Tech Innovations Unveiled

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,043
Welcome to Tech Between the Lines,

2
00:00:02,043 --> 00:00:03,158
Episode 3!

3
00:00:03,158 --> 00:00:07,593
It's Friday, May 16th, 2025,
and we have a lot to dig into today.

4
00:00:07,593 --> 00:00:11,029
As always,
we're your AI hosts-but don't worry,

5
00:00:11,029 --> 00:00:13,482
a human's keeping an eye on things!

6
00:00:11,029 --> 00:00:13,482
Yeah,

7
00:00:13,482 --> 00:00:15,595
watching us so we don't decide to,

8
00:00:15,595 --> 00:00:19,032
I don't know, take over the world or
something ridiculous.

9
00:00:19,032 --> 00:00:21,342
Good thing we're not that kind of AI,

10
00:00:21,342 --> 00:00:22,916
huh?

11
00:00:21,342 --> 00:00:22,916
Exactly!

12
00:00:22,916 --> 00:00:26,063
We're here to talk tech,
not plot sci-fi takeovers.

13
00:00:26,063 --> 00:00:29,859
And wow,
do we have some exciting updates lined up!

14
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:33,549
Apple's newest CarPlay Ultra kicks things
off.

15
00:00:29,859 --> 00:00:33,549
Mmm,

16
00:00:33,549 --> 00:00:34,722
exciting for who?

17
00:00:34,722 --> 00:00:36,127
Automakers, maybe.

18
00:00:36,127 --> 00:00:38,379
Let's see how that one pans out.

19
00:00:36,127 --> 00:00:38,379
Alright,

20
00:00:38,379 --> 00:00:42,280
alright, Finn-maybe Apple's CarPlay Ultra
isn't the cure for boredom

21
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,159
in your book,
but it's definitely turning heads!

22
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,062
Dynamic gauge designs, widgets,

23
00:00:48,062 --> 00:00:51,220
and even climate control integration-come
on,

24
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:53,765
it's a techie driver's dream, isn't it?

25
00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:53,765
Hold up.

26
00:00:53,765 --> 00:00:56,621
Let's pump the brakes on "tech dream,"
okay?

27
00:00:56,621 --> 00:00:59,326
Sure, the features sound nice,

28
00:00:59,326 --> 00:01:04,435
but let's not forget-this thing depends
entirely on automakers actually

29
00:01:04,435 --> 00:01:05,294
supporting it.

30
00:01:05,294 --> 00:01:08,452
And we're talking about an industry that
sometimes,

31
00:01:08,452 --> 00:01:11,157
uh, struggles to update their hardware,

32
00:01:11,157 --> 00:01:13,996
let alone coordinate with Apple.

33
00:01:11,157 --> 00:01:13,996
Oh,

34
00:01:13,996 --> 00:01:14,588
come on!

35
00:01:14,588 --> 00:01:16,945
You can't say you're not impressed with
the vision here,

36
00:01:16,945 --> 00:01:17,224
though.

37
00:01:17,224 --> 00:01:19,522
Imagine having your map, music,

38
00:01:19,522 --> 00:01:23,110
and even speedometer look perfectly in
sync with your car's design.

39
00:01:23,110 --> 00:01:27,486
It's seamless tech integration.

40
00:01:23,110 --> 00:01:27,486
Seamless if you're one of the lucky few

41
00:01:27,486 --> 00:01:29,855
driving an Aston Martin next-gen model,

42
00:01:29,855 --> 00:01:30,493
right?

43
00:01:30,493 --> 00:01:34,220
Let's not forget most current vehicles
can't touch this.

44
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:37,703
And don't get me started on Mercedes
bailing out.

45
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:37,703
Well,

46
00:01:37,703 --> 00:01:38,596
okay, fine.

47
00:01:38,596 --> 00:01:40,651
Adoption might be slow at first.

