00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.778
There's a bunch of dorks like us.
00:00:01.778 --> 00:00:13.153
Alright.
00:00:13.153 --> 00:00:15.151
Here we go once again, basic AF Show.
00:00:15.151 --> 00:00:18.149
It is Tom Anderson, Jeff Batteries B, W.
00:00:18.149 --> 00:00:18.349
W.
00:00:18.349 --> 00:00:18.588
D.
00:00:18.588 --> 00:00:18.867
C.
00:00:18.867 --> 00:00:19.347
Week.
00:00:19.347 --> 00:00:20.928
Jeff, it has been a week.
00:00:21.347 --> 00:00:25.445
It has been a week, and I'm still coming to you, Tom, from Jeffrey Dahmer's basement.
00:00:25.815 --> 00:00:28.173
Well, you're dressed like in your storing bodies there.
00:00:28.173 --> 00:00:29.074
It looks cold.
00:00:29.492 --> 00:00:30.472
It's it's cold.
00:00:30.472 --> 00:00:32.890
It's cold in the northeast and smoky.
00:00:32.890 --> 00:00:34.750
It smells like everybody's having a barbecue.
00:00:34.789 --> 00:00:35.229
So They
00:00:35.229 --> 00:00:38.448
I saw they postponed the Yankee's game tonight because of the smoke.
00:00:38.508 --> 00:00:39.468
Oh, I believe it.
00:00:39.468 --> 00:00:40.826
I was supposed to be tomorrow.
00:00:40.826 --> 00:00:43.265
Like, apparently, it's I don't know if it'll be better tomorrow or not.
00:00:43.265 --> 00:00:43.585
They will
00:00:43.585 --> 00:00:44.375
find a engine.
00:00:44.375 --> 00:00:51.051
Well, we're supposed to have up to fifteen mile an hour winds this evening, so maybe that'll blow the smoke your way.
00:00:51.051 --> 00:00:51.530
I hope I
00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:52.610
think it did all day.
00:00:52.610 --> 00:00:55.139
It was pretty breezy here today and yesterday.
00:00:55.139 --> 00:00:58.396
And we don't have as much as you do up to
00:00:58.396 --> 00:00:58.637
ten year
00:00:58.637 --> 00:01:02.965
in Virginia, but we've got is hazy like I was looking at sun last night?
00:01:02.965 --> 00:01:07.722
And it's like this, you know, orange disc, but you don't have to squint it off.
00:01:07.722 --> 00:01:09.402
It's like it's just like yeah.
00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:09.980
It's there.
00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:10.379
Mhmm.
00:01:10.379 --> 00:01:11.019
You know, but Yeah.
00:01:11.019 --> 00:01:11.338
Right.
00:01:11.338 --> 00:01:14.078
You you can be Donald Trump looking at the eclipse.
00:01:17.234 --> 00:01:17.515
Yeah.
00:01:17.515 --> 00:01:18.114
You could do that.
00:01:18.114 --> 00:01:20.134
You know, I'm sleeping politics.
00:01:20.134 --> 00:01:21.612
Well, that one's okay.
00:01:21.612 --> 00:01:23.311
What's a good joke?
00:01:23.311 --> 00:01:25.051
That one's pretty good.
00:01:25.311 --> 00:01:25.510
Yeah.
00:01:25.510 --> 00:01:26.790
You know, you stand on my backyard.
00:01:26.790 --> 00:01:29.118
I have two two little stone walls.
00:01:29.118 --> 00:01:36.094
One's about twenty feet from my back door, and the other one's about probably forty five feet from my back door.
00:01:36.094 --> 00:01:36.594
Mhmm.
00:01:36.594 --> 00:01:42.912
And if you are standing on the back porch, looking out, there's a haze at the twenty foot wall.
00:01:42.912 --> 00:01:43.632
Nice.
00:01:43.632 --> 00:01:44.948
So, yeah, that's great.
00:01:44.948 --> 00:01:47.447
My lungs, you know, my lungs, so
00:01:47.707 --> 00:01:48.906
cough as much as you need to.
00:01:48.906 --> 00:01:49.626
And that's how you
00:01:49.626 --> 00:01:50.945
guys get to take up smoking.
00:01:50.945 --> 00:01:53.206
Well, I think you might as well.
00:01:53.206 --> 00:01:59.421
So Monday, so we're recording this a little bit early this week.
00:01:59.421 --> 00:02:09.044
Gonna be heading out of town to the beach And so we thought we'd go ahead and get that done especially with it being the keynote week and w w d c conference and all that fun stuff.
00:02:09.044 --> 00:02:11.783
So we're recording on Wednesday.
00:02:11.783 --> 00:02:14.143
So just a couple of days after the keynote.
