David continuously calling WP Engine "WordPress Engine" when a big part of the allegations is they abuse that trademark/brand is hilarious.

[@budadams412]

LOL, this is actively stressing me out. Haha it’s “W P Engine” 😁

[@TheAriznPremium]

its soooo funny after watching the interviews with matt

[@SamuelMukoti]

That was too funny! But David didn't do the story justice and we should note that Wordpress has the GPL license which is legally binding and requires companies to give back. Secondly, most founders of large open source projects have a for profit arm that funds the development and keeps the project alive - that is not new.

[@photomatt]

That was so funny. :)

[@mcmadness110]

@@SamuelMukotiI thought they had to give back only if they developed new code using it.

[@hunterschultz257]

1:10:05 I have the Stiletto TiBone 15 and after swinging it, I do in fact know what being God feels like. Most hammers are made of steel and lose about 30% of their power when you hit the nail (which goes through your arm). Titanium only loses about 3% of their power which means my 15oz titanium hammer swings with the power of a 22oz steel hammer and is obviously significantly lighter which helps with arm fatigue. After picking it up for the first time I was like “no way this works” and after hitting my first nail, I am now God

[@BeyMaster0609]

what makes this whole wordpress spaghetti more funny is that david calls WP Engine Wordpress Engine, however WP in WP engine doesn't stand for wordpress, and this naming was one of the starting factors of the whole drama lol

[@skygaz3r]

That is next level messy!

[@corvacopia]

They pretend it doesn’t stand for Wordpress

[@MarkHawk]

As someone who spent the last year working on The Wild Robot, I'm mildly disappointed with David's take on it. Summing it down to that it's bad for me because it's a kids movie when at it's heart it's focused on the struggles of raising a child and letting them go into the world, it's unfortunate to hear his view just stayed on "but it's for kids". I'm not saying he has to like it, that's fine. I just expected David, as being someone who is behind the lens compositing shots all the time that I'm surprised he saw it from such a narrow perspective. My response doesn't take everything he said into consideration fairly, but its a personal bummer to me as I thought the final project was beautiful for all ages. But art is subjective and in the eye of the viewer.

[@bethanyharrison3310]

Based on many of the comments I've seen defending how actually the movie was deeply meaningful and layered for accessibility to such a broad audience, I absolutely plan on seeing it in theater with my young children soon. And like... We never go to the theater. So somewhat ironically, his narrow take has led to lots of lovely insights from commenters that (I hope) more accurately represent the film's reception.

[@ummon]

You made something amazing that for me hit in the exactly the way you intended and I've recommended to tons of friends and their kids.

[@TrAnMu]

I watched this movie as a full adult and I also hard disagree with it being just for kids.

Dude wtf, the wild Robot was amazing It was also clearly directed towards adult mothers, and the central theme was DEATH

[@lordnamizeka]

@@Aeleas333 tbf David's not the target audience then either

[@ThatLaloBoy]

I was also thinking "Did we watch the same film?" He said it was a cheerful, happy movie where all the animals work together with no "gripping story". I thought it was a really good movie with multiple themes. And death was pretty predominant throughout the film, both in lighthearted and dark moments. Also he was wrong about it being orchestral the entire movie since during the montage there was a pop song playing, which still fit the themes of the film. I trust him for tech reviews, but never let him cook for movie reviews.

It was phenomenal. But I’m guessing young adults without children wouldn’t connect with it.

[@plutonasa]

@@Burrijw I don't have kids either, but it's made me rethink/think further on my relationship with my parents. Also, calling it "just a kids movie" is so disingenuous. You don't need to have an obvious villain to be a good movie. Wall-e didn't have an obvious villain until the last bit, but it is a damn good story the whole way through. KIDS DESERVE GOOD MOVIES TOO. First time hearing a bad take from David.

I’m an audio listener and came here to say that I enjoy the tangents! I think of Waveform as being a chat amongst friends loosely connected by technology as a topic.

Analog has a definition even in electrical engineering. So it doesn't mean "non-electric". It just means it doesn't have a digital component that deals in 0's and 1's.

[@TheTurner90]

Re: Camera Control. To Apple's credit, they are providing "customization" options that people have asked for/mocked Apple for by also allowing you to change the quick launch buttons on the home screen. So, now you have the ability to have a dedicated, "physical" Camera launch option if you choose to customize your Quick Launch button and Action Button to something else.

[@JustFrozen77]

that kinda means little when there are a dozen other ways to launch it

I have a stiletto ti bone. They are dope. Best hammer I’ve ever used in framing. Love being able to swap from a smooth or milled face. The light weight from being titanium is nice.

Andrew seems to have done more research of the LTT screwdriver than David with the WordPress issue! As the most tech-knowledgeable of the three, David is frustrating is listen to about nuanced issues. He seems to say a lot but glosses over nuances that would make his information more valuable. David, WP in WP Engine does stand for WordPress, although that would be the insinuation. It would be very bad for them to call themselves 'WordPress Engine' in full and WP Engine in short. That would get them sued for trademark infringement.

If camera control BUT-TON could be mapped to ONE function that I could immediately adjust with a swipe (like exposure), I think it would be WAY more useful.
