00:02:21 ◼   ► sending as many applications that [TS]

00:02:23 ◼   ► surprisingly feature a PFS in their [TS]

00:02:27 ◼   ► release notes so the update is happening [TS]

00:02:31 ◼   ► even though the update was seamless for [TS]

00:02:33 ◼   ► users for developers not exactly [TS]

00:02:35 ◼   ► actually I think I might have hit one of [TS]

00:02:38 ◼   ► these problems so in the recent version [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► of overcast that's in the store as of [TS]

00:02:43 ◼   ► late last week I had to remove support [TS]

00:02:47 ◼   ► for m4a chapters and I forget whether I [TS]

00:02:50 ◼   ► talked about on the show and I was done [TS]

00:02:51 ◼   ► talking about here now you just tweeted [TS]

00:02:53 ◼   ► about it that's right anyway so so for [TS]

00:02:56 ◼   ► AAC /em for a slash Moff john chapters i [TS]

00:02:59 ◼   ► had to remove support for them [TS]

00:03:02 ◼   ► temporarily at least until i can write [TS]

00:03:03 ◼   ► my own parser because the apple parser [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► kept crashing on some of the fun a lot [TS]

00:03:07 ◼   ► of the files that were that we're doing [TS]

00:03:09 ◼   ► and iOS you know there's no way as far [TS]

00:03:12 ◼   ► as I know there's no way for me to parse [TS]

00:03:14 ◼   ► metadata like in a separate process or [TS]

00:03:16 ◼   ► anything so that if it crashes my whole [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► app doesn't come down and I think it's [TS]

00:03:21 ◼   ► the crashes seemed to start around the [TS]

00:03:22 ◼   ► time to 10.3 beta started so it would [TS]

00:03:25 ◼   ► not surprise me if this was file system [TS]

00:03:26 ◼   ► related and the reason I had to do all [TS]

00:03:29 ◼   ► this it was kind of a crazy hack I'll [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► try to tell quickly basically when [TS]

00:03:32 ◼   ► overcast downloads its files it [TS]

00:03:35 ◼   ► downloads them with no extension it just [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► saves it as like you know a big ID [TS]

00:03:39 ◼   ► number with no file extension you know [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► mp3 or anything the metadata parser from [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► Apple and the API can only operate on a [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► file name or URL cannot operate a just [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► account on a data blob so it knows about [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► the file name and if that file name does [TS]

00:03:53 ◼   ► not end in dot AAC or thought I m4a it [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► doesn't work right but only for those [TS]

00:04:00 ◼   ► files and if it's an mp3 needs to end in [TS]

00:04:02 ◼   ► that to work right and so they the [TS]

00:04:06 ◼   ► solution i came up with was when oh and [TS]

00:04:09 ◼   ► also I don't always have the whole file [TS]

00:04:10 ◼   ► sometimes I'm streaming the file and so [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► I have to just write out like the bid I [TS]

00:04:16 ◼   ► have to a temp file and then read the [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► metadata from it and then read and [TS]

00:04:20 ◼   ► delete the temp file and [TS]

00:04:21 ◼   ► then to get around the extension issue [TS]

00:04:23 ◼   ► when i'm reading the metadata from an [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► m4a file i create a symlink to it with a [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► dot m4a extension read the file name [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► read the data off of that and then [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► delete the symlink and it was at those [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► parts that i was getting a lot of [TS]

00:04:37 ◼   ► crashes all of a sudden in 10 3 so [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► something's up with the way my app and [TS]

00:04:43 ◼   ► or the metadata parsing library we in [TS]

00:04:46 ◼   ► iOS deals with me creating these [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► symlinks or writing these little tiny [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► temp files to don't actually include the [TS]

00:04:53 ◼   ► whole file and it was causing the whole [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► thing to crash sometimes so I [TS]

00:04:56 ◼   ► temporarily remove that support and left [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► in only my own ID 3.mp3 parser which [TS]

00:05:02 ◼   ► supports mp3 chapters which is what this [TS]

00:05:03 ◼   ► show uses because that I could do all in [TS]

00:05:06 ◼   ► memory with my own safe routines but at [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► some point I have to figure out how to [TS]

00:05:11 ◼   ► re-implement support for AAC chapters [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► and for the lack of them I apologize to [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► the entire nation of Germany and I I'm [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► hopefully hoping to get that done [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► quickly but right now that's there's a [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► big problem with that and I think it [TS]

00:05:25 ◼   ► actually might be related to some bug's [TS]