00:02:14.143 --> 00:02:19.598
So some you know, if news comes out between now and this publishes that contradicts anything we're talking about.
00:02:19.598 --> 00:02:22.377
Well, it wouldn't be the first.
00:02:22.377 --> 00:02:26.056
Yeah.
00:02:26.056 --> 00:02:26.514
Yep.
00:02:26.514 --> 00:02:28.954
So what if we've been wrong before, Tom?
00:02:28.954 --> 00:02:29.473
Oh, yeah.
00:02:29.473 --> 00:02:31.072
We'll be give us a couple minutes.
00:02:31.072 --> 00:02:31.972
We'll do it again.
00:02:31.972 --> 00:02:42.746
So last show, we did our wish list for the conference to see what well, to to express what we would like to see.
00:02:42.746 --> 00:02:44.704
And then Tom.
00:02:44.704 --> 00:02:45.524
Yeah.
00:02:45.524 --> 00:02:46.183
Did okay.
00:02:46.183 --> 00:02:47.062
No surprise.
00:02:47.082 --> 00:02:47.522
No.
00:02:47.522 --> 00:02:48.662
You did great.
00:02:48.662 --> 00:02:50.320
Santa Claus loves you.
00:02:50.320 --> 00:02:50.760
Yep.
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:52.860
Oh, Santa Cook cooked me up.
00:02:53.189 --> 00:02:53.629
Yeah.
00:02:53.629 --> 00:02:54.129
Right.
00:02:54.129 --> 00:02:55.508
Send a cookie a good job.
00:02:55.508 --> 00:02:56.008
Mhmm.
00:02:56.008 --> 00:02:58.586
So we could do a quick rundown.
00:02:58.586 --> 00:03:00.645
I'll just tell you everything Tom got right.
00:03:00.645 --> 00:03:08.662
Widgets redone, bring back the dash Well, maybe not the dashboard, but he definitely got some redone widgets gonna be able to interact with those.
00:03:08.662 --> 00:03:10.841
A better strange strange manager.
00:03:12.810 --> 00:03:14.709
I'm not gonna comment on that.
00:03:16.127 --> 00:03:17.508
I'm what's a better strange.
00:03:17.508 --> 00:03:21.395
All sorts of things that could be said about that.
00:03:21.395 --> 00:03:24.872
Stage manager, free formed window sizes.
00:03:24.872 --> 00:03:25.832
You got that too, Tom.
00:03:25.832 --> 00:03:25.992
Yeah.
00:03:25.992 --> 00:03:28.072
It sounds like it from what does people were saying.
00:03:28.072 --> 00:03:31.330
So it looks like they made some some nice improvements to that.
00:03:32.618 --> 00:03:33.118
Correct.
00:03:33.118 --> 00:03:35.358
Better data visualization.
00:03:35.358 --> 00:03:39.795
Actually, the better health app, particularly in the macOS side.
00:03:39.795 --> 00:03:41.924
Gonna get some health there.
00:03:41.924 --> 00:03:42.443
That's good.
00:03:42.443 --> 00:03:46.421
We were both riding about a fifteen book fifteen inch MacBook Air.
00:03:46.421 --> 00:03:50.340
Not that there was much chance to get that particular thing wrong.
00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.198
And I will say that everything else that I wished for, Tom.
00:03:53.198 --> 00:03:54.437
I get bookies.
00:03:54.437 --> 00:03:56.396
I get a hole in my stocking.
00:03:56.396 --> 00:03:57.955
Zippy cook stocking.
00:03:57.955 --> 00:03:58.256
Yep.
00:03:58.256 --> 00:03:59.055
You know what I mean?
00:03:59.055 --> 00:04:00.294
You know, who knows?
00:04:00.294 --> 00:04:01.894
Maybe something like my display menu.
00:04:01.894 --> 00:04:05.912
And the menu bar will show up, you know, when I download a latency.
00:04:06.051 --> 00:04:06.450
But Right.
00:04:06.450 --> 00:04:06.610
Yeah.
00:04:06.610 --> 00:04:09.719
Because a lot of the stuff is Yeah.
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.296
Is it keynote worthy necessarily, but it ends up turning up during the -- Right.
00:04:14.296 --> 00:04:15.257
-- during the beta words,
00:04:15.257 --> 00:04:15.895
you're saying that
00:04:15.936 --> 00:04:17.016
You still gotta change that.
00:04:17.016 --> 00:04:18.235
It's just really pissy.
00:04:18.235 --> 00:04:19.125
Is what you're saying.
00:04:19.125 --> 00:04:19.564
I mean,
00:04:19.564 --> 00:04:20.283
I didn't say it.
00:04:20.283 --> 00:04:21.322
They sent little yeah.
00:04:21.322 --> 00:04:22.163
Well, I know I guess.
