The fact that this episode is sponsored by Meta AI is crazy! But how? They were literally shitting on FB minutes ago for not using the AI tag for it's AI content 😅😅
@@toptiertech7291 That's very evident bro. Brands usually do not want to sponsor a video where hosts have some nasty things to say about the respective companies. Brands will have some requirements too to pay the big buck, right? It looks very different in here. I was just wondering how these brand endorsements are made. Do the brands come up to them and say, "We would like to sponsor the next 5 podcasts irrespective of the content. You just do what you do best."?
I'm glad someone tried to explain it @1:23:35, but the segment on "How many bytes are in a 1TB" is 1 Trillion, based on the way it's worded (if comparing well Apples to anything but Windows). On Microsoft Windows however, what is labeled as 1TB is a lie and is actually a 1TiB. So on Windows, the actual answer for how many Bytes is in 1TB (really 1TiB) would be 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (1024^4). Linux, Mac, BSD, and modern Unix OS's (and pretty much everything other than Windows) "fixed" this years ago. But even today many people still wrongly think manufacturers are misleading them, or that the remainder is overhead of the OS or file system (neither are remotely true). The correction to what was said is simply that ALL hard drives are manufactured in Terabytes, not TiB (reverse of what was said at the end, and again this is ONLY an issue for Microsoft).
I was going to say I would love to buy a 1 TiB, but they’re sold in TB. bc it’s 1 trillion bytes. The byte is measured in base 2, but then every size above it is measured in base 10 so there isn’t a manufacturing issue
@@marzvrover I agree, and they should have just "fixed" this with the rollout of Windows 11. Such low hanging fruit and easy to fix, but such a dumb pain.
You suggested the Apple Watch cursor idea, right? You can already do this! Use the "remote" apple on your apple watch and you can control the Apple TV :)
The whole “Assistant” versus “Gemini” thing is a perfect example of Google having no idea how to market their products. How hard was it to just present an updated “Google Assistant” with AI, and eventually just no longer need to mention AI when is mainstream and intuitive
100% agree. I assume they are trying to give themselves the out of “but it’s a new product…” when it inevitably messes up. Whereas if they added it to an old established brand, they risk tarnishing that if these new features mess up
They're not marketing to users, they're marketing to shareholders. "Just" updating an existing product is less exciting to the market than an entirely new product. Of course this is why the Google graveyard is littered with tiny variations of the same idea and no one has any idea what google products can do, but it means the stock gets a bump after they annouce something new. At least that's the theory, dunno how well it worked this time.
I think regular people have a lot of "solutions" as to how big companies should do things and I wonder what's the reason behind why said companies don't do that. If it was really that easy to just combine Google Assistant and Gemini, Google would surely have done it. Assistant is so powerful and does many versatile things, that I think it hit Google in the ass when they tried to put AI into it, so they just came up with Gemini and now they're slowly trying to put all the assistant stuff into Gemini.

For the Apple problem, it’s cuz the trash is stored in the card under a hidden file that is not viewable unless you enable view hidden files (there’s a shortcut for it but I forget). So you can enable that and delete the .trash folder to properly delete it from the SD card, annoying but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think one of the reasons why UA-cam has not implemented A and B testing for titles yet is because they need to figure out how that will work with the feature that allows videos to display with titles in different languages and fix the bugs in that system. For instance, I watch a lot of videos that are in Korean. When they are first released, they don’t always have translations uploaded. 1-4 days later they tend to add the English translations and I usually notice this because the title of the video suddenly changes. However, if i am watching the video in a queue and minimize the queue, the title turns back to Korean. I don’t know how good A and B testing will be if users can see both titles. So i guess when they fix those bugs and figure out how to let the two features play nice, you’ll get your wish.
On the Terabyte vs Tebibyte conversation. They actually just increase in power of 10 increments, which is a lot easier to remember: 1 KiB = 2^10 1 MiB = 2^20 1 GiB = 2^30 1 TiB = 2^40 And 1 TiB is 1024 GiB which is close enough to 1000 GB when giving a rough idea of the amount of storage.

Could be wrong, but content aware fill isn’t AI because it’s using other parts of the image to fill in the section, like clone stamping. Generative fill is AI because it’s generating something new based on the context of the image.
David, you can absolutely filter out AI images on Adobe Stock. I use it regularly for work and do it all the time. Also, some of the AI images are absolutely passable for basic stock photography.
