0.031 - 18.495 Marques

Support for the show comes from Retool. Too many companies run critical operations on duct taped spreadsheets, Slack workflows, and whatever else they could cobble together. Not because they want to, but because building internal tools means weeks of waiting on someone else's backlog. That's where Retool comes in. Build custom internal tools just by describing what you need.

18.896 - 34.133 Marques

Prompt something like build me a revenue dashboard on our Salesforce data and Retool actually builds it on your company's data in your cloud with enterprise security built in. Go to retool.com slash waveform. We all need to retool how we build software. Support for the show comes from Chef IQ.

Then they got to California stuff for OS 10.9. Okay, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan. Yeah. Okay, great. California. Sierra. Hi, Sierra. California, California. Mojave. California. Catalina. California. Big Sur. Now we're just obscure. Monterey. Monterey's not obscure. Ventura.

0

77.212 - 79.296 Ellis

Ventura is not obscure.

0

79.276 - 82.161 Unknown

I honestly didn't know Ventura was a place.

0

82.181 - 87.37 Marques

Because you guys are not from California. Exactly. It is a little obscure. Most people aren't from California.

88.011 - 93.862 Unknown

I know, but actually, statistically, in the United States, most people are from California.

93.882 - 114.699 Marques

No, no. Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of The Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques. I'm Andrew. I'm David. So we've got a big week for you. It's the week before WWDC, so we'll have some predictions, some stuff to talk about. We've got a lot of watch talk also.

115.42 - 124.67 Marques

Apple's silicon competitors are starting to pop up, and this is part of a bunch of stuff that's competing with Apple's world, but NVIDIA RTX Spark. We've got to talk about that.

125.051 - 125.331 Unknown

Yeah.

Chapter 3: What are the latest updates on smartwatches and fitness trackers?

132.421 - 147.282 Marques

But first of all, if you haven't already subscribed on YouTube, this is definitely a shout out. I know a lot of people actually don't subscribe, but then it shows the video when we launch on the homepage anyway, because you just go to the homepage. But if you want to make sure you definitely see every new episode, subscribe and hit the little bell.

0

147.423 - 155.975 Marques

And then when it comes out, you'll be able to go, oh, pod on time or, oh, pod late. Or chapters working. Here before chapters broke. That's your alarm.

0

156.015 - 166.112 Unknown

Why are you guys coming at me? I just came here to have a good time, record a podcast. I feel very attacked right now. Well, that bell will be your alarm to go do your dishes. So you can just wait until the bell goes off and then you go do your dishes.

0

166.132 - 173.622 Marques

Yeah. And if you're subscribed, you'll always get here before the chapters break. That's right. That's very important. Yeah. But first. Did they even test this?

0

173.902 - 175.224 David

I think Ellis has one for us today.

175.645 - 195.261 Unknown

I do. And I'm kind of nervous because I sort of feel like whatever I have, did they even test this? It's just on me. Did you even Google this? I haven't. But, you know, OK, so I have been trying to broaden my worldview. And by that, I mean, use non-Apple products.

195.241 - 221.074 Unknown

More and more lately and you know eagle-eyed viewers the podcast may have noticed I've had a series of different Garmin's on my wrist for the past few weeks today. It's the Phoenix 8 OLED dinner plate edition I think solar right not solar the AMOLED AMOLED X Ben 10 Because this thing is ginormous but And I don't know if other Garmin users do this.

221.154 - 239.79 Unknown

One thing that I really like about the Garmin, I think maybe is that when you do strength workouts, you could put sets, reps, exercises, weights in, and then it's like nice thighs or whatever. I don't know. To be honest, I can't figure out how to use the data.

240.651 - 253.065 David

I've never used that. I've used Garmin for years and the sets and reps thing, I always just, my strength workouts, I essentially set up a bunch of different cardio workouts with just names of what I'm doing that day. So I just know the general.

Chapter 4: What are the features of the new daily brief systems mentioned?

2883.034 - 2885.856 Marques

Oh, wow. What is your daily brief? Mine comes to me when I wake up.

0

2886.137 - 2886.537 Unknown

Yeah.

0

2886.517 - 2902.371 Marques

Mine gets, okay, yeah. So it shows up in the morning. But often I've dismissed a bunch of emails from the night before and it's telling me about those again. And it's telling me to take actions on things that are emails that I'm already going to do because I read my emails. So what does yours do?

0

2902.391 - 2906.855 Unknown

Mine's like, oh, this thing that you bought on eBay finally shipped. Here's the tracking number.

0

2906.935 - 2907.795 Marques

Because of the email.

2908.716 - 2913.5 Unknown

Yeah. Yeah. But like, I don't know, that might be buried in my, I just like having it all in one place.

Chapter 5: How does the new Microsoft Project Solara Agent OS work?

2913.861 - 2930.487 Unknown

And it's like. Like your inbox. No, because not everything in my life is in my email, right? It mixes in things that happen in my email and in my calendar and in my Google Drive, stuff like that, or in my Google Tasks.

