OpenAI Puts Apple Hardware Front & Center

Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcomeback to Taylor's in Tank Live on YouTube.
It's been Yeah, it's been aweek since we had our big four
hour long IPT event coverage. Andapparently this week is all about AI because
Open Ai had a big event yesterday. Google had io today, which was
primarily about AI. All kinds ofacronyms that no one knows us stacking up

(00:26):
today. But I gotta admit Istruggled to finish Google Io because man,
I mean, I'm sure they've gotsome models that they're proud of, but
they do not know how to market. And you realize how nice Apple events
are when you watch a Google one, it is just it's so stale and

(00:48):
it's so dry. And that wasn'teven the developer focused event that was supposed
to be the everyday consumer one.Too many phrases, too many names to
keep track of. We had GoogleVeyo, which is like their version of
Sora. We had Gemini one pointfive Pro and Gemini Agents and oh my

(01:11):
god, it's a mess. Myhead honestly hurts, and I'm not feeling
great. I didn't sleep well lastnight. But all of this, to
be said, I wanted to talka little bit about Apple's involvement, because
obviously Apple's big event hasn't happened yetand a lot of people are wondering what's
going to come of it. Havingwatching Having watched both the open ai announcements

(01:32):
and Google Io's announcements, personally,I thought open ais was far more captivating,
far more interesting. Not exactly sureif it was the way it was
presented, but feel free to disagreewith me in the chat. Hey everybody,
Yeah, tyches Crip user says Googleio was less interesting this time and
it's already not that interesting, butyeah, Google marketing team really needed to

(01:56):
come up with some way to spicethings up a little bit. Disagree with
me if you want, though,I thought the open ai announcements were just
a lot more down to earth.They were a lot more realistic slash relatable,
and they really, in my opinion, showcased with a lot of different
examples, and you can go onopen AI's YouTube channel if you want to

(02:17):
see of how this new natural integrationof a voice assistant that is also capable
of seeing you or seeing the worldand hearing you, and it just it
finally feels like we're moving in inthe right direction with digital assistance. I
mean, they probably don't like callingit that. They would rather call it

(02:38):
a large language model and a largeaction model that kind of thing. But
ultimately this is this is what II think it really amounts to at the
end of the day. Is itjust it's a smarter, you know,
assistant, a digital assistant. Andone of my biggest problems with digital assistants

(02:58):
over the years has always been theunnatural communication that I have to give it
in order to have it understand me. And it's the closest thing I could
think of is using digital assistance forthe past ten years has mainly felt like
using a walkie talkie, where it'sa very intentional like I'm talking now,

(03:20):
now you talk, now I talk, and now you and you have to
wait your turn, and if there'sother sounds going on that can confuse it,
so you have to make sure nobodyelse is talking. Yeah, I
agree with young men. Open Aiwas much more practical and better presented.
They showcased like more real world examples, where Google Io was just mainly a
lot of chat and not even fancyanimations, but just a lot of talk

(03:46):
about algorithms, and they tried toshow it relatable or what does this actually
look like? But I didn't thinkit was presented very well, Like what's
it called Gemini Flash, the localGemini that runs off people's phones. There
was one where it was like,now, using search, I can show
the turntable, why is the turntablenot working? And then just a giant

(04:11):
wall of text appears on the smartphonedisplay and it's like see now search can
tell you exactly what the answer is, and it's like yeah, but not
very conveniently. It's just like abunch of web results and a step by
step there's just a huge wall oftext. The second tried to answer the
question and I was like, okay, if AI is supposed to make things

(04:33):
simpler, I don't think this ishelping. But I guess there's only so
much they can run natively, andopen ai was more about like, hey,
chat to BT, like what's goingon with you? And it would
respond in a very human like manner. In The impressive part to me was
when you started responding to it,it would stop talking and listen to you

(04:58):
and take into context everything you said. So even some of the videos open
ai loaded up, there's some bugsand some flaws. I don't expect it
to work perfectly, of course,because it's AI. It never actually reaches
the point of perfection. But whatI remember being impressed by was he said,
we're gonna see what chat GPT canactually see and if she can describe

(05:19):
it. So as we all predicted, these other bigger AI companies can make
software on an app on an iPhoneor really any phone that can do pretty
much everything the Humane Pin or theRabbit r one could do. It's als
just software at the end of theday, and it doesn't hurt to have

(05:40):
vastly superior hardware like a much bettercamera, much better microphone, and a
longer battery life. It's basically justall of the big issues with the Rabbit
are one fixed because it's an applike we all wanted it to be.
But what I remember finding impressive aboutthe Open AI demo was that he points
He's like, I want you tolook at my face and tell you what

(06:00):
emotion I'm having and it messes up, which was interesting because he points it
at himself and it goes, hmm, I think I'm looking at like a
wooden table, which was actually animage he sent to Chat GPT right before
that demo, and then he said, no, no, no, wait,
that's the last picture I sent you. I'm talking about what's on the

(06:25):
camera feed right now. And ashe said that, you know, the
second he starts talking, chat GPTshuts up and he's like, oh,
I guess that's not right, andthen he says, no, look at
the actual camera feed right now,and then it goes, oh, sorry,
that makes sense. Yes, Ican see you're you're experiencing some kind
of joy. You seem happy,you're smiling. And even though see now

(06:49):
my phone's messing up, even thoughit made the mistake of not understanding the
context that no, don't look atthe last photo I sent, look at
a live view of the front facingcamera. Now, The fact that he
was able to fix it so quicklywithout having to do a Google stop.
Okay, let's start again, let'srebegin this thing. The fact that he

(07:13):
was able to just cut it offand the machine was also able to acknowledge
faults. The chat GBT was ableto say, oh, my bad.
I was confused for a second there, but now we're good. And it's
just even though it has its flawsand I don't personally think AI ever really
gets to the point of flawless.There's always these edge cases that we run
into. The last five percent isusually ninety percent of the work. Just

(07:39):
that real time back and forth interactionmade it feel so much more natural to
me. And that's something that Ithink Apple will probably want to integrate natively
and locally as much as possible,because Apple probably wants to make sure that
their software advantages are not accessible onadditional hardware out there, and they're probably

(08:01):
gonna boast about their neural cores theyalready have with the MacBooks and iPads and
stuff. This neural engine is madefor AI. So my guess is they
want to integrate a lot of theseGPT features because there has been talk from
Mark German saying that open ai andApple are looking at partnering in some way

(08:22):
or integrating chat GPT natively, andthat was another interesting announcement from open ai
is that they are releasing a dedicatedapp for mac os. And the crazy
thing about that is the mac isgetting a chat GPT app before Microsoft,

(08:43):
who is one of the biggest investorsin open ai, and they're they're reasoning
behind it as well, We're justwe're just going to where our users are,
which I don't know if that's thetruth. Like, are genuinely more
Mac users using chat GPT than PCus. I find that hard to believe
considering how many more PC users thereare, But I wouldn't be shocked if

(09:07):
it has something to do with theneural cores baked into Apple Silicon and open
Ai. Thinking, well, Iknow a lot of chat GBT is Internet
based right now, but I wouldn'tbe shocked if at dubduw we find out
more about more large language models orpotentially more large action models that can be
run natively without the need of anInternet connection or without requiring too much on

(09:30):
high band with Do you think Applewould just buy out open ai. I'm
not sure if they can because ofMicrosoft's investment, but I'm sure they're thinking
about it. I'm sure they're talkingabout it. Let's see. I'm curious
to how Apple will implement AI withoutangering their own creative consumer base like what
they did with their IPD pro ad. Yeah. I agree, there's definitely

(09:52):
a lot of generative AI features thatkind of feel like a threat to a
lot of the artist industry. Googleseemed to be trying to integrate the two.
I was a little confused by that. They were like, we're working
with Donald Glover to make more youknow, Google Veyo is what they called
it, which is their version ofSora. It's like text to video features.

