Hello and welcome to a new episode of debunking.
|
|
|
0:00:19 – 0:00:23
Where I occasionally deviate from the subject,
|
|
|
0:00:23 – 0:00:28
I've been thinking a few things.
|
|
|
0:00:28 – 0:00:32
I have podcasts that I listen to.
|
|
|
0:00:32 – 0:00:35
And I noticed one thing.
|
|
|
0:00:35 – 0:00:40
Somehow that's with the podcasts I'm consuming now,
|
|
|
0:00:40 – 0:00:46
All extremely "apple-heavy".
|
|
|
0:00:46 – 0:00:52
I mean, people there all use Apple computers,
|
|
|
0:00:52 – 0:00:59
Devices, mobile phones, smartwatches and so on.
|
|
|
0:00:59 – 0:01:02
And I find this really interesting,
|
|
|
0:01:02 – 0:01:09
I come from a world that is mostly PC.
|
|
|
0:01:09 – 0:01:12
Not necessarily Windows.
|
|
|
0:01:12 – 0:01:17
Of course, Windows is important if you want to use certain programs,
|
|
|
0:01:17 – 0:01:20
Because it's not all about Linux.
|
|
|
0:01:20 – 0:01:25
But people have also been extremely on Linux
|
|
|
0:01:25 – 0:01:30
And yes, even today on Linux.
|
|
|
0:01:30 – 0:01:35
So all people who have to do with servers love Linux.
|
|
|
0:01:35 – 0:01:41
Few say, okay, Microsoft's Windows server,
|
|
|
0:01:41 – 0:01:44
Most of them are Linux.
|
|
|
0:01:44 – 0:01:50
I never owned an Apple computer.
|
|
|
0:01:50 – 0:01:58
And I found this discussion that always existed between Apple and Windows machines,
|
|
|
0:01:58 – 0:02:03
Funny, because they're just tools.
|
|
|
0:02:03 – 0:02:09
So now nothing special, not even something really,
|
|
|
0:02:09 – 0:02:18
What do I call it, serious, simple tools?
|
|
|
0:02:18 – 0:02:26
Do you have to feel that way somehow?
|
|
|
0:02:26 – 0:02:31
Even with mobile phones, I mean, the things are too expensive for me, the computers are too expensive for me.
|
|
|
0:02:31 – 0:02:38
I'm better off with a Windows machine.
|
|
|
0:02:38 – 0:02:40
It's cheaper.
|
|
|
0:02:40 – 0:02:43
If necessary, I can also build a hacking tosh.
|
|
|
0:02:43 – 0:02:48
So Hacking-Tosch is just that you download certain images
|
|
|
0:02:48 – 0:02:52
and buy certain hardware, which is then compatible
|
|
|
0:02:52 – 0:02:59
And then you have a non-Apple computer,
|
|
|
0:02:59 – 0:03:04
This is where the Apple software comes in.
|
|
|
0:03:04 – 0:03:07
Everything is possible, there are enough instructions for it.
|
|
|
0:03:07 – 0:03:11
Most people, when I listen to them like that, always say,
|
|
|
0:03:11 – 0:03:14
How beautiful the operating system is.
|
|
|
0:03:14 – 0:03:17
I think so too.
|
|
|
0:03:17 – 0:03:21
And I also believe that in the media world
|
|
|
0:03:21 – 0:03:24
Media professionals like to work with Apple computers,
|
|
|
0:03:24 – 0:03:33
because the concept is always very conclusive and easily accessible.
|
|
|
0:03:33 – 0:03:37
But that brings me back to this initial question.
|
|
|
0:03:37 – 0:03:43
Why is the podcast world so apfelerfin?
|
|
|
0:03:43 – 0:03:53
Is this because podcasting is such an iPod invention?
|
|
|
0:03:53 – 0:03:57
So that was the first victory move?
|
|
|
0:03:57 – 0:03:59
The first wave of podcasts?
|
|
|
0:03:59 – 0:04:01
Could be, huh?
|
|
|
0:04:01 – 0:04:04
What is the name of the pod?
|
|
|
0:04:04 – 0:04:06
It comes from the iPod.
|
|
|
0:04:06 – 0:04:11
It can be.
|
|
|
0:04:11 – 0:04:15
It can also be that a lot of good software,
|
|
|
0:04:15 – 0:04:22
which is freely available, stop has been used to produce,
|
|
|
0:04:22 – 0:04:30
It's on the operating system for Apple computers.
|
|
|
0:04:30 – 0:04:37
I know you buy a license for Logic once, and then that's it.
|
|
|
0:04:37 – 0:04:45
So this is a lifelong affair.