48:00 maybe I’m missing something but you can use the Remote app on Apple Watch to control Apple TVs. It’s not a mouse cursor per se, but you can use it to navigate the Apple TV’s interface.
For copying a selective part of a message I use circle to search and when it initiates the blue screen instead of circling I copy whatever words I need to copy. Works great!
3:55 This exact same problem occurs on Windows as well. This is one of the reasons I obsessively empty my recycle bin as soon as I delete anything. Have I ever accidentally deleted something I didn't mean to? Rarely, but it doesn't matter because I'm extremely organised and have multiple backups both online and offline. 33:24 We lefties just learn to use right-hand for most things. Even if I get leftie options in a game now I still use the normal controls.
for the new ipod, basically take the apple watch os, put it onto a 4" oled screen standalone device. Could use the same apps, soc, lte, etc. add in 256gb-1tb storage options.
4:00 Yes, that happens with hard drives, SSDs, and SD cards on maocs. Whenever you delete something, you have to empty trash otherwise it will stay in a hidden .Trash on the drive.
The Google ai thing being discussed is also a specific category of features that can be subscribed to via Google 1 - so there is the normal Google 1 subscription and a Google 1 ai subscription plan
photoshop should be able to determine how much of the image in a percentage value has been edited with AI (using how many pixels were changed with an AI based tool) and should label the tag with such clearing up if the main portion of the photo is real or not. metadata tags can be modified or removed entirely but this is able to be detected and most doing this would likely only be doing so in bad faith meaning they could label those aswell, both of these changes would make for a much clearer note on the image and better solution to the issue.
2 things. 1st. If you change the color profile then almost every pixel would be changed. If I added a person who didn’t exist in a photo that would change less pixels. And B. Everything you named can be skirted around by taking a screenshot of the edited photo
@@toptiertech7291 did you not read what I wrote? I said any pixel changed using the AI tools, any other tool used such as you described would not be included in such a percentage. Also your screenshot method would not work due to the second change I suggested being that a screenshot has completely different metadata to that of an actual photo which usually has info on camera specs, location, etc. A screenshot could be easily discerned from both an AI image and an altered photo and could be labeled as such. Like I said before if the metadata is modified its not hard to detect and they could label the image as having been tampered with.
@@jacklobb3510 the metadata doesn’t matter because when you post a photo on instagram it’ll see that there was nothing done with AI. It is not easy for instagram to tell if a screenshot is of something that was AI generated
FYI trash for each drive is stored in a hidden folder on that drive, causing that behavior with the flash drives having stuff on them before you empty the trash.
Marques, thanks for redeeming the entirety of this tech podcast by knowing that Tera was a trillion, basically akin to knowing the multiplication tables for those in EE, CompEE, Data Comm, CompSci, and on and on.
I absolutely need screenshots from more than 30 days ago. Just last month I looked up a screenshot from 2017, so I don’t know what Andrew was talking about. Lol
Just wanted to stop by and say that there’s definitely a way to filter out AI generated images in Adobe stock. It’s on the left-hand side in the filter section. That is all! Great content is always!
@@SoumaEli Marques is literally the biggest tech UA-camr, I’m sure he can find sponsors that everyone doesn’t hate. Plus, they are always talking about facebook, instagram and threads. How is anyone supposed to trust that they aren’t biased because of their sponsorship when talking about any of meta’s company? Why do you think MKBHD never has smartphone companies as sponsors, because you won’t be able to be objective.
@@TREX213they do hate on Meta a lot and talk about something being a meta product being a dealbreaker when they’d otherwise buy the product, it seems crazy to me that Meta sponsors this show
22:41 "I'm dating a new girl but still living with my ex" is the perfect analogy for the Gemini and Google assistant situation. That's why I just completely switched over to Gemini and enabled the Google Assistant features in Gemini under the settings menu.
What I really want is for Companies like Google and Apple to have "LOCAL BACKUPS" like in Photos, Files, etc we can back it up to Drive or iCloud. but there should also be an option to instead use Local NAS/Home Server to back stuff up. Face Recognition can be processed on their cloud, and then the database is updated and stored again on the local server. So If I have photos, they will go to Google Cloud for Face Recognition feature, it will create the Database and then my photos will be backed up on the server along with the database, so I can search photos of people/pets, etc easily. EU/US needs to mandate such Privacy Laws, that they HAVE TO have a non-cloud option. But again, we don't even have a proper DIGITAL ASSET OWNERSHIP act/law yet which is why even when you "BUY" digital asset, you are just licencing it and not purchasing.
