The End of Twitter as We Know It

[@mmingo]

I used my masterball on an Oddish. Still hurts... I feel you, Andrew :_)

[@RoadUser_Motovlog]

I've used mine on a Natu..i was damn sure i could get another master ball after beating the league..

[@godminnette2]

I never used my masterball. I believed those playground rumors of hidden legendaries, like moon rock Jirachi or Petalburg Woods Celebi, and saved it in case I ever successfully saw one.

[@brantelope5257]

I used my masterball on a Ditto. I thought that it would be the most powerful Pokémon because it could turn into any other Pokémon.

[@iq_damn4397]

I used mine on dodrio. Everyone has their "i f-ed up my first masterball" apparently

It is remarkable that this show has 5 personalities and it flows so smoothly. Ellis and Adam interject at EXACTLY the right moments.

[@stoneocean4760]

Because its pre recorded and goes through an editing process.

[@ashthegeek7400]

It’s edited and pre-recorded but yeah, the end result is awesome

[@ampthebassplayer]

Having done 5 person casts before, it's really impressive how well everyone works together. It's easy for things to devolve into chaos with this many people.

[@fieryotterdelasmolinas9410]

I love that you keep those "imperfect" moments - like the one with Andrew at the very end of the podcast - in the final cut. It makes the podcast feel so much "closer" to the listener and it's also a good fun!

[@Severianish]

RE: Base model discussion vs “pro” models. This is a problem in my industry is industry professionals convincing the average customer that their experience will be worse if they have lower end products. The functional result is that there is more demand for the higher end products causing producers to not support “low end” products that 80% of users will find perfectly acceptable.

[@sebastian4792]

Hot Take: Twitter shouldn’t be the everything app. The internet is centralized enough and as a consumer we should want it to be less centralized than it already is. Competition is a good thing and having one app that does everything, isn’t as good as it actually sounds.

[@woodcider]

Consumers know that monopolies are detrimental but companies LOVE monopolies. They will push for the monopoly every time.

[@DanielPetersen]

It somehow works with WeChat

[@屎蒂夫與殆夫]

@@DanielPetersen Because everything in China is centralized.

[@patrikburda]

@@DanielPetersen It's not like they have many other options in China...

[@nicolaska1761]

And most of the time when you try to do everything you're not good at anything, just mid. And because they're are a lot of options today people will just go for the best option

[@larra468]

I have gained such knowledge and enthusiasm for tech probably primarily because of Marques and the team and it's not one of those things where i grew up with the content, hell I'm like 16 and from a country where the internet hasn't been a mainstream resource for more than say a decade . So armed with this newfound knowledge, appreciation and fear of certain aspects of tech, i recently went window shopping in a local samsung store with a friend the proceeded to excitedly blurt out specs of the flip and fold 5s and watched as the sales staff seem so surprised at the knowledge i had of a device that wasn't even close to being on the Kenyan shelves.... Anywho, point is eventhough ik I'm not exactly a long time subscriber and listener, I still appreciate the effort put into the MKBHD brand and it might mean nothing but i'm proud of the growth amassed To anyone, Have a nice rest of your day, drink water and remember to sleep

[@MichaelMarquez-m3b]

I remember when I was taking a microcontroller class in the late 90s the professor talking about how a washing machine manufacturer will make a no frills base model with a thin profit margin but then they could throw in a microcontroller with a fancy alphanumeric LED display for $10 to $20 more in cost but be able to sell that upscale model for $100 to $200 more.

[@TySchmidt]

Can we get a dedicated S9 tablet video this year? Not just the ultra or just a 30-second clip in a dope tech video. These tablets legit don't get enough credit for how good they are. Free S Pen with hover, great multitasking, Dolby atmos sound, best in class screens, and these one's will have really impressive battery life.

[@elemaire86]

Someone finally said it. I really think he's trying to bankrupt twitter. Blam me watch Succession for my thought process lol

[@Jimmy2Bits]

15:07 I have seen phones not respond due to the storage being so close to being full. Using 54GB of the storage on a 64GB model where the OS uses 6-8GB and you're basically one or two pictures away from a phone that wont even be able to load the lockscreen (likely because there is no free space to create a log file of the event)

[@VictorSavelle]

I think maybe doing it in 2 stages could have been better? Call it "TwitterX" , then eventually "X" couple years later? Would be enough time to work on the seo nightmare part of it, and could have been a bit smoother transition.. Idk just my 2 cents.

[@riverwang5482]

Ye agreed

[@joncross8483]

still cringe but you're right that is a smart idea if you're dead set on naming your app something stupid

The Surface Duo really did have the perfect proportions, and the single-screen experience for web-browsing was especially nice. If they could add an exterior display with that size and make a foldable internal display (not to mention actually support the device), that would be very interesting.

[@Kbyte27]

For people who doesn't live in a 1st world country: 1. Cloud storage is an expensive monthly payment. 2. Phone uprades happen on a 3-5 yearly basis. 3. Internet is slow and not widely available. We NEED the large storage if we were to continuously use the phone for more than a year. Many phones targeted to our market supports microSD card slot. It's slow, but does the job well.