(10:15):
Now this will help filmmakers make moremovies. And I was like,
what movies like the movies where noone talks and there's hardly a main character
because it changes so much depending onthe text prompt. That's usually my big
issue with AI text to videos.It's it's really good looking and convincing for

(10:35):
a few seconds, but it's notvery consistent and I struggle to see how
someone could actually create even a shortfilm out of it. But when is
chat gpt app being released? Letme pull up the article here. I
believe it answers it for you,but I believe the answer is for people
who are subscribing to it. Theapp will be rolling out to chat GPT

(10:56):
plus subscribers starting today and this wasyesterday, so I believe if you're a
subscriber to Chat GPT plus, youcan already get it for the Mac and
then a wider launch in the comingweeks. So there should be a variant
that is free a little bit later, and then with the simple keyboard shortcut
option and space which right now,command in space does spotlight, option in

(11:22):
space does nothing. You can instantlyask GPT a question. Open ie AI
Press release says voice mode. Thisis weird. The voice mode will allow
you to have voice conversations with chatstop. I don't need to see that.
And then they plan to release aWindows version of the app later this
year. Can you imagine Microsoft beingthe majority investor in open Ai and then

(11:46):
them saying, yeah, well we'lladd it to your stuff later. We're
gonna give it to the Mac first. And also all of the demos were
on an iPhone and they even hada student doing a They had chet GBT
kind of act like a tutor,which was really interesting because the dad that's
with his son there using chat GBTto help do his math homework or whatever

(12:11):
basically explains the parameters, like,my son is struggling to figure this out.
Don't tell him the answer, buthelp walk him through how to find
the answer. I'm sure most ofthe people using chat tobt for productivity are
on a Mac. Yeah, it'sjust funny to me that the Mac gets

(12:31):
it first and there again, Bloombergis reporting that there's Apple and open Ai
are collaborating and maybe the Google geminidealdidn't quite go through. Programmers use max
Linux more than Windows, which makesme think they're aiming for the developer market.
Yeah, that's probably true. Ithink you're right. The thing is

(12:52):
the dude, a open Ai demowas just switching the camera from Maine to
front and chet TBT takes screenshots withsome interval. Yeah. That the fact
that it messed up doesn't shock me, especially because it was like a live
demo. This wasn't a pre recordedevent. They were kind of doing everything
in real time. What impressed mewas how easy he was able to fix
it, the speed at which hewas able to say, like, oh,

(13:13):
no, you're thinking of the lastthing I sent you. Look at
the front camera, like look atwhat I'm showing now, And its reaction
was, oh, that makes moresense, And I was like, WHOA
still rocking? iPad air two issixteen and got see c us only I
don't think I see the download button. Yeah, I believe it is for

(13:35):
now. Yes, I did avideo you can go watch over Antelos of
life about how I lost weight.But yes, I did lose weight.
I don't think macoes should be onan iPad or iPad pro. That's fine,
you're wrong, but you can thinkthat is it because the copilot is
built into Windows. Although we dosee this dynamic sometimes, I think that

(13:56):
Apple Watch had a YouTube music applong before where it was. That is
funny how sometimes they prioritize Apple overeverybody else. It was impressive for sure.
I just feel like we're finally seeingdigital assistance feel more natural than human
which I always thought was my biggestissue with them. It's like it's taken

(14:18):
far too long to get to apoint where we can have a natural conversation
with a computer the same way wetalked to a human, and I thought
this is what it should have been, you know, years ago, But
it feels like we're finally catching upto it. Matchine, if chat GBT
for MacApp would edit your videos,I would love that. I still think
that. Again, I haven't seenany demos proving that that's really going to

(14:41):
be a thing, But even ifit was, I predict that it would
probably do a lot of it reallywell. But I would still have to
supervise it and still have to intervenehere and there and be like, oh
wait, hold on, you didn'tquite get that, you didn't quite grasp
this or whatever. I don't know. Was I the only one not impressed
by the Gmail AI stuff, becauseI feel like we've had like summary features

(15:07):
for so long. The new series, the AIS system Open Ai showed up.
I'm extremely excited, especially because Siriwould be able to also control parts
of the iPhone. That's what alot of the large action model documents and
papers Apple's been publishing have already talkedabout of like not just talking to it,
but telling it exactly what to doon your phone, and then it

(15:30):
knows how to like open the appand launch things or change things. I
was impressed by. I don't knowif impresses right. A handy feature with
Google Io was like, say youjust moved to Chicago, and I was
like, okay, yeah, Imean not a very common use case,
but if you did move to Chicago, you could have Gemini like go in

(15:52):
and change all of your you know, shipping and mailing addresses across all of
your accounts, all right, That'skind of handy instead of having to go
into your account on each app andeach website and change it manually, all
right. But once again, it'sone of those generative AI features, so
it can make mistakes, or itcan make references that you don't completely trust,

(16:14):
and so it's one of those thingsthat you'd probably have to double check
on anyway before you completely feel convincedin it. Let's see, it kind
of makes sense for developers to prioritizeApple platforms. Apple users spend more money
on average compared to Android PC users. Yeah, that's true. I'm just
saying it's funnier knowing that Microsoft islike the biggest investor, That's all I'm

(16:37):
saying. It's kind of ironic afterthe huge fumble with Gemini and its inaccurate
image search results. I hope Applewill just go with open Ai. They're
probably weighing out both, I imagine, but at this point, especially with
the way open ai was demoing Applehardware across the board. All of their
phone demos were using iPhones, theirAI tutored was using the iPad, and

(17:00):
then they launched the MacApp and said, ah, Windows will come later,
it's not important. And the talkfrom Bloomberg about Apple's partnership with open ai,
when AI can pay my bills.I'll be happy. No, AI
will become a new bill for you, right. I don't know what's causing
it to do that. And Iwatched and A right after Google. Such

(17:23):
a contrast, so relast, sorelaxed. Hosts are just sitting there and
asking chappe tee questions and Scarlett Giants'voice immediately speaks back crazy. Yeah,
they definitely got the impressive factor down. In my opinion, Google io does
not know how to wow a crowd, or at least they didn't today.
I've seen things in the past thateverybody flipped out about, but then,

(17:47):
like most things with Google, itnever really goes anywhere. What was it
called? I think it was GoogleDuplex? Was it Duplex? What was
that thing? It was years agonow I want to say it was five
years ago. But Google would likemake a phone call on your behalf so
you could like book an appointment usingthe Google Assistant, and people were like,
wow, this is amazing, andthen it just a couple people used

(18:10):
it, but a lot of placeswere against it, and a lot of
places didn't allow it or thought itwas creepy. And then how often does
anybody use that feature? I meanthe call screening stuff is cool, or
you know, using the on devicemodel to detect a scam call. I
could see that being helpful and useful, although I would hope that you could
get the scam call warning before thecall even comes, instead of you know,

(18:32):
analyzing the entire phone call and saying, hey, he just sent something
that's scamming. Which makes me wonderif you had that phone call with just
one of your friends and then theysaid something like the bank wants you to
move your money to this account forsafety, would it also say there's spam
call, even if it's a friendyou've had in your contact for a while.

