0:00.0 | You know, I'm actually in a good mood, but I'm a little bit sad. I feel like I want something interesting from Apple this June and I don't know we're gonna get it and I'm scared and I'm scared. We'll talk about it next week, but I just wanted to get that off my chest. |
0:11.9 | Honestly, I, well, I guess we should save this topic for next week, but I'm happy to talk about it now if you want. |
0:17.6 | No, no, we should save it. We can do a teaser. We can do a teaser as they say in the case. |
0:21.3 | This week, Marco does not have a teaser. The teaser is right now. We want so badly to talk about what we expect from WDC in two weeks, but we still don't know anything. |
0:30.0 | So we don't know what to expect. So it's kind of interesting, kind of a little bit, maybe antsy or anxious because it's like so far. |
0:37.4 | It seems like what we're getting is nothing, but we know that's probably not the case, which may be good, but we have that conversation a couple of shows ago. |
0:44.1 | So everybody go learn something before next week. |
0:47.5 | John Kitt writes, there was a question posed on the show by John, which is roughly, would either of you ever configure one of your electronics to tell you to stop using it? |
0:58.3 | To which Marco, you said no. Also, Marco, two years ago, you released an app called Twitter to tell to have your computer tell you to stop doing things. |
1:06.4 | So would you like to justify that you have changed your mind or have nuanced thoughts sometime in the last two years? |
1:14.2 | None of my electronics are Twitter. |
1:17.8 | Fair enough. I don't know. This is something that's been bothering me lately. And I think John was John Kitt that is was saying this ingest, like I don't think he was trying to be a big jerk about it. |
1:30.6 | But something that's bothered me lately that I've only really started thinking about in the last year or two is people aren't allowed to change their minds. |
1:40.3 | And that seems funky to me. Like if I get more information about something, I should be allowed to change my mind. If I think about something more, I should be allowed to change my mind, who's stopping you from changing your mind? |
1:52.1 | I don't know. It's just I feel like, like let's say for the sake of discussion. And I would never do this because it's barbaric. Let's say I decided that GIF is actually pronounced GIF. It clearly isn't everyone agrees that it isn't. But let's just say for the sake of discussion that I changed my mind and started calling it peanut butter. I mean started calling it GIF. |
2:09.4 | That should theoretically be okay. I mean, except for the fact that it's clearly wrong, but leaving that aside, the fact that I changed my mind should be okay. |
2:19.5 | But I feel like people would have a fit about it. |
2:21.6 | But now your friends would help you through this difficult time and bring you back to the correct pronunciation eventually. So that's what friends do. |
2:29.7 | That was probably I'm doing this antagonistically, obviously. That was probably a poor example. But I don't know like take BMW's. I was head over heel and love with my in love with my BMW. |
2:38.8 | I'm going to give you when I first got it spoiler alert. We're going to talk about this later, but it's broken again. Who knew? |
2:46.3 | So sorry. I shouldn't laugh. Like I laugh like the same way it's funny. Like whenever you destroy a computer by look with like only happened to one computer. |
2:55.1 | I shouldn't be laughing because my friend is losing money. But like, you know, it's it's still kind of funny. At this point, it is funny. It really is. But in any case, you know, but I was head over heels in love with my BMW. |
