Loose Rants

Finally, it’s here, you’ve waited all these countless minutes for it. Our Aquaman review, the newest and probably the best DC movie to be made (I probably said second best in the podcast, but I changed my mind).

Along the way we also refer to other comic book movies to illustrate where DC has gone wrong.

We also, sorry, Adam wants to remind me about rule 34 and make you aware of it. It’s a thing.

In this episode, just as we’re about to talk about Aquaman, I decided to talk about Apple tech even though we didn’t want to. We discussed the ridiculousness in their pricing, the justification as well of such pricing, and some other clever phones I’ve seen. We’re pretty up to date for once. Except for discussing Aquaman. That’s episode #64.

In this episode we discuss the new design of the podcast cover art, JPG is no more and the high visibility on iTunes wasn’t doing us any favours because ‘JPG’ has hardly nothing to do with photography. Now we’re ‘Loose Rants’.

I balanced the elements partly based on gender, but mostly because we didn’t want to get called out for being mesogginnistic by #triggered individuals. We have female forms of inspiration, and we discuss it as we go off on tangents about the new design I slaved away on for two days. It’s because of those two days we’re devoting another 25 minutes to the design and then we’re moving on.

Episode also include tangents about user handles and the absurdity of having a username as the unique identifier.

NOTE: This wasn’t the planned episode for episode 61, podcast explains why, if you’re reading this, JPG_Podcast is also now called Loose Rants, Adam and Jonathan are the same two people hosting it.

In this episode I share my quick thoughts on an interesting screen protector for the iPad. You may have seen the dozen YouTube adverts about it, Paper Like, which imitates the surface of paper to better fit with the Apple pencil.

In this episode I figure from now on it’s a win on all fronts if I only buy second hand iPhones from now on, not only to save money, but also to do my part for the environment. How am I saving my environment, with the packaging, but of course, “it’s just 1 box of iPhone unnecessary extras”, said 200 million iPhone users.

This episode takes a cue from my new Zero Waste podcast where I’m considering the environmental cost of the decisions I make but with the technology (I love talking about) we have today at our disposal, that’s in total abundance.

In this episode I half rant and half celebrate a very first world problem. Living with and living without the W1 chip. Apple created this problem, but I think they also solved it.

Hello, I’m all on my Jacky Jones in this episode. Does anybody even listen anymore? FML.

Anyway, I talk to myself and to an imaginary audience for 40 minutes about the newly released iPad Pro 2018 because I bought one and have used it for a month and I’m sharing my expertise with you. I have already done it for the YouTube channel and I couldn’t include everything there, so you get the extra talking from me here.

I share the pros and cons with owning one, making the transition from Apple Pro apps to iPad apps NOT created by Apple.

I also go off on a 2 minute rant towards the end, I’m impressed with myself actually. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
