You know a good way to tell the difference between? Between what? Black bear and a grizzly bear?
If it's alive after 200 cups of coffee.
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. Today feels like a little bit of a, I'm not going to say throwback episode, but like a callback episode. Cause we've got a whole bunch of stuff that might sound like it was from months slash years ago, but it's all new. For real, for real. Update. We're going to talk about Samsung foldables, Google fixing something that should have been fixed 10 years ago, GoPro launching some new cameras, Samsung price hikes, and a bunch of updates from existing previous stories that we've seen and talked about in the past. And also, I'm going to try to explain something that just happened last weekend in tech terms.
It's in the sports world, though.
It is.
So, it'll be a challenge.
But first... Well, so we actually have something before. Did we even test this? Oh. Which is... If last week you noticed our audio only episode had four and a half minutes of ads before the episode started playing with like 10 to 15 second giant pauses in between them. That was our fault. If you want to know, we only run two 30 second pre-roll ads before the show starts because we have two ad locations for pre-rolls. And last week when we were cutting the ads out of the episode, we accidentally named the full clip of all of the ads together after one of the sponsors therefore uploading it to the 130 second ad location then giving four plus ads in that spot so that's an oopsie i wonder who did that
Sorry. I got a few messages from people saying, what the heck is going on? What did you guys do? Why do you have all these ads?
I got one from someone and every time it's the first person who says it, I go, something must have been wrong with Spotify. And then the second one comes in and I go, I need to investigate this.
My favorite comment was someone commented on Spotify and said, bro is giving us time to reflect. I was cracking up.
That was so good. Our bad should be fixed by now. Couple of companies got some free promotion, I guess, just in the midst of total confusion. Yeah, it happens. But yeah, we're good. It happens. And David, you do have a, did they even?
I do actually have a couple. I'm just going to do one today because we're going to save the best for not this week. This one's funny. So as we know, there are many Chinese phone brands, right? And some of them eventually bring some of their phones to the Western world, to global markets, you might say. Yeah. One of these phones is the Xiaomi Leica phone that you just reviewed, I believe. Wait, it's not a phone? You said it's Leica phone, but it's not a phone? Oh, it's like a Leica phone. Damn. Anyway, so the Xiaomi Leica phone, there are two models. There's a Chinese model, which I believe is the one Mark has reviewed.
