh oh I see what you're saying or we can just do new tier
00:44:16
I don't know the CH I'll just let's just say the ideas let's put the ideas in like that's an S tier idea okay starting
00:44:23
at the top this one says from Air S Pen report on the cover of the Galaxy fold and yeah it's true the Galaxy fold's S Pen only works on the inside screen mindblowing so I think it would be nice
00:44:35
if it worked on the outside especially because of how much more really that's dude that exactly what I said yesterday
00:44:41
insane yeah it would be the outside screen is very usable as a regular phone but you can't use on it what can we pick
00:44:48
how we're rating these because like to me right off the bat this feels like an S tier response because it is something
00:44:54
that makes so much sense feels like it's not that crazy of an ask but significantly improves the device the
00:45:01
s24 ultra S Pen only works on the exterior display but it's different because it doesn't have to work with a foldable like plastic OLED cover thing
00:45:08
so so I feel like if you make a pen that can that can work with something that's
00:45:13
really fragile it should be able to work with something that's really not fragile
00:45:19
agreed personally I think this is s tier just because so many of us didn't realize that was even a thing I think
00:45:25
that's an S tier this s tier reply I'm going to go from all over the list here go off King I think this was a really
00:45:32
good one and this was actually in the comment section of Our Last Wish List video he said select copy and paste in
00:45:38
Google messages or iOS me messages you can only copy the entire message or take a screenshot and smart select um why
00:45:46
okay yes I have I had I had an experience with this issue recently so on Android if you do the multitask thing it then allows you to select any any
00:45:59
part of any message by the way wait you're going to have to show me that later yeah so if you if you swipe up to
00:46:06
the multitask menu and you swipe over to whatever window you can then hold on any part of any text and copy any snippet of
00:46:13
any text really hold on I have to try this it is great this might be do it live oh didn't work didn't work for me either it tried to drop in a smaller
00:46:26
window yeah didn't work for Samsung's doing multi window is it only on Pixel it may
00:46:32
be so like cuz pixel doesn't do multi window what is this oh my God what did you do Samsung do multi window it's trying to do multi- window wow well before they added that multi window
00:46:43
thing you were able to do that that's weird anyway there's this message I was I've been trying to copy like a tracking number that jonno sent me like two weeks ago M and uh in SL
00:46:57
you can't just copy like a certain part of a message you can only copy the entire message yeah and it's really
00:47:03
annoying cuz he wrote a bunch of stuff beforehand he was like Anyway here's the tracking
00:47:09
number and I just wanted to copy the track yeah normally I have to I copy it and then I paste it in the message thing
00:47:15
for like sending it and then I scroll through that and copy the thing I need and delete all of it in an older version
00:47:21
of Android there absolutely used to be a thing where if you multitasked you could just select any of any message this
00:47:29
seems super simple and one of those things that you would use all the time yeah yeah a
00:47:35
tier I'll go a tier just because I don't want to go back toback s tier but like yeah
00:47:40
this I think that's an a tier suggestion yep here's one that I feel like they heard Adam talking the other day Apple watch to connect to all my devices not just iPhone and be able to work oh no as
00:47:52
a remote trackpad for navigating them that's why I added that wait that's not I thought he was going to say that you
00:47:58
could just connect it to something else for the initial setup but a trackpad that's that's s proo Max that's like
00:48:05
that's that's a good idea like if I'm just sitting on my couch I have Apple TV why can't I just like use my my watch
00:48:12
swipe around select things yeah I guess you can use your you can use your phone as a cursor on the TV already yeah so you might as well use your watch as a cursor it's pretty small though it's
00:48:24
pretty small yeah but if yeah I think I feel like that's pretty also with the crown being able to scroll with the crown oh yeah not about who who
00:48:35
said this who said this out there Terren Terren bro whatever Adam screenshotted this so
00:48:42
fast he responded 58 seconds ago according toam Adam got this in the first minute of it being posted big
00:48:48
brain Terren I like it I'm like I said S Pro in fact I'm creating an S pro Max here just for this awesome I'm say anything but if it doesn't have USBC please put USBC in it because there's
00:49:01
this new Kodak Super8 film camera that uses micro USB and it's $6,000 and those two things should never
00:49:10
ever ever be paired together that's a that should be a federal crime I agree the European Union would do it I agree
00:49:17
we're just too baby to make crazy laws like that micro USB unbelievable all right we have one more before we should take a break sure and I think somebody here will like this one a lot iPhone 13 mini but with good battery Pro
00:49:31