00:04:22.163 --> 00:04:22.322
It's a
00:04:22.322 --> 00:04:23.142
little thanks.
00:04:23.601 --> 00:04:25.661
It is too little things.
00:04:25.661 --> 00:04:28.230
It definitely is.
00:04:28.230 --> 00:04:29.869
Congratulations, Tom.
00:04:29.869 --> 00:04:31.668
If we were giving out money
00:04:31.668 --> 00:04:32.767
-- Man, well.
00:04:32.767 --> 00:04:33.067
--
00:04:33.067 --> 00:04:34.987
for all the things you got, if
00:04:34.987 --> 00:04:37.125
we made any money, we could give some out.
00:04:37.444 --> 00:04:38.564
Well, you know, it's kinda
00:04:38.764 --> 00:04:39.204
It's early.
00:04:39.204 --> 00:04:39.944
It's early.
00:04:39.944 --> 00:04:40.463
Yeah.
00:04:40.483 --> 00:04:45.290
Something else they did with well, we could well, I'll save that we get
00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:45.529
to No.
00:04:45.529 --> 00:04:45.889
Say it.
00:04:45.889 --> 00:04:46.048
Go.
00:04:46.048 --> 00:04:46.209
No.
00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:53.524
It's just gonna say when they if you want, we can lead the use this as the jumping off point, but so they did that fifteen inch MacBook Air Uh-huh.
00:04:53.524 --> 00:04:54.983
Which looks great.
00:04:54.983 --> 00:04:57.543
I think I told you we were chatting back and forth.
00:04:57.543 --> 00:05:03.338
So, man, I wish that was out, you know, before when I'd gotten my sixteen inch Mac a pro, I definitely would've picked that up instead.
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:05.317
Well, tell and and but
00:05:05.317 --> 00:05:06.637
you can't buy what's going on.
00:05:06.716 --> 00:05:08.076
Stole in my computer later.
00:05:08.076 --> 00:05:09.175
I would've Right.
00:05:09.175 --> 00:05:10.975
We've got it too dicks.
00:05:10.975 --> 00:05:13.903
But better job things.
00:05:13.903 --> 00:05:14.103
Yeah.
00:05:14.103 --> 00:05:19.879
But the other thing they did is they surprisingly dropped the price of the thirteen inch model -- Yeah.
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.916
-- by a hundred bucks, which was nice because that's got some implications for me at work.
00:05:23.916 --> 00:05:31.733
And we're we're evaluating options there, but I think it's gonna allows to do a little processor upgrade or something and kinda maintain the same price point.
00:05:31.733 --> 00:05:33.072
So that'll be kind of nice.
00:05:33.411 --> 00:05:33.851
That's great.
00:05:33.851 --> 00:05:37.889
And those MacBook Airs, that that form factor is is Brilliant.
00:05:37.889 --> 00:05:49.483
It really is it really is my middle child, youngest daughter, picked one up for school and she started graduate school in it's it's a great computer, really is.
00:05:49.483 --> 00:05:49.684
So
00:05:49.684 --> 00:05:50.463
-- Yep.
00:05:50.463 --> 00:05:52.343
-- so they'll they'll sell a ton of those.
00:05:52.343 --> 00:05:54.321
And the price was was good.
00:05:54.321 --> 00:05:59.358
I I expected it kinda fall into that fourteen ninety nine mark, but this twelve ninety nine, that's good.
00:05:59.358 --> 00:05:59.858
Yeah.
00:05:59.858 --> 00:06:00.117
No.
00:06:00.117 --> 00:06:00.637
It's great.
00:06:00.637 --> 00:06:01.336
And believable.
00:06:01.336 --> 00:06:02.297
That sounds truly
00:06:02.355 --> 00:06:03.495
fantastic there.
00:06:03.495 --> 00:06:11.471
Other hardware that they did, they upgraded or I should say updated the Mac Studio.
00:06:11.471 --> 00:06:12.230
Yep.
00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:17.978
Within m two ultra, so you can get it in m two max m two ultra.
00:06:17.978 --> 00:06:21.115
And they bumped the RAM up to that.
00:06:21.115 --> 00:06:22.863
I think up to a hundred and ninety two.
00:06:22.863 --> 00:06:23.463
I don't remember
00:06:23.463 --> 00:06:24.723
what A hundred ninety two.
00:06:24.723 --> 00:06:26.622
Maybe I don't either recall.
00:06:26.622 --> 00:06:33.718
Well, you have a short chat back and forth that that might be not upgradeable at all in either of these.
00:06:33.718 --> 00:06:34.218
Right.
00:06:34.218 --> 00:06:40.894
But either the because they also did the the Mac pro.
00:06:40.894 --> 00:06:41.593
They did.
