Jazzercise clinic whatever you call it
[TS]
00:01:02
◼

in Richmond is this like what Richard
[TS]
00:01:04
◼

Simmons did basically no specific thing
[TS]
00:01:08
◼
►
it's got it involves jazz Versailles we
[TS]
00:01:13
◼
►
have a st. Jude fundraiser update at the
[TS]
00:01:16
◼
►
time in which we record it if memory
[TS]
00:01:17
◼
►
serves we were challenging everyone to
[TS]
00:01:19
◼
►
see if we could get to 20,000 dollars I
[TS]
00:01:22
◼
►
believe what's the total we wanted what
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
was it currently at when we said that it
[TS]
00:01:25
◼
►
was like it's like 16 or 17 something
[TS]
00:01:27
◼
►
better right yeah it was like between 17
[TS]
00:01:29
◼
►
and 19 I think so 20 was I think close
[TS]
00:01:31
◼
►
to 17 Tony was certainly attainable but
[TS]
00:01:33
◼
►
I mean $3,000 was a pretty fair bit of
[TS]
00:01:36
◼
►
so we had challenged everyone hey can we
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
get to 20 and within I think 24 hours
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
probably 12 hours of you releasing the
[TS]
00:01:43
◼
►
final version of the show we blew past
[TS]
00:01:45
◼
►
20 which is an excellent problem to have
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
so then I got on Twitter and I believe
[TS]
00:01:50
◼
►
one or both of you had had chimed in on
[TS]
00:01:52
◼
►
this and I just said okay let's see if
[TS]
00:01:54
◼
►
we can do 25 and I felt like 25 is a
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
pretty good reach goal when you're just
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
now hitting 20 and we blew past 25 at
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
this point I feel I felt like I didn't
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
want to be like I didn't want to be
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
obnoxious about it so I kind of cooled
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
off on my solicitations and it might
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
have been for the best because without
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
any solicitations on my part as
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
we record thirty three thousand two
[TS]
00:02:16
◼
►
hundred and fifty eight dollars holy

00:02:18
◼
►

[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
listeners not not by a long shot but if
[TS]
00:02:28
◼
►

[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
heavy upswing in activity after the
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
episode released and that makes that
[TS]
00:02:35
◼
►
genuinely makes me extremely happy

[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
released right at the end of the month
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
and that's when Steven concentrates on

00:02:54
◼
►
it but there is no reason you can't
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
donate again or more or if you haven't

00:03:14
◼

[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
that if we said if they passed 20k we
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
would try to come up with a word to
[TS]
00:03:19
◼
►
describe ATP vans the best answer we got
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
there was tabs because there are
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
thousands of them definitely not I'm not
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
saying we should use it but it was
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
definitely the funniest answer better
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
than eighty peons and eighty peeps both
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
of which are worse than tabs but tabs is
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
also pretty bad I'm still thinking about
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
it I feel like we should fulfill this
[TS]
00:03:42
◼
►
promise but I'm not gonna settle I'm not
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
gonna be like well it's the best we can
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
come up with nope not gonna settle Marco
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
and I are already prepared to settle I
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
don't like tabs at all but I could
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
settle on eighty peons and eighty or
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
eighty peeps
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
no no eighty peons is insulting and deep
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
peep says as eighty peep says too many
[TS]
00:03:58
◼
►
gross things the only one I've come for
[TS]
00:04:00
◼
►
oh yeah that's like force touch yeah so
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
here's what I've come up with so far and
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
I'm not saying this is good but this is
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
the best I've got so far in my in my
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
processing she was why what is this a
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
reference I'm missing she so Sheila's is
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
the generic word I believe some
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
Australian can tell me for for women
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
in Australia for a woman in Australia
[TS]
00:04:22
◼
►
Celia Celia a woman or a girl right and
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
Sheila's but you just out but it doesn't
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
mean that your female listeners this is
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
a generic term it's gender-neutral also
[TS]
00:04:34
◼
►
the tank in red versus blue is a long
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
time ago anyway but that's not a great
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
one but it's the best I've come up with
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
so far and it's mostly just it's it's
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
mostly just me me being angry about
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
Tim's on hello it's 100% what it is but
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
I also think it's fun exercise to allow
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
a group of what we consider to be almost
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
entirely men who listen to the show just
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
doing the idea of being referred to by a
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
in a word that implies a gender that
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
doesn't match yours and that you're just
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
supposed to eat it and say well it's a
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
gender-neutral term it's fine I respect
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
the effort yeah same here and I agree
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
with you on the on principle however
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
it's also terrible agree it's not a good
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
name for listeners unfortunately so far
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
all of the options that we have seen so
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
far are terrible so I think it's
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
probably safe to say we probably just
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
won't be named in our listeners
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
engineering like it's because every
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
option people suggest it was awful I
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
know anyway we wanted a name that really
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
is gender agnostic we could call all the
[TS]
00:05:34
◼
►
listeners Kasey's that's true
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
I know cases of both genders mmm no
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
because I think Casey has a connotation
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
and B says they're not all cases they
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
don't what if they identify as a Marco
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
there what if they're not I Miranda what
[TS]
00:05:45
◼
►
if they're a Samantha I understood that
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
represents everybody
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
Casey is we've been told on a number of
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
occasions that Casey represents well
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
they use a gender term but usually for
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
this but they say Casey represents the
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
every man every woman don't think
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
there's woman every woman is a
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
gender-neutral term who knows but I
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
understand the point you're driving at
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
Marco which is that most people will say
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
I wish I was Marco or I wish I was John
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
but in actuality I'm Casey which is both
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
flattering and kind of depressing Holly
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
what people wish they were Casey now -
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
because he's got a fancy SUV and a BMW
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
the work sometimes doesn't currently
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►

[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
driven it only once in the last week and
[TS]
00:06:30
◼
►
that is going to be
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
we have we have after-show stuff to
[TS]
00:06:34
◼
►
discuss about that yeah okay we yes if

00:06:44
◼
►
follow-up I I am it's funny that this

00:06:48
◼
►
show this episode of the show is really
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
a roller coaster kids because I was on

00:06:54
◼
►
st. Jude donations however now I'm at
[TS]

that nobody would discover which I
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
understand I just hold on this I was

00:07:05
◼
►
hoping no one would discover that the
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
Apple TV 4k does indeed have a fan and
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►

[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
I understand that but like in my fantasy
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
world I was hoping that nobody would
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
know or that John would never find out
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
he would go on the Todd Vaziri full
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
media blackout with regard to the Apple

00:07:21
◼

but I knew two people who had this thing
[TS]
00:08:55
◼
►
so I asked them to confirm and they both
[TS]
00:08:57
◼
►
either said I I don't think so
[TS]
00:09:00
◼
►
I can't tell or it just doesn't seem
[TS]
00:09:02
◼
►
like there's a fan and so when I had the
[TS]
00:09:03
◼
►
Apple employee say definitively there's
[TS]
00:09:05
◼
►
no fan I believe and the this Apple
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
employees excuse was that they couldn't
[TS]
00:09:09
◼
►
tell that they couldn't they thought
[TS]
00:09:11
◼
►
there was no fan because they couldn't
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
hear anything because it was totally
[TS]
00:09:13
◼
►
silent so they're like yeah my bad so
[TS]
00:09:15
◼
►
anyway like it's suspicious because when
[TS]
00:09:16
◼
►
you look at the bottom of it it has a
[TS]
00:09:18
◼
►
round pattern of air holes the previous
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
one had a solid bottom it seemed to have
[TS]
00:09:24
◼
►
no ventilation at all and that's why
[TS]
00:09:26
◼
►
this came up by the way because I was
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
tipped off either during or right after
[TS]
00:09:30
◼
►
the keynote of a public document an
[TS]
00:09:32
◼
►
apple site that showed like the the
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
lineart
[TS]
00:09:34
◼
►
like view of the thing showing the
[TS]
00:09:35
◼
►
measurements and stuff and it showed the
[TS]
00:09:37
◼
►
holes and it's like holes what does that
[TS]
00:09:40
◼
►
mean here I was like I was I was using
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
the Apple TV like letting it play
[TS]
00:09:43
◼
►
content and I lift it up and I I hear
[TS]
00:09:47
◼
►
nothing I like I muted the sound so I'd
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
would be a quiet room lifted up I hear
[TS]
00:09:51
◼
►
nothing I put my hand under events to
[TS]
00:09:54
◼
►
try to see if I could feel air movement
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
I felt nothing and I was like well one
[TS]
00:09:59
◼
►
of these holes for me maybe it's just
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
passively cooling by convection using
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
these holes like with a big heat sink
[TS]
00:10:04
◼
►
inside who knows but I'm like I'm like I
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
really don't think there's a fan here
[TS]
00:10:08
◼
►
but it is weird there's these holes in a
[TS]
00:10:10
◼
►
circular pattern here that would be
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
perfect if you had a fan behind it but I
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
could feel or hear nothing yeah and I'm
[TS]
00:10:17
◼
►
not quite sure even after seeing the
[TS]
00:10:18
◼
►
teardown like you know a convection or a
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
passive cooling with holes like that
[TS]
00:10:22
◼
►
makes traffic sounds a lot of things we
[TS]
00:10:23
◼
►
don't like that but there's no holes on
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
the top of this right it's only holes on
[TS]
00:10:26
◼
►
the bottom yeah it seems like there's no
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
intake holes but so my theory here like
[TS]
00:10:30
◼
►
if you ever done any kind of like you
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
know PC building with heatsink design
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
you know that or just if you have better
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
grasp on science than me you probably
[TS]
00:10:38
◼
►
already know this as well but but you
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
know that like you know a passive just a
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
heatsink with no fan on it when you
[TS]
00:10:44
◼
►
compare the cooling power of that to a
[TS]
00:10:47
◼
►
heatsink that has even a little slight
[TS]
00:10:49
◼
►
bit of air movement being pushed over it
[TS]
00:10:51
◼
►
it's a huge difference like even you can
[TS]
00:10:54
◼
►
have a fan running at incredibly low
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
speed and that will make a big
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
difference
[TS]
00:10:59
◼
►
for instance from having no fan at all
[TS]
00:11:01
◼
►
so I'm guessing this fan is probably
[TS]
00:11:04
◼
►
dynamically controlled first of all so I
[TS]
00:11:05
◼
►
bet when I felt nothing under there I
[TS]
00:11:07
◼
►
bet it actually wasn't spinning or it
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
was spinning at a ridiculously low speed
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
and maybe only if you're like really
[TS]
00:11:12
◼
►
pushing it hard like using 3d stuff in a
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
game maybe that's when it spins up but
[TS]
00:11:17
◼
►
like playing 4k video it was not doing
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
anything noticeable so I'm guessing it's
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
just a very low speed fan that might
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
have even not been spinning at all
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
during that during video playback
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
I bet it's always spending but that's
[TS]
00:11:28
◼
►
just a guess but anyway when I get this
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
thing I will tell you if I can hear it
[TS]
00:11:32
◼
►
and the reason you should believe me
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
that oh no it's because marco sent me an
[TS]
00:11:37
◼
►
airport router that he didn't want
[TS]
00:11:39
◼
►
anymore
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
that has a fan in and i was like off and
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
i knew it had a fan in it I'm like I
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
don't know if I want this thing with the
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
fan he sent it to me and as I think I
[TS]
00:11:47
◼
►
said on the show when I got it it has a
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
fan but the only way I can hear it is
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
that I literally shove my ear like so it
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
is touching the bottom of the device
[TS]
00:11:56
◼
►
that is the only and I can hear it when
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
I do that I can hear that it's turning
[TS]
00:11:59
◼
►
but in every other scenario I cannot
[TS]
00:12:02
◼
►
hear not like oh I can hear it family
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
you can turn off every device in my
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
house close all the windows make sure
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
everything is dead silent and I can be
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
two feet away from it and I can't hear a
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
damn thing so if the Apple TV is even
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
remotely is quiet because it is like 10
[TS]
00:12:15
◼
►
feet away from me it might in my TV
[TS]
00:12:17
◼
►
entertainment center it'll be fine that
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
said if I put it up to my ear and
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
actually physically touched in my ear I
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
expect to be able to hear it if the fan
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
is moving so we'll see I'm gonna get
[TS]
00:12:26
◼
►
mine mine's delivering next week so next
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
show I will be able to give you an
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
answer mmm-hmm I'm skeptical I feel like
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
you've been but I think it's like I'm
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
getting on this I won't care if I can
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
hear it when I put up to me air because
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
I can't hear what if I can't hear it the
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
same thing I don't care about my airport
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
thing I don't care that I can shove that
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
to my ear it's not you know it's not a
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
communicator that's I have to jam it to
[TS]
00:12:47
◼
►
my ear it's way over there so I'm
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
perfectly happy to have fans that I
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
literally can't hear we'll see I expect
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
the truth the whole truth and nothing
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
but the truth I will give it to you I
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
wasn't imarco like stick a toothpick in
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
there and if something hits it great
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
idea this is before they had the
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
teardown I'm like look is there a fan
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
there is there no fan is there a fan
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►

[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
literally no fan
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
we know the answer we just don't know
[TS]

tell me about downloading movies from
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
iTunes is that a thing
[TS]
00:15:04
◼
►
on this box not 4k ones apparently this
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
is for Apple support document you can
[TS]
00:15:09
◼
►
download a local copy of an HD movie by
[TS]
00:15:11
◼
►
the way I hate the fact that they Qi
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
doesn't refer to 4k because what is 4k
[TS]
00:15:14
◼
►
if not high definition or even higher
[TS]
00:15:16
◼
►
definition anyway what is HiFi yeah yeah
[TS]
00:15:19
◼
►
and you might be able to download I hope
[TS]
00:15:22
◼
►
this this is the
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
you can download a local copy of HD
[TS]
00:15:25
◼
►
movie and you might be able to download
[TS]
00:15:27
◼
►
HDR and dolby vision versions what do
[TS]
00:15:30
◼
►
you mean I might like maybe you'll let
[TS]
00:15:32
◼
►
me maybe you won't
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
that's from Apple support document it
[TS]
00:15:34
◼
►
says you might be able to do this yes
[TS]
00:15:36
◼
►
maybe summer download right it says then
[TS]
00:15:38
◼
►
finally the last Clause but you can't
[TS]
00:15:41
◼
►
download a 4k version now why can't I
[TS]
00:15:43
◼
►
download a 4k version I have some
[TS]
00:15:45
◼
►
theories in this the one theory that
[TS]
00:15:47
◼
►
people have put forward is like oh the
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
4k versions are too big and he has
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
previously discussed and lamented
[TS]
00:15:52
◼
►
theoretical fixed size where you can
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
download stuff is not big enough to fit
[TS]
00:15:55
◼
►
a single 4k movie or it would take up
[TS]
00:15:57
◼
►
all the space right it's like oh there's
[TS]
00:15:59
◼
►
too big download I don't think that's
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
the case especially if they're they're a
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
TVC they shouldn't be that much you know
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
they shouldn't be like 50 gigabytes
[TS]
00:16:06
◼
►
versus 5 they should be bigger than the
[TS]
00:16:08
◼
►
HD ones but not like so big that you
[TS]
00:16:11
◼
►
can't download a single one of them
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
although maybe they just say look one of
[TS]
00:16:14
◼
►
them is so big it would take up all your
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
space and we don't want to do that right
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
another possibility is that as always
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
yeah I always have this as a possibility
[TS]
00:16:22
◼
►
is that content owners are stupid and
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
like you know we can't let them download
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
the 4k version because then people might
[TS]
00:16:28
◼
►
be able to pirate our movies and as long
[TS]
00:16:30
◼
►
as we stop them from downloading the 4k
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
DRM ik encumbered version of our movies
[TS]
00:16:34
◼
►
to their Apple TVs there's no way anyone
[TS]
00:16:36
◼
►
will ever pirate this movie and will be
[TS]
00:16:37
◼
►
safe from piracy so please don't let
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
anybody download like that's definitely
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
it that's definitely the answer like
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
it's such a dumb thing like so in this
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
day and age where people you know anyway
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
we don't know why but the bottom line is
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
if you were thinking that you're going
[TS]
00:16:51
◼

to be able to get to buy the Big Apple

00:16:54
◼

TV so that you could download a 4k movie
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
and then watch it offline on your Apple
[TS]
00:16:58
◼
►
TV you will not be able to because the
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
Apple TV will not download the 4k
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
versions of movies to local storage it
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
will only stream it that's dumb
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
I don't like it so once again why is the
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
64 gig version what they up the limits
[TS]
00:17:14
◼
►
by the way on games it used to be like
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
you could download like 200 megabytes
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
and then you could download chunks of
[TS]
00:17:19
◼
►
on-demand content they upped it way more
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
so then you can download like a gigabyte
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
or more or something anyway in theory
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
you could make very large games in
[TS]
00:17:27
◼
►
Apple's fantasy world of the Apple TV as
[TS]
00:17:30
◼

an actual gaming console you could fill
[TS]
00:17:32
◼

the whole thing with games so tell me
[TS]
00:17:34

about bootcamp because Randy Garcia has
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
written in
[TS]
00:17:37
◼
►
to point out to us that as we kiss was
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
John I think brought up airpower as a
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
kind of military term that's being used
[TS]
00:17:46
◼
►
by Apple as a product name which by the
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
way somebody did we talked about this
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
last episode somebody said it should
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
have been called apple juice somebody on
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
Twitter said this like right when it was
[TS]
00:17:55
◼
►
announced and I think that would have
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
been a terrible but much better name at
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
the same time but that would have been
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
hilarious but anyway so so Randy
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
Garcia's written in to say that boot
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
camp is another military term that Apple
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
is used in somebody maybe Randy has
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
provided a deeply troubling video of

