A pesar del actual Estado de confinamiento debido a la cuarentena por la pandemia del Covid-19, en SucDePoma no hemos querido renunciar a nuestras quedadas mensuales. En esta ocasión se ha realizado de forma virtual, a través de un chat grupal de Skype. En el turno de preguntas se consulta cuando estarán disponibles voces en catalán para el iPhone y Siri. Se comentan distintas posibilidades de audio descripción en iOS y en televisiones inteligentes (Netflix, YouTube, emisiones de canales de la TDT, AudescMobile, app Apolo, web Audiocinemateca). Se trata un problema a la hora de actualizar el Apple Watch a la última versión. Se pregunta sobre las características y disponibilidad del próximo iPhone 9. Se plantea un problema con las actualizaciones de aplicaciones de diarios, lo cual da pie a hablar de alternativas como Microsoft News, squid, o lectores RSS como Feeddler, Newsify y Lire. También se habla de cómo acceder al menú contextual en los móviles que ya no tienen pantalla con 3D touch. En cuanto a los temas expuestos, Xavi Ciscar comparte diversas aplicaciones que son de pago, pero que ahora, durante estos días de confinamiento, temporalmente son gratuitas, y que pueden ser una buena forma de sobrellevar el tedio. Juan Núñez habla sobre las actividades en Mac. Después, varios participantes presentan diversos atajos para Siri: Manuel Barragán comparte un descompresor/compresor zip, un editor de video que corta fragmentos del inicio o final de un vídeo, un extractor del audio de los vídeos, otro que inicia una grabación de audio en Voice Dream a modo de grabadora de voz automática, y finalmente, uno que borra de un plumazo de la fototeca el número de fotos que deseemos. Jaime Franco presenta un atajo para abrir páginas web con Siri, algo que desde la aparición de iOS 13 no se puede realizar con los atajos que nos sugiere Siri, y explica cómo duplicarlo para adaptarlo a todas las páginas web que deseemos. Luego muestra otro para eliminar recordatorios completados, hecho que aprovecha para explicar cómo se pueden personalizar nuestros atajos con sonidos, mensajes de Siri y vibraciones. Pedro Sánchez comparte un atajo para cuando tenemos poca batería, y que tiene 3 acciones (desactiva wifi, baja el brillo al 0% y activa el modo de bajo consumo). Luego presenta otro que anula las anteriores acciones. También comenta uno que borra el contenido del portapapeles y otro que al decir “patata” hace una fotografía. Josep Jesa explica uno que abre directamente una página en blanco en la aplicación “Pages”, pues Siri no suele entender bien el nombre de esta aplicación a la hora de abrirla por medio de la voz. También menciona uno que inicia de forma automática la grabación de un vídeo, otro para escanear códigos QR y finalmente menciona el que abre directamente el canal “Texto breve” de la aplicación Seeing AI. Francisca comenta uno para abrir la app Duolingo en inglés y otro para abrir la aplicación Moovit con la parada que tiene más cercana, de forma que puede ver rápidamente los horarios. Jose María Ortiz presenta uno para poder consultar rápidamente las últimas estadísticas de la pandemia del coronavirus en los países que se deseen. Finalmente se plantea una duda sobre las alarmas recurrentes en iPhone y otra de cómo emplear trípodes para usar el móvil en conferencias por videochat. Algunas de las aplicaciones mencionadas son: Apolo once , Audesc mobile, web audiocinemateca, Microsoft News, Lire, Squid noticias, Newsify, Feedler RSS (versión gratuita), feedler RSS Reader pro 2 (de pago), KORG iKaossilator, Digital Concert Hall de la filarmónica de berlín, Discord, TeamTalk, Launchpad, Logic Pro X de Apple para Mac.

Transcription: That Blind Tech Show: Twifferrific on the Mac and Downcast is Back andSonos Gets 1 Bigger. (Transcription provided) [Music] Alison: Sonos One's which are the newest iteration of the play one, are the ones that have Lady A built-in. [Music] Alison: I did put the Eyes Free Fitness app on my phone and I'm hoping that you know buying some of the workouts for that, I will literally have no excuse not to, not to do it because my phone is always with me no matter where I go. Bryan: Somebody in New Zealand had something about unboxing one very early before the rest of the world which..... Alison: Oh yes Jonathan was very very happy that you know when he get, when these items come out he gets them a day ahead everyone else because New Zealand is a day ahead. Bryan: He should let people know that. [Laughter] Alison: He really doesn't gloat about that enough, but yeah. Jeff: So Alison you use your phone on a daily basis. [Laughter] Alison: The face ID, I'm still, I find myself still kind of getting used to this new thing called face ID. Jeff: I want to see the Grinch again this year. Bryan: So you want me to come visit? [Laughter] Big smiles okay, three, two one, welcome back to yet another episode of that blind tech show. I know it's been a very long time since we've been here in fact you've probably heard a lot of us on other great technology podcasts. I know our friend Allison Hartley recorded one of her regular tech doctor podcasts as well as she was on with the great people over at main menu. And you may have heard Jeff Thompson on with AT Banter and I believe he's got another podcast coming out with the good folks over at Mystic Access and you may have heard me on Blind Bargains but we finally got the band back together again and we're here to talk you through some of the holidays and the goings on now, so I'm going to go ahead and say yeah how you doing over there Allison. Alison: I'm doing okay, it's the day three of a four-day weekend so I'm just kind of milking the the time off work for all it's worth, I've been reading good books that I'll talk about later and eating lots of food, lots of pie, so much pie. Bryan: There's never such a thing as too much pie. Alison: No never. Bryan: What about you Jeff, how has your Thanksgiving holiday been? Jeff: Well pie is a continuum. Alison: Yep. Jeff: It's been great here, I've been bacheloring it, the family's been gone, and I'm living it here with the dogs, happy Thanksgiving, it's Thanksgiving everyday now. Bryan: I'm actually down in Florida still recording you see, we're all about bringing you the show. Holidays don't stop us. One thing I was very excited though on the plane ride down here, I was very excited some of you might have heard about therapy pigs getting kicked off planes. [Pig noises] I'm happy to report there was no therapy pig on my plane down here, just get old Nash in me. How about you Allison, have you ever been on a plane with a therapy Pig? Alison: I have never been on the plane with anything more exciting than another guide dog, I have to say. Bryan: What about you Jeff have you ever traveled with any pigs? Jeff: No but it, it would wouldn't be that bad if it was therapy bacon. Alison: Oh yeah. Bryan: That is true, that is true and for those of you not hear about that story it's actually not the first time a therapy pig has gotten kicked off a plane so, go ahead and check that out, it was one of the more humorous stories and, you know, it's great that they stand up for our rights as guide dog service dog users, but seriously, therapy pigs. [Pig noises] Now Allison, I think you're probably the only disappointed one because I'm hearing the Soup Nazi said no soup for you, no home pod for you this year? Alison: Yeah I mean I have really no reason to be disappointed. I have speakers coming out of my ears. [Spring noise and laughter] Alison: Quite literally right now cuz I'm wearing headphones but, I am, I am still interested in getting the home pod when it comes out, home pods I should say, cuz I want to get a stereo pair. I have my Lady A controlled Sonos speakers now, and I'm finding that that is honestly filling a lot of my needs in terms of playing satellite radio and playing any song that I could possibly think of. I do still want to get the home pods because I hear that the sound quality is gonna be even that much better than the Sonos speakers, but I'm not, I'm not tearing my hair out, if these new Sonos hadn't come out I might have been a bit more disappointed, but I'm okay. Jeff: Now you said they're gonna be better sounding than the Sonos? Alison: They are, they're going to have more tweeters and better far-field microphones for understanding you, the only limitation in my opinion it's gonna be Siri, I know this is a controversial subject on an Apple themed podcast but, Siri is terrible. Bryan: You will get no argument out of me, Siri and I, we're not even dating anymore, the relationship is over and.... Unfortunately this is not surprising news, Apple you know when they used to meet their deadlines, we talked about it this summer, it was a little odd that Apple was talking about this, it almost reminds me of you know back 10 years ago when they used to say there's an attack coming, it's not coming today, it's not coming tomorrow, but it's coming, and I kind of feel that's the same thing with (inaudible) Alison: Yeah. Bryan: Apple pod, they're not gonna be out today, they're not gonna be out tomorrow, but they will be out, probably around the same time that the Amazon app comes to the Apple TV. Alison: I would, I would say you're probably right there, and I would say that when they do come out they're gonna be a couple of years behind all of the other smart speakers with better AI. It's really, it's kind of gonna be sad almost. I really I want to see Apple push forward in this arena, but unfortunately you know, I, I've played now with Google assistant, I've had a Lady A in my life, I have been playing even with Bixby on a, on a Samsung phone, and yes you give something up in terms of your data, and in terms of your privacy, but when you're putting security above all, the AI, and the assistance itself becomes very limited in what it can do, and it's really starting to show in Siri when there are so many more worthy competitors. Bryan: Yeah, the Apple really missed the boat on the the home assistant and you know, Tim Cook was wishy-washy on it for several years and now it's just gonna be a speaker, I really have no interest, I mean I'm very happy with my Echo devices, heck, I got a small apartment you know, I've got one in the living room. They're $30.00 now over you know, the weekend... Alison: God Yeah. Bryan: I just don't have, I'm like, well do I really need another one, and I'm like, I've got one in the living room, one in the bedroom, and I don't spend much time in the kitchen so you know it's, there's no point really in getting another one but I, you just can't say no at that price and, how was the Google assistant, did you like it? Alison: I do, I actually I have a Google home speaker that I don't have plugged in at this point but on the Galaxy I mean it's just, you can just ask random questions and instead of saying, let me check the web for that, here's what I found, it actually just gives you the answer to your flipping question. Bryan: Yeah. Alison: It's really amazing and then you can ask like follow-up questions and it jives with what you were talking about and it answers intelligently. I just, you know maybe the home pod speakers will come out and something about Siri will blow us out of the water or something out of the speakers, about the speakers will blow everything else out of the water because they've had a little bit more time, but I'm starting to get a little impatient with Apple's obsession with, I know they want to get it right, and I know they want to have a really polished user experience, but that user experience is starting to suffer because of that need to be so meticulous, and so perfect. Jeff: Well I think they've actually, having it come out next year might be a good plan for their stocks in a way because people are buying the eight, or the ten, those are big items, and you're talking about $349.00 here. It's hard to comBryan when everybody else is you know flooding the market with these $29.00 minis, and dots, and Amazon, what do they have seven different items now in this department? The Look, the Show, the Tap. Alison: Now Google has three, I mean, it's a lot. Bryan: And, I'm hearing about headphones, Bose, I think there is a set of Bose headphones which you know, I couldn't afford those, but that have the Google Home built into them so we're starting to see more and more even headphones with these kind of assistants built into them and, I think Apple, you know, they've just been left behind and, not every company needs a home assistant so, I really don't see what the marketplace unless you are a big music listener, you know, or have capitol to spend, I really don't see the point to it, I guess I don't have a fine ear for music because I think the Echo speaker sounds fantastic and everybody I know that's into music says, "Are you kidding?" Alison: Oh no, oh God, no no no no no. Especially the Dot. The Dot is barely passable for spoken word, but even the big Echo, drives me crazy because it tries to simulate fake stereo, but it doesn't quite get it right on the one speaker so, it's, it drives me nuts. Bryan: What's the opposite of perfect pitch? Because that's what I have. [Laughter] Jeff: Either you have it, or you don't. Alison: Yeah. [Laughter] Jeff: So with the Sonos, you have two of them, that's the Sonos one you have two of them. Alison: Yep. Jeff: That does perfect stereo? Alison: It does, yeah I have them equal distant from each other on a table, and the stereo separation is amazing, it's really beautiful. Jeff: Oh that's great. Bryan: Are there multiple different kinds of Sonos? I've just heard phenomenal things about Sonos speakers, or is there one product line or are there different kind of product lines for the Sonos speakers. Alison: There are in the non smart, non Lady A connected Sonos products, there are three, well four technically different tiers of Sonos products, and it all depends on the number of tweeters that are in each speaker, and with all of them you can pair to get a stereo pair with the Play