00:05:27 ◼   ► somewhere whether it's minor apples I'm [TS]

00:05:29 ◼   ► not sure regarding the file system [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► because it did not happen before 10 3 [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► why don't you try switching from some [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► links to our links and see if that just [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► magically fixes it well I was thinking [TS]

00:05:40 ◼   ► that that's I'm not sure I want to even [TS]

00:05:41 ◼   ► still be dealing with links i think the [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► the better long-term wealth the longest [TS]

00:05:47 ◼   ► term fix is to write my own parser but [TS]

00:05:49 ◼   ► the the problem is when i get in too far [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► into this again the the AAC chapters [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► format is completely undocumented and [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► proprietary to Apple there you can I've [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► tried to figure it out on numerous times [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► in numerous occasions in the past and [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► I've gotten most of it but it's really [TS]

00:06:09 ◼   ► really tricky and really undocumented [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► and it like the end of the bits of data [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► that you need are all over the file they [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► aren't even all up front like there's [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► interspersed throughout the entire file [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► because there it's it's structured in [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► such a way that like as it's playing a [TS]

00:06:25 ◼   ► track like if it's playing a stream of a [TS]

00:06:27 ◼   ► track like if if say the chapter changes [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► and the chapter includes a URL at an [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► image then the URL and image are like [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► splice [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► into the stream at that point in the [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► audio data so it might not like what so [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► you can't so exactly this is why this [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► format sucks so you can't even and out [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► that same like splicing format also [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► applies to the titles of the chapters so [TS]

00:06:50 ◼   ► you cannot build a table of contents [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► reliably from an AAC chapter file unless [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► you have the whole file because you have [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► to skip through the whole thing to get [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► all the titles out that's bananas yes I [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► know it's a huge pain in the mp3 chapter [TS]

00:07:04 ◼   ► 4 chapter format it's based on id3 tags [TS]

00:07:06 ◼   ► which are very very crude but very very [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► simple to deal with and they have a lot [TS]

00:07:11 ◼   ► of limitations it's very similar to like [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► our SS vs atom feed formats like back in [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► the day like RSS is really simple and [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► hence the name but you know it had it [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► had some limitations and Adam was [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► designed to like be everything to [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► everybody and as a result it's overly [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► complicated and a huge pain in the butt [TS]

00:07:30 ◼   ► and that's that's kind of mp3 versus the [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► mob format which is what AC and I'm for [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► a that's that's all just renaming [TS]

00:07:37 ◼   ► reading versions of the mouth format [TS]

00:07:39 ◼   ► basically asterisk but basically once [TS]

00:07:41 ◼   ► again humans he's trying to say move he [TS]

00:07:43 ◼   ► means a file that ends in da mov just [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► just so you're not like wasn't even [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► saying because I know that's happening [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► that's a color isn't that my mom has the [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► ross ram yeah wow yeah so anyway that's [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► a that is my possible a PFS bug and [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► overcast and also why anybody listening [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► why your chapters in mob format podcast [TS]

00:08:03 ◼   ► might have stopped working in the recent [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► update yeah that doesn't sound like an a [TS]

00:08:06 ◼   ► PFS thing but who knows it is a new file [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► system and if it is related to like it's [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► not it's not the kind that people are [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► talking about in the release notes cuz [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► they're all talking about encoding [TS]

00:08:13 ◼   ► filename encoding issues but I'm [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► assuming when you make these temp files [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► you're making able to ASCII file name so [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► it's totally not an issue here yeah it's [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► like like the file name is like is the [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► ID number of the of the file dot m4a now [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► and so the other possible quick solution [TS]

00:08:25 ◼   ► if I want to do just a quick solution [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► just save all the files as dot m4a even [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► when they're not and like and just you [TS]

00:08:31 ◼   ► know have a migration that runs on the [TS]

00:08:33 ◼   ► first launch of the new version that [TS]

00:08:34 ◼   ► just renamed them all and just doesn't [TS]

00:08:36 ◼   ► do any kind of hard linking or simply [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► can just permanently leave them as those [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► names but then that will break the mp3 [TS]

00:08:41 ◼   ► file decode or sometimes under certain [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► conditions so it's like it and and the [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► m4a / AC / mob / move [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► are all like that format is last time I [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► checked it was like less than five [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► percent of all items in the iTunes [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► directory I'm so so it's like I think I [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► think you mean the Apple podcast [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► directory oh god you're right it's been [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► like two hours all right so yeah in the [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► in the Apple podcast directory the vast [TS]