00:18:12
◼

Steve Jobs many years ago trying to act
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
do you want to tell us about this John
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
yeah boot camp is the one hadn't thought
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
of it's a good thing a good because I
[TS]
00:18:21
◼
►
couldn't recall a single or Apple
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
product that had military determinant
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
although I would say that boot camp has
[TS]
00:18:26
◼
►
got have been co-opted and made secular
[TS]
00:18:29
◼
►
secular sort of non military civilian
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
yeah made civilian in a way that air
[TS]
00:18:35
◼
►
power has not because now you have like
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
you know they have Jazzercise boot camps
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
and programming boot camps and
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
everything is a boot camp like it's
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
basically just a training place and I
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
guess they're still riffing on the
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
military one but anyway the other thing
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
is i disqualified because it is internal
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
only company communication and I don't
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
know if you've if you work at a big
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
company you've probably experienced
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
communication targeted made by
[TS]
00:19:02
◼
►
corporations targeted at their own
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
employees and they're usually pretty
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
awful and you may think that Apple is an
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
exception but I can tell you that bond
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
the 80s and 90s definitely was not an
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
exception there is a vast collection of
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
internal audio and video content created
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
by Apple for Apple's employees only
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
that is cringe-worthy and hilarious and
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
someone's good fun to write it's usually
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
just a bunch of engineers or a bunch of
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
people in HR making a video with like
[TS]
00:19:30
◼
►
80s video technology like they didn't
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
they didn't have an iMac with iMovie on
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
it they had like you know Betamax and
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
VHS and probably fancier professional
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
video stuff and they didn't have actors
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
they had just like their employees and I
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
think the one in question is Steve Jobs
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
are tending to be FDR or
[TS]
00:19:49
◼
►
I believe that's right I think it was
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
FDR anyway you can watch in YouTube if
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
you want to be said about internal
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
corporate communications but rest
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
assured Apple was no exception and
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
probably continues to be no exception
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
that they can make cool things
[TS]
00:20:01
◼
►
externally but their internal facing
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
corporate videos are not quite at the
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
same standard our final piece of follow
[TS]
00:20:10
◼
►
up today is from a friend of the show
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
Sam but well submit who is of the wheel
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
bearings podcast this is all going to
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
come up again later in the after show
[TS]
00:20:16
◼
►
this was with regard to our comments
[TS]
00:20:19
◼
►
about the Acura TLX that I had driven or
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
excuse me had ridden in he wrote to us
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
to say with regard to the comments about
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
the DCT the torque converters mounted
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
between the flywheel and the dual clutch
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
pack and intended to provide some torque
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
multiplication and smooth out the shifts
[TS]
00:20:34
◼
►
a bit it's work but it's nothing to get
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
worked up about and he provided a link
[TS]
00:20:38
◼
►
to some more info that strikes me as
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
super freakin weird like the whole
[TS]
00:20:42
◼
►
reason I tend to hate automatics is
[TS]
00:20:44
◼
►
because of that like that mushy feeling
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
that a torque converter brings and I
[TS]
00:20:48
◼
►
understand the motivation here the
[TS]
00:20:49
◼
►
motivation makes sense but it's just
[TS]
00:20:51
◼
►
you're taking away the one thing I love
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
about a DCT which is that I feel it
[TS]
00:20:55
◼
►
feels more direct to me than a
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
traditional automatic the one but if I
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
could see here is that when you're
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
driving a DCT the shifting between like
[TS]
00:21:03
◼
►
first and second like when you drew it
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
when you're going at low speeds and then
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
you're using like first and second gear
[TS]
00:21:08
◼
►
that can be very jerky just like if you
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
do it in a stick you know if you're
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
selling into a market that is accustomed
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
to automatics that might feel too jerky
[TS]
00:21:15
◼
►
to them yeah if you're selling to sick
[TS]
00:21:17
◼
►
people it's gonna feel perfectly awesome
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
and normal but if you're stiff you're
[TS]
00:21:20
◼
►
selling to automatic people I see why
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
they would do that I agree with you
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
though that like at that point why not
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
just use you know really good eight or
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
nine speed Auto and maybe that's why
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
they're premium option is just a nine
[TS]
00:21:31
◼
►
area to beat auto like and but again
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
like I would prefer a DCT that's just a
[TS]
00:21:37
◼
►
DCT without anything in front of it but
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
I do see like for the market they're
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
selling why they do that but it just
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
doesn't make sense to me that they would
[TS]
00:21:44
◼
►
bother with a DCT at all at that point I
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
think there's a limitation of current D
[TS]
00:21:49
◼
►
cities that they can't be that smooth
[TS]
00:21:51
◼
►
down at low speeds right because if
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
someone using a manual can be right they
[TS]
00:21:55
◼
►
just slip the clutch more like you could
[TS]
00:21:57
◼
►
yeah start and stop as smooth as you
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
want and apparently that's not within
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
the realm of not within the functional
[TS]
00:22:03
◼
►
envelope of modern DC's most of which
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
are tuned shift very fast like it the
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
you know for at the higher speeds like
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
but not so much tuned for creeping out
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
of parking lot and rounding the corner
[TS]
00:22:13
◼
►
around a residential Road and you get a
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
little bit of a bump and the TLX again
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
trying to split the difference between
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
the tsx and the TL and erroring on the
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
side of being boring as always went
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
further they went for it like the most
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
important thing is not to jostle the
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
occupants so they took a sporty
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
transmission and put a little bit of
[TS]
00:22:32
◼
►
slush in between it in the wheels to
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
smooth things out at low speeds maybe it
[TS]
00:22:37
◼
►
would be better if like if that if the
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
torque converter wasn't a factor at
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
higher speeds or anything but either way
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
like it's such a sort of Frankenstein
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
setup that yeah it is it does seem much
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
cleaner to either I've lucky either got
[TS]
00:22:49
◼
►
an automatic or you go stick or a DCT
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
and they all have their own behaviors
[TS]
00:22:53
◼
►
and trying to combine them into sort of
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
a hybrid suspension with the best of all
[TS]
00:22:56
◼
►
worlds is just kind of papering over the
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
flaws like it used to be when we had
[TS]
00:23:00
◼
►
single clutch automated manuals that
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
they were super rough right and there
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
was slow shifting and very jerky and a
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
dual clutch really helped because you
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
could have the other gear set ready to
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
go and swap very quickly without the
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
harshness right but apparently there's
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
still problems at low speed and so I
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
feel like in you know another 5-10 years
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
they work out the details and ECC's
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
maybe they won't need a hack like this
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
but anyway like it's not a great car
[TS]
00:23:24
◼
►
anyway should there are a lot of better
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
choices in that question that we've now
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
lost all of the listeners who don't
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
really care about cars so sorry everyone
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
you can come back now we're back and
[TS]
00:23:35
◼
►
we're gonna talk ask ATP so let's begin
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
with Colin we're who writes John's rant
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
about tech people forgetting betas that
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
forgetting that betas are betas reminded
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
me of a question I have a lot of the
[TS]
00:23:47
◼
►
times on iOS betas I will find bugs and
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
apps that I report to developers to say
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
hey this doesn't work on the iOS 11 beta
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
I usually get a response along the line
[TS]
00:23:55
◼
►
so if yes this is a beta betas aren't
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
supported and then I'll often see rants
[TS]
00:23:59
◼
►
from people like top BOTS paul
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
complaining about people saying things
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
are broken on betas but an inherent part
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
of the beta experience is reporting bugs
[TS]
00:24:06
◼
►
in fact that's the reason betas exist so
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
if I want to be a good citizen and beta
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
user and report issues I find how can I
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
do it without annoying
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
this is pretty simple really so you know
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
when you're on a beta keep in mind that
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
in some cases the developer has I've had
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
time to fix the bug that you are
[TS]
00:24:23
◼
►
reporting because like the beta just
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
came out and they got at the same time
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
you did in a lot of cases the developer
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
can't fix the bug that you're reporting
[TS]
00:24:30
◼
►
until the GM SDK comes out which could
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
be months later right before the GM
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
Arena right before the the version is
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
released to the public so mainly because
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
you we can't submit builds to the App
[TS]
00:24:41
◼
►
Store that use the beta SDK until the GM
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
is out the apps won't accept them so if
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
you're telling someone that this is
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
broken in the form of like a complaint
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
like I demand that you fix us quickly
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
dammit that's really frustrating for
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
developers to hear because they they
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
probably you know had they probably know
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
about that already and they probably
[TS]
00:25:02
◼
►
can't fix it yet or have had a chance to
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
fix it yet and they you know it doesn't
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
really matter because it still a beta if
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
you are trying to leave it asked to
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
review in some ways fortunately iOS has
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
has prevented this in recent versions
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
like usually you aren't you aren't able
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
to leave reviews from betas anymore from
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
beta iOS anymore which is nice that
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
would also be a thing not to do but if
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
you're just telling somebody in a civil
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
way like hey there's this bug I I
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
thought you might want to know about it
[TS]
00:25:25
◼

that's totally fine and we as developers
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
need that and I appreciate that that's
[TS]
00:25:30
◼
►
good so as long as it's not a one-star
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
review or using the tone or freezing of
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
like a complaint that you expect it to
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
be fixed all of a sudden it's fine well
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
I think the key part here is like how do
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
I be a good beta user and what are you
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
Abeyta userupp if you're a beta user of
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
the operating system you should report
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
it be reporting bugs to Apple not to
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
third-party developers the only way you
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
should be reporting bugs to third-party
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
developers is if you are on like the
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
overcast beta and Marco wants to know
[TS]
00:25:56
◼
►
here's a beta of overcast how does it
[TS]
00:25:58
◼
►
work and in that case mark will probably
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
tell you I want you to test this beta on
[TS]
00:26:03
◼
►
a released version of the operating
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
system right because know no third-party
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
developers are going to support their
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
applications on unreleased versions of
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
the operating system they're gonna they
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
may ask they may use it themselves and
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
ask their beta testers to use it but
[TS]
00:26:16
◼
►
they really want to know how is this
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
going to work on the real release
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
version so if you're not a beta tester
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
of the application you're reporting bugs
[TS]
00:26:23
◼
►
on you don't have to feel like you have
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
to be a good beta citizen because you
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
not on that beta if your beta testing
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
iOS the way to be a good citizen is
[TS]
00:26:31
◼
►
report bugs you find in the OS now does
[TS]
00:26:35
◼
►
Apple want to know that some third-party
[TS]
00:26:37
◼
►
application you have doesn't work on it
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
probably not but you know it's a giant
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
black hole throw over whatever bug
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
reports you want let them do with what
[TS]
00:26:48
◼
►
they want but I would say that what
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
Apple is looking for are bugs in the
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
operating system itself of which they
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
are usually plenty and if you want to be
[TS]
00:26:55
◼
►
a good basis and you want to report bugs
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
do that right but and if you want to
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
report bugs on a third-party iOS apps
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
talk to the developer and say hey can I
[TS]
00:27:04
◼
►
be on your beta program the next time
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
you have a beta ready send it to me and
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
I will try it and report bugs and they
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
would appreciate that everything John
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
just said is wrong thank you Wow what
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
are you trying to say you don't you
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
don't want people to report bugs and
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
overcast or you want them to report bugs
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
about your application doesn't work on
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
beta OSS the idea that I would only want
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
bug reports from overcast beta users is
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
completely wrong well no but like I'm
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
saying if you want to be a good beta if
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
you want to be a good beta citizen like
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
they're not a beta citizen if they're
[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
not using like how would they even get
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
to overcast beta if they're not on your
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
beta you see I'm saying no but like if
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
you if you're using my app on a beta OS
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
and you run into a bug I would like to
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
know about that chances are I probably
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
already know about it
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
but what if I don't you know my beta
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
groups are really small and most of the
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
time I don't have a current beta running
[TS]
00:27:51
◼
►
so I want to know about that stuff and
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
the idea that you should only report
[TS]
00:27:56
◼
►
bugs on the OS if you're testing an OS
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
beta is totally wrong I don't know any
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
developer who wouldn't want those
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
reports well that's how you'd be a good
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
that's how you be a good beta citizen
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
because you're testing a beta of the OS
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
tap BOTS Paul apparently doesn't want to
[TS]
00:28:09
◼
►
hear your complaints about their broken
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
things because they know they're broken
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
on the beta one oh but again it's it's
[TS]
00:28:13
◼
►
an it's I think it's a difference of
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
tone it's a difference of like hey just
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
you know this is broken versus I demand
[TS]
00:28:18
◼
►
that you fix this you know it's it's
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
that's a very different tone and one of
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
them is is helpful and one of them is
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
not I think it even just reporting
[TS]
00:28:26
◼
►
especially if it's a well-known bug or
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
reporting it like it is almost no way to
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
say it if it's the if you were the nine
[TS]
00:28:32
◼
►
print and that hundredth person telling
[TS]
00:28:34
◼
►
somebody to their app crashes on launch
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
in the iOS loving beta like there's
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
almost no way you can say that it's not
[TS]
00:28:39
◼
►
going to eventually Drive you
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
and I feel like I don't think that's a
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
particularly useful thing to be doing
[TS]
00:28:44
◼
►
like especially with something like
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
crashes on launch if the developer
[TS]
00:28:48
◼
►
doesn't know that they don't care about
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
the app anymore and it's hopeless right
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
chances are good they know it crashes on
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
launch and they're addressing it well
[TS]
00:28:56
◼
►
what if it only crashes on launch on a
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
phone you don't use you know like this
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
that's why I like these I can't think of
[TS]
00:29:03
◼
►
a situation where I would not want those
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
reports even if I'm getting 100 of them
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
then then I'll tweet from the account
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
saying hey just so you know I know about
[TS]
00:29:09
◼
►
this thanks for your reports then you
[TS]
00:29:11
◼
►
could not report the same thing again
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
but like you know if if something like
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
that happens I want to know to be a good
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
citizen how about don't expect a
[TS]
00:29:18
◼
►
response if the developer is getting
[TS]
00:29:22
◼
►
tons of them then they won't be able
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
respond to all of them but like yeah by
[TS]
00:29:26
◼
►
all means please tell us we need like
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
that's the point of betas even if they
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
aren't our software in beta even if it's
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
the OS software in beta
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
we still need to know that's again that
[TS]
00:29:35
◼
►
kind of stuff I think we need to survey
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
more developers to ask them if they
[TS]
00:29:39
◼
►
really want people testing their
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
applications on beta OSS and giving them
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
bug reports because I have almost always
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
heard the opposite that please do not do
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
not send me reports of how my
[TS]
00:29:49
◼
►
application doesn't work on a beta
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
version of the OS because it's not like
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
it's almost like a support function
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
don't contact me through support
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
channels if you're not on my beta to
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►
tell me that my application doesn't work
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
in a beta OS like they just don't want
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
to hear it and maybe they're just
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
frustrated maybe you're right it's just
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
about tone and all I ever hear is the
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
frustrated complaint and really it's
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
super valuable for them and they just
[TS]
00:30:07
◼
►
eventually reach their limit and snap
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
but I've always heard the opposite not
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
that I'm sending these reports by the
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
way you save for the podcast
[TS]
00:30:16
◼