Max S pro Max purple to be fa the 13 mini had way better battery than the 12 mini it did but there were that's relative I mean the 12 mini was just weak and the 13
00:49:43
mini was much better but still below average yeah and I think if it had by some miracle like really good battery like some Zen phone 9 type battery it would be awesome so you know how apple
00:49:55
is apparently like using new battery Tech to make that like iPhone 17 slim or whatever and everything's going to have
00:50:01
better battery life they should bring back the iPhone many true and with the Silicon this is something that they've
00:50:07
talked about before like especially with a new iPad that's thinner they'd be like this new silicon because of how
00:50:12
efficient it is is the reason we were able to make it this thin and I think if Apple's able to bring in obviously more
00:50:19
efficient batteries but also even more efficient silicon they can go ah the 13 mini 12 mini they were ahead of their
00:50:25
time this new silicon Like You could argue um when the MacBook Pros were getting kind of slim and weak we're like it was ahead of its time that Intel silicon was not it but now we're ready
00:50:36
for that again we're ready for the mini again I saw an Intel MacBook Pro this week and I forgot how thin they were
00:50:44
yeah and that just seemed like a bad idea especially using x86 like why would they do that obviously they put an I9
00:50:52
processor in that thing and it had zero cooling they said let him cook Jesus they said let's make a computer that's also a George Foreman grill that thing cook that was so
00:51:02
obviously a terrible idea they did do that insane yeah inan this is twice as thick and it uses a chipset that's way more efficient man they they really I mean it's no one would buy it it's still
00:51:14
a mini phone yeah I know if it being real I would buy it but while you guys were mentioning it that kind of makes me
00:51:20
want the old MacBook again no the like 12-in MacBook I want the 12-in MacBook with an M series process yeah that's what I'm saying and a full screen display in hindsight a lot of Apple products were ahead of their time the
00:51:31
trash can Mac Pro could be a good computer with apple silicon but they just fried an Intel chip in there
00:51:37
instead and put a bunch of R I love that they have that with the Intel chip and now that they could fit something in the
00:51:42
trash can they still have it in that monstrosity cheese grater yeah the trash can looks a lot better than the cheese grater you know what's funny the cheese grater doesn't support any gpus but the
00:51:53
trash can actually had gpus in it crazy wait that's a great Point did it have flies buzzing around it fair okay we'll take a quick break we have way more from you guys after the break but
00:52:05
of course since we're taking that break trivia trivia dude woo so Ellis said earlier that he had one terabyte of stuff in the trash can of his computer what was in there that's a lot
00:52:22
of smarts but also a lot of data correct Marquez that is a lot of data nice I got a point yeah how much data
00:52:30
exactly though how many bytes is in one terab Bites in binary closest Delta will
00:52:36
get the points oh btes yes bites oh God meab wait can I have a pen David you're overthinking this like I could already tell you don't need to convert bits to bytes because we're asking about
00:52:49
terabytes oh yes got it you should remind them that this was already a trivia question also this was already a
00:52:55
trivia question and we picked it because we just thought Advan risk nice and what is yeah acorns risk
00:53:04
machine it's a month are you happy James yeah we'll be right back we'll [Music] be support for this show comes from meta have a question or need how to

00:54:24
AI all right welcome back we've got a bunch more of your suggestions for best possible products to exist and we're
00:54:30
going to rate them and we're going to be as harsh as we possibly can do it meaning we won't give them all s tier
00:54:37
because some of them can't be that amazing but I we have a bunch more from Twitter and from Discord what have you guys found okay I have one here okay
00:54:44
that I'm interested in your guys takes on because I think we might have varying levels of interest in this physical
00:54:49
fingerprint readers on the back of the phone y I would like to read it back do you I loved it
00:54:57
yeah I guess it's just a feature but like so take maybe any every take the phone you have right now government
00:55:03
mandated the phone I have right now okay that plus USBC here's everything the phone I have right now the s24 ultra has the ultronic fingerprint reader and it's really good there are phones that have
00:55:14
slow Optical fingerprint readers that I would rather have it on the back a pixel being one of them to be honest I think
00:55:20
pixel like put my like the where the G logo usually is on the back give me the fingerprint reader there yeah that's
00:55:27
cool here's my take against it okay I had the pixel 7 I think that had it under the fingerprint and I liked it at first but it was a little slow so when I got the Zen phone and it was on the side
00:55:39
I was like I'm going to like this so much more because it's more physical it should be faster but I got so used to my
00:55:44
