00:03:28 ◼   ► see live but we could see the live blogs [TS]

00:03:30 ◼   ► and then shortly after the event Apple [TS]

00:03:32 ◼   ► puts a video of it they put it on their [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► website but if you want a downloadable [TS]

00:03:36 ◼   ► copy of it you can subscribe in iTunes [TS]

00:03:37 ◼   ► to apples podcast feed I think it's just [TS]

00:03:41 ◼   ► called Apple events and there are three [TS]

00:03:43 ◼   ► versions of it this the plain one [TS]

00:03:44 ◼   ► there's one called HD and now there's [TS]

00:03:46 ◼   ► one called 1080p and 1080p one has just [TS]

00:03:49 ◼   ► what it says a big gigantic 1080p [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► version some people on Twitter asking me [TS]

00:03:53 ◼   ► why why do I want the 1080p version of [TS]

00:03:56 ◼   ► this why do I want this thing at all why [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► do I care about the quality didn't I [TS]

00:03:59 ◼   ► just watch this keynote I'd like to have [TS]

00:04:03 ◼   ► sort of backup copies of this stuff [TS]

00:04:05 ◼   ► because I refer back to them sometimes [TS]

00:04:06 ◼   ► years later so I try to save all of the [TS]

00:04:08 ◼   ► videos of all of the Apple events [TS]

00:04:10 ◼   ► because I'm writing something three [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► years from now on I see hey well what [TS]

00:04:13 ◼   ► did what they actually say at the iPad [TS]

00:04:15 ◼   ► introduction and trying to go by your [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► memory or by googling for stories on it [TS]

00:04:20 ◼   ► is difficult I like to have the original [TS]

00:04:22 ◼   ► source material there and why do I need [TS]

00:04:23 ◼   ► the big giant highest quality source [TS]

00:04:25 ◼   ► material like well I'm going to be [TS]

00:04:26 ◼   ► saving something any [TS]

00:04:27 ◼   ► why why don't I save the ice quality [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► version now because sometimes you want [TS]

00:04:31 ◼   ► to read something on a screen in a [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► screenshot now at this point the 1080p [TS]

00:04:34 ◼   ► may actually be like a stretched version [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► and it was only recorded in 720 it's [TS]

00:04:39 ◼   ► hard to tell like the 1080 does look a [TS]

00:04:41 ◼   ► little soft in areas and so it's like [TS]

00:04:44 ◼   ► how much more information are you really [TS]

00:04:45 ◼   ► getting over the regular HD one would [TS]

00:04:47 ◼   ► just closer to 720 I think I just like [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► having the best quality version [TS]

00:04:51 ◼   ► available so I figure it can't hurt and [TS]

00:04:52 ◼   ► yet it's humongous and it's like 5 [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► gigabytes to download this video but I'm [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► going a lot of hard drive space and when [TS]

00:04:58 ◼   ► I run out of space then I'll worry about [TS]

00:04:59 ◼   ► it but what are we up next smoke [TS]

00:05:04 ◼   ► detector my smoke detector so it left [TS]

00:05:07 ◼   ► less last podcast we talked a lot about [TS]

00:05:10 ◼   ► this talking smoke detector I got and [TS]

00:05:12 ◼   ► the problems I had with it activating [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► itself which was eventually tracked to [TS]

00:05:17 ◼   ► the IR sensor and some possible source [TS]

00:05:20 ◼   ► of IR many people questioned my [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► hypothesis that something in the [TS]

00:05:24 ◼   ► neighbor's house was triggering it I [TS]

00:05:26 ◼   ► don't have proof of that all I know is [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► there is line-of-sight right into like a [TS]

00:05:30 ◼   ► room that I know people are going to see [TS]

00:05:32 ◼   ► the lights going on and off so through [TS]

00:05:34 ◼   ► glass with no drapes or anything there [TS]

00:05:36 ◼   ► is actually a line of sight from the [TS]

00:05:37 ◼   ► smoke detector to that window but there [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► are many other sources of IR within the [TS]

