| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Appetider podcast. I'm William Gallagher. Our sponsors this week are Claude by Anthropic, Nord Stella, by Nord Security and Udacity. More about them later. Now, I am joint as ever by Wesley Hillyard, |
| 0:23.4 | and I'm not going to say that he has brought me over to the dark side. I remain a mac obsessive, |

| 1:32.5 | Is it, where can I find this button? |
| 1:37.2 | Yeah, that's why I was asking you, because isn't it amazing? The two of us don't seem to care about |
