The Accidental Tech Podcast

43: Brilliance Enhancer

 

00:00:01   there's no editing on the show was not nearly exciting enough well it was [TS]

00:00:06   embarrassing for me so I thought they were there was a pretty good shot you'd [TS]

00:00:09   want in there so we have a little bit of follow-up the first thing is an animal [TS]

00:00:15   little disappointed that this has gotten a little bit of publicity cuz I was [TS]

00:00:18   hoping to wow everyone with with revealing this on the show but there is [TS]

00:00:25   a listener who wrote far and away my favorite thing I've ever read on the [TS]

00:00:28   internet [TS]

00:00:29   his name is Joe steal if I'm not mistaken and he wrote and a screenplay [TS]

00:00:36   review of the accidental tech podcast and as it turns out and realizes that [TS]

00:00:41   the time as it turns out he's actually done several these and he even has a [TS]

00:00:46   tumblr where he posts them so he's done one needed one for the prompt which is [TS]

00:00:51   falsely advertised as great as Pakistan world he did one for Bionic which I [TS]

00:00:55   actually thought was quite funny i mean he's done it for summarizing comparably [TS]

00:00:58   did one after the other ones are but they're they're really really really [TS]

00:01:03   funny and I absolutely adored ours I thought it was hysterical and so many [TS]

00:01:09   thanks to Joe steel for writing that inventive in in hilarious review and if [TS]

00:01:14   you ever wanted to to trick us into mentioning your name on the show that's [TS]

00:01:18   how you do it has been mentioned by writing an awesome review that's [TS]

00:01:21   hysterical does not track that's a legitimate way to do it [TS]

00:01:24   speaking of Bionic I heard bionic leg since the beginning now I only started [TS]

00:01:31   listening a handful of episodes back but don't tell my corner are mad about that [TS]

00:01:35   so I I always assumed it was about comics I didn't listen to it and then [TS]

00:01:39   when Merlin was on as guest host I listened to that when I kept listening [TS]

00:01:42   after that and I don't know what's going on in that show in either do however [TS]

00:01:48   like I don't I couldn't tell you what about like I i heard them say that it [TS]

00:01:52   used to be about ecosystem so that's that's as good as any but I like it it's [TS]

00:01:57   really weird and but it's funny like it's you can tell that you're walking in [TS]

00:02:02   on what's clearly a long running series of inside jokes but they managed to make [TS]

00:02:07   it funny even if you don't know the backstory you can kind of you can figure [TS]

00:02:11   out enough that you can live with it [TS]

00:02:13   and occasionally like actual tech discussion so it's pretty cool I [TS]

00:02:17   actually like now I agree I i I also didn't listen to it because I thought I [TS]

00:02:24   was way too late in the inside joke category which is to some degree why I [TS]

00:02:29   wanted the excuses I used for you look nice today and you don't have to lecture [TS]

00:02:32   me I know I need to listen to it it's on the list but yes I never jumped into [TS]

00:02:36   Bionic until five ish episodes ago like I said it's actually it's actually quite [TS]

00:02:41   entertaining I I'm not sure I understand what's going on [TS]

00:02:44   amber but I still enjoy it nevertheless I can pretty much do that's good we also [TS]

00:02:52   had some follow-up on the retina display we we talked about the last episode [TS]

00:02:58   about possibilities for what Apple could release or when anybody could release [TS]

00:03:01   for that matter in regards to a desktop display we look at the at the new Dell [TS]

00:03:07   ones are coming out and John brought up in his Mavericks reviewer somewhere that [TS]

00:03:13   right john when did you pick up the wallpaper size is a maverick so so you [TS]

00:03:18   brought up there about how the the wallpaper that comes with the system is [TS]

00:03:22   available in exactly 5120 by 2880 which is exactly double the WX dimension of [TS]

00:03:30   the current 27 inch Cinema Display and that would be awesome to have that as a [TS]

00:03:34   Retina screen we haven't seen any monitors come out with that resolution [TS]

00:03:38   of the highest we've seen is for case 3840 2160 and we had talked to them last [TS]

00:03:45   episode what if Apple releases that resolution of 3840 wide as a Retina [TS]

00:03:50   Display rather than like the full written 27 inch which would be 5121 and [TS]

00:03:56   we had a number of people pointing out that actually the current version of [TS]

00:04:01   even Thunderbolt to DisplayPort 1.2 the two current you know ways to connect a [TS]

00:04:07   monitor to video card those don't support enough bandwidth to run 5120 [TS]

00:04:12   wide at 60 frames a second they just can't do it that that takes roughly 28 [TS]

00:04:16   gigabits per second and they both top out at about twenty and so we're [TS]

00:04:22   actually pretty far from that DisplayPort 1.3 is the next upcoming [TS]

00:04:25   versions [TS]

00:04:26   support that will support up to AK resolution at 60 Hertz it raises the BBM [TS]

00:04:31   with but that's not available yet are you getting the sleep or 1.2 bandwidth [TS]

00:04:35   from Wikipedia is like 17 something and you have a year's 21 it was unclear to [TS]

00:04:43   me exactly what it was but it says it says in this little sidebar that you can [TS]

00:04:47   have up to four channels at whatever that divided by four is so that's from [TS]

00:04:52   the theoretical max but either way it's need a definable to DisplayPort 1.2 [TS]

00:04:57   issues which is the current best version of both of those things neither of those [TS]

00:05:01   contrive a display of the size that you want and where and for the 51 [TS]

00:05:06   twenty-by-twenty 888 comedy bits per pixel is that something that was at 32 [TS]

00:05:11   however it also doesn't work 24 I would it be 32 bits per pixel I don't know [TS]

00:05:16   that's how everyone else was calculating it so I did that but even at 24 bits per [TS]

00:05:19   pixel it still isn't it still too much space like 21 or something Gigabit [TS]

00:05:23   Switch still over the 17 ish at 1.2 but yeah wait a little longer said either [TS]

00:05:30   way you can't do it so that like this possibility is the resolutions in [TS]

00:05:35   between there but who like 80 is bosnia 24 K doesn't really 4,000 anything but I [TS]

00:05:40   think forecast kind of an umbrella term doesn't apply to any specific resolution [TS]

00:05:44   is one of those BS thanks right there's like four or five different ones that [TS]

00:05:47   all our kind of considered for K through and there was the many stories about the [TS]

00:05:52   sharp for k display appearing in some European Apple Store briefly before [TS]

00:05:56   disappearing yeah I don't really think that indicates anything useful [TS]

00:06:00   you know people obviously some that all of us a lot when it came out in the news [TS]

00:06:04   a few days ago and I mean apple has sold third-party monitors and stuff before in [TS]

00:06:11   their store so it it I don't think indicate anything whether Apple released [TS]

00:06:14   their own or not I really don't think it's anything but it was another 3840 [TS]

00:06:18   2160 yeah exactly like so I mean I really think that's what we're going to [TS]

00:06:22   be sticking with for the next few years I think that's gonna be the highest [TS]

00:06:25   resolution you can get because nothing to drive anything better than that and [TS]

00:06:28   I'm guessing you're still think Apple will make one of you I think they will I [TS]

00:06:34   am NOT necessarily sure when [TS]

00:06:36   we'll see on the iMac first and then the end of next year [TS]

00:06:39   well Dell's making one now the fact that they put the Mac Pro up there and said [TS]

00:06:45   and it can drive 34 K display they really expecting us to buy votes for que [TS]

00:06:50   despues from someone other than them because it is the margins are too low on [TS]

00:06:53   on these displays me don't care just froze but never use the Apple displays [TS]

00:06:58   anyway because they have their specially I don't I don't quite understand that [TS]

00:07:01   it's kind of like an apple discontinued the Xserve RAID and said I'll just buy [TS]

00:07:05   these other ugly purple weird plastic arrayed things that was not very a [TS]

00:07:10   polite thing to do is very strange seeing them do that remember that time [TS]

00:07:13   oh yeah I mean I really think what we're in for here is Dell's gonna release [TS]

00:07:18   theirs if it is not already out I don't think but I think it's coming soon very [TS]

00:07:24   soon so Delta release there that they said it was what fifteen hundred bucks [TS]

00:07:27   14 bucks something that for the for the 24 and I think that's going to be the [TS]

00:07:32   new hotness for nerds like us [TS]

00:07:35   assuming that it can be driven by the new Mac Pro a new Retina MacBook Pros at [TS]

00:07:40   that resolution and be treated as two ex I think people going about a lot of [TS]

00:07:44   Apple to make their own and I if Apple releases a 27 inch version of that and [TS]

00:07:50   the Dell one works fine 24 inches I really might go at the Dell one I don't [TS]

00:07:55   know that I've had Dell displays before they've been fine [TS]

00:07:58   like like like the plastic around them as crap the stand is crap the buttons [TS]

00:08:03   always flake and fall offer spin around and stop working i mean they're built [TS]

00:08:08   like crap the panels are was really good I could always really good image quality [TS]

00:08:11   for a really good price and usually with tons of inputs and card readers and USB [TS]

00:08:16   hubs and all that other stuff so i've been i've had perfectly fine experience [TS]

00:08:21   of the tell displays have actually never had an Apple display of always used [TS]

00:08:24   third parties please so I I would be fine with that but it happened next one [TS]

00:08:28   at the right side like 24 which I don't think they would if they may 24 by that [TS]

00:08:34   no question but if the Dell one in the Apple Online aborting the same again if [TS]

00:08:38   if I can use the Dell won a trip like being treated as a retina monitored by [TS]

00:08:43   the by the computer with no like really horrible flaky hacks that fell [TS]

00:08:47   constantly [TS]

00:08:48   me I don't see a lot of reason not to do that has not been much of a flake the [TS]

00:08:54   fact that it's you know used up till to enable it is not that big a deal as far [TS]

00:08:58   as I can tell it's the same code path everywhere as if you had a Retina [TS]

00:09:01   Display like all the software running is outputting you know double resolution [TS]

00:09:06   just like it would be if it was displayed that resolution and I don't [TS]

00:09:10   think there's any additional weirdness about it or maybe unlike the login [TS]

00:09:14   screen said to a lot on my West End testing its budget for maverick since [TS]

00:09:17   all the screens around and I don't have a random act had to be done in this mode [TS]

00:09:21   and when you put it in this mode even the login screen will be in this mode [TS]

00:09:25   too and it's kind of weird then when you go to the login screen a log into [TS]

00:09:28   someone's account doesn't have that settings that log out of 10 backing is a [TS]

00:09:33   little weird there but he just kept in that mode the whole time I think it [TS]

00:09:36   would be ok and you would imagine that point updated voice 10 would recognize [TS]

00:09:43   $1 some of their four Ks display and treated like a Retina screen you know [TS]

00:09:49   like you wouldn't have to do that happened why would Apple making sure [TS]

00:09:52   that isn't a big deal for them to just show those supported resolutions I don't [TS]

00:09:57   know why I bet they would he do that but there's like a million like you know I [TS]

00:10:02   mentioned I from the last week the DA utility to swap the resolutions on the [TS]

00:10:06   MacBook Pro I I bet I bet all those utilities and and and default right [TS]

00:10:12   direction although all those System Preferences tricks that let you enable [TS]

00:10:16   modes that Apple doesn't officially think that your monitor can support I [TS]

00:10:20   bet those same tricks will work to do this but if Apple doesn't have their own [TS]

00:10:24   displays of their solution is like it was for the Xserve RAID 0 just by the [TS]

00:10:27   third-party monitor they can't buy the third tell you to buy the third-party [TS]

00:10:30   monitor then also expected to Google for how to get the graphics tools out of the [TS]

00:10:35   Xcode passage package and run the courts the bug thing and put the option like [TS]

00:10:39   they're gonna go third party it's gotta support the third parties if they have [TS]

00:10:43   their own first party won yet they may be doing able to manually until the Mac [TS]

00:10:49   Pro actually comes out and Apple doesn't have this monitor available I'm still [TS]

00:10:53   gonna keep leaving there's hope for it [TS]

00:10:56   but again but at this Dell one is out and I am pretty sure Apple so you know [TS]

00:11:03   now that we have this info about dammit limits I'm positive that Apple will not [TS]

00:11:09   release one that is the full 5120 would I'm also not positive but I'm fairly [TS]

00:11:15   sure that if they did release a fork a monitor it would be probably 27 inches I [TS]

00:11:20   don't see them releasing a smaller monitor them that it's just it's not [TS]

00:11:23   that big of a market for them so I so we can't have the superresolution at 27 [TS]

00:11:31   inches [TS]

00:11:32   you know what's better to nineteen twenties I to you know to 38 40 [TS]

00:11:36   resolution ones that are treated in nineteen twenties is 24 inches that [TS]

00:11:42   might be better as we said last show but obviously I know januari monitor [TS]

00:11:46   monogamous I i still think no monitors this year will come out there might be [TS]

00:11:51   some third-party options but no monitors cause I don't understand why they would [TS]

00:11:56   keep the monitor so secret for so long and then just how and by the way the [TS]

00:12:00   night president here these new Apple monitors with that you see no monitors [TS]

00:12:03   is here from Apple do you think that we're going to get a Mac Pro before the [TS]

00:12:08   end of the year and how they said December 10 December isn't over but we [TS]

00:12:11   run at a time [TS]

00:12:14   some of that we said last show that it doesn't matter for the holidays because [TS]

00:12:17   this is not a seasonal item with someone said that it would matter for like their [TS]

00:12:21   queue for sales or something I don't even think it would matter there cuz I [TS]

00:12:23   think the volumes are so low that it would make a difference [TS]

00:12:27   yeah I think I think you know iPads and iPhones and especially if that matters [TS]

00:12:31   for their Q-forty I don't I don't think what's probably the lowest selling Mac [TS]

00:12:36   is going to make a drop in the bucket one other piece of follow-up I believe [TS]

00:12:40   this is follow-up and I think John that you added to this to the show notes do [TS]

00:12:45   you want to briefly talk about Squarespace yeah that's not actually a [TS]

00:12:48   sponsor break but I mentioned on a couple shows back up a business plan [TS]

00:12:52   based on implementing Squarespace site for people who have terrible websites [TS]

00:12:56   and don't realize that they could have a nice website spent five min [TS]

00:12:59   Squarespace and pick up a box and so if they don't want to go through that why [TS]

00:13:02   not start a business as a facilitator of that where you charge somebody [TS]

00:13:06   presumably a lot more than face charges and for the money you set up a square [TS]

00:13:12   Speyside for someone in the obviously to design work and everything else [TS]

00:13:15   apparently there's a pages where space that somebody sent me I did not keep [TS]

00:13:18   track of its IT specialist at Squarespace dot com that lists small [TS]

00:13:24   pretty small list of people who do our people are companies who do exactly this [TS]

00:13:28   you engage with them as a business and they use Squarespace to set up your site [TS]

00:13:34   so the base will be there like design firms that are doing the programming of [TS]

00:13:37   the annoying other stuff and they will set you people are probably also likes [TS]

00:13:42   of Commerce I don't ever do that as well right if so can so anyway that's where [TS]

