685: The Ability to Be Hotter

And I was hoping that it wouldn't appear in the screen capture, but it totally does.

Anyway, we have since we believe we have since solved that problem after finishing the episode, found the setting in Zoom.

If you go to the Zoom website under settings and meetings, turn off the annotation feature, which is what that little pencil is for.

So hopefully next time it will not be there.

Also, people suggested a feature to be added to my tier list app that will show an enlarged version of the item we're talking about, which definitely helps when we're talking about something we want to look at, like a logo or an icon.

So I'll make sure I have that the next time we do a tier list, which may not be for a while because we've done a bunch of them recently.

People also suggested in my tale of woe about how I got these icons.

Part of it did involve writing various scripts and web scrapers to try to get icons from the new app store website, from the old iTunes URLs, from the app store API that's available.

And I could get lots of icons from there and I could get artwork from there, but they were never available.

They didn't have a transparent background or they were the wrong size or they were weirdly truncated.

I also got another suggestion to try device control again.

And I was like, I tried that and I got messed up icons, but maybe I have to try it on Tahoe.

So if I ever have to do this again, I do have a bunch of new suggestions about where to get stuff from.

And speaking of icons, one of the icons that we discussed, I guess I won't spoil which one it was.

One of the icons we discussed had a strange feature.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

that we couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be like, is the corner of the icon peeling up, which totally used to be a thing in the iOS 6 days.

By the way, tons of icons did that.