Ones, Play Threes, and Play Fives, but they become very expensive, and they have a sound bar, and they have a subwoofer for the television, but you couldn't pair Lady A with a skill now, to make all of your Sonos products somewhat controllable via Lady A, but the Sonos One's which are the newest iteration of the Play One, they look exactly the same except they have microphones, are the ones that have Lady A built-in. Bryan: Yeah well everything, everything seems to be getting smarter except Apple News, which you know, I often go through Apple news and my subscriptions when I'm putting this show together and, lately I've been noticing there's about two articles and then everything goes back six weeks, and they just don't seem to be coming out with a lot of content and as Jeff and I were talking about, a lot of ads you'll see an article, title of an article, title of an article, then an advertisement, and then a bunch of text, this is something about Apple and an ad and everything. Jeff have you been using Apple News, and have you noticed how down hill it seems to have gone? Jeff: I've noticed it's changing a little bit at first, the ads you can't even read the ads because that, all it does is give you description of it, and you have to skip over it, so they're not trying to sell to the blind. The thing that I noticed about Apple News is Apple shuts down at about four o'clock on Friday, there's no new news, they just kind of rehash the same stuff until Monday, and it's just like looking for an app update. If I get one on on Saturday/Sunday, someone paid extra to have that pushed out. Bryan: Yeah maybe I should go back to Newsify and actually reading my RSS feed for technology news. I'm not seeing that much content coming through there, I was I was really excited when Apple news came out because I thought it was gonna be great and I enjoyed it at first, I was using it all the time, but now I'm seeing less and less content and a lot of that content, there's nothing worse than when you're reading an article and like a paragraph into the article, all of a sudden advertisement is starts being read to you... Alison: Yep. Bryan: It drives me absolutely bonkers, and Jeff you actually said, and I'm curious because I read a lot of television recaps in Safari, where I'll say, Arrow episode, season six episode three recap, and it will, I'll find an article that will describe the action and a lot of times these articles, a paragraph in it starts reading an ad to me, you just got a pop-up blocker, now do you think those pop-ups might block those in article advertisements, or just really block pop-ups. Jeff: Actually it's not a pop-up blocker, that is native to the Safari app where you can turn that on or off and it blocks pop-ups. Now some colleges, if you're a college student, they use pop-up so you might want to beware that you might be shutting off something and not being able to gain access to so, try it out. What I got was Purify and that's P U R I F Y, it's a content blocker, and when you get that you, you purchase it, and I got it for a dollar ninety nine, I don't know if that was a Black Friday deal or a special over the holidays but, a dollar ninety-nine, it's very popular app according to Nick, my buddy up in Canada, and what it does is it works on your browser. So what you do is you purchase it and then you have to go into your Safari app settings, go down and just below pop-up blocker, you're gonna find content blocker, and then you have to enable it by turning it on. Bryan: Allison, have you ever used any kind of pop-up or ad blockers or anything? Alison: I do also use Purify and I find that that eliminates a lot of the ads on the websites that I use. What I love now also is reader mode for specific websites in iOS11, if you activate reader now, it's an actionable item and you can go to Auto reader and you can tell it that I either want reader to be active on this website all the time or, all the time for everything, so I have some very specific websites for which I just have reader all the time and I never have to worry about any extra crap on the webpage. Bryan: Where is that setting where you could set it specifically for an individual website? Alison: When you actually turn on reader and you've got reader selected, then there's an actions available, it might even be available for you to select it, and one of the actions is automatic reader when you flick down. You double tap that and then it comes up with a message that says do you want to enable reader for all websites or just on this domain and, you could turn it on for just on this website, and so like 9 to 5 Mac for example and a couple of other more the, more of the busy Apple news sites, I have since I do so much Twitter reading on my phone, I've got automatic reader turned on and it's changed everything. Bryan: Yeah that's something I'll have to, you know I I use the reader all the time, but I, and I remember hearing about, that you know, you hear, about so many new settings but I've never played around with it so, that's something I'm really gonna have to make use of, and by the way if you're out there and if you know of any specific ad popup blocker that might work in individual apps, let us know, you could tweet us in at BlindTechShow or shoot us in an email at thatblindtechshow@ gmail.com, let us know about that. This next thing is really interesting because I was down here listening, I have an app where I'm able to get any NFL audio feeds and everything, and the one thing that drives me bonkers because my dad's a little older so sometimes he forgets is I'm watching the Washington Redskins game here on Thanksgiving with him and I'm listening to the Redskins radio, the only problem is streaming audio is a good minute and a half to two minutes behind real time, and he keeps commenting about what's on TV and it's just driving me insane, I'm like Dad, remember it hasn't happened again you know, so, one thing that would be nice is if FM radio actually just worked on your iPhone which supposedly it could according to this article, we'll put in the show notes that it's built into the phone but Apple just will not activate it. Have you guys been following this story? I know it's been in the news a lot lately. Alison: I've heard two things about this, I've heard that Apple for whatever reason has just decided not to activate it but then I've also heard that the newer modems actually don't have the FM radio so it's a moot point. Bryan: Mmm okay, what about you Jeff if you've been following along to this? Jeff: Yeah I have but, you know it's to me it's like, is it, is it, am I dying for it, I don't know, I really don't know. Bryan: I think it'd be nice, just, you know to be in real time. I don't understand why they can't get streaming audio to be at least maybe you know a second or two behind. I mean it's just such a significance difference, I've got it put on do not disturb, otherwise I'll get notifications about a score in a game, you know, before it happened. The fascinating thing is during the, the Yankees playoff run, I went to my local bar with a pair of my head with the headphones with FM radio, and sure enough FM radio would get it like 30 seconds before television would. [Laughter] Alison: So there's no perfect solution. Bryan: No, there's not, I'd be like, I'd yell out "damn it" and people were like "What are you talking about, they've yet to throw the pitch". [Laughter] So yeah, there's there's no perfect solution. Jeff: I like tuneIn radio, I like stuff like that. Alison: Yeah. Jeff: If there's an emergency or something we got those alarms that go off and everything. I don't see myself turning it on, I don't know, it's just, it so interesting, there's so many resources, so many different avenues that I can get information that, just one more to be on the phone and then, where's my antenna. Alison: Yeah. Jeff: You know it's, now that we're Bluetooth everything so, do we have to wrap it in tinfoil? I don't know. Bryan: You just hold it up in the air while you're walking down the street like an umbrella. [Laughter] Am I getting a signal now? Damn it, the signal is better over here. You know it's funny because the one thing my headphones don't get is AM radio. Jeff: I think it's just as important to think about this. Now do we really want that on there because everyone was so excited when like your Amazon device could make phone calls. As soon as you make that phone call you're standing there for about two minutes going I can't walk away. Alison: Yeah, yeah. Jeff: It's not fun. Bryan: No no no, like I've said for a very long time, the worst app on the iPhone is the phone, and it's also my least used app. I wonder if I could take it out of the dock and put it on like page nine. [Laughter] Alison: You could yeah. Bryan: Yeah, you know it's funny yeah I've been down here in Florida like I said for a week and everything, so I've been in a lot of automobiles which in New York City you know I'm not in cars a lot, and I've noticed my phone still thinks I'm driving sometimes. Alison: My phone thinks I'm driving when I'm not even in a car, like I'll be laying in bed and all of a sudden that do not disturb while driving thing will pop up and I'll be like I'm just reading a book, can you go away? [Laughter] Bryan: But do you have a waterbed so maybe you're moving. [Laughter] Jeff: Too much coffee. Alison: Unfortunately no waterbed, but it's crazy I wish, I have it set on activate manually, so it should not be popping up at all, but it's driving me nuts. Bryan: Real quick for a millennial crowd, water beds were beds with water in them in the 1980s. [Laughter] Look them up. Jeff: California has regulations on waterbeds. Alison: Yeah. [Laughter] Right. Jeff: The other thing is someone told me about the notifications you know that, while you're in a car if you turn it to what is that the Bluetooth setting in your car mode, that that's supposed to trigger it, I don't know sometimes that some things are on, some things are off, I don't know. Bryan: Yeah, and I've got mine set the manual where I'm supposed to be able to turn it on, I have read in a lot of places and I think we may all be running different versions of betas, or some people may be having this problem, others may not and supposedly some people claim it's fixed in a certain beta. I don't even know if I'm running that beta, I think I'm one update behind, you know there's been so many betas out that I can't keep up with them, and a lot of updates coming out too, I notice all the time I seem to have like 80 to 90 updates every few days cuz, I self update, what about you? I know you guys self-medicate, do you self update? Alison: Well I'm constantly working on self improvement, self updating, oh oh you mean apps, yeah. [Laughter] Bryan: The apps, I like to make sure tha,t I like to read those little release notes, and the worst is we update our app fairly regularly, we're not going to tell you what we're doing. Alison: Nope. Jeff: If you get a self-improvement app, would that be self defeating? [Laughter] Bryan: I don't know, you know what, email us and let us know what you think. You know a lot of people are big fans of the Star Wars saga, but have you guys been following the blindfold game saga. Alison: It's been it's been rather epic. Bryan: It has, there's been multiple parts you know. We had, we even had my favorite was Blindfold game Strikes Back you know. Alison: And they did to their credit. Bryan: They did, they struck back hard. I'm a, you know I am a big fan of the games. Blindfold Uno, I've bought plenty of them, I know some people don't like them, I think Marty does a phenomenal job and, God I love the trivia games, and there's nothing like when you've got a, you're sitting in the store you got a few minutes to kill. I've actually set my Blindfold Uno to unlimited scoring so I've got like thirty thousand points in there, it just keeps... [Laughter] Every time the computer gets within ten thousand points of me I think it's cheating you know, but, he really does a great job with a lot of those games. Marty is a businessman and he makes these games you know, out of his love of making games for the community as well as to make money and... Alison: Sure why not. Bryan: I couldn't believe what, when Apple was telling him he needed to roll them into tab less apps in the App Store. It really seemed like Apple didn't know what they were talking about I, you know you could Google Marty's website, I'm not sure the exact site but blindfoldgames.com probably, or just google it, and he's got a blog that'll explain everything that happened if you're not aware of it but, I was really shocked at the stance Apple took against him starting out. Alison: I can summarize briefly if you'd like. Bryan: Sure. Alison: I've been fairly involved in reading about it. So essentially what happened was, and there's a whole detailed timeline on the website. Bryan: Start with episode 1. Alison: In episode one Apple was going through the review process for some iOS11 related updates for Marty's games and they noticed that a lot of the games used the same template. Now Apple technically has a rule that apps cannot be clones of one another, and not looking at the content of the games which are all different decided that these games are too similar and so we're going to have to reject these updates because they have the templates are too similar and you have to make the the gameplay different. Well the whole beauty of the blindfold games is once you know how to play one, you can pretty much figure out you know, several more, so Marty defended himself and said look while these templates are all very similar, the content within them is very different, but Apple didn't want to hear it, they heard, they're like 80 apps is too much. You have to compile them into less. Bryan: A handful, yeah. Alison: Amounts of apps. So Marty's stance, with which I agree, is that then that would make the apps too large to download because they all contain different voice files, and