I really like this format, it's like a mini WAN Show that stays on topic

[JarrodsTech]

2 is 100% higher than 1, I expect 100% performance boost with M2 over M1.

[YashAtishay]

I am a video editor and I work on a M1 macmini and as someone who lives in Mumbai, India I really appreciate a computer that doesn’t heat my room up every time I open final cut. Given how crazy hot it gets here during summer, the heat output makes a huge difference for me

[ritwikism]

Jonathan is our rich Apple fanboy friend. Riley is us going "all that sounds good, but have you seen that price tag"

[MaxRovensky]

Loved this discount WAN show. Do more of these!

[Dawn_Breaker]

I really appreciate the balanced audio between the two hosts.
So often on The WAN Show one of them (usually Linus) is way louder than the other which makes finding the right audio balance very difficult.

[aforty]

One of the more exciting WWDC’s in recent memory, a lot of great stuff announced.

[ATMG]

I am very thankful that there is now TalkLink, because I enjoy learning about the news in more depth.

[madcrowmaxwell]

I want to like Apple. The idea of efficient single-chip CPU/GPU combos is a world that I like WAY more than the whole "We'll boost power usage to 600 watts for an extra 5 fps" attitude present in the PC world. But those crazy up charges, especially for storage make it impossible.

[nathangoddard]

Jonathan's deep knowledge of Apple products, and hardware/software progression over the years, is amazing. I can see why he was added to the team and not at all surprised that Mac Address is doing so well.

[KentSpain]

Samsung Dex is an INCREDIBLE tool! I've been using it for years.

[CapnSlipp]

In-person WWDC events are so much better. Nothing beats being there amongst many of the devs in the Apple community who are normally spread all across the world, and everything that entails (quiet peanut-gallerying, hearing the buzz on which sessions are must-attend, making new friends over drinks after the day’s events, and after-shows & parties!)

I’ve been to WWDC only once (in 2007, as a student) and would definitely do again if they return to the old format.

I always love the TalkLinked episodes; super glad you guys are doing more of them

[erathemonologuer]

I love talklinked, more than even techlinked. Please keep making more of these.

Reference mode for the iPad and using the camera of an iPhone as a webcam on Mac is genius. If you're going to make excellent hardware, might as well use it whenever you can!

[triplebb]

I think the "copy text outof video" function is really cool.

[brunoadame]

The fact that the 2020 iPad Pro doesn’t support the “pro” features in iOS 16. Only 2 years of full support felt like apple spitting on those who trusted the previously stablished 4 - 7 years of support.

[greenxtian]

So Apple released a chip that's only slightly better, made the lock screen like Mi, and Samsung Dex for the iPad? And then they put the prices up.

[DSDSDS]

Apple is 90% just using 12GB chips. This is LPDDR, the same one you see in phones. 12 is not outrageous on those. The whole 2^N thing is mostly just normal DDR.

[SteffenThole]

The only reason I haven’t bought an iPad Pro yet is that there’s no support for Logic Pro. I am still using an Intel MacBook Pro from 2019 just for that one reason. I might even upgrade to an M2 MacBook Air to get faster and cooler performance, but I’d really love to have an iPad Pro because it’s very handy to use it for sheet music on a gig. Maybe I just have to have both, which would of course be what Apple tries to get me to do.
