00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,879
Welcome to Top 5 Tech, my weekly show about what to watch, listen to, read, download and
2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:05,360
something deep every week.
3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,039
Also quick shoutout to the 5 star rating from Kiara Sexton in Canada, thank you for that.
4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,800
On what to watch this week, I've posted I think 5 videos in the last week on all the
5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,199
new Apple products, and I'm just going to link them all down in the description and
6
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:18,120
if you subscribe to the newsletter.
7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,039
The touchscreen ProLed MacBook Pro iPad mini review is out, I put my full iPhone Duo review
8
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:27,800
out, and I think one of the most interesting videos, if you only watch one, I would take
9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,280
a look at my iOS 27.3
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,200
video because I cover Siri recaps in-depth. I'm gonna be doing another
11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,840
video only on the audio intelligence and Apple Watch features very soon, but Siri
12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,920
recaps is the feature that your Apple Watch will be processing conversations
13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:49,159
you have either by location, by time, or 24/7 and providing recaps on your iPhone
14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,640
of everything that was said with bullet points and notes. It is a fascinating
15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,600
feature. We also talk about it at length on this week's primary technology, but if
16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,039
If you did not hear about this feature yet or want to learn more.
17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,280
On what to listen to, I really enjoyed this episode of The Verge cast.
18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,319
It was Rian Johnson as a guest, the film director who directed The Last Jedi and Knives Out.
19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,840
He was actually talking to David Amell, who is from the Marques Brownlee team but also does stuff with The Verge.
20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,560
And they nerded out about cameras and film.
21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,159
And Rian Johnson, the director, actually made his own camera app to use.
22
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:26,000
It was just really fun to hear them nerd out about all this technology, cameras, and films.
23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,920
And I was also a guest on the MacBreak weekly podcast, Jason Snell was the guest host.
24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,900
I was on it along with Christina Warren and Andy Anotko, we talked about the touchscreen MacBook Pro and a bunch of other stuff.
25
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:41,659
We'll link that and even a third what to listen to pick. This is only because I am a huge ER fan
26
00:01:41,659 --> 00:01:43,659
I watched the entire TV series back in the day
27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,539
But Noah Wiley was a guest on the Amy Poehler Good Hang show and if you watched ER back in the day
28
00:01:48,539 --> 00:01:49,760
Or maybe you watch The Pit now
29
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,599
I think you'll enjoy this interview. On what to read, another big feature coming in iOS
30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,120
27.3 are superpowers for Siri AI and what that means specifically is that app
31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,640
are going to be able to give Siri AI instructions on how to perform complex tasks within the app and
32
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,879
Mac stories is the article that I'll link in the what to read. They go in-depth explaining these skills
33
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:18,120
What's going to be new for developers and what's possible with these new skills in Siri AI. A couple examples
34
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,340
If you use Spotify and WhatsApp, two apps that don't typically talk to the voice assistant on iPhone
35
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,680
With these new skills once developers build them in like meta, you'll be able to tell the voice assistant
36
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Hey, send my Spotify
37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,919
playlist to this person in WhatsApp, and we'll be able to reach across those apps, perform these
38
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,759
actions without you ever having to do anything. And a lot of Apple's built in apps already have
39
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:45,840
some new features in 27.3. Like I can ask the voice assistant, organize the files in my downloads
40
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,280
folder or on my desktop, and it will just do it create folders organized by type or by content.
41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,680
It is wild. The Mac stories article explains it even more. I want to download if you're an Apple
42
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,920
pencil user, maybe you just got an iPhone Duo, you got an iPad mini, or any iPad without
43
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,879
Apple Pencil, you have got to try Fineliner. This is a new app from Marco Armit, also the
44
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:10,159
maker of the Overcast podcast app. But it is a super fun app for handwriting and doing
45
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,139
notes like that. But the onboarding process is especially fun. I don't want to spoil it,
46
00:03:15,139 --> 00:03:20,620
but it is worth trying. It is completely free to download to use unlimited notes and notebooks.
47
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:25,439
You can buy different paper styles, but you do not need to do it. It's really a free app.
48
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:29,000
And it's really fun. Also, I want to download this is for all your Apple devices, but they
49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,879
are for iPhone Duo. This is the portal app escaping to nature. It has soundscapes and
50
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:39,520
visuals that you can either leave playing on your iPhone Duo or just take a moment and
51
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,240
step back, try to relax. It is a beautifully designed app. The soundscapes and visuals
52
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,400
are really nice. So if you

have an iPhone Duo, try it there or on any Apple device,
53
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,639
you can download it for free as well. And on something deep, I'm going to link my co-host
54
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:56,960
Jason Aiton's article about this. But Google just told schools that if they want access
55
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,960
to Google search for their students' devices.
56
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:07,120
- that they have to enable and allow Google AI overviews and Google will not separate
57
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,120
them.
58
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,400
That means in schools everywhere, students will not be able to just use Google search
59
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,040
- regular search - without the AI overviews as a part of it.
60
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,040
This seems like a predatory choice and Google enforcing this, especially on schools specifically,
61
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,120
where students ideally should be learning how to research, find credible sources, find
62
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,060
scholarly articles, forcing students to have
63
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,899
to have AI overviews along with Google search.
64
00:04:32,899 --> 00:04:34,500
It feels like a huge misstep.
65
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,399
I'm hoping Google will backtrack this,
66
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:38,000
and if you do a Google search now,
67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,399
your mileage may vary, but a lot of times,
68
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,600
the Google AI overview is the entire first page,
69
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,399
or above the fold, when you do a search.
70
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:47,500
And there's a lot of talk in the tech world
71
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:50,000
about how Google is killing its best product.
72
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,100
I mean, Google owned search for over a decade,
73
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:54,600
maybe even two decades,
74
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,699
and this is a complete, unforced error.
75
00:04:56,699 --> 00:04:58,899
With AI overviews, they are hurting search,
76
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,040
hurting traffic to web.
77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,639
Outside of Google and making the experience worse and now forcing it even in the classroom
78
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:08,199
I think it's a bad move. You can read Jason Aiton's article talking about it in depth
79
00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:10,199
But again, I hope they walk this back
80
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:14,240