I haven't being a good business and I

[TS]
00:30:31
◼

supported on fusion drives which are
[TS]
00:30:32
◼

these kind of weirdo scenarios where you
[TS]
00:30:35
◼

have a spinning disk and a SSD that is
[TS]
00:30:37
◼

kind of melded to be one volume i'm sure
[TS]
00:30:42

i'm that's not going to satisfy john but
[TS]
00:30:44
◼

for the purposes of this conversation
[TS]
00:30:45
◼

all you need to know and so they were
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
supported in betas of high sierra and
[TS]
00:30:50
◼
►
then when the GM happened oh just
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
kidding
[TS]
00:30:53
◼

there is no
[TS]
00:30:54

fusion drive support for you so you're
[TS]
00:30:56
◼

gonna have to reformat to hfs+ if you
[TS]
00:30:58
◼

want to go to high sierra so the
[TS]
00:31:00
◼

question is do you think I guess John do
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
you think that this will be supported in
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
future builds yes I do because Apple has
[TS]
00:31:08
◼

shipped a lot of fusion drives and I
[TS]
00:31:10
◼

think they don't want any of us hanging
[TS]
00:31:11
◼

around and they almost had it working so
[TS]
00:31:14
◼

they'll eventually get it working hi I
[TS]
00:31:17

expected what is future how many points

00:31:21

is it I don't know but I do expect it

didn't want the watch at all for Aaron
[TS]
00:34:04
◼

there is never a time she expects to be
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
that far away from her phone to justify
[TS]
00:34:08
◼

spending the extra money each month and

Aaron Aaron likes her watch I think it's
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
fair to say but doesn't love her watch
[TS]
00:34:17
◼
►
she she views it mostly as a second
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
screen in terms of notifications and
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
very little else and so because of that
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
she didn't seem to think it was worth
[TS]
00:34:27
◼
►
the extra money each month and if she
[TS]
00:34:29
◼
►
wasn't in if she knew she was never ever
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
ever going to pay for cell service then
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
why bother paying the extra money for
[TS]
00:34:35
◼
►
the cell radio but she did want a new
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
watch then she's got a new one just her
[TS]
00:34:39
◼
►
current watch is slow or you thought she
[TS]
00:34:41
◼
►
should just get one so you feel less bad
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
about getting expensive new watch all of
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
the above her current watch her or a
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
previous now watch was a series zero as
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
was mine and it was slow and she has the
[TS]
00:34:51
◼
►
38 millimeters the battery life was
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
getting to be comically bad after the
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
court in over the course of two years
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
which is just some degrees to be
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
expected and I was spending a whole
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
bunch of money on my fancy new watch and
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
I figured you know if I'm gonna get a
[TS]
00:35:03
◼
►
fancy new watch then she should get a
[TS]
00:35:04
◼
►
fancy new watch that's because but the
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
solution to spending money and feeling
[TS]
00:35:07
◼
►
guilty about is just spend more money
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
yeah exactly
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
well yeah this is the Marco approach and
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
now the KC approach it's in have I
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
taught you nothing
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
and so anyway say yes so your wife
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
hazard has not received hers yet she has
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
not received it's a birthday gift okay
[TS]
00:35:24
◼
►
so I won't be able to ask you about your
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
experience then but I will start by
[TS]
00:35:29
◼
►
asking Marco because I suspect you will
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►
not have too much to say about this
[TS]
00:35:33
◼
►
famous last words what is your
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
experience what is your experience been
[TS]
00:35:36
◼
►
with your Apple watch Series three with
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►
LTE I have not really used the LTE yet
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
because I mainly got the LTE so I could
[TS]
00:35:44
◼
►
build overcast with it when the API lets
[TS]
00:35:47
◼
►
me do that and I hope that is soon and
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
but that is the main reason I got it
[TS]
00:35:51
◼
►
because I know because all of my
[TS]
00:35:53
◼
►
customers were asking for it so I
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
figured I should I need that for testing
[TS]
00:35:57
◼
►
but the the for the rest of the series
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
three it's fantastic
[TS]
00:36:01
◼
►
I mean it's the the way that the keynote
[TS]
00:36:04
◼
►
phrased the speed improvements it didn't
[TS]
00:36:07
◼
►
sound like it was that big of a
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
difference in sound like it was like an
[TS]
00:36:09
◼
►
incremental speed update it's not it's a
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
massive speed upgrade from even the
[TS]
00:36:14
◼
►
series to which itself
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
I know answers one which themselves were
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
massive speed upgrades from the original
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
series zero if you still have a series
[TS]
00:36:23
◼
►
II row and you are at all thinking about
[TS]
00:36:25
◼
►
upgrading upgrade it is an incredibly
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
fast device now not to the but not not
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
like phone speed like it's not that
[TS]
00:36:33
◼
►
you're never waiting for anything but
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
compared to where it was it's a huge
[TS]
00:36:39
◼
►
speed upgrade yep I would agree with
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
that and I'd also like to quickly double
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
down and say that the battery life
[TS]
00:36:46
◼
►
improvement for me anyway has also been
[TS]
00:36:49
◼
►
tremendous so I completely agree with
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
you if you're listening to this and you
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
have a series zero watch and that's the
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
only one I have experience with I can't
[TS]
00:36:58
◼
►
speak for series one or series two if
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
you have a series zero watch and you're
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
thinking yeah maybe it's time it's time
[TS]
00:37:03
◼
►
because this is way better both speed
[TS]
00:37:07
◼
►
wise as Marco said and in my experience
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
so far in battery life as well
[TS]
00:37:11
◼
►
keep in mind also with battery life I
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
was thing about the other day like the
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
Apple watch is so dependent on having
[TS]
00:37:17
◼
►
adequate battery life like if your watch
[TS]
00:37:19
◼
►
dies in the middle of the day that
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
really makes it a lot less useful to you
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
like if it can't make it the hole and
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
this is one of the reasons why Apple is
[TS]
00:37:26
◼
►
so conservative about how it spends its
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
power budget now that's one of the
[TS]
00:37:29
◼
►
reasons why the OS is so limited by apps
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
unlimited because you know if your phone
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
you know 3/4 of the way through a day
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
you can plug it in somewhere for a few
[TS]
00:37:38
◼
►
minutes then and then get back to using
[TS]
00:37:40
◼
►
it again with your watch that's really
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
in communion sites like take it off put
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
it somewhere you probably not even have
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
a lot of extra chargers for it because
[TS]
00:37:47
◼
►
they're this separate thing it's kind of
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
a pain it's this giant magnetic disk
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
thing so like you know most people are
[TS]
00:37:53
◼
►
gonna have one charger it's gonna be
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
like next to their bed at night so if
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
your battery life sinks down to the
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
point where it can't make it a full day
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
that dramatically reduces your happiness
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
and the usefulness of that device so
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
because these batteries degrade over
[TS]
00:38:08
◼
►
time I suspect that a lot of people are
[TS]
00:38:12
◼
►
going to be replacing them about every 2
[TS]
00:38:14
◼
►
to 3 years even if they're totally happy
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
with them just because the battery will
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
start fading and it'll it'll cross the
[TS]
00:38:20
◼
►
point where it's no longer making it
[TS]
00:38:21
◼
►
through a full day for them and that's
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
gonna suck so if you have a series Eero
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
and this describes you which I've heard
[TS]
00:38:27
◼
►
that's this is roughly the time that's
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
that's really starting to happen with a
[TS]
00:38:30
◼
►
lot of the series zeros where the
[TS]
00:38:31
◼
►
battery is not making it anymore if you
[TS]
00:38:34
◼
►
have a series zero and you are at all
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
thinking about upgrading this is a good
[TS]
00:38:37
◼
►
time to do that and these are great I'm
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
incredibly happy with them yep I agree
[TS]
00:38:41
◼
►
I'm probably gonna have to upgrade
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
eventually to because even though I
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
don't wear my Apple watch except for a
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
few weeks a year I do wear it a few
[TS]
00:38:47
◼
►
weeks here and my series zero it's I
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
mean the battery is okay but it is it's
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
it's in rough shape like it's so angry
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
at me because I don't wear it I just
[TS]
00:38:56
◼
►
leave it on its charger sitting on my
[TS]
00:38:58
◼
►
you know dresser or whatever I tried to
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
upgrade to watch OS 4 which toking like
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
three days to complete because my phone
[TS]
00:39:04
◼
►
wouldn't connect to it or I would tell
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
me it's downloading it would say
[TS]
00:39:07
◼
►
download / zoom when you're connected to
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
Wi-Fi when I was totally on a Wi-Fi I'm
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
like a foot from the Wi-Fi router and
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
everything is connected to Wi-Fi or it
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
said I can't connect to the phone but
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
the watch could ping the phone and say
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
it was connected I rebooted both devices
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
in the end what I had to do was wipe the
[TS]
00:39:21
◼
►
entire watch and start over and restore
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
from her backup it's the only way and
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
then I'm restoring from a watch OS 3
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
backup and then once that got on then
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
finally I could upgrade to 4 which still
[TS]
00:39:30
◼
►
takes a year and Dave actually run but I
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
was I was glad to see that's that big
[TS]
00:39:34
◼
►
circular progress bar and the four-hour
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
wait for an upgrade so anyway now my
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
series 0 Apple watch is running the new
[TS]
00:39:40
◼
►
OS but I think I will actually buy a new
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
one I just I'm
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
really don't want to because I really
[TS]
00:39:46
◼
►
like the stainless-steel one and it
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
costs a tremendous amount of money and I
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
rarely wear it in the end I probably
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
will get a new one not this year but
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
like next year or the year after what
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
will happen is I'll go to WWC or go on
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
vacation one year and iWatch won't make
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
it through the day like Marco said and
[TS]
00:40:01
◼
►
I'll be like well that's it I've like
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
either either I don't have a Baba watch
[TS]
00:40:03
◼
►
anymore I have to buy a new one and in
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
the end I'll probably buy any one but
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
not this year although who knows maybe
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
maybe seeing my wife he was here cool
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
cellular Dick Tracy watch it would
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
convince me that I should get one but I
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
doubt it yeah I mean it hey if you get
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
one you can switch back to your flip
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
phone yeah that's gonna have my flip
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
phone somewhere but I can't no and one
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
other thing on the speed to like I would
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
say you know again I guess it's it
[TS]
00:40:28
◼
►
doesn't make it like a super fast device
[TS]
00:40:30
◼
►
but this is I think this is the first
[TS]
00:40:33
◼
►
Apple watch that's not too slow yeah I
[TS]
00:40:37
◼
►
agree with all of that so I got my Apple
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
watch series three late-ish Friday I
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
typically go and my I do my exercise on
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
Monday Tuesday and Friday generally
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
speaking so it wasn't until this past
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
Monday and Tuesday that I was able to
[TS]
00:40:51
◼
►
try going for a run without my phone
[TS]
00:40:53
◼
►
which is kind of weird I mean I've only
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
been running semi consistently for a few
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
months it's not like I'm some expert you
[TS]
00:40:59
◼
►
know forever long runner and even in
[TS]
00:41:02
◼
►
just a few months I've gotten used to
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
having my phone either in my hand
[TS]
00:41:06
◼
►
careening out of my bum bag as I'm
[TS]
00:41:08
◼
►
trying to put it in set bag which is why
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
my screen broke or bouncing around on my
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
tailbone as it's in my sort of kind of
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
fanny pack hello the UK you mean your
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
sit bone yes yes that's totally it
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
except not at all
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
but anyway hey the the point is it was
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
it was very weird but immediately very
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
freeing not to have to carry my phone
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
which is super cool so I put in my air
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
I had previously downloaded some music
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
onto my watch connected my ear pods to
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
my watch and I started listening to
[TS]
00:41:43
◼
►
music started to run and run keeper and
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
went on my run and it was really really
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
awesome there are some problems with
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
this though number one I want I don't
[TS]
00:41:53
◼
►
want to listen to music I want to listen
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
to podcasts I can barely keep up with
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
all my podcasts as it is and
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
running is a really great time for me to
[TS]
00:41:59
◼
►
plow through you know maybe one episode
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
or an episode and a half or whatever of
[TS]
00:42:03
◼
►
some of my favorite shows and if I don't
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
bring my phone that I'm not listening to
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
podcast and that's a bummer
[TS]
00:42:09
◼
►
so if only I knew the guy that uses my
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
other that writes my podcast client app
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
whatever of choice maybe I could put in
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
a good word with him about how I'd
[TS]
00:42:19
◼
►
really love some overcast watch support
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
and I understand what the problems are
[TS]
00:42:24
◼
►
and you wrote a really really great post
[TS]
00:42:26
◼
►
about it and then this week's under the
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
radar you talked about kind of the same
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
thing so as much as I joke I'm not
[TS]
00:42:31
◼

