Welcome to another episode of tech Talk Radio. 5 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:14.839 I'm Andy Taylor, I'm Sean. 6 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:16.719 De Weird, and Sean is over work today. 7 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.920 Well, I mean you text me earlier the day say hey, 8 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:22.920 you're good for a show tonight. Yeah, And I said 9 00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.440 I'll get home around ten thirty or eleven o'clock my time. 10 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.280 Yes, you're three hours ahead of me. 11 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.119 Yeah, I mean that makes sense and I like to 12 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:34.640 be up late anyways. But yeah, so I work all 13 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:35.880 day and then Andy makes me do. 14 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.520 A show and you've been doing tech all day? What 15 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:38.920 kind of stuff have you've been doing all day? 16 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.280 So we had we had a soccer soccer game on 17 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.799 the AC network. 18 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.560 Oh okay, cool, But we. 19 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.920 Also did the first ever Spanish simulcast, so we actually 20 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.320 had we actually had two student announcers broadcast the game 21 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.000 in Spanish in tandem with the game on a ACC network. 22 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.879 So it was a really great effort and it was 23 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.239 really good. It turned out really well, and it's going 24 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.840 to serve a really good fan base that supports snurnameed 25 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.000 Soccer right, and the students were the ones that came 26 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.719 up with the idea. They approached us that we want 27 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:18.760 to do this. We got some produce, We got a 28 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:23.359 producer involved and he worked with the Romance language department, 29 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.799 the Spanish department, and they came up with the show. 30 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.200 So they did they did their they did their own 31 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.400 separate broadcast for the soccer game. 32 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.079 Now, how does that work audio wise for the viewer? 33 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.680 Like, is that you do it on a sub channel 34 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.400 or you do it on a you know, left channel. 35 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.200 These were actually two separate streams, right, so you can 36 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.840 either watch you can either watch it in English with 37 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.319 all of the accouterments, or you could watch it in 38 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.040 Spanish with all So basically, the way you break it 39 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.319 down is that the a SEC Network show is you 40 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.159 just get a what they call clean feed of what 41 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.799 they're what they're showing, meaning no graphics, no overlays, no fonts, 42 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.000 no lower thirds, etcetera, et cetera, and then you just 43 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.039 take that clean feed and add your announcers and your 44 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.439 own graphics. Wow, it was a cool thing we tried, 45 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:15.840 and I think it's going to continue. So that's what 46 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.560 I went in. Uh, worked on that for about ten 47 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:19.439 hours today. 48 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.840 So ten hours that's a long side between between. 49 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.240 Between set up and prep. And you know, there's I 50 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.159 have to be there five hours before the game starts, right, 51 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.280 because I was in a couple a little bit longer 52 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.240 than that to help get the you know, I was 53 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.319 supporting both shows, so I had to be there for 54 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:37.520 an extended period of time today. 55 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.759 But when you do like a sports broadcast, are you 56 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.599 going out even though it's you know, the same same stadium, 57 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.479 are you going at setting up the cameras? 58 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.800 Like, actually, are they already set up? And you susta. 59 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.879 It depends, right, It depends on if we have other 60 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:53.680 events during the week that we need the equipment for. 61 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.199 If we don't, like we have another game this coming Friday, 62 00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.080 we did not strike. We just powered them down, covered 63 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.400 them up, put an overnight cover at them, tied them 64 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.000 down so they'll stay out in the elements, but they're 65 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.039 covered and protected. It depends. So there's some week, there's 66 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.120 some time coming up where we have a volleyball game 67 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.560 on Thursday, a soccer game in hockey on Friday, volleyball 68 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.520 and hockey on Saturday, and then soccer on Sunday. Right, 69 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.159 So we have to move a bunch of stuff around 70 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.000 for all that stuff. So it's just a lot of logistics. 71 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.319 So you go out, you come home, and you've got 72 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.879 something that is did this this come in today? Because 73 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:34.919 I can't believe you haven't opened this yet. 74 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.159 It came in over the weekend, all right, So but 75 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:40.680 you're just gonna you're gonna. 76 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:41.800 Mention it on the show, and so we can of 77 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.879 course tonight. So it came across I think I saw 78 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:51.000 it on Reddit, right, And I like Christmas ornaments. I 79 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.319 have a lot of nerdy Christmas elements Christmas ornaments, and 80 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:55.039 so is Caitlin. 81 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.039 Let's be fair, Sean.

But again, one 203 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:21.039 just one model off or one version off can really 204 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.600 affect how that's gonna work when it comes. It takes 205 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.240 all three of these, by the way, all three batteries. 206 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.440 Yeah, there's three batteries.