00:13:48   spaces out ahead of this apparently they're already cultivating this group [TS]

00:13:51   of I I wanted actually it's where they didn't want you like reselling their [TS]

00:13:54   services or whatever but apparently they think this is a good thing and they've [TS]

00:13:57   already got a site set up for it and if you're one of those people who does this [TS]

00:15:50   create an exceptional website thank you very much for your support Squarespace [TS]

00:15:54   so in the spirit of random musings from the higher all talk I had a random using [TS]

00:16:01   of my own the other day and I i I don't know if there's much to be said here but [TS]

00:16:07   I was on my Mac and for whatever reason I wanted to buy some iOS app which one [TS]

00:16:13   it wasn't it doesn't really matter but my initial inclination was ok well go to [TS]

00:16:18   the App Store to buy that we now know have to go to iTunes to do that and it [TS]

00:16:23   occurred to me why is that all of the iOS app purchases aren't in the App [TS]

00:16:29   Store because to my subconscious apparently as well as well as I would [TS]

00:16:35   imagine most normal people and the App Store is the App Store is the app store [TS]

00:16:39   doesn't matter for buying Mac or iOS you're just trying to buy a nap and you [TS]

00:16:44   should do that in the App Store and I thought it was just a little wonky that [TS]

00:16:47   that was all happening on iTunes and naturally there's a there's a million [TS]

00:16:50   logical in in obvious explanations it's always been an iTunes it started in [TS]

00:16:55   iTunes it would muddy up the Mac App Store etcetera etcetera but I just [TS]

00:16:59   thought it was really really weird and I didn't really maybe I missed it really [TS]

00:17:03   seen anyone talking about this I don't know if you guys have any important if [TS]

00:17:06   not we can move along but I don't do you think will certainly one problem would [TS]

00:17:11   be that you know you like you see on the iPad App Store wanna problems if you saw [TS]

00:17:17   on Apple iPad if you also have a separate iPhone version a lot of people [TS]

00:17:21   mistakenly by the iPhone one who want to run [TS]

00:17:24   and that's a crappy support experience crappy customer experience like to thank [TS]

00:17:29   you bundle together obviously that you know if they did that on the Mac the [TS]

00:17:32   integrated everything in it would be a little easier in that they could at [TS]

00:17:35   least like I don't know talk to iTunes and figure out if you have an iPhone or [TS]

00:17:40   iPad and not even show the results if you don't something like that but you [TS]

00:17:45   know for the most part they would still be weird experience you still have a lot [TS]

00:17:48   of people who would like by the wrong thing we kind of close up the store like [TS]

00:17:51   I think I don't think I would ever do this but I think it would actually be a [TS]

00:17:56   way better experience on the iPad if it didn't show [TS]

00:18:01   iphoneonly absent all the store I get you know maybe you could download them [TS]

00:18:05   from your purchased a versatile but it it made it really really hard to find [TS]

00:18:08   more for just hit them completely first first of all developers developers to be [TS]

00:18:12   more forced to make iPad versions of their apps even if they suck they would [TS]

00:18:17   still have to customize a somewhat rather than showing it like in the in [TS]

00:18:21   little too X window for the doubled up iPhone mode but I think I'll be way [TS]

00:18:27   better in the stores like that it just creates problems do that doesn't need [TS]

00:18:32   the iOS App Store not show you iPhone apps by default I never find myself [TS]

00:18:37   saying phone apps in the store on my iPad maybe I'm just not searching for [TS]

00:18:41   her but they should be the ones with the little pluses that work on both but [TS]

00:18:44   don't they [TS]

00:18:44   hi the iPhone apps I believe it will I think there's a filter toggle at the top [TS]

00:18:49   that you can say either show me everything only I am pretty sure that's [TS]

00:18:55   right before us the reason those things on the Mac is a stupid iTunes like to [TS]

00:18:59   see things where that they used to be I you did everything you do in your Mac [TS]

00:19:02   new connector thing with USB cable and you do know the whole nine yards it's [TS]

00:19:07   annoying to me mostly because of the reset that as a as these data storage [TS]

00:19:13   space cuz with if you have a bunch of 32 or 64 gigabytes iOS devices and there [TS]

00:19:21   are filled with crap and you actually syncing with iTunes that means like when [TS]

00:19:26   you get Infinity Blade two or three rows and they're up there was a gigabyte game [TS]

00:19:30   that's sitting on your Mac hard drive taking up space in our recent same thing [TS]

00:19:34   with all the other stuff you have and it adds up it you know [TS]

00:19:37   know the podcast you download the podcast thing that kind of sinking or [TS]

00:19:41   instead of the stuff being in the cloud to saddam because Apple knows what you [TS]

00:19:44   bought up on those but you owned it doesn't it does no reason that there has [TS]

00:19:47   to be on your Mac and on you think so it can sing around me like that so that is [TS]

00:19:51   it's one of those lacy things that that's another reason why people go to [TS]

00:19:54   I'm not gonna get my iOS device Macklemore and there are so many [TS]

00:19:58   benefits that and one of them is you get a bunch of hard drive space back to pay [TS]

00:20:02   for iCloud backup is here you know if you're over the limit for your whatever [TS]

00:20:06   disposable data that you have to back up the iCloud but I'll be glad when all [TS]

00:20:13   that stuff finally leaves iTunes and we don't have to have our David duplicated [TS]

00:20:17   in multiple places and how to deal with lots of fun and the worst part is that [TS]

00:20:20   if you just mentioned device from iOS you can kinda sorta feel like you have [TS]

00:20:25   control over it and then if for some reason you have to get up like 20 file [TS]

00:20:31   copy and like the Documents folder and a candle thing you know you're onto [TS]

00:20:35   something that only I couldn't can do or that only iTunes can do easily you would [TS]

00:20:39   think that it wouldn't mess with anything else but it does inevitably new [TS]

00:20:42   icons appear on your homescreens because it syncs number I don't understand how [TS]

00:20:47   it decides had blamed the state of things that are on your Mac with state [TS]

00:20:50   of things in your iOS device but we should also consider that if you back up [TS]

00:20:55   your device to iTunes even selectively those backups or at least in my [TS]

00:21:00   experience tend to be quite big like gigabytes big and so to your point john [TS]

00:21:05   if you don't sink and work specifically don't back up against your iTunes [TS]

00:21:09   library you're saving gigabytes that way as well i mean it all adds up really [TS]

00:21:13   really fast [TS]

00:21:15   Jeremy Scott what about backing of the day of apps not every app except I club [TS]

00:21:18   when you to iCloud backups it backs up all your data not just not up to the [TS]

00:21:22   applications to back up the iCloud when you do iCloud backup your iOS device it [TS]

00:21:26   basically just wanders through all the document containers and pulls out all [TS]

00:21:28   the documents that's right mark oh well yeah it's there's this weird thing with [TS]

00:21:32   like temp folder vs document folders where it won't back up things that are [TS]

00:21:36   in temp folders but it will also wipe them randomly so so then it's up to [TS]

00:21:40   developers like like for me I'm writing this podcast app and a podcast you know [TS]

00:21:45   you wouldn't want that [TS]

00:21:46   to be in the Temp folder cuz you wouldn't want the system to randomly [TS]

00:21:49   combined deleted if space is then people don't you think they have all the stuff [TS]

00:21:54   downloaded and CEO of my stock's gone that's bad but you also want a cloud to [TS]

00:21:59   back that up [TS]

00:22:00   take everyone's iCloud space to retransmit everything up and down so [TS]

00:22:04   it's up to developers to set a don't back up flag on anything outside of the [TS]

00:22:09   temp folders and some developers do it right and as you can expect many don't [TS]

00:22:13   you love does that mean the the iTunes backup still say forget it is copied [TS]

00:22:18   everything or does the iTunes backup also honor that stuff the iTunes backup [TS]

00:22:21   will copy over those files which is nice and don't like if you if you have to do [TS]

00:22:25   a restore on your phone if you get it repaired or if it messes up they will be [TS]

00:22:29   copied back over on a restore which is nice to redownload everything but then [TS]

00:22:33   those also in your hard drive so it's kind of expect another case where they [TS]

00:22:39   got rid of the iTunes aspect of this it would kind of force developers to do to [TS]

00:22:43   manage their data in the correct way otherwise they'd have disgruntled [TS]

00:22:46   customers whereas now they get like some percentage of disgruntled customers [TS]

00:22:49   because they're doing it wrong and someone had not cloud backup and restore [TS]

00:22:53   from backup and restore for that apt in work right there they're pissed off at [TS]

00:22:57   you know probably not but maybe the app developer to whereas the older people [TS]

00:23:01   use iTunes hard to find because they backed up everything I does iCloud [TS]

00:23:05   backup save your passwords and on iTunes yet to encrypt your backup to do that no [TS]

00:23:09   no it doesn't [TS]

00:23:10   well I guess it didn't when it launched I can tell you that I don't know if [TS]

00:23:16   there is an option now to do it I'm guessing not though but that's because [TS]

00:23:20   Apple the iTunes engineers like even like I talked to some of the WBC about [TS]

00:23:24   you know how the appropriate to store and iCloud for like like you know they [TS]

00:23:28   say don't store if you don't store passwords and iCloud ok have a login [TS]

00:23:33   token does that count [TS]

00:23:35   login cookie token tokens and they were a little iffy on that you could tell [TS]

00:23:41   that they really don't want to responsible for that they really don't [TS]

00:23:44   want you storing any kind of sensitive stuff and iCloud so and you can kind of [TS]

00:23:49   see how they're approaching iCloud keychain and they really want you to [TS]

00:23:53   like have the passcode and have it and everything and had to be very secure and [TS]

00:23:56   controlled and limited so it I'm guessing it doesn't [TS]

00:24:00   simply because it has confirmed that I'm guessing it doesn't just because they [TS]

00:24:05   seem very reluctant to take on password storage and it probably is encrypted [TS]

00:24:10   business that it's so easy to pull that data down that you know they they didn't [TS]

00:24:15   monitor like you said I think I clogged kitchen is the one place that they're [TS]

00:24:18   willing to you but passwords and other type of information and with the advent [TS]

00:24:22   of that there should be a way for you to take all that information that you would [TS]

00:24:25   have you know there's a lot tokens that you would have put somebody else may be [TS]

00:24:28   shoved him die kitchenware apple says you're allowed to put that stuff who [TS]

00:24:31   knows there are authorized to speak about their antiquated I a podcast feeds [TS]

00:24:38   there are not supporting them but they're hard about that on Twitter might [TS]

00:24:44   have run across one of those I used to have an authenticated RSS feed back on a [TS]

00:24:47   day when possible that was like that but [TS]

00:24:50   and for all of the reasons why John Gruber stop doing that it's it's pretty [TS]

00:24:54   hard for podcast also it's it's very hard to support that and a because I'm [TS]

00:24:59   doing service are growing and everything revolves around this and there's pretty [TS]

00:25:02   much no good way I'm not gonna I'm not gonna have one for the passwords do not [TS]

00:25:05   feed that's that's crazy I'm not like that they're so many for so many reasons [TS]

00:25:10   why the terrible idea so I'm not going to support that I think if I think [TS]

00:25:15   downcast does support that I'm pretty sure it does so if you need that use [TS]

00:25:19   downcast John I hear christmas came early [TS]

00:25:22   your house I really Christmas it happens to coincide with Christian been in the [TS]

00:25:28   works as soon as it became clear that Panasonic was probably gonna stop making [TS]

00:25:33   that plasma TVs and I was like a year ago they were rambling about that and [TS]

00:25:37   Panasonic would say something and they would say oh no plans involve whatever [TS]

00:25:41   it was clear the writing was on the wall now I think like a couple months ago six [TS]

00:25:45   months ago they had made the official announcement an iconic plasma TVs [TS]

00:25:47   anymore than I had to make a decision I know he's going to have to witches do I [TS]

00:25:52   just keep using a TV I have or do I buy one of the last Panasonic plasmas before [TS]

00:25:57   they go away for good [TS]

00:25:59   and the reason I was thinking about this has to do with the still terrible state [TS]

00:26:04   of television technology I should have been done to show number here I didn't [TS]

00:26:07   but I talked about TV attack on all hypocritical the new year [TS]

00:26:11   the episode number anyway that was that was several years ago there was like [TS]

00:26:15   2011 I actually bought my TV and 2009 I was just talking about in 2011 [TS]

00:26:21   hypocritical and the property VTech is after after the CRT are the kids ask [TS]

00:26:28   your parents the big giant very cheap glass tubes for the electron gun in the [TS]

00:26:34   back of it scans little I across a fosters the things that you see on [TS]

00:26:37   everyone's curb sitting there for weeks getting rained on and nobody wants them [TS]

00:26:41   and nobody will get them for free throw them in the garbage have led to get the [TS]

00:26:45   special people come pick them up those things that technology was around for a [TS]

00:26:49   long time and I would say was perfected because it always had problems but it [TS]

00:26:54   was clear that if you bought a TV you were gonna get a cathode ray tube for a [TS]

00:26:58   long time this is clear and they made them pretty darn good like the Sony [TS]

00:27:01   Trinitron was was sort of the premier consumer brand for good televisions at [TS]

00:27:09   first because they only heard in one direction so they're like cylindrical [TS]

00:27:12   instead of being like bubble shape than that eventually they began entirely flat [TS]

00:27:15   and they had this event is an advantage but there were that many options you [TS]

00:27:20   like well this is the best TV I can get is the best CRDA and then the water [TS]

00:27:25   started to get money when they came out with DLP and other stuff like that but [TS]

00:27:29   they don't you remember the DLP stuff of the projection TV's they always had [TS]

00:27:33   terrible disadvantages vs CRT and it was still clear that if you cared about the [TS]

00:27:38   best-looking TV just get us here to get the best you can get it was probably a [TS]

00:27:41   Sony Trinitron projection might be bigger but it's just so damn off angle [TS]

00:27:45   and the colors are all messed up and all sorts of compromises that made you think [TS]

00:27:50   unless I need one of the special features like giant size for example you [TS]

00:27:54   know I'm just a television television I'm getting a CRT the chat room looked [TS]

00:27:58   it up and it was episode 16 will put that in the show its opposite 1600 [TS]

00:28:01   critical so when high definition television came out that just made [TS]

00:28:07   things very confusing because they did make a couple high-definition CRT but [TS]

00:28:10   CRT was was on its way out in the new flat screens are in first DLP and [TS]

00:28:14   other you know rear projection things that were not as deep as a CRT because [TS]

00:28:19   if I had a giant securities if you got a CRT that was over 30 years are you know [TS]

00:28:23   35 or 34 inches or whatever that was super deep and really heavy whereas you [TS]

00:28:27   make it not quite as deep projection television that size are very quickly [TS]

00:28:31   got into the flat screens which were either LCD or Plasma class came first [TS]

00:28:37   because he was too expensive that size and that's where all the crap started [TS]

00:28:41   because both LCD and Plasma have compromises that CRT is didn't have I [TS]

00:28:47   guess it comprises here he said of course the flats instead they were [TS]

