Accidental Tech Podcast591: That's Why I Like Computers
https://atp.fm/591
At WWDC 2024, together at last!
Philip Hofstetter@atpfm is there no bootleg? Or is something broken with my feed and/or overcast?
@atpfm never mind. Refreshing manually a few times in overcast has made the episode appear

DavidSchaubI updated my table of supported Macs here:
https://mstdn.social/@dschaub/112595140615272115
I find it interesting that the non-T2 iMac (2019) remains, but we lost two T2 sluggish 2-core Intel 'Y' class MacBook Airs:
- MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018)
- MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019)
My bet would be: the iMac (2019) loses support next year, and that is the LAST Intel macOS release.
Apple's Table:
DavidSchaub (@[email protected])
Attached: 1 image The only Macs that lost new macOS support today are: - MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018) - MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2019) Maybe those slow 2 core (4 thread) CPUs with T2 are just not up to the task? Older 4 core Mac minis still get the new OS.
Austin*@atpfm fwiw, the 2D -> 3D photo conversion in AVP is very good, and the experience is miraculous. i was skeptical going in, but it was the first time i had a profound emotional reaction to a 3D photo in the headset, because all the “actual” 3D photos are so recent, but using it on older (and generally higher-quality) photos made it feel much more special.

Reid@atpfm I hear AI features “limited to 17 Pro and above” which I’m guessing means 15 pro?
Ayo^@atpfm You know who was sitting beside @caseyliss at WWDC24? Adjacent Snell
Cai@atpfm @marcoarment Love the energy in this episode :)
@atpfm The app that demanded your Contacts access was Clubhouse. Remember Clubhouse? 🕯️
David Jarman@atpfm Small sample size, but ATP hosts appear to talk faster when they’re gathered around a table. I’m half an hour in, and have had to wind down from 1.5x to 1.2x just to keep up!
K. Collett@atpfm That long “Ending theme” chapter made me wonder if we were going to be treated to an extended club mix of the theme.
Buck@atpfm Were there no topic chapter bookmarks on this one?
John Siracusa@buck The episode was edited and posted in a car while driving from San Jose to San Francisco, so some compromises may have been made.
David Lynch@atpfm It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me. (Actually, I only got the streak locked in around the series 2. Still. I am thankful for my lack of serious injury or illness over the last 7 years.)
@kemayo so I guess the question is, do you feel the ability to pause is a bad thing for you? Will it hurt motivation? Or feel like “cheating”? Or are you a fan of it?
@rconti Oh, I think it’s a great feature to add. It might make it easier to “cheat” (which you can already do with workouts if you want), but being able to take a day/week/month off for injury/recovery if you need to is well worth it.
Sean Harding@atpfm The modem sound in the bootleg this week really caught me off guard 😅

So, the early comments on the new Photos app UI are… not good.
I feel claustrophobic just looking at this screenshot.

Take the follow 🔗 with what you will. On Vision Pro supporting Apple Intelligence.

★metal★matt★@atpfm Music in the bootleg threw me! I think this is the first time I’ve heard the updated theme song
Matt King@atpfm with all the crap going on in the country in regards to the right to an abortion combined with all the talk about privacy in the keynote, I feel Apple lost an opportunity to talk or at least cleverly hint about it in regards to the Health app now being able to track gestational age. I’m assuming there’s no way the government could get their hands on that info….maybe?
@atpfm @caseyliss Please tell me the three of you got a photo together, we need to see the joy on @siracusa 's face!
json t@siracusa Marco didn’t get the shirt memo?
shinypb@jasontuttle @siracusa Casey didn't get the backpack memo?
@jasontuttle He’s the stylish one!
MaysonLancaster@siracusa @jasontuttle Omg – a punning typo!
Nick Bodmer@siracusa @DrChris @atpfm @caseyliss
Casey's joy is palpable. He seems like a good friend.

Maxél@siracusa @DrChris @atpfm @caseyliss I wish I had nerdy friends I could share this momentous moment with
@siracusa @DrChris @atpfm @caseyliss This is like when characters of your favorite tv shows do cross-over episodes. All three of you together in the same room for a photo ❤️🤯
Joe Welch@siracusa my three favorite podcasters that I feel like I know personally but they have no idea who I am. It’s a weird feeling 😅
You guys are the best and you bring me much joy. Thank you 🙏
Joseph Humfrey@JoeWelch i know! feel the same. they're like your buddies in a way. if atp stopped tomorrow i'd be so upset. they better do this podcast together for as long as Apple is still a company ie the remainder of our liftime.
@torsteinv same! It’s the only podcast I never miss an episode of. Love it. And it’s not because of the content but because of the people.

Denis@siracusa @DrChris @atpfm @caseyliss So happy for you guys that you got to spend some quality time together!
Balaji Dutt@siracusa @atpfm @caseyliss mildly amused/surprised that @marcoarment isn't wearing a #atpfm t-shirt.

Michael B. Johnson@siracusa @atpfm @caseyliss btw, did see you three at the talk show, but my voice was gone and so it seemed counterproductive to say hi.
Hope y’all have been having a good time at my office - seems like it.
Casey Liss@caseyliss @siracusa @DrChris @atpfm and I hope you all go see Joy in her new adventure this weekend in the theater!
I know I will be there this weekend to cheer her (and Pixar) on.
@Drwave we just showed the kids the first one a couple months back, and Mikaela in particular is _obsessed_. We will absolutely be seeing it!

Alex Babaev@DrChris @atpfm @caseyliss @siracusa "The Joy on Siracusa's Face" would be a nice ATP episode title. :-)
