The keynote for WWDC has come and gone and holy frijoles was there lots of goodies to digest. Many of which we’ll go over in the next section. The biggest surprise is the new features of Siri in which Apple is trying to improve it instead of taking their cues from the old Ford Model T in which you can ask it anything and receive the answer you want, as long as that answer is here are some weblinks.

Last show Guy contemplated getting another Mac mini. Well he didn’t do that but instead took the advice that I and every other person with two brain cells to rub together told him to do when the M1 MacBook Pro he ALREADY had was thrown into the mix. Which was to use THAT as the dedicated podcast computer he thinks he needs. We’ll talk a bit about how that project is going and what he’s accomplished so far…which may be not much

After last show’s debacle, Guy is seriously considering getting a dedicated computer for podcasting. Wouldn’t have to be super fancy and would have minimal connections to cloud computing and phones (which is what set off the failure last week). Just software related to podcasting like DAWs and browser-based video/audio software and hardware like audio interfaces for microphones.

Some say it was going to be the longest Apple event EVER. Turns out it was just under 40 minutes, but probably closer to 35 if you take off the fancy intro. So what’s the takeaway? Size matters, pencils gone pro, and iPads get first dibs on chips. Also the show went completely bananas as practically every audio program we were using blew up all at the same time.

It took a few weeks but Nintendo has slapped down a staggering 8535 DMCA take down orders against a bunch of Git Hub repositories hosting older games for the Yuzu Switch emulator. A good portion of these games will never be pushed toward future platforms but it’s Nintendos (legal) bat and (legal) ball and they’re going home.

Mark your calendars for May 7th which is the next Apple event. Nothing concrete on what they’ll be releasing but having an Apple Pencil in the announcements graphic just MIGHT be a clue. David Ginsburg of In Touch with iOS Podcast fame joins Guy in a podcast that Guy had audio issues with, well for nearly the entire recording...sigh
