Tech conversations by two and sometimes three generations of techies.
Todd and Jack discuss Water H smart bottles that track hydration via sensors but face Bluetooth reconnection issues. F5’s bowling sensor shares similar Bluetooth limits; it tracks motion but not pin counts, costing $200 plus $100 annually.
Bowling device use requires pro shop drilling to three standard sizes or inserts; tracking data supports improvement. OS 27 updates include LLM Siri with answers, automations, and interface changes. GM will exclude CarPlay from electric vehicles.
Tesla reportedly delays CarPlay due to routing mismatches with Apple Maps during full self-driving; synchronization requires a new interface. John Ternus praised the iPhone Duo, while iOS 27 enables dual-phone service via carriers. AI aids developers.
Switching phones revealed quality gains, but Duo camera loss raises concerns. Rumored updates include iPad mini with OLED and higher chips, water resistance, M6 iMac and MacBook Pro, touchscreen Macs, Apple TV, HomePod minis, and a Home Hub for local AI. AI researchers fear recursive self-rewriting code.
An article dated the 15th warns AI self-development risks unmanageable outcomes; developers rely on AI to build AI. The Hugging Face incident reflects poor isolation practices. Apple’s hardware enables local AI, driving demand.
Siri improvements in iOS 27 may overcome user reluctance, especially in cars, though false activations occur in loud settings. NHTSA ordered Tesla to prove cyber cab legality; current rules require a foot brake and mirrors, creating compliance issues.
Zoox obtained a Part 55 exemption through 2028, enabling driverless rides in Las Vegas and San Francisco; Tesla’s cyber cab may require similar rules or exemptions for sale.
iPhone evolution included Lightning and screen changes, Touch ID on 5S, plus models starting with 6, stiffening on 6S, dual cameras on 7 Plus, tactile home button on 7, triple cameras on 11 Pro, USB-C and action button on 15, and ceramic shield on 17. Anker is phasing out Soundcore and Eufy sub-brands. Tesla leads EV sales and charging standards; Ford adopted Apple Maps. California tested solar covers on aqueducts to reduce evaporation and generate power.
Covering the aqueduct could reduce algae and enable water wheels under solar panels to generate electricity from gravity-driven flow. Three solar types are used. The call ends due to low power; Generation Tech returns next week.