actually beating you up about it because
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
I know your hands are tied but please
[TS]
00:42:34
◼
►
PLEASE Apple give Marco the tools give
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
mark of the tools so we can have this
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
nice thing we just want nice things but
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
anyway we've already talked about the
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
battery life battery life is tremendous
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
as compared to previous I have gone on
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
not only a couple of runs with the watch
[TS]
00:42:51
◼
►
but also I have taken Declan to the
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
little park that's within our
[TS]
00:42:55
◼
►
neighborhood a few times and generally
[TS]
00:42:57
◼
►
speaking in the past I brought my phone
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
which means I'm often tempted to look at
[TS]
00:43:01
◼
►
like Twitter or Instagram or whatever
[TS]
00:43:02
◼
►
instead of playing with Declan because
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
I'm a terrible father and not having my
[TS]
00:43:06
◼
►
phone with me makes it much harder to
[TS]
00:43:08
◼
►
look at Twitter or Instagram or
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
what-have-you because I don't have those
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
apps on my watch and that's been really
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
awesome what has been less awesome is
[TS]
00:43:16
◼
►
replying to text messages and things
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
like that because it seems that about
[TS]
00:43:21
◼
►
one time in 3 the text messages just the
[TS]
00:43:24
◼
►
text message it just doesn't send and I
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
and when I say text message I mean both
[TS]
00:43:27
◼
►
iMessage and text message so that's kind
[TS]
00:43:30
◼
►
of a bummer kind of a big bummer yeah I
[TS]
00:43:32
◼
►
don't know if that's a I don't know if
[TS]
00:43:33
◼
►
that's a software problem I don't know
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
if it's a hardware problem I'm guessing
[TS]
00:43:36
◼
►
it's a software thing but that really
[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
bums me out the other thing that's been
[TS]
00:43:41
◼
►
a little bit troubling is I have seen a
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
very small version of the bug that about
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
half of the reviewers hit insofar as as
[TS]
00:43:52
◼
►
I run I'm running in my neighborhood and
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
at one point or another I will pass the
[TS]
00:43:58
◼
►
house because I start you know a little
[TS]
00:44:00
◼
►
bit past the house I run for a while
[TS]
00:44:02
◼
►
past the house again and that's where I
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
end I end where I started and I realized
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
as I as I was coming to the end of my
[TS]
00:44:09
◼
►
run which is close to the house but pass
[TS]
00:44:11
◼
►
house I was attempting to do something I
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
don't recall exactly what it was maybe I
[TS]
00:44:14
◼
►
was just seeing if what the status was
[TS]
00:44:16
◼
►
because this is all new to me and I'm
[TS]
00:44:17
◼
►
trying to figure out okay how long does
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
it take to get on the cell radio and
[TS]
00:44:20
◼
►
when does it fall off the cell radio etc
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
etc I noticed as I ran past the house it
[TS]
00:44:25
◼
►
picked up my Wi-Fi but then it it tried
[TS]
00:44:30
◼
►
to cling to it longer than it really
[TS]
00:44:32
◼
►
should have which I don't really blame
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
the device because it's of course going
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
to try to power off the cell radio and
[TS]
00:44:39
◼
►
it's of course going to try to hang on
[TS]
00:44:41
◼
►
to the Wi-Fi because that radio is far
[TS]
00:44:43
◼
►
less you know power expensive to to keep
[TS]
00:44:46
◼
►
on but what ended up happening was for
[TS]
00:44:49
◼
►
the last you know I don't know three
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
hundred yards of my run I had no
[TS]
00:44:53
◼
►
connectivity because it was still trying
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
to find the Wi-Fi that I had already run
[TS]
00:44:58
◼
►
past and so that was kind of a bummer in
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
general though I don't have that problem
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
I leave the cell I leave the software
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
for the cell radio enabled and what I
[TS]
00:45:07
◼
►
mean by that is it can go on cellular
[TS]
00:45:09
◼
►
anytime it wants and I have not paid any
[TS]
00:45:11
◼
►
attention to like turning that off or
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
anything like that and 99% of the time
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
my phone is right there so it wouldn't
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
power the cell radio on anyway
[TS]
00:45:19
◼
►
but it's it's been maintenance-free in
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
that regard which is really nice and so
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
far I really really really liked it and
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
I'm glad that I have the cell service
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
for the runs and even more importantly
[TS]
00:45:31
◼
►
for when I'm out with Declan and I don't
[TS]
00:45:33
◼
►
want to be attracted to my phone this is
[TS]
00:45:37
◼
►
absolutely a first world problem it is
[TS]
00:45:39
◼
►
absolutely a Casey problem and that I
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
should just have the self-control not to
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
check Twitter every four seconds or
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
Instagram or what-have-you but I know
[TS]
00:45:46
◼
►
myself enough to know that I don't have
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
a tremendous overabundance of
[TS]
00:45:49
◼
►
self-control
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
and so removing this problem by removing
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
my phone from the equation is a pretty
[TS]
00:45:55
◼
►
good way to fix it and I almost put
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
Tweetbot on my watch for instances where
[TS]
00:46:00
◼
►
I'm say DMing with somebody or something
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
like that and it occurred to me by
[TS]
00:46:03
◼
►
putting Tweetbot on my watch i will be
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
defeating the purpose that I've set out
[TS]
00:46:07
◼
►
for my watch which is to say being able
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
to be distraction free another couple
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
things I've noticed once I upgraded to
[TS]
00:46:13
◼
►
High Sierra and I could use unlock with
[TS]
00:46:15
◼
►
my watch again because apparently
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
there's something that causes issues
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
with the cellular watch and in Sierra in
[TS]
00:46:22
◼
►
below so you have to be on some high
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
sierra for your cell you
[TS]
00:46:25
◼
►
watch to do watch unlock once I upgraded
[TS]
00:46:27
◼
►
two of my three computers to High Sierra
[TS]
00:46:30
◼
►
that has come back and that seems to be
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
faster than my series zero by generally
[TS]
00:46:35
◼
►
speaking a pretty comfortable margin
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
Apple pay is way faster in the last
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
couple of months that I had my series
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
zero I'd kind of abandoned using Apple
[TS]
00:46:42
◼
►
pay on the watch because it was just so
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
much slower than my phone and it is a
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
fair bit faster on the series three
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
which I really like all in all the
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
combination of the Apple watch series
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
three with LTE with air pods is pretty
[TS]
00:46:58
◼
►
darn fantastic the only things that I'm
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
really longing for are an update to
[TS]
00:47:04
◼
►
RunKeeper so it will take take a note of
[TS]
00:47:07
◼
►
the map of what of what I ran because if
[TS]
00:47:09
◼
►
you use the exercise app that's built
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
into the watch it will save a map to
[TS]
00:47:13
◼
►
your health app but RunKeeper hasn't
[TS]
00:47:15
◼
►
hasn't built in support for that API yet
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
which is a real bummer
[TS]
00:47:18
◼
►
and again I want podcasts on my watch
[TS]
00:47:21
◼
►
pretty please Apple please look at
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
Marco's post and give me podcasts on my
[TS]
00:47:25
◼
►
watch that's all I want please please
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
and a volume widget please for the love
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
of God no one cared about a volume
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
widget on the watch until air pods and
[TS]
00:47:34
◼
►
now because air pods don't have a good
[TS]
00:47:36
◼
►
way to control volume physically on them
[TS]
00:47:38
◼
►
everybody is demanding that with good
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
reason and yeah I can't I can't offer it
[TS]
00:47:42
◼
►
like there is no API for me to offer
[TS]
00:47:44
◼
►
them a volume widget for either phone or
[TS]
00:47:46
◼
►
watch audio levels and I just it kills
[TS]
00:47:50
◼
►
me yeah so those are my thoughts I
[TS]
00:47:53
◼
►
definitely recommend it I definitely
[TS]
00:47:55
◼
►
think it's good I definitely am glad I
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
spent the money on both it and the
[TS]
00:47:59
◼
►
cellular service on top I'm I'm giving
[TS]
00:48:03
◼
►
it two thumbs up so far really really
[TS]
00:48:04
◼
►
love this device yeah the only thing I
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
would add is like it seems like the like
[TS]
00:48:10
◼
►
what we're seeing with the cellular you
[TS]
00:48:11
◼
►
know holding on to Wi-Fi and everything
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
else you know this is clearly a device
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
that for power reasons has to use the
[TS]
00:48:19
◼
►
LTE as little as possible I would say
[TS]
00:48:22
◼
►
it's it's a good device to get you know
[TS]
00:48:25
◼
►
if you have like a specific use case in
[TS]
00:48:27
◼
►
mind like Casey at the park or running
[TS]
00:48:29
◼
►
without a phone like that makes a ton of
[TS]
00:48:31
◼
►
sense I would say don't assume this
[TS]
00:48:34
◼
►
device is just gonna be always happily
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
using its LTE the way like an iPad
[TS]
00:48:38
◼
►
it's it's going to minimize LTE so
[TS]
00:48:41
◼
►
aggressively that it's it's it's more
[TS]
00:48:44
◼
►
useful to think of the LTE thing as a
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
just in case I need it kind of thing
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
like if you're on a run and you don't
[TS]
00:48:49
◼
►
want to be without a way to make a phone
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
call in case of an emergency or you want
[TS]
00:48:52
◼
►
to be reachable by people you know it
[TS]
00:48:55
◼
►
makes sense for that but I wouldn't
[TS]
00:48:57
◼
►
necessarily say that it makes sense to
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
buy the LTE version with the assumption
[TS]
00:49:02
◼
►
that you'll be using it just like a tiny
[TS]
00:49:03
◼
►
phone because not only is it you know
[TS]
00:49:05
◼
►
very very conservative with when it uses
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
the LTE at all but also app why is the
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
apps are not really ready for that yet
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
they were there were good segments about
[TS]
00:49:14
◼
►
app readiness on other podcast this week
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
I know there was a great one on upgrade
[TS]
00:49:17
◼
►
especially and I think a little more
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
unconnected but basically yeah I was
[TS]
00:49:22
◼
►
connected but basically you know the
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
apps for Apple watch have been written
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
to date with the assumption that they
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
were using the phone and their
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
corresponding app on the phone for all
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
their communication and the watch really
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
couldn't do much until fairly recently
[TS]
00:49:39
◼
►
with its own communication and and until
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
like last week that was only on Wi-Fi
[TS]
00:49:44
◼
►
and because nobody really went with the
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
watch without their phone and did much
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
with it there wasn't much reason to
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
really write the apps for that so Apple
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
watch third-party apps still have a
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
anything first party apps frankly still
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
have a long way to go before they can
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
really make good use of independent
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
connectivity on the watch and the
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
hardware probably needs a couple more
[TS]
00:50:04
◼
►
generations before it's really able to
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
use the LTE radio more than occasionally
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
anyway so buy it if you want to be
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
reachable and to have a lifeline you
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
know they like that kind of that kind of
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
use when you are out without a phone but
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
I wouldn't necessarily say buy it just
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
for like entertainment to go phoneless
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
like Casey at the park because that's
[TS]
00:50:24
◼
►
not ultimately what it's for and it's
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
not worth optimized to do I would agree
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
with that
[TS]
00:50:29
◼
►
also you can bring your phone to the
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
park man like kids at the park like yeah
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
we love our kids but like they're there
[TS]
00:50:34
◼
►
a lot it's it's okay to bring your phone
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
look Instagram while they're like
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
climbing the monkey bars and everything
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
when you aren't like when they're not
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
interacting with you when they're guys
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
running around you can you can look at
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
your phone it's okay I give you
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
permission to do it let me you look up
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
and they're gone you don't have to blame
[TS]
00:50:47
◼
►
your something yeah yeah I know
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
I think part of the problem is that you
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
know the this particular Park it's just
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
in the neighborhood so it's usual that
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
it's only Declan and I that are there
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
and beyond that he's still in the phase
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
where everything is Daddy this are
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
really mommy this and then if mommy
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►
isn't there daddy this and so you know
[TS]
00:51:07
◼
►
it's it's it's better if I am not
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
distracted by something else and better
[TS]
00:51:12
◼
►
if I'm paying more attention to him
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
actually a Hamilton or and the chat
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
points out a very good thing bring your
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
phone to take pictures like you know as
[TS]
00:51:19
◼
►
as people are realizing they can now go
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
out into the world with just their watch
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
many of them I've seen are also
[TS]
00:51:25
◼
►
realizing oh crap I don't have a camera
[TS]
00:51:27
◼
►
when I do that and I'm used to always
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
having a camera yeah the thing is
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
actually Mike and I talked about this
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
very briefly on the forthcoming episode
[TS]
00:51:35
◼
►
of analog but uh if I'm was going to
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
bring a camera to the park I would
[TS]
00:51:40
◼
►
probably bring the big camera because I
[TS]
00:51:42
◼
►
I think the pictures are much much much
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
better coming off of that now once I get
[TS]
00:51:48
◼
►
my fancy iPhone ten in 2020 when it's
[TS]
00:51:50
◼
►
finally available then that might change
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
when I have my fancy you know a two lens
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
camera system but for now I would be
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
more apt to bring watch and big camera
[TS]
00:52:01
◼
►
than I would be watching phone that's
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
actually a reasonable plan I like that
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
yeah but I mean obviously this is kind
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
of a unique to casing use case and that
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
may not be the case for everyone else
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
but I would agree with with what you
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
said a minute ago like if you have if
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
you the listener have a particular set
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
of times that you think this would be
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
useful to you for example exercise
[TS]
00:52:21
◼
►
particularly in a situation where you
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
don't have access to Wi-Fi or anything
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
else so often but not always outdoor
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
exercise or if you just are like me and
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
don't have very good self control then I
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
think having a watch with LTE makes
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
sense and certainly one of the nice
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
things is if you wanted to just see what
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
you thought you could get a watch with
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
LTE and just choose not to enable it so
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
yes it's it's I think 70 extra dollars
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
up front but you don't have to incur
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
that monthly fee until you you feel like
[TS]
00:52:51
◼
►
you might want it but if you don't
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
really have a particular use like that
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
in mind I agree with Marco that it may
[TS]
00:53:00
◼
►
not really be worth the money
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
what do you think of the red dot now
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
that you have it uh I wish the red dot
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
wasn't there
[TS]
00:53:09
◼
►
agreed I have yet to see any model
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
except the white ceramic where I think
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
it looks good
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
I think it looks ok or passable on the
[TS]
00:53:19
◼
►
steel ones and maybe ok on the gold
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
aluminum one but that's about the best I
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
can say about it yeah fair enough
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
I think I feel the same way I I wish it
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
wasn't there I wish I had an option to
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
not have it there I like if always watch
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
dots yeah I know but I don't I don't
[TS]
00:53:41
◼
►
trust myself to apply it in such a way
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
that it won't look like garbage the
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
watch thought that yeah yeah yeah that's
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
yeah if I could I do believe if I could
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
pay a little bit of extra money to have
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
a version without the dot I probably
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
would have find somebody who paints
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
miniatures and yeah there was some
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
enamel in there you'll never notice
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
it'll be practically perfect yeah
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
something like that I don't know but
[TS]
00:54:10
◼
►
overall i am i was expecting to like the
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
watch you know i am a pretty big fan of
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
the apple watch as a platform and I was
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
expecting to like this new one you know
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
a fair bit and it turns out I really
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
like this new watch a lot so it is a
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
very worthwhile upgrade the sell like we
[TS]
00:54:27
◼

just discussed yeah maybe maybe not for
[TS]
00:54:29
◼

enthusiastic about the the cellular

[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
when going either way but yeah I
[TS]

00:56:59
◼
►
official John siracusa review of Mac OS
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
high sierra view is i still haven't used
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
it my jaw literally never used it
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
because i didn't install any of the
[TS]
00:57:11
◼
►
betas and i don't have it anyway max now
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
why don't I have it in a max well
[TS]
00:57:15
◼
►
obviously the Mac Pro that I'm talking
[TS]
00:57:17
◼
►
to right now can't run it I never did do
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
the whatever you know firmware upgrade
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
trickery to make it run Sierra and
[TS]
00:57:23
◼
►
therefore also run high sierra i
[TS]
00:57:25
◼
►
probably never will so that's that my
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
work computer we are
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
allowed to install it at work yet
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
because of some Active Directory bugs
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
that are supposedly fixed in the 10:13
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
one beta but right now if you try to
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
install it one of our works incredibly
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
invasive please that don't let me know
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
how this actually works
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
hacker key things is when you
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
double-click the is Sierra installer a
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
dialog pops up with a message written by
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
our corporate IT that says you can't
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
install it I'm hoping that didn't patch
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
the binary of the installer but whatever
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
mechanism they have to intercept the
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
launch of a particular application and
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
throw up an arbitrary message in a
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
dialog got anyone know so anyway I can't
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►
upgrade the work one that would be the
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
one I would you would be most likely to
[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►
upgrade because I would have some faith
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
that the IT team that I was just
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
complaining about had tested it and made
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
sure our stuff works on it and it's like
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
practically brand-new like it's all
[TS]
00:58:15
◼
►
fresh and like I haven't done anything
[TS]
00:58:17
◼
►
weird do it so if any computer is gonna
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
work ok with it it's gonna be that one
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
and then finally my wife's computer
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
which I thought it was an upgrade in day
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
one I found myself with cold feet not so
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
much about a PFS although there are some
[TS]
00:58:31
◼
►
issues with that like super duper that I
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
used to go in just now has like a beta
[TS]
00:58:34
◼
►
support for cloning from it but really
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
I'm getting cold feet about the point
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
zero and in a way I didn't with Sierra I
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
just I don't know I think maybe it's a
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
combination like just the point zero is
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
not enough to scare me away and just a
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
PFS is not enough to scare me both of
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
them I'm hedging so I've downloaded the
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
Installer and I've done like a fresh
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
round of backups and clones and made
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
sure all of my backups are good and you
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
know I've done all this stuff I'm
[TS]
00:58:58
◼
►
already to install but I thought I would
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
pull the trigger and it's just like I'm
[TS]
00:59:02
◼
►
I'm not pulling the trigger and mostly
[TS]
00:59:04
◼
►
what I would be upgrading for is the new
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
version of photos not for a PFS was
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
obviously I like that I wanted and I'll
[TS]
00:59:09
◼
►
get it eventually but I wanted to try
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
the new version of photos but that has
[TS]
00:59:13
◼
►
me a little bit scared too so I may turn
[TS]
00:59:15
◼
►
out that I just wait for the point one
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
especially if the point one is due out
[TS]
00:59:19
◼
►
soon but right now I've been too much of
[TS]
00:59:22
◼
►
it's a try it so I'm just I'm just in a
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
holding pattern waiting to see other
[TS]
00:59:27
◼
►
things I let other people go first and
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
see what kind of disasters befall them
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
and this is kind of weird for me because
[TS]
00:59:32
◼
►
I upgrade it almost all the other ones I
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
always upgrade in my wife's computer
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
like as soon as it comes out just you
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
know why not everything's fine but this
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
time I don't know it's just me I don't
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
think there's anything particularly high
[TS]
00:59:41
◼
►
Sierra is again I haven't you
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
the beta so I have nothing to base my
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
fears on but I think the combo of AP FS
[TS]
00:59:48
◼
►
and the point zero is keeping me away I
[TS]
00:59:51
◼
►
am surprised by that me too so Marco
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
have you upgraded anything yet Marco
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
only my laptop I I would like to upgrade
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
my desk
[TS]
00:59:59
◼
►
my desk
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
pop mostly for the media format support
[TS]
01:00:02
◼
►
but I really that's pretty much the only
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
thing that is really compelling for me
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
right now and and the thing is like you
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
know I've really been burned a lot it by
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
the last few Mac OS releases you know it
[TS]
01:00:14
◼

