What does it take to be prepared for disaster?
What does it take to be prepared for disaster? You have to be confident. You have to be calm. Will you be perfect? No. But the idea is that you'll have your bearings and this won't be something new to you. This week on Explain It To Me, how to stay ready so you don't have to get ready. New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. I read a stat last week that there's like a quarter of the amount of people there's rats in New York City. Like there's a quarter. Yeah. Wait, what? Wait, hold on. I don't understand. You're saying there's four times as many rats in New York City? There's one quarter as many rats. There's one quarter of a rat for every person. There's one rat for every four people. There's one rat for every four people.
Yeah, one rat. Isn't that? That's a lot of rats. It's a pretty big number. One rat per four people? So there's a 25% chance you have a rat following you?
There's a 25% chance you are a rat.
Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques.
What smartphone photography trends are discussed?
I'm Andrew. And I'm David. And this week there's music playing for some reason.
I don't know why.
What do you mean for some reason? But it feels appropriate. We're all back. We're all back. Oh, that's why. We're here. It's the normal crew. Spoiler, we didn't even say our names yet. We did. Audio didn't. Did we? Yeah, we did.
We actually just did. I'm rusty.
He said I'm Andrew. We went around and said our names, and you were like, so we haven't said our names. So we're all back. We're all also rusty, but hey, it's another tech week. It's Tarch. Tay. Mech. It's Mech. Google I.O. happened. We got a whole bunch of Gemini stuff. Sony tweeted. They have these new headphones, but they also tweeted this April Fool's Day joke like two months late. It was about AI photo correction. We'll talk about that. A new camera might be a Fuji X100V competitor, maybe. And a story about the coolest things we've ever done as a company because it's new and we've been keeping it a secret, but it's time you guys finally know about this thing that we've been doing. And I'm very excited to share it with you.
At the end, can't skip ahead. Full retention. Yeah. Wait, I don't know what this is. So I'm going to be excited. I'm also. I was like, yeah, totally. It's incredible. Totally. Yeah. But first, did they even test this? Yes. I think David has some that are for next week. Yeah. That are going to be really fun. I'm going to give you guys a choice. I was writing some things down on my paternity, so I have a few. But I have either a, did they even test this? Or one that I was impressed by, so I wrote it as a, hell yeah, they actually did test this. So people have been saying maybe some of these things are a little too down. I'll open the floor that if you're ever really, really impressed by something, we'll put that in there.
I like that. Because they did test it. I do like when things surprisingly work and you didn't expect them to. Yes. This is one of those. It sounds like we want to go with the hell yeah, they tested this. I think that would be fun. Cool. This is something that's positive. It worked really well. It's something that maybe surprised me because this feature hasn't worked for a long time. But I had a really good Magic Q experience. in Google Messages. Remind people what Magic Queue is. Magic Queue is a feature in Google Messages where depending on what the person is sending you in a text message, you'll get, instead of like an auto reply of yes, no, whatever, like a suggestion of maybe they're asking about an event.
So here's your calendar and you can post in the calendar event for it. It's supposed to help you answer things that Google should know within your Google landscape.
What announcements were made at Google I/O?
Yes. So I had somebody, a mutual friend of Marquez and I say, hey, do you have any photos of that camera crane arm you used to have on Marquez's Tesla? And I was like, wow, that was a long time ago. We don't have that anymore. I'm not even sure. I'm sure they're in here somewhere. And I got a little button that said Google Photos.