phone just sitting face down on the table and me just putting my thumb on it that then my thumb on the side of the
00:55:50
phone got really weird or I would have to also do my index finger that now going back to that's 24 I love the under
00:55:57
display yeah and I wouldn't want it on the back interesting yeah I remember I think I'm full under display now the Zen
00:56:04
phones was really good it was on the power button and it was so fast that if I just picked up the phone with my finger on the power button it would
00:56:11
unlock before I could see any of my notifications sometimes that's a bad thing though right so I developed the
00:56:16
thing where I'd pick up my phone with just like the tip of my finger to press the button so it didn't read so that I
00:56:22
could actually see my notifications that's a great point and it worked yeah yeah yeah I like that but face down on
00:56:28
the table you can't press the back of the phone's fingerprint sensor you can but why would you unlock
00:56:34
your phone while face down on a table no no not face down face up oh when it's face up oh that's what I mean oh okay oh
00:56:42
yeah yeah you can unlock it then you double tap sorry I thought you were like you could unlock yeah face up you can't
00:56:47
that's fair okay but it so this is like B I think I'm I think I'm it's lab as controversial I'm controversial I'm with it because
00:56:59
the pixel 4 a had it on the back and that was best of all time it was freaking amazing I would just take it out of my pocket already unlocked I feel
00:57:06
like I only if you put it your finger in the center see this solves both problems because you could take it out with your
00:57:12
hands on the sides and then you could look at your notifications or you could put your hand in your pocket with your
00:57:17
index finger going and have a nice little like Ridge so you could identify it in your pocket and just it was smooth
00:57:22
so good all right I found one okay unless you have something this agree this is a B I was just going to say like
00:57:29
I feel like for any nonf Flagship phones I would want this there because if it's
00:57:34
not like the topof the line under display I would prefer just the fast physic the only one that has the top of
00:57:39
the line under display though is the s24 basically yeah the S the ultra yeah a bunch of Oppo ones and I think I'm sure
00:57:47
there's a couple yeah they have ultronic there are others with ultrasonic but I the optical ones can get kind of yeah slow they don't work in the rain yeah okay I found one um an Apple Watch that
00:57:59
can wirelessly charge without the specific Apple watch charger like a regular wireless charger any every watch
00:58:07
s tier s tier yes please yeah yeah it is so annoying that you have to put it on a
00:58:14
very specific charger that sort of like cradles it correctly you have to bring it everywhere I will say it is an like I
00:58:20
have the the Garmin watch which also has a proprietary charger which is annoying really annoying but I will say the Apple
00:58:27
watch one to me is a little more annoying because it's wireless I should be able to just drop it on a chi charger
00:58:33
yeah like if you give me the cable it's proprietary cable whatever annoying be better but like whatever I'll deal yeah
00:58:39
but like you're so close also you can charge the airpods with the mag safe and with the
00:58:46
Apple watch charger and that is the only product that you can charge with both Chargers
00:58:52
are you serious yeah I use it I do it every day yeah H it's great because I have this I have this dual charger that has a Apple watch charger and an iPhone charger on it and I put my airpods on
00:59:03
the Apple watch charger because I don't use an Apple Watch and I put my uh phone on the max most people don't know that
00:59:10
Ellis has used my charger on my desk and I've had the airpods on it and you've taken it off and put your watch on it
00:59:17
yeah well locked in bro but also day and day out on top of this Garmin watch if it's not going to be Wireless do USB see stop giving me this proprietary proprietary it's awful dang is it just
00:59:32
cuz it's shallower it's got be because I why I don't know what this really Pogo pens too yeah there's definitely a
00:59:39
reason but it's annoying being a real outdoor boy with this so much Gunk gets caught in there and then I have to like
00:59:45
fish it out one cable and you're just screwed yep dang at least it last like 3 weeks but yeah does the um does the
00:59:53
Galaxy watch have Chi or does that also watch I think it has CH let me look it up I think it does that would be I so I think the reason a lot of these are is just because of the way watch bands work
01:00:07
floats the watch and doesn't really let it sit flat and they're the smaller ones fit there yeah but it would still be
01:00:15
nice to be able to somehow make that work apparently it's based on Chi but it's too small of a coil to is regular
01:00:20
that's what I kind of figured the reason like I don't think a regular Apple watch could fit on a MAG safe charger cuz the mag safe coil is way wider than the
01:00:27
watch that's fair yeah okay I found a really interesting one oh do we want to rate this yeah wait what what Ra was
01:00:32
that I think that it's pretty good but I also understand the physical limitations
01:00:39