00:05:40 ◼   ► house ok people are saying that [TS]

00:05:43 ◼   ► fluorescent lights can sometimes give [TS]

00:05:44 ◼   ► off high hours of all sorts of things [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► like that I know it's not in line of [TS]

00:05:48 ◼   ► sight of any of my television remotes [TS]

00:05:50 ◼   ► and none of my television remotes are [TS]

00:05:51 ◼   ► even pointed towards it but [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► experimentation determined that yes [TS]

00:05:55 ◼   ► really really does activate by IR I can [TS]

00:05:58 ◼   ► take my own remote pointed the thing and [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► hit it and watch it go on so I know that [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► does it and I know it was going on by [TS]

00:06:03 ◼   ► itself when there was no smoke or co2 [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► available so that's the best theory I [TS]

00:06:06 ◼   ► have now many people rode in and we did [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► and told me why don't you just tape over [TS]

00:06:11 ◼   ► the IR sensor that's why I would have [TS]

00:06:14 ◼   ► liked to do that but the IR sensor it's [TS]

00:06:15 ◼   ► buried too deep within this thing and [TS]

00:06:17 ◼   ► it's got vents and slats all around it [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► so since I don't know where the IR is [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► coming from or what it's bouncing off of [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► I would have to cover all of the vents [TS]

00:06:25 ◼   ► and slats with tape and then at that [TS]

00:06:26 ◼   ► point I've disabled the smoke detector [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► because I'm pretty sure those vents are [TS]

00:06:29 ◼   ► important for the smoke to get in to be [TS]

00:06:32 ◼   ► detected so I didn't want to mess with [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► it it's not probably not a good idea to [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► mess with your smoke detector in that [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► way but shortly after the show Matthew [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► Copsey [TS]

00:06:41 ◼   ► we did to me that he knows how to [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► disable the IR sensor and he sent me in [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► the tweet there's like a picture of a [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► webform or something with someone [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► quoting from the user manual so I looked [TS]

00:06:54 ◼   ► at my user manual and I said ah because [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► I had looked in there I said this got to [TS]

00:06:56 ◼   ► be way too disabled as IR sensor and I [TS]

00:06:58 ◼   ► couldn't find it and then I'm like maybe [TS]

00:06:59 ◼   ► I'm just not finding it because my [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► visual grep is not good you ever find [TS]

00:07:03 ◼   ► yourself staring at a piece of paper and [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► reaching for the /ki like you're looking [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► at something less than you want to do a [TS]

00:07:08 ◼   ► search nearly always oh yeah there's no [TS]

00:07:10 ◼   ► search in real life so I pulled up a PDF [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► of the manual by the way this is one of [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► the great uses of the internet / nerds [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► who may be listening to this and you [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► don't know about this you can find [TS]

00:07:19 ◼   ► pretty easily a PDF version of the paper [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► manual for almost any home appliance you [TS]

00:07:24 ◼   ► would think ah who's going to have a PDF [TS]

00:07:25 ◼   ► of my of my smoke detector online that [TS]

00:07:28 ◼   ► that's you know all you need is like the [TS]

00:07:30 ◼   ► model number you just got to write the [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► exact model number maybe they make and [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► then manual then do in your Elko and PDF [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► or just type PDF you will find believe [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► it or not PDF versions of the manual for [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► all your appliances almost all I don't [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► know where they come from I don't know [TS]

00:07:43 ◼   ► if there's one particular site to look [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► forward just type it into Google you'll [TS]

00:07:45 ◼   ► find it and sure enough I found a PDF [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► version of my exact smoke detector I [TS]

00:07:49 ◼   ► open that in preview and did a search [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► and it was um it was actual text it's [TS]

00:07:53 ◼   ► not one of those PDFs it's just like a [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► giant TIFF image of the thing you've [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► seen those ones those you can't search [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► on but this was actual searchable text [TS]