like ever since like the discovery de

fiasco pretty much every almost every

01:00:19

major version of Mac OS in the last few
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
years has broken some sub system that I
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
rely on for a little while you know
[TS]
01:00:26
◼
►
sometimes for the entire release cycle
[TS]
01:00:28
◼
►
like I'm I'm pretty sure Sierra still
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
messes up bluetooth input devices like I
[TS]
01:00:34
◼
►
still think blue is messed up in Sierra
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
and and you know some people have
[TS]
01:00:39
◼
►
reporter reporting USB audio bugs
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
earlier on and Sierra's lifecycle and
[TS]
01:00:44
◼
►
stuff and like you know this is my work
[TS]
01:00:45
◼
►
machine III I can't afford downtime of
[TS]
01:00:48
◼
►
my Mac of my main Mac here I do my
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
entire job here the idea of taking a
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
risk on High Sierra in you know early on
[TS]
01:00:58
◼
►
in its lifecycle with you know with
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
Sierra like I kind of know it's kind
[TS]
01:01:02
◼
►
like the devil you know it's like I know
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
Sierra is buggy with Bluetooth pointing
[TS]
01:01:06
◼
►
devices so it's like I'm used to my
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
mouse and trackpad just occasionally
[TS]
01:01:09
◼
►
just disconnecting for no reason and
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
then reconnecting like I've gotten used
[TS]
01:01:13
◼
►
to that now you know with High Sierra I
[TS]
01:01:16
◼
►
don't know what this year's discovery D
[TS]
01:01:17
◼
►
is yet you know I've heard lots of
[TS]
01:01:19
◼
►
reports that it's that it's the Windows
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
Server rewrite yeah and and I don't know
[TS]
01:01:23
◼
►
it like when I ask people on Twitter
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
like hey you know what is is High Sierra
[TS]
01:01:27
◼
►
okay or not what if it been your
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
experiences the the responses were
[TS]
01:01:31
◼
►
pretty evenly split between it's totally
[TS]
01:01:34
◼
►
perfect I've had no problems and oh my
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
god it's been a disaster for mostly for
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
the Windows Server things so I assume
[TS]
01:01:41
◼
►
that it mostly works if you're doing
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
things the way Apple want you to do but
[TS]
01:01:46
◼
►
if you have some kind of you know
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
workflow or or setup that is that puts a
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
strain on edge cases the Windows Server
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
so for instance if you are frequently
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
connecting or disconnecting monitors or
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
using clamshell mode maybe like I like
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
that kind of thing I bet it's probably
[TS]
01:02:02
◼
►
more likely to have bugs related to the
[TS]
01:02:04
◼
►
Windows Server stuff then or if you have
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
a particular GPU like some particular
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
NVIDIA GPU Steve trout and Smith have
[TS]
01:02:11
◼
►
some computer with some
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
Euler GPU that just kernel panics like
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
based on a clock like so and thirty
[TS]
01:02:18
◼
►
minutes in the kernel panics like that's
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
the thing about a lot of these graphics
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
subsystem things in the window server
[TS]
01:02:23
◼
►
that deal with GPU drivers it could be
[TS]
01:02:26
◼
►
perfectly fine for you because your GPU
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
driver has no problems and for someone
[TS]
01:02:30
◼
►
else it doesn't matter how lightly or
[TS]
01:02:32
◼
►
heavily you use it if you're just
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
connecting or turning them on it's just
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
that your GPU the driver for it has some
[TS]
01:02:36
◼
►
bug that gets tripped on average after
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
every 30 minutes so I've heard that as
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
well and I don't know if that's making
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
me where because I assume I don't have
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
one of those weird GPUs but who knows
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
you know that kind of thing like I I'm
[TS]
01:02:49
◼
►
just not willing to take the risk on my
[TS]
01:02:51
◼
►
main computer when there are still
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
widespread reports of problems of that
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
magnitude the advantages of high sierra
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
are just not very compelling for me to
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
take that risk right now over time that
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
calculus will change you know over time
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
it will it will start to become more
[TS]
01:03:06
◼
►
annoying that i don't have the latest
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
version cuz like lots of things around
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
the Apple ecosystem these days will
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
assume that you have a latest version
[TS]
01:03:12
◼
►
will only work correctly or fully with
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
lives version especially with you know
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
features that are shared between iOS and
[TS]
01:03:17
◼
►
the Mac things like you know like
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
continuity and handoff even simple
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
things like notes notes has new features
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
now the h gb c and h and and heap stuff
[TS]
01:03:25
◼
►
like that's gonna become more annoying
[TS]
01:03:27
◼
►
over time as my photos app can't edit
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
the phones that are in it things like
[TS]
01:03:31
◼
►
that like that's gonna eventually push
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
me over probably within the next few
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
like i'm I'm probably gonna install the
[TS]
01:03:37
◼
►
point one and hope that it fixes
[TS]
01:03:38
◼
►
everything if not the point two but
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
basically right now why should I install
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
it like there's no there's but there's
[TS]
01:03:44
◼
►
not much reason to install it and
[TS]
01:03:46
◼
►
there's just a lot of potential for
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
there still be pretty serious problems
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
with it that I just don't need to be the
[TS]
01:03:53
◼
►
one to fix you don't like what I'm blur
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
one of my rules was that you know when I
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
was choosing software or infrastructure
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
that we were going to build upon one of
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
my rules was to never be the biggest
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
user of anything you know you want to
[TS]
01:04:09
◼
►
use stuff that like Facebook uses or
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
Twitter uses because you know like if
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
there's any kind of bug at scale they
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
will have already hit it and probably
[TS]
01:04:18
◼
►
will have submitted and fixed you know
[TS]
01:04:20
◼
►
fixes for it it'll be fixed by them long
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
before it's ever a problem for you and
[TS]
01:04:25
◼
►
similarly with with like Mac OS
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
it's like why why install the point zero
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
why not let the entire rest of the world
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
use it first report all the bugs get
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
Apple to fix them and then install the
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
point one of the point two like there's
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
it's it's selfish like you should as
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
like a social good try to contribute
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
with everybody but no screw that and in
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
my computer to work and so I'll let
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
everyone else do that and I'll sit back
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
and collect the fixes speaking of a
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
computer reliability my shiny new Space
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
Gray 2017 MacBook Pro it's already
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
proven to not be as reliable as my
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
outgoing eight year old 2009 Mac Pro at
[TS]
01:05:03
◼
►
work because I've had it for what like
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
two weeks now or something and I came in
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
one day this week and it was just off
[TS]
01:05:10
◼
►
and I booted up and sure enough it had
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
kernel panicked in the middle of the
[TS]
01:05:13
◼
►
night at Korea it was just sitting there
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
nobody's using it who knows what was
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
going on I didn't get anything good I
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
did do the send you know send report to
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
Apple I looked at the thing I couldn't
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
make heads or tails of it like it didn't
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
nothing obvious jumped it didn't even
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
look like a full crash report whatever
[TS]
01:05:28
◼
►
had saved in NVRAM it was like just
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
information about my system but didn't
[TS]
01:05:32
◼
►
tell me about what it crash to show me
[TS]
01:05:33
◼
►
any symbols or anything like that I'm
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
like you you know if it wants to match
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
my 2009 Mac Pro's performance it needs
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
to not kernel panic again for another 7
[TS]
01:05:44
◼
►
years because it did kernel panic a
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
couple of times when they first
[TS]
01:05:51
◼
►
installed the terrible antivirus
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
software they were forcing us all to use
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
because it apparently had an
[TS]
01:05:56
◼
►
incompatibility with like Zeon's or
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
something I was that was it was a story
[TS]
01:06:00
◼
►
like oh you're the only computer in the
[TS]
01:06:02
◼
►
entire company with a xiana and the nd
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
the antivirus software kernel panics
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
reliably kernel panics Zeon's and we
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
changed your different antivirus thing
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
and so that solved that problem so those
[TS]
01:06:13
◼
►
are the only panics I had those were
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
explicable and I could tell what was
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
doing it I said did we have any other
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
kernel packs in that one maybe when I
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
gave away gave away when I when I
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
returned my 2000 iMac for our work I
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
also like returned you know all the
[TS]
01:06:28
◼
►
stuff that came with it and you know it
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
came with it Snow Leopard on a plastic
[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
disc nice that's a computer so into a B
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
I had some crumpets back but like but in
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
general it's just I don't it's not a
[TS]
01:06:39
◼
►
thing that I expect
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
to happen like it just and so within the
[TS]
01:06:43
◼
►
first few weeks of and this remember
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
this is running Sierra not High Sierra
[TS]
01:06:46
◼
►
but like ten twelve six the latest
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
version of Sierra not not often I
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
especially start oh well at least the
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
boots fast I mean the thing to remember
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
too is like you know these Mac OS
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
releases on a schedule not one it's done
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
Apple is you know Apple usually ships
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
high quality stuff you know like we
[TS]
01:07:04
◼
►
complain but like the their track record
[TS]
01:07:07
◼
►
is pretty good but there's also a
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
hierarchy like you could be pretty sure
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
that when a new iPhone comes out that's
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
usually pretty solid because they care a
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
lot about that and they work really hard
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
on that to make that rock-solid but
[TS]
01:07:20
◼
►
everything else but beneath the iPhone
[TS]
01:07:22
◼
►
gets less and less reliable in that way
[TS]
01:07:26
◼
►
like you can't be sure that a lower
[TS]
01:07:29
◼
►
priority release is going to be as solid
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
as iPhone Hardware because like
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
everything else has it has to basically
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
ship on a schedule whenever it's ready
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
and again usually that works out ok but
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
like they were gonna ship High Sierra
[TS]
01:07:45
◼
►
when they did regardless of whether it
[TS]
01:07:47
◼
►
was done so we got it and it's probably
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
close to done there probably aren't a
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
lot of bugs but that was shipping a
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
schedule not after hitting a certain
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
quality threshold so it's right that
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
they do do it on a schedule but they
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
control scope like even on iOS they do
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
they control scope so they have to
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
either you give it can can change the
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
schedule by saying we're gonna push this
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
out or you can narrow the scope so you
[TS]
01:08:13
◼
►
can ship what is shippable and they did
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
it in iOS 2 they didn't ship that one
[TS]
01:08:16
◼
►
feature had the most which is the
[TS]
01:08:17
◼
►
iMessage syncing that fell out of the
[TS]
01:08:20
◼
►
release right because you're right they
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
are shipping on a schedule look we got a
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
ship this because we gotta sell some
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
phones here and we got a ship iOS 11 and
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
whatever was like a month before that
[TS]
01:08:29
◼
►
fell out because it's like this is not
[TS]
01:08:31
◼
►
gonna be ready in high sierra a PFS on
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
fusion drives and automatically
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
converting spinning discs all fell out
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
of it and the fusion drives coming back
[TS]
01:08:40
◼
►
right so that's what they're trying to
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
do is say we do want to ship on a
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
schedule but we want to ship quality
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
software so we have to make a call at a
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
certain point you're not going to be
[TS]
01:08:49
◼
►
ready in time for the schedule so guess
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
what feature you get booted out of the
[TS]
01:08:52
◼
►
OS and that's that's easy too
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
do in theory but in practice pulling
[TS]
01:08:57
◼
►
features out is not a harm free process
[TS]
01:09:00
◼
►
you are left with a code base that is
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
different than it was before that may
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
have new interactions that you didn't
[TS]
01:09:06
◼
►
anticipate and so you know you have to
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
test that new combination of stuff and
[TS]
01:09:10
◼
►
so it is difficult and I see what I was
[TS]
01:09:12
◼
►
trying to do and in general that's how
[TS]

modern software development works you
[TS]
01:09:16
◼

usually they you want to have a
[TS]
01:09:19
◼
►
reasonably fixed schedule especially for
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
something that's like a marketing type
[TS]
01:09:22
◼
►
thing where every year you want to have
[TS]
01:09:23
◼
►
a new version of iOS or whatever and you
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
just control scope and there's easier
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
said than done and that's what I was
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
trying to do but as you said Margo and
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
you know even though they're doing the
[TS]
01:09:32
◼
►
same strategy and both os's
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
the Big Show is iOS and then everything
[TS]
01:09:38
◼