that would not allow this to work that's not our problem true let's say they um at least a tier I would say a
01:00:46
tier I could be seded I was going to go B but let's go a let's go a I think a right all right I have a fun one yeah uh
01:00:53
shiron suggests I iPod Classic but updated to 2024 standards USBC Bluetooth a terabyte of storage I'm going to throw in on top of what he said give it OLED and an incredible battery and wireless
01:01:09
charging and all that and 5G so I think App Store I I do think that for there's kind of this Renaissance of physical Hardware devices coming back right now I do think that
01:01:22
most people at this point in time do not know how to like load MP3 files onto a device that's true like everyone is so streaming everyone's so used to just using streaming that people are not used
01:01:35
to like oh how do I get MP how do you even get MP3 files anymore you know I'd rather have this as like the old not
01:01:42
even iPad Nano but like the clip just like updated because then if you're just running can I look status unknown AKA Chiron that
01:01:53
tweets great suggestion can I propose an Al internet thing sure that I saw someone on uh Twitter in Reddit someone
01:02:01
on Reddit someone on Reddit uh made this really cool thing where they put um near
01:02:09
God I'm having a brain fart moment see the thank you wow locked in day in day out they put NFC chips in all of their vinyl records and then they put a little
01:02:22
uh in the in the sleeves and then they put a shelf on their uh wall and so they put a vinyl
01:02:29
record on their turntable and then they put the C the the sleeve on on the Shelf
01:02:35
reads the NFC chip and then a projector in their wall turns on and projects all of the metadata for the album around the vinyl like when it came out the track
01:02:46
listing who played on it I thought you were going to say dude I exactly I did to I was about to be depressed I thought you were gonna say they have all the sleeves and they just tap their phone to
01:02:56
the sleeve and it starts playing on Spotify Spotify right they have that too yeah they but I do I do think if we're
01:03:03
trying to get closer to our music iPod modern iPod Classic great idea but but people who can build Innovative home launchers for Spotify I think that's that's what I
01:03:17
want I guess I saw that as more of offline music listening and small form factor like running and stuff like that
01:03:26
I just I don't think you get anything out of unless you're like wrong and you are like a high-fi nerd um I said it uh you're not going to get anything really out of like using an iPod classic versus
01:03:38
streaming in in my opinion other than having a more intimate relationship with your music and I think there's cooler
01:03:43
ways and I think there's cooler ways to build those relationships I do I like this idea and I think that these things are going to get more popular as products like Spotify who have such a
01:03:55
grasp on the Market start to push their users out of using it because it just becomes so expensive and such a horrible experience and I think anything we do to increase the emotional value of our
01:04:06
albums is uh is important I will say to bring it back to this tweet I would use a zoom HD today with modern updated specs has one at his desk it's the Sony
01:04:18
walk how would you get the music on it I don't know but I would have to have another modern updated spec which is a a
01:04:27
a store for music where every song is one cent and I just buy them for whatever I don't know one I just like
01:04:33
the idea of the zun HD Hardware being updated to being modern and then using that to play my music I think that is
01:04:38
the The Logical conclusion that I come to as well is I think about it and I'm like oo a hardware device dedicated to
01:04:45
music streaming and I'm like okay what would that look like well I need Spotify because I love my podcast all in one
01:04:51
place I love Made For You playlist all that okay so then now it's just become a smartphone AI DJ and I already have a
01:04:58
good smartphone I do but what if I just had like a chair in an empty room and a zoom HD on a table and some headphones yeah but what if overall this idea is
01:05:08
clearly B tier yeah but what if you could combine that with a revolutionary mobile phone oh my God a widescreen iPod internet and a breakthrough
01:05:23
internet communication device are you getting it Chiron I highly recommend you go check out our friends at retrospect
01:05:28
decom who do sell a iPod Classic modded to 2024 you can buy this don't know if bluetooth don't know if it has Bluetooth but you can get the Bluetooth converter for 15 bucks on Amazon and USBC is sick
01:05:42
I have a kind of Niche one that I think Ellis will like a USB switcher with more
01:05:47
than four ports to swap between devices I agree we never found like one with more 3.0
01:05:54
usba four I don't think we USB 3.0 ports yeah that's definitely I would I would put this in a tier because this is
01:06:00
definitely although I don't I don't understand it's the same thing I don't understand why the Hubs Don't have more
01:06:06
Thunderbolt pass through I don't if you understand please let us know because I I don't if I could buy a small dock that
01:06:14
had like 15 USB ports on it and I could switch between two computers with a click of a button I would some of it is