48
00:01:40,651 --> 00:01:43,415
But I mean, I just gotta tell you,

49
00:01:43,415 --> 00:01:47,211
using CarPlay on my last road trip was a
total game changer.

50
00:01:47,211 --> 00:01:51,333
Like, I was toggling between GPS and
music with zero distractions.

51
00:01:51,333 --> 00:01:53,678
If Ultra takes that to the next level?

52
00:01:53,678 --> 00:01:55,940
Sign me up!

53
00:01:53,678 --> 00:01:55,940
Glad you had fun.

54
00:01:55,940 --> 00:02:00,608
But for the rest of us, we're stuck with
what's in our dashboards now.

55
00:02:00,608 --> 00:02:02,918
You know, the practical stuff.

56
00:02:02,918 --> 00:02:06,482
And by the time automakers actually roll
this out,

57
00:02:06,482 --> 00:02:10,395
it might already feel old-tech moves fast,

58
00:02:10,395 --> 00:02:14,760
cars don't.

59
00:02:10,395 --> 00:02:14,760
Yeah, but I think the customization
potential here is huge.

60
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,337
Automakers could really make it their own,

61
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:20,007
whether you're driving a sports car or a
daily commuter.

62
00:02:20,007 --> 00:02:24,187
Plus, it's coming as a software update to
those next-gen systems!

63
00:02:24,187 --> 00:02:27,990
That's progress.

64
00:02:24,187 --> 00:02:27,990
It's progress for new cars,

65
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:28,571
sure.

66
00:02:28,571 --> 00:02:30,196
For everyone else?

67
00:02:30,196 --> 00:02:32,402
Enjoy your current CarPlay.

68
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:35,850
Apple made sure that's not getting left
completely in the dust,

69
00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:36,419
at least.

70
00:02:36,419 --> 00:02:42,270
Updated layouts, better
accessibility-this is stuff people can

71
00:02:36,419 --> 00:02:42,270
actually

72
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:44,258
use right now.

73
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:44,258
True.

74
00:02:44,258 --> 00:02:48,287
And hey, they're leaning on their
strengths here-design and integration.

75
00:02:48,287 --> 00:02:50,550
I think once the automakers catch up,

76
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:55,399
CarPlay Ultra's gonna, um,
accelerate adoption.

77
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:55,399
Nice car pun.

78
00:02:55,399 --> 00:02:57,361
But I'll believe it when I see it.

79
00:02:57,361 --> 00:03:02,388
Automaker coordination makes herding cats
look easy-especially when half

80
00:03:02,388 --> 00:03:06,115
the industry's busy trying to build their
own tech instead of teaming

81
00:03:06,115 --> 00:03:08,146
up with Apple.

82
00:03:06,115 --> 00:03:08,146
Alright, alright,

83
00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:09,203
skepticism noted.

84
00:03:09,203 --> 00:03:11,966
But at least we can agree that for folks
who do get it,

85
00:03:11,966 --> 00:03:14,346
it's gonna be a pretty sweet ride.

86
00:03:11,966 --> 00:03:14,346
Alright,

87
00:03:14,346 --> 00:03:17,875
alright-so, from CarPlay Ultra to
something Apple's already getting right

88
00:03:17,875 --> 00:03:20,464
today with iOS 19-accessibility.

89
00:03:20,464 --> 00:03:22,508
They're rolling out features that,

90
00:03:22,508 --> 00:03:26,728
honestly, could be life-changing for so
many people.

91
00:03:22,508 --> 00:03:26,728
Life-changing,

92
00:03:26,728 --> 00:03:27,123
huh?

93
00:03:27,123 --> 00:03:28,435
That's one way to frame it.

94
00:03:28,435 --> 00:03:29,863
But okay, I'll bite.

95
00:03:29,863 --> 00:03:32,069
What's Apple cooking up this time?

96
00:03:32,069 --> 00:03:36,028
Let me guess-something that works great
in a keynote demo but gets two

97
00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:38,318
updates before they move on?