00:28:50   gigantic and heavy but that was it like people would find a room in their house [TS]

00:28:56   for you need to make it put them into pieces of furniture CRT projector and [TS]

00:29:00   when you find a place for every other part of them was fine when I can't let [TS]

00:29:03   that go [TS]

00:29:05   convergence aperture grill weirdness all the various analog artifacts could show [TS]

00:29:11   up well they were only showing from target for standard that they're only [TS]

00:29:14   showing standard def didn't care about all day you know you're not missing [TS]

00:29:18   everything is going to be fuzzy but his low resolution right so when the funds I [TS]

00:29:22   think towards the end the trench runs in terms of convergence and everything like [TS]

00:29:25   that were amazingly good like as good as you could hope with the ready [TS]

00:29:29   analog signal in fact the fuzziness kind of help it blend together because you've [TS]

00:29:33   got something that was just a series of square pixels the site you know the [TS]

00:29:37   number the number of lines on a CRT that would look gross like sort of had a [TS]

00:29:41   distinctive look at again they weren't perfected perfect but they were pretty [TS]

00:29:45   solid but he didn't have all the crazy compromises that plasmas and LCDs and [TS]

00:29:50   plasmas in the beginning or super hot and powerful bike you know build-up tons [TS]

00:29:57   of he didn't look that good and you know had this weird a lot of weird artifacts [TS]

00:30:02   and an LCD is were even worse because they do LCD works as you've got a light [TS]

00:30:07   shining through this liquid crystal and the crystal turns on and off it will add [TS]

00:30:13   to light through or not and the problem was when you turn them all off and said [TS]

00:30:17   don't let any light through you still had the big backlight back there trying [TS]

00:30:20   to get through and a little bit of it would leak through and see your black [TS]

00:30:24   screen just put it made an LCD entire [TS]

00:30:26   early blackwood nicely black in fact you could light up a room with a black [TS]

00:30:29   screen especially beginning in LCDs so they had to come up with you no way to [TS]

00:30:33   fix that were like ok but won't leave the backlight on what time if they make [TS]

00:30:36   an entirely black screen will just turn the backlight office not awesome was [TS]

00:30:39   great until you have a bunch of white worries in the middle of rolling the [TS]

00:30:43   credits for a movie well you need the words to be white and the black [TS]

00:30:46   background so we need to turn on the back like behind the white words but the [TS]

00:30:50   backlight wasn't like one backlight per pixel backlight per four square inches [TS]

00:30:56   or be square into whatever you have to turn on some chunky subset of the [TS]

00:31:00   backlight to make the white world show up and that that white backlight would [TS]

00:31:04   make all the black around the white words glow like the previous glowing [TS]

00:31:08   black sweater was really black this all black level stuff and the LCD said [TS]

00:31:13   compromises well and so none of these technologies where as a no brainer by [TS]

00:31:18   four if you didn't want a projection screen to need something gigantic or [TS]

00:31:22   whatever you just want to really good nice looking TV you couldn't get plasma [TS]

00:31:26   or LCD because they both had compromises and they jockey for position in the [TS]

00:31:31   market eventually LCD one because everything else in the world uses LCD [TS]

00:31:34   and it became cheaper even though the picture quality health safety was never [TS]

00:31:38   as good as plasma still isn't as good as plasma again getting back the black [TS]

00:31:41   level stuff and dynamic backlight turns out to be too expensive and complicated [TS]

00:31:44   and they decide the consumers didn't care about black clothes anyway so I [TS]

00:31:48   just went to edge lit where the LCDs with it don't have it an array of back [TS]

00:31:52   lights behind the monitor that can turn on and off in different sectors and said [TS]

00:31:55   that I just like the whole thing up and it'll be fine and use mirrors to balance [TS]

00:31:58   it out the edges then we can make them super thin I don't understand this [TS]

00:32:01   obsession like one thing it to be like one and a half an inch thick is it [TS]

00:32:05   really important to go this point seven five inches thick it's like Apple and [TS]

00:32:08   Apple styled session and unlike him help things where they think that then this [TS]

00:32:11   does have a big payoff down the line when the thing is like to the size of a [TS]

00:32:14   credit card and maybe when you can pay your TV on your wall pays off but going [TS]

00:32:21   to educate this early seems weird to me that there you know all the car you know [TS]

00:32:26   it's a way to sell your thing in the store look out there who are you never [TS]

00:32:29   you never look at it from the side it was an inch thick would you say turn up [TS]

00:32:32   your nose that it looks gross assists point seven five inches thick it's nicer [TS]

00:32:36   the compromises they did an LCD TVs in particular [TS]

00:32:39   in particular in terms of picture quality just to get them another quarter [TS]

00:32:43   inch dinner I do not understand but that's the way the market and that's why [TS]

00:32:48   the plasma start to go out because everybody wants to be the problem is [TS]

00:32:53   burning and under is well where she believed the same image on the screen a [TS]

00:32:57   long time eventually when you put on a different image [TS]

00:33:00   you'll still be able to see that other images it a lot and actually see it and [TS]

00:33:05   LCDs as well occasionally where the cash register a point of sale system or [TS]

00:33:09   something and they'll be some banner that was on there and it will change [TS]

00:33:12   those green you still see that banner they are you still see the stock ticker [TS]

00:33:16   on some TV it's been showing you know financial news twenty-four hours a day [TS]

00:33:21   for six months plus without burning problems he can't leave the same image [TS]

00:33:25   on the screen for a long time otherwise you'll get image retention incentive [TS]

00:33:29   burning now let me interrupt you describe the technology behind LCD so [TS]

00:33:35   what is what is what makes plasma plasma then don't know the details and I'm [TS]

00:33:40   pretty sure it's like excited particles going from the back of something in [TS]

00:33:44   hitting up against a material that glows only it's like a bunch of tiny little [TS]

00:33:49   CRT is but it's similar in concept to that and it's it's not a back light [TS]

00:33:54   shining through [TS]

00:33:55   thing let slip through or not its particles being excited and going from [TS]

00:34:00   the back of something to the front of something and heading into med emits [TS]

00:34:02   light I don't know the details beyond that but it's close enough that they [TS]

00:34:07   both have that CRT is implausible have burning issues and that requires more [TS]

00:34:13   power than LCD because it would be the LCDs you can have the LED backlighting [TS]

00:34:18   ideas very power efficient and very bright something that's another thing [TS]

00:34:20   LCD televisions LED backlights give you much brighter than plasma televisions [TS]

00:34:25   that's important if you've got a bright room where you want things to be bright [TS]

00:34:27   so all these are compromises all the tech the current technologies for [TS]

00:34:31   high-definition televisions are compromises that have problems and I was [TS]

00:34:35   killing myself trying to see what I didn't buy a TV for so long as I'm like [TS]

00:34:39   I'll wait until the good technology comes out whether you like this article [TS]

00:34:43   sed or all that becomes an expensive or some other technology this post did not [TS]

00:34:48   have all the compromise [TS]

00:34:49   both plasma LCD and image I couldn't wait any longer in 2009 about myself in [TS]

00:34:53   television and you can listen to episode 16 hypocritical to hear all that went [TS]

00:34:57   because I really went in trying to look for an LCD television because [TS]

00:35:01   everything's LCD right now [TS]

00:35:02   ended up coming out of the closet because it was cheaper ahead better [TS]

00:35:05   picture quality if you're willing to accept all the other compromises plasma [TS]

00:35:10   more power thicker have year possibility of burning if you're not careful you got [TS]

00:35:15   better picture for less money for plasminogen like a no brainer to me well [TS]

00:35:19   so now they're getting rid of the plasma if they got rid of the plasmas and I [TS]

00:35:23   kept my current TV I would have to like what would I do if my current TV broke I [TS]

00:35:28   want to get a new one [TS]

00:35:29   there'll be nothing on the market me to buy because the number of people in [TS]

00:35:33   plasma televisions just going down 20 Samsung still makes them but Samsung's [TS]

00:35:37   heart is really an LCD like everybody else and everybody is eventually going [TS]

00:35:41   to all that but I did want to be stuck with an old television that can replace [TS]

00:35:45   is nothing on the market that I want to buy the second issue is that a [TS]

00:35:48   television I bought despite extensively researching and everything turns out to [TS]

00:35:52   have a problem with the black level got worse after the first year that used [TS]

00:35:55   this is a problem I guess you know back then and so now new TVs come out every [TS]

00:36:00   year and you can read review of here is the new crop of TV's for 2014 I read all [TS]

00:36:04   the reviews and I'll do all the research I look at it since I was 11 well if [TS]

00:36:08   anyone has a problem it doesn't show up until a year later you know about that [TS]

00:36:11   because my next year the new TVs about it will be out and about when this year [TS]

00:36:15   year and I had one of those televisions where the black level that started out [TS]

00:36:20   as being amazingly good became mediocre later in life of the television and even [TS]

00:36:25   if somebody did a long-term review to tell you that it wouldn't be useful [TS]

00:36:28   anybody because if they're telling you about the Stevie year and a half ago and [TS]

00:36:31   it's still great you can't go buy that TV anymore [TS]

00:36:34   yeah they go off the market say that you know it's very difficult to find and the [TS]

00:36:38   other problem I have with the television that I bought and this is something I [TS]

00:36:41   didn't even think to check it wasn't even on my radar was does this [TS]

00:36:46   television have fans inside it reaches not something I never owned a CRT that [TS]

00:36:51   and I guess DLP said a fan because of that one light source you can get really [TS]

00:36:55   hot in the fans and occasionally but I didn't think to check that and so I got [TS]

00:36:58   into my house and therefore a gigantic plans [TS]

00:37:01   and I think it's plazas take a lot of power and really hot and the fancier the [TS]

00:37:06   plasmid the more likely you are now fans into the cheap ones didn't have fans [TS]

00:37:09   with the fancy one that I got did happens so I kept a TV for years and I [TS]

00:37:13   really liked it did everything asked of it I never had any problems with burning [TS]

00:37:16   because I was careful with it I assume you know I didn't let my kids leave a [TS]

00:37:21   television show pause in the plasma the role was if we call you in for their hit [TS]

00:37:25   the pause button enter and then also hit the power button hard to do manage to do [TS]

00:37:29   with two little kids no burning on the screen at all it's perfect black levels [TS]

00:37:32   are not what they were when it was new but I still think it looks really good [TS]

00:37:35   but I just kept thinking look I paid all this money for this fancy TV it's four [TS]

00:37:39   years old now at this point I could buy a much cheaper television that has [TS]

00:37:44   better picture quality and if I'm gonna do so I better do so now before plasma [TS]

00:37:47   exits the business for Panasonic exits closet is now my only choices will be an [TS]

00:37:53   LCD television or maybe a Samsung Plasma none of which I particularly like so [TS]

00:37:58   that was the situation I found myself in this entire year thing about what [TS]

00:38:02   they're gonna do it many points during the year I got like up to the purchase [TS]

00:38:06   stage in and Amazon and didn't click on the button like months ago I did that [TS]

00:38:11   and then three months before that I did like bailout to last minute I'm pretty [TS]

00:38:15   sure I'm crazy yeah I miss you like just like agonizingly your hand like hovering [TS]

00:38:21   above the mouse with your finger pointing down ready just click and can't [TS]

00:38:28   do it [TS]

00:38:29   picturing Federici like the first Federici presentation when he was all [TS]

00:38:33   nervous and shaky trying to do the mouse gestures on picturing you with like that [TS]

00:38:37   but shaking nervous hand wondering should I do if I can tell you is [TS]

00:38:43   preventing me from doing it but we should probably responsible I was just [TS]

00:38:46   about to say about something else that's awesome [TS]

00:38:51   alright this episode is a first-time sponsor for us in general because [TS]

00:38:55   they're awesome website is also sponsored by Pixelmator or is it [TS]

00:39:01   Pixelmator its Pixelmator algo algo it takes on petr Pixelmator is a full [TS]

00:39:08   featured image editing app for the Mac they don't i mean they don't tell you [TS]

00:39:13   it's like Photoshop because I [TS]

00:39:15   I guess not to mention your competitors like that but it tastes like Photoshop [TS]

00:39:19   but 30 bucks and better in a lot of ways and so it's 30 bucks in the Mac App [TS]

00:39:26   Store Pixelmator the Mac App Store it's frequently feature it shouldn't be hard [TS]

00:39:40   design site that shows up a lot of the cool features you can see all sorts of [TS]

00:39:44   stuff they they have it they they have everything from image editing down to [TS]

00:39:49   drawing even vector drawing tools all in one app and it's it's kept very very [TS]

00:39:55   much in like the modern Mac ways of doing everything right you know it seems [TS]

00:40:01   like these they are like geniuses at optimizing for the Mac keeping [TS]

00:40:05   everything today is not only on the already optimized for Mavericks they [TS]

00:40:09   already use OpenCL they used to accelerate framework to use to use a lot [TS]

00:40:13   of the vector rising functions and they they have amazing performance on Mac [TS]

00:40:16   everything is very Mac like it's it's everything that you wished perot editing [TS]

00:40:21   apps were immigrants like being super Mac like and friendly but unfortunately [TS]

00:40:25   other ones usually aren't so they recent release a big update and it's pretty [TS]

00:40:31   impressive it's called Pixelmator 3.0 f/x it's a major upgrade featuring a lot [TS]

00:40:37   of new tools to play with including non-destructive layer styles very [TS]

00:40:41   advanced feature liquify tool and an all new image editing engine that using all [TS]

00:40:48   these cool things Grand Central Dispatch paralyzed parallelization multiple [TS]

00:40:51   threads support everything else [TS]

00:40:53   OpenCL GPU acceleration support the new engine is almost twice as fast as the [TS]

00:40:59   orange and the old engine was pretty fast already that's saying a lot they [TS]

00:41:02   fully support Mavericks with tags multiple displays their good power [TS]

00:41:06   citizens are you zap nap and everything else and pics made a three-point OFX is [TS]

00:41:12   a free upgrade all just in case Medicus customers actually in their script they [TS]

00:41:17   wrote the word customers here or maybe Lex wrote that i'm gonna blame Lex so [TS]

00:41:22   whether you're a customer or adjusting Pixelmator customer [TS]

00:41:27   and it's only 30 bucks if you're not and this is this is not the first 50 they've [TS]

00:41:34   done . grade 12 24 free anyway they're they're really great to support and you [TS]

00:41:39   can't beat this price point 30 bucks for an applet this amount of power it it [TS]

00:41:43   almost seems unreal so check it out [TS]

00:41:46   Pixelmator dot com it's a full featured image editing app for the Mac very Mac [TS]

00:41:50   like very awesome and has great new 3.0 OS X upgrade is really impressive so [TS]

00:41:55   thanks a lot to Pixelmator for sponsoring a show that's probably don't [TS]

00:41:58   remember this but that can be a bit dazed a big graphic days that was all [TS]

00:42:03   suite of Mac applications said that you do you know graphics in 256 colors and [TS]

00:42:09   they were pretty expensive they were way more than 30 bucks each and the 32 bit [TS]

00:42:14   error you know 24 bit 32 bit error there was of course W Photoshop should be [TS]

