You know that vanilla is actually one of the more complex flavors. There's like 30-something flavor things that go into vanilla. That sounds like something vanilla would say. Big vanilla. Big vanilla wants you to believe. Yo, what's 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, we've got a bunch... Everyone's back. Oh, yeah, everyone's back. Let's go! Everyone is actually officially here. This is back to your regular, regularly scheduled programming. For real, for real. No cap. On God. Actually, our last episode, in case you missed it, was a bonus episode where we explained tech... Sorry, we explained the NBA in tech terms.
I really schooled these guys. But also kind of for some people, explain tech in NBA terms if you're up on ball and you wanted to know more about tech. That's right. By the end of it, we were just talking ball.
Yeah, basically. There's a great comment that's like, by the end of this video, I will either know about basketball or know nothing about technology.
Yeah. It was great. I highly suggest you check it out if you haven't already. But now we're back to regular scheduled programming, which means we can talk all the news. The Steam machine got a launch and a price, and we got a lot to say about that. Also, Meta launching cheaper sunglasses without the rebranding, and we got our first look at the $25,000 slate truck, which I have many thoughts on. I also got to drive it, by the way. And the nothing phone 4B. So, yeah, we'll talk about it all. But first... Have you subscribed? See what I did there? Usually you expect me to go into the, did you even test it? But I just want to make sure everyone's subscribed.
If your subscribe button's red, right? What's it start out as? You should test it and see what happens.
It changes color so much. On mobile, it might not even have a color anymore. It's like rainbow sometimes. I think it might be black.
We didn't test this CTA out very well.
By the way, I hate the new mobile app not showing like counts anymore. I just want to say I hate it. I got it now. It's on my phone. We had this conversation. It's hit my phone. I hate it. Anyway, make sure you subscribe to the Waveform podcast. We appreciate that. Okay, now. Did they even test this?
I've got this one. In fact, I am this one. Because last week, I exclaimed from the rooftops that Android 17 is the best update ever because it got rid of At A Glance. It was gone already.
You really doubled down on this, too. You said, believe me, I would know. Not just that. I tested this for a week.
Next morning, or Friday morning, Rufus goes... The pod was up for 20 minutes, and Rufus goes, there's a comment that says it was out in 16. I was like, no, it's not. I didn't even turn around. And then I saw another one, and I was like, oh, my God. Yeah, I remember we talked about this a while ago in one of the 16 betas that they were testing, and I didn't download the beta, but I was like, it's going to come, and I guess I just never looked again. And when I was looking through things in 17... That little f***er was just sitting there looking at me, and I was like, can I get rid of you? And I could, and I assumed it was 17. I was wrong. I'm sorry. I will live in shame. We didn't change the name of the episode.
You still can get rid of it. For sure.
Yes. But yeah, I still like 17 so far, even though most of it is just... getting rid of all the stuff they've screwed up in the past and making some of the colors a little nicer.