|
|
|
0:04:45 – 0:04:47
I don't know.
|
|
|
0:04:47 – 0:04:52
I use many programs that exist in both worlds,
|
|
|
0:04:52 – 0:04:54
Even in three worlds.
|
|
|
0:04:54 – 0:04:57
So what I'm working on is the podcast,
|
|
|
0:04:57 – 0:05:01
It's on Linux,
|
|
|
0:05:01 – 0:05:08
on the Mac operating system of Apple and stop by Windows.
|
|
|
0:05:08 – 0:05:11
And so I have other programs that exist on both,
|
|
|
0:05:11 – 0:05:15
on Mac, on Windows,
|
|
|
0:05:15 – 0:05:21
Or just things that are only available on Linux.
|
|
|
0:05:21 – 0:05:26
Why I haven't switched from Linux yet, that's funny, too.
|
|
|
0:05:26 – 0:05:32
Because not all the programs I use are good alternatives.
|
|
|
0:05:32 – 0:05:36
For the entire music production, the entire plugins,
|
|
|
0:05:36 – 0:05:38
Somehow there aren't all of them.
|
|
|
0:05:38 – 0:05:43
There's a part, but not the stuff I'd like to have.
|
|
|
0:05:43 – 0:05:51
And that's why I'm staying on Windows.
|
|
|
0:05:51 – 0:06:00
Yes, this is just such a thing, with which I will have to live well or badly,
|
|
|
0:06:00 – 0:06:04
I have to wait for a while.
|
|
|
0:06:04 – 0:06:08
I'm not so happy with Windows either.
|
|
|
0:06:08 – 0:06:12
Others do it much better.
|
|
|
0:06:12 – 0:06:17
Yeah, that's why.
|
|
|
0:06:17 – 0:06:19
I'm thinking this way now.
|
|
|
0:06:19 – 0:06:23
The colleagues with whom I make the trial podcast,
|
|
|
0:06:23 – 0:06:32
It's a podcast about hobby music production.
|
|
|
0:06:32 – 0:06:38
They both use the newer Macs.
|
|
|
0:06:38 – 0:06:42
those with the M1 or M2 processor,
|
|
|
0:06:42 – 0:06:44
and are super satisfied.
|
|
|
0:06:44 – 0:06:48
So in power consumption, battery life,
|
|
|
0:06:48 – 0:06:55
And also with the larger computers of those,
|
|
|
0:06:55 – 0:06:59
They are super happy with it and do everything they want to do with it.
|
|
|
0:06:59 – 0:07:05
The Intel Mac just got hot.
|
|
|
0:07:05 – 0:07:11
So hot that you could no longer touch the case of a laptop.
|
|
|
0:07:11 – 0:07:16
I also have a laptop.
|
|
|
0:07:16 – 0:07:19
It's getting warm, that's right.
|
|
|
0:07:19 – 0:07:23
It's not even such a powerful machine.
|
|
|
0:07:23 – 0:07:31
And I really only bet on a basic machine,
|
|
|
0:07:31 – 0:07:34
a better typewriter with screen,
|
|
|
0:07:34 – 0:07:37
'Cause I'm just doing this for the internet
|
|
|
0:07:37 – 0:07:42
Or use it for a bit of streaming.
|
|
|
0:07:42 – 0:07:46
Or, if necessary, take a picture on the go.
|
|
|
0:07:46 – 0:07:56
And not here to cut, who knows, what high-quality productions and films, etc.
|
|
|
0:07:56 – 0:08:01
I could do the same with it, but the export will take an eternity.
|
|
|
0:08:01 – 0:08:04
Because there is no graphic unit in it, a reasonable one.
|
|
|
0:08:04 – 0:08:09
And nowadays you reckon such things on the graphics card,
|
|
|
0:08:09 – 0:08:16
because the many small computing units have and they all work in parallel and then it goes faster.
|
|
|
0:08:16 – 0:08:20
For example, I also calculate the transcript for this podcast on the graphics card,
|
|
|
0:08:20 – 0:08:29
because if I do this on the CPU, then all 32 cores that my computer has are occupied.
|
|
|
0:08:29 – 0:08:36
The thing runs on full tours and that's really loud then, because all blowers run full tours.
|
|
|
0:08:36 – 0:08:42
And it takes three times as long to calculate the same stuff on the graphics card.
|
|
|
0:08:42 – 0:08:49
And that's also the secret with the new Macintosh, which have a different processor architecture.
|
|
|
0:08:49 – 0:08:53
Hold many units that do simple tasks,
|
|
|
0:08:53 – 0:08:58
compared to fewer units that solve complex tasks.
