Hidden Node

Being repulsed by the idea of letting his car idle in the car park, Nick has decided to investigate battery powered electric pumps for pumping up his inflatable stand-up paddleboards. Joel fanboys about the Ryobi ONE+ battery power tool system, and they both dream about the eventuality of electric cars. They also discuss how to make good instructional videos for YouTube.

From the archives! This episode was recorded on May 18th, 2020 with a live "studio" audience, as part of the WLA's Coronavirus Relief Fund! The Hidden Node Podcast was part of 13 hours of continuous podcasting, all with a live audience on Zoom. As for the delay in posting it... yeah, sorry about that. Better late than never? Some of the conversation aged super well, and some of it didn't. We hope you enjoy this grab-bag of topics from ages ago.

Joel isn't sure whether he should use Google applications on his new iPhone. Joel is about to buy a new MacBook, which at the time had just reverted from the Butterfly keyboard to the old Magic keyboard. But Joel and Nick wonder, are they on the right track by only having laptops, or should they have desktop computers as well? Also, a quick update about Nick's 3D printer.

Bonus episode! Nick and Joel’s good friend, Ferney Munoz, has some questions about 3D printing. That means that for better or for worse (probably for worse), you’re getting another 3D printing episode! But seriously, Ferney is one of our favorite guys, and we were very excited to convince him to buy a Prusa MINI, and secondarily, answer his questions about 3D printing.

There’s also a part about ducks. It’s great.

As always, thanks a ton for joining us for these episodes. We’re absolutely thrilled that people want to join the conversation about this stuff. Thank you for listening!

It’s official, Joel has switched to iOS. There’s a lot to talk about, including AirPods, Apple Watch, and of course, Joel’s new iPhone SE. Joel and Nick struggle to remember the name of a flagship Google device, once again proving that they aren’t professional tech podcasters. Joel reminisces about Pebble smartwatches. Nick sounds like an iOS expert.

Nick's 3D printer is almost out for delivery! In preparation for this podcast-defining event, Nick and Joel iron out final 3D-printing details, including notes on 3D modeling, printing threaded holes, and various materials used in printing. To ensure maximum podcast excitement, they also discuss mouse support on iPadOS, the new Mac Mini from Dan Jones, and whether macOS should call it the "Trash" or the "Bin".
