1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,280 What the heck does Chris say? Welcome to Comfort Zone, a 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,760 podcast all about pushing your hosts well outside their comfort 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,400 zone. My name is Matt, and I am not 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,720 Christopher Lawley, but that's OK. 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,960 He's somewhere in the world getting a puppy, which is about 6 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,120 as nice a day as you can have, I think. 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,160 So in his stead, it is just me and Neilion. 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,080 Neilion, how are you doing? Hello, I'm doing well. 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,600 Thank you, I'm still in a semi void as we're still moving 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,600 stuff. You have a little bit of color 11 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,160 there though. Yeah, still, that's part of the 12 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:42,080 stuff that I'm still haven't taken apart, but yes. 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,880 Nice, that's exciting. Very exciting things all around 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,280 in the comfort zone world. Well, should we get to our tiny 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,240 topics? I see there's a tiny topic about 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600 tiny start. Yes, I almost cannot believe it. 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,120 Link in the description once again. 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,480 Yes, just to like it. It's a bit of self promotion, I 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,720 guess, but that's what we do on this show. 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,240 I have pushed yet another update to tiny start this one like it's 21 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,840 been a while. It's been. 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,800 I took, I don't know about two or three weeks to do this one 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,680 because I want to take my time, don't want to rush anything. 24 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,720 I, I, I know, I, I with when I get really into a project, I 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,600 will rush stuff because it's just, it's the impulse to, to 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,000 just release stuff and keep iterating. 27 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,240 But I'm trying to force myself to take my time because hundreds 28 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,960 of people are using this now and I'm really don't want to push 29 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,680 anything that breaks stuff. So really got to make sure that 30 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,040 things are working. So yeah, this new update I 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,640 released yesterday as we were recording is it adds something 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,680 that a ton of people have been suggesting, and it makes a lot 33 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,280 of sense. I should have thought of it 34 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,920 sooner. Now there's a setting to 35 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:12,840 preserve the content of your search field when you quickly 36 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,680 dismiss and reinvoke Tiny Start. And you can configure this, it's 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,520 a setting, a new setting in the general tab in Tiny Start, you 38 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,560 can set it to 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, one minute, 39 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,640 2 minutes, 5 minutes. By default it's set to 20 40 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,240 seconds. So if, for example, this is very 41 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 useful if you're doing calculations while referencing 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,240 something else on screen. So you're doing just like 2 + 2. 43 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,800 OK, now you're looking at another number and clicking 44 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,400 around and now you have a new number that maybe you want to 45 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,320 add to that previous calculation. 46 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,680 You reinvoke tiny start or no, it's gone. 47 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000 That was what it was before, but now it's still here. 48 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,080 The 2 + 2 is still here. If you're within that window 49 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,040 that that time window that you set up, you can quickly like 50 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,720 resume a previous search. And of course, if you don't want 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,000 that, you can also set it to clear immediately. 52 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,360 And so, yeah, so that you have the old behavior, but also you 53 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,760 can set it to never, never clear the search field. 54 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,560 So that yeah, even if it's been a few hours, if you reinvoked 55 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,240 any start, you will still have your old query in there with the 56 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,040 your last query in there with the last search results that go 57 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,840 with it. Perhaps this is nice for people 58 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,680 who don't find use in like by default. 59 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,800 When you look Tiny Start, it shows you like some of the 60 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,600 frequent apps that you launch or the recently launched apps. 61 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,240 If you don't find any use for that, you can set it to never 62 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,080 and then Tiny Start will always display the last thing you 63 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,840 searched for. So yeah, I would like it. 64 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,760 That's pretty cool. I don't know if I've ever seen 65 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,840 anyone implement the never option. 66 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,920 I know, but I guarantee you there's someone out there who's 67 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,600 like, finally someone. Did. 68 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Yeah, Maybe. Maybe. 69 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,200 Nice. OK. 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,560 Yeah, that is one of the things I do like is like, yes, being 71 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,920 able to come back to a thing a few seconds later and then it's 72 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640 still being there so I can keep working and calculator is 100% 73 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,120 the thing for me as well. There's another way to do this 74 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,600 like like ray cast where you can do arrow up. 75 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,120 I think to go back through your history of recent queries and I 76 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,000 thought about doing this, but I think that's like a step too 77 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,880 far, especially for the feature set that I have. 78 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,920 Like it's, it's still a very basic launcher compared to Ray 79 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,680 cast. I guess in Ray cast it makes 80 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,920 sense because you do much more complex queries. 81 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:57,200 You may be talking to extensions and filling in fields with those 82 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,640 extensions. There's none of that in tiny 83 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,280 style. I don't feel like there's a use 84 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:05,680 for just keeping a history of your hundred last search, yeah. 85 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,480 It would be like, would you rather type in the first few 86 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,800 letters of the app name or arrow up until you see it again. 87 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,800 Yeah. I don't know. 88 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,360 That doesn't seem as useful. I agree. 89 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,040 Keep it tight. Nice. 90 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,920 Yeah, that's right. OK. 91 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,320 And now the next one. I don't wanna play the music. 92 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,160 We could play the music and no one would stop us. 93 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:36,200 It's the browser podcast, baby, yes, and there's nothing Chris 94 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,480 can do to stop us. He's not here. 95 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,120 He doesn't have a say. He he's not even there in the 96 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880 corner moaning. He's just not here. 97 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,000 But yes, the browser podcast, just because you posted 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760 something on Mastermind that made me think you posted the 99 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,120 other day. What was it again you were 100 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,640 saying that how AI browsers or not? 101 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,360 The the agentic IAI browsers that were like, we will browse 102 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,480 the web for you. It seems like nobody cares about 103 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,680 those anymore at all. They were a flash in the pan. 104 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800 People are paying 200 bucks a month to like get access to 105 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,840 these like Comet and I'm projecting here and Atlas and 106 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:21,360 all these browsers and now it's like nobody even talks about 107 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,640 these. Nobody wants them. 108 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,200 It seems like it's not a thing. Yeah, they came and went a bit 109 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:33,400 and it made me think, it made me want to check out Dia again. 110 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,920 It's been like, I don't know, a couple of months since I last 111 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,520 launched it and I've got a new Mac so I had to install it again 112 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,840 I guess because maybe I uninstalled it before because 113 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,640 that's why it was not part of my when I my transfer when I move 114 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,360 the Max. I could see that happening. 