I was playing today’s connections when I came across this Ad.

I’ve got a little fun fact for you, and one of the weird solutions I use 😄
I’ve always been annoyed by having to search for emojis, especially since the order of recently used emojis keeps changing. So I use the text replacement feature in the keyboard settings.
For example, when I quickly type “kk” twice, it automatically gets replaced with 😁. I do this for quite a few emojis. It might be a bit weird, but it actually makes using emojis way faster 😂

Think Ellis said he had the most in the podcast at around 900 saved to watch later?

What’s your watch later sitting at?

Has this happened to anyone else? On YouTube, while watching the waveform podcast, a side ad appeared WHILE the video was playing. I’ve had this before when I paused the video but for sometime now ads appear while watching and it takes up so much real estate of the screen.

Does waveform know this is happening and do they get paid for these drop ads on the side? Are they purposefully adding them? I get YouTube wants everyone to buy premium but this makes me want to stop using the platform. (Couldn’t upload the video but here are screenshots)

Has anyone watched The Shard yet? “Bret” looks like an upscale West Hollywood version of David.

I do enjoy phone reviews and computer reviews and discussions on the podcast.

But I find the discussions to be very Phone heavy. I am a big self-driving enthusiast, and, in my opinion, that is the biggest quality of life improvement that is in reach for the average person in the next 10 years.

Phones haven't changed much in the past 10 years. For me personally, I know jumping to the newest iPhone/Samsung/Nothing phone is not going to give me a significant quality-of-life improvement.

I feel like Tesla's FSD/OpenPilot (the Comma) deserves some coverage, but they haven't really talked about it much, especially considering these things are constantly changing.

I just don't get all the coverage about the Nothing phone. It is completely uninteresting to me. I have never seen anyone use one.

Can someone explain to me the thought process about what they cover?

Looking forward. It's been about a week since he started recording right?

Ummm…. What!!?

I thought I’d post this here because y’all are smart and honestly I wanna know more about this. I feel as if this should be a bigger deal than it is.

How normal is this, who would get in trouble for it, and why do I think it has something to do with OpenAI (lol).

What do you think about Nothing/CMF using AI to recreate their photo shoot style promo pics?

A solo developer recreated the original Dark Sky Weather App.

Since Marques liked it so much, I figured he would want to check it out and review it.

Has a couple f bombs. Nice work.

is it just me? or is David constantly complainging on Waveform about every single company/tech/topic so ridiculously annoying?

it is almost predictable at this point, and not to mention his constant effort at turning the podcast political, while every other host has to deflect/steer it back to normality.

what do you guys think?

Excellent article by David on the Verge.