sound effects, so they're already you know pretty sizable downloads anyway, and it would hurt discoverability. For example if all the card games were in one app, somebody might only play one or two, and that might hurt his chances at making more revenue, and the man has got to be able to make some sort of money off it. Bryan: Sure. Alison: I get it. So eventually it came down to a lot of members of the community myself included, advocating with Apple to make them understand that this is a different type of situation than just the average you know, Yahoo up there trying to clone a bunch of flappy bird apps for example. And it worked, they understood, they eventually understood and had a conversation with Marty about, hey we understand that these games are different and now it's it's okay, when the review was passed and Marty at one point he was going to be taking down the games because he just didn't have the resources, either financial, or time wise to do the rewrites that Apple was starting with, so I'm really glad that this ended up, ending happily, and I got into some, some real Twitter spats with a couple of people who really think that, that oh, it's just blind people whining. No, it's, it's people advocating for games, which are truly different in the App Store, and yes blindness does have a little bit to do with it because we have a shortage of accessible games as it is, so don't take our choices away. Bryan: Would you summarize saying basically that Marty basically after the the Clone Wars beat the Empire? Alison: He did. Bryan: Yes. Yes. [Laughter] A Star Wars theme, yeah, no, not to make light of it, it was great that Apple reversed it's course and, Jeff, any comments? Where you following along on the Blindfold saga? Jeff: I was more or less following Allison on Twitter, I'm stalking again Allison. Alison: Oh no. Jeff: But Jonathon Mosan wrote a letter, other people in the community got going on, it was nice to see everybody come together for that you know, like some people were pretty negative, they were saying like "oh yeah, they come together this, but not for jobs" Alison: Some people were jerk faces about it, and I will call them out for that. Jeff: Other people were saying like "Oh Apple, they played the blind card to Apple" it's not that, it's like Allison just explained, it's more like that. It is kind of neat to sit back and watch how different people rise up to certain things and other people take sides, you know the bottom line is the guy is doing something. he has to make money. If he bundles them all up, and you only like one of them, you're not going to buy 8 you know, it makes sense, business sense for him, and I'm glad Apple saw it that way. Bryan: I think he's got a great price plan, because you know, yes, he's got a ton of games you know, nobody buy them all. You could test them out, you know he gives you a free amount of games with each one which I think is fantastic. How many mainstream games out there allow you to test it out before buying it? Alison: It's true. Bryan: So basically what we are saying Marty, "Stay Strong!" Jeff: And may the Force be with you. Bryan: You know something that just came to the app store new and I, I've gotta actually take a look at this, because I haven't exercised since last millennium, The Eyes Free Fit, you know Blind Alive some of you may know it as, I looked up Blind Alive, i couldn't find anything related to exercising. But if you look it up under Eyes Free Fitness, and this just came to the app store last week, and I looked through it, you gotta buy the programs, but it looks like they got a ton of different exercises in there, and I know they've been around for quite a while and on a lot of podcasts. Have either of you guys ever done any of their exercise programs? Alison: A long time ago I bought Cardio Level 1, and it is really great, and really descriptive. I did it a couple of times, I'm really bad with sticking with exercise routines no matter how accessable they are. So, it's really a motivation issue, its not an issue with the workouts themselves, but now I did put the Eyes Free Fitness app on my phone and I am hoping that, you know buying some of the workouts through that, i will literally have no excuse not to do it because my phone is always with me no matter where I go. Bryan: Yeah. How about yourself Jeff? You're an outdoor mountain man, have you ever indoor exercised? Jeff: I was actually testing her website with her so I got to get a few of those and she was next to me in the booth at ACB in 2016. It was in Minneapolis, it was really fun, it's really great that she's taken it to this level now that, you can even hook it up to your health app inside your phone too so.... Bryan: Wait a minute, there's a health app in the phone? [Laughter] Jeff: Page 9 Brian, Page 9. Alison: Page 11 yeah. [Laughter] Bryan: It's next to all of my pizza services. [Laughter] Jeff: So I suggest if people want it, it's Eyes Free Fitness, it's well described, that's the whole intent of it. She uses people who are professionally trained to come up with these exercise routines, but then there's also some stretching ones, and all that stuff. So it's pretty versatile, and they got some Yoga stuff in there, and then there's.... Alison: Pilates. Jeff: Yeah, lots of good stuff in there. Bryan: Yeah, yeah, my only complaint about this app and what she does, is she makes the rest of us look lazy. [Laughter] Can I set a New Years resolution in November, where that's my plan is to, exercise and, you know, a lot of people say they want to get in better shape. I would just like to get into a shape so.... [Funny sound effect and laughter] Alison: See it's a good time for me to get back into this because now I'm walking everyday with Gary with our neighborhood in Napa being so walkable that I actually am in a little bit better shape, so I feel like these exercises would be really great, you know especially if on the weekends when we walk less, it would really help me to get in even better shape. I'm still a far cry off from where I want to be and I still eat to much, but that'll never change. [Laughter] Bryan: I don't even eat that much, I just eat all of the wrong things, I've learned if I like it, it's bad for you. Alison: Yeah, that's kinda where I'm at too, I don't find that I eat these ginormous portions, I mean although I do like a healthy portion of food, but yeah, it's not the good things. It's a little light on the leafy green vegetables and such, although I like fruit. Jeff: You know one of the main things about exercise and all this stuff that we're talking about is the mindset and it takes a while to get your mind wrapped around it. I've been using a trainer for, it'll be coming up on a year and I finally got my mind wrapped around it after 10 months. I mean, it really takes something, I used to be in really good shape, I used to do a lot of stuff, I used to run and all sorts of stuff. But I am not being chased anymore so... you know. Bryan: It's may favorite line, "Do you still run?" "Only when chased" [Laughter] Jeff: Yeah, I think people who want to get back into it sometimes it takes a little commitment. You can buy these from $19.00 to $25.00 or something like that, but you have it, you can do it in the privacy of your own home, it's accessible, and it describes all of the stances, all the positions, well described steps, so if that's what it takes to get your mindset involved in it, it might be a good start for you. Alison: Yeah. Yeah can get as of out of breath or sweaty as you want, as quickly as, however quickly it takes and it doesn't matter because it's just you and yeah. Jeff: But make sure you have your phone notifications for driving set right. [Laughter] Bryan: Either that or in my kind of condition make sure you have 911 on speed dial. [Laughter] I got a good work out there, you know we're recording this the day after Black Friday, it's not even Cyber Monday yet but you'll hear this after Cyber Monday, and it was a low tech Black Friday for me because I got some clothes and everything, no technology but I wanted to ask you guys, what about yourself Allison was it a techie Black Friday Cyber Monday for you or no? Alison: No cuz I, I bought what I want throughout the year, I don't, I don't have the the impulse control to wait three months for something to go on sale on Black Friday, I just buy it when I, when I have the money and what I want it / need it. So Black Friday / Cyber Monday are always kind of a bit of a letdown for me cuz I'm like, oh this thing's on sale, oh wait, I already have it, this thing's on sale, wait I already have it. ]Laughter] Bryan: Got it got it got it got it got it need it you know. Alison: Yeah. Jeff: I just went shopping at Allison's place, I just walk to her house. [Laughter] I'll take that, that, that. [Laughter] Ain't got it, ain't got it, ain't got it. Bryan: You know it's not a big tech year for me because I'm not upgrading, I do need to get a new key chain cuz I have one of those key chains with the Lightning charger and for some reason the Lightning charger broke off of the key chain so, one of the things I heard somebody talking about was you know I've got all these kind of what I call lipstick chargers where you have to plug the cord into the charger. I heard they now got a charger out there that has the lightning charger built into it as well as a USB built into it and I think I'm gonna probably get something like that. Alison: Send me that when you find it. Because, send me the link, yeah because that is something, you know, I love my anchor batteries. I have the ones that are like even 20 thousand milliamps witch are a little bit bigger but I just put them in my purse, but yeah you've got to have the little the cables for your Apple watch and for your micro USB devices and your, your lightning cables all together and it's just it's a little bit much, it gets to be a little bit much to carry around. Jeff: Jack really makes a couple of these. One is a six thousand, one is a ten thousand fifty claiming that X needs more power so they made that one. They do have two cords, one is the Lightning port cord and the other is for all the Android stuff, your mini USB plug, and there's a third you can plug a USB into it so you technically you can actually have three by both outputs going at one time. My concern since their dedicated cables on there, are you committed to that if, what if the cable goes bad you know, I, I don't know but it does get a 4.5 out of 5 ratings on Amazon. Myself I like the big ones. Alison: Oh yes send me that one. Jeff: Cuz size does matter. Alison: It does. [Laughter] Bryan: Hey hey, this is a PG podcast. [Laughter] Alison: What, we're talking about, we're talking about batteries. Bryan: Oh. Jeff: I must admit I like big batteries. Bryan: I've heard that about you. Now Allison you've had the iPhone for a while now what are your thoughts? Alison: I basically really like it, it's nice and fast, I like the size, I have it in a leather case because it's glass on both sides and I do not trust myself with glass on both sides and I have dropped it and the leather case has saved me a couple of times. The face ID I'm still, I find myself still kind of getting used to this new thing called face ID. I find that it's very accurate. I find that even when it doesn't get your face it learns from the experience and it has been consistently doing better but it's not as fast as touch ID, the gestures for bringing up home and app switcher are pretty fluid and elegant I think. Bryan: Are you used to doing those after having the press on the home button for so long or does it take a little training yourself? Alison: I'm used to it now, I've had the thing now for a couple of weeks so I've gotten it back into my, into my muscle memory now that this is just what you have to do because there's no home button and luckily I'm not using any other older devices to confuse me, that's convenient but yeah it's it's never going to be as fast I don't think. Jeff: So Alison you use your phone on a daily basis? [Laughter] Alison: Pretty much almost every minute of every day. Bryan: Are you happy with the purchase, are you happy with the upgrade? Alison: I am because I wanted, I wanted the latest and greatest technology and now I've got it and I realized that sometimes that comes with some caveats so I am happy with it, there are some times though when I have just become resigned to entering in my passcode. For example if I'm laying in bed and I want to unlock my phone, I don't want to have to sit up put the phone all the way in front of my face, get face ID to authenticate me, wake up the husband, wake up the dog, so I just enter in the passcode and it's that's even become a little bit faster. Bryan: My dad was having trouble with his phone recently and I finally found out what the problem was. Alison: Yeah. Bryan: He's running an iPhone 4. [Laughter] Alison: Oh for goodness sakes. Bryan: Yeah, I said.... Jeff: Wait, you, you said it's running. Bryan: Yeah, barely, yeah he can make phone calls that's about it, I said no wonder you're having so many issues with everything else and yeah, he's getting ready to get a new one because my mom did order the iPhone 10 and he's gonna get the hand-me-down. I guess he's gonna move up to a 6 which is all he really needs. Alison: Yeah. Oh that'll be quite an upgrade for him. Bryan: Oh yeah, yeah, so but, my mom's got the 10 coming, she's got the, she ordered it online and has the two to three week wait so, I will not, not get to play around with it while I'm down here and everything but I've been you know listening to you on with Dr. Robert Carter not to be confused with Dr. Richard Kimble. Not that anybody but me. Alison: Not to be confused with John Kimble yeah. [Laughter] Bryan: I thought of Richard Kimble immediately but I'm probably the only one that did that so but you know you guys had a great walkthrough of the iPhone 10 and somebody in New Zealand had something about unboxing one very early before the rest