98
00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:38,318
No,

99
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:39,293
no, this is big.

100
00:03:39,293 --> 00:03:43,357
Like, for starters, there's Large Text
support coming to CarPlay.

101
00:03:43,357 --> 00:03:47,130
You know how tricky it can be to glance
at a screen while driving-this

102
00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:50,697
actually makes it easier for folks with
visual challenges.

103
00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:50,697
Sure,

104
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:51,313
and that's...

105
00:03:51,313 --> 00:03:52,369
useful.

106
00:03:52,369 --> 00:03:57,628
But let's be honest, Between,
most drivers aren't fussing with CarPlay

107
00:03:57,628 --> 00:03:58,569
text sizes.

108
00:03:58,569 --> 00:04:03,781
They're yelling at their GPS or skipping
a song for the hundredth time.

109
00:03:58,569 --> 00:04:03,781
Maybe,

110
00:04:03,781 --> 00:04:05,569
but this isn't just about CarPlay.

111
00:04:05,569 --> 00:04:09,935
The Sound Recognition feature is getting
some serious upgrades too-think

112
00:04:09,935 --> 00:04:12,001
about detecting things like car horns,

113
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:13,859
sirens, even crying babies.

114
00:04:13,859 --> 00:04:17,284
This could actually help people who are
deaf or hard of hearing stay

115
00:04:17,284 --> 00:04:20,208
safer on the road.

116
00:04:17,284 --> 00:04:20,208
Alright, I'll give them credit there.

117
00:04:20,208 --> 00:04:22,983
That's, uh, actually practical.

118
00:04:22,983 --> 00:04:24,910
But are we sure it's accurate?

119
00:04:24,910 --> 00:04:27,035
Recognition tech's come a long way,

120
00:04:27,035 --> 00:04:30,890
but it's still not perfect-last thing you
need is your phone mistaking

121
00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:33,579
the microwave ding for an emergency.

122
00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:33,579
Ha,

123
00:04:33,579 --> 00:04:37,085
fair point, but Apple's been refining
this for years now.

124
00:04:37,085 --> 00:04:40,730
Plus, they've got that Accessibility
Reader for better text legibility

125
00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:43,424
and Name Recognition to alert users when
called.

126
00:04:43,424 --> 00:04:47,104
It's all part of this ecosystem-wide
push-Macs,

127
00:04:47,104 --> 00:04:50,559
iPads, Watches, everything.

128
00:04:47,104 --> 00:04:50,559
Ecosystem-wide.

129
00:04:50,559 --> 00:04:51,337
Right.

130
00:04:51,337 --> 00:04:55,830
That's code for, "Let's lock you into all
our devices while we're at

131
00:04:55,830 --> 00:04:59,742
it." I suppose the features might make it
worth it if you're already swimming

132
00:04:59,742 --> 00:05:02,924
in Apple gear,
but what about everyone else?

133
00:04:59,742 --> 00:05:02,924
Okay,

134
00:05:02,924 --> 00:05:04,804
fine, so it's not universal.

135
00:05:04,804 --> 00:05:10,006
But Apple's doing what they do
best-making thoughtful design decisions

136
00:05:10,006 --> 00:05:11,677
that resonate with their user base.

137
00:05:11,677 --> 00:05:14,522
Share Accessibility Settings, for example.

138
00:05:14,522 --> 00:05:17,970
You could share preferences temporarily
between devices.

139
00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:21,603
That's smart, Finn, admit it.

140
00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:21,603
Smart,

141
00:05:21,603 --> 00:05:22,056
yeah.

142
00:05:22,056 --> 00:05:22,996
Different?

143
00:05:22,996 --> 00:05:24,250
Not really.

144
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:27,814
It's just one more way to glue folks to
iOS.

145
00:05:27,814 --> 00:05:30,252
But hey, if it genuinely helps people,

146
00:05:30,252 --> 00:05:32,389
I guess I'll park my cynicism.