|
|
|
0:08:58 – 0:09:02
And then this parallel data processing is simply an advantage.
|
|
|
0:09:02 – 0:09:10
Uh, the good poor architecture versus the ZIS or RISC architecture.
|
|
|
0:09:10 – 0:09:20
I mean, honestly, for me, a computer has always been a tool.
|
|
|
0:09:20 – 0:09:25
I buy Windows, as I said, for cost reasons.
|
|
|
0:09:25 – 0:09:37
Windows machines, i.e. x86 or x, are cheaper than Macintosh, like Macs.
|
|
|
0:09:37 – 0:09:46
Because in addition to the hardware, you pay for all the marketing and the name and who knows what else.
|
|
|
0:09:46 – 0:09:51
I do this with the hardware I buy, in individual components.
|
|
|
0:09:51 – 0:09:53
I then screw the computer together myself.
|
|
|
0:09:53 – 0:09:57
I don't do it because I can choose it.
|
|
|
0:09:57 – 0:10:02
Yeah, you could, you could, you could, right?
|
|
|
0:10:02 – 0:10:13
I'm real to get back to the basic question,
|
|
|
0:10:13 – 0:10:18
Why the podcast world from the podcasts I listen to
|
|
|
0:10:18 – 0:10:21
I don't want to say that this is the case with everyone.
|
|
|
0:10:21 – 0:10:26
Apple is in love.
|
|
|
0:10:26 – 0:10:28
And every time Apple releases a new product,
|
|
|
0:10:28 – 0:10:36
There's always something in Tim Britlove's podcasts.
|
|
|
0:10:36 – 0:10:40
It's all about these products, especially in the freak show.
|
|
|
0:10:40 – 0:10:48
Or with other people, with bit noise, with audio dump.
|
|
|
0:10:48 – 0:10:52
I mean, well, they're all kind of in the bubble,
|
|
|
0:10:52 – 0:10:59
Tim Britlove and the ultrasonic extension for Reaper
|
|
|
0:10:59 – 0:11:09
or the Studio Link plugin for Reaper or the software,
|
|
|
0:11:09 – 0:11:13
to record long-distance calls in studio quality.
|
|
|
0:11:13 – 0:11:15
Studio Link is fantastic.
|
|
|
0:11:15 – 0:11:19
I've never seen anything that's free.
|
|
|
0:11:19 – 0:11:26
and thus provides a good quality for conversations over the Internet.
|
|
|
0:11:26 – 0:11:32
There's nothing I've seen so far for free.
|
|
|
0:11:32 – 0:11:36
with zoom and so on, has a shitty audio quality
|
|
|
0:11:36 – 0:11:39
Compared to what the thing provides.
|
|
|
0:11:39 – 0:11:42
In the end, it does not consume any more data.
|
|
|
0:11:42 – 0:11:46
So, you can even do that with a cell phone.
|
|
|
0:11:46 – 0:11:51
Yeah, that's one.
|
|
|
0:11:51 – 0:11:54
That would explain, for example,
|
|
|
0:11:54 – 0:11:57
Because they're all in a bubble,
|
|
|
0:11:57 – 0:12:01
There's a lot of bubbles, but they're all about Tim Britlove.
|
|
|
0:12:01 – 0:12:07
And he's also a big fan of Apple-branded computers.
|
|
|
0:12:07 – 0:12:09
But there are other things as well.
|
|
|
0:12:09 – 0:12:13
I always listen to people who have such a device,
|
|
|
0:12:13 – 0:12:17
How excited they are about how beautiful and simple everything is.
|
|
|
0:12:17 – 0:12:21
I've never had a big problem with Windows.
|
|
|
0:12:21 – 0:12:25
Of course it was broken.
|
|
|
0:12:25 – 0:12:29
Or as a beginner, I've shot it down many times.
|
|
|
0:12:29 – 0:12:32
And the more experience you get,
|
|
|
0:12:32 – 0:12:39
or later during training in the computer field
|
|
|
0:12:39 – 0:12:45
or other professional qualifications,
|
|
|
0:12:45 – 0:12:48
During your studies and so on,
|
|
|
0:12:48 – 0:12:51
then you get deeper into the matter
|
|
|
0:12:51 – 0:12:54
And then you just get to know it better and better.
|
|
|
0:12:54 – 0:12:59
And I've had the last time, even though I didn't have a network cable
|
|
|
0:12:59 – 0:13:05
and the drivers for the WLAN unit of the laptop were missing,
|
|
|
0:13:05 – 0:13:07
I knew exactly what to do,
|
|
|
0:13:07 – 0:13:11
to get the computer up and running.