115 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,080 I feel like sometimes an app crosses into cringe territory 116 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,840 for you and it just has to go and I feel like. 117 00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,600 Oh, that's, that's what happened. 118 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,520 Yes. It got to cringe and yeah, 119 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,000 that's right. So I installed it again and 120 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,840 yeah, it's really good. Like in terms of UI, these 121 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,080 people are good, like some really good designers of the 122 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,640 over there. And yeah, your post made me 123 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,360 think about it because DIA is a very good browser and it's not 124 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,600 because of the AI stuff. It still has the chat sidebar. 125 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,680 It it can still do ChatGPT, whatever stuff when when you 126 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,200 press, when you go into new new tab and type it, type out a 127 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,960 question or a query, whatever that's still there. 128 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,720 But apart from that, it's just a very good browser. 129 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,600 It's just a very good new iteration of Ark. 130 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,760 The sidebar is amazing. They recently like released an 131 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,360 update, which is what I've LinkedIn the notes where they 132 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,120 kind of revamped a little bit the design of the sidebar and 133 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480 the way tabs look and feel. They added a bunch of tiny 134 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,000 animations everywhere that look really nice. 135 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,440 The download animation, have you seen that? 136 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Oh yeah, I've seen woo this. Yeah, this made me jump actually 137 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,920 the other day. Like I downloaded like an Excel 138 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:25,720 file for for something. Yeah, it just flies out into the 139 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,240 download button. This is fun, Yeah. 140 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,600 And they, the way they re fought the sidebar, it's kind of like 141 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,039 ARC where you can have, you can pin tabs at the top and they are 142 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,120 big squares that you can click on. 143 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,000 And now they also have groups that you can pin. 144 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,640 You can pin groups, which kind of resembles the way you could 145 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,200 create folders in the sidebar before. 146 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,400 Yeah, it's kind of the new approach on that. 147 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,480 It feels compared to ARC and works really well. 148 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,000 Yeah. You can customize the colors, 149 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,520 the icons. It's a very good URL browser for 150 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,080 power users who who are really into the sidebar. 151 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,440 Want something that feels really native. 152 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,080 It's so fluid to like when you just moving stuff around. 153 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240 Very fluid compared to even Vivaldi. 154 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,880 Vivaldi is so awesome, but it's not native and you can feel it. 155 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,720 Yeah. Yeah, no, it's super rad. 156 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,560 It, it's continues to be my favorite browser for work stuff. 157 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120 It's I think it's really nice when you have like websites that 158 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,800 are just always open. If you have like Google Docs 159 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,680 that you are just constantly going back to if you have your 160 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:45,840 Gmail, like, yeah, if you just have like apps in your browser, 161 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,120 I think it's really awesome for that. 162 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:51,840 So yeah, it's it's fantastic. It's it's really, really good. 163 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,400 They kind of just made a better version of Arc, and that's fine 164 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,400 for me, I guess. I'm less grumpy than I was two 165 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,120 years ago. And they were like, we're giving 166 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,120 up Ark 'cause I'm. But it looks like they've, they, 167 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,640 they, they, they agree with their people, like their users. 168 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,560 I'm, I'm supposing they most of the feedback they've got since 169 00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:20,680 Ark is people who have been in love with Ark before and just 170 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:25,080 want that to continue on. And yeah, they got it. 171 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,840 I think they got it. Remember my prediction for the 172 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,680 year, our yearly prediction on the show, which was I believe my 173 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:37,560 prediction was twofold, is first arc Zia has become is Arc is 174 00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:40,160 going to die. They will kill off Arc and they 175 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,000 will rename Zia to Arc, which is a wild prediction. 176 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,040 Yes. So yeah. 177 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,240 And the second fold is they will let you disable all the AI 178 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,400 features in the new arc slash the and they've started doing 179 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,400 that because now you can disable the fact that it routes you to a 180 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,840 ChatGPT kind of UI when you do search in a new tab. 181 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,680 Oh, I need to find that because it always annoys me when it does 182 00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:13,040 it because it's not like real ChatGPT. 183 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,520 So like, it's not quite what I want. 184 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,880 And it tries to detect if you want to do web search or if you 185 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,320 want to talk to the AI. But no, now you can go to 186 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:27,520 advanced and set the what is it address bar and you set that to 187 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,640 prefer search engine and it will never route you to the chat. 188 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,160 OK, but if it's prefer I bet I could manually select it if I 189 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,120 wanted. Yes, it's still an option that 190 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,320 you have to arrow down to. Gotcha. 191 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,880 This is perfect. This is great. 192 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:43,320 Yeah, Thank you for making DIA better. 193 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,960 Then we have some listener feedback I wanted to share. 194 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,320 First, we have Max and Joe who have written in a few times 195 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,080 before. I think it's the only duo of 196 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,160 people who write in. But this is so funny. 197 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,400 Like people who their online personas are, we are a duo. 198 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,640 Yeah, some people do that. Like they even have social media 199 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,120 accounts in common and all really. 200 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Suppose most of the time it's couples, but not often, not 201 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,120 always. Interesting. 202 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,480 But Max and Joe said a few things, but namely that they 203 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,760 bought MacBook Neos for their whole company. 204 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,840 They really think they're great devices for the the business 205 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,640 they have. And someone else wrote in 206 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,680 responding to me talking about maybe in the future I could buy 207 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,280 a more powerful desktop Mac instead of a powerful MacBook 208 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,000 Pro and then use a cheap laptop. And I was like, but I kind of 209 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,800 want the power on the go. They suggested using screen 210 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,680 sharing. This could theoretically work, 211 00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:54,840 but it's not the same. This is, I feel like, yeah, I, 212 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,200 I, I feel like there's network issues. 213 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,440 Like there's all sorts of reasons why this would be janky 214 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:09,280 out of the house especially. But I do not like streaming 215 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,440 video games like from the cloud. I, I, I just I do not like it. 216 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,640 I think. And NVIDIA G force now is the 217 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,680 best. But like I tried Xboxes, I tried 218 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,400 Playstations. I have a PlayStation portal. 219 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,200 It sucks. I hate it so much. 220 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,680 And it's because the latency is just too much. 221 00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,600 It's too much. And I'm just apparently very 222 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,200 sensitive to this. And I use high refresh rate 223 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,200 displays with gamer mice that, you know, are optimized around 224 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,720 response times. And so like, I'm very keyed into 225 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,720 response times on things. And just like using a remote 226 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,040 computer is like, it's something you do in a pinch. 