We can talk about something 213 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:43.879 else we want to too. 214 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.799 No, the first big game for the Xbox would have 215 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.080 been exactly Halo, wouldn't it. 216 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.200 I mean I would think, yeah, I mean Halo was 217 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.519 the big one. I don't I didn't have an x 218 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.000 original Xbox for a long time, right, I was a 219 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.720 PlayStation boy for really long time. 220 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:01.279 Yeah. 221 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:01.679 Uh. 222 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.360 The the evolution of my gaming consoles was our parents 223 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.519 told us, if you want a PlayStation, you have to 224 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.080 sell your Nintendo. Oh wow, really, So at the art sale, 225 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.360 we sold all of our Nintendo Nintendo games, like our 226 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.159 original Nintendo Nintendo games, on a PlayStation that was, you know, 227 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:19.919 the PlayStation. You have to remember, it's crazy because you 228 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:24.200 don't think that the PlayStation and the six Nintendo sixty 229 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.759 four came out at the same time, but they did, right, right. 230 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.679 So we had sold most of our Nintendo stuff, our 231 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.879 play Nintendo, our antend you know, Super Nintendo, and most 232 00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.960 of the things that we had with those for a 233 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.039 PlayStation because that's what just what we wanted. Okay, so 234 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.360 the matters are going and plus plus plus plus plus 235 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:43.039 this way. 236 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.440 We need to hear how the speaker sounds in this 237 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.759 unboxing on the radio. 238 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.360 Normally they I hope I'm hoping that it works me too. 239 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.279 That would be if it didn't. 240 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.960 Yeah, my evolution when it came to that is, well, 241 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.840 you have the TRS eighty uh, which is really a computer. 242 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.720 But when it came to the console stuff, we had 243 00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:11.799 the Sega Dreamcast, we had the uh PlayStation, the original PlayStation, 244 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.399 and burglars broke into the house and they stole that, 245 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:21.200 stole the kids games, and then uh Xbox one I. 246 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:22.120 Think that was the Xbox. 247 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.200 Xbox one was the after no, the Xbox three sixty 248 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.240 and now have the Xbox one. I'm waiting to upgrade 249 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.039 the Xbox that I currently have, but. 250 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.279 I just don't. I really don't have you all right, 251 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:33.960 I'm ready to all Right, here we go. 252 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.519 It's hard. It's kind of hard. It's not super loud, but. 253 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.440 You're gonna have to get twenty of those. There's nothing. 254 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.840 I can't hear a thing, nothing on it. Does it 255 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.519 light up at least yep? 256 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:46.120 Don't hear it? 257 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.480 Well it might, it might be confusing it for like 258 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.480 background noise. This is kind of that. It's kind of 259 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.480 in that range of. 260 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.000 Like right now, does it light up like the Xbox logo? Okay? 261 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.679 Yes, oh I can't, I can't And trying to get 262 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:05.000 it to show. Yeah, it lights up, all right. Maybe 263 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.000 you could record it and then it plays the Halo theme. 264 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.240 You could record it and send it to us the theme, 265 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.600 and then we could pop it onto the blog. 266 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.919 It's basically playing the menu theme from the Halo the 267 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.519 Halo game, which is pretty impressive. 268 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.519 That is cool. I think I did hear it just 269 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:20.519 a second ago. 270 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.679 Yeah, but I think it's in that frequency range, Like 271 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.519 it's kind of a in the middle of the in 272 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.360 the middle of the aisle frequency range, right, So Zoom's 273 00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.519 probably like this is garbage, cut it out. It's probably 274 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.240 auto canceling. 275 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.799 It's a if you're looking for a gift for somebody 276 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:41.480 that is somewhat tech savvy the or likes gaming. 277 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:43.440 Or just somebody that likes gaming.

The price apparently has come 291 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.600 down on the Apple pencil. What is the Apple pencil? 292 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:27.559 And and like who would actually use this device? 293 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.120 So my mom actually uses the Apple pencil a right, 294 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.200 she uses it to use her eye. She can use 295 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.960 it on her iPad and she uses all tons of 296 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:42.559 functions on it to draw, to doodle, to do work 297 00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.279 on erase. I mean, you can control there are certain 298 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.919 functions on your iPad. So if you're a big iPad user, 299 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.159 the Apple pencils pretty legit. 300 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.120 So basically it's like it's a stylist then, right, I 301 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:55.720 mean that's it. 302 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.240 Yeah, but it's got it's a it's a stylist for Apple. 303 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.960 I mean, I don't in describe it.

