00:59:07 ◼   ► thing they use for the force touch no not the Star Wars thing but on the Apple [TS]

00:59:11 ◼   ► wants a reference Casey I got it where you press really hard on the Apple [TS]

00:59:16 ◼   ► watching it could tell the difference between that and like a regular tap you [TS]

00:59:21 ◼   ► know what this person says forced touch technology is probably a branding or [TS]

00:59:25 ◼   ► whatever to tell the difference between a tap-in daddy press in the idea that's [TS]

00:59:29 ◼   ► kind of creepy the idea that is that we better than I had a lot of people who [TS]

00:59:38 ◼   ► who don't like it [TS]

00:59:38 ◼   ► you don't like it because it's easy to accidentally tapped sometimes because [TS]

00:59:42 ◼   ► you know just out of any finger brushing against the track that counts as the [TS]

00:59:45 ◼   ► clicking you know when that happened while this supposedly would make it much [TS]

00:59:50 ◼   ► less ambiguous when you're cooking and when you're not still without a track [TS]

00:59:57 ◼   ► just sort of tap your finger lightly on the pad and you are actually pressing [TS]

01:00:00 ◼   ► even though the thing doesn't move see this I'm a little skeptical if they mean [TS]

01:00:05 ◼   ► it makes sense you know it's plausible this is what they might be doing but [TS]

01:00:09 ◼   ► because none of us have actually done for stocks to watch yet I don't like it [TS]

01:00:15 ◼   ► you have to push hard at all it's going to be really tedious and ergonomically [TS]

01:00:19 ◼   ► questionable [TS]

01:00:20 ◼   ► hard I think I think the thing is a misnomer my guess is that it's figure [TS]

01:00:25 ◼   ► out how much your finger squishes like the contact patch and changes and I [TS]

01:00:29 ◼   ► would assume that that's what the trackpad is using to determine the force [TS]

01:00:32 ◼   ► not like actual pressure or maybe the combination of both but I don't think [TS]

01:00:36 ◼   ► it's gonna be like and you'll be able to tell I guess if you take something that [TS]

01:00:40 ◼   ► does not make a larger contact patch when you press and see if you can force [TS]

01:00:44 ◼   ► touch with that I don't know what that would be news I'm kind of like [TS]

01:00:47 ◼   ► cylindrical hotdogs and something that is like the water you know you need [TS]

01:00:53 ◼   ► something that's filled with water like a human finger and press with it in a [TS]

01:00:57 ◼   ► way that the contact patch does not change size and maybe it's a combination [TS]

01:01:01 ◼   ► but you're right we none of us have tried to force touch in the washer [TS]

01:01:03 ◼   ► telling us that the track that it can be just like to watch almost tells us [TS]

01:01:07 ◼   ► nothing by the way for whatever it's worth I actually when when the Apple [TS]

01:01:12 ◼   ► announced that two months ago and they talked about four stocks I had [TS]

01:01:15 ◼   ► speculated on the show they were probably just measuring their the radius [TS]

01:01:19 ◼   ► of the touch you know like shit passively not national mission force and [TS]

01:01:23 ◼   ► I think we got a couple of people who sent a member exactly what I think we [TS]

01:01:28 ◼   ► got a couple of people telling us they actually there actually were pressure [TS]

01:01:31 ◼   ► sensors sensors as well so I think there's something there but either way [TS]

01:01:35 ◼   ► you know we'll see how this pans out in practice I was very skeptical of the [TS]

01:01:40 ◼   ► current contract that we have the the quote but unless for the kind of the [TS]

01:01:44 ◼   ► whole thing as a button and just hangs in the top I was very skeptical that [TS]

01:01:47 ◼   ► when it came out and it turned out to be just fine and normal [TS]

01:01:49 ◼   ► so you know this sounds really weird but it might be awesome I guess we'll find [TS]

01:01:55 ◼   ► out there is a thing on the Apple watch page but the Apple technology page at [TS]

01:02:00 ◼   ► apple.com where you can see an escalation of force touch and that's [TS]

01:02:04 ◼   ► what we're being plain to see that explanation also applies to think again [TS]

01:02:07 ◼   ► but branding can apply for such you know once they have a sort of a branded name [TS]

01:02:12 ◼   ► with a capital after a capital T then they can just apply that same name to [TS]

01:02:17 ◼   ► anything remotely like that a product line regardless of whether it actually [TS]

01:02:55 ◼   ► defective hubble tips their provides motivation behind this and the [TS]

01:03:01 ◼   ► motivation and little story behind it is but that with the original retina [TS]

01:03:08 ◼   ► let Apple determine that people really want high-speed networking if they're [TS]

01:03:12 ◼   ► going to buy a big expensive laptop and so they made the you know the [TS]

01:03:16 ◼   ► Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter or whatever and according to the steps toward that [TS]

01:03:41 ◼   ► unlike so many other Apple products did not have a big margin in fact may have [TS]

01:03:44 ◼   ► been sold a slight loss when it was brand new now I'm sure the margins are [TS]

01:03:47 ◼   ► better on or whatever so that same idea as with this adapter like that they you [TS]

01:03:53 ◼   ► know why did why does this exist because based on market researcher whatever [TS]

01:03:59 ◼   ► determined at one point part is that enough people need some way to have [TS]

01:04:03 ◼   ► other parts and as marcos talk about Pashos third-party USB hubs are flaky [TS]

01:04:08 ◼   ► and probably doesn't want to be attached to deal with like sleep-wake problems [TS]

01:04:12 ◼   ► and things you know taking the bus and stuff like that so as I suggested I [TS]

01:04:17 ◼   ► could be nice if Apple made a really nice 30 port that they are sturdy USB [TS]