[@tonymccrackin]

I've only ever listened to this podcast on Spotify and this is the first time watching. Very weird to know what everyone who isn't Marques looks like 😂

[@AllTheArtsy]

I would never have Andrew's problem with the master ball because I'm the kind of player that just hoards the best and most effective items as though they weren't made to be consumables. What's that? I'm the only left in my party and I have 97 phoenix downs? Sorry, nope, can't use any of them 🙈🙈🙈

[@xyzain_1827]

The twitter timestamp is actually 36:19

[@Jimmy2Bits]

A great way you can free up space on your phone is to go through your messages and see if there are any media attachments. (photos, videos, audio, stickers, text effects, screen effects, etc. ) The photo will take up more space in messages than it would if it were in your Library.

[@syazanisatri]

Another interesting fact about Twitter having its own lexicon is it's multilingual. In Arabic they say "taghreed" to refer to tweets, which translates to the singing of a bird. I don't know any other social media names that do this, often they would just transliterate like WhatsApp becomes "wats" and Facebook becomes "feys"

[@thekeytoairpower]

I bought a base Ford Raptor the year they came out. Only option on it was trailer brake control. I had to special order it and wait a couple of months. It was 1k over invoice whilst everyone who wanted one today had to pay 10k over msrp. I ended up trading it a year later for more than I paid for it.

1:22:34 Heavy doesn’t equal high off the ground. I’ve driven SUVs that are high up yet feel nimble (say, a 4rh gen 4runner) but driven low to the ground sports cars that feel super heavy. Suspension tuning and weight distribution plays a way bigger role than raw height

[@TheEngineersPerspective]

Hi. Really love your podcast. Haven't missed an episode yet and i have one suggestion. Could you guys have a segment where you recommend 5 amazing apps for each episode and the benefits for each member for the group. Thanks. No worries if you don't use my suggestion but keep up the good work. Also, side Note: KZbin should have autocorrect for the comment section.

I didn't understand Pokemon at the time so I accidentally killed Diagla instead of capturing it. I then instantly regretted it and wasted my master ball on some random Pokemon. Then one of my friends told me Diagla comes back, so i went back to Diagla and tried so hard to use the ultra balls but obviously it didnt work. So we rented Pokemon Pearl from Video Ezy and my brother played until the masterball in a week, transferred it to my game and finally caught Diagla. To be a kid again and have that much free time 😅

MacMini M1 or M2 always started at 256 GB. I think what David meant was 256GB, 512GB instead of 128GB, 256GB. (Intel Mac Mini 2018 started with 512 GB)

[@S3verance]

17:40 I think most of us here don't realise that we are way more knowledgeable regarding phones than the general population. Once you spend a bit of time at a phone store you realise that most people have no idea what there buying. The reason why apple sells so well is because it has a huge social impact and word of mouth spread. People don't care what they're buying as long as it works so they will tend to listen to the general advice they get from friends. Iphone friends = you'll buy iPhone, and the same for android.

The reason I dread keeping anything on my Macbook is because I know if something breaks, Apple will not recover my data. Therefore, it's all always in the cloud, and soon NAS. Therefore, storage on mac for me is meaningless. I'm sure there are plenty of use case scenarios like that.

There’s already two types of action gestures on an iPhone (close enough to an action button): triple tap the home button (for accessibility), and double tap the back of the phone.

[@sergioolivares3273]

As someone who works in a wireless carrier, the offers are definitely a little misleading. When they say you can get "an iPhone 14 on us", it's literally the iPhone 14. Not the plus, not the pro or pro max, just the 14. But most people really don't even understand the difference between iPhone models.

[@Jamman1321]

So about the foldables and the laminate cracking, the interesting thing is Samsung doesn't consider that as an in warranty issue. It actually voids your warranty. When they first rolled out the repair program, because it wasn't considered an in warranty issue, users who wanted to get it replaced would need to pay for a replacement or UbreakiFix would have to eat the cost of the replacement laminate. This caused a lot of push back so Samsung adjusted and now they are giving a one-time warranty exception for a replacement laminate. Samsung will pay for your first replacement, and maintain the current warranty of the device, but after that the user would have to pay $20 for the next laminate if they needed one and their device would be considered out of warranty by condition

[@blakesheppard4093]

2 more reasons why X makes sense. He wants to be claim complete victory if he is able to turn things around at twitter. X would help that Twitter although the most popular name has a lot of legacy, a lot of brand trauma n negative emotions , also preconceived opinions of the product. X is a fresh start at the product. In a way it’s a good things for the bird. End of an era

[@joelhansen7373]

Y'all are talking like turning your Brand name into a verb is the highest achievement in brand management. Quite the contrary! If your brand becomes a verb you are actually in danger of losing your trademark protection. If your brand becomes a word commonly used in people's speech you can lose a lawsuit if someone challenges it. Zipper was a brand. Now it's a product category with lots of companies making zippers. I'm old, but I remember how when people started saying things like I'm going to Xerox this" the Xerox reps would always tell you say you should say "you're going to copy it." Twitter & Google are definitely moving into that territory.

The iphone for a long time had smaller storage than competing androids. Androids would start selling with 64gb and the new iphone still started at 32gb. And there was no 64gb iphone, you had to pay way more for 128gb . Is one example