00:08:02 ◼   ► and I searched again for the text that [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► was there anything haven't do the [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► disable or IR or the exact text or the [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► thing so I couldn't find it so somehow I [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► have a smoke detector whose manual does [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► not tell you how to disable the IR [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► sensor but the instructions that Matthew [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► Copsey posted to me actually did work [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► and for the people who might happen to [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► have this smoke detector or another one [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► the secret was take out the batteries [TS]

00:08:24 ◼   ► they're in like the sliding battery [TS]

00:08:25 ◼   ► compartment where you snap the things [TS]

00:08:27 ◼   ► into the battering apartment you sort of [TS]

00:08:28 ◼   ► slide shut like a drawer so pull out the [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► little battery drawer hold down the one [TS]

00:08:33 ◼   ► button that's on this thing which is the [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► silence test whatever a combination [TS]

00:08:37 ◼   ► Luber button hold down the button and [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► then shove the drawer in while you're [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► holding down the button and it will make [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► a little trip like Boop and and then it [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► doesn't say anything to say I are [TS]

00:08:47 ◼   ► disabled or anything but then I tested [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► it by taking my remote and shooting it [TS]

00:08:51 ◼   ► all over the thing and I could not make [TS]

00:08:52 ◼   ► it go up so now the [TS]

00:08:55 ◼   ► talking smoke detector is in its the [TS]

00:08:57 ◼   ► place where we've planned to put it we [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► have not had many false alarm since last [TS]

00:09:01 ◼   ► week and I'm pretty confident that this [TS]

00:09:02 ◼   ► way of disabling the IR sensor actually [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► works so thank you Matthew for that and [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► for other people worried about smoking [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► talk to us smoke detectors talking smoke [TS]

00:09:11 ◼   ► detectors there is hope even if you have [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► an IR sensor to safely disable it [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► oh and Kelly in New Zealand are brought [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► to tell me that they have smoke [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► detectors there that allow you to [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► trigger it by shining a strong light at [TS]

00:09:25 ◼   ► the alarm as he says this is crazy [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► making as there doesn't seem to be any [TS]

00:09:28 ◼   ► predictability about what Delta and [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► light level triggers it it's always a [TS]

00:09:31 ◼   ► good time when it goes off when [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► half-asleep you turn on the bathroom [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► light first thing in the morning [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► so that's even worse than IR something [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► that goes out just from from shining a [TS]

00:09:39 ◼   ► light on it that seems like a terrible [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► idea [TS]

00:09:41 ◼   ► I don't know if that's like New Zealand [TS]

00:09:46 ◼   ► mandated or just something someone came [TS]

00:09:48 ◼   ► up with Greg burns the own wrote in to [TS]

00:09:53 ◼   ► give me suggestions on how to solve my [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► issues with the smart cover I said that [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► if I get a new iPad which I probably [TS]

00:09:59 ◼   ► will eventually I will probably get the [TS]

00:10:02 ◼   ► smart cover for it I have complaints [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► about it but overall I like it and one [TS]

00:10:05 ◼   ► of my complaints was that one of the [TS]

00:10:06 ◼   ► smart cover is open when I flap it [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► around to the back it doesn't sort of [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► stick to the back that well and it's [TS]

00:10:13 ◼   ► thing that's on the back I said I didn't [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► like folding it up but when it's flat a [TS]

00:10:25 ◼   ► with that the first one is or where do I [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► put it when I take it off I don't like [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► now I have two things that to keep track [TS]

00:10:30 ◼   ► of and remember not to leave behind and [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► just finding some place to set it down [TS]

00:10:34 ◼   ► you know it's just it's inconvenient I'm [TS]

00:10:36 ◼   ► thinking of the time when I use the iPad [TS]

00:10:39 ◼   ► the most was the WWC last year I used it [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► like you know hours a day everyday and [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► you just want to have that iPad on your [TS]

00:49:06 ◼   ► more IO right instead of just like you [TS]

00:49:09 ◼   ► know filling one and then filling the [TS]

00:49:10 ◼   ► other okay but I don't know for sure but [TS]