00:06:41.593 --> 00:06:42.494
Yeah.
00:06:42.494 --> 00:06:43.074
They did.
00:06:43.333 --> 00:06:46.692
But they're both they have a ceiling of a hundred and ninety two gigs, both of them.
00:06:46.692 --> 00:06:47.192
Mhmm.
00:06:47.192 --> 00:06:56.146
Which you had said particularly with with the pro that that might make a few people a little not happy.
00:06:56.146 --> 00:07:08.319
I still think or feel like, you know, with onboard around now, it it feels a lot like it's twice as much.
00:07:08.499 --> 00:07:09.158
It does.
00:07:09.158 --> 00:07:10.658
Yeah.
00:07:10.658 --> 00:07:23.880
And and to be honest, like, I can't really speak with any experience on what the folks that use the Mac Pro and have jammed, like the the Intel based Mac Pro would go up to one point five terabytes of RAM.
00:07:23.880 --> 00:07:26.098
Which is ridiculous.
00:07:26.098 --> 00:07:29.197
But but I don't and I know people use it.
00:07:29.197 --> 00:07:34.954
Like, they do large data sets and all sorts of things, but all I know are you know, a few threads I read here and there.
00:07:34.954 --> 00:07:49.456
I've never done anything remarkably close to that so I cannot speak to it with any informed discussion anyway, but it it is significantly less than one hundred and ninety two gigs obviously versus the one point five -- Yeah.
00:07:49.456 --> 00:08:00.848
-- terabyte but you've got your, you know, your expansion slots are in the Mac Pro now, which so it's basically they took the Mac Studio, put it in the Mac Pro chassis and gave you some you know, PCI expansion slots.
00:08:01.108 --> 00:08:01.608
Yep.
00:08:01.608 --> 00:08:02.908
But I thought
00:08:02.908 --> 00:08:03.708
it was nuts.
00:08:03.708 --> 00:08:08.485
There's, you know, up to twenty two streams of an eight of eight k.
00:08:08.485 --> 00:08:11.264
My holy crap.
00:08:11.264 --> 00:08:12.942
So Yeah.
00:08:13.322 --> 00:08:15.281
And how many I can't remember off the top of my head.
00:08:15.281 --> 00:08:17.240
How many monitors did it drive?
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:17.740
Was
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:22.009
it supports up to six pro display XDRs.
00:08:22.009 --> 00:08:23.447
Okay.
00:08:23.447 --> 00:08:24.846
There it's a couple.
00:08:25.706 --> 00:08:26.665
Just to you.
00:08:26.665 --> 00:08:27.165
Nancellon.
00:08:27.165 --> 00:08:28.384
Man, imagine painters.
00:08:28.384 --> 00:08:29.483
Six of those things.
00:08:29.483 --> 00:08:32.381
Doesn't sound like thirty how much of those again?
00:08:32.381 --> 00:08:33.610
Are they ten, six?
00:08:33.610 --> 00:08:34.769
Six days, something like that.
00:08:34.769 --> 00:08:34.969
Yeah.
00:08:34.969 --> 00:08:36.408
I don't even look at those things.
00:08:36.408 --> 00:08:36.607
No.
00:08:36.607 --> 00:08:37.888
Because I can't afford it.
00:08:37.888 --> 00:08:40.985
I mean Well, I I could afford it, but it would be it.
00:08:40.985 --> 00:08:42.443
Terribly stupid purchase.
00:08:42.443 --> 00:08:45.623
Like, I can't justify that.
00:08:45.623 --> 00:08:50.789
So, I mean, I'd love to have one if somebody wants to donate one to the show for research purpose
00:08:51.509 --> 00:08:51.989
Sure.
00:08:51.989 --> 00:08:52.349
Yeah.
00:08:52.349 --> 00:08:52.849
Sure.
00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:59.525
Twenty four core CPU, seventy six core GPU, and that m two ultra, which is a lot.
00:08:59.525 --> 00:09:03.342
So if you need that high end stuff, you've got options there.
00:09:03.342 --> 00:09:10.357
And I tell you, man, that max studio and that's a that is just packed full and is a heck of a machine.
00:09:10.778 --> 00:09:11.057
Yeah.
00:09:11.057 --> 00:09:12.797
Do you have any of those at work?
00:09:13.177 --> 00:09:20.153
I think we have maybe one so far that one of the music production folks picked up.
00:09:20.153 --> 00:09:25.720
I did not get to see it, but I seem to recall one coming through like as a on a p o or something.
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:26.539
Mhmm.
00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:27.119
Yeah.
00:09:27.119 --> 00:09:27.399
Yeah.
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.278
I have a attached one.
00:09:29.278 --> 00:09:30.118
It's very nice.
00:09:30.118 --> 00:09:30.618
Mhmm.