(18:56):
We podcast listeners need the mixing tobe louder. I have to turn
it up, so Hi, II've tried over the years, I mix
it up back and forth. Iknow. I I'll try my best.
I do apologize. I'm not thebest audio mixer. I'll try to be
better. But I've had a lotof people complain that it's too loud in

(19:18):
the past. So I dialed itback, and I guess I probably dialed
it back too much because I've alwaysfelt like, well, quieter is probably
better than louder. But then,yeah, the ads are much much higher.
I know it's frustrating. Hey,if you have YouTube Premium and you
watch the podcast on YouTube, there'sno ads. That's all I'm saying.
That's all I'm saying. You doyou But we do have a way to

(19:42):
watch the podcast that we still canmonetize and there's no ads. But uh,
let's see it was Google Duplex.Okay. Imagine Microsoft isn't too happy
with open AI leaning towards Apple.Yeah, they'll probably get a stern talking
too, but I'm sure they stillcan access a lot of AI open aies

(20:07):
software. Should I just turn itoff? Continuity Camera is just not feeling
it today if it could only paymy bill. It is kind of it
is kind of creepy how similar thevoice Assistant is to the movie Her.
It almost feels intentional. It's oneof those things where similar to like Boston

(20:30):
Dynamics, they're like, we needto reveal our new humanoid robot to the
world, and they just make itdo the creepiest freaking like you know,
legs bending backwards motion ever, andit's like, Wow, you really didn't
try hard at all to make thiscreepy. And I get that they want
the assistant to be human and naturaland stuff. But especially when it starts

(20:52):
laughing or they're saying at the announcementlike well, actually, right now we're
announcing some new chat GPT features,so we're talking about you. And when
they talk about it, how itreacts to that, how it gets like
embarrassed. Yeah, I'm sorry,I'm turning this off. It's just continuity
cameras not working today. We gotto use the webcam. It just works.

(21:17):
Dang it, iPhone, what's wrongwith you? Anyway? Let's see
premium is great. I listen onApple podcast. Isn't that better for revenue?
Don't worry about it. We getpaid from YouTube premium. I don't
know how it compares to Apple podcasts, but if there's less ads and we're
getting paid for it, then I'min favor of that. But when it

(21:42):
starts getting like self aware, whenit starts saying like, oh me,
we're talking about me, It's like, Okay, this is getting this is
getting a little weird. It's gettingkind of dystopian. I need AI to
help me out files into folders andzip files or unzip files. Yeah,

(22:03):
I guess I could see, especiallyfor people who have disabilities. I could
see this being particularly useful, youknow, describing things to people who can't
see as well, or people whocan't control their computer because they don't have
you know, full control over theirhands, or maybe they don't have hands.
Being able to do more and morestuff with voices of course awesome.

(22:26):
The one demo where the guy putsa head on and asks how it looks
blew me away. It was genuinelyinsane how human it was. Yeah,
and I'm sure they're still demoing abunch of stuff that makes it look good.
I'm sure there will be a bunchof edge cases we discover when it's
out in the public and everybody's usingit. I'm just gonna pick. So
I'm sure that there's a certain amountof marketing and good looks they're wanting for.

(22:51):
But as someone who's been fairly doubtfulslash skeptical on AI, this is
the first time in a good longwhile that I can genuinely say, Okay,
I'm kind of impressed. I'm notlike this is going to take over
the world. And I also thinkthat this is the best implementation of large
language models. I've always felt like, you know, a chat bot can

(23:14):
only do so much, and Ithink it's particularly useful for people in education
or especially people doing coding. It'shelpful to be able to like kind of
throw your code in there and saywhat can I do to help with this
or how can I fix this?And I was like, I think the
best use case for a lot ofthese large language models is going to basically
just be make far smarter, farmore natural digital assistance for our existing hardware.

(23:40):
I still personally don't believe that anyof the stuff they've demoed is like,
well, once we put all thatin a aipin, we won't need
a phone anymore. I'm like,no, that phones are handy, phones
are affordable, they're cheap, andthey're practical, and they're addictive anyway.
So even if you want to tryto replace it with some other form factor,

(24:02):
it's probably not going to take offbecause any form factor you come up
with isn't gonna be as addictive.Oh yeah, GBT four to is mostly
available already the model itself, butnot the voice chat feature, right,
that's gonna take some more time.But seeing it as it's meant to be

(24:22):
used as an app, as asoftware feature, I think is giving me
like, Okay, see, thisis how this technology should be utilized,
right, That's basically how I'm reactingto it instead of this seems like a
lot of a lot of hype.Same thing with the text of video.
I feel that way about Google VEYOnow is just like this is gonna be

(24:44):
one of those really impressive things thatjust doesn't really go that far. You
know. It's kind of like Google. I mean, so many Google examples
of things that didn't go anywhere.Hey, Chris Norton, thank you very
much for your super chats. He'sby far the most generous donor on the
channel, So feel free to justtype in the chat. You don't have
to super chat. I'll try toread your message. It should be pretty
easy to see you. But seriously, you've been far too generous, so

(25:07):
I don't want you to donate anymorebecause you're far too kind. Do you
see iPhone fifteen series as one ofthose phones that would age gracefully because it's
USBC, Yeah, I think Idid videos on that in the past.
I think personally, I think USBCwill last longer than lightning, so I
think it could easily be a multidecade long port for smartphones, and now

(25:30):
that the iPhone fifteens have them,and they've got three nanimeter architectures and all
this great stuff. Yeah, Ithink it will probably age better and more
graceful than any other iPhone. Butit depends on your definition of aging,
because I'm positive, I'm very sureApple will probably software lock a lot of
AI features or generative AI features toonewer hardware and say, oh, you

(25:52):
can't do this on the older silicon. You need the new phone to do
that. So if you consider that, oh, it's aging poorly, then
yeah, it's kind of up toApple. Going to dub dub as a
Swift Student Challenge winner this year,wonder what AI Apple would come up with.
You know, congratulations. I hopeyou enjoy it. I hope you
meet some friends or have a goodtime and it's a memorable experience for you.

(26:15):
Congrats. Technology has been trending forthe devices to do more and more
replacing older devices. Slash tools,aipins are literally the opposite of that trend,
So why people think it'll succeed.I agree. I don't personally understand
how these companies got as far asthey did. I I have always felt

(26:36):
as soon as I saw them.I remember before they even unveiled the aipin
there were people saying, Oh,there's these former Apple employees that are working
on this next generation thing that's supposedto replace the smartphone, and all these
people worked on the iPhone, andI was like, but what could it
be? Like, what could possiblybe that disruptive? The smartphone is kind

(26:56):
of an invention of the century.I don't think it's the type of thing
that gets replace like that. It'sjust it's two dang practical, and it's
two dang functional at so many thingsall at once. And they were teasing
about this projector thing before they evenunveiled the pin. They were showing like,
look, it can put the timeon your hand, and I was
like, that's not that's not gonnabe a smartphone replacement. If your whole

(27:18):
selling point with the hardware is thatit helps you use it less, that's
not gonna take up anyway. Ithink iPads that have won two terabytes or
two will have mac os. Who'sto say, probably not, But I'm
gonna keep It's not gonna stop mefor asking for it. I still think

(27:40):
it's a good idea, and inthe past I've asked for things over and
over again that Apple eventually added,so I don't see any reason to stop
asking for it. You know,Drew is learning to code swift worth it
because I want to be a developerif had the new iPads enough No answer
both questions. Now, I don'tknow. I'm not a software engineer,