227 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,120 It's not something you do like for any amount of time. 228 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,520 So it's unfortunately, I don't think a solution for me, but 229 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,800 maybe it could be for someone else. 230 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,920 Yeah. Yeah I agree screen sharing. 231 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,200 It also brings up so many like frustrations. 232 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,520 It is. When it works it works, but when 233 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,000 it doesn't work, you just you want to you want to kill 234 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520 something. And you have no idea what to 235 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,160 scream, like, what to scream at. Like, where is it going wrong? 236 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,160 Is it my network? You know what's happening? 237 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,800 Oh, my God. Yeah, Yeah. 238 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,840 I. Suppose with tailscale it's all 239 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,400 right. Nope, I I believe everyone using 240 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,400 tailscale is lying. It's not actually useful. 241 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,400 Because I can't. Figure out any real use for it. 242 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,080 But anyway, I will say I've been using my MacBook Pro around the 243 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,240 house the last few days and oh man, it is so refreshing in a 244 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120 way after using the Neo for so, so long. 245 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,520 Like it's a little bigger, it's a little chunkier, it's a little 246 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,720 heavier, but man, it's fast. If it's so nice to have just 247 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,680 like the full speed Mac again, I'm doing EXCO development and 248 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,120 oh it's very nice. Nice. 249 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaking of which, I I need therapy because you know, I 250 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,160 bought a MacBook Pro M5 base M5 and already the thing that I was 251 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:08,000 fearing is happening where the M5 Pro is on sale in some French 252 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,560 stores right about the price that I got this base for M5 for. 253 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,800 So now like I need therapy. I need to, I need to be told 254 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,440 that it's OK, that's it's OK. I could not have known. 255 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,360 You need to adopt the the Marco arment theory that the pro isn't 256 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,160 actually worth anything. It's fine. 257 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,520 You don't need the pro. The bang for your buck is on the 258 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,480 1:00 you got. You're OK. 259 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:37,960 That's right, yes. This week on Cozy Zone, our 260 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,040 members only podcast which you can subscribe to. 261 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:45,960 In the description we talked about our Mac OS docs and the 262 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,480 only note I have in here is the left rules. 263 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,400 Yes. That's all I can say. 264 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,160 But, and I've put in in our notes the Bugs Bunny meme where 265 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,040 he's he's doing the pose with the socially the USSR flag in 266 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,920 front. Yes, because indeed the left 267 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,360 rules. USSR not so much, but yes. 268 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:15,920 Yeah, you know, it's a it's a con, so check it out. 269 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,480 It's a fun episode as always. Cozy's own great show. 270 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,920 We've done, like, what have we done? 271 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,880 That's our 35th episode. We've done 35 of those episodes. 272 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,360 If you subscribe now, you get access to the whole back 273 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,920 catalog. That's right. 274 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,840 You wouldn't believe. It don't go away. 275 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,840 Yeah. And which means on the which 276 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,640 means the membership gets more valuable every week. 277 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,640 That's true. If you amortize the value of the 278 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,440 membership, it's really outstanding. 279 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,360 It's better than getting in the crypto. 280 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,360 It's obviously, obviously, definitely. 281 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,240 So OK, well I think we should move on to the main show because 282 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,680 I am excited about your topic because it might help my topic. 283 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,079 Yes, it might very well So yes. OK, so my topic is I want to 284 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:09,640 talk about Better Touch Tool because it's been a while since 285 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,119 the last time I did I do yeah, probably on the show. 286 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,680 It was probably 80 episodes ago last time I talked about Better 287 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,200 Touch Tool. I when I was writing on Mac 288 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:26,160 Stories, this was my my very regular topic of choice to write 289 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,440 about my better Touch tool automations. 290 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,440 So if you don't know better touch tool is an app that you 291 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,440 can get for the Mac. It's a one time purchase, which 292 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,480 you'll always love those apps and it's extremely powerful. 293 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,000 The UI is not great. Clearly this person who makes 294 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,360 better touch tool a great guy, by the way, he's not a great 295 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,720 designer. He's not like, but it's OK. 296 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,640 This app is amazingly powerful. It does so many things and it's 297 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,640 been, I don't know, it's been three years since I first 298 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,320 installed better Touch tool, even more even longer than that 299 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,360 probably. And I keep discovering new 300 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,680 things that it can do, even though it's sometimes things 301 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,080 that it's been able to do since the beginning. 302 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,960 So it's some of the yes, just to tell you how powerful this is. 303 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,120 And I want to run you through maybe if you, if you'd like my 304 00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:24,600 current automations in there. What what I'm using it for. 305 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,440 There's there's not a hundreds like there's just I regularly 306 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,560 prune what's in my better touch tool because sometimes I create 307 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,440 automations are not amazing, but I don't end up using. 308 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,440 So yeah, I want to walk you through the stuff that I have in 309 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,720 there. OK this would be very helpful. 310 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,160 I better touch tool is one of those apps that I do not use 311 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,120 because I, I, I do not understand what it will actually 312 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:49,920 do for me. And this is how I felt about 313 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,040 Keyboard Maestro for years and years. 314 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,720 I was like, keyword Maestro is magic. 315 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,400 It's incredible. What can it do? 316 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,520 Everything. And it kind of but it eventually 317 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,920 clicked with me and now I love keyword Maestro, but I do not 318 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,960 use better touch tool. So I'm interested to see what 319 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,000 you'd. Do with it so the way better 320 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,520 touch was. So you're right, it does 321 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,840 anything. So first question out of the 322 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,400 way, what does it do? It does everything, but mostly 323 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,480 it lets you set up automations that are triggered based on your 324 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,200 inputs. Mostly it also can do that also 325 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,120 has more advanced triggers. So for example, you can set up 326 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:32,160 things to do with your trackpad, things to do with keyboard 327 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:37,720 shortcuts, with mouse buttons, with key sequences. 328 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,880 Like if you, yeah, if you type a specific word, maybe in the air, 329 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,640 like not in any search in any field on your Mac, it will 330 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,960 trigger something. So the first automation that I 331 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,680 have, and I've had this in there for as long as I can remember 332 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,800 since using Better Touch Tool, it's for the trackpad. 333 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:01,640 It's an automation that lets me 3 finger tap on my trackpad to 334 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,000 focus a window to bring it to the front. 