Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
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.
Chapter 2: How does Odoo improve business management?
Enough of that, now there's Odoo, an 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.

When I was a kid in either fourth or fifth grade, we had to make, and this is a horrible assignment to give a child, a paper mache... Oh, God. Terrible already. Yeah. ...to scale solar system. Wait, so you had, like... Which, as you know, is f***ing absurd.
That's impossible, Chad. So kids and I... We need, like, a marble in a football field.
Yes, yes. So my son was, like, this big, and Pluto was still, like, 20 feet away, and I had everything connected with, like... dowels and strings and like- How did you bring that into school? I don't remember. I got to ask my parents about this because I remember this project.
What you should have done is brought in the sun and be like, the rest is at home. Where it belongs.
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. And I'm David. This week, it's still TARCH, believe it or not.
Oh, please. I thought we were so over this.

Chapter 3: What are the recent updates from Flighty?
Whereas a designer would be like, at no point did anyone ever choosing between those two options. Like they should be far away. Yeah. Erase should be at the bottom.
If we want a good example of a designer brain that may not have noticed something that feels too obvious, we just released these studio stickers, which if you are an audio listener, essentially what our design team has thought up of, which I think is really interesting, is the eyedropper tool from Photoshop or any design program, except that we have cut it out so there is a...
Chapter 4: What changes are coming to Apple Maps?
It's not clear. It's just a straight cutout in the eyedropper and in the circle that it's selecting. So no matter what you put it on, it looks like you're selecting the color.
A lot of people got very confused at this. Somebody posted on our subreddit, our unofficial subreddit. They're like, I'm confused. How did they get the colors to match exactly what the thing they put it on? And it's because there's a cutout and it's clear and you can see through it.
That's what I was saying. Like our designers, somebody said in Instagram, is there a red one? Right. It's like, yes, there is any color you could ever think of because it is using the object underneath it. Yeah. None of us ever thought that would happen. But there are multiple comments on Twitter and Reddit and Instagram. So, yes, whatever color you would like. These are new stickers available.
Except except teal. It doesn't work on teal.
No. Well, it shouldn't. Sorry, Dave. I will say that it works much better on brighter, more vibrant colors. I put it on my iPhone Blue, whatever the blue color is called this year. And it's not as poppy. When you put it on your water bottle, you're like, whoa. It looks like a red sticker, like a bright red sticker. It's pretty cool. But on my dark blue iPhone, it's not as vibrant.
So I would put it on your more vibrant iPhone.
You're using an old version also that has a clear outline, which creates less contrast on the overall. Oh, yeah. We updated it. Oh, you're right. I'm using a vintage one. We have an all-white outline now, so no matter what your color is, you should get a big contrast boost because it's compared to white.
That's a great point.
That's a great point.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of OpenAI's financial dealings?
And also one thing you should know is that pretty much every OpenAI deal is not real money. It's like the idea of money. Nothing ever really happens. Everyone's like, Nvidia's like, we're investing one trillion in open AI. And they're like, what does that mean? And then they just sort of do jazz hands and walk away. So, you know, none of these circular deals are inflating the stock market.
And that's why you're seeing a lot of red. A lot of them are like promises to invest over time or something. That's what the Disney one was. It was $1 billion investments over a period of time. And it didn't even start. Yeah, no money had changed hands. No money had changed hands. Huge win.
So it's not happening. Yeah. Um, David, I'm going to give you $1 billion over the next three years. I hope my stock goes up. Psych.
Uh, yeah. So the, another funny thing about this is that meta had purchased, had Aqua hired, um, a guy to lead the super intelligence lab. And the first product that they launched was an AI slap generator, video generator that was supposed to compete with Sora. It was, um, it was horrible. And I think they shut it down too, hopefully. Um, But this is good for everybody.
Like we don't need more AI slop. If you're ever on Twitter, there's a lot of fruits cheating on each other on there. I don't know if you've seen this.