|
|
|
0:13:11 – 0:13:14
And that doesn't mean I have all the drivers.
|
|
|
0:13:14 – 0:13:21
I found it on my big PC, downloaded it on a USB stick.
|
|
|
0:13:21 – 0:13:23
No, I knew what to do,
|
|
|
0:13:23 – 0:13:29
to establish a network connection.
|
|
|
0:13:29 – 0:13:31
'Cause I had all the stuff here
|
|
|
0:13:31 – 0:13:35
I also knew it was called Glass-Compiled.
|
|
|
0:13:35 – 0:13:38
So much, you don't need to install any drivers for
|
|
|
0:13:38 – 0:13:41
Because they are delivered.
|
|
|
0:13:41 – 0:13:45
And then it doesn't matter if I have a 10-megabit connection now,
|
|
|
0:13:45 – 0:13:49
A 100-megabit or 1-gigabit connection.
|
|
|
0:13:49 – 0:13:51
Main thing, I get the drivers installed
|
|
|
0:13:51 – 0:13:56
and can then go to the Wi-Fi and then be unattached to the cable.
|
|
|
0:13:56 – 0:13:59
I mean, that's why you buy a laptop, right?
|
|
|
0:13:59 – 0:14:03
Then you have just quickly in the kitchen, in the living room,
|
|
|
0:14:03 – 0:14:07
In the end, even on the toilet, where you can work in things.
|
|
|
0:14:07 – 0:14:11
Or in the hospital.
|
|
|
0:14:11 – 0:14:14
You shouldn't do this while driving.
|
|
|
0:14:14 – 0:14:19
But some people can do that, I've never been able to do it.
|
|
|
0:14:19 – 0:14:25
These are the things.
|
|
|
0:14:25 – 0:14:28
I never really had any problems.
|
|
|
0:14:28 – 0:14:32
Either hardware was broken or I somehow shot down software.
|
|
|
0:14:32 – 0:14:38
If you don't have a backup, it's your own fault.
|
|
|
0:14:38 – 0:14:42
That's what I'm saying now.
|
|
|
0:14:42 – 0:14:46
I used to do everything I could with people to get the data back.
|
|
|
0:14:46 – 0:14:53
Because usually only the operating system is broken and not the data.
|
|
|
0:14:53 – 0:14:58
I mean, unless the storage medium itself breaks.
|
|
|
0:14:58 – 0:15:03
And so backup software solutions do not cost the world.
|
|
|
0:15:03 – 0:15:08
Experience with other operating systems.
|
|
|
0:15:08 – 0:15:11
Of course, I did. Linux, DOS.
|
|
|
0:15:11 – 0:15:14
I mean, who needs DOS today?
|
|
|
0:15:14 – 0:15:16
Noble gamblers only.
|
|
|
0:15:16 – 0:15:23
Or is it some application that is so important for those who
|
|
|
0:15:23 – 0:15:28
But there are no alternatives to using DOS.
|
|
|
0:15:28 – 0:15:33
Otherwise, of course, all the ancient things.
|
|
|
0:15:33 – 0:15:40
Operating system on the C64, on the Schneider, CPC.
|
|
|
0:15:40 – 0:15:45
All so retro clothes, 8-bit time.
|
|
|
0:15:45 – 0:15:48
Yeah, that's where I know myself.
|
|
|
0:15:48 – 0:15:53
I also learned programming as a teenager or as a child.
|
|
|
0:15:53 – 0:15:55
My parents also supported me well.
|
|
|
0:15:55 – 0:15:59
I mean, they were glad that the Legistist was starting to read books,
|
|
|
0:15:59 – 0:16:07
so that I acquire the knowledge to write programs.
|
|
|
0:16:07 – 0:16:15
What remains to be said, except that I just can't understand it.
|
|
|
0:16:15 – 0:16:18
I don't understand that enthusiasm either.
|
|
|
0:16:18 – 0:16:21
Neither the design, I mean, I hear it over and over again,
|
|
|
0:16:21 – 0:16:25
neither the design of some devices pleases the people,
|
|
|
0:16:25 – 0:16:28
People still like the pricing policy,
|
|
|
0:16:28 – 0:16:31
But they keep buying these things.
|
|
|
0:16:31 – 0:16:36
Be it the smartwatches, be it the phones, the computers,
|
|
|
0:16:36 – 0:16:41
It doesn't matter if it's a laptop or a desktop device.
|
|
|
0:16:41 – 0:16:45
They always have something to complain about.