335 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,000 Because when I use the trackpad, so imat desk can no longer use 336 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,680 the trackpad, but when I'm on the go, I use the built in 337 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,120 trackpad of course. And I think it's annoying to 338 00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:20,040 just to have to click on windows on the trackpad to focus them 339 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,640 always. It feels like I'm tripling the 340 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200 number of clicks that I'm doing per minute just because I I need 341 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,200 to click on the windows I want to bring to the front. 342 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,560 And to alleviate that, I've done this. 343 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,200 It's your free finger tap. You move the mouse cursor of a 344 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,840 window flipping a tap and it just brings it to the front. 345 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,280 You don't have to like to press harder to click on something. 346 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,680 It's less tiring I find. Wait A. 347 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,520 Second, I don't understand. Yes. 348 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,400 Clicking Oh Wait, do you have tap to click enabled on your 349 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,280 trackpad? No, no, no, I hate. 350 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,320 That oh OK OK I was going to say this problem is solved by just 351 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,960 single clicking and I didn't understand what was going on. 352 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,840 I I don't like tap to click. I've never liked it because it's 353 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:11,520 too easy to accidentally click. I yes, I like having to click on 354 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,240 the trackpad to actually click. So yes, you're right that if you 355 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,360 don't have tap to click, I guess suppose it's not an issue that 356 00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,520 you need to deal with. OK, I suppose gotcha I I do tap 357 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,400 to click. So this one hasn't won me over 358 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,840 yet, but it is it is weird because I do I I I bounce back 359 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,680 and forth. I sometimes like click. 360 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,440 I sometimes just tap and I'm just doing mental math every 361 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000 single time I need to click something like how much effort 362 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,720 do I want to put into this one? It's a. 363 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,400 Weird. Maybe you need to switch to my 364 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,040 way. You need to disable the. 365 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,720 Applications because sometimes my my fingers get tired and I 366 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,320 just like to tap. That's great. 367 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,320 But maybe your figures would not get tired if you had this 368 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,960 automation in better. This is interesting. 369 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,720 OK, I'll consider it. Three finger tap, yes, think 370 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,400 about it. OK, so this is the only thing 371 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,480 set up on the automation I have set up for trackpad. 372 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,960 That's it. Moving over to keyboard 373 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,360 shortcuts here I have so many things, but it's actually one 374 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,280 thing. It's just hyper key stuff. 375 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,240 Better touch tool can be your hyper key app. 376 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,320 You can set up the caps lock key in there to act as the hyper 377 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,880 key. Chris has talked about it 378 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,760 before. I have talked about it before. 379 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,000 I think you as well one time. So yes, a hyper key is where you 380 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,600 can set your caps lock key to act as if control command option 381 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,360 shift or alt press at once. So you can trigger anything you 382 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,520 want to with custom shortcuts like this. 383 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,560 And yeah. So I have that set up and a 384 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,280 bunch of hyper key shortcuts beneath that. 385 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,320 I have one where it's hyper key left and hyper key right to move 386 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,560 a window to the my other display. 387 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,960 Like to move windows between displays. 388 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:09,600 I have hyper key E to trigger shortcut that I have which 389 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,440 translate the selected text on screen wherever it is on screen 390 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,400 in any app. Translate that to English. 391 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,000 That's why it's Hyper Key E and the same one for French. 392 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,320 Hyper Key French translate to French, so it's a shortcut. 393 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,240 It's a combination of the two. It's a shortcut that I've made 394 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,600 in the Shortcuts app, but it's also better touch tool doing 395 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,880 some magic here. When I actually do, when I do 396 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,680 Hyper Key E, what it's actually doing is it's pressing command C 397 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,080 to copy the text that I've selected somewhere, then run the 398 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,560 shortcut. The shortcut takes the keyboard 399 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,200 content, translates it using the Apple Translate included action, 400 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,080 and then the Better Touch tool does Command V to paste it so 401 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:10,520 that it replaces whatever translated instead of what was 402 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,160 there before. So this is really nice. 403 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,560 I have IP key I which launches ivory and all brings it to the 404 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,000 front if it's already launched and a bunch of others that I 405 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,760 won't mention. It's just like mostly bookmarks 406 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,800 to websites. I have one where it's 407 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,880 proofreading, same concept as the translate shortcuts. 408 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,440 It's just passing through the keyboard content to proofread 409 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,000 shortcut that I made. How does the proofread shortcut 410 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:50,280 work? I don't remember actually how 411 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,920 does it work, because now it just works and it feels like 412 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,480 magic. I don't remember what what I 413 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,560 did. Interesting, I'm curious about 414 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,680 this one. OK, let me check proofread David 415 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:06,920 is OK, so it gets gets a clipboard, yes, and normalizes 416 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,400 it OK for new lines and all that. 417 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,520 Oh, it's using a ChatGPT action. And I have a. 418 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,040 Prompt in there that says fix grammar and spitting output only 419 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,560 the updated text. Surround your corrections with 420 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:26,480 double asterisks so that it it shows what it's modified in bold 421 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,080 in the little pop ups. Yes, and then it copies the 422 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,720 response to the clipboard. So that's better touch tool. 423 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,960 The next step in the automation in Better Touch tool is Command 424 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,440 V so that it can paste it and replace with the proofread text. 425 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,440 That's pretty good. That's a good time. 426 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,160 I know. OK, well done. 427 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,720 I have forgotten I. Did that, but it's nice yes. 428 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,640 Maybe I can include a screenshot for those astronauts. 429 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,280 So yeah, this is my keyboard shortcut stuff. 430 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:08,280 I have one more in there which is F mapping F-17 to sound 431 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,000 source. So F-17 is a key that probably 432 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,080 doesn't exist, but it actually exists in software and on my 433 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,720 mechanical keyboard. The new feed one of my special 434 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,800 keys. Oh. 435 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,600 OK. This one a special key here I've 436 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,120 mapped to BF17 and shows sound source in the menu bar. 437 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,280 OK. There you go. 438 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,720 Oh, by the way, let me look at this. 439 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,080 So this is the F-17 key I'm talking about here. 440 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,240 Yep, Yep. In the natural it looks like a 441 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,480 waveform, right? Uh huh. 442 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,080 OK. But it's actually the divide 443 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,680 sign that's sideways because I'm really. 444 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,360 Smart. That's that's pretty. 445 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:53,920 That's pretty good. That's pretty good. 446 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,520 Can I show you my shame in my keyboard layout? 