USB-C iPhone Confirmed and YouTube's Redesign!

YouTube removing "sort by oldest" when browsing channels is the single biggest nerf I've experienced in how I use the site. I'm not sure how it can get much worse at this point except for making old videos by creators completely inaccessible.

Marques: “no one watches in 4K” Also Marques: records in 16k

Andrew outing himself as a Swiftie is my favorite part of this episode period

Andrew and the Haas F1 t-shirt is low-key the coolest part of the video version of the podcast.

😂 I loved the 15 mins of Marques and Andrew forgetting they were on a podcast and spiraling into their train of thought. Literally the only two people I watch online who I've started to feel like I'm "hanging" out with.

I actually think that USB-C's development was driven by the initial EU 2009 directive suggesting a common charger. The USB-IF saw that there needed to be one cable to do it all, and they delivered. How long it will remain the top dog is yet to be seen, but given that the connector supports up to 40Gbps and 240W charging, I don't think we're gonna need something new for quite a while. And considering the timeline of this common charger law (initially proposed in 2009, extended to 2014, then finalised in 2020), we can expect to have the standards revised evey 5-7 years. They could come up with a better connector by 2030, but seeing as we still use USB-A for so many devices, I have my doubts. Also, does nobody remember the 2015 Macbook? Apple jumped on the USB-C wagon before almost anyone else, leaving all their previous customers invested in other systems out to dry. They will gladly turn on a dime and pull the rug from under their customers, they're just mad that they're getting the same treatment from the EU.

OMG YES Producer Cam please! Edit: Andrew send it! Edit2: wish I can see the thousands of other users watching this podcast live and interact with you guys.

Ok, just to put it out there... on a 4K monitor, watching in 4k. Always 4K. Also, a premium user. I watch waveform religiously. Love when David is the third leg, honestly. He is a very good educator, IMO. Great job guys. I wait for the video all the time.

As far as I remember, the EU DOES NOT just say that everyone has to use USB-C for ever, but that companies have to follow the USB Implementers Forum's standard. Following such standards has been normal in software for decades and I have never heard someone make the argument of "stopping innovation". It's weird that this argument only comes up when someone is afraid of missing out on money for doing nothing 🤔

Andrew's love for Taylor Swift is so wholesome

i’m in thrift store, went to the selector, chose 4K out of spite and watched the last half of the podcast while i kept shopping 😂

FWIW it is written into the directive that it will be revised at specific intervals by the Commission. They will reevaluate which device categories are included, as well as which standard specification is to be used. So, USB-C hasn't been made mandatory forever, it's just that whatever replaces it will need to be flexible and non-proprietary such that the entire industry can adopt it. I guess that does limit innovation for individual companies making their own charger ports, but that sounds like a good thing. Had this exact directive been issued for Micro-USB in 2009, I don't think we would still be stuck using that standard.

Guys, Marques, Andrew, PLEASE add a producer cam 😂😂😂 This is the last show that doesn’t have one! Even LINUS HAS A PRODUCER CAM! 🤣

I use apple products across my activities and I can attest to the fact that the presence of a common charging system is more logical and wise for consumers. It sometimes weird to have different chargers around.

Just stumbled across this video and I was intrigued. Great content!

I love that Ellis includes difficult, off the wall, trivia questions. It makes us all have to think more.

Even though I don’t have 4K resolution on my screen, I still put the setting at 4K as long as it’s allowable, because I do notice the ever so slightest bump up and quality, which is also what I think Linus mentioned in his video. The rate is improved in there, for the quality is improved. I always watch at highest if not at the very least second highest quality if I can manage it regardless of if I’m on Wi-Fi or cellular.

Apple`s fight with type-c has nothing to do with competition and innovation! They have had 10 years with this cable and connector and they never changed it...while USB is constantly improving! Let`s focus on one universal connector/charger that saves everyone money + more environmental benefits. Imagine if the RJ-45 (Ethernet cable port) was not a standard and everyone had their own version...However, apple likes the cut from the certifications they hand out to products made for iphone even though they have changed almost every other product with type-c.

I watch most YouTube on 1080p and 1440p screens, but on larger displays a 1080p YouTube stream is incredibly pixelated in terms of bitrate. I always choose a step higher in "YouTube resolution" than my screen so that it actually looks like the screen's display res

As a web developer I want to expand on the idea of limiting the video quality depending on the screen size of the user, I think this is not the best idea to put it in the nicest way for the following reasons; 1. Getting the user's screen size from the browser isn't necessarily possible since we are only able to query the browser's size (part of how the browsers change their styling depending on how big they are, a feature called Media Queries in CSS), which means that people have to be having to fill the screen with their browser for us to detect it. If you scale it down to a lower resolution for example to split screen another program this would mean we'd be limiting the selectable quality even though your screen is in general higher resolution, just that the browser size is smaller. This will open a multitude of QoL problems like if the user does decide to splitscreen, do we automatically lower the resolution since it's not available anymore since the browser window is smaller? Or do we remove the option for the highest resolution even though he chose it? Do we keep the highest resolution he has had the browser window to just in case? 2. The detection of the user's monitor size might have adverse effects to user privacy. From what I remember during my forays on the internet one of the things hackers might use against you is knowing your monitor resolution as this may be identifying information. In the Dark Web for example it is not recommended to have your browser at full screen but at a smaller resolution. A scenario might be where this could be harmful is what if people knew that 90% of the youtube viewership had a 1080p screen? Right now you might be able to manipulate this by changing the video resolution to something that doesn't match your screen but if we know you have a 1080p screen then someone might be able to create a scam that targets the 1080p users while disregarding the "loss" of people who aren't using 1080p screens. In a similiar way what if you were the only 4K user but someone knew in which street you lived? There is a high chance that with an seemingly weird but innocent question disguised as a technological survey someone might be able to pinpoint you because they knew you have a 4K display and you might be the only one in your street. Of course this overall second point being a pretty niche and unprobable scenario.