(28:03):
as you can tell, I don'tknow what I'm talking about most of the
time, in fact, But youshould talk to chat TPT maybe they'll tell
you if it's worth it. Butyeah, I don't know. There's all
I can tell you in general asfar as like pursuing jobs and careers.
From what I've learned from lots ofmy friends in the workforce that have gotten

(28:25):
jobs in places they didn't expect orhad a hard time finding jobs and areas
they thought they would get hired,there's no guarantees, so I encourage whatever
you do, whatever industry you goafter, try to be versatile. Try
not to make your talents or youreducation too highly specialized, you know,
try to try to dwell more onmore broad you know, be a problem

(28:52):
solver for lots of different things insteadof just if you don't know how to
do something, try your best tolook up. How can I find the
answer or how can I teach myself? Is this something I'm capable of doing?
Or is this something I need helpwith? Thank you for the thirty
three months of support Alpha. TheAI trend is so boring. I'm with
you, I'm with you, I'mright there with you. I'm just it's

(29:15):
the latest thing. It's very easy. It's ten times easier to say what
people shouldn't make videos on. Incase you missed it, most people don't
watch every video that's ever uploaded,right, We just on a daily basis.
Most of us probably watch only onepercent or less than one percent of
what's actually posted to YouTube. Veryeasy to come up with things that we

(29:38):
shouldn't talk about, very hard tothink of topics and subjects that we should
talk more about. I did threeiPad videos in a row, diving into
the whole iPad thing. I'm kindof I think I've said everything that I
feel about the new iPads. We'vehad two AI events in a row this
week, so I was like,yeah, I haven't done a livestream in
a while, and usually whenever Ido a livestream, people ask AI questions.

(30:02):
So it's not the most exciting informationin my opinion. But I'm I'm
a tech channel covering what's going onin tech. So if you're gonna learn
Swift, then you can do that, just find on the cheapest iPad.
But if you're gonna spend one thousanddollars on a Swift machine, get a
Mac. Bokay, I thank you. Burkhart said exactly what I was thinking,

(30:22):
Like, Yeah, Swift playgrounds,technically, I don't know. I
just think if you're going to learnto code, isn't it better to just
learn it on a machine that canactually publish apps. Yeah, if if
you really just want to learn thebasics, then absolutely you could do it
with a two hundred dollars iPad.You could probably learn Swift playgrounds. But

(30:45):
yeah, I would not recommend spendingone thousand dollars on an iPad pro to
learn how to code. With thatkind of money, you could buy a
Mac for Actually, for much lessmoney, you could buy a Mac and
have access to full unlocked X codeand learn how coding probably really works instead
of I'm just so sick of theiPads being treated as a children's thing.

(31:08):
Even open aiyes doing it right,They only bring out the iPad. When
it's a kid doing homework. Oh, homework, bring out the iPad.
It's for children. It's like,yeah, it's for children, but then
you sell like a two thousand dollarsiPad. Come on, it's a little
ridiculous. There's swift playgrounds for Mactoo. That's true. If you plan

(31:29):
on actually using a keyboard, geta Mac. I feel like if you
don't plan on using an Apple pencil, I wouldn't get an iPad. I
think the Apple pencil features are prettymuch the main reason to get an iPad.
I don't see there being much motivationoutside of that. Is like I
draw or I do no taking.If you don't do either of those things.

(31:51):
As a media consumption machine, it'spretty good. But it's just I'm
sorry. I know people try toact like o Lead and Minnie Led are
these giant night and day differences.But I gotta tell you, like in
the real world, you just youhit play. Okay, maybe the black
bars are a little grayer on anLCD, but it's really it doesn't change

(32:14):
that much. It's not worth spendingfour hundred dollars just to have the little
black bar be a little darker,you know. Come on, let's get
real. I already have an Mone thirteen inch Macpropro, so I think
that's more than Oh yeah, you'refine, dude, that's plenty. Uh
de Mitha Fernando, thank you fortwenty months of support. You guys are

(32:35):
awfully generous. I have the mostgenerous fan base in the world, So
thank you, thank you, thankyou. I did not buy any new
iPads. No, I'll probably goto an Apple store at some point and
play around with it for a while. But I I think I'm reaching the
point where I might stop buying thingsthat I don't intend on keeping. I
don't know, is that is thatbad? You know a lot of people

(32:58):
don't like that he's going to returnit thing, which I don't think is
that bad. But it does reduceit does increase the amount of waste,
and there's more shipping, and yougot to print out labels and return thement
stuff. And they have it ondisplay at the Apple store anyway, and
I can try out all the newfeatures and then I've just I've done that,

(33:20):
make a whole video on the iPad. I've done that so many times
now, guys, I don't knowif I really want to do that all
over again. I know that youcan do it, it's just much slower
and it takes much longer and it'smore expensive. Yeah, YouTube can teach
you how to code. I know. The lack of spotlight on Ipatawest during
the small keynote speaks tells me thatdubu will have some nice surprises for this

(33:45):
platform. Yeah. I think Apple'susually the company very good at taking a
new technology that's kind of well knownin the nerdier communities. It's more well
known in the tech communit, butApple finds a way to make it mainstream,
Like you know, AI just gotreal that kind of thing. And

(34:07):
that's why I think most people areinterested in dub dub Like how exactly is
Apple going to translate all of thesenew technologies into a mainstream market so that
it's not just for developer use,it's not just for the techies, it's
not just for the nerds. Butlike everyday people are now going to start
using large language models. Let's see, I really hate iPad. I don't

(34:31):
hate them, I just I don'tthink they're for me, and I highly
advise against spending lots of money onthem, even though it does sound like
a get off my mind line.It's unbelievably expensive, not for the components,
but what for what you can useit. It's a lot of money
for well, it's a little biggerthan my phone. It's like most of

(34:52):
you are probably using big old iPhonesnow right, most of you are on
those pluses and maxes, and youcan and watch whatever you're got to watch.
And a laptop can be just asgood of a media player, arguably
better because of the better battery lifeand the better speakers. I watch a
lot of content on my macwik Pro, honestly, and it's wonderful. The

(35:15):
one thing I wish macOS had thatiPad os does have is how easy it
is to share audio between two setsof headphones. Whenever my wife and I
would travel and fly, we'd wantto put in both of our air pods,
and the iPad made it really easyto just share the audio between two
pairs of headphones. The Mac isvery complicated. You have to go into

(35:37):
Audio MIDI settings and hit a multioutput device and select both of them,
and then you can't change the volumeof the AirPods, whereas on the iPad
you can just go into control centerand adjust the two. That's the one
thing, and they could totally addit to macOS, they just haven't yet.
Who do you think will be thenew CEO and who do you want
it to be? The latest rumoris John Turnus, which I very happy

(36:00):
to hear about because that's actually thatwas who I recommended. I think Burkhart
was recommending him for a while.But basically he's one of the youngest Apple
executives. He's the senior vice presidentof Hardware at Apple, and I think
the hardware team has just been amazing. Most of our complaints with Apple usually

(36:22):
come down to software, but JohnTurnis was kind of the guy who transitioned
the Mac to Apple Silicon and broughtback the legacy ports and brought back the
magic keyboard, got rid of thetouch bar. So he's got an experience
when it comes to listening to customerfeedback and giving the people what they want.