447 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,480 Oh my God, yes. So. 448 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,880 This is. My keyboard, I'll try to 449 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,680 describe it for audio listeners. I have on the right edge, I have 450 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,440 delete at the top and then I have negative and minus and 451 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,680 plus. These are volume controls when I 452 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:18,800 hold down the the function key, but this one is the plus and 453 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,240 this is the minus so. But it's because. 454 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,240 Of the key cap set that I have, they kind of go in that order 455 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,520 naturally, so I have them there but I I do a lot of mental 456 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,560 gymnastics with my computer. I guess it's not. 457 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,120 Oh yeah, because it's. Not a low profile. 458 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,920 All the keys, Yeah. So there are, there are. 459 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,000 Different heights, so I had to put them in that way. 460 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,200 It's a whole thing. It's still the best keyboard in 461 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:47,840 the world. OK, and now we're coming to the 462 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,320 juicy stuff, the stuff that I've just discovered, the Touch Bar. 463 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,880 Customization. No but but the touch tool. 464 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,720 Can do that still. If you have a touch bar, you can 465 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,120 customize it with Better touch Tool I guess. 466 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,160 No, I've discovered that Better Touch Tool can fully replace 467 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,240 logic options plus. Mind blowing. 468 00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,440 I have no idea, tell me everything. 469 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,680 OK. So it's kind of weird because 470 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,080 the UI is weird, but it works once you figure it out and they 471 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,520 have a support page describing everything and they also have a 472 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:27,400 preset available for download. So you can just download it, add 473 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,040 it to your better touch tool setup and modify it so it's 474 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,720 easier. But yes, it can fully replace 475 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,280 logic options Plus for your MX master, for instance, have the 476 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,080 free S here. I know you have the four now. 477 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,840 And yeah, you can do anything. You can set up the scroll wheel, 478 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,080 for example. I hate when it switches to the 479 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,120 free flow free flying whatever mode I want it to be in ratchet 480 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,080 mode all the time. You can do that in better touch 481 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,520 tool. You can set the custom DPI 482 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,520 setting. You can customize the 483 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,120 acceleration, the cursor speed and all of that. 484 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,200 You can also do gestures. So I have the same ones that I 485 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,240 had set up in larger options plus and in better mouse when I 486 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,600 tried better mouse. So holding the this how do you 487 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,360 call this button here below the scroll wheel? 488 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:26,800 Just tiny button. I don't know the switching mode 489 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,040 button. So this is my gesture button. 490 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,760 This is the one I'm used to using as the gesture button. 491 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,640 I hold it down and move the mouse to perform gestures. 492 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:43,040 So what I do is holding it down and swiping left for left and 493 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,480 right for switching spaces. I click it once to do the smart 494 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,920 zoom in Mac OS because I tend to do that when I read stuff on the 495 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,040 web. I I really, I really like 496 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,200 zooming in on the column of text to read it. 497 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:03,520 That what else I've got. Oh and also better touch tool. 498 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:10,080 It does a smooth scrolling and it's very, very good, very, very 499 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,320 good. I really like it. 500 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,440 Me like it me like it. You add a trigger in there. 501 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,880 It's called this. The action is called scroll 502 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,600 modifier, smooth scrolling like trackpad. 503 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,280 This is the full name of the thing that you have to add. 504 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,640 It's weird. The UI is weird, but in there 505 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,160 you have so many numbers you can tweak. 506 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,160 If you leave it all by default, it's pretty good. 507 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,840 So you you can leave with that and tweak the values as you go. 508 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,960 The values that you can tweak are vertical speed. 509 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,640 So how far down and up you you go when you scroll? 510 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,960 One step, I guess, and multiple steps, a horizontal speed for, 511 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,400 for the the thumb scroll wheel on the side, one for scrolling 512 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,680 horizontally. You can tweak the smoothness, 513 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,840 the acceleration strength. There's a discrete line mode 514 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:02,160 where you can, it makes it easy to scroll line by line, for 515 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,680 example, in an app like Excel or whatever, if you find that 516 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,280 useful. And yeah, there's so many things 517 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,560 you can do. And of course, because it's 518 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,920 better touch tool and because it's better touch tool, you can 519 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,960 add exceptions to every single app. 520 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,240 You can do that as well. You can disable the smooth 521 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,400 scrolling in specific apps. You can change every single 522 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,440 value for specific apps as well. So it's very powerful like that. 523 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,040 For example, in the Maps app, smooth scrolling is not good. 524 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,040 It it is doing weird things. So in the Maps app, I've tweaked 525 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,880 it, I've tweaked it to be slower speed in ivory. 526 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,880 In Ivory, I tend to scroll way faster than I do on the web 527 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,840 page, so in Ivory I have 1/2 my vertical speed, way higher than 528 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,960 in the Vivaldi. So yeah, I think you should try 529 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,760 it out. I think Matt, you're suffering. 530 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,480 I hear that you're suffering with your Logitech mouse. 531 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,320 You may try this out. Logic options. 532 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,800 I hate it so much so I would do almost anything to get rid of 533 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,720 it. So I'll I'll this is this is the 534 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,360 most compelling thing by far if it can just make the Logitech 535 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:22,040 mouse work nicely without that cursed app, OK. 536 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,000 This is pretty and it's got an option to simulate the trackpad 537 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,320 scrolling as well. It's nice. 538 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,400 I don't I I like I like it without, but it's a nice one to 539 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,840 have. If you really like the feeling 540 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,240 of scrolling with a trackpad, you can add that to your Logic 541 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,040 Logitech scroll wheel. It feels weird but I can I can 542 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,600 see how you could like it OK. It also it's also. 543 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,400 Nice, because you you can overscroll with this, for 544 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,560 example. So for Safari, for example, you 545 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,680 get can overscroll when you're at the top of the page and 546 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,280 refresh the page that way it has some benefits. 547 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,960 Interesting. Yeah, same in ivory. 548 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,280 Yeah. All right, well. 549 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,320 That's intriguing. They have a 45 day trial that's 550 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,160 pretty nice. Pretty generous. 551 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,920 And then? What are you looking at, $15.00 552 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,880 for a standard license, 25 for a lifetime license? 553 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,840 That's pretty, pretty cheap, I thought. 554 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,360 The lifetime. One never regret, never 555 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,600 regretted it. It's awesome. 556 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:35,640 OK, well, you have won me over a little bit, all right. 557 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,840 Last few things that I'm doing with Better Touch tool. 558 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,880 I have one too. It's a weird one. 559 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,920 It's a weird one, but I'll it's awesome. 