Podcast - This Is Only a Test

Episode 513 – Cetacean Ops – 8/15/19

This week, we talk about Samsung’s new Note phones, the Star Trek universe falling under one umbrella, and telepresense with RC cars. There’s also new Snap Spectacles, shakeup in VR, and yes, Barbie to discuss. Plus, Kishore grosses us all out with video of a particular snail. We can’t unsee that!

  1. Kishore,

    I am not sure what level of understanding you are seeking (with regards to the optics topic). But I work for a company known for it’s optics and I can perhaps explain whatever level of detail you are after. What would be the best way to send you my business contact info?

  2. TV Name: Tooby

    Am I the only one hearing a Rice Krispies quality in the audio?

    No, you aren’t the only one. I’m also having audio sync issues.

  3. My “complete collection” would be Grizzly Tools. Then I could make anything… might have to give away some of the redundancies since selling is not an option.

  4. I must be getting old – spending upwards of $200 on earbuds just seems like madness. Sheer utter madness. Fashion accessory? I just don’t get the “yoof” of today.

    Like most, my current phone doesn’t have a headphone jack and it is an effing nightmare. I have a bunch of places where I just want to plug in and listen to music. So I have to have dongles for everything, or bluetooth adapters for anything that is more than a few years old. I just want to plug in to my old amp in my workshop, my car, the sh!tty $10 earbuds when I cut the grass. I know why Apple/Samsung are doing it from a business point of view, but it really pi$$es me off.

    It’s not like the earbuds look that great either – I call them ear boogers.

    Rant over.

  5. First, the only name for the TV is Mike. Mike TV. (or Picture Picture)

    Second, get rid of the TV!!! I’ll watch your video content on Tested or YouTube but I listen to the podcasts in the car, and it’s hard to make out the video when there is only audio.

    Keep podcasts audio!

  6. I would 100% collect all LEGO sets ever produced. The videos of the vault at LEGO headquarters is incredible

  8. I’ve loved the note series since I swapped out my iPhone 5 for a Note 4. I’ve had S7’s, S9’s as well but love my Note 8 and just ordered the Note 10 Plus. I use the S Pen for sketching ideas on site quickly when I don’t have a surface pro. As an Architect I use it for some notes and also for taking photos (or snapshots of PDF’s or CAD files) and highlighting changes or items to correct/defects for builders or contractors. We can agree on a solution and I can issue straight away. Love it.