else in the company gets slightly less
[TS]
01:09:39

of everything slightly less their time

01:09:42
◼

money people everything about it is less
[TS]
01:09:45
◼

how much is it less is it marginally
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
less you don't you know it has fewer
[TS]
01:09:50
◼
►
users right it is also a more mature
[TS]
01:09:52
◼
►
product but it is also a product that
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
makes less money and like so I don't
[TS]
01:09:57
◼
►
know Mac users have been feeling
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
neglected for a while because iOS is
[TS]
01:10:00
◼
►
gets all the glory and stuff like that
[TS]
01:10:02
◼
►
but uh in theory there's a lot of
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
articles there was a good one Steven
[TS]
01:10:06
◼
►
Hackett had two articles about this
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
about uh high sierra being like Snow
[TS]
01:10:09
◼
►
Leopard right but Snow Leopard was back
[TS]
01:10:12
◼
►
in the days when Mac os10 was still
[TS]
01:10:16
◼
►
pretty firmly in maybe not in the glory
[TS]
01:10:22
◼
►
position right and it was an important
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
product was a very important product
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
Apple so when they did the no new
[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►
features release a that was a lie and B
[TS]
01:10:31
◼
►
they kind of makes it a little bit more
[TS]
01:10:33
◼
►
I mean grants out of dispatch was
[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
released and Snow Leopard if I recall
[TS]
01:10:37
◼
►
correctly is that's pretty pretty big
[TS]
01:10:38
◼
►
feature to say no new features but these
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
days it does feel like like if this is
[TS]
01:10:47
◼
►
supposed to be a Snow Leopard doesn't
[TS]
01:10:48
◼
►
feel very snow up or it doesn't feel
[TS]
01:10:49
◼
►
like they took Sierra and just polished
[TS]
01:10:51
◼
►
it because you said Marco Sierra still
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
has some rough edges that just seemed to
[TS]
01:10:54
◼
►
have never been resolved and now you're
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
adding more stuff and it's not just like
[TS]
01:10:58
◼
►
taking Sierra and making it more
[TS]
01:11:00
◼
►
reliable and faster yeah I don't know
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
like I don't like I said I haven't
[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
installed that I just that's my spidey
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
Wow great I mean III have like I said
[TS]
01:11:14
◼
►
put this on the adorable in my work
[TS]
01:11:16
◼
►
computer and so far the only thing that
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
I've really noticed is that I can now
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
use my unlock with my cellular Apple
[TS]
01:11:24
◼
►
watch again like I discussed earlier
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
like otherwise it doesn't really seem
[TS]
01:11:28
◼
►
any different to me and in fact it seems
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
so similar to me that I intend to go
[TS]
01:11:33
◼
►
through Stephens review not only because
[TS]
01:11:36
◼
►
I want to read it in general but to tell
[TS]
01:11:39
◼
►
me what it is that's different because
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
it seems like a lot of the big
[TS]
01:11:41
◼
►
differences are Safari which I had
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
previously put on my Sierra builds and
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
photos which I don't use so once you
[TS]
01:11:49
◼
►
take those away it's kind of like yeah
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
I'm sure there's other good stuff there
[TS]
01:11:54
◼
►
but yeah whatever well and I and I hope
[TS]
01:11:56
◼
►
that like you like I mentioned Housley
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
Sierra still has these bluetooth issues
[TS]
01:12:00
◼
►
that don't seem to be fixed with High
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
Sierra have they fixed them or did they
[TS]
01:12:04
◼
►
just move on and now they break and
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
other things I hope I don't know I hope
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
they fix them but you never know what
[TS]
01:12:10
◼
►
these kind of releases that's one of the
[TS]
01:12:11
◼
►
reasons why I haven't sold yet but like
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
you know what you said in case you like
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
you that you could barely even really
[TS]
01:12:16
◼
►
tell that you had upgraded that's you
[TS]
01:12:18
◼
►
know for for a release like this where
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
you know they really weren't user facing
[TS]
01:12:22
◼
►
changes that's what you want that that
[TS]
01:12:24
◼
►
is the ideal case yeah yeah now we'll
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
see I mean you know your your track
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
record of reporting problems to us with
[TS]
01:12:29
◼
►
your computer is pretty poor like you
[TS]
01:12:31
◼
►
might tell us in six months oh yeah by
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
the way ten rebooting everyday at noon
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
and I don't know why like hey that's a
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
problem yeah it's just been fine I
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
haven't wanted to take it in like but
[TS]
01:12:41
◼
►
but you know like I hope when I install
[TS]
01:12:44
◼
►
it I don't notice and that maybe my
[TS]
01:12:46
◼
►
trackpad a mouse stay connected like
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
that's that's what I want to have in
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
there I don't want any excitement there
[TS]
01:12:53
◼
►
because and like and there's a lot about
[TS]
01:12:55
◼
►
Mac OS that I hope Apple is working on
[TS]
01:12:58
◼
►
and I hope they do improve long term
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
like Stephens review had this great
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
paragraph towards the end that basically
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
was listing like a whole bunch of areas
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
in Mac OS that are still big problems
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
and could really use improvements big
[TS]
01:13:11
◼
►
and small if you think Mac OS is done
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
and that it's perfected and that there's
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
nothing more to do you aren't thinking
[TS]
01:13:19
◼
►
about the problem enough the him Mac
[TS]
01:13:21
◼
►
still has tons of places it can go and
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
could use lots of improvements big and
[TS]
01:13:28
◼
►
small right now it looks like apples not
[TS]
01:13:30
◼
►
really doing much of that I hope that's
[TS]
01:13:33
◼
►
just because we're like in the you know
[TS]
01:13:35
◼
►
middle stages of those efforts and
[TS]
01:13:37
◼
►
there's nothing to show yet because
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
there's still tons of things to make
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
Mac's awesome and to make them better
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
and to modernize them that appear to not
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
be happening so again I hope they really
[TS]
01:13:48
◼
►
are happening and they're just not ready
[TS]
01:13:49
◼
►
yet and and I think what we've seen from
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
Apple in the last few years is it does
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
seem like there was a period a few years
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
ago where they really were not working
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
on the Mac much at all but it also seems
[TS]
01:14:01
◼
►
like a few years ago they they kind of
[TS]
01:14:03
◼
►
had a change of heart on that front and
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
that they began reinvesting a lot in the
[TS]
01:14:09
◼
►
Mac again and that resulted in things
[TS]
01:14:11
◼
►
like the touch bar and things like that
[TS]
01:14:13
◼
►
I hope that that's that progress
[TS]
01:14:17
◼
►
continues even though I haven't
[TS]
01:14:19
◼
►
personally enjoyed the touch bar I
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
honestly think it was a pretty big miss
[TS]
01:14:22
◼
►
and I think the the lack of any touch
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
bar changes in High Sierra might
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
indicate that Apple realizes that - I
[TS]
01:14:31
◼
►
don't know but the fact that they're
[TS]
01:14:34
◼
►
investing in the Mac is really really
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
good I hope they continue to invest not
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
just in you know cool Hardware tricks
[TS]
01:14:40
◼
►
like the touch bar but also in
[TS]
01:14:42
◼
►
fundamentally moving the software
[TS]
01:14:45
◼
►
forward with High Sierra they laid some
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
new groundwork with the Windows Server I
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
hope that was a big deal for moving
[TS]
01:14:51
◼
►
everything forward I hope it succeeds
[TS]
01:14:53
◼
►
and I hope they maintain it properly to
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
iron out the bugs and and to fix all
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
these subsystems that might have been
[TS]
01:14:58
◼
►
broken and move the platform forward we
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
haven't seen that yet but I hope that's
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
in progress yeah agreed

random things to his Twitter bio and and
[TS]
01:16:24
◼

you know he would be coffee enthusiast

01:16:37
◼
►
things that was that was one thing right
[TS]
01:16:40
◼

01:16:49
◼
►
last week I have had a loaner car from

Fiat Chrysler of America really that

[TS]
01:17:52
◼
►
then they needed to get a new tire
[TS]
01:17:54
◼
►
shipped in because apparently this was
[TS]
01:17:56
◼
►
not an off-the-shelf tire a month or so
[TS]
01:17:59
◼
►
later they were they were going to give

◼

windshield or like a shatter and the
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
windshield and so I turned around went

01:19:06
◼

Volvo in the family this car is the

American version of a luxury SUV which
[TS]
01:19:14

is to say it's not that luxurious and

just do it myself
[TS]
01:22:05

yeah yeah it's it's I tried it once with

perpendicular parking and it was garbage

and actually to be fair so was Erin's

dollars which is quite a bit less than
[TS]
01:22:27
◼

we paid for Erin's Volvo so it it feels
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
like the American take on a luxury SUV a
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
lot of the stuff is nice and it does
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
have a lot of the bits and bobs like the
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
you know radar cruise control but so
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
much of it it gets wrong like this you
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
connect thing and this is gonna this
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
isn't that interesting without without a
[TS]
01:22:44
◼
►
visual aid and so you just have to go on
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
faith until I eventually write my blog
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
post but the UConnect thing is an
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
assault on my eyeballs it is a billion
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
buttons everything is gray everything
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
blends together there are neat features
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
about it so as an example when you're in
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
the Bluetooth like media screen there's
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
a little teeny tiny button that says map
[TS]
01:23:07
◼
►
and then it will do a popover of the
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
current map so you can look at where you
[TS]
01:23:11
◼
►
are without leaving the context the
[TS]
01:23:12
◼
►
Bluetooth screen that's a kind of cool
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
idea but it isn't pinch-to-zoom or you
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
know or or whatever the case may be
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
which Aaron's car is the resolution of
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
the screen was not very good you know
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
Aaron's car I wouldn't call it retina
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
but it's it's it's of that kind of talib
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
er right it's it's a decently high res
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
screen this thing was looked like it was
[TS]
01:23:35
◼
►
five years old and this is a 2017 model
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
and here again as I was starting to say
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
at the beginning it's it's so
[TS]
01:23:44
◼
►
frustrating because without Aaron's car
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
as a comparison as a benchmark I
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
actually think I would have liked this
[TS]
01:23:49
◼
►
car a lot more and and when I met Aaron
[TS]
01:23:52
◼
►
way back when you know she had said her
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
like fantasy car in a lot of ways was
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
Grand Cherokee she's always really liked
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
them and you know what I always really
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
liked them I always thought they were
[TS]
01:24:01
◼
►
really nice car or trucks I should say
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
but as compared to the Volvo which does
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
all of the things this does and more and
[TS]
01:24:09
◼
►
does every single one of them better
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
except of course going offroad I would
[TS]
01:24:14
◼
►
choose the Volvo any day the week and
[TS]
01:24:15
◼
►
twice on Sunday knob feel it was maybe a
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
seven or eight it's a nice if it feels
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
nice but it's not it is it really is but
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
it's not
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
you can tell it's just it's just not all
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
there and the things that really drove
[TS]
01:24:33
◼
►
me nuts about it were things where they
[TS]
01:24:36
◼
►
just didn't think it through
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
so as an example most of you listeners
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
probably live in an area where at a
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
stoplight and in for Americans that's a
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
left for you know those crazies that
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
drive on the wrong side of the road it
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
would be making a right but for
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
Americans if you're trying to make a
[TS]
01:24:52
◼
►
left let's say that there are two lanes
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
to make a left-hand turn so you're on
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
presumably like a multi-lane Road and
[TS]
01:24:58
◼
►
you're gonna you're at a stoplight
[TS]
01:25:00
◼
►
you're gonna make a left-hand turn which
[TS]
01:25:01
◼
►
is the difficult turn for an American to
[TS]
01:25:03
◼
►
make so you stop the car and the stop
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
start probably kicks into the car yet
[TS]
01:25:08
◼
►
feels like it's stalled but it's
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
actually fine you go to take off once
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
the light turns green the car starts
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
right up that actually works really well
[TS]
01:25:16
◼
►
and like I said it's actually a little
[TS]
01:25:17
◼
►
smoother than Aaron's car surprisingly
[TS]
01:25:19
◼
►
especially since it's two more cylinders
[TS]
01:25:21
◼
►
and immediately wait we we because what
[TS]
01:25:26
◼
►
ends up happening is it thinks I perhaps
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
because I'm an idiot and I'm the only
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
American that ever uses my turn signal
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
it thinks that you're signaling to make
[TS]
01:25:35
◼
►
a lane change and it's trying to tell
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
you there's somebody next to you which
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
on the highway at like 70 miles an hour
[TS]
01:25:42
◼
►
or what-have-you
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
that is a useful thing but when you're
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
on a surface street accelerating from
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
zero miles an hour to 15 or 20 or 30 or
[TS]
01:25:51
◼
►
40 the moment you leave 0 miles an hour
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
and all of a sudden you get great great
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
great oh my word is it frustrating and a
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
lot of the roads in that in the area in
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
which I live are multi-lane roads in
[TS]
01:26:03
◼
►
each direction so there are a lot of
[TS]
01:26:05
◼
►
times when I'm being - I'll be making a
[TS]
01:26:07
◼
►
left adjacent to another car and all the
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
time I mean we we it is unbelievably
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
frustrating so here's an example of
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
where it's a great idea in principle but
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
it's just poorly executed the UConnect
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
thing with like all the Bluetooth bits
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
and bobs and all of that great idea in
[TS]
01:26:26
◼
►
principle not a good execution and
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
furthermore where's my damn car play
[TS]
01:26:30
◼
►
it's just infuriating and so so much of
[TS]
01:26:33
◼
►
this car and I know I say this about so
[TS]
01:26:35
◼
►
many things but it was death by a
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
thousand paper cuts I in a lot of ways I
[TS]
01:26:39
◼
►
really liked it
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
but God it was terrible any thoughts
[TS]
01:26:43
◼
►
about the car and then I'd like to do a
[TS]
01:26:44
◼
►
little inside baseball about what what
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
the delivery process was like can you
[TS]
01:26:49
◼
►
disable stop start yes and it's actually
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
a physical button right there on the
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
dashboard I've never had a car with that
[TS]
01:26:55
◼
►
but I haven't so desperately I think I
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
would not buy one if I couldn't turn it
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
off and have it remember the setting you
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
know it's really not that bad in the
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
grand no no no no you would notice I
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
noticed you would absolutely notice but
[TS]
01:27:13
◼
►
you do get used to it and especially if
[TS]
01:27:16
◼
►
you drive a car with three pedals I mean
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
I understand the theory and like I think
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
I would I might leave it on on something
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
big like a mini van or an SUV or some
[TS]
01:27:24
◼
►
other thing that I that I didn't
[TS]
01:27:26
◼
►
consider a real car like you don't know
[TS]
01:27:28
◼
►
me but I just don't want that I mean the
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
true chops stop-start is wood Marko has
[TS]
01:27:34
◼
►
when he's at a stoplight
[TS]
01:27:36
◼
►
nothing is perfect nothing is moving the
[TS]
01:27:38
◼
►
drive it has stopped but then when he
[TS]
01:27:41
◼
►
goes again he doesn't have to wait for
[TS]
01:27:44
◼
►
the engine to start and I know there's
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
not waiting I know they start really
[TS]
01:27:46
◼
►
fast the starter motors are fine they're
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
built to be to be started you'll you
[TS]
01:27:49
◼
►
know maybe you'll notice but you'll
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
they'll never be any legs I don't I
[TS]
01:27:53
◼
►
don't want that I don't want it at all
[TS]
01:27:54
◼
►
it still sucks no I mean like Tim to me
[TS]
01:27:57
◼
►
like all like start/stop CV T's all
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
these new autos that have like a million
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
different gears in them to me it's kind
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
of like when LCD came out for TVs and
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
LCDs were ok but they and they were
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
fairly simple but then towards the you
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
know middle and end of the LCD era in
[TS]
01:28:18
◼
►
TVs they started adding all these crazy
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
hacks to try to boost their spec so
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
that's when you start getting like the
[TS]
01:28:24
◼
►
weird dynamic backlighting and like all
[TS]
01:28:26
◼
►
sorts like weird hacks that really were
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
just like piles upon piles of hacks that
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
made certain things worse all in an
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
effort to try to boost specs towards the
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
end of their life before we switch to a
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
superior technology of OLED and that
[TS]
01:28:42
◼
►
that to me is what gas engine cars are
[TS]
01:28:45
◼
►
going through for like the last 10 years
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
or so they are trying so hard to eke out
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
every single last mile per gallon to
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
new spec requirements and to be more
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
competitive and everything but they're
[TS]
01:28:58
◼
►
just adding all these crazy hacks that
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
add up to being a lot less fun to drive
[TS]
01:29:02
◼
►
or a lot less nice of a drive in certain
[TS]
01:29:04
◼