of the world which... Alison: Oh yes Jonathan was very very happy that you know, when these items come out he gets them a day ahead of everyone else because New Zealand is a day ahead. Jeff: He should let people know that. [Laughter] Alison: He really doesn't gloat about that enough no but yeah. Bryan: Allison did I hear you do laundry every now and then? Alison: Every now then, you know I, the house-elves or my husband will not comply and I have to do my own. Bryan: Are you testing out that new GE, was it the GE product that you're testing out? Alison: Yeah so, so I have purchased the GE talking laundry box and actually we were in the market for a new washer and dryer anyway so we got the compatible washer and dryer and I've actually been doing a lot more of my own laundry and enjoying the heck out of it now that we have this talking machine because it's so easy to set all you really have to worry about is the start button and the little knob that controls the settings because the different wash cycles, because it verbalizes everything, you turn the knob, it verbalizes if you're on like cold wash, or towels and sheets, or casual wear, or bulky items, and you press Start and it says starting load on bulky items with an estimated 70 minutes remaining and there's a button on the box that you can press if you need an update of what, of time remaining and the dryer is much the same you just mess with the one knob, you can set your cycle and it just works. Our old washer and dryer we had the little arrows marked, but the one thing would spin, and there was another arrow that you could accidentally move, and Jeremy was really the only person who could set it without getting the other thing to spin, so I'm glad to be able to have some agency over my laundry once again. Bryan: And this works with all GE washer and dryers I believe right? Alison: So on the website it does say that it is, should be compatible with most, it should be compatible with the ones that have the ports in the back, the technician ports, but then it says these are the compatible models and it lists just a couple of different models. Slightly more expensive, that are compatible, I think that you can get this to work with older GE models if it has the port for technicians to hook up, but it's better I think in terms of the software working is optimally as it can if you can buy the the newer ones. Bryan: Yeah full disclaimer if your washer and dryers from 1974 and is GE..... Alison: Probably not going to work. Jeff: I do laundry and the thing on my washer and dryer mostly my washer is, there's that plastic cover that covers things up so you can't really tell the dial, so I took a needlenose pliers, it was excruciating sounds but I got that piece off of there, then I put some little markers on there, so now I just put my finger down there and I just turn it and everyone uses it that way so, yeah I don't recommend anybody to take a needle nose and tear that apart unless you know what you're doing but, yeah that's how I access that. Bryan: Yeah when you're like me and you live in New York it's great because I've got like fluff and fold where they pick it up and deliver it and it's pretty cheap and yeah I'm spoiled like that I think I've mentioned that on the show before. One of the things we did want to mention to the listeners if you do not have knfb reader you're just making your life harder, and it's a phenomenal app, I believe and don't quote me on this but I believe it's on sale at least through Christmas for about 50% off. Normally it's $100.00, I believe now it's $49.95. Go ahead and get that app, you'll make your life a lot easier if you want to read your bills or anything along that. Jeff: I really think if you're a student that that's the app to have. Seeing AI is a good app for a convenience, it's just a quick shuffle through the mail, but if you're gonna do bulk reading or if you want to save it and all sorts of things, you know, that's a workhorse the knfb reader app. Alison: I agree. Bryan: Yeah luckily I think all of us have easy names to pronounce, but I have a friend named Keith Strohak, and every time I tell Siri call Keith Strohak, it says did you mean Keith Sholstrum, did you mean Keith Beyer. It drives me bonkers, I have to go in and manually do it and I will put this link in the show notes. Did you know that you could teach Siri how to save names properly? Jeff: Mm-hmm. Alison: Yeah. Bryan: Okay I was the one who didn't. By the way ask Siri to pronounce Charlize Theron because I heard that's another name that she can't pronounce. Alison: Oh boy. Bryan: Yeah so if you're if you're one of those people and your name is Mustafi Mustafasin or something, go ahead and read this link and you know, maybe you could teach Siri how to read your name and everything. Jeff: The trick about it is that it asks you for the first name and then it asked for the second name, well I didn't know it was doing that so I said Laurie Thompson that's my wife, and then I said Laurie Thompson again. I wondered why it asked me twice, so every time she calls, are you sure you want to call Laurie Thompson Laurie Thompson? I left it I thought it was kind of cute. Alison: That is. Bryan: Now Jeff was a great guy and he posted you know happy holidays to everybody on the Blind Abilities Facebook page and I chimed in with my typical bah humbug and he thought that was you know the happiest he's ever heard me, and that's because he didn't hear how mad I was that my old Grubhub app that I've been running for several years because GrubHub has refused update is now officially dead. I finally had to update it and I don't know what I'm gonna do because this happened shortly before I left New York. I kept getting server error, server error, and I could not do anything so I had to update the app, GrubHub prepare for the barrage because I am gonna be hammering you every day now with fixing your heading navigation. I don't know. Alison: Now that your life depends on it yeah. Bryan: Yeah you know. Jeff: It's time to get that Blind Alive app, get that exercise going. Alison: Yeah. Jeff: Screw GrubHub. Bryan: I still gotta order dinner. I still gotta order dinner and everything. Alison: Try Postmates, try Doordash, you said Eat24 doesn't.... Bryan: Doordash I just heard about so yeah that's one I want to check... Alison: Yeah Postmates is also very good. Unfortunately in Napa our only choice really is Eat24, and that only has a couple of options. Bryan: Yeah you know one of the other things I plan to do when I get back from Florida is, because I've been running my old laptop here my Mac air, and it's so nice because it's running Sierra, and things have been running so smooth, as soon as I get home one of my first acts to do, I'm rolling High Sierra back, have you guys, I know Jeff's been playing High Sierra, Allison, are you still using High Sierra..... Alison: I am and for the limited number of things that I do on my Mac it's absolutely fine, I haven't really had any problems. Bryan: Editing text, when you're working with a lot of text and emails or documents and everything, it just befuddles me and everything, you know sometimes you gotta use the option key, and I did report this to Apple, quick nav does you know, when you use quick nav with words, it does not follow the insertion point, we did test it it is getting kicked up to engineers, there is a navigation problem with quick nav in Hi Sierra. Alison: That's unfortunate. Jeff: Yeah I'm using the beta's and you know it keeps on changing so I don't really complain about it I just keep using it and I know, I know it'll get better, so I just putz with it. Bryan: Yeah well Jeff you said you're running the latest beta and it's, you've noticed an improvement so, maybe it won't be the first thing I do when I get back to New York you know, maybe I'll give it one more update. I am not running the beta so I never run the betas on my computer and the word to the wise if you value productivity do not run those betas. Alison: Yeah, or have a partition on your hard drive or a separate hard drive on which to run them. Jeff: Oh my MacBook Pro [Inaudible] I'm not doing the betas on that so I can always go back to that if I need to but, you know I I usually forget that I'm slowly tweaking my muscle memory like you said Allison, and pretty soon I'm just readjusted. Changes happen and I don't know. Alison: Yep. Bryan: Chit chit chit chit oh wait, do we have to play now to use that song? In a more positive segment, I know we've rolled through some some negativity here, we don't want to be negative all the time but you know these are just some things that were pissing Brian off now because, Brian's been known to get pissed off. I always like to hear you know, what you guys watching, what you're reading, you know especially the holiday time of the year, there's a lot of great content out there. Netflix just seems to be piping everything out. Allison what you watching, what you reading? Alison: Well I'm still trying to work my way through Narcos, I have not had as much time for for Netflix recently, but I've been reading this really great book, I'm not sure if it's available on any of the freebies, unbarred or well book sure it's not free but it's practically free. I got off of Audible it's my Brandon Sanderson it's called "The way of Kings" it's part of the Stormlight archive series, it's an epic fantasy series, long long books, the first book I think is 45 hours long and I'm about 2/3 of the way through it, and it is absolutely amazing it's quite frankly taken over a lot of my life this holiday weekend. [Laughter] But it's amazing. Bryan: Well we're thankful that you were able to fit time in for the podcast. [Laughter] Alison: I did, I did have to interrupt my reading to.... [Laughter] Bryan: That 45 hours, that might take me 4 and 1/2 years to get through. Alison: Well I read at speed, I'm not gonna lie, I cranked it up to 3x and I can understand it just fine, so I'll get through it pretty quickly, but there's then two other main books, and then a little novella in the middle to read so. Bryan: That's a, that's a big.... Alison: It's gonna be ten books so... Bryan: Wow, wow, what about yourself Jeff, you been reading anything, watching anything? I know you've had some time alone there or are you just thinking in the dark? Jeff: I really got nothing, I guess I am thinking in the dark, family's been gone and I've been catching up on a bunch of other things that I hadn't been able to get back t,o and yeah, I got to get back to it so sorry you don't have anything to contribute. Bryan: That's okay Jeff. Jeff: Oh sorry. Bryan: I just finished down here with my parents you know I, they they were very nice and they watched, because their sighted with described video, the second season of Stranger Things, and the first season if you have not seen it as phenomenal I said to myself I don't know how they're gonna do a second season. It was really good so, it was very enjoyable, if you have not checked out Stranger Things on Netflix, you're definitely gonna want to check that out. I know we're gonna watch another series on Netflix that just came out I'm blanking on the name, the guy that was in Dumb and Dumber, not Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels is in it, it's a Western that just came out on Netflix. I'm hearing great things about it of course I'm, like I said, God, Godlessness, or Godless or something, it's a Great Western, and I've heard from other people it's very good and everything and, yeah I've still got the same four books. You know it's so funny I'm one of those people that loads up all the audio digital content to all the devices for the travel and then I end up listening to podcasts that I have on my phone. [Laughter] During the travels so, like I said this is a That Blind Tech Show, we're gonna wrap it up here. We are at Blind Tech Show on Twitter. thatblindtechshow @gmail.com if you want to email us in let us know what you think, let us know what you like. You can download our feed through the Blind Abilities podcast speed of your podcast player of choice, victor reader stream or download the Blind Abilities app. Allison what do you have coming up the next few weeks leading into what's that holiday Christmas? Alison: Just a quiet Christmas at home, gonna take maybe a couple of days off and just probably still be reading the Stormlight archive honestly, although I, although I may do a reread of Harry Potter, I lead such an exciting life. [Laughter] Bryan: Nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with that. What about yourself Jeff, family coming back or have they given up on you? Jeff: My folks for 17 years they've been going down the Texas but they stayed up this year for the holiday so I got to go to spend time with them Thanksgiving. We were all up there and so they're here so we're gonna have Christmas there and my daughter and grandkids will be coming up mid-December, we try and offset it each year and so yeah, a lot of lot of family holidays and I want to, I want to see the Grinch again this year. Bryan: So you want me to come visit? [Laughter] Yeah I'm not a big holiday person so Thanksgiving I guess is our big holiday and, we just wrapped that up down here and Thanksgiving, I'll be heading back to New York in the next few days and you know, it's funny I'm sitting here in shorts and it's 80 degree weather so it doesn't feel like November, and then I'll go back to the 30 degree weather and, yeah amazingly Nash is not even shedding that much here in Florida, you would think he would get rid of that winter coat, but he is panting like it's August. This is That Blind Tech Show, maybe we'll have one more before the year hopefully, you know, all of our schedules have been so crazy we haven't been on a regular schedule, we plan to hopefully eventually get on it, but for now we are out. When we share what we see through each other's eyes, we can then begin to bridge the gap between limited expectations and the reality of blind abilities.