(36:44):
So Tim Cook is getting up therein age. I don't think he
necessarily will retire this year or nextyear. Who knows what he's thinking,
but still he's getting he's getting older, and I think John Turnas has done
a fantastic job with the hardware atApple and he's been had a lot of
Apple events already, so I wouldbe I would be very happy if he

(37:04):
took over. The only reason youwould need to buy an M four iPad
to review would be if dub dubintroduces macowist features, and that's a big
if. Yeah, it'll be adifferent story if they come out with a
bunch of new stuff with iPad osthat's really interesting that I could do videos
on. But as of right now, it's just new hardware. Nothing about
the software really changed, which meansI would come to the exact same conclusion

(37:28):
I came to on my last iPadreview. Let's see macOS feature we'd feature
request easier multi output audio without mediaapp. Yeah, to just be in
control center, you know, justlike the sound. You should be able
to drop it down and select multiplepairs of headphones. It's just like how
it works on our iPhones and ourour iPads. It would be fairly simple.

(37:52):
Just thought. A thirteen inch proma landscape designer, and the new
pencil and chip are great for whatI do. Honestly, the non O
led light bleed is terrible, andI'm excited about that. Well, at
least it sounds like you know whyyou need it, which I'm okay with
at the end of the day.I'm not trying to say that like I'm
mad at anybody who buys the newiPad. My point is that I want
to make sure anybody who's considering buyinga new iPad knows exactly exactly why they're

(38:16):
getting it. That's my ultimate goalwith those don't buy new iPads videos.
It's like, if you disagree withme, it's because you have to have
a legitimately good reason, and thatone like Montana Baldwin is saying landscape designer.
So it's probably using a pencil anda stylist a lot, and he
likes having that touch interface because it'sprobably not as easy to do landscape design

(38:37):
on a keyboard and mouse. Heknows what he wants, he knows what
he needs, so it prevents thepeople from just saying, oh, I
don't I mainly use it as aNetflix machine, but it looks shiny and
cool, so let's go out andbuy one. And there's so much of
the tech community that kind of perpetuatesthis whole like new thing good, Let's

(39:00):
go out buy new thing, buythe latest thing, and it's just it's
not good for buying behavior. Honestly, it's not good for the environment if
you want to talk sustainability like Appledoes all the time. So if we
don't intentionally kind of push against thatnarrative, then I think a lot of
people are gonna spend tons of moneyon stuff they don't need. Has anyone

(39:23):
tried bending the iPad pro Oh,I'm sure they will. I haven't seen
one yet, but I'm sure we'llsee it everywhere. Yeah, it took
a long time. There was somany rumors about the old on iPad.
It was for years and years andyears, and we're still waiting for the
OLED on the Mac. But I'msure it's coming. It might even be
a dual stack, just like theiPad. Wow, holy crap, that's

(39:45):
an unnecessary super chat from DEBITHA thatsays, should I drop a twenty five
hundred dollars I assume on an Mfour iPad setup so I can show everyone
that I'm better than them. Thisis a great question. I'm so glad
you super chatted that. Oh thatwas worth it. Yes, for superiority.

(40:07):
Obviously, I spent more money onmy Mac than you did, so
I'm a better human being that's howthat works, right, I think we're
all on the same page there.Even Apple TV has multi airpollt does it
really? I've never tried that.Maybe it's because I, you know,
live with my wife and pretty muchno one else, so that that keeps

(40:29):
it simple. My only Oh,Marnell, thirty three months of support?
Seriously, how did I get sucha lucky job? You guys are so
generous? Thirty three months of support? What did I think of the iPad
pro ad? Thought it was fine, an outrage was overblown over the criticisms
of it warranted. I think it'sa little hypocritical with the way Apple presents

(40:51):
themselves as a you know, theamount of stretches Apple will do to reduce
waste and to be sustainable and repurposethings to then turn around and do a
reveal ad where they had to goout and find a bunch of cool stuff
to destroy it. Yeah, it'sit's a little hypocritical. If they were

(41:15):
not such an environmentally focused brand,I could understand why people would say,
ah, you're overreacting, But Applelike removed stickers from the box to help
reach their carbon neutral goals, andyou know, the leather is bad for
accessories. So we're switching to finewoven and you know all these weird little

(41:36):
like it's got to help the environmentmoves. It's not a great look to
then turn around and it's like,oh, we took all of these ads
and I mean not ads, Wetook all of these items and tools and
artistry things and just destroyed them foran unveil video. I think even if
you weren't offended by it, it'sstill a bad unveil. Like it didn't
like personally offend me, but thefact that it upset a lot of people

(42:00):
is a sign that, yeah,he probably didn't do that well because Apple's
not trying to be controversial or divisive, which is why they apologized for it.
And I would say the outrage wasfair. It's just a little hypocritical

(42:20):
for a company that makes those littlecost cutting measures to say, oh,
this helps with the environment, andthen it's like you could have unveiled it
probably without ticking off a bunch ofpeople. Anyway, Thank you for thirty
three months of support. Though Loomifusionon iPad pros have changed the game for
me. It's seriously pro and procreate. I've used them both I've used

(42:43):
both those apps. Hasn't made mewant to switch from my Mac, though,
a Mac is still substantially faster,and it's not because of the silicon.
Has nothing to do with the heatsink. It has nothing to do
with the cooling. It's purely asoftware difference because lumafusion has to be touched
optimized for and there's only so muchthey can put within the confines of ipens.

(43:07):
You can ask for the stickers atan Apple store. Brother, I'll
get an M two Air for me. It will be less than budget iPad
faster USBC is worth it for me. I just don't understand why you would
get an M two Air over arefurbished M one iPad Pro unless you really

(43:29):
really want that hover feature. Youcan get double the refresh rate, double
the storage face ID instead of touchID faster. You can get a Thunderbolt
port if you really care about afaster USBC port. The M one iPad
pros faster than the new M twoAir, and if you go at the
twelve point nine inch variant, it'smini led all that for about the same
I don't know they will bring backMother Nature. Yeah, if you're gonna

(43:53):
do a skit about mother Nature.Then it's kind of weird to destroy a
bunch of things. I got thepoint Apple was trying to make, but
they didn't have to illustrate it ina destructive manner. Yeah I would.
I would have done the exact samead, but just in a cartoon filter.
Just animate the whole thing and youcan show all of the Or it
could be CGI. It could allbe Blender three D models and you had

(44:15):
to render it on a m forUltra MacPro. But it's it's all animated
instead of Actually, I think ifit was all CGI, people wouldn't have
been upset. Apple doesn't actually careabout the environment. It's just that it
makes them look good. That maybe so, But if that's the case,
then the the iPad reveal is stillhypocritical. Like if you're gonna,

(44:42):
if you're gonna present yourself as asustainable focused brand, even if you don't
actually care, then you should atleast be consistent with it. That was
just like backwards unnecessary waste for speakerson the pro instead of two on the
air. That's true. That's true. Forcing artists specifically to buy the new
iPad pros just for the pencil prosvery weird. Hover is essential for some

(45:06):
artists in the new barrel role.I guess, I just I really hope
you're an artist that genuinely can utilizethose features, because I'm kind of like,
well, if that's really really important, we've never had it on an
iPad before, So what were yougetting by with this whole time? But
I'm having trouble with my printer today? What kind of printer do you?

(45:28):
I don't own a printer. ActuallyI probably should, but it's rare enough
that I need to print something thatI just don't own one. But I
kind of hate all printers, tobe honest with you. But the barrel
roll feature is cool. I justI feel like if you care about those
tiny details and like how you're writingand how you're painting, that you needed
to land at a certain angle,and you're probably going to care about having

(45:53):
a higher refresh rate too. Ifyou care about little details like hover and
the orientation of the pen before ittouches the display, you're probably gonna notice
that you're drawing on a sixty hertzdisplay. If you, I don't know,
maybe I'm wrong, Correct me ifI'm wrong. Artists out there,
But does it does? Sixty hurtsnot matter for a lot of you.