ways and to certain people who care
[TS]
01:29:05

about such things and you know really
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
this is it these are just all temporary
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
hacks on the way to the next thing which
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
is electric but you know on in cars
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
things move more slowly and so it's good
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
you know we're gonna be in the tradition
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
for a while but ultimately we're gonna
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
look back on all these crazy gaff engine
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
hacks as just these awful relics of a
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
transitional time and also the sensor
[TS]
01:29:28
◼
►
stuff this is kind of the I think we're
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
in the mouse mouse motor seatbelt error
[TS]
01:29:32
◼
►
I don't know if the mouse model not
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
getting it right but remember do you
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
remember the seatbelts there was that
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
there was a requirement I think it was
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
like a government requirement in the US
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
that you either had to have airbags or
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
automatic motorised seatbelts do you
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
remember the seatbelts that go along a
[TS]
01:29:48
◼
►
little track along like the a-pillar Hat
[TS]
01:29:50
◼
►
what those were for yeah because it was
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
like before car makers weren't ready to
[TS]
01:29:54
◼
►
put airbags in yet so like well we've
[TS]
01:29:56
◼
►
got this bottle of car and we haven't
[TS]
01:29:59
◼
►
figured out the whole airbag thing yet
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
or we don't have a supplier or we
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
haven't certified it or the car is
[TS]
01:30:02
◼
►
almost done or whatever so they would
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
put in the motorized seatbelt so when
[TS]
01:30:06
◼
►
you open the door this little motorized
[TS]
01:30:07
◼
►
thing with a round down you're a pillar
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
with the shoulder harness attached to it
[TS]
01:30:11
◼
►
and then you'd get in the car and close
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
the door and they would go run and motor
[TS]
01:30:14
◼
►
back up to like over your shoulder
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
that's what my Saturn had and though
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
first of all those are an abomination
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
and I never would have bought a car with
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
them and they're terrible but it was
[TS]
01:30:23
◼
►
like Oh from now on safety features will
[TS]
01:30:25
◼
►
just be more and more invasive but no
[TS]
01:30:27
◼
►
like we figured that out eventually we
[TS]
01:30:29
◼
►
got the airbag thing figured out the
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
motorized seatbelts went away so I feel
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
like sensors are in the little motorized
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
seatbelt there where it's like sensors
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
are good we want them for safety
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
governments are gonna require certain
[TS]
01:30:40
◼
►
things or whatever but a lot of them are
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
poorly implemented like Casey's you know
[TS]
01:30:43
◼
►
Lane detection thing that is telling
[TS]
01:30:45
◼
►
them he's gonna go into a lane where
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
somebody is there and really he's just
[TS]
01:30:48
◼
►
making a left along with a bunch of
[TS]
01:30:49
◼
►
other people right sensors are good we
[TS]
01:30:52
◼
►
should have more than we should have
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
more cameras you know all the stuff that
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
like makes it easy to park and you know
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
the backup cameras are mandated in 2017
[TS]
01:30:58
◼
►
models and later in the u.s. I think
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
like those are all good but a lot of the
[TS]
01:31:02
◼
►
early implementations are not good and
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
so we get angry like oh the safety
[TS]
01:31:06
◼
►
equipment sucks
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
don't want to have all these electronic
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
sensors blue Konami I want the sensors I
[TS]
01:31:10
◼
►
don't want them blooping at me so I'm
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
hoping that these the the incredibly
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
annoying blooping sensors we could that
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
we get this figured out and it settles
[TS]
01:31:20
◼
►
down into the current state of like
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
safety equipment like airbags where you
[TS]
01:31:23
◼
►
don't notice them they're small the
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
steering wheels aren't gigantic because
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
of them anymore and we just all you know
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
except the safety benefits of them but I
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
don't know it's been a while with the
[TS]
01:31:33
◼
►
sensors and almost every review it still
[TS]
01:31:35
◼
►
raises like mentions hey can you turn
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
that stuff off like in some ways I'm
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
always kind of glad that I didn't get
[TS]
01:31:40
◼
►
that more expensive option on my Accord
[TS]
01:31:42
◼
►
for the Honda sensing packages stuff
[TS]
01:31:44
◼
►
because I have the backup camera which
[TS]
01:31:46
◼
►
is the most important thing but all the
[TS]
01:31:47
◼
►
other sensing stuff for like lane change
[TS]
01:31:49
◼
►
and whatever like I guess it would be
[TS]
01:31:52
◼
►
easier than turning my head but I would
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
probably still turn my head anyway I
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
mean forever it's worth the both the BMW
[TS]
01:31:58
◼
►
and the Tesla systems for these things
[TS]
01:31:59
◼
►
have not been annoying they have not
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
annoyed me at times where they shouldn't
[TS]
01:32:03
◼
►
they've been they've been great the
[TS]
01:32:05
◼
►
Volvo's is very good as well the only
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
problem I have with the Volvo is there's
[TS]
01:32:08
◼
►
been a couple of times when it's done a
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
panic stop on behalf of the driver when
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
really it wasn't necessary which is very
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
startling but that's only been a couple
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
of times where we're by comparison with
[TS]
01:32:20
◼
►
the Jeep you know half the time I was
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
driving in a couple other thoughts
[TS]
01:32:26
◼
►
actually before we do a little inside
[TS]
01:32:27
◼
►
baseball remote start on a car that you
[TS]
01:32:30
◼
►
can only cool once the cars started that
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
is awesome
[TS]
01:32:34
◼
►
Aaron's car can be remote started
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
curiously enough from the Volvo app but
[TS]
01:32:38
◼
►
cannot be remote started from the key
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
fob which is kind of backwards from what
[TS]
01:32:41
◼
►
I would expect but this thing had a
[TS]
01:32:43
◼
►
remote start right on the key fob and
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
that was super nice ventilated seats
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
there cool I guess and I don't mean that
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
to be punny but it didn't make that big
[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
of a difference I certainly liked it and
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
if it was like a one or two hundred
[TS]
01:32:54
◼
►
dollar option on a phantom car I was
[TS]
01:32:56
◼
►
about to buy I would probably tick that
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
check box but if it was like a five
[TS]
01:32:59
◼
►
hundred thousand dollar option no way
[TS]
01:33:01
◼
►
cooled seats heated seats are different
[TS]
01:33:03
◼
►
beasts heated seats are easy oh very
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
much yeah yeah cooled seats i I've I've
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
had a number of different ones my
[TS]
01:33:09
◼
►
current car doesn't have them because at
[TS]
01:33:11
◼
►
the time I bought a Tesla didn't offer
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
them I think it still doesn't the way
[TS]
01:33:14
◼
►
cool seats are implemented makes a huge
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
difference in how useful or not useful
[TS]
01:33:18
◼
►
they are
[TS]
01:33:19
◼
►
what is cooling them are they
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
taking like an offshoot of event from
[TS]
01:33:22
◼
►
the main system and cooling you that way
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
are they just blowing air like with
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
their own little fan do they have their
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
own compressor even like there are
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
different degrees of cooled seats and it
[TS]
01:33:33
◼
►
makes a big difference also like one
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
issue I had with the the m5 had it but I
[TS]
01:33:37
◼
►
almost never used it because the like
[TS]
01:33:40
◼
►
the cut of the fabric on the sport seats
[TS]
01:33:42
◼
►
didn't have a lot of room for like the
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
big the big areas with the holes that
[TS]
01:33:48
◼
►
would ventilate so like it would cool
[TS]
01:33:50
◼
►
like part of my you know thighs but not
[TS]
01:33:53
◼
►
like the whole area that needed to be
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
cooled and there wasn't a lot of airflow
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
like the way you'd sit in it we just
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
kind of like block it shut the best I
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
ever I have felt yet a while back Tiff's
[TS]
01:34:05
◼
►
had a Lexus is250
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
and that one had really nice
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
air-conditioned seats that they would it
[TS]
01:34:11
◼
►
was it was like sitting on a glorious
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
air-conditioned air hockey table like
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
you would you would feel it it cooled
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
really strongly to the point where
[TS]
01:34:18
◼
►
eventually or later we get cold you turn
[TS]
01:34:20
◼
►
it down and I that never I never had to
[TS]
01:34:22
◼
►
turn it down in the m5 like that I was
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
always like I was just dying for more
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
but for what I understand there are a
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
lot of different levels of how how good
[TS]
01:34:32
◼
►
these things can be so I'm not familiar
[TS]
01:34:35
◼
►
with the one that was in your your you
[TS]
01:34:38
◼
►
know big Jeep monstrosity but maybe it
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
was just not one of the good ones
[TS]
01:34:41
◼
►
yeah very well could be and I think
[TS]
01:34:44
◼
►
that's mostly it obviously I will you
[TS]
01:34:47
◼
►
know write some amount of review for my
[TS]
01:34:49
◼
►
website about this what was interesting
[TS]
01:34:51
◼
►
about it was apparently you know Fiat
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
and all the other car manufacturers have
[TS]
01:34:56
◼
►
you know these fleets of vehicles and
[TS]
01:34:58
◼
►
there's you know presumably one in the
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
East Coast one of the Midwest and one in
[TS]
01:35:00
◼
►
the west coast and so when this was
[TS]
01:35:03
◼
►
being arranged you know I had come to
[TS]
01:35:05
◼
►
find out that that the car was in I
[TS]
01:35:08
◼
►
actually thought at the time DC it turns
[TS]
01:35:10
◼
►
out it was actually in Baltimore which
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
is about a three-hour drive from where I
[TS]
01:35:13
◼
►
am and so when we were arranging it I
[TS]
01:35:16
◼
►
had assumed that that meant I would have
[TS]
01:35:17
◼
►
to like meet the driver halfway somehow
[TS]
01:35:21
◼
►
and like pick the car up and then drive
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
it the rest away but as it turns out no
[TS]
01:35:24
◼
►
when you're pressed oh they come to you
[TS]
01:35:26
◼
►
they drove the car all the way to me we
[TS]
01:35:29
◼
►
spoke for about two minutes they handed
[TS]
01:35:31
◼
►
me the keys and then they drove back to
[TS]
01:35:33
◼
►
Baltimore and that
[TS]
01:35:34
◼
►
that in tomorrow they're going to come
[TS]
01:35:35
◼
►
to my house I will presumably speak with
[TS]
01:35:38
◼
►
them for two minutes and then they will
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
go back to Baltimore which I just
[TS]
01:35:41
◼
►
thought was was the most bonkers thing
[TS]
01:35:43
◼
►
but I guess that's normal
[TS]
01:35:45
◼
►
there was no formal or implied agreement
[TS]
01:35:49
◼
►
that I would write or talk about any of
[TS]
01:35:51
◼
►
this really um obviously I wanted to in
[TS]
01:35:54
◼
►
part because I feel like I kind of owed
[TS]
01:35:55
◼
►
it to them but they never said like it
[TS]
01:35:57
◼
►
has to be a good review it has to be so
[TS]
01:35:59
◼
►
long or anything like that I mean they
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
never really even said you have to talk
[TS]
01:36:02
◼
►
about it they just said hey if you want
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
the car you can have the car and I said
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
yes please it's a very odd thing and I'm
[TS]
01:36:07
◼
►
and I'm very thankful to Sam for kind of
[TS]
01:36:09
◼
►
arranging this for me and we'll see if
[TS]
01:36:12
◼
►
we get the car that I was originally
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
slated to get because you know like I
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
said this was kind of the apology tour
[TS]
01:36:17
◼
►
car we'll see if I ever do get my hands
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
on the thing I originally wanted to get
[TS]
01:36:21
◼
►
and well we'll find out is it from the
[TS]
01:36:24
◼
►
same company it is it is from Fiat
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
Chrysler America I mean maybe so there
[TS]
01:36:33
◼
►
have been a couple of times what I've
[TS]
01:36:35
◼
►
been given review samples of things and
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
it's similar in this in the sense that
[TS]
01:36:40
◼
►
you know they don't I've never been
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
asked to provide a positive review in
[TS]
01:36:44
◼
►
exchange for receiving a thing I mean
[TS]
01:36:45
◼
►
I'm sure there are like less ethical
[TS]
01:36:48
◼
►
companies that will ask press that but I
[TS]
01:36:51
◼
►
don't think they would last very long
[TS]
01:36:52
◼
►
doing that because that's like that's a
[TS]
01:36:54
◼
►
massive ethical problem and I think you
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
know the press would not react kindly to
[TS]
01:36:58
◼
►
being asked to do that so you know no
[TS]
01:37:00
◼
►
one's ever asked me for a review or a
[TS]
01:37:02
◼
►
positive review or anything but the
[TS]
01:37:04
◼
►
implication is always that they expect a
[TS]
01:37:06
◼
►
review mmm it's never a usually you know
[TS]
01:37:09
◼
►
it's never like I don't like sign a
[TS]
01:37:10
◼
►
contract saying I'm going to review it
[TS]
01:37:12
◼
►
but usually the implication is they're
[TS]
01:37:14
◼
►
sending me these things for me to review
[TS]
01:37:17
◼
►
them usually when I give a particularly
[TS]
01:37:19
◼
►
negative review I don't usually hear
[TS]
01:37:21