00:09:08 ◼   ► majority well over ninety percent the [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► format is mp3 so to do a whole bunch of [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► work to accommodate AAC files in a [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► special way especially chapter eyes ones [TS]

00:09:17 ◼   ► it's a we're talking a very small number [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► of podcast I'm guessing off the top of [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► my head the total number of podcasts [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► that are both chapter eyes and m4a [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► format and that ever listened to by [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► anybody and overcast is probably less [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► than a hundred maybe even less than 10 [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► and so it's like it's it's a question of [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► whether I actually should do anything [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► about this or not president like ninety [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► percent of the podcast in Germany seen [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► and the Germans do use chapters heavily [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► and a few of them do use AAC chapters [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► but a lot of the news mp3 chapters or [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► other formats that I don't even support [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► like the pod love simple chapters format [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► which there's a wonderful idea but [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► there's just I don't have a lot of [TS]

00:09:57 ◼   ► market push to support it really yet the [TS]

00:10:01 ◼   ► idea behind that by the way pile have [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► simple chapters which is the idea [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► basically is to put the chapter [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► information in the feed rather than the [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► individual files and that's a great idea [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► but there's just there's almost no [TS]

00:10:12 ◼   ► support for it on on either side on the [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► producer side on the CMS side or on the [TS]

00:10:18 ◼   ► you know podcast app player side so [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► that's I don't know what I'm going to do [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► about that if anything but uh chapters I [TS]

00:10:26 ◼   ► don't know I waded into this chapter [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► mess and now making a chapter tool now [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► man this chapter app and now I'm stuck [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► with parsing chapters forever chapters [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► all the way down it is I do love the [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► Germans though they are great bringing [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► it back around talking more more [TS]

00:10:40 ◼   ► directly about a PFS Kyle South grey [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► otherwise known as Kyle's the gray had [TS]

00:10:45 ◼   ► tweeted at us a very interesting pair of [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► screenshots so he writes here's my iOS [TS]

00:10:52 ◼   ► disks before and after upgrading to 10 [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► dot 3 so it shows in the before that he [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► has [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► a capacity or it's eight of his discs or [TS]

00:11:03 ◼   ► eighty-six percent full ninety [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► one-percent fall in twenty percent full [TS]

00:11:06 ◼   ► after upgrade the same discs go from [TS]

00:11:09 ◼   ► eighty six to forty percent from and [TS]

00:11:12 ◼   ► then from twenty to eight percent full [TS]

00:11:15 ◼   ► which means somewhere out of nowhere he [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► now has more free space thanks to a PFS [TS]

00:11:21 ◼   ► you're looking at the wrong column in [TS]

00:11:23 ◼   ► these screenshots that's a mime I bet [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► yes it's a lot of numbers will put the [TS]

00:11:26 ◼   ► link and the chances tweet and you can [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► look at the screenshot so the [TS]

00:11:29 ◼   ► percentages are different right but okay [TS]

00:11:31 ◼   ► this is this the output of like DF or [TS]

00:11:33 ◼   ► whatever and the key thing to look at [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► like so there are some partitions that [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► are not interesting to us like dev for [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► the dev of s and the one at the bottom [TS]

00:11:42 ◼   ► which is like a baseband data for [TS]

00:11:45 ◼   ► wireless or whatever but there are you [TS]

00:11:47 ◼   ► can see the the OS and user partitions [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► and the key column is size before iOS 10 [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► the size of the first one which is [TS]

00:32:43 ◼   ► though i don't have a US pc laptop i can [TS]

00:32:44 ◼   ► tell you i will miss having magsafe [TS]

00:32:46 ◼   ► because it saved my bacon a bunch of [TS]

00:33:08 ◼   ► great you need a you know magsafe four [TS]

00:33:10 ◼   ► cups of water but within [TS]

00:33:11 ◼   ► that yeah that is true yeah so the [TS]

00:33:14 ◼   ► reason I think you should not be excited [TS]

00:33:15 ◼   ► about it is because as we've said my [TS]

00:33:17 ◼   ► time apple patents everything patents [TS]

00:33:18 ◼   ► have no real bearing on anything that [TS]

00:33:20 ◼   ► Apple were produced especially if you [TS]

00:33:21 ◼   ► see the pattern before the product gets [TS]

00:33:23 ◼   ► a good chance that there's not a product [TS]

00:33:24 ◼   ► related to that but the reason I put it [TS]