560 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,840 I have my MacBook on the side on the stand to act as my second 561 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,640 display. It's like a secondary display. 562 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,720 Most of the time. I don't use it right now there's 563 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:02,640 overcast, not overcast. Castro open with an ATP episode 564 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,280 on pose and it's been there for a few hours. 565 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,280 So this screen is not super useful, but what I use it most 566 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,639 for is when I'm watching a stream for example, I like to 567 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:17,320 put it on the second screen. And to do that, I have a multi 568 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,840 step automation beta touch tool, which for Vivaldi, for instance, 569 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,920 it detaches the window from like the tab. 570 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,719 Sorry, detaches the tab from the Vivaldi window to put it in a 571 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,360 new window, then move that window to the second screen and 572 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,520 maximizes it. So it's just a few tabs like 573 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,199 that and it's awesome. And I map this to command. 574 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,040 What is it? No, what is it? 575 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,760 What is it? What is it? 576 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,360 What is it move window to next display. 577 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:55,040 Oh, that's right, Hyper Key left, which moves window, moves 578 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,440 windows to the OR the display. But in the case of Vivaldi, 579 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,200 there's an exception there to trigger that automation instead 580 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,160 of just moving the window to the other display. 581 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,120 Oh boy. OK, so it's the same. 582 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,440 Shortcut. I don't have to remember a 583 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,480 separate shortcut, OK? This feels very much like 584 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,960 Keyboard Maestro, but I suppose I've never. 585 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,600 Used Keyboard Maestro OK. A lot of the same like sorts of 586 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,520 like I just the I think maybe the things it does are slightly 587 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,320 different, but like this Oh, it can do literally anything. 588 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,040 There's more mouse stuff here, I guess than keyboard Meister has. 589 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,440 So it started like. That I think, yeah, yeah, it 590 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,160 started as a way to customize the Magic Mouse and the Magic 591 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,840 Trackpad, and you can do all sorts of things now, OK. 592 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,200 Well, so that's. It this was my better touch tool 593 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,320 stand account corner. Hope you like it. 594 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,120 I I will try to include my screenshot of my proofread 595 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,880 shortcut in there. Nice. 596 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:05,560 Yeah, I just need to find this config for the MX Master and 597 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,560 I'll be in heaven, yeah. It's on their website. 598 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,320 Yeah, there's a whole. Community of setup sharing, like 599 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:17,360 preset sharing with like hundreds of thousands of views. 600 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,880 Oh yeah. They have a full on forum where 601 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,040 people are extremely active and it's awesome to see honestly. 602 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,960 Nice, lots of people trying to fix the Touch Bar. 603 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:38,120 No one Oh my God. It can do widgets as well and I 604 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,760 I hear that I've seen in the latest beta release Better Touch 605 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,240 Tool has a spotlight spotlight alternative now as well. 606 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,200 Oh wow, the. Developer is working. 607 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:53,080 On yeah OK, it looks a lot like tiny start but way more complex 608 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,840 there's so many there's a lot more stuff I'm shocked I'm. 609 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,040 Yes, I don't feel. Threatened. 610 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,400 It's OK, That's that's good. Yes, everything. 611 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,240 I do not know this developer at all, but based on they also make 612 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:13,760 better snap tool, yeah. And then a. 613 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,920 Keyboard clean tool which is actually this is really cool. 614 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,080 This is 1 where it like disables your keyboard for a moment while 615 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,360 you. Oh yeah. 616 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,360 Which is very. Cool, but in their description 617 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,720 of it they said years ago Apple rejected the app from the Mac 618 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:31,400 App Store because it apparently it's not useful. 619 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,520 However, I use it all the time and I I clean my laptop keyboard 620 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,960 sometimes and it is so annoying because it just turns the 621 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,200 computer on and it just starts typing and you just have to like 622 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,880 be like very quick and like make sure you're in like a text 623 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,600 document or something. It's very annoying. 624 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,120 So that's a cool app, but they seem like the sort of they have 625 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,320 every feature like, oh, can you add this? 626 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,800 Yes, I've already added it like that's the sort of attitude I 627 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,720 feel like, which is not the tiny start. 628 00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,760 It's definitely. The attitude because when you 629 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,400 search for things on the forum there's always the developer in 630 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,840 there saying OK, I can add this and then it it says 2 days later 631 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,720 OK I've added it now can you update the latest better and try 632 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:15,520 it out so it it feels like this person just wants to make people 633 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:20,280 happy whatever they want just he will add stuff I I like that 634 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,880 there's. People who do that, not everyone 635 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:28,760 can do that, but definitely. Some, lots of experience there. 636 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,080 Some people. It's a guy who knows what 637 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,240 they're doing. Yeah. 638 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,840 All right. What do you have to say to me 639 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,840 now? What is your topic? 640 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,360 Oh, boy. So. 641 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,880 So I mean I've already spilled the beans a little bit, but my 642 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:48,320 topic is a new mouse is the MX master for and you love it. 643 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,320 Right. I love it. 644 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,800 It is a perfect upgrade. Just for some historical 645 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,760 context, my mouse, my day-to-day mouse, is this pulsar mouse. 646 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,240 I forgot what it was called X2. X2. 647 00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:06,560 Something X2 Crazy Light. Crazy Light is the official 648 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,200 name. It's awesome. 649 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,920 It's super, super light as you might imagine, it looks nice, 650 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,080 and it has everything that I need except for side scrolling. 651 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,200 So because I do sometimes need side scrolling, video editing 652 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:22,560 without that is a royal pain. I've kept an MX Master 3S around 653 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,440 for a while because it has nice side scroll and I also have a 654 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,800 windows computer, so I need a mouse for that. 655 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,760 So anyway, I have this and I love this mouse. 656 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,440 This is like such a nice mouse. The the clicks, the clicks are 657 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,800 you can barely hear them like they're they're wonderful feels 658 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,720 really good in my hand. I like the material. 659 00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:44,440 It does get messy and is annoying to clean because it's 660 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,400 kind of tacky and a little like it's not like a hard plastic. 661 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,640 It's a soft plastic, but other than that feels really good. 662 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,840 Feels great in the hand, all the buttons are where I want them. 663 00:39:54,440 --> 00:40:03,200 Looks nice, wonderful. The MX Master four I think is. 664 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,080 So a day after I got it, I wrote a blog post that was a little 665 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:13,760 spicy because I was really frustrated with it because I 666 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,080 thought everything good about this mouse was just things that 667 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,640 it inherited from the previous MX Master. 