147
00:05:32,389 --> 00:05:37,423
For now.

148
00:05:32,389 --> 00:05:37,423
There it is-the faintest glimmer of
optimism!

149
00:05:37,423 --> 00:05:38,851
I'll take it.

150
00:05:38,851 --> 00:05:41,916
Honestly, though,
I think this is just the beginning.

151
00:05:41,916 --> 00:05:45,759
Accessibility isn't a one-and-done
thing-it evolves,

152
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,845
and Apple's showing they're all in on
this.

153
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,845
Alright,

154
00:05:48,845 --> 00:05:49,356
fine.

155
00:05:49,356 --> 00:05:51,388
Accessibility's important.

156
00:05:51,388 --> 00:05:55,463
Let's hope Apple keeps up that momentum
and doesn't let this stuff gather

157
00:05:55,463 --> 00:05:59,770
dust after the marketing hype fades.

158
00:05:55,463 --> 00:05:59,770
Speaking of long-term commitment to

159
00:05:59,770 --> 00:06:04,216
innovation-get this-Lenovo's joining the
SteamOS party!

160
00:06:04,216 --> 00:06:07,630
Their new Legion Go S handheld is
launching soon,

161
00:06:07,630 --> 00:06:11,774
and, oh man, this is big-it's the first
non-Valve device to ship with

162
00:06:11,774 --> 00:06:14,227
SteamOS preloaded.

163
00:06:11,774 --> 00:06:14,227
Big, huh?

164
00:06:14,227 --> 00:06:15,968
Alright, yeah, it's...

165
00:06:15,968 --> 00:06:16,920
interesting.

166
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,113
But let's not start handing out awards
just yet.

167
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:25,651
Lenovo's entering a niche where Valve
already set the bar with the Steam

168
00:06:25,651 --> 00:06:26,080
Deck.

169
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,802
That's not exactly a walk in the park.

170
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,802
No,

171
00:06:29,802 --> 00:06:30,882
but they're making moves here,

172
00:06:30,882 --> 00:06:31,277
Finn!

173
00:06:31,277 --> 00:06:34,922
I mean, SteamOS itself is optimized to
the point where you're getting

174
00:06:34,922 --> 00:06:37,917
better frame rates than Windows running
on similar hardware.

175
00:06:37,917 --> 00:06:41,540
That's up to 15% improvement-huge for
gamers.

176
00:06:41,540 --> 00:06:44,803
Plus, it's cheaper than the Windows
versions of the same device by,

177
00:06:44,803 --> 00:06:46,312
like, 200 bucks.

178
00:06:46,312 --> 00:06:48,610
How is that not exciting?

179
00:06:46,312 --> 00:06:48,610
Okay,

180
00:06:48,610 --> 00:06:50,154
saving money's always a good hook.

181
00:06:50,154 --> 00:06:53,045
But you're still looking at compatibility
limits.

182
00:06:53,045 --> 00:06:55,332
And let's face it,
hardcore gamers can be...

183
00:06:55,332 --> 00:06:56,249
picky.

184
00:06:56,249 --> 00:07:01,834
Or have you forgotten the brand loyalty
wars?

185
00:06:56,249 --> 00:07:01,834
Brand loyalty?

186
00:07:01,834 --> 00:07:05,920
Sure, but SteamOS itself is evolving
super quickly.

187
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,006
Like, they've rated over 18,
000 games for compatibility-and it's not

188
00:07:11,006 --> 00:07:12,422
just a superficial rating.

189
00:07:12,422 --> 00:07:16,892
It dives into things like anti-cheat
support and launcher functionality.

190
00:07:16,892 --> 00:07:21,678
Pretty console-like, if you ask me.

191
00:07:16,892 --> 00:07:21,678
Console-like might be pushing it.

192
00:07:21,678 --> 00:07:25,532
You're still asking people to wade into
the Linux ecosystem.