00:33:26 ◼   ► in here is not because I think apple [TS]

00:33:28 ◼   ► will make such thing although belkin and [TS]

00:33:30 ◼   ► a few other companies i think actually [TS]

00:33:31 ◼   ► do make this exact thing that you're [TS]

00:33:32 ◼   ► seeing here which is like a little thing [TS]

00:33:36 ◼   ► mag safety kind of magnet snap off e [TS]

00:33:38 ◼   ► thing on the end yeah Griffin is the one [TS]

00:33:42 ◼   ► it's not very well regarded yeah but [TS]

00:33:46 ◼   ► it's the same idea though it's just that [TS]

00:33:47 ◼   ► the implementation may not be good visit [TS]

00:33:49 ◼   ► is actually tricky to get this stuff [TS]

00:33:50 ◼   ► right the reason I think it's [TS]

00:33:52 ◼   ► interesting is because that back when we [TS]

00:33:54 ◼   ► knew they were dropping magsafe oh but [TS]

00:34:06 ◼   ► connectors will this yank out just as [TS]

00:34:08 ◼   ► easily as magsafe does because it's a [TS]

00:34:09 ◼   ► whole new connector it's not like a big [TS]

00:34:11 ◼   ► USB a connector you know who sees who [TS]

00:34:13 ◼   ► knows what it'll be like but now that we [TS]

00:34:15 ◼   ► all have experience with us bc it was [TS]

00:34:17 ◼   ► pretty safe to say it does not come out [TS]

00:34:19 ◼   ► as easily as matic safe in any way shape [TS]

00:34:21 ◼   ► or form and that the hazard of tripping [TS]

00:34:24 ◼   ► over your cord that's connected through [TS]

00:34:26 ◼   ► USB see to your laptop is back it used [TS]

00:34:29 ◼   ► to be mostly gone with magsafe depending [TS]

00:34:31 ◼   ► on the angle that you trip over it on [TS]

00:34:33 ◼   ► but now the danger is back and i think [TS]

00:34:37 ◼   ► USBC kind of like air pods is one of [TS]

00:34:40 ◼   ► those little things that seems like oh [TS]

00:34:42 ◼   ► whatever you know wireless earphones or [TS]

00:34:44 ◼   ► you know magnet instead of plugging in [TS]

00:34:45 ◼   ► and that seems nice but i think magsafe [TS]

00:34:48 ◼   ► is was mostly universally beloved the [TS]

00:34:51 ◼   ► only complaints i ever heard about [TS]

00:34:52 ◼   ► magsafe were from couch chargers people [TS]

00:34:55 ◼   ► who use their you know think connected [TS]

00:34:57 ◼   ► on the couch or like with a big [TS]

00:34:58 ◼   ► comforter or blanket and they would say [TS]

00:34:59 ◼   ► it was a little bit too loose in it like [TS]

00:35:01 ◼   ► they would knock it out unintentionally [TS]

00:35:03 ◼   ► but that's the only bad thing i've ever [TS]

00:35:04 ◼   ► heard of a magsafe and for a connector [TS]

00:35:07 ◼   ► and a technology that looks if you if [TS]

00:35:09 ◼   ► you just you know look at it it looks [TS]

00:35:10 ◼   ► like weird and delicate in the same way [TS]

00:35:13 ◼   ► the lightning does and it like you're [TS]

00:35:15 ◼   ► looking it's like so it's a magnet and [TS]

00:35:16 ◼   ► these you know this little tiny set of [TS]

00:35:18 ◼   ► contacts inside there and all the power [TS]

00:35:21 ◼   ► to this laptop is going through these [TS]

00:35:22 ◼   ► tiny little pinprick point things [TS]

00:35:24 ◼   ► that just seems so much less robust and [TS]

00:35:27 ◼   ► what if stuff gets in there and so on [TS]

00:35:28 ◼   ► and so forth but I've had Meg site from [TS]

00:35:30 ◼   ► many many devices and still have it on [TS]

00:35:32 ◼   ► many of them and I still think it's a [TS]

00:35:34 ◼   ► great idea well executed again you know [TS]

00:35:37 ◼   ► modulo the the the looseness of like [TS]

00:35:40 ◼   ► magsafe 2 and and other issues like that [TS]

00:35:43 ◼   ► and I think it's pretty beloved I think [TS]

00:35:45 ◼   ► people like a couple products because [TS]

00:35:47 ◼   ► they have magsafe it was another one of [TS]