(46:15):
I would have thought if your goalis for the pencil to feel as true
to life as a paint brush aspossible, then you would want a frame
rate that's actually pretty responsive and closerto real life. What if the ad
was actually AI Well, they couldhave said that, and they instead apologize

(46:36):
bring back those leather cases. Sorry, everybody's texting me when I go live.
Uh, hover is essential, butthe new features are just a nice
to have rather than essential. Iguess it depends. Like the new ipet
pros marketed towards those who already havea high end way calm tablet or something.

(46:57):
Probably, I do think there's likelya lot of people out there that
just do not care, like they'vegot the money. It's like whatever,
I know, it's an iPad thatcan't do a bunch of Mac like features
despite having the silicon that could doall those back features. I just I've
got what did James phrase it as, James sanderlaw James Sanders cedar lof I

(47:21):
believe said and our members only streamyesterday they've got more dollars than cents.
You know, they've got lots ofmoney, and they're just like, Eh,
if I'm gonna buy an iPad,I might as well. Plus with
the pros. At least, thisis the first time they've brought an XDR
panel to the smaller size. Somy guess is the eleven inch iPad Pro
is going to be the more popularvariant because now the specs between the eleven

(47:45):
inch and thirteen inch pros are basicallyidentical. The thirteen inch just has a
slightly bigger screen and it costs anextra three hundred dollars for an extra two
inches of display, and your keyboardcase now costs an extra fifty bucks too,
so it really stacks up. Whatbig brand would you like to see
Apple buy? Mine is either LGso they can do Apple fridges and TVs,

(48:07):
or Sony so you can have iOSon PlayStation. Oh yeah, the
federal government would love that one.All the antitrust cases. I you know
me, I'm kind of the EVguy. I would love to see Apple
acquire an electric vehicle company. There'stalk that who was it from Reuters or

(48:28):
no, it was DigiTimes. Ithink who doesn't have the best track record,
but they have gotten certain things right. They said Apple was talking about
partnering with Rivian. Maybe you don'tconsider Rivian to be a big company,
But I just think the EV industryis so much more interesting than I was
fussing around about iPads and tablets andI don't know. I just think the
electric vehicle space is actually a lotmore innovative, and there's a lot more

(48:52):
change going on, and it's changingthe way our roads work, and there's
a lot more safety and environmental argumentsto be made in that industry than there
is the you know, the stickers. How many emissions do those stickers cause?
So I'd like to see Apple enterthe EV space in some way.
I don't care really how. Itcould be Lucid, it could be Rivia,
and it could be up to Idon't care. If they just got

(49:15):
involved in some way, I wouldbe excited. No, I didn't see
the Dave two D video. Iprobably should huh m. Two iPad pro
is already a very good waycom tabletalternative. No need for Apple pencil pro
really even for professionals. Yeah,it just it really varies. I guess
it's up to the professional. Theother viewpoint that I should acknowledge is like

(49:36):
it's not like bad that Apple releasesthese new iPads. It is very annoying
that they software locked. Well,we don't know for sure if it's a
software locked they probably could have madethe Apple Pencil Pro backwards compatible and they
just kind of chose not to.That's a little upsetting, But at a

(49:58):
certain point, I think Apple iskind of like, well, we have
to release something. We're gonna becompeting a lot with last year's model.
But at the end of the day, when someone walks into an Apple store
and wants to drop some money,we should make sure that they have a

(50:20):
decent, you know, high qualitytablet that's going to last them a long
time. So they build in lotsand lots of overhead with that m for
chip, so it's it is overkill. And same thing with the pencil.
It's like, yeah, we've beenselling the Apple pencil too since twenty eighteen.
Oh my god. Wow, Okay, so it's been six years that

(50:43):
we've been spending one hundred and thirtybucks on this same old pencil, which
you can buy on Amazon for eightybucks. By the way, it's the
exact same thing eighty dollars. Ifyou need the Apple Pencil two, which
magnetically charges on the side. Soif if people are spending one hundred and
thirty bucks in twenty twenty four,they should probably get a newer pencil that

(51:04):
can do a little bit more thanthe Apple pencil two. Just so we
have, you know, a gooddecent option for those who are walking in
the store or they want a newone they don't want to refurbish or use
one for any reason. If you'respending that kind of money, you should
get something pretty nice, I suppose, And I guess it's kind of hard
to argue against the iPad pros.I mean, the price is easy to

(51:27):
argue against, but the feature set. It's like, if you really really
want an old panel and you wantedthat barrel roll feature, there's no other
way to get it. You can'tbuy it. Well, I can't recommend
you buy an older one because it'snot going to have those things right.
My budget is three hundred dollars.Pro needs to be at at least one

(51:47):
twenty eight. Three hundred dollars ismy limit. Just has to at least
five to six years. The airworks, your budget is three hundred dollars.
Okay, I'm thinking the air fourwould maybe you could find an iPad or
four on Amazon for less than that. Ooh, Alpha might be buying an
ev soon. Congrats, man,I hope you would like it. I

(52:09):
gotta hear more about that later.Nicholas Linda Come says, I would like
to see Apple innovate in the gameshow market. Would love to see them
acquire Sony Mution pictures. That waythey could have access. Is that innovation
just buying up someone else? Idon't know. I feel like they would
just boost Apple TV Plus memberships atthe end of the day. But I

(52:32):
want Apple to buy Nintendo. Ohyeah, that is kind of a hot
take. I mean, they doa lot of similar business practices, but
I don't think Nintendo wants to bebought people. They want to make money
on pin What are you guys talkingabout. People are not realizing that the

(52:53):
camera's not in the center. It'soff to the left a little bit.
I don't know if this is partof the reason. Yeah, I recommended
that personally. I said, ifyou want the magnetic pencil to stay,
just move the camera a little bitover and they straight up did that.
But my whole thought process was itshould have been backwards compatible. To me,

(53:15):
the webcam repositioning was not worth breakingthe backwards compatibility with the pencils.
If we could have left the webcamin the exact same place but kept the
Apple pencil to compatibility, I wouldhave rather done that. What do I
think of the new bundle with TVplus Netflix and pica Ah. I didn't

(53:36):
see the price of it, butthe bundling usually just makes you pay for
things that you probably wouldn't have usedotherwise. But yeah, it's all cable
TV. The goal is, youknow, you offer a discount and then
you subscribe, and then you gethooked on a show, and then they
raise the prices. It's the streamingwars are endless. I've looked into building

(54:00):
a NAS and just decided it's notreally for me. I don't live in
a very big house. I don'thave a lot of space. Also,
electricity is very as expensive where Iam, so I don't love the idea
of paying for a big server that'skind of sucking power all the time.
And also there's big trips we takewhere I need access to most of my

(54:21):
footage locally, and it would bevery hard to pull all of that from
a server. Because sometimes I'm editingin places with very spotty internet, depending
on where I am in the world. Let's see, I'm surprised the big
Mac games like Resident Evil and DeathStranding aren't on Apple. Arg Yeah,
there's probably some business contract preventing thator something. Apple'siligin is just great in

(54:49):
general, it could help a lotof different things. But yeah, I
think Nintendo likes having control over alltheir stuff. I don't think Disney is
merging with Max. Max is justthe name of the big Warner others.
Warner Brothers is huge, and Idon't think interested in. There might be
a bundle. There might be bundleswhere they collaborate with each other, but
that doesn't mean the companies themselves aremerging. Also, it gets a little

(55:12):
confusing. It's all Disney Plus isalready kind of a mess with how much
content there is on there. Youhave kids movies and family shows, but
then you got Hulu, and ifyou pay for Hulu, you can integrate
that into the app, and youjust have so much integration. I don't
know if it's a good idea toput all the content within a super app.
I guess that's what Apple's trying todo with the Apple TV app,

(55:36):
though, right, Paramount might beselling to Sony. Yeah, I've seen
a million rumors like that. Idon't know. It's all just talk until
it actually happens. Most of thoserumors end up not happening, to be
honest, which Apple did their ownhearing aid. It sucks that you can't
stream music and have my hearing aidat the same music gone in the same
time with my earpot. Hey addthat to the small of AirPod feature requests.

