It’s Glowfest USA 4000 time on Quasar With Fries!

That’s right, in this episode Wayne and Rich discuss Apple’s Glowtime iPhone event, filling you in on all the latest Apple products, and providing you with the takes you never knew you needed. We’ve got a rundown on the new Apple Watch Series 10 features and updates to the Apple Watch Ultra. Plus, the boys discuss the new AirPods 4 and all the awesome new hearing health features coming to AirPods Pro 2, including some insight on how useful those features can be in creative tasks. Finally, we dig into the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models with a discussion about how camera features have come to define the smartphone category, especially for creators whose workflows depend on their smartphone. The iPhone 16 Pro models should make for a solid upgrade for creators thanks to the new Camera Control button, 48MP sensors, and 4K 120 fps video. But it's not all Apple stuff. We've got a crazy new startup scheme to discuss as well. Apparently there's a company that will sell you sunlight at night via space mirrors. (Of course they have an app.) Also, there's a new ChatGPT bug where the AI starts impersonating the sound of your voice. We live in a Golden Age!

Dig in for all the details!

It’s a jam-packed new episode of Quasar with Fries! On this episode Rich and Wayne discuss Google’s latest and most controversial smartphones yet: the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. Is it cool or not cool that a phone can make it super easy to create deepfakes? We’ll discuss!

In this episode of Quasar with Fries, Rich and Wayne discuss the Google monopoly ruling and the inevitability of the world’s most powerful and prominent search engine. Will Google be broken up, waving goodbye to its Android business? Will the company have to share its data with rivals like Microsoft? What will happen to all the money it pays Apple every year? There are also rumors afoot of a teeny tiny new Mac mini from Apple that would shrink the size of this diminutive computer down to three size of an Apple TV—but powered by a M4 Pro chip! The boys also provide updates on the CrowdStrike Blue Screen of Death calamity as Delta points fingers at both CrowdStrike and Microsoft; the death of Chromecast, and much more. Get into it.

In the latest and—by far—best episode of Quasar with Fries Yet, Rich and Wayne discuss all the best memes, moments, and otherwise great content generated by the 33rd Games of the Summer Olympiad. They also dig in to some of the juiciest headlines out of Hollywood, discuss why comic book universe movies are meh (and some sequels in general), including news about Bob Dylan and Dr. Doom. Finally, the boys wrap things up with a look at the latest in AI, including the Apple Intelligence beta, and whether or not the market still has an appetite for AI investments.

In today's episode we talk about how CrowdStrike gave the whole IT world a CrowdStroke. We ponder the influence, the arguments and the heat around Artificial Intelligence enhancing or ruining art by possibly reducing organic abstract neurological impulses into binary programmable formatting fit for iRobot. Now that Nikon had acquired RED several months ago, will they finally begin the journey of integrating RED's Color Science into their own product line? Lastly, Wayne walks us through his experience using the M4 iPad Pro, DaVinci Resolve on iOS and the ability to now edit off of an external device (yay!).
