  • A lot happened this week! First, Marques and Andrew discuss the full story behind the original iPhone that Marques won at an auction for $40,000. After that, we try out a new segment that Marques has dubbed "Headlines in a hat" where they (you guessed it) pick out a few headlines from a hat to talk about. They go over everything from the new Polestar 4 to the Spotify redesign and some other quirky topics as well. We round it out with David calling in from Iceland to take part in trivia. This was a fun one!
    Chapters:

    I'm an Apple engineer and "gdlocal" is the name we use with internal testing software. For example, the MacBooks we have in our labs have a default user called gdlocal. I don't know the history or reasoning behind the name but I've seen it many times.

    One thing I've heard from older people regarding sideview/rearview mirrors, is that it can be hard to switch focus so close to be able to see the screen, when it doesn't matter for a mirror since your focal point is still so far away

    Last night, I ordered the Studio T-shirt and the Windbreaker. My subtotal was $69.00. After tax and shipping, my total was $83.69. I'm not proud of it, but I did giggle. Then I had a dream I was on the run from the police, and when I was waking up in my own bed, for a moment, still half-asleep, I thought "idiot! they'll find you in your own house!" and I spent a few seconds planning which window to escape through before I realized it had been a dream. Now you may think those stories aren't related, but for me it's been a privately, strangely entertaining last 12 hours, and I needed to share it. Hope you have a strangely entertaining rest of your day!

    One drawback of camera based rear view mirror is that If the camera fails for some reason (could be due to high heat), you lost a mirror and you need to now potentially pay a lot more just so you can look at back. until that you cannot drive the car safely and potentially could be illegal too.

    • @quinnkirlew9892
      @quinnkirlew9892 Рік тому

      I don't think lack of a rearview mirror is illegal, at least here in America. However, I agree about the lack of safety, I used to work and drive for the postal service and basically having to rely on memory of what's behind you is definitely sketchy.

    I do not recall the steps involved, but early enterprise iPhone 1, 2g, 3g, and ipad enterprise deployments. We went to the retail store to pickup our orders.
    Walking through the mall with dozens of iPhone and iPad every time a new model launched.
    The initial Apple Enterprise setup was very wonky but all of these devices were tied to us ahead of time in some way.

    I've always had Waze issues with giant black boxes over the road UI. It worsens when it pops up hazards that remove important driving directions from the top and again covers the road with non-transparent boxes. I either need to turn those warnings off or quickly try to dismiss them while driving.

    Andrew you were a part of the lucky few who were actually able to watch the Love is Blind reunion live after the 90 minute wait. We were told the reunion would no longer be live after waiting 90 mins and that they would get the video up later that evening. Welp...that didn't happen either lmao 🤣. Woke up in the morning to see the episode available then suddenly disappear and be told guess what?! Our fault again guys now you have to wait until 3pm to watch the episode 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So for many of us the reunion did not ever air "Live", it kept getting pushed back multiple times, until the following afternoon.

    RE the shades & Google Assistant controlling fewer and fewer with time: I'm seeing that with my GE smart lights too - I have a routine for which ones go on (and what brightness) when I come home, but for the past few months fewer and fewer come on when I get home, and at incorrect brightnesses. I honestly think it's Google Assistant degrading... My Home Minis are definitely worse overall at responding appropriately and doing what I ask than they were when I bought them! Anyone else experiencing this?!

    GDLocal, maybe Generic Device Local, because no network connection???🤷‍♂ "Local" is usually the user's computer on a network. I'm just guessing at the "Generic Device", but thinking that because the phone's never been connected to the network to validate the user's name. Hence, it could be a default name hard coded for phones that power up with no network connection.

    Highly recommend using your Spotify money and spending a few extra dollars a month for UA-cam premium. It’s annoying to start up playlists again but in return, you get all the premium benefits, youtube music, movies, tv, etc. the best part about UA-cam music is switching from audio to music video flawlessly, you can also listen to all those rare rips on UA-cam of rare tracks or live concerts not available on Spotify. I had Spotify since the pandora days and UA-cam music is better. Take the jump.