(56:02):
Right, Hulu's on Disney Plus,so you've got R rated content alongside
the family content. It's kind ofconfusing and all over the place. But
yeah, I kind of like thembeing separate apps. Honestly, It's like,
Okay, if you know, I'vegot my sister over, I've got
family over, then we can lookat Disney Plus. But if it's just
me and my wife, then wecan look at Hulu. I don't love

(56:28):
the idea of all of those differentshows and movies being right next to each
other. They could have channels.Oh, here's an idea, and with
the remote you can flip through thedifferent channels. Wow, I never thought
of this before. I agree,Apple and Nintendo are very similar companies.
But so similar about how both ofthem like having control over their software and

(56:51):
hardware that I don't think they wouldmerge. I think Tesla and Apple also
have a lot of similarities, butthat doesn't mean they're going to merge either.
What is compatibility with third party stylistslike logic Tech Crayon. I wouldn't
buy first party accessories. Everybody keepstalking about first party I don't know about
the Crayon. I'm pretty sure thatonly works with the budget iPad. I

(57:14):
think I know it can work withother iPads, but it doesn't do like
half the stuff the Apple pencil doughor yeah, make sure it's in kids
mode. Streaming services are destroying cartoonchannels like Disney Choo. The whole streaming
industry is just a giant mess,and it's trying to figure out what it
wants to be. That's why Idon't watch a lot of content. To

(57:36):
be honest, I watch more YouTubethan anything because you can just instead of
trying to watch. Instead of tryingto watch, you know, a big
studio budget crap that's buying up titlesand buying up ip and merging it with
other ip and I don't know,I just there's not a lot of movies
and TV shows coming out that I'mthat interested in anyway. It on YouTube

(58:00):
you can just find individuals like justpeople that feel like real people that are
documenting their lives or their experiences orwhat their opinions are on certain things,
and you can just watch the onesthat are interesting and stop watching the ones
that aren't interesting. And YouTube islike unlimited documentaries about everything you've ever cared
about. You can find the tenniestniche of a niche, and there's a

(58:22):
whole channel designated to just that onething. Then you can get as much
of that genre as you want.It's cool. We use still support Zulu,
but does not have Disney plus godn When do I think AI will
be able to make movies if yourdefinition of movie is like two and a

(58:43):
half hour long feature film. Possiblynever. I'm not sure if that we'll
get to that point. I thinkthat's a big problem people have made with
a lot of software advancements, particularlywith AI, is they always expect the
development to be exponential, when inreality it typically makes big leaps. It

(59:04):
makes a big jump, but thenit levels out again and it always tapers
off. It becomes increasingly difficult toimprove once it gets ninety percent of the
way there, and then it becomesimpossible to improve when it's like ninety five
percent of the way there. I'veseen that with self driving. I've seen
that with chatbots. I've seen itwith you know, chatbots with too much
training, they could actually get dumberover time because of how humans train them

(59:30):
and give them. You know,they gaslight them and they give them false
information and all that kind of stuff. So there's there's big leaps and bounds
that can be made. But Idon't think personally we'll get to the point
where you could just type in sometext and then AI will crank out a
two and a half hour long moviethat's like cohesive. I mean, sure,
you could probably turn up the diallike they do right now and just

(59:52):
say make it last two hours.But will people know what's going on?
Will it just be a confus sayingmess of imagery? Will there be main
characters in dialogue? Will there belike a story arc where the character changes
or the plot moves along and there'scallbacks to earlier Well, I guess,

(01:00:15):
Michael Bay movies don't do that anyway, and people watch those, So I
don't know. Maybe I'm not gonnasay it's gonna be particularly good. My
point is, if they try tomake AI, let's start with a TV
show. Let's start with like AItrying to make a twenty minute sitcom.

(01:00:37):
I don't think it's gonna happen.Personally, I'm skeptical. I think AI
is just making big leaps and improvementsright now, so that's what we're all
talking about. But within a coupleof years there will be some other tech
trend that's taking off and we won'tbe talking as much about AI. That's
my that's my guess. What doI think about Mint now that the T
Mobile acquisition is finally closed? Justgonna wait and see. So far,

(01:00:59):
so good. I mean I wasa little skeptical. I thought it was
a little sketchy that T Mobile wasallowed to just, you know, buy
out one of the main competitors.There were a bunch of people that switched
to Mint Mobile because they were fedup with T Mobile. But thankfully,
it seems like the Mint Mobile managementand account and billing and everything hasn't been
touched. We're just we're still usingMint Mobile and T Mobile happens to be

(01:01:22):
in charge of it now. Butif mint Mobile starts changing things that I
don't like, then I'll start gettingangry. But so far, so far,
I won't. I haven't seen anythingthat I'm annoyed by. Twenty twenty
two Model threes have the AMD chips. Yes, that's correct, it will
definitely be able to don't know howgood the movie would be. Yeah,

(01:01:45):
I mean you could probably tell Soranow if they unlocked it fully to make
some video that was two hours long, but it wouldn't be cohesive, it
wouldn't really have a plot. Itwould probably just be a weird visualization.
Margell's is the whole mess with streamingis so ridiculous, to the point where
I don't discourage people from pirrating contentanymore, to be honest, Ah,

(01:02:09):
that's when it becomes more of atricky moral thing. I tend to not
encourage piracy because it's kind of aslippery slope. It's like, well,
if I'm pirating this, I'm notas well pirate this, And you know,
the Internet in the industry won't survivewith everybody becoming digital pirates. It's

(01:02:30):
kind of how you like close theloop, you know, It's the same
way I feel about ad blocking onYouTube, It's like, well, if
everybody thought the way you did,there would be no YouTube, and then
we wouldn't have this service that youclearly see value in because you're watching content
on it. So it's kind ofa selfish mindset to be like, well,
other people can watch ads and payfor it, but I will not

(01:02:52):
because I don't want to. It'skind of yeah, Will Smith Eating's begins.
It's kind of one of those likethe rules don't apply to me.
I hope they applied to everybody else, but I don't want to have to
put up with what everybody else putup with. And yeah, I would

(01:03:13):
say, if you're fed up withthe streaming services, I don't think piracy
is necessarily the answer, but Iwould say, like, you know,
cancel the ones you don't like ifthey get too expansive, don't watch the
content on them. And also there'sa lot more of a resurgence lately in
physical media, which I think isa bit more wholesome. It can still

(01:03:36):
support the industry, can support thepeople that worked on the project, and
you do own it legally, sothrift stores. That's what my buddy started
doing. He buys up Blu raysand bulk. He can buy a bunch
of them for like, you know, five dollars at a thrift store and
have a bunch of high resolution contentand he can watch it, and you

