| 0:00.0 | All right, just before we kick into the event stuff, I just have one little follow-up |
| 0:04.5 | correction to mention on last week's episode. I said that predictive code completion |
| 0:09.3 | and X-code requires 16 gigabytes of RAM. That is no longer the case. Thank you to someone who |
| 0:15.8 | messaged in as of beta 3 X code beta 3 which came in like in July they actually |
| 0:21.0 | changed it so it actually works on all max now so even if you have an 8 gig a |
| 0:24.9 | silicon Mac you can do predictive code completion in X code I don't know why they |
| 0:29.2 | didn't make a big deal about bigger deal about this because it completely passed |
| 0:32.2 | me by because when it shipped like the first |
| 0:34.5 | couple of baters there was like a big like alert dialogue if you hovered over it be like |
| 0:38.6 | this requires 16 gigabytes of RAM and then they obviously sorted it out so from the August builds of the new X code you don't actually have |
| 0:47.1 | a 16 gigabyte minimum requirement anymore so maybe they are going to carry on with 8 gigabytes |

| 1:05.0 | then rewatching it yesterday. I thought it was pretty standard for these digital |
| 1:09.6 | video Apple events that we've had for the past four years. If anything, there were some good surprises, you know, with features that we'll talk about coming |
| 1:17.0 | to existing products, coming to older products, coming to both the Pro and the non-Prophones. |
| 1:21.0 | But a lot of people seem to think that it just wasn't Apple's best work and that the updates that we got are confusing and not the best for most users. |
| 1:31.0 | What do you think about? What do you think? |
| 1:33.0 | Yeah, there was a lot of commentary of negativity on like Apple's making too many skews, they're making a more confusing |
| 1:40.8 | lineup. But this, everything they announced yesterday was just replacing |