00:42:19   eventually became too big dog but there are also other things like to call it a [TS]

00:42:23   live picture something and a couple other ones and to play in that game to [TS]

00:42:27   play in the eighth but space a lot of people can play there is you know you [TS]

00:42:31   know you can make a little pig slaughter but to play with the Photoshop Brown was [TS]

00:42:34   like Oh true color images you had to write your own graphics engine and that [TS]

00:42:39   was a difficult thing to do and a lot of the market was like well I can't just do [TS]

00:42:43   it Photoshop did I do something different a live picture was like not [TS]

00:42:47   resolution independent non destructive but a similar type of thing where that [TS]

00:42:51   their their image engine was very different than Photoshop then it turns [TS]

00:42:53   out the source of stalling engines from one end and for a long time is just [TS]

00:42:57   photoshopping that's all there was [TS]

00:42:59   with a couple of their minor competitors in there really got a foothold but [TS]

00:43:03   nowadays it's amazing that Apple has improved the Mac platform enough and [TS]

00:43:08   just the Mac platforms you don't see this as much on Windows enough to the [TS]

00:43:11   point where a small developer can make an amazing high-performance application [TS]

00:43:16   without having to make their own graphics engine but simply by taking [TS]

00:43:19   advantage of all the graphics technologies that provides and combine [TS]

00:43:22   them into a nice friendly application and offered for 30 bucks as compared to [TS]

00:43:26   hundreds of dollars in Photoshop cost competitive cost every time I see [TS]

00:43:31   Pixelmator I think of them as like the poster child for a look at what Apple [TS]

00:43:37   helps you do if you right outside [TS]

00:43:39   their platform I called all the API's they give you at every WEC is like [TS]

00:43:42   losing all these things well pick some hitters when I was going to say that I [TS]

00:43:47   love that that they know the audience to know that we should mention in the [TS]

00:43:51   Rideau OpenCL Grand Central Dispatch now a nap nap because our audience is going [TS]

00:43:56   to know what all those things mean I mean if you look at their site it looks [TS]

00:44:00   like an apple page like the it looks like this is the page for Apple's new [TS]

00:44:05   image editor like to read the site and it uses Apple's styling it's very it's [TS]

00:44:11   very well designed for use a lot of modern HTML tricks and stuff like [TS]

00:44:15   animations and transitions and as you scroll things moved the fight delegates [TS]

00:44:20   really very modern variable design pics for the event so it really does look [TS]

00:44:24   like this is apples [TS]

00:44:26   image editing after they never actually made you don't like that happens may [TS]

00:44:31   able to make a Photoshop competitor I think I photo but some of the game of [TS]

00:44:34   telephone rumors about iPhoto before was released with an Apple is making a [TS]

00:44:37   Photoshop killer application temperature every time to do anything and graphics [TS]

00:44:42   gonna make a Photoshop killer by Pixelmator no they shouldn't [TS]

00:44:47   examined as it is cuz I mean look at look at how Apple treats Aperture and [TS]

00:44:51   iPhoto for that matter you know at this point I don't think Apple needs more [TS]

00:44:55   major applications take care of thanks again to 60 meter / pics on the top [TS]

00:45:03   right so John we we interrupted you are you sort of interrupted yourself during [TS]

00:45:09   during your talk about your TV show your hand is hovering over the mouse on [TS]

00:45:13   Amazon you're ready to buy and then you finally click the button so what did you [TS]

00:45:17   get 10 before we get to that I say why wasn't buying all the time so why was I [TS]

00:45:22   not buying what was my hesitation and the station was for knowing everything I [TS]

00:45:28   know now people in the chat room or means that I didn't know to ask about [TS]

00:45:30   fans like I didn't even think it was a thing I should look for when I saw the [TS]

00:45:35   televisions in person the story can't hear a thing and like a retail store is [TS]

00:45:38   this just a background white noise right don't hear anything in there I just did [TS]

00:45:43   not even think to look for them but now I know all these things right so the [TS]

00:45:49   television I wanted to buy like be the sort of equivalent in the model line [TS]

00:45:53   television from the one never before had fans and I knew it had fans and I [TS]

00:45:58   wouldn't we all had to spend all day reading through old South forum and [TS]

00:46:01   trees page after page after page of people saying I bought this fancy new TV [TS]

00:46:05   and it's got fans and they are super loud and it's driving me insane and you [TS]

00:46:09   know just like a hundred and seventeen old style forum pages you know one after [TS]

00:46:15   the other in different forms hundreds of pages of people having these fancy TV [TS]

00:46:18   isn't telling the stories about I tried this and I bolted to the back of my TV [TS]

00:46:22   and I had Panasonic come in this post to a fix but they did the effects and I [TS]

00:46:26   think it's better known as they did it fix and it didn't help at all the people [TS]

00:46:29   like it's received thank you think it helped it really didn't and it really [TS]

00:46:32   shouldn't make any noise at all and just you know it's like it's like it's like [TS]

00:46:35   looking for symptoms on WebMD and everything least the cancer right to [TS]

00:46:38   know if you read these forums enough you think that these television just all [TS]

00:46:44   sound like a leaf blowers in your living room and I would keep going through the [TS]

00:46:49   threads going ok well these people get the very first model so maybe like [TS]

00:46:52   Panasonic pick something about it people I go what's the build date on yours and [TS]

00:46:55   I got I got one that was built six months after it still sounds terrible [TS]

00:46:59   and I'm returning it and Panasonic took three weeks to come out the guy they [TS]

00:47:02   sent was a guerilla he scratched up my TV trying to open it up and it didn't [TS]

00:47:06   help anyway and like how could I but I can't buy that right so I started [TS]

00:47:11   looking down my let me let me find the cheap Panasonic plasmas the don't have [TS]

00:47:15   plans with the problem is the current crop of cheap Panasonic Plasma don't [TS]

00:47:18   have [TS]

00:47:18   pants a terrible input lag which is another thing that I didn't know about [TS]

00:47:21   you but it was impossible to find [TS]

00:47:23   input lag is when you're playing a video game and you do something in the video [TS]

00:47:29   game system like press the fire button how long does it take for you to see the [TS]

00:47:32   gunfire on your television screen and you would think that I would have to do [TS]

00:47:36   with the game system does but the television itself can also introduce [TS]

00:47:40   some amount of lag like the video game system can put out the image over as [TS]

00:47:43   HDMI port of the gun firing and it takes some number of milliseconds for the [TS]

00:47:47   television to take the signal that just got off the HDMI Ethernet frame and [TS]

00:47:52   display it as a little light on the screen and the reason to delay is there [TS]

00:47:55   is because of the image processing and other stuff that television is due to [TS]

00:47:58   make a nice picture and the higher end the television you could potentially [TS]

00:48:01   have more image processing but also the higher end of the television you could [TS]

00:48:06   have faster processors 22 you know process the image more quickly than the [TS]

00:48:10   cheap television see you never know [TS]

00:48:11   marksman to tell him that better or worse and back in 2009 I knew all about [TS]

00:48:16   input lag but nobody was reviewing televisions ever mentioned it like it [TS]

00:48:19   was just a bunch of gamers in there were like complicated camera setups filming [TS]

00:48:23   like little you know microsecond clocks and going frame-by-frame and trying to [TS]

00:48:27   figure out what the input lag was well fast forward four years and now finally [TS]

00:48:32   most television review sites will give you input lag measurements which vary [TS]

00:48:36   wildly from side to side presumably within a single site within a single [TS]

00:48:40   side the same methodology as you can compare within a site so I would look of [TS]

00:48:43   the input lag numbers and the input leg of the cheap fanless Panasonic plasma is [TS]

00:48:50   terrible and it used to be great like 3 2003 model years ago the cheap one had [TS]

00:48:55   awesome input lag but now it's super terrible and the stupid class with the [TS]

00:49:00   fans at a significantly better in public [TS]

00:49:03   choices what do I care but fans marable and also by the way the TV plasma is [TS]

00:49:07   worth image quality like the fancier one has better image quality as well and so [TS]

00:49:11   I every time I would almost by just taking a stroll through the the form [TS]

00:49:16   injuries with the fan noise and going I can't do it and every time I don't buy [TS]

00:49:19   the cheap like now i cant I can do then apply to see what do you care if you [TS]

00:49:23   never know is that input lag anyway you know you don't play fighting games i [TS]

00:49:27   cant get affected but why why would I buy worst television systems to be [TS]

00:49:31   getting better [TS]

00:49:31   television you know because my old television had pretty good input like it [TS]

00:49:35   was expensive and a fast processes in it and it had better input lag than the [TS]

00:49:40   current cheap Panasonic so I just did that for a year back and forth back and [TS]

00:49:45   forth back and forth and eventually one of things but we had was Casey's friend [TS]

00:49:50   who got this very same television that I was looking at and Casey's friend says [TS]

00:49:54   fans are silent can't hear me all right tell me what he was saying it like that [TS]

00:49:59   it was just totally a non-issue right yeah this is my from Brian who got the [TS]

00:50:05   same TV and so I i was talkin to John after I saw Brian saying oh my friend [TS]

00:50:10   just got this Panasonic is this what you wanted to ask about the pants pants now [TS]

00:50:14   see I would I have a Panasonic plasma that does have fans and I can't hear [TS]

00:50:20   them but I would never be brave enough to tell John well my minor silence so go [TS]

00:50:25   ahead and buy it I would never in a million years because he'd hear them [TS]

00:50:29   it's only say that because immediately after Brian so you can't hear the first [TS]

00:50:35   thing I said to you think both John and Brian was well brian says that he can't [TS]

00:50:41   hear them but we both know that John is not going to believe that I mean how [TS]

00:50:46   could you like it so difficult to the best example was my old television which [TS]

00:50:51   had for gigantic fans into that make an annoying Sanders they're very big fans [TS]

00:50:56   of a low-volume kind of rushing air sounded naughty symmetrical it would [TS]

00:51:00   have been nice but my wife claims either she couldn't hear them or they don't [TS]

00:51:04   bother and it's like well you can hear that it's like it's like night and day [TS]

00:51:07   as far as I'm concerned it's just like if you can hear those for fans that [TS]

00:51:11   obviously an individual person sitting in front of the television has a very [TS]

00:51:14   different experiences with a can or can't hear anything to have this [TS]

00:51:18   television with four giant fans for four years I just decide to live with it [TS]

00:51:22   wasn't that bad i mean you listening with audio on it's not like you know [TS]

00:51:25   it's you get used to it [TS]

00:51:27   the picture quality made up for it all the other aspects of television [TS]

00:51:31   you know what was I gonna do that but at the same problems I returned it out to [TS]

00:51:35   get one with worst image quality without fans or something and the other thing [TS]

00:51:39   about plastic by the way since they use so much more power than LCDs and since [TS]

00:51:43   apparently the analog electronics industry does not care about ambient [TS]

00:51:46   noise which drives me insane see also my big rant about my PowerMac g5 power [TS]

00:51:51   supply which chirped transformers and other analog components that actually [TS]

00:51:58   move as in vibrate can make noise because moving things make noise and [TS]

00:52:02   sometimes that noise is amplified through the printed circuit board that [TS]

00:52:05   these little components are attached to acting like a big speaker type thing [TS]

00:52:08   making a terrible noise ball plasmas use a lot of power transformers on printed [TS]

00:52:13   circuit boards and they make a buzzing sound inaudible buzzing sound of the [TS]

00:52:17   plasma buzz I think there's no reason that stupid buzzing sound exist if Apple [TS]

00:52:22   design on these things that could design it and I say that after the power supply [TS]

00:52:26   but anyway it is possible to design the hell out electronics in such a way that [TS]

00:52:30   they do not make a noise the desirable to the person watching television and [TS]

00:52:33   yet no television manufacturer does that because nobody cares or they're inside [TS]

00:52:37   entertainment centers are up against a wall or some other thing the muscles [TS]

00:52:40   them are people can hear them but you can totally hear transform buzz on [TS]

00:52:44   almost any plasma television if you go into police found room make the entire [TS]

00:52:48   screen white you'll hear a buzz then changed to black the bus goes down or [TS]

00:52:52   offline change back to white goes up that's in addition to the fan noise [TS]

00:52:56   right so I knew that was there as well [TS]

00:52:57   like I'm just the television to make at this point and people had problems with [TS]

00:53:02   Panasonic plasmas and other places where the transformed crackin nigga super [TS]

00:53:06   terrible buzzing noise people would make youtube videos of the problem with these [TS]

00:53:10   ubiquitous cameras that everyone has their phones now that those cameras are [TS]

00:53:13   designed to remove background noise so people can hear you talking on the phone [TS]

00:53:17   so that's absolutely the worst camera to ever use the treasury's record [TS]

00:53:21   background noise so a lot of people have videos where they would say here is my [TS]

00:53:24   new television Andy hear that noise of the fan of the buzzing and you didn't [TS]

00:53:28   because the phones cancel the noise out they'd bring the phone around to the [TS]

00:53:32   back of a television with the camera video recording and they put it right [TS]

00:53:35   now you could hear the sound quality of the fan [TS]

00:53:38   but then they go like I'm back here and you can hear it all type of course you [TS]

00:53:42   can hear it all the phone is removing that noise and that's how I felt about [TS]

00:53:45   individual peoples reports of I can hear the fan but maybe you're you're [TS]

00:53:50   high-frequency hearing is going two years old or maybe there is a giant fan [TS]

00:53:54   blowing in the room cuz your hott all the time we don't like air conditioning [TS]

00:53:57   maybe recognition is on you can who knows what you can hear the fam but I [TS]

00:53:59   knew there was some things spinning moving air in the backup thing I'd be [TS]

00:54:03   able to hear but enough people you know [TS]

00:54:08   Casey's friend other people who own the month forums and stuff like bad said [TS]

00:54:12   that it's an overblown problem and yes if you read these hundred page threads [TS]

00:54:16   about people who have televisions make too much noise maybe they have some sort [TS]

00:54:19   of problematic unit there maybe they're blowing over but I figured I'd just like [TS]

00:54:25   to make a decision it's almost the end of the year these models are going to go [TS]

00:54:27   away I'll buy it I'll make sure I have a 30 day return window is too loud or [TS]

00:54:31   return it so actually click the button to get a thing delivered our order from [TS]

00:54:34   Amazon which I never done with the big TV before I come out last month from [TS]

00:54:38   Best Buy mostly because I want to Best Buy the hallway my 350 pounds see our [TS]

00:54:42   key thing and they did and it took it away for free and that was more than [TS]

00:54:45   worth the price of buying it at Best Buy and Amazon herself tax now as well so [TS]

00:54:50   there's not even an advantage of it and designed to give her the sales tax but I [TS]

00:54:54   did a pretty good delivery experience to the people who brought the television [TS]

00:54:58   and although the styrofoam in the box was cracked I wonder how how high the [TS]

00:55:03   stealth drop for the styrofoam surrounding it are not small pieces of [TS]

00:55:08   star on these are big giant blocks of styrofoam cracked almost always through [TS]