from that company again so given your
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
summary of this car right I don't know
[TS]
01:37:29
◼
►
how this company works and how they deal
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
with their you know their press outreach
[TS]
01:37:33
◼
►
and review units but I maybe wouldn't
[TS]
01:37:37
◼
►
expect you to get whatever car that you
[TS]
01:37:40
◼
►
actually wanted the relationship might
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
end at this point I'm just saying it
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
shouldn't work that way but it does work
[TS]
01:37:47
◼
►
that way
[TS]
01:37:48
◼
►
if for a lot of companies a lot of the
[TS]
01:37:50
◼
►
time so and this is honestly this is
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
part of the problem with that style of
[TS]
01:37:55
◼
►
review this is one of the you know when
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
you combine it also with like you know
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
the nature of advertising driven
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
publications this is also one of the
[TS]
01:38:03
◼
►
reasons why there's often a conflict of
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
interest and and one of the reasons why
[TS]
01:38:07
◼
►
like you know I think Consumer Reports
[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
famously just goes and buys their cars
[TS]
01:38:12
◼
►
to review like they don't take review
[TS]
01:38:14
◼
►
samples because that can be seen as as
[TS]
01:38:17
◼
►
affecting the outcome or you know as and
[TS]
01:38:19
◼
►
and even if you are even if you try so
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
hard you know as the reviewer to be
[TS]
01:38:24
◼
►
neutral and to be you know objective
[TS]
01:38:27
◼
►
about everything it still does make you
[TS]
01:38:30
◼
►
feel better about a company if you got
[TS]
01:38:32
◼
►
something for free it does affect the
[TS]
01:38:35
◼
►
way you frame it in your mind even
[TS]
01:38:37
◼
►
subconsciously it's very very hard to
[TS]
01:38:40
◼
►
try to turn that off and try to be
[TS]
01:38:42
◼
►
totally objective there's a big
[TS]
01:38:45
◼
►
justification I think to publications
[TS]
01:38:48
◼
►
and reviewers who don't accept freebies
[TS]
01:38:50
◼
►
and who just buy the things they review
[TS]
01:38:53
◼
►
so the corollary to this is the Consumer
[TS]
01:38:55
◼
►
Reports has terrible car reviews and the
[TS]
01:38:59
◼
►
good car magazine it's a good car
[TS]
01:39:01
◼
►
magazines like Car and Driver have spent
[TS]
01:39:03
◼
►
decades crapping on entire brands and
[TS]
01:39:07
◼
►
lines of cars and companies just decade
[TS]
01:39:09
◼
►
after decade of GM makes crap everything
[TS]
01:39:12
◼
►
they make is terrible and they still
[TS]
01:39:13
◼
►
keep sending on their cars right so like
[TS]
01:39:15
◼
►
it's obviously you're not Car and Driver
[TS]
01:39:18
◼
►
so Marco is probably right in your case
[TS]
01:39:20
◼
►
right they don't need you but if you're
[TS]
01:39:22
◼
►
big enough and important enough they'll
[TS]
01:39:24
◼
►
just keep sending you cars even if every
[TS]
01:39:26
◼
►
single time you send them like like you
[TS]
01:39:28
◼
►
crap on their cars right and they'll say
[TS]
01:39:31
◼
►
things pretty much just as harsh as what
[TS]
01:39:33
◼
►
Casey said only in slightly a different
[TS]
01:39:34
◼
►
language like cum and less than all the
[TS]
01:39:37
◼
►
comparison tests the summary reviews are
[TS]
01:39:39
◼
►
terrible I mean how I read you the the
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
one-liner
[TS]
01:39:41
◼
►
summary of the Acura TLX is an
[TS]
01:39:43
◼
►
automotive wallpaper do you think I keep
[TS]
01:39:46
◼
►
sending them their cars but they're
[TS]
01:39:47
◼
►
going to they're gonna keep sending them
[TS]
01:39:49
◼
►
because of their car and driver so it is
[TS]
01:39:50
◼
►
possible to get enough clout to I mean
[TS]
01:39:53
◼
►
you know people complain like the best
[TS]
01:39:55
◼
►
complains about Car and Driver is there
[TS]
01:39:57
◼
►
on BMWs payroll because they love BMWs
[TS]
01:39:59
◼
►
few years but guess what that changed
[TS]
01:40:00
◼
►
recently
[TS]
01:40:01
◼
►
by the time they added electric steering
[TS]
01:40:03
◼
►
starts screwing up all their cars and it
[TS]
01:40:05
◼
►
changed a little bit with the bangle
[TS]
01:40:06
◼
►
error with styling so now people now all
[TS]
01:40:10
◼
►
the the conspiracy theorists don't know
[TS]
01:40:12
◼
►
what to do it was just like I thought we
[TS]
01:40:13
◼
►
were paid off with BMW BMW losing
[TS]
01:40:15
◼
►
comparison tests and all the reviews are
[TS]
01:40:16
◼
►
negative so you know some some form of
[TS]
01:40:20
◼
►
decent journalistic independence is
[TS]
01:40:21
◼
►
possible even if you get free cars and
[TS]
01:40:24
◼
►
going all depressed or isn't written on
[TS]
01:40:26
◼
►
it but look at Casey is not Car and
[TS]
01:40:28
◼
►
Driver so I don't know it's gonna shake
[TS]
01:40:29
◼
►
out yeah you're right once once you're
[TS]
01:40:31
◼
►
big enough that they have to send your
[TS]
01:40:33
◼
►
review sample just to be relevant in the
[TS]
01:40:35
◼
►
press like if you're big enough for that
[TS]
01:40:37
◼
►
then yeah then a lot of this stops
[TS]
01:40:39
◼
►
applying to you because yeah they're
[TS]
01:40:40
◼
►
gonna Center to you anyway but it when
[TS]
01:40:42
◼
►
you're a smaller reviewer or when you're
[TS]
01:40:44
◼
►
just try and get started it's really
[TS]
01:40:46
◼
►
really hard to to to risk getting on a
[TS]
01:40:49
◼
►
company's bad side because that might
[TS]
01:40:51
◼
►
cut off your supply of review units uh
[TS]
01:40:53
◼
►
weird thing is the the nicer the car
[TS]
01:40:57
◼
►
like sort of objectively the harder it
[TS]
01:41:00
◼
►
is to get those cars to the companies
[TS]
01:41:02
◼
►
sending you the car so a lot of car
[TS]
01:41:04
◼
►
magazines have a lot of difficulty
[TS]
01:41:05
◼
►
getting the supercars or the top-end
[TS]
01:41:08
◼
►
luxury brands because they don't want
[TS]
01:41:11
◼
►
anyone possibly saying anything negative
[TS]
01:41:13
◼
►
about their you know half a million
[TS]
01:41:14
◼
►
dollar car and they don't need you
[TS]
01:41:17
◼
►
because no one reading that magazine is
[TS]
01:41:18
◼
►
gonna buy that car anyway so they have
[TS]
01:41:21
◼
►
to do like what Top Gear used to do is
[TS]
01:41:23
◼
►
like find an owner who's nice enough to
[TS]
01:41:24
◼
►
let them drive their car because they
[TS]
01:41:26
◼
►
can't get any funding manufacturer that
[TS]
01:41:27
◼
►
manufacturer won't even return their
[TS]
01:41:29
◼
►
calls it's like no thanks why would we
[TS]
01:41:31
◼
►
let you say anything bad about our car
[TS]
01:41:32
◼
►
we're just gonna say that our car is
[TS]
01:41:34
◼
►
wonderful and sell it for millions of
[TS]
01:41:36
◼
►
dollars and they're all already sold
[TS]
01:41:37
◼
►
right we don't need your car magazine
[TS]
01:41:39
◼
►
and nobody subscribing to your stupid
[TS]
01:41:41
◼
►
magazine has enough money to buy our car
[TS]
01:41:42
◼
►
anyway so forget it so it's not all of
[TS]
01:41:45
◼
►
them obviously but that's that's more
[TS]
01:41:46
◼
►
likely the case when you're not going to
[TS]
01:41:48
◼
►
get a car to because of some kind of a
[TS]
01:41:49
◼
►
that says why would we even risk you
[TS]
01:41:51
◼
►
saying anything remotely negative about
[TS]
01:41:52
◼
►
our car why would you risk you like
[TS]
01:41:54
◼
►
comparing it directly to into one of our
[TS]
01:41:56
◼
►
competitors card we don't want that to
[TS]
01:41:57
◼
►
happen it's all downside for us yeah
[TS]
01:42:00
◼
►
I haven't talked to Sam about what the
[TS]
01:42:03
◼
►
best approach is because I'm going to
[TS]
01:42:05
◼
►
write about it in some way shape or form
[TS]
01:42:07
◼
►
I I'm almost sure of it but I don't know
[TS]
01:42:09
◼
►
if maybe I hold that until I get a date
[TS]
01:42:12
◼
►
for the phantom car that the in
[TS]
01:42:15
◼
►
and the thing that I was promised
[TS]
01:42:17
◼
►
originally is something that is much
[TS]
01:42:18
◼
►
more in my speed and so I'm much more
[TS]
01:42:20
◼
►
inclined to enjoy it in fact I had
[TS]
01:42:23
◼
►
feared when I before I realized I wasn't
[TS]
01:42:26
◼
►
getting it anytime soon I had feared
[TS]
01:42:28
◼
►
that I would like it enough that that I
[TS]
01:42:30
◼
►
would end up choosing that car to
[TS]
01:42:33
◼
►
replace the 335 whenever that time comes
[TS]
01:42:35
◼
►
so it is much more in my wheelhouse this
[TS]
01:42:39
◼
►
this phantom car that I'm hoping to get
[TS]
01:42:41
◼
►
you keep saying Fiat Chrysler I'm like
[TS]
01:42:43
◼
►
is he getting a rebate that restyled me
[TS]
01:42:46
◼
►
out of the Fiat 124 but it is good now
[TS]
01:42:54
◼
►
that you say you think you're replacing
[TS]
01:42:55
◼
►
your car it's got to be one of those
[TS]
01:42:56
◼
►
stupid what do they make what's there
[TS]
01:42:59
◼
►
they don't own Cadillac do they they do
[TS]
01:43:01
◼
►
not know that's Jim
[TS]
01:43:03
◼
►
I was worried you're trying to get one
[TS]
01:43:04
◼
►
of those weird like angled Cadillac m3
[TS]
01:43:06
◼
►
things well I almost bought the CTSV I'm
[TS]
01:43:09
◼
►
trying to think of what your replaces
[TS]
01:43:11
◼
►
BMW what the hell does just Chrysler I
[TS]
01:43:13
◼
►
think I'm guessing if Casey's looking to
[TS]
01:43:15
◼
►
replace is BMW it's gonna be some kind
[TS]
01:43:17
◼
►
of small hatchback that's fast and that
[TS]
01:43:21
◼
►
has has a way worse interior than his
[TS]
01:43:23
◼
►
BMW that's made by Chrysler I don't know
[TS]
01:43:26
◼
►
I don't know anything about cars Dodge
[TS]
01:43:27
◼
►
is it anyway so let me suggest something
[TS]
01:43:35
◼
►
even though this is not to the best
[TS]
01:43:38
◼
►
journalistic integrity you gave you a
[TS]
01:43:40
◼
►
review of this car you just did it here

01:43:42
◼
►

01:43:56
◼
►
from any kind of negative repercussions
[TS]
01:43:58
◼
►
that might arise with this company that

and you said it's not the Julia - right
[TS]
01:46:37
◼
►
I guess the did I say that okay so it's
[TS]
01:46:40
◼
►
the Julia fine fine I hope you get it
[TS]
01:46:41
◼
►
cuz this looks awesome
[TS]
01:46:42
◼
►
right well then and then it's the Julia
[TS]
01:46:44
◼
►
yeah that's really better now that
[TS]
01:46:45
◼
►
you're an SUV person is it a Stella vo
[TS]
01:46:47
◼
►
Quadrifoglio no it is not
[TS]
01:46:50
◼
►
anyway the Julia is a really good car
[TS]
01:46:52
◼
►
and I think you'll really like it if you
[TS]
01:46:53
◼
►
can stomach the looks and if it doesn't
[TS]
01:46:55
◼
►
fall apart I absolutely can stomach the
[TS]
01:46:58
◼
►
looks the thing I might not be able to
[TS]
01:47:00
◼
►
stomach is the transmission but the
[TS]
01:47:02
◼
►
stick is only Europe that's right the
[TS]
01:47:05
◼
►
reviews I've read say that even with the
[TS]
01:47:07
◼
►
automatic that is a really good car I
[TS]
01:47:08
◼
►
think you will like I have read the same
[TS]
01:47:10
◼
►
but but if you are concerned with
[TS]
01:47:11
◼
►
expensive repairs and reliability
[TS]
01:47:13
◼
►
perhaps Alfa Romeo it's not the brand
[TS]
01:47:15
◼
►
for you that's the problem so I don't
[TS]
01:47:19
◼
►
know we'll see we'll see if this 4c ever
[TS]
01:47:21
◼
►
shows rx re not the four see if the
[TS]
01:47:23
◼
►
Quadrifoglio ever shows up
[TS]
01:47:25
◼
►
my guess is probably not but but yet I
[TS]
01:47:28
◼
►
mean this is basically an m3 competitor
[TS]
01:47:30
◼
►
and and it looks - I think it looks good
[TS]
01:47:33
◼
►
I know you hate it I think it looks good
[TS]
01:47:35
◼
►
and if you can if you can leave the
[TS]
01:47:37
◼
►
transmission out of it oh man I think
[TS]
01:47:40
◼
►
this would be a fun car to own so if and
[TS]
01:47:42
◼
►
when I ever got a spin with it it would
[TS]
01:47:44
◼
►
be great
[TS]
01:47:44
◼
►
here's my problem with this number one
[TS]
01:47:47
◼
►
price to performance ratio here it looks
[TS]
01:47:50
◼
►
like in order to get a car that's
[TS]
01:47:52
◼
►
actually faster than your 335 you'd have
[TS]
01:47:55
◼
►
to go Quadrifoglio which is 72 thousand
[TS]
01:47:58
◼
►
dollars starting price which is
[TS]
01:48:00
◼
►
admittedly noticeably faster which is
[TS]
01:48:02
◼
►
nice like that it would be a nice
[TS]
01:48:04
◼
►
upgrade but your ear then you're then in
[TS]
01:48:06
◼
►
a very high price bracket oh yes
[TS]
01:48:08
◼
►
secondly if you're gonna lose a stick
[TS]
01:48:11
◼
►
and not have a DCT and be willing to
[TS]
01:48:14
◼
►
spend seventy two thousand dollars get a
[TS]
01:48:16
◼
►
use p85d yeah yeah yeah well at that
[TS]
01:48:20
◼
►
point if you're not gonna have a stick
[TS]
01:48:21
◼
►
get a Tesla and then get a faster car
[TS]
01:48:24
◼
►
this makes better noises no test leave
[TS]
01:48:26
◼
►
no the Tesla might be faster this is
[TS]
01:48:28
◼
►
lighter than the Tesla - you're not
[TS]
01:48:30
◼
►
gonna care the noises it makes when you
[TS]
01:48:32
◼
►
are squished against the back of your
[TS]
01:48:34
◼
►
seat from the p85d that you can get used
[TS]
01:48:36
◼
►
for that price it's not that much faster
[TS]
01:48:38
◼
►
than this thing handles better well I
[TS]
01:48:42
◼
►
mean if you're getting to 60 in 3.8
[TS]
01:48:45
◼
►
seconds you're already in a place where
[TS]
01:48:47
◼
►
you are way faster than what I'm used to
[TS]
01:48:49
◼
►
and the sound oh that sound is sound and
[TS]
01:48:54
◼
►
in this price bracket it's 70 grand like
[TS]
01:48:56
◼
►
came out on top against other cars some
[TS]
01:48:57
◼
►
of which cost more so it's not like
[TS]
01:48:59
◼
►
there's a cheaper car that is better to
[TS]
01:49:01
◼
►
have this out there today and I and I'm
[TS]
01:49:03
◼
►
pretty sure if they had thrown a Model S
[TS]
01:49:05
◼
►
into that comparison were to come back
[TS]
01:49:06
◼
►
way in the back because despite it being
[TS]
01:49:08
◼
►
really fast it is like a 5000 pound car
[TS]
01:49:10
◼
►
and they would get destroyed and all the
[TS]
01:49:12
◼
►
handling tests that's fair but I still
[TS]
01:49:15
◼
►
like if this car was available in a
[TS]
01:49:17
◼
►
stick or a DCT I would say awesome go
[TS]
01:49:20
◼
►
for it but because you care so much
[TS]
01:49:22
◼
►
about that stick and because this is not
[TS]
01:49:25
◼
►
available on that stick I think you
[TS]
01:49:27
◼
►
would be I think you would miss it and
[TS]
01:49:28
◼
►
if you're gonna miss it go electric what
[TS]
01:49:31
◼
►
you have other great benefits and better
[TS]
01:49:33
◼
►
performance anyway or get something
[TS]
01:49:35
◼
►
different than how they stick and you'll
[TS]
01:49:37
◼
►
probably enjoy it more I bet I assume
[TS]
01:49:39
◼
►
your your beloved Golf R comes in a
[TS]
01:49:41
◼
►
stick right oh it absolutely does I bet
[TS]
01:49:43
◼
►
you would have more fun driving that
[TS]
01:49:45
◼
►
than driving this that's probably true
[TS]
01:49:49
◼
►
but nevertheless I think there is
[TS]
01:49:53
◼
►
something to be said for for a car that
[TS]
01:49:55
◼
►
is kind of rare kind of interesting kind
[TS]
01:49:58
◼
►
of unique and has basically a Ferrari
[TS]
01:50:01
◼
►
engine within it I mean that's that's
[TS]
01:50:03
◼
►
pretty freakin cool
[TS]
01:50:04
◼
►
I don't know I I like the idea of the
[TS]
01:50:08
◼
►
Julia Quadrifoglio quite a while quite a
[TS]
01:50:09
◼
►
lot but I think Marco is onto something
[TS]
01:50:11
◼
►
that in pure fun I would probably enjoy
[TS]
01:50:14
◼
►
the Gulf are more in part because it's
[TS]
01:50:17
◼
►
all wheel drive and as much as I fancy
[TS]
01:50:19
◼
►
myself a really skilled driver the fact
[TS]
01:50:21
◼
►
of the matter is I'm a ham-fisted driver
[TS]
01:50:23
◼
►
and having all-wheel drive would keep me
[TS]
01:50:25
◼
►
out of trouble now less trouble well you
[TS]
01:50:28
◼
►
know what I mean but I and I'd want to
[TS]
01:50:29
◼
►
have three pedals I really would but you
[TS]
01:50:32
◼
►
know Civic type-r if you want to have
[TS]
01:50:34
◼
►
some fun and stay out of trouble
[TS]
01:50:35
◼
►

[TS]
01:50:37
◼
►
trouble super fun you'll find yourself
[TS]
01:50:39
◼
►
in an action movie with those you know
[TS]
01:50:41
◼
►
what that friends I mean the fact is
[TS]
01:50:46
◼
►
like if you if you want fun you want a
[TS]
01:50:49
◼
►
stick like that's I know you you know
[TS]
01:50:52
◼
►
you you know this is true yeah this car
[TS]
01:50:54
◼
►
would be really fast and you'd have fun
[TS]
01:50:57
◼
►
for a couple of days and then you'd miss
[TS]
01:50:59
◼
►
your stick and then after a couple of
[TS]
01:51:01
◼
►
days the novelty will will have worn off
[TS]
01:51:03
◼
►
you won't care about who made the engine
[TS]
01:51:05
◼
►
or what it was originally expect for you
[TS]
01:51:07
◼
►
will be really miss
[TS]
01:51:09
◼
►
your stick like he's getting old maybe
[TS]
01:51:11
◼
►
he's maybe he's become soft and maybe he
[TS]
01:51:13
◼
►
will like the dough like I was thick and
[TS]
01:51:15
◼
►
just get by on me the luxurious the
[TS]
01:51:18
◼
►
luxurious interior and the sound of the
[TS]
01:51:20
◼
►
engine and he just won't even miss
[TS]
01:51:21
◼
►
shifting I mean it is possible it
[TS]
01:51:23
◼
►
certainly is possible but I still come
[TS]
01:51:25
◼
►
down a marco side so far but I mean if
[TS]
01:51:28
◼
►
and when I ever get it to spin in this
[TS]
01:51:29
◼
►
which to be honest I'm assuming will
[TS]
01:51:31
◼
►
never happen you can go take a test
[TS]
01:51:33
◼
►