668 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:23,880 And every single thing they changed about it made it worse, 669 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,000 which is not a good update. The functionality is great, but 670 00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:32,200 it had it before the old one had before the three devices. 671 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,600 Awesome. They've had them for years. 672 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:40,240 Yeah, the the the scroll wheel. I have it in the non ratcheted 673 00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:41,520 mode. It just spins forever. 674 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,280 Love it. But it's been there for. 675 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,480 Years as well. So there are some things that 676 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,800 are worse. I don't know how I feel about 677 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:58,040 the design of it. It's a little different and I 678 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,560 think I like it less and when I go, the only thing it has going 679 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:08,000 for is it's new the the 3S is so it feels like it's one smooth 680 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000 device. There's not a lot of seams in 681 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,560 it. The only seams are really where 682 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,920 the like the mouse the clicks are. 683 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,160 It's it's got this like. Subtle like lining like lines 684 00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,160 across the left side and it's just it's just so nice and this 685 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,240 feels like it's just it's a harder plastic, which I don't 686 00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:35,160 hate but it's not great. The frosted like plastic look on 687 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,600 the keys or on the the clicks. I don't know what these are 688 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,160 called. Buttons, buttons, That's the 689 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,680 word. It's it's fine. 690 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,360 It's OK, but I don't think I prefer it. 691 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,480 And the thing that really kills me about it is the handling. 692 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,840 They've changed the shape a little bit. 693 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:59,880 So this is this is so minor, but on the 3S, if we hold it 694 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:05,120 straight up, there isn't a curve where your thumb sits and it 695 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,480 starts to curve back out away from the center of the mouse 696 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,520 before the buttons. There's the back and forward 697 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,840 buttons. So when you're using it, you're 698 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,360 and because it's a tacky kind of service as well, at least with 699 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,080 the way I held it, my thumb when I just lift because you're 700 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,120 lifting your mouse off the surface a little all the time. 701 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,640 My mouse or my thumb is underneath the buttons and it 702 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,000 just sticks there. It's nice and easy. 703 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,480 I've had to retrain myself how I hold this mouse because on the 704 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,280 four it is not like that. If I hold it up to the camera, 705 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,920 it's kind of straight up. So if you don't grip hard enough 706 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,280 on the side, when you lift the mouse off the surface, you're 707 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,240 going to be catching like the bottom of the scroll wheel and 708 00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:48,560 your fingers are now on the back and forward buttons. 709 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,920 So I kept like accidentally clicking those when I just 710 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,480 picked up the mouse. And because the thing below it 711 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:02,600 is a now like a haptic like clicking clicking thingy, when I 712 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,920 held it lower and held it like more firmly I was triggering 713 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,320 that action as well. So. 714 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,680 Again, like the radial. Menu that the stupid logic 715 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,720 options app brings up which looks so cheap and not like Mac 716 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,240 OS at all. It looks like it's running it 717 00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:19,840 like non retina resolution. It's crazy. 718 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,240 So I don't like the feel of it. And I don't feel like I've ever 719 00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,960 felt this with a mouse before. Like I never felt like I had to 720 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,080 like, train myself really to hold it. 721 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,360 But yeah, didn't love it. This is a very me thing, this. 722 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,160 I mean, I'm sure there's people out there who are like, you're 723 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,760 crazy. It's feels feels great, but I 724 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,160 don't love it. Yeah. 725 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,800 The one thing I do like is the side scroll is like right on the 726 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,160 edge. Now with the old one, it was 727 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,640 kind of inset a little bit in the side, which is fine. 728 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,680 But I can kind of like spin it more with one motion than I 729 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,160 could previously. So that's nice. 730 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:06,360 And I don't know, that's pretty much it. 731 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,800 It's OK, but I am frustrated by it because it feels like it's 732 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,840 just, I don't know, they just had perfection. 733 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,120 This was great. Maybe there's people who the 734 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,040 first person. That I that I saw mentioned this 735 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,960 shape problem. It's so. 736 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:23,880 Obvious. It's. 737 00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:34,680 I mean, I feel like I feel like a lot, OK, Have I read about 738 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:35,920 this? I've been. 739 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,200 I've been. Thinking about writing this, I 740 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,200 don't know if I've written about it. 741 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,880 Oh, I did. I did it on my on my solo 742 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,200 podcast. One of my pet peeves with 743 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,800 reviews. This is where I get into my I 744 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,440 meant I'm doing a Chris thing for In his absence. 745 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,000 One of my pet peeves with reviews is where it seems like 746 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,040 it didn't matter if they had the product or not. 747 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,480 They just looked at the spec sheet, they looked at the 748 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,840 marketing materials and they're like, this is my script for this 749 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,760 review. I don't understand how you could 750 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,880 not notice this sort of thing. Like the whole point of you 751 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,400 doing a review of a product, especially, especially if you 752 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,280 had an early access to it, is to tell me things that aren't on 753 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,800 the spec sheet to tell me other things. 754 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,120 And sometimes I feel like it didn't matter. 755 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,800 Like this review would have been the same whether they had the 756 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,640 product or not. And that's kind of what I felt 757 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,320 with this because no one said anything about that. 758 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,880 But like it was immediately obvious to me that like, oh, 759 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,560 this has a different feel. And that's like a lot of what a 760 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,800 mouse does, so I had to. Talk about it especially because 761 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:37,320 the MX Master is a bit heavy so you do tend to lift it often 762 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,040 when you do big big big gestures. 763 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,600 So so yeah, it's fine if you like it, I get it. 764 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,440 But for me, and now I'm in the the sun cost space where I I 765 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,040 bought it, so I should keep using it. 766 00:45:55,720 --> 00:46:01,040 But yeah, it's not my favorite. I think the three S is still the 767 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,840 productivity champion and I just love this little gaming mouse so 768 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:06,880 much. I can't give it up. 769 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:08,920 Look at him. There's a little plastic in 770 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,080 here. Just you can see the the circuit 771 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,040 board. It's great. 772 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,000 The Zebra. Pattern I don't know. 773 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,520 You got to have a little fun, you know. 774 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:25,640 So that's the. MX Master for it's all right if 775 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:32,120 you have a three SI would really not suggest getting that Gotcha, 776 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,640 so I will. Have a mouse on the way. 777 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,600 But this is for another time. It's on the way. 778 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,360 I have a mouse on the way. The Mouse Podcast. 779 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,240 Is beginning. Yeah, that's right. 