678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Like I'm not saying they're a danger, but it's a thing that you now have to deal with that you wouldn't have to deal with if they were flat.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Honestly, I still think this looks really nice.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

It just doesn't look like a Ferrari.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Oh, it's a nice car.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

It better be for the amount of money they're going to charge for it.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Yeah, no, they didn't do a bad job, but I just kind of disappointed that the world's best designers didn't have any better ideas about it.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

I think the center console they did do a bad job with, and I think the iPad in the middle...

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

It's a push like it's it's not bad.

It's not the worst of those scenes, but like they they they grab some new problems themselves with the tilting, which kind of defeats a bunch of purposes.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And they didn't come up with anything new.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Oh, and the air vents.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

Let's talk about the air vents.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

I believe other designers have done the same thing, which since the air vents are circular and the they have a big circle inside them that tilts.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

And so if you want to close them off, the circle goes flat and so no air can get through.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

If you want them totally open, the certain circle goes like so there's just, you know, so it's edge on to you.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

So it blocks the least amount of air.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

That's not a great design for a vent because your only way to reduce the amount of air also involves changing the direction of the air because of the way the vent works.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

You know, it's on an angle.

Accidental Tech Podcast
678: Mentoring a Box of Numbers

There's a reason a lot of them have those little louvers because then changing how much air goes through has less influence on the direction.

But Johnny just really wanted it to be a circle inside a tube.