00:35:48 ◼   ► those Apple things like that makes it [TS]

00:35:50 ◼   ► better than just a regular laptop and [TS]

00:35:52 ◼   ► when it went away and when we discovered [TS]

00:35:54 ◼   ► that there is no real replacement for it [TS]

00:35:55 ◼   ► is just like well that advantage is now [TS]

00:35:57 ◼   ► gone you know it was it was kind of it [TS]

00:36:00 ◼   ► kind of made their laptops worse in a [TS]

00:36:02 ◼   ► way and in some tiny way it made their [TS]

00:36:03 ◼   ► laptops worse and Apple having a patent [TS]

00:36:06 ◼   ► like this makes me think that it's very [TS]

00:36:10 ◼   ► least somewhere inside the company they [TS]

00:36:11 ◼   ► said can we go all USBC but also retain [TS]

00:36:16 ◼   ► the advantages of magsafe somehow by you [TS]

00:36:19 ◼   ► know but by the answer to everything [TS]

00:36:20 ◼   ► that is the answer in the world of us bc [TS]

00:36:22 ◼   ► which is let's make an adapter and so [TS]

00:36:24 ◼   ► and so they did and patented it but you [TS]

00:36:27 ◼   ► know decided not to ship it for whatever [TS]

00:36:29 ◼   ► reason because maybe it's still kind of [TS]

00:36:31 ◼   ► clunky or whatever anyway all this is to [TS]

00:36:33 ◼   ► say that I wish instead of doing this [TS]

00:36:36 ◼   ► adapter and going USBC everywhere and [TS]

00:36:38 ◼   ► they're not shipping this adapter and [TS]

00:36:40 ◼   ► leaving the third parties I wish they [TS]

00:36:41 ◼   ► had come up with magsafe three magsafe [TS]

00:36:43 ◼   ► is too big and clunky and your devices [TS]

00:36:46 ◼   ► are getting thinner and thinner can you [TS]

00:36:47 ◼   ► come up with some other solution that [TS]

00:36:49 ◼   ► also uses magnets that has all the same [TS]

00:36:50 ◼   ► advantages in it we haven't seen a [TS]

00:36:52 ◼   ► patent for that but clearly nothing [TS]

00:36:53 ◼   ► they've shipped reflects that anyway I'm [TS]

00:36:56 ◼   ► saying as I miss magsafe and I wish it [TS]

00:36:57 ◼   ► would come back and it seems like at [TS]

00:36:59 ◼   ► least some contingent inside apple also [TS]

00:37:01 ◼   ► misses magsafe because they tried to do [TS]

00:37:03 ◼   ► something to bring it back if you're [TS]

00:37:05 ◼   ► going to do magsafe on us bc the [TS]

00:37:09 ◼   ► solution is not to have this weird [TS]

00:37:12 ◼   ► little stick out like half inch long [TS]

00:37:15 ◼   ► adapter that you need to also have with [TS]

00:37:22 ◼   ► anything that involves like a rigid [TS]

00:37:24 ◼   ► adapter against a USB port i think is [TS]

00:37:27 ◼   ► not a good idea long-term because it's [TS]

00:37:29 ◼   ► so easily just like you know breaks off [TS]

00:37:31 ◼   ► in the port or something else like all [TS]

00:37:33 ◼   ► those USB hubs that were designed first [TS]

00:37:35 ◼   ► for the macbook one that like literally [TS]

00:37:37 ◼   ► just like a [TS]

00:37:56 ◼   ► Griffin thing that looks just like this [TS]

00:37:58 ◼   ► is I think reinforcing of that to me if [TS]

00:38:07 ◼   ► anymore you're just gonna charge through [TS]

00:38:09 ◼   ► any USBC port then you can't make them [TS]

00:38:12 ◼   ► all magnetic because you know that's not [TS]

00:38:14 ◼   ► how you SBC works but you can do an [TS]

00:38:17 ◼   ► innovation that Microsoft figured out in [TS]

00:38:31 ◼   ► the console in the cable you know in a [TS]

00:38:34 ◼   ► similar location that many cables would [TS]

00:38:38 ◼   ► those drum shape like magnetic [TS]

00:38:40 ◼   ► interference reducer things you know [TS]

00:38:46 ◼   ► breakaway thing that if you pull it the [TS]

00:38:51 ◼   ► you know six inches into a cable [TS]

00:38:53 ◼   ► basically that worked great on the xbox [TS]