Matt Rosoff (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/30/red-hat-buys-coreos-for-250-mililon.html): “CoreOS has 130 employee…Docker, meanwhile, has raised more than $240 million.” 451 revenue estimates, July 2017 (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=92888), Jay Lyman: “CoreOS has about 120 employees [up from 75 reported in Sep 2016 (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=90146), “about 30 employees” in April 2015 (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=84913)], and estimated annual revenue in the $15-20m range.” Sep 2016 customers (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=90146): “CoreOS reports more than 1,000 paying customers across its products, with a solid group of CoreOS lightweight Linux clients and a growing number of Quay Enterprise and Tectonic customers.” Plus, Ibid.: “ The company says most revenue is coming from Amazon Web Services deployments, with some bare-metal, VMware and other deployments.” Good perspective on the big picture, from Al & Jay at 451 (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=1035&contactid=0033200001wgKCKAA2&entityId=94241&type=mis&utm_campaign=market-insight&utm_content=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_term=94241-Red+Hat+acquires+CoreOS+and+a+larger+stake+in+Kubernetes+for+%24250m): “Red Hat's efforts will likely be worthwhile because Kubernetes is more than just container management orchestration software and is actually a distributed application framework that is very well timed with enterprise adoption and use of multi and hybrid cloud infrastructures.” Product description from the same: “CoreOS Tectonic wraps services – such as automated operations, application services, governance, monitoring and portability – around the Kubernetes container management and orchestration software. Automated operations have been a key focus of the latest CoreOS Tectonic update, with capabilities such as automated patching, failover and high availability and automated cluster deployment included.” CoreOS describes itself: “CoreOS is the creator of CoreOS Tectonic, an enterprise-ready Kubernetes platform that provides automated operations, enables portability across private and public cloud providers, and is based on open source software. It also offers CoreOS Quay, an enterprise-ready container registry. CoreOS is also well-known for helping to drive many of the open source innovations that are at the heart of containerized applications, including Kubernetes, where it is a leading contributor; Container Linux, a lightweight Linux distribution created and maintained by CoreOS that automates software updates and is streamlined for running containers; etcd, the distributed data store for Kubernetes; and rkt, an application container engine, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), that helped drive the current Open Container Initiative (OCI) standard.” Synergy Corner! All ‘bout that k8s (https://coreos.com/blog/coreos-agrees-to-join-red-hat/): “Kubernetes is a leading container orchestration tool for organizations of all sizes, on its way to potentially becoming as ubiquitous as Linux….We are thrilled to continue this mission at Red Hat and work to accelerate bringing enterprise-grade containerized infrastructure and automated operations to customers.” But they also throw in that original mission: “our mission to make the internet more secure through automated operations.” 451 (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=1035&contactid=0033200001wgKCKAA2&entityId=94241&type=mis&utm_campaign=market-insight&utm_content=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_term=94241-Red+Hat+acquires+CoreOS+and+a+larger+stake+in+Kubernetes+for+%24250m): “Red Hat will continue to support CoreOS customers as it integrates Tectonic and other CoreOS technology into its own offerings, primarily OpenShift. Red Hat also indicates it will open-source the Tectonic software as it has with previously acquired technologies.” More on what Red Hat will do with it (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=1035&contactid=0033200001wgKCKAA2&entityId=94241&type=mis&utm_campaign=market-insight&utm_content=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_term=94241-Red+Hat+acquires+CoreOS+and+a+larger+stake+in+Kubernetes+for+%24250m): “Red Hat intends to leverage the CoreOS Tectonic container stack to bolster and enhance OpenShift and RHEL capabilities. In particular, Red Hat says the deal will help it to improve security of container and cluster deployments, enable portability of container applications across hybrid cloud infrastructures and further drive ease of use and automation in its software.” Combined market-share. This is based off early, CNCF surveys and such, but it’s likely a fine wet-finger-in-the-wind, from The New Stack (https://mailchi.mp/thenewstack/red-hat-takes-on-coreos?e=8cd1443862): “Our analysis of a CNCF survey (https://www.cncf.io/blog/2017/12/06/cloud-native-technologies-scaling-production-applications/) provides some answers. Out of the 34 CoreOS Tectonic users identified, five also use Red Hat’s OpenShift. Thus, the combined entity would still have just 14% of respondents using it to manage containers. Only 4 percent of Docker Swarm users said they also used Tectonic.” Wut? (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=1035&contactid=0033200001wgKCKAA2&entityId=94241&type=mis&utm_campaign=market-insight&utm_content=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_term=94241-Red+Hat+acquires+CoreOS+and+a+larger+stake+in+Kubernetes+for+%24250m): “According to a 451 Research Advisors project survey of 201 enterprise IT decision-makers at large container-using organizations in April and May 2017, three-quarters [75%] of them indicated that container management and orchestration software, such as Kubernetes, is sufficient to replace private cloud software, such as OpenStack or VMware. “ Bad day for beards (https://twitter.com/brianredbeard/status/958455929694953473). Coté wrote a the first 451 report on them in 2014 (https://451research.com/report-short?entityId=82252) - ain’t he precious! The wikibon crew says little revenue traction, and has a diagram (https://siliconangle.com/blog/2018/01/30/upping-bet-software-containers-red-hat-acquires-coreos-250m/). Some contributor boasting (https://twitter.com/openshift/status/958454802605846528): https://slack-imgs.com/?c=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FDU0dj7dW0AI5nlj.jpg More coverage: The Register (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/31/red_hat_coreos_acquisition/), click-slides at (https://www.crn.com/slide-shows/cloud/300098736/5-ways-red-hats-acquisition-of-coreos-will-shake-up-the-container-tech-landscape.htm) CRN (https://www.crn.com/slide-shows/cloud/300098736/5-ways-red-hats-acquisition-of-coreos-will-shake-up-the-container-tech-landscape.htm). The Heptio kubernetes distro…or not? Heptio releases it’s managed kubernetes service (https://blog.heptio.com/introducing-heptio-kubernetes-subscription-5415052ef374) (I get that right?) - how’d that Bluebox business work out? Or, wait, no: I think in this case, sometimes a distro’s just a distro (https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/30/heptio-launches-its-kubernetes-un-distribution/)….plz advise. Official page (https://heptio.com/products/kubernetes-subscription/), with a link to a PDF, even! Multi-cloud positioning (https://blog.heptio.com/introducing-heptio-kubernetes-subscription-5415052ef374) (they even italicized it!): “Just as container technology took off in large part to organizations’ move to the cloud, Kubernetes’ continued proliferation can be attributed to the growing importance of multi-cloud. Beyond the threat of lock-in to a single cloud provider — which is real — organizations need the flexibility to deploy applications in the environment where they are best suited. Kubernetes provides the right level of abstraction to deploy applications on a cloud solution and to an environment that looks and behaves the same on-premises.” # TAM: Container Cash Context “451 Research's Market Monitor expects the application container market to be worth $1.6bn in 2018 with a CAGR of 36% through 2021,” Al and Jay in the CoreOS acquisition write-up (https://451research.com/report-short?alertid=1035&contactid=0033200001wgKCKAA2&entityId=94241&type=mis&utm_campaign=market-insight&utm_content=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=sendgrid&utm_term=94241-Red+Hat+acquires+CoreOS+and+a+larger+stake+in+Kubernetes+for+%24250m). Also (https://twitter.com/451Research/status/951468844425646081): We now estimate total app container market revenue at just over $1.1bn for '17, growing at a CAGR of 35% to $1.6bn in '18. And some 451 numbers, from a recent webinar (https://451research.com/blog/1920-webinar-sizing-up-the-enterprise-container-market?&utm_campaign=2018_mmf_container_wb&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_content=webinar_reg&utm_term=2018_01_container_wb): https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_43192D9FD6DAEF29DA5AB89086C0521853B35FD68E4CC1C22FDD3869AFF34E5E_1517509288547_451+total+container+market.jpg Narrowing down to “orchestration”: https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_43192D9FD6DAEF29DA5AB89086C0521853B35FD68E4CC1C22FDD3869AFF34E5E_1517438115215_file.jpeg The rest of the taxonomy, numbers not in slides: https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_43192D9FD6DAEF29DA5AB89086C0521853B35FD68E4CC1C22FDD3869AFF34E5E_1517438262865_file.jpeg AWS snubs healthcare industry Not exactly the intended headline (http://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/technology/amazon-berkshire-hathaway-jpmorgan-health-care.html), I know. ”They decided their combined access to data about how consumers make choices, along with an understanding of the intricacies of health insurance, would inevitably lead to some kind of new efficiency — whatever it might turn out to be.” And also speculation of lame things like making booking doctors easier. Just lookin’ to make things cheaper (https://www.axios.com/amazon-berkshire-hathaway-jpmorgan-form-health-care-mega-company-cd47db44-7ce7-493e-bc79-6065601830af.html), no big deal. No details, but a theory (https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-6e2331f2-8bae-47f0-bcd4-d0f6c8f5a204.html?chunk=6#story6): “Based on the executives who have been named to top roles at the new company, Jefferies & Co. analyst Brian Tanquilut said there is a good chance it will eventually try to negotiate prices directly with health care providers like hospitals, bypassing companies that act as middlemen.” Ben’s on that aggregation theory shit (https://stratechery.com/2018/amazon-health/): ‘The key words there are “commoditize and modularize”, and this is where the option I dismissed above comes into play, but not in the way most think: Amazon doesn’t create an insurance company to compete with other insurance companies (or the other pieces of healthcare infrastructure); rather, Amazon makes it possible — and desirable — for individual health care providers to come onto their platform directly, be that doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, etc…. After all, if Amazon is facilitating the connection to patients, what is the point of having another intermediary? Moreover, by virtue of being the new middleman, Amazon has the unique ability to consolidate patient data in a way that is not only of massive benefit to patients and doctors but also to the application of machine learning.’ The upshot of all of this, at the moment, is that there were no details given and much fan-boy speculation typed up. Which is fine, please fix US healthcare. A perfectly done story from NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/30/technology/amazon-berkshire-hathaway-jpmorgan-health-care.html): lots of context, much speculation, and all sorts of input. Relative to your interests KuCisco - Cisco wants some of that sweet Kubernetes Kash (https://siliconangle.com/blog/2018/01/31/cisco-jumps-kubernetes-bandwagon-new-container-platform/): “The company said the Container Platform takes care of the “setup, orchestration, authentication, monitoring, networking, load balancing and optimization” of containers. Deployment of containers is also simplified through automation, as the platform takes care of the most repetitive tasks in this process. It can also be extended to other important aspects of IT, such as networking, security and more, officials said.” Private cloud boosters have a new URL to point to: “The era of the cloud’s total dominance is drawing to a close.” (https://www.economist.com/news/business/21735022-rise-internet-things-one-reason-why-computing-emerging-centralised) Sorry to make you look at this guy, but split view on the iPad is pretty cool, email and Newsify works too! https://d2mxuefqeaa7sj.cloudfront.net/s_43192D9FD6DAEF29DA5AB89086C0521853B35FD68E4CC1C22FDD3869AFF34E5E_1517403283557_file.jpeg Conferences, et. al.