00:55:12   the television so early on damage they unpacked before they left before signing [TS]

00:55:17   anything to inspect the television they plugged in turn that on major actually [TS]

00:55:21   worked everything looked it up as fans and it was to fans that far I can hear [TS]

00:55:27   them but the thing is and I didn't think about this before I was thinking about [TS]

00:55:32   the television is it is not so much that I don't want to be able to hear the fans [TS]

00:55:36   just as they were quieter than my old televisions fans and that as I was still [TS]

00:55:41   an upgrade its still quieter than it was and it is these fans are significantly [TS]

00:55:45   quieter [TS]

00:55:46   than my old televisions and so much so that I can hit a transformer buzz way [TS]

00:55:49   better than the old hands were so that they totally blanked out the transformer [TS]

00:55:58   buzz but now the fans are so quiet that I can hear the transformer buzz but [TS]

00:56:03   that's wonderful that that's just truly fantastic but you know I haven't made a [TS]

00:56:09   final decision yet but it's pretty much decided that I'm gonna keep it mostly [TS]

00:56:12   because it is so much better than my old television is always like this [TS]

00:56:16   as fan noise but the family is quieter has transformer box but it's probably [TS]

00:56:20   about the same as male TV picture qualities so much better because in four [TS]

00:56:23   years things have just gotten better it's thinner than my old television that [TS]

00:56:26   stance you're looking the other the only major disadvantages has a real [TS]

00:56:30   television and strip all television these days and I i guess i dont know why [TS]

00:56:34   republicans cost cutting is it has fewer inputs intelligent four HDMI inputs [TS]

00:56:40   bunch of S video that I was never any use and two component inputs and I had [TS]

00:56:44   stocked up to all those inputs and I was basically out of it puts forget a ps4 I [TS]

00:56:48   would have no place to put it [TS]

00:56:49   this one has three HDMI say losing HDMI here only one component and of course no [TS]

00:56:53   s-video and other stuff and I don't understand why high-end televisions have [TS]

00:57:00   been losing a bit slow and help ensure get one to HDMI port but I intelligence [TS]

00:57:04   have like 10 points back there but they have is that if you buy and television [TS]

00:57:08   you really need one HDMI point because you're going to have a TV receiver that [TS]

00:57:12   doesn't just watching for you and all that stuff and that's probably my next [TS]

00:57:16   purchase decision thing that I have to deal with but as a whole other topic [TS]

00:57:19   entirely the TV looks really good I'm kind of trapped in calibration he'll [TS]

00:57:26   just the place you go and you buy fancy television and realize that it's just [TS]

00:57:31   minutes and you're obsessive-compulsive like me you've got to keep adjusting [TS]

00:57:34   them to get the picture you want without paying somebody 300 bucks to come to [TS]

00:57:38   your house and do with $10,000 worth of video equipment because they used to [TS]

00:57:42   like Marco [TS]

00:57:46   did you ever hit television professionally calibrated Marco no I [TS]

00:57:51   don't even know that was a thing I did ya I also didn't know it's a it's a [TS]

00:57:54   thing it is definitely a thing and the thing is the calibration like if you [TS]

00:58:00   have the equipment to do the calibration I feel like you could probably do it [TS]

00:58:03   yourself because the software they have that works with it is I mean I probably [TS]

00:58:08   complicated but I get over the coming week whitman is expensive is union like [TS]

00:58:12   a computer hooked up to a light meter that attaches to your screen that puts [TS]

00:58:16   out a known signal and measures that it does all the stuff in it sufficiently [TS]

00:58:19   complicated that it's difficult to do it all but mostly I'm just trying to pin [TS]

00:58:22   down the basic stuff of like black levels light levels contrast and and the [TS]

00:58:28   other business one more thing we're going to television thing I didn't even [TS]

00:58:32   talk about this but the other reason I didn't want to buy an OCD is because [TS]

00:58:36   they don't do well with motion that it used to be terrible motion out a little [TS]

00:58:39   bit better but remember the old days when your cursor on your crappy PC [TS]

00:58:45   laptop would have trails behind it that was a feature not that not the cursor [TS]

00:58:51   trails nothing intentional under Windows put in but the accidental ones where [TS]

00:58:55   everything alright that was way way way back and being days LCD that's gone now [TS]

00:59:02   but LCD still don't show emotion as well as plasma is due for a variety of [TS]

00:59:07   reasons and what LCD televisions do to try to make things look more natural is [TS]

00:59:13   that they will put frames that didn't exist in the source material in between [TS]

00:59:16   so if your video is 24 frames per second but you're you're LCDs refresh 60 frames [TS]

00:59:21   per second instead of just showing the same frame whole bunch of times ensuring [TS]

00:59:24   that extra moment in time that showing the next very moment of times if you do [TS]

00:59:27   that on a modern LCD looks weird doesn't look right looks stuttering in Turkey [TS]

00:59:31   and strange for reasons for reasons having to do with visual perception that [TS]

00:59:36   I don't really understand but you can google and find out and that's not a [TS]

00:59:41   problem plans Mr they're more like CRT is because they think it's because they [TS]

00:59:45   posted the the the output and it sounds like a bunch of bright lights punctuated [TS]

00:59:50   by periods of [TS]

00:59:51   of no light if you slow down viewing of the screen that's more like a CRT and [TS]

00:59:54   looks more natural to you so plasmas don't have to do this this motion [TS]

00:59:57   interpolation but LCDs all do it and do it like crazy in this is it if you look [TS]

01:00:03   at an LCD television is doing motion interpolation this thing called the soap [TS]

01:00:06   opera thanks but it makes all the shows you're watching look like they're [TS]

01:00:09   showing a soap opera if you watch television in the foot of the channels [TS]

01:00:13   and you come across so far but you can tell I just because of the lighting and [TS]

01:00:17   the sets and stuff you can just tell that the soap opera vs Leica lets a [TS]

01:00:20   movie like they look different to you I don't think so far effects looks like [TS]

01:00:24   soap operas but it looks weird and even regular people notice inviting my [TS]

01:00:28   parents recently asked me years after I tried to explain this to have remembered [TS]

01:00:32   in the said look at television and the people look a little weird like they're [TS]

01:00:35   moving strangely motion interpolation every LCD television does it and it's on [TS]

01:00:41   by default and LCD televisions and plasmas don't have the problem at all [TS]

01:00:43   which by their quote-unquote better for sports if you care about motion that you [TS]

01:00:47   should just buy a plasma television 'cause they don't have to do all this [TS]

01:00:49   weird stuff to effective it is they know well this plasma television that I got [TS]

01:00:54   actually had a setting for motion interpolation and it was on by default I [TS]

01:00:58   couldn't believe it [TS]

01:00:58   like why would you do this shit like poor people are buying these plasmas [TS]

01:01:02   leaving that setting on and thinking that's the way the videos posted look [TS]

01:01:04   because I was sitting there right in front of television just set it up and I [TS]

01:01:08   pulled the menus down and I saw the video moving behind the menus and it [TS]

01:01:11   looked to me like what the hell is going on there to the main you slow down the [TS]

01:01:14   video on this television but I found the motion interpolation said I couldn't [TS]

01:01:18   believe it why would the setting even exist so I mean we turn that off and [TS]

01:01:21   they're like 75 other settings in this television does all which everybody [TS]

01:01:26   should turn off trillions enhancer black extension automatic gamma correction [TS]

01:01:32   digital remaster like the million setting this thing they should all be [TS]

01:01:37   off like this is why it calibrations are being if you buy fancy television do not [TS]

01:01:41   leave the way it is because they have tons of saying that basically screw with [TS]

01:01:45   the picture to try to make it look better ensure [TS]

01:01:47   brilliance enhancer what the hell's that supposed to make things sparkly and [TS]

01:01:51   bright you know it just just screwed up your picture and all those off and it [TS]

01:01:55   probably also had input lag not that america's like game mode usually turns [TS]

01:01:58   all the more than you [TS]

01:01:59   so part of my calibration exercises going through these extensive menus and [TS]

01:02:03   turning off every skill are these still has some crazy made a marketing name [TS]

01:02:07   something for sound like fake surround sound and stuff [TS]

01:02:11   turmoil that crap off may be the only one that would allow a little bit like [TS]

01:02:14   noise reduction and put them on low but even that is so if you have a fancy new [TS]

01:02:20   television LCD or Plasma turn off all those crazy settings tried it you don't [TS]

01:02:25   have to get calibrated by somebody but you can at least do like the [TS]

01:02:28   self-calibration things where you sit there like a test image and follow the [TS]

01:02:31   instructions you can get pretty close to not a correct image but an image doesn't [TS]

01:02:37   look like crap that things come out of the box looking like or the day look [TS]

01:02:40   like an assurance that that's my advice if you get a television and I haven't [TS]

01:02:45   been able to watch television cited by I can't advise that you get a plasma just [TS]

01:02:48   told you all the things about it burn in fans power transformer LCDs terrible [TS]

01:02:53   black levels weird motion soap opera fact I think the colors are not quite as [TS]

01:02:58   nice a natural can use their own plasma so they have gotten a lot better there's [TS]

01:03:03   no good television to buy so you have to make your own choices for those [TS]

01:03:06   compromises but if one were to get the television that you just bought what [TS]

01:03:10   would one be buying I bought a Panasonic bTW sixty they call the internet but [TS]

01:03:17   it's like TCP and then the screen size and then the letters and numbers and [TS]

01:03:23   Panasonic TV series has been their fancy series my old one was the TCP 50 v10 and [TS]

01:03:29   the end of the tea at some point back on the ground and BTW 58 anyway this year's [TS]

01:03:34   models are TCP 55 bTW 60 or 65 bTW 6955 is a small sizes television comes in at [TS]

01:03:42   about what they didn't come small smaller than 55% when I bought a [TS]

01:03:48   television for upstairs I'm like I need a small television her bedroom I don't [TS]

01:03:51   want to be a better friend jack told you I could not find a plasma that I was [TS]

01:03:56   willing to buy that was below 50 inches and up in the stands television images [TS]

01:04:01   too big for that so I had to buy an LCD television for upstairs it was rushing [TS]

01:04:06   to me like you do and yes the fancy of the TV they don't come in the small [TS]

01:04:11   sizes fit like [TS]

01:04:12   50 was a small size of my old TV and I think it came into 4255 is a small store [TS]

01:04:18   this one so I'm sorry to see your 6501 you actually ended up with this now 5558 [TS]

01:04:24   the fiftieth television had barely fit in the place that I had and the nice [TS]

01:04:28   thing about the march of progress is the 55 inch television [TS]

01:04:31   external dimensions are almost identical to make 50 inch they just made the bezel [TS]

01:04:34   smaller right so that's nice to know that the tell them to do television I [TS]

01:04:39   have has more screen area but takes about the same amount in my house and [TS]

01:04:43   the reason I got to be t60 instead of is actually a model up from that they added [TS]

01:04:47   its CSeries the ziti 60 and the only difference in the city sixty is it a [TS]

01:04:51   slightly better image quality in exchange for slightly reduced brightness [TS]

01:04:55   but it doesn't have the nice speakers at this has caused by the speakers that are [TS]

01:04:59   built to tell him I do because I'm still sorting out the surround sound [TS]

01:05:03   situation which again is another topic for another show and so actually care [TS]

01:05:07   about the built-in speakers and I like to be high quality and DVD had like the [TS]

01:05:10   stupid built-in camera which is terrible and who cares about that and it was [TS]

01:05:15   cheaper so I like why am I gonna buy the more expensive TV with fewer features I [TS]

01:05:20   i'm under the feet instead of the CT so anything you like to add John about the [TS]

01:05:25   TV talk about the software on the television both decide that for another [TS]

01:05:29   show because the whole there that's that gets back to my blog posted worst price [TS]

01:05:36   three software that is totally the case with television is there anything else [TS]

01:05:42   it's also that we should share there is there is one more in fact it is our [TS]

01:05:46   friends return sponsor it is transporter transporter is a special external hard [TS]

01:05:53   drive that you only control like any other external hard drive but with [TS]

01:05:57   secure private cloud sharing in sync features built-in so like Dropbox will [TS]

01:06:02   transport you can access your files from any of your computers or your iOS or [TS]

01:06:06   Android devices all your Transformers files are available from from anywhere [TS]

01:06:10   that you are with internet access you can also share individual files or [TS]

01:06:14   folders with wet assessable shellings [TS]

01:06:17   no matter how large they are in a lot of times if you try to put like you know a [TS]

01:06:20   five gig file on Dropbox that might not work very well [TS]

01:06:23   with this you can send somebody a link to a file or even a whole folder you can [TS]

01:06:28   change your whole photo collection with somebody else if you really want to be [TS]

01:06:31   careful it's in there but you know you can share everything with you know with [TS]

01:06:34   anybody you want and doesn't matter how big it is there's no size limit long as [TS]

01:06:39   it fits on the transporter you can share it also multiple transporters can [TS]

01:06:43   replicate from each other and can sink so this is really good way to add [TS]

01:06:46   something off an offsite backup service you can have a good one transporter at [TS]

01:06:51   home when transporter at worker at your parents house or your friend's house or [TS]

01:06:55   whatever somewhere else and you can have automatic replication between them so [TS]

01:07:00   that you have a content replication and offsite backup you can also slightly [TS]

01:07:05   sink just one folder so that let's say you and a friend or co-worker who is a [TS]

01:07:10   transporter you can collaborate on a project together and you can have a 14 [TS]

01:07:13   of the does your shared folder you're working files for that project and knew [TS]

01:07:17   you and your co-worker can hope everything totally in sync the whole [TS]

01:07:20   time with transporting your day is only secure its never started anybody else's [TS]

01:07:25   cloud servers or theirs for that matter they don't have any data is transferred [TS]

01:07:29   directly between transporter devices and always transmitted with end-to-end [TS]

01:07:33   encryption so transporter prices start at just 500 gigs for for 200 bucks one [TS]

01:07:40   terabyte for new price drop here one terabyte for 252 terabytes for 350 and [TS]

01:07:46   is also this new option called transporter sink which is the like puck [TS]

01:07:50   shaped thing it's a hundred bucks and it has a USB port and you can plug into any [TS]

01:07:55   USB hard drive and I'll just use that as a driver and like us chances are you [TS]

01:08:00   probably have a USB harder sitting around that you're either not currently [TS]

01:08:03   using or that maybe you could buy an upgrade and put that in the transporter [TS]

01:08:06   so it's like USB and once I get on the other it's very very simple so you can [TS]

01:08:12   also take an extra 10% off any these prices with coupon code ATP verified [TS]

01:08:18   before the show you can get two terabytes for like 3 20 after shipping [TS]

01:08:22   which is really great at even looked at these prices are way cheaper than Amazon [TS]

01:08:44   you look for example if you try to store like two terabytes of data on Dropbox or [TS]

01:08:48   similar kind of country services like that it's gonna cost you quite a bit [TS]

01:08:52   every month but transporter it's a hard drive sitting in your house and it just [TS]

01:09:43   adding something big you know to your house or to your setup you don't worry [TS]

