Support for the show comes from Odoo. Running a business takes everything you've got, and a lot of the tools out there that are supposed to make your life easier just aren't great at talking to each other, and that means you end up having to toggle between a dozen different apps and services just to keep the lights on. Enough of that, now there's Odoo, the all-in-one, fully integrated platform that might actually help you get it all done. Thousands of businesses have made the switch, so why not you? Try Odoo for free at odoo.com. That's O-D-O-O dot com.
Should the U.S. start bringing troops home from Europe? I worry a lot that this is where we were headed. Trump sort of signaled it a lot during his first term. And in my conversations with European friends, I have been telling them, be ready for this, because I do not think we get through four years without the United States reducing its European footprint. I'm Jake Sullivan. And I'm John Feiner. And we're the hosts of The Long Game, a weekly national security podcast. This week, we debate whether the U.S.
should draw down its true presence in Europe, and we break down the latest developments in the Iran war.
The episode's out now. Search for and follow The Long Game wherever you get your podcasts. I don't need my laptop? No.
But how am I supposed to... But what if... But news.
What if the Fediverse needs me? What if the Fediverse needs me?
what is up people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast we're your hosts i'm marquez i'm david and i'm david adam wrote that into the script not me nice so yeah yeah so we're back with uh some apple news some google news and a game that adam wants to play with all of us so this will be a fun variety pack episode yes but first yes marquez you changed your whole desk setup i did we have to no we have to understand why All right, we were trying to unpack this a little bit. It was sort of a minor thing, but it ended up taking my whole day, setting all this stuff up yesterday. Classic. For those who are wondering, yeah. I mentioned in the setup video of my desk that I would be getting rid of the Mac Pro soon.
Apple literally discontinued the Mac Pro slightly after that video. Officially. Yeah, so they gave up on the Mac Pro, so so did I. Nice. Now, my question is, do I want to become the laptop person or still have a separate distinct desktop and laptop, which kind of feels to me like, do I want to have my phone for every photo or do I want to carry a separate camera? Obviously the separate camera is going to be better, but it would be convenient if I could take everything on my phone. This is the laptop dilemma. I think that a 16 inch M5 Max MacBook Pro is powerful enough to do everything that I want out of a computer, including editing, including all the plugins, including everything that we do that takes a lot of render.
but it's a 16 inch MacBook Pro. It's a big, it's heavier. Big boy. Yeah, but the 14 inch is clearly superior. I love the form factor. I would much rather carry the 14. And I know this because I've gone from a 16 to a 14 and I try to go back and back and forth. And I just, I'm- But do you ever edit on just the 14 without plugging into a display? I think I've done it like three, only once with a main video and like three or four times with vertical video shorts. Yeah, it's annoying, right? it's slightly annoying but it's not deal-breaking annoying what turned out to be more interesting is there's like a 15 to 20 difference in long-term thermal performance with the bigger chassis of the 16 you're actually getting like the max that the chip has to offer yeah true the m5 max and a 14 inch chassis is throttling a little earlier isn't giving me quite the same performance is it that big of a deal probably not but i
I'm curious if I can use the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro. 16-inch? Yes. Okay. As my everything computer. Oh. It will be the desktop plugged into those monitors, plugged into a whole bunch of stuff, a dock, a DAC, a whole bunch of, you know, we can talk about that.