1:07:15 Oh hey it’s me lol. Appreciate your guys’ insights on this one! I guess my thinking on that was since Apple was already using CFRP inside the Vision Pro, they could switch to manufacturing the whole body out of carbon fibre and make a sort of Vision Pro ‘monocoque’. That way they would lose weight since CFRP is already much less dense than aluminium and they would also lose all the extra weight from the material used to attach the inner structure to the outer body, kinda like they did when they did the whole ‘unibody’ MacBooks. Anyway, really fun episode guys! 🔥🔥
On budget phones where an under-display fingerprint reader is considered more premium, it being on the back is so much better as a thick case user. Sliding my finger - without looking - into the hole of the case feels better than being on the side and having to potentially re-adjust the way I'm holding the phone.
HOW TO COPY PARTIAL TEXT: 1. The swipe up still works on pixel phones. You just swipe up and press+hold on a text to select them. 2. On Samsung phones: - open up "Rectangle" select tool (usually from the side menu). You select around the text, press the "T" for you to select portion of a text to copy. Or just pin it as reference while you go to other apps. - With S Pen, hover over text you can press and hold the pen button to select partial text and copy etc. (works on browser and testing apps, but not everywhere eg: this yt comment)

Disclaimer, I haven’t checked to see if this is true, I’ve just started listening to the podcast so my statements might be inaccurate. I’ve been a big fan of both channels for a long time (MKBHD for way longer but Louis, despite his abrasive personality, has grown on me rather quickly). I think Louis’ video is important and absolutely deserves a response, but I never expected one to begin with since their styles are so different, Louis being so much more confrontational. I still hope that MKBHD consider telling their side of the story, that would be huge, but I’m not holding my breath unfortunately. TLDR; disappointed but not surprised.
@@feta_cheesecake to be clear it's possible that some magic UA-cam machine learning moderation hid it rather than a deliberate choice by them. Kinda hard to tell at this point since even what moderation tools are channel has access to can vary by creator size. I just know that the thread with the most replies on last weeks show was hidden by something. I can see it if I click on reply notifications from it, but viewing the video on a clean account does not show the comment at all.

So still not going to provide a response to the Louis video, huh? I feel like if you guys want to be unbiased, you should 100% put out a response. Your loyal and long time audience deserve it. Otherwise you’re all sellouts. You’re not fair and don’t put your audience first. It’s fine if have to be biased a bit at this stage of your business and play nice with companies, but don’t pretend to be something you’re not.

On the Terabyte vs Tebibyte conversation. They actually just increase in power of 10 increments, which is a lot easier to remember:
1 KiB = 2^10
1 MiB = 2^20
1 GiB = 2^30
1 TiB = 2^40
And 1 TiB is 1024 GiB which is close enough to 1000 GB when giving a rough idea of the amount of storage.
Another way to visualize it:
1024 GiB = 2^10 GiB = 2^10 * 2^30 = 2^40 = 1 TiB
Technically we count in base 10 the same way, but we increase in power of 3 increments instead:

1 GB = 10^9
1 TB = 10^12

I dont even understand the tech references sometimes but the commentary makes up for it 😂
48:00 maybe I’m missing something but you can use the Remote app on Apple Watch to control Apple TVs. It’s not a mouse cursor per se, but you can use it to navigate the Apple TV’s interface.
For copying a selective part of a message I use circle to search and when it initiates the blue screen instead of circling I copy whatever words I need to copy. Works great!
Pro tip, use Circle to Search to select the text you want when apps like Messages don't let you select it to copy
But I shouldn't need a second app to select text in the first app 😢 edit: when it's text based
3:55 This exact same problem occurs on Windows as well.
This is one of the reasons I obsessively empty my recycle bin as soon as I delete anything. Have I ever accidentally deleted something I didn't mean to? Rarely, but it doesn't matter because I'm extremely organised and have multiple backups both online and offline.
33:24 We lefties just learn to use right-hand for most things. Even if I get leftie options in a game now I still use the normal controls.
I have an old iphone with no apps other than Synology's audio app, and it's a fantastic shuffle-all mp3 player
Lots of laughs throughout the episode. I really liked Ellis's library joke at the end.
for the new ipod, basically take the apple watch os, put it onto a 4" oled screen standalone device. Could use the same apps, soc, lte, etc. add in 256gb-1tb storage options.