01:06:21
definitely about power but if you have a power supply it's a yeah if you can plug it in I'm sure most people would do that to just make it easier to switch between two computers I don't know if you if you can let us know
01:06:32
why please do wow that was so low energy you shoulder that one you were very into
01:06:38
it you should I think a tier said b a tier I I would throw that in I'd say a tier for the people who are looking for it the amount of people who are looking for it are probably D tier yeah that's a
01:06:48
d tier for me D tier you think that's a bad idea it's not that it's a bad idea it's
01:06:55
that specific use case yeah it's so Niche more Niche than S Pen on the outside of
01:07:01
the fold are you are you kidding when you're right you're right there's a lot of folds out there all right I have one
01:07:08
that's a kind of interesting one because I'm curious what you guys takes are on this and I think it might be different
01:07:13
from mine uh sarves says Vision Pro but made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic to reduce Mass Vision Pro but three times as expensive so here's the thing about the Vision Pro
01:07:26
Apple went out of their way to make it as light as possible and as heavy as possible at the same time hear me out okay it do you need to borrow that tin foil hat no no no this is just all facts
01:07:39
we've seen the inside of the Vision Pro before at least I've seen the inside of Vision Pro and inside of that Titanium
01:07:45
or whatever I guess it's aluminum enclosure they have gone to extreme lengths to carve out extra mass and all
01:07:52
of the inside pieces are like the PCB are like mounted on on carbon fiber like they have carbon fiber inside the
01:07:58
headset most people don't know this it's like super super light for some reason inside of it but they are still the only
01:08:05
ones that chose to make a headset with a huge piece of glass on the outside with
01:08:10
a metal body and with like screens facing the outside of you so it's clearly going to be heavy with all those
01:08:15
pieces but they've gone to extra lengths to make it light it's really weird so they had all these priorities it's
01:08:22
really well built so I think what sarves suggest is to take all of the metal and
01:08:27
make it carbon fiber reinforced plastic but I still don't think it would be a very light headset you would still have
01:08:33
a screen and a bunch of Glass on the outside making it heavier than normal so I think this is like a c tier because it's still it's still going to be a heavy I mean I think what he wants to
01:08:45
accomplish is a lighter Vision Pro which I think we can all agree on right yes a cheaper one probably will be lighter if
01:08:51
you're saying Vision Pro you're still suggesting the screen scen on the outside and all these other things I
01:08:57
think you can make a lighter VR headset but you're not going to have Vision Pro features I think Vision Pro needs to it
01:09:02
not doesn't need to worry about actual weight but balance of weight and how they could fix that apparently there is
01:09:09
a uh padding some company made some Vision Pro padding thing that you put on it like a the mask and it's really really really good and that came out like last week and everyone's raving
01:09:20
about it right now interesting yeah they said it solved like all of the headache problems cuz the like eye whatever it's
01:09:26
called is like too thin yeah the pressure that it puts it moves the pressure away from your cheekbones which
01:09:31
is where all that pressure goes and like gives you a headache yeah so no I just like everyone else I love the idea of a
01:09:37
way lighter at cuz Vision Pro is very heavy and uncomfortable after a long time yeah but yeah that's my that's my
01:09:43
take on that it's weird the head the headset itself is so weird there's actually a ton of carbon fiber in it
01:09:49
already it's wild would you rate that so I I put that as like a c because it doesn't actually change the things that are bad about the headset it's just a cool carbon fiber
01:10:01
thing someone said rabbit R1 if it was good yep s tier um or worked or did anything F tier if it was good it would be S tier because it's good what is good yeah that's a great
01:10:14
question a universal find my network that works with IOS and Android that's like the dream that's the one that's
01:10:22
like government mandated it's like it's so it we all would love that I wish I don't see how they're both I mean the Android one
01:10:35
has been having major problems obviously but if it worked correctly then there are enough iPhones and Android phones that it's not really an issue that you need to merge both of them I guess what
01:10:48
would be cool is if it was the same network could you use the accessories of the other thing so if I wanted to use an
01:10:54
air tag as an Android User would I be able to use it if they shared networks but I guess I wouldn't need to CU there's tile but maybe just the form factor of one's better than tle doesn't use Android's five mind device so if it
01:11:06
was like a slim because I bet there there going to be that Motorola uh Android five mind device tag that just
01:11:12
that just came out yeah there might just be a form factor you like better on the other one so if it was all intertwined