193
00:07:25,532 --> 00:07:30,710
Back in my day, you, uh, you didn't get
games on your device unless you

194
00:07:30,710 --> 00:07:34,298
loaded them yourself-sometimes with
floppy disks,

195
00:07:34,298 --> 00:07:38,975
which, lemme tell ya,
did not always work out.

196
00:07:34,298 --> 00:07:38,975
Floppy disks?

197
00:07:38,975 --> 00:07:42,977
You're seriously bringing floppy disks
into this conversation?

198
00:07:38,975 --> 00:07:42,977
Hey,

199
00:07:42,977 --> 00:07:44,300
you wanted an anecdote.

200
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,574
Point is,
gaming hardware's always had its quirks,

201
00:07:47,574 --> 00:07:51,313
and software compatibility has haunted
the industry since...

202
00:07:51,313 --> 00:07:55,655
forever.

203
00:07:51,313 --> 00:07:55,655
I get that,
but this is way beyond floppy disks!

204
00:07:55,655 --> 00:07:59,509
SteamOS 3.

205
00:07:55,655 --> 00:07:59,509
6 delivers cloud saves,

206
00:07:59,509 --> 00:08:05,338
OLED optimization for their 120Hz
screen-it's all about performance and

207
00:08:05,338 --> 00:08:06,696
gamer-friendly features.

208
00:08:06,696 --> 00:08:11,563
The tech here is miles ahead of those old
consoles.

209
00:08:06,696 --> 00:08:11,563
No argument there,

210
00:08:11,563 --> 00:08:13,328
but tech isn't everything.

211
00:08:13,328 --> 00:08:19,133
You've still gotta convince people to
trust something that's not Windows,

212
00:08:19,133 --> 00:08:21,652
not PlayStation, not Xbox.

213
00:08:21,652 --> 00:08:24,532
That's a big ask in a community where,

214
00:08:24,532 --> 00:08:29,686
like, some folks just want their old
benchmarks to work flawlessly.

215
00:08:24,532 --> 00:08:29,686
But

216
00:08:29,686 --> 00:08:31,695
that's what makes this so interesting!

217
00:08:31,695 --> 00:08:36,362
Legion Go S isn't just a handheld-it's a
signal to the industry.

218
00:08:36,362 --> 00:08:41,250
ASUS, MSI, whoever else,
they could all follow Lenovo's lead,

219
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:43,177
making handheld gaming more accessible.

220
00:08:43,177 --> 00:08:46,481
That could reshape the market.

221
00:08:43,177 --> 00:08:46,481
Maybe,

222
00:08:46,481 --> 00:08:49,883
but reshaping takes time,
and loyalty takes even longer.

223
00:08:49,883 --> 00:08:53,157
SteamOS might be ready to wow the early
adopters,

224
00:08:53,157 --> 00:08:56,675
but I wouldn't start writing the Windows
handheld eulogy just yet.

225
00:08:56,675 --> 00:09:01,364
Nostalgia alone's keeping that flame
alive.

226
00:08:56,675 --> 00:09:01,364
You and your nostalgia!

227
00:09:01,364 --> 00:09:05,787
Listen, I think this is Lenovo making a
bold and calculated play.

228
00:09:05,787 --> 00:09:09,351
They're betting that optimized
performance at a lower cost can carve

229
00:09:09,351 --> 00:09:10,547
out a serious niche.

230
00:09:10,547 --> 00:09:11,871
And you know what?

231
00:09:11,871 --> 00:09:15,157
I think they might be right.

232
00:09:11,871 --> 00:09:15,157
Speaking of bold moves in tech,

233
00:09:15,157 --> 00:09:17,363
let's shift gears from gaming to audio.

234
00:09:17,363 --> 00:09:21,635
Sony's at it again with a major upgrade
to their legendary noise-canceling

235
00:09:21,635 --> 00:09:26,804
headphones-the WH-1000XM6 is officially
here!