When you push up on the screen to look at all open apps, you can select ANY text on any app, including messages, so you can choose what to copy
4:00 Yes, that happens with hard drives, SSDs, and SD cards on maocs. Whenever you delete something, you have to empty trash otherwise it will stay in a hidden .Trash on the drive.
1:28:43 context?!?!?!? Cause thats a wild take 😅 Also Elis’ eyes lighting up is hilarious 😂😂
6:23 yes, ofc they add the AI tag to the metadata if you use AI upscaling or AI generate part of an image
I think it’s more that there should be a different tag for “edited with AI tools” from “generated with AI”
@@corvacopia ah, that makes sense. Maybe in the future they could change it
The Google ai thing being discussed is also a specific category of features that can be subscribed to via Google 1 - so there is the normal Google 1 subscription and a Google 1 ai subscription plan
photoshop should be able to determine how much of the image in a percentage value has been edited with AI (using how many pixels were changed with an AI based tool) and should label the tag with such clearing up if the main portion of the photo is real or not. metadata tags can be modified or removed entirely but this is able to be detected and most doing this would likely only be doing so in bad faith meaning they could label those aswell, both of these changes would make for a much clearer note on the image and better solution to the issue.
2 things. 1st. If you change the color profile then almost every pixel would be changed. If I added a person who didn’t exist in a photo that would change less pixels. And B. Everything you named can be skirted around by taking a screenshot of the edited photo
@@toptiertech7291 did you not read what I wrote? I said any pixel changed using the AI tools, any other tool used such as you described would not be included in such a percentage. Also your screenshot method would not work due to the second change I suggested being that a screenshot has completely different metadata to that of an actual photo which usually has info on camera specs, location, etc. A screenshot could be easily discerned from both an AI image and an altered photo and could be labeled as such. Like I said before if the metadata is modified its not hard to detect and they could label the image as having been tampered with.
@@jacklobb3510 the metadata doesn’t matter because when you post a photo on instagram it’ll see that there was nothing done with AI. It is not easy for instagram to tell if a screenshot is of something that was AI generated
FYI trash for each drive is stored in a hidden folder on that drive, causing that behavior with the flash drives having stuff on them before you empty the trash.
The copy and paste any text on the recent window only works on pixel phones. Comes in clutch
Scrolled the comments to say this.
Marques, thanks for redeeming the entirety of this tech podcast by knowing that Tera was a trillion, basically akin to knowing the multiplication tables for those in EE, CompEE, Data Comm, CompSci, and on and on.
The boys are United again 🎉
This has been my favorite episode so far. This has been the most I've seen you guys laugh. You guys are awesome!
I absolutely need screenshots from more than 30 days ago. Just last month I looked up a screenshot from 2017, so I don’t know what Andrew was talking about. Lol
You are a VERY small percentage of even the 1% 😂😂 but there’s always atleast 1
Just wanted to stop by and say that there’s definitely a way to filter out AI generated images in Adobe stock. It’s on the left-hand side in the filter section. That is all! Great content is always!
28:00 how do you not know about cookie clicker?? Every single kid played that in elementary school on their school Chromebooks during class.
Now I just use circle to search to try to select text that will only give you the whole field instead of words within the field. It works pretty well
Just stop the meta ads
Are you gonna fund them? And pay their salaries instead?
@@SoumaEli Marques is literally the biggest tech UA-camr, I’m sure he can find sponsors that everyone doesn’t hate. Plus, they are always talking about facebook, instagram and threads. How is anyone supposed to trust that they aren’t biased because of their sponsorship when talking about any of meta’s company? Why do you think MKBHD never has smartphone companies as sponsors, because you won’t be able to be objective.
@@TREX213they do hate on Meta a lot and talk about something being a meta product being a dealbreaker when they’d otherwise buy the product, it seems crazy to me that Meta sponsors this show
@@SoumaEliI would prefer he gets funded by other companies other than meta
22:41 "I'm dating a new girl but still living with my ex" is the perfect analogy for the Gemini and Google assistant situation. That's why I just completely switched over to Gemini and enabled the Google Assistant features in Gemini under the settings menu.
What I really want is for Companies like Google and Apple to have "LOCAL BACKUPS"
like in Photos, Files, etc we can back it up to Drive or iCloud.
but there should also be an option to instead use Local NAS/Home Server to back stuff up.
Face Recognition can be processed on their cloud, and then the database is updated and stored again on the local server.
So If I have photos, they will go to Google Cloud for Face Recognition feature, it will create the Database and then my photos will be backed up on the server along with the database, so I can search photos of people/pets, etc easily.