01:11:18
together would kind of ruin the ecosystem a little bit the walls would be shaved down a bit which is probably
01:11:24
the best for all of us but um I mean yeah s tier I think that would be great it's just one that's harder to get there yeah I don't know no I think it's
01:11:36
I think it's I feel like there's already enough of everything you know no but it's well yeah but so why don't all those things work together better we have nothing to lose but our chains okay I will say on the find my on the find my
01:11:49
device stuff the fact that Google and apple work together because of the air tag stocking thing so that if you have an Android phone it will give you a notification if there's an air tag following you and you can ring the air
01:12:02
tag from your Android phone if if you need to find it because it's following you that's crazy that's like the first
01:12:08
time that Apple's ever let an Android phone do anything to any of us so we do know it's possible Mar CU I see you
01:12:14
scrolling in this Dock and I feel like there's one you're going to mention and if you don't I'm going to mention it you can go for it Google Tasks but they say
01:12:22
bring back natural natural language processing they said they had it apparently at one point but now they
01:12:27
don't if I take this literally Google Tasks with natural language processing pretty much C tier C tier cuz Google Tasks is already D tier basically
01:12:40
like when you type in your task if you say like it can pick up times and dates and different things and help just list
01:12:47
it and send notifications based on that without having to be like you could just say like uh I'm going to take the trash
01:12:53
out uh tomorrow morning and then it will re and then you don't have to then go set the time and date
01:12:59
and everything you just type it in and it fills out the rest of it for the notifications aspect oh yeah which a lot
01:13:06
of task apps do have and I remember David telling us about that David Pierce telling me about that and thinking that
01:13:12
sounds cool and I've stuck with Google Tasks and I do not have that yeah but I would like it interesting but I didn't
01:13:18
like the other apps that did have it mhm so I don't have it well they did integrate didn't they integrate Google calendar into Google Tasks all the way around
01:13:29
oh oh yeah you're right also there was a little update in Google keep my beloved
01:13:35
really which I've used for many decades where if you use it on a foldable I think I actually have H I bet we've I've
01:13:43
used since it came out it was probably about a decade ago yeah yeah anyway if you use it on a foldable and you open
01:13:50
the phone you can have two different Google account Google keeps next to each other oh really that's such that's my
01:13:57
nightmare double keep have you seen my Google keep it's pretty it is where my shopping list lives right now because
01:14:04
that's where Google home drops it by default oh and they haven't let you change that in forever I'm surprised
01:14:09
they don't put it in Hangouts when you ask oh my goodness add X to my shopping list it's had several
01:14:17
different places over the years where it's put that it used to put that in a web portal of just your sh the rabbit hole
01:14:23
the rabbit the Google hole as good as that yeah and now it's back it was Google keep it moved it out of Google
01:14:29
keep to a web portal now it's back in Google Keep yeah so I really hate that we are
01:14:34
completely dictated by these Tech overlords I want I want more control of my life I this made me think of Google
01:14:42
Chat which I didn't even know was a thing g chat it's not Gchat or it used to be Gchat it used to be Gchat then it
01:14:48
was Hangouts now it's Google chat Google chat or just chat yeah it is terrible yeah really bad we like a
01:14:57
friend group of mine who used to use h g chat then Hangouts then went to slack then all started hating slack and like
01:15:03
just randomly started messaging in chat now in Google nothing about it works whether you're inside your email browser as like a popup or the app is the worst app I've ever used in my life and Google
01:15:16
employees have to use that as their main thing they don't they don't use slack rather to use Google Google Chat for
01:15:22
everything it's just constantly in the app like scroll to newest messages and you can see you're at the newest
01:15:27
messages and then you click it and it just Scrolls up for like three minutes and then you don't know where you are
01:15:33
Twitter does that sometimes too it's in incredible how bad it is yeah I cannot believe it wait so what was the feature that we're talking about is the S tier natural language processing in Google
01:15:44
test I don't know if I'd consider that natural language processing really yeah natural language
01:15:49
processing is just being able to synthesize what you're saying yeah and then turn it into action and then use it I think it counts it's a basic thing it's like if I tell if I tell a regular
01:16:01
task app uh tell remind me to take out the trash on Thursday afternoon it will just write remind me to take out the trash on Thursday afternoon and make it a task for today but if you have natural
01:16:13
language processing then it will say remind me I feel like companies have hardcoded
