As a software engineer, this is fascinating! I literally gasped when you found the unit tests. That's the kind of nonsense I write all day!

[@TheBluePhoenix008]

Can you explain what they are?

[@Ambroos]

​@@TheBluePhoenix008 Unit tests are bits of code to test other code. If you are writing a function of code that is supposed to tell you if a number is even, and error if you give it something that is not a number at all, if your function would be something like "function isEven(input): boolean", the unit tests could look something like this: assertTrue(isEven(0)) assertTrue(isEven(2)) assertTrue(isEven(111485577108)) assertTrue(isEven(-2)) assertTrue(isEven(-0)) assertFalse(isEven(1)) assertFalse(isEven(-1)) assertFalse(isEven(99999999)) assertErrors(isEven("spaghetti")) assertErrors(isEven(cat)) You run through a bunch of possible test cases. In case someone later modifies the contents of isEven, the test cases will let you know if anything breaks unexpectedly. Real unit tests will usually test more complex functionality than this.

[@BFedie518]

​@@TheBluePhoenix008A unit test is a piece of code that tests exactly one thing in your program. Example: If you have a function that's supposed to add two numbers together, you could write a test that runs the function and checks if the result is correct. That particular example is simple to the point of uselessness, but as a program grows more complex you want to be able to quickly see that all of the individual pieces are still working. You would write a bunch of tests and run them all whenever you make a change to make sure a. Your change works b. You didn't break anything that was previously working You could also write the tests before you actually write the program. That's called "test-driven development." You know exactly when your code is working because it'll pass the test. It gives a specific goal to work towards.

[@helplmchoking]

@@TheBluePhoenix008 It's code that basically runs the normal code and checks it against a bunch of expectations. If I have a function that doubles a number it's given, I can have a test that runs it a few times with a bunch of numbers and checks the function outputs the right answer each time. It makes sure the code works as expected, and means that if something breaks that function down the line then you'll know as soon as the tests run

Unit tests are pieces of code that test functions/pieces of code that will be in the final software. Once the function is written, a test can be written and if the test succeeds and fails when it needs to, you can rely on it from then on. You can then make performance/resource improvements to functions and run the unit tests that will tell you if any as well as which functions got messed up and no longer have the intended behavior.

The 1969 crash is probably to do with the fact that all devices measure time with seconds since 1st January 1970 (it's called Unix time) and there used to be a very prolific bug with the iPhones where you could push the date and time before then which would loop it back to like the year 100M.

Hey! I know a thing or two about iOS. That means I can attempt to infer what most of the demos are: - CoreMotionTest - its purpose is obvious. The name comes from the CoreMotion framework. - CooLTool - it looks like this is about location positioning/triangulation for each antenna, given the icon and the “latlong” in the detail for each header. - IAPViewer - In-App Purchase viewer. The red text at the top right refers to the in-app purchase daemon, iapd. Doesn’t look like there’s a way to add anything, so maybe it’s just a list of all IAPs or a log viewer? - FigCam - “fig” appears to refer to the front-facing/back-facing combo setup. Hopefully I’m remembering that right. Basically, early version of the iPhone 4 camera app. - FlyTrap - not entirely sure, but given the name and the Quick Bug tab (which has a cell with the title “Localization Issues”), I’m guessing it tests for common code oversights by automating scenarios - GameKitTester - you’re right: GameKit is the underlying framework for Game Center. - CompareTable... - I seriously have no idea. Unless it’s short for CompareTableViews, in which case it might be for testing table view data source sorting? I have no idea - KeyRecorder: I have only the name to go on, but maaaaaaybe it’s for hardware keyboard testing? - KeyboardTester - almost certainly for hardware keyboard testing - Magneto - magnetometer tester - MemoryMunch - uses up memory at a steady rate, probably to test if apps handle limited resources correctly - Onword - GameKit demo app - Radar - bug tracker used by Apple - SwitchBoard - *should* boot into SwitchBoard, lol - Tanks - multiplayer matchmaking GameKit demo - Touch Fighter - gyro and GameKit demo SwitchBoard is a barebones OS meant for *hardware* testing :)

I relate to Frank too much. I got Blu Rays to watch and games to play on ever-decaying hardware and I just lie down in bed and stare at the mess of water bottles and coffee cans that my computer desk has become.

[@Skellington-0]

I feel that.

Did you know you have clinical depression and need to see a doctor

[@BigNerdSam]

@@thecianinator I live in America, I can't afford that.

@@BigNerdSam Well that fucking sucks. May you soon land a job with benefits (or in a better country)!

My absolute favorite part about these (except Frank cameos) is the text in the video. Both jokes and info are in them, what else do you need?

[@dominateeye]

1:22 the single most exciting frame of any DankPods video ever

[@justexisting8457]

Oh boy I remember the iPod with the camera on the middle, an absolute piece of history

[@meemo_bear]

WOO BABY! 7 DAYS IS TOO LONG!

[@BinglesP]

My first ever mobile device was an iPod Touch. It's very rare that I get a 'nostalgia trip'(as in the actual kind of nostalgia) from watching a KZbin video, but this was one of the few times where it really happened. Meshing with the excitement I get when I get to see prototypes and development versions of things, this was an amazing watch, even by DankPods standards, in my opinion. /g

[@TheBurkleeJackson]

9:13 honestly sounds like the beginning of the rugrats theme ripoff

[@Haydunk]

“Immediately off topic” It’s when you see that you know it’s a good video

[@duckledin6714]

11:37 that youtube logo hit me with nostalgia. Idk if that was an ipod thing but damn.

[@CJAM2025Official]

Uh huh I see, Cydia. It's been jailbroken. That's funny.

I'm having a bad day today. I failed my test and I'm pretty sure the score will make retake another semester but uncle dankpods just uploaded. uncle dankpods always makes me smile. thank you weird uncle

[@johnreich1878]

~6:00 my guess for that iPod is that it's not running iOS but using a custom Linux OS that the dev team made for that iPod.

Gonna use the fact i'm early to say this: Dank please talk about equalizers in audio equipment, you haven't touched that subject once even though they can help with making many low quality boomy headphones sound fine when you bump up the high end and diminish the low end making them sound more flat, i find that equalizers are oftenly ignored by the more audiophile community

[@liamgbooth]

7:53 31st December 1969 is exactly one day before the start of Unix computer time. So it might be a reference to a before Unix time crash fix they were working on?

[@oscarwang7227]

1:48 damn it i accidentally fixed an ipod again. Happens too often

Seeing those old apps reminds me of 2013-early 2014. Seeing the "Slide to unlock" really hit my nostalgia brain

[@niconicokneecaps9950]

9:01 that’s creepy lol

[@CrayCrayslab]

HA! Just when I thought I was going to sleep! Screw that, there's a new dankpods video to watch (and the after show as well ;)

[@MacintoshUser]

Dankpods is what keeps me liking iPods

[@CybershamanX]

(7:05) That teapot is the first thing that was ever modelled in 3D on a computer way back in the day. (70s?) It's sort of an in joke in 3D modelling circles these days.