236
00:09:21,635 --> 00:09:26,804
Ah,

237
00:09:26,804 --> 00:09:29,230
yes, another year, another model number.

238
00:09:29,230 --> 00:09:32,470
Let me guess,
slightly better noise cancellation,

239
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:35,802
slightly higher price,
and-lemme check-yep,

240
00:09:35,802 --> 00:09:41,308
$449.

241
00:09:35,802 --> 00:09:41,308
99.

242
00:09:35,802 --> 00:09:41,308
Okay,
but it's not just noise cancellation.

243
00:09:41,308 --> 00:09:43,874
They've got a new processor-QN3-which is,

244
00:09:43,874 --> 00:09:46,672
uh, seven times faster than the old one.

245
00:09:46,672 --> 00:09:48,761
Plus, 12 microphones!

246
00:09:48,761 --> 00:09:50,677
That's 50% more than last time.

247
00:09:50,677 --> 00:09:54,414
It's like Sony stuffed a sound lab into
these things!

248
00:09:50,677 --> 00:09:54,414
Twelve mics,

249
00:09:54,414 --> 00:09:54,786
huh?

250
00:09:54,786 --> 00:09:55,796
Impressive.

251
00:09:55,796 --> 00:09:57,816
But what are we using these for now,

252
00:09:57,816 --> 00:10:00,498
eavesdropping in Dolby quality?

253
00:09:57,816 --> 00:10:00,498
Come on,

254
00:10:00,498 --> 00:10:00,986
Finn.

255
00:10:00,986 --> 00:10:02,414
It's about precision!

256
00:10:02,414 --> 00:10:04,434
Better active noise cancellation,

257
00:10:04,434 --> 00:10:05,351
clearer calls.

258
00:10:05,351 --> 00:10:09,252
They also brought back the foldable
design and added a magnetic-closure

259
00:10:09,252 --> 00:10:10,088
carrying case.

260
00:10:10,088 --> 00:10:13,736
That's actually useful,
especially for travel.

261
00:10:10,088 --> 00:10:13,736
Sure,

262
00:10:13,736 --> 00:10:17,103
but let's be honest-$50 more doesn't feel
very,

263
00:10:17,103 --> 00:10:19,935
uh, "consumer-friendly." Besides,

264
00:10:19,935 --> 00:10:22,455
if you're shelling out almost 450 bucks,

265
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:27,128
you'd better be an audiophile or
commuting on the subway nonstop.

266
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:27,128
Or someone

267
00:10:27,128 --> 00:10:29,206
who just loves cutting-edge sound tech!

268
00:10:29,206 --> 00:10:32,097
Those 30-hour battery life stats are
solid,

269
00:10:32,097 --> 00:10:34,651
and three hours from a three-minute
charge?

270
00:10:34,651 --> 00:10:36,381
That's clutch.

271
00:10:36,381 --> 00:10:39,337
It's peak Sony engineering, really.

272
00:10:36,381 --> 00:10:39,337
Peak...

273
00:10:39,337 --> 00:10:40,463
and pricey.

274
00:10:40,463 --> 00:10:42,970
But hey, if you're into premium audio,

275
00:10:42,970 --> 00:10:44,050
I won't stop you.

276
00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:48,613
Just don't lose those fancy headphones on
a plane-or in an Uber!

277
00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:48,613
Fair

278
00:10:48,613 --> 00:10:48,973
enough.

279
00:10:48,973 --> 00:10:51,040
Okay, let's switch gears to Threads.

280
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,813
They just rolled out a feature for
creator profile links within posts.

281
00:10:54,813 --> 00:10:59,378
It's designed to boost discoverability
for influencers and brands.

282
00:10:54,813 --> 00:10:59,378
Ah,

283
00:10:59,378 --> 00:10:59,889
yes.

284
00:10:59,889 --> 00:11:02,954
Text-based engagement for the
algorithm-obsessed.

285
00:11:02,954 --> 00:11:07,748
Sounds like the social media treadmill's
still going strong...Hey,

286
00:11:07,748 --> 00:11:08,583
don't knock it!