EU/US needs to mandate such Privacy Laws, that they HAVE TO have a non-cloud option.
But again, we don't even have a proper DIGITAL ASSET OWNERSHIP act/law yet which is why even when you "BUY" digital asset, you are just licencing it and not purchasing.
If I’m not mistaken, you can backup your iPhone locally with iTunes.
The iPhone has had local backups since its release.
That select specific bits of a text feature is exclusive to Pixel, I used to miss that feature but you can do that with circle to search now
Wild that Andrew didn't know about cookie clicker or idle games
46:53, yes that's a pixel only, they are the only on who as "select" on multi-window which eases the same thing, you can even copy images at times
David looks like he just got back from Jersey Shore
Kids won’t know the reference 😂😂😂
#ThrowbackMTV
@@bjojosimpsonit was not that long ago bro.
@@bjojosimpsonJersey shore is also a real place where he might have went and got tan
@@philguy5221 oh yeah good point.
1:07:15 Oh hey it’s me lol. Appreciate your guys’ insights on this one! I guess my thinking on that was since Apple was already using CFRP inside the Vision Pro, they could switch to manufacturing the whole body out of carbon fibre and make a sort of Vision Pro ‘monocoque’. That way they would lose weight since CFRP is already much less dense than aluminium and they would also lose all the extra weight from the material used to attach the inner structure to the outer body, kinda like they did when they did the whole ‘unibody’ MacBooks. Anyway, really fun episode guys! 🔥🔥
We’ll get 120 on the base iPhone when the pro gets something like 144 😂
"Those are computer numbers" -- you guys kill me, I love it.
You can use your apple watch as a apple tv remote already.
That multi task text copy function is a pixel thing. Works for me and use it a lot.
Crazy that they don't know what Cookie Clicker is
On budget phones where an under-display fingerprint reader is considered more premium, it being on the back is so much better as a thick case user. Sliding my finger - without looking - into the hole of the case feels better than being on the side and having to potentially re-adjust the way I'm holding the phone.
Circle to search is barely AI. It's just Google Lens with a different UI/UX. 😂
Google lens always used AI to find out what the image contains.
HOW TO COPY PARTIAL TEXT:
1. The swipe up still works on pixel phones. You just swipe up and press+hold on a text to select them.
2. On Samsung phones:
- open up "Rectangle" select tool (usually from the side menu). You select around the text, press the "T" for you to select portion of a text to copy. Or just pin it as reference while you go to other apps.
- With S Pen, hover over text you can press and hold the pen button to select partial text and copy etc. (works on browser and testing apps, but not everywhere eg: this yt comment)
"Why doesnt the base iphone have....." somth was the original title
120 hz screen
It wasn't performing well and was a minor part of the pod so we decided to make a title change!
@@Manganellia1 ahhhh, fair enough
Amazing episode either way!
1:27:25 SSD usually have exactly one terabyte one them because it is less storage that you can marked as 1TB implying that it is 1TiB
when instagram was new, reported like 10 ads in a row and still to this day I have ad free instagram
Touching on the iPod mention, I literally just bought a fifth generation classic that I’m going to update with an SSD, new battery, new display, and new case. There’s even mods for Bluetooth and USB-C out there, it’s insane
The copy and paste thing while multitasking still works on Pixel atleast on latest update. So its probably just a Samsung limitation
I'm a left handed person who uses a symmetrical mouse with side scrolling with my right hand. I actually love it, I've been using it for about 6 years as a designer and 3D artist, and it's relatively cheap: Microsoft Designer Mouse 3600 Bluetooth.
Saw the chapter list... Haven't seen the video yet, (it launched 10 mins back)
I had hoped they'd discuss something about the Louis Rossmann's video.
Guess it's not happening in this one.
He's going to gaslight, and his viewers will forget about it. Markquess which we loved long time gone, this guys is just businessman who have zero fucks about others.
Brother HL-2270DW and all of its derivatives are golden. Never had an issue, toner lasts for a long time and replacement toner is very affordable.
Looking forward to the eventual response to the whole Apple drama.
I also loved Andrew's "made with Apple juice" 😅 such a special of people. They are so cool with their quirks. Each one uniquely made me chuckle on this episode 🤣 love you guys.

I am left handed and use a a right handed mouse and I wouldn't change it. I also type on my phone right handed. The reason I like it this way is that it leaves my dominant hand available for if I have to write either on paper or with the spen or apple pencil.