|
|
|
0:16:45 – 0:16:48
Who doesn't remember the legendary cheese grater?
|
|
|
0:16:48 – 0:16:56
So here's the Max Pro with this weird hole grid,
|
|
|
0:16:56 – 0:17:03
milled part, front bevels, which actually looked like a cheese grater,
|
|
|
0:17:03 – 0:17:06
Not even a lot of imagination, but you've seen it and then,
|
|
|
0:17:06 – 0:17:12
Yes, it could be a cheese grater.
|
|
|
0:17:12 – 0:17:15
I hear again and again that people get upset,
|
|
|
0:17:15 – 0:17:21
or with the hardware policy that you can't take every graphics card,
|
|
|
0:17:21 – 0:17:23
Or is it different now?
|
|
|
0:17:23 – 0:17:29
Or is it the Max Pro that you can only do it?
|
|
|
0:17:29 – 0:17:32
I don't know, because this is a world that is,
|
|
|
0:17:32 – 0:17:35
when I assemble a machine that has the same performance
|
|
|
0:17:35 – 0:17:39
and the same specification as my computer,
|
|
|
0:17:39 – 0:17:45
then I'm at triple to quadruple of what I paid for it
|
|
|
0:17:45 – 0:17:48
And I have nothing special.
|
|
|
0:17:48 – 0:17:55
So why is, I have to say it that way again,
|
|
|
0:17:55 – 0:17:59
On a podcast, I hear Apple is such a huge topic?
|
|
|
0:17:59 – 0:18:02
And these are other people too.
|
|
|
0:18:02 – 0:18:09
The Sascha Palmer only swears by Apple and is very big there.
|
|
|
0:18:09 – 0:18:14
And when you think about what the new spectacle thing will cost you,
|
|
|
0:18:14 – 0:18:19
Compared to what it costs in Meta.
|
|
|
0:18:19 – 0:18:26
And you've only seen a few people at Apple's last event,
|
|
|
0:18:26 – 0:18:31
They had this thing because it's just so fucking expensive.
|
|
|
0:18:31 – 0:18:39
Yes, if it's going to be a flop like 3D TV,
|
|
|
0:18:39 – 0:18:41
You don't know.
|
|
|
0:18:41 – 0:18:44
But I've now made an episode where I would have thought,
|
|
|
0:18:44 – 0:18:51
Boah, I can now argue grandiosely and so and stammer there in front of me.
|
|
|
0:18:51 – 0:18:54
It was actually a diversion in the truest sense.
|
|
|
0:18:54 – 0:19:01
And when I listen to this, I'm sorry for the lost 20 minutes of life,
|
|
|
0:19:01 – 0:19:05
which, I think, would have been more precious,
|
|
|
0:19:05 – 0:19:09
When I listen to this masterpiece of digression.
|
|
|
0:19:09 – 0:19:16
Thank you for listening and I'm glad you're listening to another podcast from me.
|
|
|
0:19:16 – 0:19:23
You are welcome to comment, like, what your platform, where you hear it, so give.
|
|
|
0:19:23 – 0:19:26
Interaction is always good.
|
|
|
0:19:26 – 0:19:30
Please refer to the rehearsal podcast.
|
|
|
0:19:30 – 0:19:36
Since just look for rehearsal podcast, rehearsal and podcast.
|
|
|
0:19:36 – 0:19:41
It's all about music production from a hobbyist's point of view.
|
|
|
0:19:41 – 0:19:47
And I'm happy to see you next time you're in the diversion.
|
|
|
0:19:47 – 0:19:54
Where I occasionally, oh, I almost always, actually always deviate from the topic.
|
|
|
0:19:54 – 0:19:57
Goodbye, Sasha.
|
|
|
0:19:57 – 0:20:12

Description:
In this episode of ‘The Digression’, Sascha takes us on a journey through the world of technology and personal preferences. Why are so many podcasters avid Apple users? Sascha shares his observations and experiences as a long-time Windows user and gives insights into the advantages and disadvantages of Apple, Windows and Linux.
He discusses the dominance of Apple products in the podcast scene and wonders whether this preference is due to the origins of the podcast on the iPod. Sascha also talks about the cost and practicality of Apple products, explains the concept of Hackintosh and shares his thoughts on the availability of software on different operating systems.
In addition, the episode offers a comparison between the new Macs with M1 and M2 processors and traditional Windows machines, and Sascha talks about his own experiences with network and driver problems. A nostalgic retrospective of retro-computing and programming rounds off the episode.
If you've ever wondered why so many podcasters swear by Apple or just want to get a deep insight into the world of technology and operating systems, then this episode is for you!