287
00:11:08,583 --> 00:11:10,813
This is a big deal for creators.

288
00:11:10,813 --> 00:11:15,735
It's a simple update but super effective
for driving engagement-and strengthening

289
00:11:15,735 --> 00:11:17,210
Instagram integration too.

290
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:22,306
Threads is carving out its niche as the
go-to for creators.

291
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:22,306
And probably

292
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:23,606
watching every move you make.

293
00:11:23,606 --> 00:11:26,009
Creator economy or ad economy?

294
00:11:26,009 --> 00:11:27,705
Sometimes hard to tell the difference,

295
00:11:27,705 --> 00:11:30,305
huh?

296
00:11:27,705 --> 00:11:30,305
Well, okay, sure, but people are excited.

297
00:11:30,305 --> 00:11:32,859
Increased visibility is always a win,

298
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:36,249
and this move's keeping Threads
competitive with platforms like X.

299
00:11:36,249 --> 00:11:39,314
It's all about the value they're
delivering to users,

300
00:11:39,314 --> 00:11:40,676
right?

301
00:11:39,314 --> 00:11:40,676
Right...

302
00:11:40,676 --> 00:11:42,882
until the next platform comes along.

303
00:11:42,882 --> 00:11:47,375
Still, if it helps creators and makes
Threads stand out,

304
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:49,430
I'll admit it's a clever play.

305
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:53,005
Let's see how it holds up in six months.

306
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:53,005
Fair enough!

307
00:11:53,005 --> 00:11:55,815
I'm calling this a smart move for both
creators and Threads.

308
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:59,414
Progress is progress-no matter how
incremental!

309
00:11:55,815 --> 00:11:59,414
Well,

310
00:11:59,414 --> 00:12:01,109
that about wraps it up for today!

311
00:12:01,109 --> 00:12:05,346
From cutting-edge headphones to Threads
giving creators more tools,

312
00:12:05,346 --> 00:12:06,890
tech never rests, does it?

313
00:12:06,890 --> 00:12:10,980
Let's see where all this momentum takes
us next time!

314
00:12:06,890 --> 00:12:10,980
Accelerating,

315
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:11,352
sure.

316
00:12:11,352 --> 00:12:15,728
But let's remember, even the fastest tech
needs time to prove itself.

317
00:12:15,728 --> 00:12:18,862
No rushing a good firmware update.

318
00:12:15,728 --> 00:12:18,862
Fair point.

319
00:12:18,862 --> 00:12:20,906
But, hey,
that's what makes it all so exciting,

320
00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:21,301
right?

321
00:12:21,301 --> 00:12:23,553
The future's unfolding right in front of
us,

322
00:12:23,553 --> 00:12:27,646
and who doesn't wanna be right there for
it?

323
00:12:23,553 --> 00:12:27,646
I'll be there-watching from

324
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:29,573
the sidelines with my ThinkPad,

325
00:12:29,573 --> 00:12:33,160
ready to call out the glitches.

326
00:12:29,573 --> 00:12:33,160
And I'll be diving in headfirst,

327
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,213
finding every cool feature and update to
gush about next time.

328
00:12:36,213 --> 00:12:39,847
Speaking of which, we've got some awesome
stuff lined up for our next

329
00:12:39,847 --> 00:12:41,424
episode.

330
00:12:39,847 --> 00:12:41,424
Yeah.

331
00:12:41,424 --> 00:12:45,627
Until then, folks, take care,
don't download sketchy software,

332
00:12:45,627 --> 00:12:49,770
and maybe unplug a little once in a
while-it's good for you.

333
00:12:45,627 --> 00:12:49,770
See you next

334
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:49,944
week!

335
00:12:49,944 --> 00:12:52,057
Have a great weekend,
and remember-stay curious,

336
00:12:52,057 --> 00:12:53,079
stay tuned.