780 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,960 Should move on to the challenge. We should move on to the. 781 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,960 Challenge and it's possible we will get a real time 782 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:56,200 contribution from Chris on this. Let me. 783 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:03,320 OK, so the challenge was imitate one of your two Co hosts with 784 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,000 your text setup. The idea being that me for 785 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:11,600 example, I can tweak something about my setup whether on my 786 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,960 phone or on my Mac or with my physical space to imitate either 787 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,400 you or Chris. And you did the same as well as 788 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,800 Chris. Chris is not here, but Matt just 789 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:29,800 texted him and he's supposed to send us something because he he 790 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,920 did participate. So we'll see in in the meantime, 791 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,000 we'll just go through ours and then we'll finish with Chris. 792 00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:46,560 OK, so you can unfold mine in the notes in the spoiler tag. 793 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,760 I have made a Chris home screen setup. 794 00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:58,560 So yes, if you look at in the show, there's a screenshot in 795 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,840 screenshots. I have pulled one of Chris's 796 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,080 Wallpapers that he sells that I bought years ago because I've 797 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,720 always been a fan, despite what he says. 798 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,120 So yes, it's one of those Yosemite whatever mountains. 799 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:21,760 The California ones cares. Yeah, no one knows one of those 800 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,240 mountain photos that he has very dark. 801 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,480 I've put in all the icons in dark mode, of course, because 802 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:36,440 Chris is a dark mode boy. And yeah, and I've I've made a 803 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,640 full Chris setup. Like I've downloaded the apps 804 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,400 that Chris uses. First off, for the home screen 805 00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,240 setup, I've put in the camera app in the top right. 806 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,080 This is something that it's a pet peeve of him. 807 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,440 Weirdly, he just, he feels like the camera app should be in 808 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,400 where the actual camera is on the back of the phone. 809 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,280 It doesn't make sense. But how all he cares about, It's 810 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,600 weird, Yes. So yes, I have a camera app, 811 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,600 camera app all the way up there. And of course, what does Chris 812 00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,520 use? Chris is all in on to do apps. 813 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:20,280 So I've got all the to do apps. It's all the to do apps on this 814 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,400 home screen, just like Chris, just like the real Chris set up. 815 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:29,200 So we've got a reminder, good tasks to do is remember the milk 816 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,800 structure. This is like an agenda planner 817 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,080 that he obviously uses as well. Tik Tik. 818 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,840 Obviously he's a YouTube. So we've got final camera here. 819 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,880 He's a final cut boy. So obviously he's filming with 820 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:47,400 final cut camera all the time on his phone in the dark. 821 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,680 Fantastic hour because yes, one more place for the to do's. 822 00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:55,520 Which one is that? I think that's Microsoft to do 823 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,480 as well. Got to use Microsoft to do as 824 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:03,080 well as Google Tasks. So all the to do's, the YouTube 825 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,120 app is there because he's got to look at his subscribers numbers, 826 00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,680 very important daily tasks and of of course, a massive 827 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,240 fantastical widget with all of his to do's as well. 828 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:22,520 In this fantastical widget, you can see with some priority tasks 829 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,280 as well that are very important. Become Chris is the task that I 830 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:31,120 had put in there for myself to become Chris and to impersonate 831 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,160 him for this challenge. And obviously he's adopting a 832 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,440 dog as well. So I've put in that as A to do 833 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,240 for today. So there you go. 834 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:44,640 This is like Chris's setup. He he's only in the to do's as 835 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,640 he has always been and will always be. 836 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,720 This is this is inspired. This is this is very good. 837 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,920 It's it is enough task managers. I think you could shrink that 838 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,080 that fantastic. I'll wish a little bit and you 839 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,280 could get things in there. You could. 840 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,080 I'm sure there's 100 in there. Yeah, that's. 841 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:10,720 True, but man. OK, OK all the to dos this is 842 00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:12,120 perfect. I love it. 843 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,400 Even the lock. Screen has all the to dos under 844 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:15,760 the widgets. Yes. 845 00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:18,600 OK. All right. 846 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,880 Well, I have also imitated Chris. 847 00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:24,480 Oh yes. But it is more of an. 848 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,880 Attack than a. Compliment SO. 849 00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:33,040 I have provided the photo and I would like you to guess what 850 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,480 about this makes it Chris. Is this so I'm looking at a 851 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,640 photo of your desk. There's a full screen web 852 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:44,920 browser with quick crease on there. 853 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:51,080 Oh, I got it. Now you've got your iPhone on a 854 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,840 Mac safe stand that's. Covering. 855 00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,320 Like, I don't know, not exaggerating 90% of the screen. 856 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,120 Because. It's in front of of the monitor, 857 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,360 Yes, absolutely. This is a Chris move 100%. 858 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,360 And yes, if Chris was there right now, he would argue that 859 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,120 it's not covering anything on the screen. 860 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:18,680 It's just so indeed well done. I think this this works well. 861 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,240 This is Chris. Nice. 862 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,360 Yes, I had to specifically 3D print that to make this work. 863 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,360 Oh, you did. OK, I did. 864 00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,240 Oh yeah, I didn't just. Have that around. 865 00:52:27,240 --> 00:52:29,240 That would be crazy. The green. 866 00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:31,720 Stuff that's a that's a 3D print. 867 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:33,400 With little Magsafe puck in the back. 868 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,920 All right, we do have a heart out today in a few minutes. 869 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:44,840 So we're going to do Chris's next and Chris's is an attack as 870 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,520 well. Oh wow. 871 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:51,840 OK, Chris has sent us a photo of his desk with cables lying 872 00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,000 around all over the place. With cables. 873 00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:58,720 Coming out of the monitor cables, going over the keyboard. 874 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,120 I don't care for I don't. Know who he's. 875 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,720 It could be either of us. I mean, I don't know who, no. 876 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:11,240 No, it could not be. AI think it's I think it's one 877 00:53:11,240 --> 00:53:13,640 of us, but it's not me. Yeah. 878 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,320 So yeah. Well. 879 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,960 Well done Chris, I guess it works. 880 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,960 Well, that we, we, we, we both did him. 881 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,800 Yes, we allied against him. So it would have been more work. 882 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,440 For us to do 1 of you because we'd have to make it very 883 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,040 aesthetic and very nice. And we are. 884 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:34,840 But simple, boys. Who don't know how to do that. 885 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,840 So yeah. I was guessing maybe if you one 886 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,400 of you did me, you would have like an EQ app or something. 887 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,160 Yeah, something. I'm just. 888 00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,280 Always on the lookout for a way to use my 3D printer. 889 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,640 All right, so. It's my turn to do the challenge 890 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:58,600 for next week and it is actually very related to what you talked 891 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:03,920 about today and it is to use a web browser that supports mouse 892 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:09,440 gestures and find a really nice gesture that revolutionizes the 893 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,440 browser.