01:09:47   about it very small cuz they used two and a half inch hard drives so they're [TS]

01:09:50   very very small power and Ethernet yet very simple apparently there's something [TS]

01:09:56   that nobody's talking about that we should be talking about I i added that [TS]

01:10:00   and i didnt i didnt headed for the reasons you think this is a tweet this [TS]

01:10:04   is a tweet from somebody I'm not gonna name cause I'm not gonna gonna say [TS]

01:10:08   things about this week trying to slam this person but this is not about this [TS]

01:10:14   is a phenomenon that I see all the time and I thought it's worth talking about [TS]

01:10:19   just add this tweet has a bunch of at names at the front of it including me [TS]

01:10:24   Dan fireball Marco just call ski so that this is a pattern I'm sure Marco seen [TS]

01:10:31   this because he gets his own a lot of these things things where it's at this [TS]

01:10:34   person at that person at that person at that person and then and then like a [TS]

01:10:38   question or a statement and you look at the list of like like the two lists [TS]

01:10:42   effectively for the sweet and like what what is it that made this person to try [TS]

01:10:46   to address all these people at once the same affected if you send an email [TS]

01:10:50   I'll have a bunch of people it is but it's like an email sent to five people [TS]

01:10:55   no one feels a responsibility to respond to what it's like a shotgun blast and if [TS]

01:10:59   you shot blasting a bunch of people that are only vaguely related like i wana [TS]

01:11:03   Pakistan Marco during fireball is not John Gruber's account but it is websites [TS]

01:11:08   campaign I know him and I know the website just appalled ski runs the verge [TS]

01:11:12   is bob with the Virgin some way which is also a tech site but there's just [TS]

01:11:15   basically a bunch of England tech related people so it's kind of like [TS]

01:11:18   saying hey people whose name I know on Twitter who are involved in technology [TS]

01:11:23   hear me and then and then you say something right and the thing that they [TS]

01:11:27   said that the first minister and a side of like if you're trying to effectively [TS]

01:11:33   communicate and Twitter don't have mentioned the whole bunch of people who [TS]

01:11:35   you don't know we're just vaguely related to the topic in general cuz [TS]

01:11:38   you're not going to get a reply get every person that chain doesn't feel the [TS]

01:11:41   responsibility they have to reply right and so like either everybody ignores it [TS]

01:11:46   even if you think it needs to have a reply you're like well I don't feel like [TS]

01:11:50   it's my responsibility to the other guys will surely plan it would end up as [TS]

01:11:53   nobody replies to this is not an effective strategy but the second part [TS]

01:11:56   of the question the question is why isn't anybody talking about the iOS [TS]

01:12:00   notification saying in a West End the never shipped and I think this is a [TS]

01:12:05   great this is a great example of when I see things like this I actually want to [TS]

01:12:14   engage and I did try to engage in a little bit didn't have the effect that I [TS]

01:12:17   thought it would because it never does like when you engage with the people you [TS]

01:12:20   I'm trying to I'm trying to Casey knows about this and so does market volatility [TS]

01:12:25   you know that the five wise thing to the W and corporate speak only heard it from [TS]

01:12:30   you [TS]

01:12:30   yeah another one of those and if you do show we'll talk about working [TS]

01:12:35   methodology and stuff like that was another one of those like fun games [TS]

01:12:39   played like teacher critical thinking and so what I replied to this person was [TS]

01:12:46   what I feel like replying to so many people in this is why isn't anybody [TS]

01:12:50   talking about this new feature that Apple's everything shipped in shape [TS]

01:12:54   whatever I said you tell me when I'm trying to get them to do is answer their [TS]

01:12:59   own question because I feel like if you could think about [TS]

01:13:02   it for like if you thought about it for a little while surely you can come up [TS]

01:13:06   with just as good as answers anybody who puts things like what you're looking for [TS]

01:13:12   the sensational version is there is a conspiracy theory here like you know [TS]

01:13:15   they they pulled the guards away from the embassy just before the terrorist [TS]

01:13:20   game and it's a big conspiracy and they don't want you to know the conspiracy [TS]

01:13:25   there is one angle why is nobody talking about this surely everybody's been paid [TS]

01:13:29   off by Apple for the conspiracy against the speech or whatever that the crazy [TS]

01:13:33   reason you can't do that this is not implied in the nothing in this message [TS]

01:13:36   that implies a special thanks to conspiracy theory that's one way you one [TS]

01:13:40   reason someone would direct the type of question like you guys should be talking [TS]

01:13:44   about it and you're not an extreme version is it's because you've all been [TS]

01:13:47   paid off by Apple that's why you're not talking about this topic nevermind that [TS]

01:13:50   only a couple people in this thing have websites where they get picked up by [TS]

01:13:54   tech don't forget the F word what's more all fanboys with an eye on the end cause [TS]

01:13:59   that makes it work somehow I don't think within this question as well a lot of [TS]

01:14:05   the questions that are like this is like why why isn't anybody talk about is a [TS]

01:14:08   leading question right but the like assume that's not the case [TS]

01:14:11   person is not a crazy conspiracy theories that is looking for some sort [TS]

01:14:14   of like we're including the chili not talk about this and it's really terrible [TS]

01:14:17   shame he's the only person who sees through the facade of of fanboys are on [TS]

01:14:22   the take home a polite that's ridiculous right so assuming we put aside that [TS]

01:14:26   ridiculous thing right and say what's left there are opposed to YouTube like [TS]

01:14:30   what is what do you think I mean none of us actually knows what could happen if [TS]

01:14:34   we did we couldn't say none of that she knows the answer is showing the present [TS]

01:14:37   and asking this question you know is that none of us working out and if we [TS]

01:14:40   did we couldn't say so all he's looking for is for us to provide an answer that [TS]

01:14:45   he thinks we're more able to provide them he is and I don't think any more [TS]

01:14:49   able to provide an answer not gonna ask you to what do you think is the answer [TS]

01:14:52   to this question of why isn't anybody talking about bis notification sink in [TS]

01:14:56   West End never shipped if you want to take it to talk about it I can I take [TS]

01:15:03   would get removed or something I'm serious why what is your best guess the [TS]

01:15:10   answer that question why isn't anybody talking about [TS]

01:15:13   I forgot for whatever reason it got [TS]

01:15:16   County priority while the Y is it hasn't happened about the prioritized hers and [TS]

01:15:20   on why doesn't anyone talk about it said Marcus and I completely forgot that was [TS]

01:15:24   a things are going to be a thing I should say that's more or less the [TS]

01:15:27   answer I would give because sometimes features don't make it into software and [TS]

01:15:32   it's not a feature that anyone really care about that much anyway so the [TS]

01:15:35   answer to why isn't anybody talking about this feature that didn't ship is [TS]

01:15:37   because we just don't ship and software all the time and this is was wasn't [TS]

01:15:40   particularly highly anticipated future anyway that's the that's the answer [TS]

01:15:44   like I dunno hundred percent certainty but that lets the literal answer to why [TS]

01:15:48   isn't anybody talk about obscure features didn't ship was like it's not a [TS]

01:15:52   conspiracy theory features don't ship all the time and not a lot of people [TS]

01:15:57   care about it that's that's pretty much the answer and I feel like the person [TS]

01:16:02   asked that question could have arrived at that very same answer if they had [TS]

01:16:06   looked inward and outward with this question I can really ask himself why is [TS]

01:16:10   it that that no one is talking about that and if the answer they arrive at is [TS]

01:16:14   it to conspiracy very well then I can help them unless they have some evidence [TS]

01:16:18   that that's the case but like its it has the most is this worth sending 25 people [TS]

01:16:24   this question that you could answer yourself like it's a boring answer no [TS]

01:16:27   one here but I really think that's the answer and and this this model of I get [TS]

01:16:33   my check information or information about the you know the latest and [TS]

01:16:37   greatest cars or drum sets or whatever from the side of people who who know [TS]

01:16:40   more about the topic like that only go so far to certain point you have to [TS]

01:16:45   engage your own critical thinking and see if you can come up with something on [TS]

01:16:49   your own because all the other people you're asking you're doing is exact same [TS]

01:16:52   thing you could do like it sometimes you had inside information insider [TS]

01:16:56   historical context but not very specific instances like this is like no one cares [TS]

01:17:00   about this one was talking about it and they didn't ship because sometimes [TS]

01:17:03   things don't ship and maybe that's true maybe this person know something that I [TS]

01:17:07   don't that there was a big dramatic fight with Apple executives and they [TS]

01:17:11   demanded a thing not ship in you know who knows but I don't know that you know [TS]

01:17:15   that and surely this group of five people not expecting those details and [TS]

01:17:18   that's that's the only reason includes not to help the person asking it because [TS]

01:17:22   you're not supposed to ask questions people ask you know whatever [TS]

01:17:24   everyone does it I had mentioned random celebrities and say things all the time [TS]

01:17:27   in the near respond like we all do it right but I just thought it was a good [TS]

01:17:32   example of an effective at mentioning and asking questions that they [TS]

01:17:37   themselves I feel I could have answered just as well as we could I have nothing [TS]

01:17:41   to head to ask you pretty much know that I'm not markedly of anythink [TS]

01:17:46   yeah I think this is probably it's probably a really boring story it's [TS]

01:17:52   probably like oh you know either either couldn't get it in time and it wasn't [TS]

01:17:56   that important so we'll work on it for the next release or for you know that [TS]

01:18:00   point something or they know they could have figured out something you know [TS]

01:18:05   between when it was announced and when it was shipped they could have figured [TS]

01:18:09   out you know oh actually it has really weird horrible problem that makes a [TS]

01:18:14   really bad idea to do it all you know I mean I find that all the time which is [TS]

01:18:18   one of the reasons I don't usually pronounced features like I have some [TS]

01:18:21   some feature of all work on the oldest gonna be great and then I like 90% [TS]

01:18:25   through with it I realized oh wait a minute this is actually impossible to be [TS]

01:18:31   good or even shippable because of this particular condition or problem or [TS]

01:18:35   education or anything else and so maybe they had something like that you know [TS]

01:18:38   the scale they're working on time and I think the question I guess they're [TS]

01:18:43   actually kind of a trap getting back to the stuff we talked about 41 or whatever [TS]

01:18:47   we're talking about like online courses and stuff [TS]

01:18:49   leading questions like this that seemed like vaguely accusatory for no reason [TS]

01:18:53   directed multiple people seeking some kind of engagement on topic where [TS]

01:18:57   there's no real engagement rehab it's very easy to get into a pointless play [TS]

01:19:01   moreover nothing by responding to these type of questions again made it a [TS]

01:19:06   person's intent is not you know the feeling that we get reading that is [TS]

01:19:09   probably very different content the person asking but the way it's phrases [TS]

01:19:13   like oh you're into people I demand to know why XY and Z and none of us [TS]

01:19:20   actually know and all we can give us the same as I can so that he can give [TS]

01:19:23   himself if you try to say anything back like if like try try imagining to walk [TS]

01:19:28   my interpreter of trying to say what I said and big long rambling we're back to [TS]

01:19:33   this person on Twitter say well you know [TS]

01:19:36   features don't ship in software old time because they don't make the shipping [TS]

01:19:40   deadlines and it was in his highly anticipated and demanded an important [TS]

01:19:45   enough to be worth reporting on the fact that it didn't ship if you could fit [TS]

01:19:51   that into a treaty reply thats like you you start an argument well this report [TS]

01:19:55   you don't don't you understand how many people want this feature it's super [TS]

01:19:58   important let me tell you why you can argue with the person but why you think [TS]

01:20:01   it's important it's a matter of you think the part I'm telling you why I [TS]

01:20:03   think it didn't ship is like it only matters if people who run websites and [TS]

01:20:08   blogs and is important and doesn't matter of individual person thinks [TS]

01:20:10   important matters in aggregate did most people did a majority people did enough [TS]

01:20:14   people that it's noticeable did anybody right about this although I'm doing an [TS]

01:20:18   iPhone guy who did write about it and he's like you just get into the generals [TS]

01:20:21   and what are we even arguing about how much I would much rather work begins [TS]

01:20:25   people always say you tell me the answer I like so many people send me the [TS]

01:20:30   Twitter messages and emails but I feel like I don't want answers I want you to [TS]

01:20:34   arrive at the answer yourself even if it's a different answer than I would [TS]

01:20:36   give because I have no extra knowledge about this than you do it's kind of like [TS]

01:20:41   the tech support thing which all their topic that I want to get into now and [TS]

01:20:45   again in order to make it seem like you know I feel put upon by these things cuz [TS]

01:20:48   I have no problem just not responding to these tweets when they come especially [TS]

01:20:51   when they have a million at names and then I assume everybody else in these [TS]

01:20:54   giant doesn't respond to locate a check and I feel like Marco and so these [TS]

01:20:57   people don't understand why he's doing it so how you think he's bad I am such a [TS]

01:21:01   sucker for these sorts of things I I always buy if there's a little little [TS]

01:21:05   worm in front of me I'm always by yeah I have no problems no problem just not [TS]

01:21:11   responding but so many times I just want to I want to call them up the phone and [TS]

01:21:15   say why do you think and I want them to think about it themselves and the give [TS]

01:21:24   me like they don't want they don't like well like they're trying to anticipate [TS]

01:21:27   like like like i know im doing a leading question like what do you think like [TS]

01:21:31   they think I have an answer in mind and I'm trying to trick them to say it I'm [TS]

01:21:35   just want them to focus their thought process on it and come up with an answer [TS]

01:21:39   like I would like to turn around and say this is an area where we both have equal [TS]

01:21:43   and very little knowledge I have a theory do you have a theory was sheriff [TS]

01:21:48   there is with each other [TS]

01:21:49   and unlike not not you know not turned into an argument so next time that you [TS]

01:21:54   want to ask all of us including John one of those questions on Twitter include a [TS]

01:21:57   phone number so many times that I can we talk about all online stuff that's part [TS]

01:22:05   of podcasting alike feel like the the band with the sort of expressive been [TS]

01:22:10   with data bandwidth instant message email and stuff like that is still so [TS]

01:22:15   much less than voice communication that so many times whether it's in an [TS]

01:22:19   argument or you know trying to help somebody like trying to help my parents [TS]

01:22:22   get something working on their computer or whatever I just immediately want to [TS]

01:22:26   run to the higher bandwidth connection like them just let me talk to you on the [TS]

01:22:29   phone like I can I can talk you through it all though it's kind of hard being [TS]

01:22:32   like to see a box on the screen is it a grey box does it have you know like tech [TS]

01:22:36   support is difficult but you know for arguments every of a disagreement or [TS]

01:22:39   whatever especially when you're constrained by Twitter like I did not [TS]

01:22:43   call this person I thought we get settled in 10 minutes can't do it and go [TS]

01:22:50   back to stick quick step you mentioned episode 41 which is where we were [TS]

01:22:54   talking about online criticism and things like that [TS]

01:22:56   this week's back to work which was upset 149 Merlin had a a typically awesome and [TS]

01:23:02   I mean that with no sarcasm Marilyn called a ran but but a monologue about [TS]

