January 20, 202136: Curveball in the Kitchen
The guys continue to try and educate their homes, sometimes at great pain. Someone has a HomePod mini. A favorite app gets a nice update with an inconvenient cost. Fitness+ is still a thing and insurrection is kosher with the current White House administration, but Joe Biden can’t bring his Peloton. Join Clay, Scott & Vic for all this and more.

2020 wasn’t all that bad, especially in the podcast front! BS is the gift that keeps on giving😘😘😘 Awesome episode! If only I could put that music beat on repeat…jeez that’s good stuff you made there Vic! I can’t get enough and perfect how you played it twice this time🥰
Oh, and BAnon approves of Clay’s laptop cover🤣 In fact, my best friend gifted me one for my MacBook Pro that looks very similar except different color and I love it!

Many hours of callbacks, Tweetbacks, and all kinds of backs. Fitness+, beautiful moons, and HomeKit rage.

Tweetbacks:
The 3 kings came bearing gifts!👌🥰 Thank you so much, the greatest gifts are those little ones you don’t even ask for but yet turn out to be the biggest and most cherished ❤️ Happy holidays to you all, love Mrs.B😘😘😘

Clay was correct and if Vic had been paying attention he would’ve said so. All you have to do is get the IPA of an iOS app onto an M1 mac. Assuming you acquired the app with the same apple ID as the mac is signed into, it will run. FairPlay DRM for the account is the only check performed. When a dev choses to not be in the mac app store his app simply doesn’t show up in the store for download.
M1 Mac still Clay’s favorite, but his favorite software isn’t 100% onboard with the love affair (Clay will explain)
MacBook Air 13 inch Case
Controller for HomeKit received a rather nice update between the last recording and release and consequently doesn’t look like we described it and has a heftier IAP price tag.
Vic has Wemo/HomeKit rage.😂
Wemo issue
Alexa has got dumb
Scott bought another Wemo light switch & plug and a couple Feit 3-way dimmer switches.

I really enjoy the rowing workouts so far.
I am glad rowing is there but am somewhat surprised it made the cut and elliptical workouts did not. I would assume there are more people with those machines at home than rowers. (elliptical workouts don’t seem like something a trainer could or would do as much with to me personally)

Clay’s new MacBook Air (1TB/16GB RAM)
Feels like the future
16GB feels like 32 or more GB
Used from friday 8pm till Sunday and was only at 27%
Keep wanting to touch the screen (most touchable human designed MacOS yet
400 nits bright enough for photographers
Capture One Pro 20 which is not optimized for M1 is way faster under Rosetta 2 than my iMac mid 2011 with 32gb of RAM
This monitor is much better for photography editing vs my mid2011 iMac
Back-lit keyboard is interesting concept I never had a luxury of having. I am happy I can dial it down… It is set to 0
Battery life is phenomenal (charge every other day with heavy use ie photography editing)
Clay is gonna rate M1 MBA against all computers I’ve owned (including iPad & iPhone).

December 03, 202032: One More Thing
Clay, Scott and Vic briefly discuss the latest Apple event, then move on to a discussion about the new M1 powered Macs. The reviews are in and someone just may be getting one. Also discussed is the in-solid state of USB-C drives; see what we did there? They rounded out the show with Vic and Scott puzzled about the haters of Big Sur, Scott and Clay again puzzled by Vic’s choice in music and a new favorite Mac app from Panic.

iPad - Tim 🔈
The new 10.5 iPad - Ted Merendino (Product Manager, iPad) 🔈
Still with giant bezels (BEZELS?) and home button.
A12 bionic CPU, gen 1 Apple Pencil.
This looks like the body from the previous gen iPad Air, which is significantly nicer look and feel than the previous 10.2” 7th gen and 9.7” 6th gen that preceded it.
It’s still a good iPad for schools and kids.
iPad OS 14
Lots of great pencil updates with selecting, entering, editing, copy and paste
iPad Air
A14 bionic
Only Apple device with this new generation 5nm CPU.
ATP had a good analysis from John Siracusa on why this “base” A14 may not be as far ahead of the A12Z as people think, so it’s possible this isn’t quite the upset over the current iPad Pros as people may assume.
64 GB and 256 GB.
Not a great camera at all.
It’s actually a new body and not just the body from the 11” iPad Pro, but it has the same iPad Pro design language.
The colors. Oh, the colors.
Touch ID in the power button instead of Face ID. Given my constant inability to locate the buttons on my iPad Pro, I don’t know if I’d like that. I’d like it in an iPhone, but I don’t know about on an iPad.
10.9” screen. Not quite as bright and no pro-motion refresh rate
Apple Pencil 2 and 11” Magic Keyboard compatible

Apple Silicon for Mac - Tim
Johny Srouji is under water, according to Tim Cook
Apple SoC design summary - Johny Srouji (SVP, Hardware Technologies)
Apple has been doing custom silicon for over a decade
A4 in 2010 to A13 in 2019
iPad was A5X to A12X (and Z)
1000x GPU performance improvement in 10 years
Apple has shipped 2 billion SoCs in 10 years.
Srouji claims Apple Silicon will bring a whole new level of power to the Mac, considering both performance and power
Better performance, lower power
Custom technologies just for Mac - power management, Secure Enclave, high performance GPU, neural engine & ML accelerators
SoCs specifically for the Mac, common architecture across product lines
This guy keeps bouncing his hands up and down while talking. Does emphasizing points with hand waving mean anything if you do it after every word?
Native apps - Craig
Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro are native now.
Xcode is ready to compile Mac apps to Apple Silicon.
Universal 2 - universal binary that works on Intel and Apple Silicon
Microsoft and Adobe are working on their apps
Craig called Microsoft his friends
Craig shows off Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. He shows off some Metal 3d animations
LR and PS native on Apple Silicon
Apple promises quick and easy recompilation, of course
Rosetta 2 **- Andreas Wendker (VP, Tools & Frameworks Engineering)
Automatically translates apps at install time or at first run time, or dynamic translation for JIT apps
Virtualization (docker, Linux)
Rosetta 2 performance demos
Maya
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Linux VM in Parallels
iPhone and iPad apps run natively & unmodified on ARM Mac “Most apps will just work” (little vague there)