Right, 306 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.200 So it's like if you are if you're a digital artist, 307 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:18.759 you can use it like your style is for a 308 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.399 WAKEM tablet or something like that. 309 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.519 So yeah, yeah, because I have the walk Them tablets, 310 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:26.519 I've got those and I've used those, and I've saw 311 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.200 Apple pencil, but I couldn't really understand, and nothing really 312 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.480 just said what it did. I think they just assumed everybody, 313 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.440 you know, And I thought to myself, well, is this 314 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:37.240 the kind of device that you could put on a 315 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.000 you know, a piece of paper and start writing with 316 00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:44.039 it and it'll translate that writing onto a you know, 317 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.360 computer program, because we've seen those are out there, Those 318 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.799 are available, and you can find those where you can 319 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.600 write with a pen. A Logitech I think has one. 320 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:55.320 You write with a pen and on a blank piece 321 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.759 of paper and just your your handwrite and it'll translate 322 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.200 what you're writing into you you don't have a keyboard 323 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.399 or whatnot, into the computer. So then you can manipulate 324 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.360 that text edited. 325 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:08.559 Yeah, the whole bit. So I just asked chat gpt 326 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.200 to give me a kind of a breakdown of the 327 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:15.200 features on the Apple pencil. The features are precision, so 328 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.919 it has pressure sensitivity so you can draw thin lines, 329 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:23.200 fat lines, wide lines, short lines, et cetera. Tilt sensitivity 330 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:27.240 so you can get shading techniques based on like the 331 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.120 angle your pencil is, so if you were trying to 332 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:33.360 shade wider strokes or something like if you're doing pencil 333 00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:39.600 drawings latency, so like no lag, very latency, palm rejection. 334 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.000 So while you're using the Apple pencil, you can have 335 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.720 your palm on the screen and it won't erase or 336 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.759 move things on the screen. 337 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.440 That's helpful. 338 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.639 Yeah, it identifies that, Hey, I'm using the Apple pencil. 339 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:51.639 My palm is, you know, if I'm right handed or 340 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:52.200 left handed. 341 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:52.480 Right. 342 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.159 People that are left handed can draw on here without 343 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.080 having an interfere with things they're writing as they're writing 344 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.759 from left to right right or you know, erasing things 345 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.759 as you're writing from left right if you right handed right. 346 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.159 So yeah, so it's it's just it's just it's another 347 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.759 tool to use with your with your iPad that can 348 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.799 allow you to get some more creative pencil funk pencil 349 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:14.519 like functions. 350 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.399 Does it pretty much work with all of the different 351 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:20.399 iPads that are out there? I wonder if it's only 352 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.279 the newer ones. 353 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.879 The first pencil was released in November twenty fifteen, works 354 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:32.919 with older iPad models iPad Air, third generation, six to 355 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.759 ninth generation iPads and fifth generation or later iPad Minis 356 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:39.960 all right and the second generation of the pencil was 357 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.120 released November eighth.

His name is Edward Berger, and he made 372 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.200 the movie If You Saw All Quiet on the Western Front, 373 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.319 not the original, the remake. And there's a movie coming 374 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.240 out on next month I think called Conclave. But it's 375 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.960 a short film and it gives you the ability, while 376 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.359 you're wearing the vision pro to be in certain scenarios 377 00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:54.039 such as going underwater or flying through the air or 378 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.720 being in a you know, an action sequence, and it 379 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:01.920 will be available inside the Apple TV app. Better of fact, 380 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.920 it was made available I believe earlier this week on Thursday. 381 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.720 So if you want to check out the you know, 382 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.319 if you don't have the Vision Pro but you kind 383 00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:12.279 of want to see what they kind of do and 384 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:14.839 it will give you an idea of the immersion that 385 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.880 you can go to. You can check out the trailer. 386 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.839 It's available on YouTube. Just do a search for a 387 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.160 submerged trailer. 388 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.400 I will say that if you're claustrophobic, you might not 389 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:26.119 want to watch this. 390 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.039 No, yeah, those it takes place I think on a submarine. 391 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:32.000 Yeah, it takes place on a submarine, so you're in 392 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:37.319 tight spaces underwater. Just from what I've seen quickly, it 393 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.640 doesn't necessarily look like something I would want to watch, yeah, 394 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:42.880 or be part of, or be part of in an 395 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:44.920 immersive world where it feels like it feels like you're 396 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.839 trapped underwater. 397 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.200 Yeah, if you're gonna thank you, Yeah, that's probably a 398 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.160 good thing over there. Now, That's that's something that you know, 399 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:55.839 Apple is really kind of going head first into. Now, 400 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.880 we want to create content for Vision Pro users that 401 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.799
