Or I didn't quite get it framed the way I wanted, but I have enough of the background that I can crop it. If you do no editing except for cropping, you will get better at taking pictures. Your pictures will look, quote unquote, look better. You're like, I didn't do anything to it. All I did was change the edge. They will look better. You don't realize how much of a good picture is...

choosing the crop choosing the composition until you've done that to a few of your pictures and suddenly the exact same picture you haven't done anything to it all you've done is define the crop suddenly looks a lot better uh once you sort of get on that train uh it's hard not to notice it so yeah cropping it's an important part of editing and you should definitely do it and i would suggest making it one of the first things that you do

I think we've talked about this exact utility on the show in the past, but it should be noted that one of the things it does to speed itself up is not do the verification of everything. That's not the only thing it does to speed itself up. So it's worth looking. You can look at the source code and see it just uses, you know, Swift concurrency to try to do it in more parallel chunks.

And you can totally peg all your CPU cores if you want to do this. But if you care about the checksumming, either don't use this tool or do a full checksum on the finished binary somehow and make sure it is what you expect.

Yeah, I didn't even try this, but I wonder what kind of file extension. Is it just .aa? But anyway, yeah, if you're just staying within an Apple platform... And you want to, you know, if you really want to compress something quickly, you want to try doing parallel, try the AA tool.

In the overtime, we were saying how trying to get kids to pay attention in class has always been a challenge. And I mentioned the Walkman as a technology that was around when I was a kid and how kids had them. And if you put them on in class, you would surely be sternly lectured that you shouldn't be listening to your Walkman while you're in class. I didn't think about hats.

But when I was a kid, that was also a thing that I guess I had mostly blocked out. Hats and gum chewing were things that adults were really obsessed with not happening in schools. But yeah, this is the bleacher. It looks like the bleachers in a gymnasium. The back wall behind the bleachers is, you know, that painted cinder block wall that all high schools had.

And literally painted, hand-painted, like, stenciled letters on the wall that are, like, two feet high, all caps. No hats, no walk-on, because the scourge of hats will destroy our children if we let it.

Yeah, what we were talking about in that overtime was, like, what should be the iPhones that Apple sells? Like... What variety should there be? Is the lineup as it is now correct? Should they make a small phone? Should they make, you know, other kinds of weird phones?

And we had this whole discussion and I thought it was interesting as an aside to the iPhone SE rumors that we're about to get to that none of us even mentioned. the iPhone SE in that whole discussion because we were like, the iPhone lineup, you know, the iPhones, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, maybe there'll be a Slim, maybe there'll be an Ultra, but not once did anyone mention that.

the iPhone SE so neglected is this previous year's model with a new name or whatever, but the iPhone SE exists. Um, and somewhat related to this, uh, the, uh, the, the iPhone mini a 17 parentheses, a 17 pro, which is what Apple calls the new iPhone mini. Um, uh, is connected to the iPhone 17 rumors.