01:16:19
like keywords like that in before to like go straight to action I count that yeah but wouldn't with like would
01:16:25
natural language processing be like if you're like brh there's so much trash I should do something about this in in six
01:16:33
days that's extreme natural language BR then your Apple robot goes and cleans it up for you that is AI That's s tier that's AI That's oh that's Apple intelligence that's AI nobody wants any
01:16:47
of this I don't know I I kind of I don't know if if any tech company has shipped a single product that a single person
01:16:54
has wanted in about 5 years that's that's not true as we all say on our apple silic apple pencil hover nobody asked erasing things for
01:17:07
the back from the background of our photos is pretty good yeah I'll give marize that yeah but it's not it could
01:17:12
be better Honda Moto compacto nobody asked for that Checkmate but people don't know
01:17:19
what they want the stuff that famously the stuff that's come out that has been like surprisingly awesome
01:17:26
nobody was asking for but some you've been in the sun too long just enjoy the tech with us yeah I'm tan man David's
01:17:33
touched too much grass he's like is this Tech stuff really worth it I was in the mountains I was like I don't need a
01:17:40
phone I should just move out here uh should we do one more okay I have a great one okay I think we would end it
01:17:47
on wrap it up this is s tier for me I don't really care what you guys say this is s tier okay iPad Mini Pro s yes s
01:17:57
with highest S I think that's S pro Max for this has got to be S proo Max this is I from
01:18:04
Max and the um calculator throw in like a mini apple pencil so that it's not like a huge one you know the apple pencil is pretty big if
01:18:16
you put it on next to I mean even with the iPad Air already in the iPad Pro it's it's pretty big so a smaller apple
01:18:22
pencil to go with it and then yeah tanm OLED 20 HZ give it all the features give it all the cameras all the battery USBC
01:18:31
also iPads and the mini would be best for this with mag safe yeah mag safe because then you could use it like the Google tablet like the pixel tablet yeah smack that which seems like a very
01:18:44
obvious thing pop it on the homepod come on yo I was looking like a little Mushroom on the homot mini yeah or no maybe the main size hot either way
01:18:56
I was looking up iPads yesterday I've gotten so close to buying one a few times and I had the iPad Mini up and if this was a real thing right now the iPad Mini is just I heard there
01:19:08
is a refreshed mini coming it's so heard that and then I heard it was cancelled so now I'm not sure and as the
01:19:14
only iPad mini user here I really want it I'm a theoretical iPad mini user I want to be an iPad mini user so badly but I can't put myself through it with the exist iPad Mini so I'm just hoping
01:19:27
also the 11in pro is so good that it's hard to yeah but just give me like a basically like an eight like a Nexus 9 remember Nexus 9 there's also a Nexus 7 Nexus 7 o 7 was nice too but it had big
01:19:39
bezels it did so maybe eight is but it had a really nice soft touch back yeah we're getting off track um I have S tier
01:19:47
I have one I have one more Pro Max the episode ends it's trivia but it's right now and I'm doing it s tier oh F tier if I
01:19:59
get it wrong this music right now there there we go I I cannot believe I messed up that button press that's like the
01:20:05
most embarrassing point of my if I get the question right it'ser if I get it wrong it's F
01:20:11
tier all right question number one banana bin is one of very is one of many very useful utility apps for Mac OS but Mac 's close cousin iOS has had more
01:20:23
than its fair share of completely useless apps which of the following iOS apps is a fake app a
01:20:34
blower an app that runs your phone's speaker so hard you can use it to blow out candles B BV turbo Mount your phone to the windshield or a pillar of your car
01:20:47
and it will display a fake boost gauge which reacts to the movements of your car it will even lag and play a sound to
01:20:54
make it feel all the more real C Cookie Clicker and I'm reading from Wikipedia the user initially clicks on a big cookie on the screen earning a single cookie per click they can then
01:21:07
use their earned cookies to purchase assets such as cursors and other buildings that automatically
01:21:14
produce why did part that automatically produce cookies upgrades are also available and can improve the efficiency of clicks and buildings among many other mechanics that allow the user to earn
01:21:26
cookies in different ways the game lacks a conventional ending or D chromos the App Store now
01:21:35
features emulators and what better to emulate than Google's Smash Hit of an operating system chromeos that's right
01:21:42
all of your favorite Chromebook apps and experiences are now available on the iPhone like they would how do you spell chromos uh you spell it c r o m i and
01:21:54
then Capital OS like Chrome chromy chrom iOS oh chrom iOS yeah real clever [Music]
01:22:13
bites all right guys what do we have who wants to go first I wrote a blower a blower is
01:22:27
incorrect blower is a real app you can download from the App Store and it's not even free how does Apple you can pay to
01:22:35