What is it about you that makes you an entrepreneur in your field? 18:25 – Be 100% authentic by selling a part of yourself (authentic brand); get off the path of self-doubt and be yourself 19:35 – Figure out who will be your story carrier (Star Wars analogy) by being clear on whose life you’re making better 20:50 – How are you changing the customer’s life by being in it? 21:20 – Know the impact; a great product has personal ramifications 22:00 – Ask client, “Tell me how we’re making your life better.” (Über example) 23:40 – Sometimes what the customer loves isn’t fundamental 24:14 – Summary: Find out the “why,” authentic story, gain early adopters to believe what you believe, purchase, and tell people 25:40 – Get innovators and early adopters first then they’ll do the storytelling for you; evangelists become loyalists 26:20 – How do you find influencers/innovators/early adopters? 26:25 – Create a feedback loop, processes, and communicate with all your clients if you are a young company 27:18 – As the story grows and changes, people interact differently with it; let the brand adapt and change, and let customers run with it 27:45 – Create processes to collect data and a way for customers to talk back 27:58 – Have you created a way for customers to talk to one another (Dollar Shave Club example) 31:39 – If someone can’t hire a PR agency, what can they do? 31:47 – Susan’s talk, “The 7 Day PR Plan: How to Build your PR Plan in 7 Days Without Hiring an Expensive Agency Like Mine” 32:00 – She believes so many people need and deserve attention that will never hire a PR agency 32:19 – Susan’s “7 Day PR Plan” condensed 32:23 – Day One: Listen. Make sure you understand the journalist’s conversation before you pitch a reporter 32:35 – What is going on already in your space? Make a “Google Alert” for your top 5 competitors and their CEO, then you’ll get press coverage on your competitors 33:38 – Competitive intelligence is not for the CEO alone, make sure you share it with your team 33:56 – Day Two: Get Organized. Set up a Google Sheet that everyone in the office can access that has those articles, the name of the article, the reporter’s full name, Twitter handle, and email 34:19 – This is building a media list; get the processes in place to make those journalists your new best friends 34:45 – Day Three: Stalk...smartly! Stalk their social media accounts like Twitter and Instagram; Twitter is the media environment, follow your competitors (from another account and journalists from your personal account) 35:58 – Their bio gives personal information, you may have a lot in common with them 36:34 – Follow in silence for the first few weeks, then start complimenting them, opening up a conversation, and retweeting their stories 38:22 – Connect with the reporter on LinkedIn to get their email address 38:55 – Day 4: Newsify in True Anchorman Style 39:00 – Determine what is newsworthy in your world; figure out the message, determine what is headline-worthy, and see what that journalist finds newsworthy 39:40 – In the next 6 months, what are the 3 coolest things that are going to happen to your business that are worthy of being in the news? 40:00 – Examples: New rounds of funding, hiring a very senior level person, rolling out a new product, attacking a new market, expanding your current market, speaking at an event 40:40 – Find out your “news,” go back to your list of reporters, and pitch your “why” and story 41:20 – Day Five: Write your Pitch (no more than 100 words!) 41:59 – Come with respect, “every pitch is a gift,” and ask how you’ll make the journalist’s life better 42:36 – Think about how that pitch will transpire because there are 5 PR people for every 1 journalist: You’ll need a killer subject line to stand out 43:17 – The email should come from you identifying yourself as the one in power; this is just as important as your #1 sales prospect 43:39 – Make sure you’re current and know how the journalists compose their piece so you can compose your pitch accordingly; some love narrative, some love statistics, some use 3rd party experts 45:45 – Day Six: Get Ready for the Interview 45:50 – Make sure you have 3 key messages; no one can remember more than 3 things so say what you need to say in 3 bullet points 46:30 – 90% of your interviews will be by phone so smile, speak with passion, and get excited 47:21 – You want to stand out amongst all the phone interviews that journalist has; it may be the only opportunity you get to speak with that media outlet 47:56 – Follow-up: Take as much volume up on the page as possible to get the most clicks 48:10 – Pictures (360dpi at least), infographics, supporting media, linkable video, and background data give the journalist more to add to the piece 49:15 – Day 7: Share the Love 49:20 – Say thank you to the journalist, after the interview and after the piece comes out 49:50 – Share through your social channels and site, share with your mom, and use the press coverage in different ways 50:11 – Press coverage can be part of your email marketing campaigns and include links back to the journalists page so s/he gets credit and wants to do more pieces with you 50:57 – Show them that there’s momentum in your business and keep in touch for repeat business 52:00 – Susan’s “Why” 52:04 – To deliver amazing experiences with content that helps people create an impact on their world 52:15 – She connects with people and wants to share in a way that moves people to action with energy and humor 52:50 – She did stand up at a Comedy Club; when you can give people the experience of a lifetime, they become the best leaders they can be 53:38 – Advice for entrepreneurs: Be vulnerable, be willing to say “I don’t know” and people will rise to help  Key Points: Know your “why,” tell an authentic story, and let your early adopters do the storytelling for you.

Unsere Flugmaschine nähert sich dem Polar um einen Zwischenstopp beim dort ansässigen Rauschebart und Liebhaber des roten Samts zu stoppen. Dem Guten gehen nämlich die Ideen aus und deshalb müssen die Piloten ihm wahnsinnig gute Geschenkideen ins Diktiergerät husten. Nun, eigentlich hatten sie keine Wahl… denn sonst hätte es die Rute gegeben. Doch wie dem auch sei, daraus ist dann die Über-Mega-Pick-Show entstanden, welcher ihr heute andächtig lauschen dürft. Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Übersicht Die folgende Tabelle ist nicht chronologisch sortiert, sondern… so wie’s da drunten steht… nach Picker. Die Mega-Pick Übersichtstabelle inklusive Timecodes Gadgets Mac Apps iOS Apps Web Services oder Skripte Verschiedenes Sven Logitech Keys-To-Go (00:17:00) SuperDuper (00:37:40) Newsify (01:01:10) Trello (01:23:20) Trove (01:36:15) Quadcopter Blade Nano QX (00:24:40) Mailbox (00:46:40) Space Age (01:08:15) Kirby 2.0 (01:26:00) Stelton Pure Black Messer (01:40:40) Jawbone UP3 (00:31:20) Desk (00:56:30) das Referenz (01:18:18) Slack (01:30:20) Soulra FRX3 Kurbelradio mit USB-Ladeausgang (01:44:00) Patrick Sennheiser MM-550 (00:19:15) Airfoil (00:42:20) Voice Dream Reader (01:03:20) FileBot (01:20:00) Reosmods Reo Grand (01:32:00) Tom Bihn Ristretto (00:26:45) iTerm 2 (00:48:25) Due (01:10:00) BitTorrent Sync (01:24:50) Walter Moers - Stadt der Träumenden Bücher (01:38:00) Maglus Stylus (00:32:30) Asepsis (00:54:30) Nuzzle (01:14:40) Pow/Anvil (01:28:40) Sunflex snakebyte power:cub (01:44:00) Andreas Merkur Progress (00:28:45) Highland (00:40:00) Pinnacle Studio (01:08:15) Appbot (01:21:40) Fully Present, The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness (01:34:30) Türreck (00:34:00) Minecraft & Feed The Beast (00:44:40) Decim8 (01:11:15) Subtle Patterns (01:27:20) The War of Art - Steven Pressfield (01:42:30) Amadeus Pro (00:51:00) Outread (01:16:10) Neckar (01:49:30) ffmpeg (00:58:18) Link zum Bild: Aluhut Überbleibsel BEKANT Stehtisch Die elektrisch verstellbare Variante des von Patrick gepriesenen BEKANT sucht man leider — wie letzte Woche in den Show Notes schon angekündigt — auf der IKEA Website vergebens. Die Kommentare unter diesem Engadget Review sind da ganz aufschlussreich. Sieht so aus, als wenn ihr dieses Jahr keinen Weihnachtsbaum mehr auf den BEKANT Tisch stellen könnt. No notifications setup Andreas berichtet von seinem Zero notifications Experiment. Die Kurzfassung des Verlaufs: Er hat alle Notifications gelöscht, es dann doch nicht ganz ohne das geliebte Gebimmel ausgehalten und ist jetzt mit einer abgespeckten Variante Unterwegs. Die lange Version gibt es hier auf MOSX Tumblelog. Patrick hat nach dem Neuerwerb des letzten iPhones auch einmal ganz von vorne angefangen… aber mit der Minimalausstattung von 19 Notifications von Andreas kommt er bei weitem nicht mit. Omelette-Challenge Der amtierende und neue Omelette King sagt: … blubb, blubb, wabbel, wabbel, DANKE für euren Support. Omelette King Link zum Bild: Eierkopf Hier ist das stolze und durchaus eindeutige Ergebnis, welches gewisse Piloten in der Nacht immer noch schweißgebadet aufschrecken lässt. Nein Sven, es war kein Traum, das ist die bittere Realität. Link zum Bild: Wer ist der Omelette King? Nachspann: Da Andreas es nicht kennt mit der gewonnen Lebenszeit durch eingedampfte Benachrichtigungen 11 Minuten über hat ↓ Überschallneuigkeiten ScreenFlow 5 Ich kann ein bisschen über ScreenFlow 5 klagen. Das 5er ist schon gar nicht mal so gut. Andreas Zeitler Das ist die Quintessenz. Andreas als Profi-Bildschirm-Verdigitalisierer sieht die Bug-Tötungsliste und Wunschliste nicht erfüllt mit SF5. Sven findets’ trotzdem gut für den Hobbyhandwerker und Patrick stimmt da im Prinzip zu, auch wenn er sich mit den 10% Studentenrabatt schwer tut beim Erwerb… dürften gerne auch 20% sein von seinem Geldbeutel aus gesehen. Gadgets Hier gibt’s was zum anfassen. Logitech Keys-To-Go (Timecode 00:17:00) Klein, handlich, Spritzwasser-geschützt und in mehreren Farben erhältlich: Logitech’s Keys-To-Go. In Kürze für knapp 70€ im Handel. Link zum Bild: Keys-To-Go Alternative: myType™ Pocketable Bluetooth Keyboard for Phones & Tablets by myType™ Keyboard Sennheiser MM-550-X (Timecode 00:19:15) Sennheiser MM 550-X TRAVEL Nicht erschrecken da das Ding 350 € neu kostet. Denn ab 180 € gibt’s den schon gebraucht. Im übrigen hat sich kaum was zum Vorgänger Modell, dem MM-550 (ohne