01:23:07   about kind of sort of vaguely inspired by what we had set on episode 41 it's [TS]

01:23:12   really really good so if you haven't heard that even if you're not a normal [TS]

01:23:15   listener you should check that out because it's very very very good and [TS]

01:23:21   with that let's wrap it up for this week thanks a lot to our three sponsors this [TS]

01:23:24   week [TS]

01:23:25   Pixelmator / Pixelmator file transporter and Squarespace and we will see you next [TS]

01:23:30   week [TS]

01:23:33   now this show they didn't even mean to begin was accidental [TS]

01:23:42   john Kasay cuz it was accidental [TS]

01:23:52   and a team Marco [TS]

01:24:32   I hope you guys don't want to go to bed from neutral to get through because not [TS]

01:24:39   only do I wanna hear about your car John a little more about that but the m3 and [TS]

01:24:43   m4 were quasi officially announced today in oh my goodness does the tree look [TS]

01:24:46   good man forestal that banana color gold metallic process i cant i get older it's [TS]

01:24:56   only available now I can't I can't get over it I don't know what's going on [TS]

01:25:01   over there in Germany that they think this is acceptable but did you see the [TS]

01:25:05   m3 hard look so good it really does I still think that like the DMV not be m5 [TS]

01:25:13   the regular files there is still by far the most attractive car the BMW makes [TS]

01:25:17   this generation and they're kind of obsession with putting these kinda like [TS]

01:25:22   skin flaps like their style architecture of like over gonna make the the more [TS]

01:25:25   aggressive looking body cladding and front fascia and everything it does look [TS]

01:25:29   more aggressive and mostly looks good but the whole the whole skin flap design [TS]

01:25:35   we're kind of organic curves overlapping stuff I find a less appealing anymore [TS]

01:25:39   mechanical or the other said inspector more sort of sculptural type of thing [TS]

01:25:45   like a Ferrari and let I'm not entirely happy with the pace with the plastic [TS]

01:25:49   bolt-on bits they put on the ends and a lot of cases the end still do look much [TS]

01:25:53   better and more aggressive than the regulars but then in the in the my new [TS]

01:25:57   details of the front rear and little bit if not just like my life too much is not [TS]

01:26:03   getting any one of those cars but the m5 compared to the regular 5 series that [TS]

01:26:07   you like so much I there's actually if you put the M Sport option on the five [TS]

01:26:12   series I think it's almost identical externally there's very very few [TS]

01:26:15   differences yeah yeah it's it's like the Carrera for us where they get their body [TS]

01:26:20   work but nothing like the five series has good bones kind of like the [TS]

01:26:26   structure the proportions where the headlights are like everything about it [TS]

01:26:29   is nicely it's all you know and it's just the little details very insecure up [TS]

01:26:33   a little bit I think the m5 for the more aggressive front rear plastic bolt-on [TS]

01:26:37   thing looks a little bit fussy for me whereas they regular file [TS]

01:26:40   looks sort of more stately in subdued trading with the car but the m3 and m4 [TS]

01:26:46   at the same time again for like the shape of it the coop shape they really [TS]

01:26:49   you know it looks looks nice and aggressive and then details around the [TS]

01:26:53   bumpers and sort of the haunches it gets a little bit fussy and weird for me the [TS]

01:26:57   front air dam on the very very very extreme outsides it has kind of Ferrari [TS]

01:27:03   ish kind of like in the the outside at the upper part comes down around but the [TS]

01:27:09   other part doesn't meet up with it it's like her lips almost not ellipse but a [TS]

01:27:14   set of lips and then on the back it has like a similar like shape on the very [TS]

01:27:20   extreme edges that I'm not in love with icon which was a little simpler like my [TS]

01:27:23   era flaps you know you're right skin flap is a very good way to describe it [TS]

01:27:29   but generally overall I just think it will [TS]

01:27:32   m3 particularly looks incredible I want one so hard and I'm like I don't think I [TS]

01:27:38   could ever afford my car brand new I mean it was I we've talked about this ad [TS]

01:27:43   nauseam is like 55 grams or something like that knew this I forget what the [TS]

01:27:46   starting price is going to be but I'm sure it's going to be insane and just [TS]

01:27:50   stupid expensive but about 70 thing I think they thought they announced to [TS]

01:27:55   perhaps not new US dollars but anyway doesn't have the point is a private I [TS]

01:27:58   would say 70 ish certainly 7275 option the way you wouldn't want and so can [TS]

01:28:04   turn 19 in the chat just asked what am I getting one get one when it's actually [TS]

01:28:08   affordable as a used car which is a decade have one in four years [TS]

01:28:13   get him black though I'm not getting black actually to be honest I was [TS]

01:28:17   discussing with mice the same friend Brian that we're talking TVs with and [TS]

01:28:21   the name of the soldier was maybe Silverstone you would get it and silver [TS]

01:28:26   well no it's so here's the thing I'm at the Blue that they have in the press [TS]

01:28:30   shots was a moment I forget its iPad Smart Cover blue yeah yeah I like it but [TS]

01:28:39   I don't love it [TS]

01:28:40   however the silver that I'm speaking of its a silver bullet like this weird [TS]

01:28:45   bluish hue to it that I actually kinda like I don't think I would get it why it [TS]

01:28:50   if I could if I could [TS]

01:28:52   ever find one I would definitely go if I would be able to afford one brand new I [TS]

01:28:56   didn't get it [TS]

01:28:57   individuals with my mom blue if such a thing was affordable possible but if not [TS]

01:29:01   that I probably get its own person or so but I'll man looks so good it was like [TS]

01:29:07   what 459 the stats 425 425 height 400 pound-feet of torque from about 200 rpm [TS]

01:29:15   and yet the the fuel economy is actually up quite a bit again I don't have [TS]

01:29:21   numbers and try to me but whatever was it was very very very good [TS]

01:29:24   443 what do you think about their little Chrysler ask things behind the little [TS]

01:29:31   vents behind the front wheels but the little chrome before Marco jumps and [TS]

01:29:36   what do you what do you think of them John I'm kind of okay with doing those [TS]

01:29:43   details on just on the AM serious but the actual execution this particular [TS]

01:29:46   detail I think the chrome thing coming out of it too much and I don't think [TS]

01:29:49   these scoop fits in with the rest of the body workout looks a little bit like a [TS]

01:29:53   little bit tacked on kind of I do like the lamb symbol on the brake pad brake [TS]

01:29:59   caliper I actually agree with you on the under side vent I I think the side vent [TS]

01:30:08   is in general it is one of my favorite little features of the M cars and it [TS]

01:30:12   annoys me that you can go and see see it like on every Ford Taurus and crappy key [TS]

01:30:18   a ripoff that late they they totally ripped at styling off in the AM cos I'm [TS]

01:30:22   pretty sure their cars to that a long time before anyone else from the AM cars [TS]

01:30:27   more than 10 years it's a regular on racing cars and other high-performance [TS]

01:30:33   cars that on many of them it is a functional thing yes and the American [TS]

01:30:37   ones usually not function as a Service detail but the BMW did not invent [TS]

01:30:40   whatever that vendors that's behind the front wheel with little chrome accent [TS]

01:30:45   like it it looks very least one other one of the people do it looks very BMW [TS]

01:30:48   but anyway I love that little event and that's one of the reasons I got the m5 [TS]

01:30:53   as I love it love it so much I will say on this new m3 and m4 I don't love it as [TS]

01:30:57   much as I agree that it doesn't really fit in that well [TS]

01:31:00   it it's not like the way that little chrome pieces guy stuck on there like [TS]

01:31:05   it's like the way it was done the five it's it's actually like wrapped like the [TS]

01:31:11   event itself is trimmed in groom and like thats it [TS]

01:31:16   this is like the event itself is made of metal and they like stuck in the middle [TS]

01:31:19   of it instead I don't know I'm not also I'm not a big fan of that I I don't [TS]

01:31:24   think it makes the car look worse but I don't make me look better they should [TS]

01:31:29   bring back the stealth style that BMW's to have where they're fast cars and [TS]

01:31:34   Mercedes had this been back in the late eighties early nineties where the [TS]

01:31:38   high-performance versions of cars looked very similar to the regular ones and you [TS]

01:31:42   know you couldn't tell you that blend in with traffic like basically take this m3 [TS]

01:31:46   and pop off those plastic bits and put the boring plastic bits back on but [TS]

01:31:50   still have a be M three underneath right see what you're describing in my [TS]

01:31:53   personal opinion is the e39 m5 which is the early two thousands which I was [TS]

01:31:59   discussing with somebody on Twitter earlier today it is the pinnacle of [TS]

01:32:03   understated power you know the kind of sleeper approach which was there were a [TS]

01:32:08   couple places where you could tell was 95 the front air dam is a great example [TS]

01:32:12   it was quite exhausted she'd never saw and still don't really see on BMW car [TS]

01:32:17   but by and large it didn't have 350 m badges on it and even though I really do [TS]

01:32:22   enjoy Marcus car and I think it's a fantastic automobile it is everywhere [TS]

01:32:26   and it's kind of ridiculous and e39 m5 was not like that and and and I to this [TS]

01:32:32   day every great once in awhile go poking through Autotrader tell myself I'm gonna [TS]

01:32:36   get one and then I was so because they are so old now and so expensive to keep [TS]

01:32:41   on the road but it was the best I also did speaking of too many elegant [TS]

01:32:47   everywhere I saw as a big confirm that they apparently there's a feature where [TS]

01:32:52   there's M logo on the back of the seats that light up the I read that haven't [TS]

01:32:57   seen a picture and it's terrible play engine noise out of them and if that's a [TS]

01:33:03   real future that's pretty bad [TS]

01:33:05   like that so I can do worse they have a so there's launch control which is [TS]

01:33:10   setting on your car that you've never tried that but there's also they have [TS]

01:33:14   and I'm gonna get the name wrong but it's something as lame as smoky burnouts [TS]

01:33:19   mode it what is it like launched in trouble but they lose the did not try to [TS]

01:33:23   get traction precise [TS]

01:33:26   yea oh my god this way if you wanna do like if you wanna be a total hooligan [TS]

01:33:31   and and dual in show off a little bit Antonio roast year $1,500 tires whatever [TS]

01:33:36   they are you can put it in smoky burnouts mode and it will let you do a [TS]

01:33:40   burnout up some magnitude can't just turn off the traction control stop on [TS]

01:33:46   the gases that effectively the same thing one would think especially in a [TS]

01:33:49   stick you can just dump the clutch when the engines at 2000 rpm which is like [TS]

01:33:54   eight million Torx but how it works and ect to that's true you only in reverse [TS]

01:33:59   as we found out on the snow but anyway yes there's a smoking ban MOT was funny [TS]

01:34:04   because I believe for just announced for the Mustang and and and so BMW has also [TS]

01:34:10   come out with us it's appropriate for the Mustang Mustang exposed to smoking [TS]

01:34:15   for now but i just want to bring up cuz I I think this hurt a key features they [TS]

01:34:21   they can launch control I can understand cuz in the same Brian and his r32 he had [TS]

01:34:27   lunch control which he had done a launch control launch that's not redundant once [TS]

01:34:33   or twice with me in the car and so there are 32 / 36 Senate and House X [TS]

01:34:39   all-wheel-drive system and I tell you what when he did launch control launched [TS]

01:34:44   it was some incredible I mean you were getting shot out of a cannon because it [TS]

01:34:48   was all wheel drive and it had a decent amount of torque it wasn't stupidly [TS]

01:34:52   happy and so it was quick but I should go back a step in mention that the smoky [TS]

01:34:57   burnouts mode in every spelling I've seen its awesome ok ey which just makes [TS]

01:35:01   it even worse maybe they mean the bear who knows I don't know it's just [TS]

01:35:06   horrible [TS]

01:35:07   but anyway but I on all the m3 in principle having never seen one in real [TS]

01:35:12   life having only read things on the internets gets to very enthusiastic [TS]

01:35:15   thumbs up from me do we know has anybody reviewed the steering yet because it has [TS]

01:35:21   electric power steering and everyone hates electric power steering so far in [TS]

01:35:24   these say that in this one they fixed it and now it's like now it has enough [TS]

01:35:29   feedback and responsiveness but I don't think every viewer has actually driven [TS]

01:35:33   one and and and evaluated that yet I don't think so [TS]

01:35:35   car driver drove the m4 member they said it's significant that the steering but I [TS]

01:35:40   think they said that the overall they like to but it was just a first [TS]

01:35:43   impression thing but that's that's how you'll know because congressman slamming [TS]

01:35:47   the steering on the electric power steering being dummies in particular [TS]

01:35:50   like like a scorned lover because car driver has been a magazine that for [TS]

01:35:53   decades has been like a BMW wins every comparison and Justin this current [TS]

01:35:57   generation with a broad electrical power steering everywhere that they've been [TS]

01:36:00   all pissy about it so I'll tell all you know when they get that car driver they [TS]

01:36:04   brought finally brought them back around but right now they're very cranky about [TS]

01:36:08   it because I've I've never driven an EPS system that was good and I i love my my [TS]

01:36:15   current car does not happen to my current car light truck steering and all [TS]

01:36:19   the other five series's have GPS the m5 does not it still has hydraulic car [TS]

01:36:25   driver hits your car for other reasons that's true and and some of them there [TS]

01:36:29   was some of them I agree with them some of the most of them I don't but like run [TS]

01:36:33   like hell and I'm like this is going to be like my John Gruber keyboard [TS]

01:36:36   until somebody makes the only one that actually that matches this never [TS]

01:36:43   happened you would think like if not if not the second generation by the third [TS]

01:36:47   trial to all the car makers will have gotten it by their third trial is like [TS]

01:36:51   they are told the same like told you they all used the F transmissions like [TS]

01:36:54   whoever supplying these electrical power systems plus whatever program they [TS]

01:36:58   figure out that the figure out just a couple of generations now does tips new [TS]

01:37:03   car does that have electric steering it does doesn't it not only does it have it [TS]

01:37:07   but she noticed it on the very first row on the drive home from the dealership [TS]

01:37:10   after taking that dr she asked me she's looking at the steering feels kind of [TS]

01:37:15   weird it's like it's not taking any effort in it doesn't really quite feel [TS]

01:37:19   right if you look at steering like [TS]

01:37:20   almost too much around certain tight corners just instantly there and doesn't [TS]

01:37:24   feel right just just went over to drive by wire nissan has a Dr our customers a [TS]

01:37:30   couple of makers have drug go are things that there's going to be even weirder so [TS]

01:37:33   that that's a problem like that probably get the electrical system power steering [TS]

01:37:36   working ok but then everyone will switch over again to drive by wire and then [TS]

01:37:39   we'll have to go through three generations of that feeling weird so [TS]

01:37:45   this I just wondering I think it's really awesome mroue briefly said that [TS]

01:37:49   you might consider an m3 as your next car if the you know obviously it's a few [TS]

01:37:55   years out but just hypothetically are you still thinking that's the case based [TS]

01:37:58   on what little you know so far I would really have to drive one of the first to [TS]

01:38:03   really say absolutely now that I've seen I got so I've been intense cart if just [TS]