screw your how does Apple allow that if it's going to just ruin your speaker don't ask Marquez I see you also put blower no I didn't oh what that was a
01:22:46
joke at the bottom I my actual answer was chromos or whatever you said chromos is a fake app I made that one up very good that's what I to Andrew also put
01:22:58
chromos yes you thus far cannot run a Chromebook on your iPhone I was I was thinking of it but I thought Apple would never allow somebody to like blow out their iPhone speaker I do just want to
01:23:10
say also uh to every single member of gen Z watching this I am sorry that you had to just pretend that cookie clicker was fake I know you all have cookie clicker installed on I know about Cookie
01:23:22
Clicker that's why wait really yeah not an nft project no no it's it's real it's like it's not just real it's like a
01:23:28
smash like huge hit among kids similar to that banana game on cookies yeah but this predates that by a while yeah yeah so we actually already did question number two because Adam
01:23:47
fishlyn Marquez with 12 nice Andrew with 13 David with 13 oh and Ellis one two carry the
01:24:02
one dang so there's a thousand that's what I'm doing I'm just and we're back while Marquez and David try to cheat their way into the an
01:24:14
it's called mathematics Adam there's a whole okay you know what I'm going to cut this for later then if you guys th
01:24:23
no stop wait tring our time wa what's happening I didn't even who you better hurry up you're going to edit this like that they were trying yeah they were trying to answer it now so I'm just going to
01:24:34
get the timer going all right I got it can I have a timer lady Andrew Andrew is spending a lot of time confused right
01:24:40
now he could just be getting an answer brutal normally I'm the brutal one here but this is
01:24:47
ridiculous and flip him and read so uh Andrew what' you get off the top is that a trillion off the D
01:25:01
100,000 million no David yeah it is I wrote one billion Marquez so I think I wrote a trillion it's a trilli oh frick yeah
01:25:12
yeah CU that's a 100 thousand if I had more time to do the math and I think everything I wrote there is correct you can ignore that I do not know the reason it's 1024 is cuz
01:25:25
there's 8 bytes in a bit so you do that multiply it by 1,000 I wasn't going to get that I wrote that there is a terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes a gigabyte
01:25:32
is 1,000 megabytes a megabyte is 1,000 kilobytes a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes Oh I thought so then I yeah the the 24 if I
01:25:40
understand correctly and I encourage any and all computer scientists to tell me how wrong I am in the comments but the
01:25:45
reason it's a 24 is because human brains because of our fingers and toes like to count in a base 10 system otherwise
01:25:52
known as The Dewy Decimal system that was a joke shut up what that was a library joke uh but
01:26:01
computers because they do not have toes uh are not super into Bas does Tes have toes I don't know but sure uh they counted base two and you can't get to a
01:26:14
thousand evenly if you're doing powers of two you can only get to 1024 and for a long time this didn't really matter because what's 24 bits but you can't get to 1,000 evenly with powers of two the
01:26:28
closest you can get is 10 1024 I think it's 2 to the 12th you can you're thinking of divisible by two 2 to the 3 is you mean just like one
01:26:41
one one one no two to the 10th power is 102 is 1,24 2 to the 9th power is 512 so
01:26:49
it's two * 2 * two those are computer numbers oh that's what you're saying exactly and so technically we measure computer storage in uh an alternate base
01:27:02
2 system so not terabytes we would say tbbi bytes Bingo go TBI bytes so a terabyte is as Marquez said a trillion bytes but there is no hard drive in the world that actually has a terabyte on it
01:27:16
it actually has a TBI bite on it and they just you don't care enough yeah right and we're back and Marquez was the only one that got that answer correct so
01:27:27
now everyone is tied at 13 oh this is the closest game we've had in such a long time this is aesome maybe the trivia Extravaganza should only be worth single points One n one point at
01:27:39
the end no it's going to be like 47 points is it even a trivia extravagan if it doesn't render oh my gosh that's so
01:27:46
funny wa there's one there's one point to win at the end we'll call it trivia extravaganza journey to carry the one Marquez would end this podcast but
01:27:58
he's too busy clicking cookies well hey that's been it for this week clearly there's going to be a well
01:28:05
there's going to be way more fun stuff next week like like usual we always have fun stuff to do uh but of course thanks for suggesting all the stuff that you
01:28:11
did this week on Twitter and of course follow us over there if you have more suggestions or if you just want to follow us see what else we post okay
01:28:18
that's it thanks see you later bye wa for produced by Adam Elina and Ellis Ren we're partnered with VOX media podcast
01:28:23
Network and our trure music was created by V [Music] Sil to be fair I feel like people that played Zelda are not actually
01:28:46
Gamers wow cuz I that and upload that to the internet straight away with you I love Zelda let me be clear