X), geändert. Hier noch einmal eine formschöne Tabelle mit den Hard-facts von Patrick: Der hat Klang! Selbst bei Bluetooth = Das Kaufargument schlechthin, wenn’s Bluetooth sein soll. ca 7m Reichweite Der ist komfortabel zu tragen – getestet gegen unzählige andere Kopfhörer. Patrick selbst hat daheim 3 Modelle und existiert quasi nur mit Kopfhörern auf dem Schädel (… auch Daheim). weich gepolsterten Kopfbügel + extra große Ohrmuscheln einen angenehmen Tragekomfort (trotz) geschlossene Bauweise Laufzeit: bis zu 20 Stunden Angegeben ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel Hörbücher/Podcast ca. 12 Stunden Ersatzakku würde 40 € kosten hochwertige Haptik wireless oder Kabel widerstandsfähig, faltbar Spielereien: SRS WOW HDTechnologie - Räumliches Klangbild… bei Hörspielen ganz nett Aufgeladen wird über USB Nachteile Kann nicht parallel mehrere Bluetooth Verbindungen aufbauen. Mac abmelden, iPhone anmelden Noise Canceling gut, aber nicht top. Bose ist da der Chef. Quadcopter Blade Nano QX (Timecode 00:24:40) Die perfekte Einsteiger Drone: Quadcopter Blade Nano QX für ca. 80€ bei Amazon. Link zum Bild: Drone Im großen Wirecutter Review als Übungsgerät empfohlen, bevor man dann eine 800€ Drone auf das Kirchendach oder in den Teich setzt. Fast alle Einzelteile einzeln und günstig nachzubestellen (Rotoren, Motoren, Gestell). Sehr robust und gut zu steuern. Kommt als Ready-to-Fly (RTF) mit Fernsteuerung. Für alle Dronen-Einsteiger oder Interessierten empfiehlt sich noch dringend die Lektüre von Paul Stamatiou’s “Getting Started with Drones”. Tom Bihn Ristretto (Timecode 00:26:45) Eigentlich kann man alles von Tom Bihn bestellen – qualitätstechnisch sind die echt super. Nur die Liefergebühren und der Zoll bereiten einem Bauchscherzen. Sein 11″ MacBook Air hat Patrick nicht mehr, aber die passende Ristretto Messenger Tasche (ab $110) leistet ihm noch treue Dienste. Egal was man jedoch bestellt, das wichtigste Upgrade ist der “Absolute Shoulder Strap”. Und für Fahrradfahrer ist das superhelle Guardian DF Light eine echte Empfehlung von Patrick. Die Batterie hält übrigens eine gefühlte Ewigkeit. Link zum Bild: Licht Review für Leser: Tom Bihn Ristretto MacBook Air bag Mark II Review für Glotzer: Merkur Progress (Timecode 00:28:45) Link zum Bild: Merkur Andreas schwört auf den Merkur Rasierhobel Progress 500. Das Ding sieht zwar antik aus, kann aber leicht verstellt werden und die Stufen sind somit anpassbar an eure derzeitigen Vorlieben und Hautbegebenheiten. Die passende Slideshare hat Andreas dazu schon gehalten auf einem Barcamp, deshalb gibt’s hier für euch nun “Die perfekte Rasur”: Die perfekte Rasur from Andreas Zeitler … inklusive dem passenden Gist. Jawbone UP3 (Timecode 00:31:20) Der Puls wird einbezogen und dadurch gibt’s wohl auch sowas wie eine flexible Weckzeit, welche Sven be-geist-teeeeeert. Vorbestellt werden kann der Spaß für 180 €. Link zum Bild: Up Applydea Maglus Stylus (Timecode 00:32:30) Nach der Studie von The Verge entschied sich Patrick damals dazu seiner Freundin den Maglus zu schenken. Heute belegt er dort immer noch den Platz 1 unter den Allroundern. Das Ding ist so gut, das er es sich dann 2 Jahre später selbst einen eigenen gekauft hat. Highlights: Magnetisch auswechselbare Spitze Die Spitze ist übrigens das Beste an dem Stylus. Wie er in der Hand liegt das Zweitbeste. Adonit’s Jot Pro hat es bei Patrick keine 2 Wochen ausgehalten, dann ging das Ding “return to sender”. Die anderen Stifte die Patrick ausprobiert hat sind nicht der Rede wert. Der Pencil ist jedoch immer noch sein Backup-Stylus. Dieser hat aber einige gravierende Schwachstellen, so findet der Verbindungsaufbau oft einfach nicht statt und frustriert wird dann zum Lieblingsgerät gegriffen, was halt nicht die neuen Features des Pencil’s hat. Das andere Problem, wenn er denn mal Verbunden ist, ist die Wisch-und-Schmier Funktion. Die wird nämlich immer dann spontan ausgelöst, wenn man sie gar nicht braucht. Hier noch mehr Meckerei, aber von jemand Anderem: The prices are truly insane for such a shitty product, for that kind of money I’d say it’s worth to buy a Wacom bamboo and get a ton better performance on your coffeshop creative session. Serious cash for a stylish pen with quite a few quirks and a best case bulky-crayon sketch feeling. Either a Wacom bamboo digitizer or the Adobe ink kit. CRKT Türreck (Timecode 00:34:00) Link zum Bild: Türreck Ob @Zettt’s Kettler Türreck Multi oder Patrick’s Powerbar 2… dieser Pick sollte euch wieder hochziehen, wenn ihr gerade down seid. Powerbar 2 Demonstration from Innovation Fitness on Vimeo. Doch genug der schlechten Wortspiele, jetzt geht’s zu den… Mac OS X App Picks … und die sind einfach… SuperDuper (Timecode 00:37:40) Die kostenfreie Version von SuperDuper! ist echt gut… kann zum Beispiel auch bootbare Backups erstellen. Das wusste Patrick noch nicht. Der kennt nur 24,68 €, welche auch steuerbare Backups erlaubt. Highland (Timecode 00:40:00) “Distraction-free screenwriting” gibt’s mit Highland für 26,99 €. Andreas will damit eure kreative Ader fördern. Dazu passend ein 1½ Minuten langer Stummfilm: Highland Promo from Quote Unquote Apps on Vimeo. Airfoil von Rogue Amoeba (Timecode 00:42:20) Die Streaming-Wahl von Patrick, wenn es darum geht Sound vom Mac ans iPhone zu schicken oder umgedreht. Das ganze kostet $25 für den Mac, bzw. Airfoil Remote für iOS gibt’s schon ab $5. Warum das so cool ist für Podcasts hat Patrick hier beschrieben. Mittlerweile haben Pocket Casts und Overcast auch web player – weshalb Patrick’s Methode tendenziell weniger zum Einsatz kommt. Trotzdem, nur so kann er Smart Speed von Overcast auch am Mac nutzen ohne Kopfhörerwechsel. Minecraft bzw. Feed The Beast (Timecode 00:44:40) Von Puzzlern, bis überleben, bis… was weiß die Redaktion. Andreas spielt’s und sein Zockerherz lacht freudestrahlend. Minecraft Modpacks: Direwolf20 | Feed the Beast Mailbox for Mac (beta) (Timecode 00:46:40) Zur Zeit nur GoogleMail und iCloud. Mehr Protokolle und Provider sollen folgen. http://www.mailboxapp.com iTerm 2 (Timecode 00:48:25) Der Terminal-Ersatz names iTerm2 kann… 256 colors for vim slide-out shell Split views shortcuts für SSH Verbindungen suche (in der aktuellen session), selbst mit Regex hochgradig konfigurierbar themes für verschiedene Verbindungen iTerm2 supports user-defined triggers keybindings, regex-Magie ↓ iTerm2 supports user-defined triggers, which are actions that run when text matching a regular expression is received. You can use it to highlight words, automatically respond to prompts, notify you when something important happens, and more. PS: Über das Uberspace-Drama hat Nils K. hier was geschrieben. Amadeus Pro (Timecode 00:51:00) Das Urgestein schlechthin in Sachen Audio-Editing für $60. Vor- und Nachteile direkt im Podcast. Asepsis (Timecode 00:54:30) Asepsis (von Binary Age) ist ein System Helferlein, welches die Erstellung von .DS_Store Dateien unterbindet Funktionsweise: Installiert einen daemon und legt die .DS_Store in /usr/local/.dscage an. Ergebnis: Sauberer Finder (gerade als Path Finder Nutzer sehr angenehm. Auflistung: Was alles in .DS_Store Dateien gesammelt wird. Metadaten halt… Position der Icons, Ansichtseinstellungen vom Finder Fenster und noch ein paar Schmankerl aus dem Inspektor. Wollt ihr wissen warum .DS_Store ein Kacklösung ist, dann hier weiterlesen. Tipps: Löscht alle .DS_Store in einem Ordner (auch global auf die Root Partition anwendbar, einfach statt ./ nur / schreiben). sudo find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} ; Aber… wir installieren ja so ein Tool, damit wir es einfacher haben. Statt löschen heißt es umziehe: asepsisctl migratein Danach könnt ihr per find . -iname .ds_store ob das auch gefruchtet hat. Übrigens könnt ihr das erstellen dieser Dateien auf Netzwerk Datenträgern (z.B. alles was per USB angeschlossen wird) komplett unterbinden: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true Klar gibt’s auch ne’ Warnung: 1x bei Binary Age 1x bei Apple: “Get Info Comments May Not Appear for Remote Volumes” Desk (Timecode 00:56:30) Für 26,99 € gibt’s Desk, einen minimalisitschen Blogging Client, von Sven empfohlen. Eine veritable Konkurrenz zu MarsEdit. Minimalistischer Desktop Writing und Blogging Client. Unterstützt folgende Plattformen: Wordpress (selbst gehosted und Wordpress.com) Blogger Tumblr Squarespace Movable Type Typepad Facebook Notes ffmpeg (Timecode 00:58:18) Nach dem Urgestein für Audio-Editing gibt es jetzt von Andreas das Gegenstück zum Video konvertieren auf der Kommandozeile. Ein echtes Schmuckstück, welches im übrigen fast jeder Video-Konverter nutzt. iOS App Picks Newsify (Timecode 01:01:10) Sven ist begeistert vom Zeitungslayout dieses RSS readers. Co-Pilot Patrick spamt derweil seine Meinung in den Chat. Link zum Bild: Newsify Fan Wer mehr Drama will, muss reinhören. Voice Dream Reader (Timecode 01:03:20) Quelle: Voice Dream für 8,99 € (eine Lite Version zum Testen gibt’s umsonst). Gute Stimmchen ((im Podcast auch live)): Deutsch: Julia (Acapela) 1,79 €/Hans (Ivona) 4,49 € UK Englisch: Emma (Ivona) 4,49 €/Brian (Ivona) 4,49 € Alternative die nicht wirklich Alternativen sind: NaturalReader for Mac $69.50 NaturalReader Cloud $99/Jahr für Web App, iOS & Android Apps naltatis/instapaper2podcast Pinnacle Studio (Timecode 01:06:45) Video Editing auf iOS. 8,99 € für’s iPhone und 11,99 € für das iPad vom Avid Ableger Pinnacle. Andreas’ Empfehlung für um schnell Mal Live-Dokumentationen zusammenzuschrauben. Space Age (Timecode 01:08:15) Patrick’ jauchzt-heult im Hintergrund als Sven seinen hervorragenden 3,59 € Pick vorstellt. Die Vorfreude ist groß bei ihm, denn Sven redet allen den Mund wässrig. Due.app (01:10:00) Der beste Timer unter iOS ist für 4,49 € erhältlich. Das Hammerfeature schlechthin - neben einem exzellenten Support von URL schemes: Die nervigen Erinnerungen die erst aufhören sich zu wiederholen, wenn man sich drum kümmert. Decim8 (Timecode 01:11:15) Decim8 kann für 1,79 € professionell eure Bilder zerstören. Wenn das kein Pick ist, dann weiß die Redaktion es auch nicht. Ein artverwandter Nachtrag von Patrick findet sich hier bei den Münchnern von Spektrum 44 (in Form von Wallpapers für’s iPhone 6). Nuzzle (Timecode 01:14:40) Nuzzle gibt euch ein