Summary

A lot happened this week! First, the crew falls down a rabbit hole discussing the Subaru UI and volume knobs before jumping right into all of the new Apple devices that were released. Then they talk about the Honor robot phone, Ray-Ban Meta privacy issues, and Google's 30% Play Store tax. They wrap it up by explaining the Bam Adebayo record breaking performance in tech terms.

I'm going to prove to them that they're wrong. She's punishing me. You destroyed my family. I will not rest until I've destroyed yours. A woman of substance on Channel 4 starts tonight at 9. Hold on, I'm pulling up the Heat Wizards box score so I can be. Heat Wizards? Don't worry about it. That's exactly where you need school Minecraft. It's the new Formula One team. That's where you need to be. Is this wow? Yeah. I'm a heat wizard and wow. Yeah, what is up? People of the Internet. Welcome back to another episode of the Wayform podcast. We're your host. I'm Marquez.

1:13.4

I'm Andrew. I'm David. In this episode, we've got, let's see, fast food chains using AI. Cool.

1:19.9

We've got a robot phone that maybe exists, but maybe not. Cool. We've got Rayban meta glasses. If you're using them, then maybe you shouldn't. Cool. And Google is changing their 30% tax. Cool. Pretty cool. Oh, and basketball stuff. Google had a 30% tax aren't like developers? Yeah. Same as Apple. It was the same as Apple? Why was everyone so mad at Apple? We've got right at 45 stories. I know. The whole thing was that everyone was like, no, Google's one is cheaper and fine, but Apple's is a problem. No, no, no, no, no. Google both got sued for the same things and Google lost an Apple one. I thought Google sued. What? Speaking as a- Apple lost some parts of it, but Google lost more.

2:01.6

Yeah.

2:02.6

They don't have the same reputation.

2:04.6

That is facts.

2:05.6

Yeah.

2:06.6

Well, that's because Google had a chain of emails saying help.

2:09.6

Anyway, continue.

2:11.6

Make sure you delete these.

2:13.6

And then some basketball stuff at the end.

2:16.6

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Cool. All right, but first, did they even test this? Okay. I have a really quick, really stupid one. All right. But it drives me insane every day. It drives me insane every day. Sorry. No, I mean, no, it's your thing. My Forrester. The volume UI is horrible.

2:36.2

It's the worst thing ever.

2:37.5

I'll be really fast on this.

2:38.9

Go on because a lot of cars have surprisingly bad volume UI.

2:42.8

You change the volume.

2:43.9

Takes up the entire screen.

2:45.4

No matter what's on the screen.

2:46.9

Google Maps.

2:48.4

Have you ever been needing to take a turn so you turn the volume down just to make sure it's easier to take the turn? I don't know why that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You see better. For sure. Well, if you do that too close to your turn on my car, I've lost Google Maps now for like five seconds. It's a full screen takeover. Oh, my God. The volume is a full screen takeover? It's a full screen takeover. For how long? It is like kind of transparent for probably a couple seconds. Like liquid glass? It's not like liquid glass. That is actually true. This is me changing the volume on my. That is crazy. Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. Let me tell you why you're wrong, okay?

3:24.4

Because it's a volume knob, right? Uh-huh. Oh, that's the next part of my problem. When your hand is on the knob, you can't see the knob. So how do you know what the volume set at? So you need it full screen. No, he's done. Yeah, you do. That's what I'm saying. No, everyone else, your hand is covering it.

3:40.9

On the screen, it should be a little bar on the side that goes up and down with a number next to it and not take up the entire screen because I need the volume quiet when I'm making my turn. Yeah. And now I've lost being able to see that. The other problem is it's a full circle. Wait, wait, real quick. Brits, stop commenting right now. No, keep commenting. This is all for engagement.