01:38:07   got her 3G T and it's it's fantastic for everything that we needed her car to be [TS]

01:38:12   and she loves it and it's it's really nice I end and I will say I'm very [TS]

01:38:16   jealous of two features that it has that one available on my car [TS]

01:38:19   the automatic high beam thing and and radar cruise control both of those I [TS]

01:38:25   thought might be gimmicky and useless turns out they're both awesome and I [TS]

01:38:29   wish I had them and figures were not available the m5 which is unfortunate so [TS]

01:38:33   that being said you know going having driven a five series for all these [TS]

01:38:39   months and going back to the 3 series for a couple of drives we've taken with [TS]

01:38:43   her car together I actually missed a lot of the five Series luxuries [TS]

01:38:48   I didn't think I would but the five series is more substantial more [TS]

01:38:53   luxurious in a few ways and I i really did miss that difference when I when I [TS]

01:38:57   was driving her car and it was too it's still a very nice car and compared to [TS]

01:39:01   the road it's fantastic and very luxurious but there is a difference and [TS]

01:39:07   I wouldn't it would in some ways be a step down like John $7 monitor size so [TS]

01:39:15   that would be that would hurt a little bit the big thing though is that I'm [TS]

01:39:19   just so incredibly happy with the m5 I really am a guy I was telling us [TS]

01:39:23   privately but also for the ericas I didn't say that [TS]

01:39:28   you know the M cars like most movies like many cars are on like a seven-year [TS]

01:39:32   generation lifecycle roughly and and so if I it so I have a three-year lease at [TS]

01:39:39   the end of the lease it's not gonna be the new generation as it's going to be [TS]

01:39:43   like two years before the degeneration switchover probably so I don't know what [TS]

01:39:48   to do at the end of this lease I like if I it would be stupid to get a new one [TS]

01:39:53   just like the one I have like that would be incredibly wasteful and costly and [TS]

01:39:57   you know just wouldn't make sense I'm probably gonna buy this one out at the [TS]

01:40:01   end of lease and then wait until the new one comes out and then traded it into a [TS]

01:40:05   new least because i like it so much it really is perfect for me and and I have [TS]

01:40:11   no major complaints at all [TS]

01:40:13   must still think it'll be ugly that's true it very well could be but I'm [TS]

01:40:21   betting the next 15 has all-wheel drive I i mean almost certain it will happen [TS]

01:40:26   and I don't think it'll be standard but I bet will be available yet you say that [TS]

01:40:32   but watch just watch away five thousand pounds 3244 some its 43 my cars over [TS]

01:40:42   3,500 and and and and this is like they they don't use a lot it if I don't even [TS]

01:40:48   know if that use any carbon fiber in the m5 today the m3 the new m3 makes [TS]

01:40:53   extensive use of carbon fiber in lots of different places so that's like they [TS]

01:40:57   were focused on weight savings for the new m3 now there in developing the new 7 [TS]

01:41:02   series which is also using the switch-hitting stuff after that I but [TS]

01:41:07   there is on the five series with the same way saving stuff and then they do [TS]

01:41:10   the m5 so it's I'm guessing they're gonna fuck that's going to be one of the [TS]

01:41:15   focuses on the new one is saving a bunch of weight and you know I may be able to [TS]

01:41:18   be like you know it's gonna be a thousand pounds but maybe it'll be two [TS]

01:41:22   or three hundred you know it's gonna be able to make a difference and I think [TS]

01:41:26   they have to add all-wheel drive because already it has more power than it can we [TS]

01:41:30   put down the road at low speed like they need more more places to put this power [TS]

01:41:36   there the engines are hurting so much power they just cant [TS]

01:41:39   it can't use it all properly with that said you had the car out at least in the [TS]

01:41:44   driveway in the snow did you take it past the end of the driveway I did ya I [TS]

01:41:48   i didnt fact so I discussed on neutral this situation where I got stuck in the [TS]

01:41:53   100 year ago where I tried taking it out in like really slippery like packed [TS]

01:41:58   slush ice conditions and got stuck in a grocery store parking lot [TS]

01:42:02   well this year I have the m5 and I have snow tires on the very first time the [TS]

01:42:08   one AM had its all season [TS]

01:42:10   sorry it's it's summer tires on that not only were they summer tires were also [TS]

01:42:13   pretty ball by that point so they were really worn down summertime no grip it [TS]

01:42:19   all so I get stuck in the parking lot and could move it was off so I went out [TS]

01:42:25   with my winter tires the first time in his car in our first snowfall we've only [TS]

01:42:29   got like two inches of snow but I went out like the worst of it to try to test [TS]

01:42:32   this out to see how bad I went out I took my car down to the exact same [TS]

01:42:38   grocery store parking lot it was similar conditions but not as bad that it like [TS]

01:42:43   there was tons of slush and icy slush all over the park but you would still be [TS]

01:42:49   hitting pavement most of the time so I can't say for sure if it's a huge [TS]

01:42:52   difference yet but I try to be tried stopping short I tried turning tightly I [TS]

01:42:57   tried pushing the castle to aggressively to see if I'd spin around at all or at [TS]

01:43:03   least future traction control light and it was just like driving on dry pavement [TS]

01:43:08   it was shockingly good at it was a massive difference compared to the balls [TS]

01:43:15   summer tires having brand new winter tires on a car with a more advanced [TS]

01:43:19   differential and a little better balance and a lot more weight [TS]

01:43:22   made a huge difference so so far I'm pretty confident this is actually work [TS]

01:43:26   out pretty well I want to choose not to be smug about this yet because I believe [TS]

01:43:32   you and I went back and forth about this forever and just like you always end up [TS]

01:43:35   convincing me and I always end up being glad that you did [TS]

01:43:39   so far it sounds like I might have convinced you the right way but I don't [TS]

01:43:44   want to count my chickens quite yeah I I think you're right I think you know [TS]

01:43:48   let's wait until the rest of the winter happens and like way too I had to deal [TS]

01:43:51   with way worse conditions than that to see freely for sure like you know was a [TS]

01:43:56   huge mistake to not get all wheel drive but so far I'm very pleased with them [TS]

01:44:02   but again it's there is only one snowstorm and it was fairly mild so it's [TS]

01:44:07   hard to say yet [TS]

01:44:08   alright so after much delay because I had to be total BMW fanboy within i John [TS]

01:44:15   what's more accord complaints we talked about what key fobs last time we talked [TS]

01:44:21   about on a call with stocks that address the question that hadn't thought about [TS]

01:44:27   trying out the new car where in the in the car should the dead pedal be [TS]

01:44:34   option it should be all the way on the left [TS]

01:44:38   probably against the side of the car and it should be flat and it should be about [TS]

01:44:44   the size your foot how far away should be from the clutch home now I don't mean [TS]

01:44:49   I don't mean distance from like it should be it should be like you should [TS]

01:44:54   give it a rest on it as if you were resting on the pedal but not pressed at [TS]

01:44:59   all I would agree with that they my previous record and I think the previous [TS]

01:45:04   civics as well [TS]

01:45:06   had the dead pedal at the distance from you where the clutches like partially [TS]

01:45:10   depressed so it was basically at the clutches of totally up the Daedalus past [TS]

01:45:14   where it is and I found that much more comfortable because I have long legs to [TS]

01:45:18   rest my foot on something that's not that that's farther back than the [TS]

01:45:22   totally untouched clutch pedal and the new Accord the dead pedal is as you [TS]

01:45:26   described it as basically the same distance from from the seat as the the [TS]

01:45:31   untouched clutch or brake pad or whatever kind of in that same plane of [TS]

01:45:34   pedals and that feels way too close to me and part of that is that all the [TS]

01:45:37   pedal steel to close are not adjustable steering wheel doesn't telescope so my [TS]

01:45:43   my choices to see back lean back and everything I i feel like im my knees are [TS]

01:45:48   squished up a little because I move the seat back so that my knees are bruised [TS]

01:45:51   up like that and then it goes steering [TS]

01:45:53   too far away because the seat back is pushed back this descargar not made i [TS]

01:45:58   mean they're made for big americans maybe not made for 62 people or whatever [TS]

01:46:00   but that the dead pedal particular in the palace's final dividend particular [TS]

01:46:05   just feel that way too close and it's because of our museum used to all my [TS]

01:46:08   other hunters with a dead pedal was farther back [TS]

01:46:11   untouched clutch bell so it's not the end of the world but it's there and if [TS]

01:46:15   you like it could have been fixed either with adjustable pedals which a lot of [TS]

01:46:18   american cars are offering which i think are great idea you know you can make it [TS]

01:46:21   economically better to have adjustable pedals and adjustable steering column [TS]

01:46:25   since they couldn't find a position or at the very least a telescoping wheel [TS]

01:46:30   but I don't have to tell me and I will give you props for finally making a car [TS]

01:46:35   where I can just the steering wheel so that I can see all the gauges the little [TS]

01:46:40   half-moon shape that this is a very tall inevitably the steering wheel cuts off [TS]

01:46:46   like the top of the speedometer whatever thing is at the top [TS]

01:46:50   this one I can see all the gate is exactly sure thing when I tell the wheel [TS]

01:46:53   to the correct position that's nice now Marco and I learned while market you [TS]

01:46:58   probably in this your first event but Marco and under sworn I learned at the [TS]

01:47:03   BMW thing we went to that the correct distance from the wheel is that if you [TS]

01:47:07   put your arms straight out and you rest your wrists on the top of the steering [TS]

01:47:12   wheel you should be able to flop your hands down the best way of describing it [TS]

01:47:18   but basically you should be able to put your wrist on the top of the wheel and [TS]

01:47:22   without being terribly uncomfortable that's how far away should be from the [TS]

01:47:25   wheel and the best thing is like I'm already farther away than that [TS]

01:47:30   and a lot of it has to do with the seat back position because I have to tell the [TS]

01:47:33   back because it addressed and also because you know if you start sending [TS]

01:47:37   operate my hair my head start the closer to the ceiling and all that other stuff [TS]

01:47:40   so i think im my hands are already four other way that if I if I put my shoulder [TS]

01:47:44   blades against the back of the seat my should push my shoulders back and say ok [TS]

01:47:47   now I'm fully in the seat of my pants Florida the measured in the car tomorrow [TS]

01:47:51   the drug possession it feels okay it's the pedal feel a little bit closed and [TS]

01:47:56   the clinton also be a little bit light which I don't notice until I go into the [TS]

01:47:59   old according to officials have you get used to it doesn't feel on pleasing [TS]

01:48:05   allowed in fact it feels pretty good of course you know they stick shift slowly [TS]

01:48:09   deteriorate as use the car and they start feeling a little bit not sure and [TS]

01:48:13   more growth in the still feels like a new car stick shift in a new car [TS]

01:48:16   collector just nice to talk about the iPod playback last time with no pause [TS]

01:48:21   button to find one for today as I'll talk more about the screens in another [TS]

01:48:29   show and the on-screen displays and everything I think this hundred as a [TS]

01:48:33   reasonable job of striking a balance between physical controls and three [TS]

01:48:37   neutrals partly because I didn't get the option that has like the the fancy [TS]

01:48:41   screen with navigation everything because I didn't want to pay for it and [TS]

01:48:44   say I rather I prefer the physical controls was only put that screen in [TS]

01:48:48   there thanks to a second screen the screen in it takes the place of lots of [TS]

01:48:53   physical control so my car has physical controls first fans be bent position [TS]

01:48:57   auto climate control on off and you know the different temperatures for the [TS]

01:49:02   passenger it has to control some of the physical controls they chose to use a [TS]

01:49:07   bunch of buttons that are flush with each other but you know each other with [TS]

01:49:12   nothing in between them except within gap of you know not even a little [TS]

01:49:16   plastic flange it was just like button button by an all in one smooth [TS]

01:49:19   continuous thing they are impossible to find it without touching and it's like [TS]

01:49:23   dials people dials I can reach for a dial and you know you could feel this [TS]

01:49:28   the five positions may be viewed even just memorize the endpoints crying [TS]

01:49:32   already left recalled to the right Quito el pito it down on a button to go up up [TS]

01:49:36   up down down [TS]

01:49:36   down to look at the digital display I don't want to have to search around this [TS]

01:49:40   smooth featureless expansive buttons feeling the scenes to try to guess which [TS]

01:49:44   one of these like the fan speed up and down buttons are next to each other and [TS]

01:49:48   his last one down the right one up at the right one down there in the middle [TS]

01:49:51   of a series of identical buttons are completely smooth it's terrible what I [TS]

01:49:56   wouldn't give for couple dials like I don't like it's good friday physical [TS]

01:50:00   controls that are not just going to deal with this stuff but dials people it's so [TS]

01:50:03   easy $1 france bid $1 m position they had offered for generations for decades [TS]

01:50:09   I mean like to be got out of engage consoles but these days the numbers in [TS]

01:50:13   this at all people like that is better you know you going to look at the angle [TS]

01:50:16   of the thing without reading the numbers same thing on the dashboard I wish they [TS]

01:50:19   would put dials more physical dials and fewer identical buttons one of the [TS]

01:50:25   things I like about my BMW and this is true markets as well is that there are a [TS]

01:50:31   lot of physical buttons for things and they're differentiable without having to [TS]

01:50:37   look down or by glancing down at most and the eye Dr as we talked about quite [TS]

01:50:41   a long time and the actual neutral episodes having a tactile feedback [TS]

01:50:46   control input is to me a whole lot better in my friend of mine has an early [TS]

01:50:53   2000 Honda Pilot with a touchscreen navigation system which I just don't [TS]

01:50:59   care for it all because even as a passenger if I try to operate that is [TS]

01:51:02   I'm going down the road it's just impossible to have any sort of accuracy [TS]

01:51:05   so I totally agree with you when I also liked as much as I the nostalgic we [TS]

01:51:11   enjoy the all-digital dashes of like the Corvettes in the eighties for example [TS]

01:51:16   ATT's it's so much easier to just get a vague notion of where you are engaged by [TS]

01:51:22   looking down at a needle rather than having to read in compute what your [TS]

01:51:26   speed is for example although to be fair that didn't bother me as much on Marcos [TS]

01:51:31   fancy pants heads up display of its in your field of vision [TS]

01:51:35   that's bad but like butt dials I would absent minded we Filipinos card does [TS]

01:51:38   have automatic climate control I still find that I want to micromanage my fan [TS]

01:51:42   speed just because they do and I can absentmindedly micromanage fans who you [TS]

01:51:46   with a dial without even thinking about it like it's it's it's automatic is [TS]

01:51:49   driving for me and my other cars and be constantly adjusting the fan speed of [TS]

01:51:52   the temperature with dials and now they both have buttons in the digital readout [TS]

01:51:57   that so much worse I can't even find the fan speed buttons absent minded level of [TS]

01:52:01   adjusted EPS of mine is just not it's just not a gesture like find the up [TS]

01:52:06   button hit three times to go up three degrees or fan speed up to the one of [TS]

01:52:11   the eight positions like tiles tiles and can't take it I mean I was gonna say is [TS]