Chapter 6: Why is Meta ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram DMs?
Fruits? Yeah, fruits. What?
Yeah. Wait, you guys haven't seen this? I'm jealous of you guys not seeing this.
I see mostly, because you can do like the remixes with YouTube videos. Every once in a while, I'll go to one of our old videos to reference something and I'll just be like, blah, blah, blah, remix with this video. And it's a short of like a pregnant cat Yeah, they're always pregnant. There's always a pregnant cat and a dad cat, and they're having a baby, and it has your voice over the background.
Well, and the background music is always, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. It's really bad. It's like... I think it redefines hallucination are you laughing it redefines the the word slop like really it does it's also This stuff makes a ton of misinformation out there for sure not just straight so not just like literal harmful videos Yeah, so I'm glad it's gone.
I'm glad I missed that dance on the grave Speaking of Instagram meta doing slop things. Do you want to break this down?
Yeah, I'll try and break this down really quick IGDMs are no longer going to be end-to-end encrypted by May 8th. This is kind of a... I mean, I think everyone knows what end-to-end encryption is. You and the recipient are the only ones who are able to see the message due to code... Encryption. Encryption, yeah. Encryption keys. Public and private keys.
So this feels like a really big deal headline-wise, but there's a couple weird things about this
that make me confused so i'm going to read out a couple of the reasons why i think or they've said that they're ending this encryption and everyone can be the judge and why they think they really are ending it um so they've been the way they announced this first of all meta is not like a full post they updated a 2022 news post about encryption to say that encryption is ending on may 8th so like two months away um and a couple reasons one a meta spokesperson said that
Which I didn't know about. The encryption is opt-in on Instagram, which I never knew about. I'm sure most people don't know about. And they said very, very few people on Instagram use encryption anymore.

Chapter 7: What are the concerns surrounding Meta's decision on encryption?
Because it's opt-in. Because it's opt-in. Exactly. Poor... Not even just communication, just poor design. I mean, Meta probably doesn't want it to be encrypted because they want all of that.
Well, there's a lot of drama going on right now with the EU and the UK.
So the next point is FBI, Interpol, UK safety organizations are all urging Meta to break encryption because of child safety, because of how much... meta in general and Instagram specifically is essentially harming children in so many different ways, one of them being through DMs and with encryption.
If the correct people have the encryption on, it makes it really harder to find chat logs or stuff like that. So they're urging meta to end encryption. Another thing is Meta is just not getting rid of encryption in WhatsApp. They're telling people to just move to WhatsApp if you want encryption-based messages. Just use WhatsApp, bro. They literally pulled the just use WhatsApp. I hate this.
And then the last reason, which I think most of us can agree on, is... Meta's favorite, but maybe the one they don't want to admit, is yes, without encrypted DMs, they have the ability to use those DMs to target you with advertisements and train data, train AI data on your messages, which
the the reason this is all kind of weird is it seems like most people aren't using it so they're probably doing all this anyways but like the actual end to this is probably just saving them money because they don't have to run compute to and saving their face with like all the all the public stuff with the it's really nice that they're having other people like government agencies tell them to remove it so they can just be like well that's the reason we're removing it thanks for the training data thanks for the advertising yeah uh
Yeah, that's kind of I'll let everybody be the judge of how they want to see this story with encryption. But I think the thing to know here is if you really care about privacy encryption, you don't touch a Meta product. Yeah, that's like the easiest thing here.
The number one advertising company in the world.
Yeah, I think Meta realizes that like a lot of the DMs on Instagram. They mostly care about you sharing reels and sharing posts and pushing you to other parts of Instagram to spend more time on and gather more data to spend more money. So they don't really care about this. WhatsApp is still encrypted if you want to use that.

Chapter 8: How does the podcast wrap up with trivia and reflections?
Yeah, they're all not made here. But even some of them might be station or like headquartered in the U.S. They're still not manufactured in the U.S. So like... First of all, if you already own a router that doesn't meet this criteria, it's going to work fine. But the new ones then coming into the United States will be put on a list where the radios won't be authorized.
It's just insane. It's so isolationist to say anyone not made in the United States.
I think that's wild.
Like it would be more understandable if it was like from specific countries that the government deems to be adversaries or whatever. But the fact that it is not in the United ā it's like I cannot name a single router company that is based in the United States. They probably exist, but they are not mass market.
I think TP-Link is now headquartered in California.
They're probably made in Taiwan.
Yeah.
Yeah, or Vietnam.
I forget exactly where they are. A lot of ones I was finding were made in Vietnam, but still that is just straight up foreign country that is not the U.S.
