@siracusa @caseyliss Im surprised both of you didn’t seem to realize that it’s an optional mode that can be enabled if you so desire. The Ionic 5 N drives like a normal EV unless you want it to behave like an ICE. Seems like a fun option if you’re in the mood for it. https://youtu.be/JVwfEOh0KBI?si=OU9nDOiCrol7MiNe

@ryanchristensen I know it’s optional.

587: No Dots Are Going to Help Me
https://atp.fm/587

Apple's accessibility announcements, returning to an old scanner friend, and leaping into the iPad discourse.

@egilDOTnet I talk about that later in the episode.

@Hdsheena None that I’m aware of.

@siracusa How close is the new iPad Pro w/ M4, hardware-wise, to being competitive with modern console systems? Is it in the ballpark?

siracusa,
@siracusa@mastodon.social avatar

@robnee I doubt it, but I’d have to look closer at the specs to make a more educated guess.

I desperately need @siracusa to validate my sanity and weigh in on the travesty that is the HDR video rendering of Apple's native TV app when compared to the same HDR / Dolby Vision content viewed on the same device in other popular streaming apps (Disney+, Max, etc.)

A little help, @atpfm??

For reference:

@joshuamarino I have not noticed this, but comparisons across apps without ensuring that the media files themselves are identical (they almost certainly aren’t) is not particularly useful.

siracusa,
@siracusa@mastodon.social avatar

@joshuamarino PiP is asking the system to display two possibly very different media files simultaneously, so there may be some weirdness there. A TV calibrator with equipment and access to the media files would be needed to make a determination.

@siracusa What are your thoughts on the upcoming VW ID7?

siracusa,
@siracusa@mastodon.social avatar

@technocidal It’s a better effort than the ID4, but the interior still makes a lot of the same mistakes, and the packaging, performance, and price are just OK.

siracusa,
@siracusa@mastodon.social avatar

@technocidal I’m not sure if they’re firm, but estimates are on the high side.

@atpfm random ask here..I’m doing a video shoot with Logitech for an upcoming product today and I wanted to know if you guys would care if I wore an ATP shirt? Probably won’t end up seeing it but I thought it might be fun. No big deal if not!

@rconti I did say I didn’t actually know the G’s price. And the base Air recently got a price drop.

@leemoknows Maybe, but that’d be a smaller back seat for sure.

Can we maybe have cotton bureau cut two feet off the hoody cords and maybe charge a little less for them😂. I got two large and they are both like this. My old XL had a cord half as long

@skitch2310 Send an email to support@cottonbureau.com and they can sort it out for you.

@siracusa i love Steven King books and I started the Dark Tower based on your positive comments. I’m in book 3 and not really enjoying it.
Push through?
Or
If you don’t like it by now, you’re not going to?

siracusa,
@siracusa@mastodon.social avatar

@jakegub I think the fourth one is the best, so maybe try to get at least that far.

@atpfm heard you guys justify the iPad Pro price by comparing it to a MacBook Air. iPad Pro 13 inch with a keyboard is $1650. MacBook Air with same RAM and storage is $1100, and it gives you 2 USB C data ports and a headphone jack. Putting aside software, even just the hardware pricing makes no sense.

siracusa,
@siracusa@mastodon.social avatar

@ammarmalik How much extra does it cost to be able to draw on the MacBook Pro or detach its keyboard? Different strokes…

First, it’s great that @MichaelWhelan is on Mastodon. What an amazing artist.

Second, his recent post featured a spherical alien that I instantly recognized from my childhood. https://mastodon.art/@MichaelWhelan/112428886103083708

It’s from this book, published in 1980, which had a cover image that is also burned into my brain.

@hoemma Yes, it’s too many books in this weird, staged photo.