Interesting that last week the most upvoted comment asking for a response to the Louis video mysteriously disappeared.
Disclaimer, I haven’t checked to see if this is true, I’ve just started listening to the podcast so my statements might be inaccurate.
I’ve been a big fan of both channels for a long time (MKBHD for way longer but Louis, despite his abrasive personality, has grown on me rather quickly). I think Louis’ video is important and absolutely deserves a response, but I never expected one to begin with since their styles are so different, Louis being so much more confrontational.
I still hope that MKBHD consider telling their side of the story, that would be huge, but I’m not holding my breath unfortunately.
TLDR; disappointed but not surprised.
@@feta_cheesecake to be clear it's possible that some magic UA-cam machine learning moderation hid it rather than a deliberate choice by them. Kinda hard to tell at this point since even what moderation tools are channel has access to can vary by creator size. I just know that the thread with the most replies on last weeks show was hidden by something. I can see it if I click on reply notifications from it, but viewing the video on a clean account does not show the comment at all.
Understood, thank you for the precisions :)
@@Kas-tleyeah UA-cam does randomly remove comments sometimes and the manager for it is annoying as hell so it may not be MKBHD’s doing
Marques slyly referencing the Tim Cook magic mouse thing is what I'm here for.
Feels weird dunking on the ai label on Instagram when they are double sponsored in the same episode by META AI
Also the label is definitely on Facebook, and I think it was there before or at the same time that got introduced to Instagram
36:58 A lot of my colleagues missed an important conversation because slack didn't notify them unless they were mentioned even though they set it for "all messages" in their notification settings.
I love how deeply immersed in the Apple ecosystem people are that they worry about the minutia of using the watch as a trackpad or its wireless charging when there's the glaring issue that you *can't use it as a standalone product*.
Then don’t use it… problem solved…
@@JSUTrumpet The problem is that the walled garden exists. So, clearly the problem isn't solved yet.
@@nageshk301 it’s a problem for you…. Not for me. Use it or stop complaining.
@@JSUTrumpet You don't need to have the "f you I got mine" attitude. Telling someone to stop complaining about a situation they don't like seems counter-productive.
Generally people worry about the issues that affect them more than those that don’t
1:03:54 "YASSS S teir for the old Ipod but updated." For those of us with kiddos to young for a phone but old enough to listen to music this would be SUCH an awesome compromise. they can see the artwork to know what they want to listen too. and select it them selves. (i have a 4 year old learning to read so this would fit PERFECTLY)
Where's the base IP 120hz part?
I thought someone would have replied to your comment, so i could watch
It's in Marques's rant section! around the 36:46 minute mark
Please do a little segment on the "How We Feel" app, it's such an underrated and wholesome project :)
So still not going to provide a response to the Louis video, huh?
I feel like if you guys want to be unbiased, you should 100% put out a response. Your loyal and long time audience deserve it.
Otherwise you’re all sellouts. You’re not fair and don’t put your audience first.
It’s fine if have to be biased a bit at this stage of your business and play nice with companies, but don’t pretend to be something you’re not.
For the wish list:
- pro display with 120 hertz and speaker like studio display,
- pixel tablet dock but for ipad,
- expandable storage on the M series macs.
No acknowledgement of the Luis Rossmann video?
54:50 The Honor 8 had a physical finger print reader that was a programmable button for hold, tap, and double tap. AND had gestures on it for swiping down, left, right, esc!
Has he still not addressed the Rossmann video?
@58:17 Finally, someone is addressing the Garmin charging issue! Huge pain point. Now if we could just get @Garmin to pay attention.
he still hasnt acknowledged louis rossman calling him out on the apple ad?
Listening to the “Google Add People with AI” after it was announced is crazy fun
I can’t believe none of these people know anything about how any tech works. If they actually researched how stuff works instead of reading news articles all day they’d be able to discus this tech in a more relevant way.
Just glorified media journalists
@@dhavalsavalia Yeah, it feels like there are so many people (like marques) just reading news articles and then repackaging information, without adding any new value. I guess that's what media is all about.
@@simonvutov7575 His older videos were good, tho his current production quality is simply THE BEST imo. In order to cater to a "wider audience" media journalists sometimes have to "water down" the tech components. But yeah I do agree, the number of news reader youtubers is increasing and will keep increasing with LLM.
The wishlist to use the watch to control the apple tv is a thing. You use the remote app on the watch. It is very similar to using the remote on the phone. Not sure if I misunderstood this or what but this has been a feature for years.