00:38:56 ◼   ► and I'm sure you know it wouldn't be [TS]

00:38:58 ◼   ► like the most like visually pristine [TS]

00:39:00 ◼   ► thing but neither are these neither is [TS]

00:39:02 ◼   ► like this road full of crazy adapters we [TS]

00:39:05 ◼   ► have now the adapters are all ugly and [TS]

00:39:06 ◼   ► stupid and clunky right so if you move [TS]

00:39:09 ◼   ► it away from the port by a few inches [TS]

00:39:12 ◼   ► onto the cable you have all the same [TS]

00:39:14 ◼   ► safeties of Mac safe but you get it away [TS]

00:39:18 ◼   ► from the laptop body it then works fine [TS]

00:39:20 ◼   ► in any USBC port and it doesn't require [TS]

00:39:22 ◼   ► the use of these little fragile adapters [TS]

00:39:24 ◼   ► back when we talked about this [TS]

00:39:26 ◼   ► originally this that's actually wasn't [TS]

00:39:29 ◼   ► the most popular know that did you you [TS]

00:39:32 ◼   ► you have this absurd love for that huge [TS]

00:39:34 ◼   ► console that was a great console the [TS]

00:39:37 ◼   ► most common the most common thing that [TS]

00:39:39 ◼   ► people brought up was the opposite of [TS]

00:39:42 ◼   ► having having the magnetic thing at the [TS]

00:39:44 ◼   ► other end like at the other far end [TS]

00:39:45 ◼   ► rather than in the middle somewhere like [TS]

00:39:47 ◼   ► it basically at the part where it plugs [TS]

00:39:48 ◼   ► into the you know the white brick [TS]

00:39:51 ◼   ► singing you know but I think both middle [TS]

00:39:55 ◼   ► and the other end are worse solutions [TS]

00:39:58 ◼   ► than just magsafe three on the on the [TS]

00:39:59 ◼   ► laptop because middle and the other end [TS]

00:40:02 ◼   ► are both much more likely to be in [TS]

00:40:05 ◼   ► inaccessible places you know the end [TS]

00:40:08 ◼   ► that's where the laptop is accessible [TS]

00:40:10 ◼   ► because you can get at the laptop right [TS]

00:40:11 ◼   ► you put a laptop on the desk you have to [TS]

00:40:13 ◼   ► be able to reach the laptop to type on [TS]

00:40:14 ◼   ► it and use the trackpad that means you [TS]

00:40:16 ◼   ► can also reach the part where you plug [TS]

00:40:18 ◼   ► and unplug you know the little plug [TS]

00:40:20 ◼   ► thing and if it comes undone because [TS]

00:40:22 ◼   ► something you know because you yank it [TS]

00:40:24 ◼   ► or something knocks or whatever you just [TS]

00:40:26 ◼   ► plug it right back in like and I think [TS]

00:40:28 ◼   ► part of the experience max it makes good [TS]

00:40:29 ◼   ► is not just the breakaway ability but [TS]

00:40:32 ◼   ► that it is a pleasing way to connect and [TS]

00:40:33 ◼   ► disconnect with a little magnet which is [TS]

00:40:35 ◼   ► a frequent operations in frequently [TS]

00:40:37 ◼   ► someone will trip over very frequently [TS]

00:40:38 ◼   ► you will plug and unplug it and I think [TS]

00:40:40 ◼   ► it's more pleasant to plot even just [TS]

00:40:42 ◼   ► being able to yank it out to unplug it [TS]

00:40:44 ◼   ► and not having to be careful or slide [TS]

00:40:46 ◼   ► straight out or worried about bendings [TS]

00:40:47 ◼   ► or whatever so that's part of what i [TS]

00:40:49 ◼   ► love about Max Ava it's part of the [TS]

00:40:50 ◼   ► reason why I don't like middle because [TS]

00:40:56 ◼   ► is going to tuck behind something's [TS]

00:40:57 ◼   ► gonna be a pain in the butt to try to [TS]

00:40:58 ◼   ► find it again I don't like the other end [TS]

00:41:00 ◼   ► because the other end is probably in a [TS]

00:41:01 ◼   ► power brick it's either in a wall socket [TS]

00:41:02 ◼   ► or at least close to it also harder to [TS]

00:41:05 ◼   ► get to and middle is ugly because you [TS]

00:41:07 ◼   ► know it's it's it's just jongup would [TS]

00:41:09 ◼   ► never like it isn't the big bulge in the [TS]