0

2931.028 - 2948.788 Marques

You know what's been weirdly better? is I've been using Dia, and this is not an ad for them, but the browser. And because I have Google Docs open and I've given it access to stuff, it knows what docs I've been working on and it's seen my calendar and it knows this other stuff. And the daily brief that pops up in the morning from Dia

0

2948.768 - 2976.075 Marques

is often more more variety like it knows what documents i've been working on it's like here's some stuff like it wants some sources to help you finish this dope tech video you've been writing this is on your phone this is on dia the browser i'm like on my desktop so like that has been more useful because it's not all just emails it goes oh you have some unresolved comments from the google doc from andrew and harper on this and this thing you've been writing yeah that's pretty useful um leaving those comments

0

2976.055 - 2981.042 Marques

I like that a lot. But the Google one I get every morning is just like a summary of my emails.

0

2981.062 - 2990.395 Unknown

Let me tell you my daily brief. Sure. Okay, so I'm shipping a product to a friend and then they're going to bring it to me. It's just a kind of complicated thing.

Chapter 6: What recent announcements did Microsoft make regarding AI and agents?

2990.896 - 3013.406 Unknown

And for some reason it knows the friend that I'm shipping it to and it tells, so it not only was like, here's your tracking information, but it says share the tracking information with him so that he can bring it to you. That's nice. Which is crazy, because I didn't, you know, that's not in the email from eBay. It's kind of a complicated, it's interesting. I don't know how it knows that.

0

3014.507 - 3035.014 Unknown

Inspect the package that got delivered last night to make sure that nothing got, like, there was no transit damage, which is convenient, because it knows that something recently got damaged in transit, I think because I, like, submitted a claim. It's kind of interesting. Um, last night I was trying to transfer from the iPhone air over to the iPhone pro max and it was freezing constantly.

0

3035.074 - 3053.761 Unknown

So it's like, make sure you resolve the freezing issue, which is, you know, obviously something. How does it know that? Cause you're a Google searching because I, I asked Gemini once yesterday, like I'm trying to transfer in it. It's freezing. Like what's the best thing to do? Here's a package that didn't know was arriving today where it's like hey this thing is arriving today.

0

3053.781 - 3060.691 Unknown

It should get there whatever Must be from an email upcoming birthdays Which is one is on Friday?

0

3061.071 - 3073.309 Marques

I didn't know about like I wouldn't have checked my calendar to like try to see that the birthday was interesting So I'm just so dialed in my calendar and inbox that this feels redundant to me But if I wasn't checking my calendar in my inbox, I do not live in my email app

3073.289 - 3093.56 Unknown

all and the only I mean I use my calendar like crazy but the only reason I use it is to make sure I'm not double scheduling things when people ask to like hang out or do something you know okay so maybe we just have different I think for people that live in their email maybe it's not as it's pretty redundant for me okay What does yours do, Adam? Mine, I'm like a mix.

3093.6 - 3110.742 Unknown

Like I live in my email, but I also live in my calendar, but I also live in my notes app. Like I'm all over the place. So my email specifically, the things I pay attention for are appointments, which may or may not reflect on my Google calendar. But for example, the one that saved me yesterday actually was last week.

3110.762 - 3128.428 Unknown

I have a class every Tuesday with a Spanish tutor that I meet on Zoom and we go through it for an hour. We had a miscommunication about scheduling and when we were going to talk, all this stuff. So that was like a long email thread that it's all in Spanish, which I'm not great at. So it all like got lost in translation, literally.

3128.848 - 3139.745 Unknown

So yesterday I woke up and the Google Assistant little thing, Gemini Daily Brief, thank you, was like, oh, don't forget you have your Spanish class today. And the email thread is all in Spanish.

Chapter 7: What trivia question wraps up the episode?

3139.805 - 3153.923 Unknown

And I was like, oh, snap, it is today. Like, yeah, let me let me lock that in my calendar. One o'clock, I have my calendar, blah, blah, blah. So, like, things like that. It was, like, things that I would otherwise miss or not really pay attention to. Subscriptions that I meant to cancel, but I keep forgetting. Like, it'll keep reminding you.

0

3153.943 - 3171.325 Unknown

Like, don't forget, last week you wanted to do this thing. Yeah. And I still see that it's still there. I, like, rarely check my email. So, honestly, I should check it more. But, honestly, like, it telling me that things are arriving today that I've ordered that I just didn't know about is very helpful. Especially since packages get stolen from my apartment, like, all the time.

0

3171.886 - 3189.833 Marques

Yeah. So... Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It makes a lot of sense to someone who's not in the inbox all the time that this would be useful. I'm looking at my daily brief again. It's literally just, hey, you got an email. You want to do anything about that? Here's another email. And yeah, it's not really pulling from anywhere other than email.

0

3189.853 - 3192.657 Unknown

How are you guys finding your daily brief? It's in the Gemini app.

0

3192.818 - 3193.278 Marques

Yeah.

3193.338 - 3202.916 Unknown

It's near the top if you open the sidebar. Yeah. You can also get a notification for it every morning when you wake up. That's what I get. And I didn't realize I could just go to the Gemini app to see it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

3203.898 - 3205.521 Marques

Dial in your new podcast room layout.

3205.782 - 3223.259 Unknown

Yeah. Modify or confirm your Chewy auto ship order. Still have to do that. So you completely forgot about that. Review GitHub app cloud requests for system permissions. Should probably check that. Sounds important. Sounds important to me. I'm just saying, I think it's quite good.

3223.32 - 3245.221 Unknown

And it's going to be interesting to see how Apple, like what data Apple allows their local models to collect and like use to actually be helpful. Because Google has never pretended to be about privacy whatsoever. They're more like, actually, just give us all our data and we will give you useful features. And Apple is like, we don't look at anything. So it's just going to be different.