personalisiertes Best of Retweets für euer Twitter. Kostenlos für iOS und im Web. Alternative web app: Vellum Outread (Timecode 01:16:10) Bei Outread sagt Andreas “Finally a Speed Reading App That Understands Speed Reading””. das Referenz (Timecode 01:18:18) Das Referenz: Wikipedia für 4,49 € für Sven die Wikipedia app. Web Apps oder Skripte FileBot (Timecode 01:20:00) FileBot - The ultimate TV and Movie Renamer / Subtitle Downloader. Der Name ist Programm, es gibt keine Gott, außer Bela, Farin, Rod FileBot. Appbot (Timecode 01:21:40) https://appbot.co Trello (Timecode 01:23:20) Super Listen-Organisierer mit dem nach noch suparara kollaborieren kann. Sven bevorzugt Trello gegenüber Asana und Co. Patrick findet die Touchsteuerung auf iOS sehr gelungen. BitTorrent Sync (Timecode 01:24:50) Sync ist Patrick’s neuster Held auf allen Plattformen: überall verfügbar schnell Ordern frei wählbar und ultra-konfigurierbar Kirby 2.0 (Timecode 01:26:00) PHP-Programmierer Sven F. nutzt Kirby um seine Blog rauszuhauen. Deshalb gibt’s das datenbanklose CMS auf Ordnerbasis empfohlen. Kostenlos testen, privat nutzen für 15 € oder geschäftlich für 79 €. Subtle Patterns (Timecode 01:27:20) http://subtlepatterns.com Dort gibt’s Hintergrundmuster für euch. Schlicht und einfach schön. Ein Photoshop-Plugin gibt’s auch gegen bare Münze. Pow (und/oder Anvil für den Mac) (Timecode 01:28:40) Zero-configuration Rack server for Mac OS X Kommandozeile: Pow GUI Version: Anvil for Mac - Run your sites locally Andreas wirft noch Vagrant mit rein, von dem er letztens gehört hat. Das kann allerdings noch viel viel mehr. Slack (Timecode 01:30:20) Slack ist der Hammer, wenn es um Anbindungen von anderen Web Apps und Co. geht. Das ganze ist unglaublich gut beim kollaborieren. Klare Pilotenempfehlung. Viel zu gut für kostenlos laut Patrick. Aber weil mehr Zahlen will hat folgende Optionen: Link zum Bild: Slack … über die er sich auf der offiziellen Webseite weiter informieren kann. Verschiedenes So… jetzt geht’s in zeitlerische Gefilde. Reosmods (Timecode 01:32:00) Dampfen ist teuer, weil man viel zu viel ausprobiert. Jeden Tag kommt was neues von irgendeinem Tüftler und wird gehypt ohne Ende. Zudem gibt’s noch jede Menge schlechter Tips. Damit will Patrick jetzt eine Ende machen, denn Reosmods ist der heilige Gral. Punkt. Satzende. Link zu größerem Bild: Reos Die Webseite ist ein Graus, aber ihr packt das schon: reosmods.com Den Mod gibt’s ab $146 … oder um die 80 € gebraucht. Anleitung zum bestellen: Auf “Shop > Mods” klicken Eine Low profile Reo grand und/oder eine Low profile Reo Mini raussuchen Auf “Shop > Rebuildable atomizer & supplies > Rebuildable atomizer & supplies” klicken Dort einen low profile Reomizer (2.0) nehmen und wohl fühlen. Kanthal A1 32 gauge mitbestellen und es glühen lassen. Vielleicht noch Ersatzmagneten für die Tür mitbestellen und ein paar Dichtungsringe. Bei Akkuteile eine VTC5 ordern. Warten auf die Post. Dampfen. Wer geduldig ist warten noch ein, zwei Monate, den dann gibt’s ein revolutionäres neues 510er Gewinde mit oben drauf vom Modvater Rob. Informationsbedürftige schauen bei Germanvapers im REO Talk vorbei. Hier Patrick’s Dampfer-Werdegang: Im Jahre 2010 war ich bereits 5 Jahre Nichtraucher. Aber habe so einiges vermisst: Rituale und Wolken pusten. Im Oktober 2010 stolperte ich über “Vaping”. Natürlich habe ich vorher schon einmal von der E-Zigarette gehört, aber die richtige Informationsflut habe ich erst dann auf mich einstürmen lassen, da mich Alternativen zu gängigen, super-teuren Vaporizern interessiert haben – ja, die Dinger die meistens zum Gras rauchen benutzt werden. Die Entscheidung viel positiv für’s Dampfen aus und ich ging von einer Totally Wicked Ego zur europäischen Ego, und dann immer weiter von Ego zu Ego. Vier Stück an der Zahl sollten es werden. Irgendwann kamen die ersten Tanks und ich habe eine Menge durchprobiert. Da die Ego’s nach einer Weile ziemlich ermüdend sind, wenn man viel dampft, bestellte ich mir rund ein Jahr später eine schwarze ProVari, welche mittlerweile - dank eines Defekts - auch einen V2 Chip drinnen hat und mich mit grünen LED’s anleuchtet immer wenn ich auf “FEUER” drücke. … okay nicht ganz die Wahrheit. Kurz nach der Ego hatte ich noch eine schwarze Silver Bullet die mir 6 Monate vor der ProVari treue Dienste leistete. Es folgten noch mehr Tanks, ein Versuch mit dem Bulli A1 und dann wieder Tanks. Letzten Endes war ich nie zufrieden mit Tanks…. Entweder der Geschmack ließ zu wünschen übrig (z.B. mag ich Carto’s überhaupt nicht) oder die Dinger sifften nach einer Weile. Frei nach dem Motto “Back To The Roots” wurde ich zum überzeugten Tröpfler und auf die ProVari kam ein eBaron The Dripper. Bis vor ein paar Monaten fand ich dieses 1-2-3 Setup relativ entspannt und gut. Doch dann… … dann entdeckte ich die Bottom-Feeder. Ich bestellte mir einen goldigen VV Reo Grand. Von der Benutzerfreundlichkeit und der Akkulaufzeit eine wahre Erleuchtung. Geschmacklich ebenfalls Oberliga. Auf das schmucke Stück kam dann ein eBaron The Spiral und gut ist…. Der Reo gefiel mir so gut, dass ich vor 2 Wochen überlegte, mir noch einen zu ordern, um nicht immer warten zu müssen, bis die 6 ml Flasche leer ist, bevor ich mal den Geschmack wechsele. Bevor ich aber noch einen in die Jahre gekommenen Mod bestellte, dachte ich bei mir: Informiere dich vorher noch einmal. Gesagt, getan. 2 Wochen Recherche und viele Rip Trippers Videos auf YouTube später viel die Entscheidung es noch einmal mit einem RDA zu probieren. Rip Trippers hat mir das schmackhaft gemacht und die Vorteile (in kurz: mehr Geschmack, mehr Dampf, mehr Rituale, mehr Optionen) aufgezeigt. Zudem ist mir die Nerdigkeit von dem Kerl sehr sympathisch - ich bin da genauso, wenn auch mit Computern und Skripten. Fully Present, The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness (Timecode 01:34:30) Von Ω zu Ommm. Was für Körper und Geist gibt’s hier von Andreas empfohlen: http://marc.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=60 Trove (Timecode 01:36:15) Minimalisten Geldbörse. So fern man nur mit Karten im klassischen Kreditkartenformat und ein paar gefalteten Geldscheinen klarkommt ist Trove nicht nur ein sehr kleines, sondern auch sehr cleveres “Geldbörs’chen”. Sven schwört jeweils darauf und hat sich mittels Kickstarter-Kampagne gleich eines der ersten Exemplare gesichert. Hergestellt von einer der letzten britischen Lederfabriken gibt es Trove ab 30 GBP/ca. 38 EUR. Walter Moers - Stadt der Träumenden Bücher (Timecode 01:38:00) Walter Moers - Stadt der Träumenden Bücher (Hildegunst von Mythenmetz) Genre: Fantasy Autor: Walter Moers Denkt sich allerlei Figuren und Charaktere fernab von Humanoiden aus, welche alle im Mikrokosmos Zamonien zu Hause sind. Gerade für Kenner der klassischen Literatur auch auf der Metaebene sehr geil. Vergleich: Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next Serie wo in die Welt der Bücher hineingegangen wird. Hier genauso nur ganz anders. Protagonist: Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, ein fetter, arroganter, in sich selbst verliebter Autor, der keinerlei Kritik an seinem Werk duldet (Dinosaurier). Anbei ein Gedicht von einem anderen Schriftsteller in Roman selbst… als Meta… keine Angst… das Buch ist normal geschrieben. Bin schwarz, aus Holz und stets verschlossen Seitdem mit Stein sie mich beschossen In mir ruh’n tausend trübe Linsen Seitdem mein Haupt ging in die Binsen Dagegen helfen keine Pillen: Ich bin ein Schrank voll ungeputzter Brillen Danzelot von Silbendrechsler Stelton Pure Black Messer (Timecode 01:40:40) Sven schwört auf sein Stelton aus schwarzem Stahl. Die gibt’s zwischen 80 und 90 Euros. The War of Art (Timecode 01:42:30) Steven Pressfield’s Buch kämpft mit euch um Kunst und das Schreiben von Büchern gegen kreative Blockaden und Co. Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got. Steven Pressfield, The War of Art Soulra FRX3 Kurbelradio mit USB-Ladeausgang (Timecode 01:44:00) So… es ist soweit… nach nur 17 Folgen kommt nun der erste Zeitler-Pick in Reinkultur… dieses Mal aber von SVEN. Mein Gott… es färbt ab. “K-U-R-B-E-L-R-A-D-I-O”. Das muss man sich auf der Zunge zergehen lassen. Sven’s Überleitung ist “BLACKOUT - Morgen ist es zu spät” von Marc Eisberg lesen. Danach ist nämlich ein Kurbelradio mit Solarpanel und der Möglichkeit der autonomen Geräteaufladung ein “Minimalinvestment”. Patrick zieht bei so viel Fnords direkt mal den Aluhut auf, um auf der sicheren Seite zu sein. Link zum Bild: ALU-SCHUTZ Währenddessen kramt Andreas sein Minimalinvestment aus dem Keller und sorgt für kurbelnde Erleuchtung. Link zum Bild: Kurbellicht Egal. Sven hat nach nächtelanger Recherche das Soulra FRX3 Kurbelradio als eines der Besten Minimalinvestements (dieses mal franz. betont lesen) herausgefiltert. Für schlappe 70€ gibt’s das bei Amazon und der nächste Blackout wird zur Gaudi… fehlt nur noch Dosenwurstsuppe im Zwölferpack… aber die pickt er bestimmt nächste Woche. Sven hat auch noch eine authentische Top-Bewertungen bei Amazon ausgegraben die ihn restlos vor dem Kauf überzeugt hat: ★★★★★ Tolles gäret Ich habe das gäret gekuaft uber shop hat super klang mit diesem gäret können sie handy aufladen mit aux ausgang können sie ihe mp3 oder handy verbinden und music horen und kann 3 fach aufladen mit usb uber strom mit solar und…. ja bei mir ein super gäret Patrick als alter Linguist sieht da eher seine nächste Mission. Und zwar den Bildungsauftrag seinem Co-Pilot einen der schönsten deutschen Dialekte näher zu bringen: .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } Kiezdeutsch - “Isch geh Prinzenbad” Sunflex snakebyte power:cub (Timecode 01:48:00) Ein schicker Verteiler in Würfelform. Sunflex snakebyte power:cube Extender Universal. Konkurrenz allocacoc PowerCube wurde von Patrick zurückgeschickt: 0,5 Ampere = zu wenig Most, der snakebyte liefert 2.1 Ampere. Alternative: Nur USB? Billig muss es sein? Anker® 40W 5V / 8A 5-Port USB Ladegerät mit PowerIQ Neckar (Timecode 01:49:30) So wie es sich anhört freut sich Sven mit seinem JAWOHL!! mehr über den Pick von Andreas als dieser selbst. Die Nachricht ist jedoch simpel: Geh’ mal an die frische Luft, oh Hörer. In Spenderlaune? Wir haben Flattr und PayPal am Start und würden uns freuen.
