| 0:00.0 | Have you guys noticed that this is the 1000 day anniversary of the Mac Pro? |
| 0:06.0 | God, do we really have to talk about that? I'm already all fired up. |
| 0:08.6 | This is the longest Mac Pro has ever gone. Although, if you count the 2012 as really just the 2010, |
| 0:15.1 | which I would, that actually is a longer span than this. That was like 1100. But if you count them |
| 0:21.2 | separately, the way Apple released them, this is the longest span by a good margin. Yay, happy birthday, |
| 0:26.8 | Mac Pro or something. Was it you that was tweeting the other day that like, you were talking about |
| 0:33.7 | next spring or something because you thought they weren't going to update the Mac Pro until they |
| 0:37.2 | get the sky like e in it. Whatever happened to them, just using the chips that are available, |
| 0:41.3 | now you've given up on that now too. We can barely get them to use anything. The last thing they're |
| 0:46.8 | going to do is use a 6 month old chip. I mean, they're going to either wait a 6 month old chip |
| 0:50.4 | is practically new in a 3 year old computer. That's true. But if this is Apple, we're talking about. |
| 0:55.1 | Apple, the wind could blow the wrong direction one day, better delay the Mac Pro again for |
| 0:59.4 | other generation. I don't know. If my poor computer is going to make it that long, I don't know if I |
| 1:04.3 | can wait until mid to late 2017. If I had to take a guess, if they're truly waiting on |
| 1:11.9 | sky like e and they're going to do an update then, knowing Intel and also these days, knowing Apple |
| 1:17.0 | with the Mac, I'm guessing that is not even a spring release. I'm guessing that's June 2016 |
| 1:21.9 | or 2017. I'm guessing that's a WBC release. Yeah, I know. I saw that. I was like next |
| 1:27.0 | WBC. No, I just Apple just released it with whatever was available now and in her GPU. |
| 1:35.0 | So let's dig in starting with Zach Woldowski. Doing what Marco wants with Windows is possible. |
| 1:40.2 | Windows 8 and up supported deployment method called Windows to go. I don't care. Moving on, |
| 1:46.0 | I was 10 home button behavior. This has been less of a cluster than I expected. |
| 1:51.9 | So it used to be that on iOS 9, you would pick up your phone and the screen would not turn on. |