(01:03:58):
know, we go over to hisplace and it encourages people to come back
together again. This a little storyI don't think i've shared publicly. I
took some pictures of it here.But my friend, my best friend,
basically is getting married very soon,so I hosted his bachelor party. Now
we're not party animals. We're noteven really party people. We're very simple

(01:04:21):
guys. We most of the timejust talk and hang out. We don't
even like to go out to eatthat much because going out to eat is
so expensive. He prefers cooking fromhome anyway. So we're just kind of
one of those chill relationships. We'renot big party people. So when everybody
was telling us that I'm the bestman at the wedding, when everyone's telling
us you gotta do a bachelor party, what are you gonna do? And

(01:04:42):
I was like, I don't.Probably something simple and fun. So what
we did was we pulled out mycousin's old original Xbox and he had Halo
two on disc and we just wantedto have some snacks, eat some and
he plugged in this huge subwoofer inthis amazing sound system to the original Xbox,

(01:05:04):
and we played split screen Halo witheach other with the most crazy like
no shields shotgun only on the tiniestmap you could, and we were laughing
and dying hysterically, and the soundwas crazy loud, and we were all
fighting against each other, and itwas just I think there's there's an art

(01:05:25):
there that gets lost in a lotof this is more than just the gaming
content, but a lot of streamingencourages people to kind of stay where they
are, you know, just watchit on your tablets, watch it in
bed, watch it on the couch. But the cool thing with kind of
that physical media revival is the ideaof bringing more people together. The fact

(01:05:49):
that that Xbox that we pulled outof storage was able to boot up within
minutes of getting power, didn't havean update, didn't need to download anything
that takes hours and hours because yourbitrate is low, your download speed isn't
great. No, you just youplugged it in, it booted up,

(01:06:12):
you put the game in, thegame, didn't have five updates, that
needed to install. It didn't askfor an Xbox Live membership, It didn't
ask for any of that. Itwas just you plug in the controllers,
you hit press A to join,and they split the screen and we're together.
We're all looking at a screen,but we're experiencing something together, and
that makes it more fun those inperson interactions. In a similar way,

(01:06:34):
it's like, oh, my buddyRoss picked up this new movie that I
wanted to watch on Blu Ray.We're all going to get together and watch
it at his place rather than hepays twenty bucks a month for Netflix and
I paid twenty bucks for a monthfor Netflix, and then we both watch
it in our own houses. Youknow that kind of stuff. You know,
we didn't have Halo three, thatwe only had Halo two. But

(01:06:55):
still Halo two was great. Itwas hilarious. Split screen the other day,
and figure out how to get itto work on games that claim to
support it. Yeah, it wasjust it was so simple. Everything just
worked and it was so much fun. And I think all of this streaming
and all of these ads supported plansand membership costs increasing is kind of pushing

(01:07:16):
people more towards let's check out someof this this physical media that we were
so quick to get rid of.Physical media would be the ideal alternative to
streaming. The problems companies don't makephysical media for the shows that I like
to watch. Yeah, that's that'swhere the difficult you know, do you
wanna do you want to steal thecontent or do you want to not support

(01:07:40):
it? You know, if youreally like that show, you know,
I would argue, Okay, thatmeans that you value it, so you
should pay for it, even ifit's high. You know, it's just
apply it to any other thing.You know. I could argue that,
you know, a Snicker's bar shouldn'tlost five dollars or something, but that

(01:08:02):
doesn't make it okay for me towalk in and steal it. It doesn't
have to be from a store.It could be from someone's bag, you
know, or something like that whereit's like it's not a huge criminal offense,
but it's still technically stealing. Youknow, there's there's a product or
a service that a company is makingand they set a price for it.
You don't like that price. Thatdoesn't mean it's okay to take it,
but you have the ability to Ican't stop you, what do you think?

(01:08:30):
Why do you think Apple will putmac os on the iPad in June?
Yet they just updated their mobile versionof Pro. What I didn't say
I think they would do it.I just said they should do it.
Those are very different things. I'mnot predicting that they will add it to
the iPad. I'm just saying thatit's a good idea. Also, the
pro apps apply to older iPads aswell. You can use those on airs

(01:08:50):
and pros. And my suggestion wasthat it would only be on the one
terabyte M four iPad Pro. They'veactually started, Yeah, they started rehiring
some of the super charging team,that's true. How do I handle backups?
Do you keep any old stuff archived? Mostly on the cloud. Most

(01:09:12):
of my personal home videos and stuffI back up to an unlisted YouTube channel
so I can send links to iteverywhere and I can cast it anywhere.
And YouTube lets you upload as muchcontent as you want for free and they
won't count it against you. Youcan upload eight k hdr sixty frames a
second video that's fifteen hours long,and YouTube will just hold it forever for

(01:09:33):
free. It's pretty sweet. Ifthey stop letting you do that, I'll
have to think of something else.But for videos, I use YouTube,
and for photos I store a lotof stuff locally. I have some stuff
on hard drives and some stuff onmy computer, and some stuff on the
cloud. I use crappy third partycloud services, though I don't use iCloud.

(01:09:55):
I should pay the amount they getfrom advertisers, not more. Probably
it takes time and money for themto distribute everything, so they probably want
their cut. But yeah, ifwe boycott it enough because of the high
price, they'll have to bring itback down, right. I signed up
for all my streaming services on BlackFriday, so I got pretty good deals

(01:10:15):
on all of them. So we'repaying two dollars a month for Disney plus
one dollar a month for Hulu,and I think like a dollar and forty
cents a month. It comes outit was like twenty dollars for the year
for Peacock Premium. They had allthese Black Friday deals on the streaming services,
so we loaded up on them andsaid, okay, let's just get

(01:10:36):
everything over with. My cousin letsme use his max account. But they're
gonna start cracking down on password sharing, I think, so we might have
to start pitching in for that.But I will admit my wife and I
are big fans of true crime shows, and there's a show on Max that
I just love called Jinks. Whydon't I use iCloud because it's not unlimited

(01:11:00):
and it costs money. If itwas unlimited, it'd be a different story.
But I know. I used topay for two terabytes of iCloud.
But I quickly realized I'm gonna fillthis up and then I'm gonna have to
go through things and delete. SoI could either go through all my stuff
and start deleting and pay no money, or I could pay ten bucks a
month and still have to go throughand delete stuff. So I was like,

(01:11:24):
either way, the outcome is I'mgonna have to filter through this,
So I'd rather just do it nowand save the money. If there was
an unlimited iCloud storage tire, that'dbe a different discussion. Then it'd be
like, Okay, I'll never haveto go through and delete this stuff.
But because they don't have that,I don't want to pay for it.
Pops up every time they're promoting amovie. Well, Ryan Reynolds owns a

(01:11:45):
big chunk of mint and he madeif, So what do I think about
pirting movies that you have purchased throughan online service but just want to have
your own copy that you can watchon any media player. Eh, it's
messy, but I guess that's notas bad because you do technically you bought
it. It's weird, I getit. That's all creepy and moral ambiguity.

(01:12:06):
It's weird. But anyway, Igotta get going. It's getting hot
in here. Anyway. But wecould talk about that subject because there's no
real right answer, in my opinion, we could talk about that all day.
But I appreciate your guys to support. I'm glad I look healthy.
That's what I'm going for. Iwant to look like I'm healthy. But

(01:12:29):
thank you guys for your super chatsand for tuning in. And I'm really
thankful for you guys and your support. And I hope you have a excellent
rest of your day. Take Carol, Bye bye
