[0.00 --> 7.86] Well, I know this isn't the Apple Today podcast, but we've got to acknowledge that there was an event this week which has put a big hole in my wallet. |
[8.40 --> 9.74] Oh, did it? |
[10.04 --> 16.68] Yeah, this is one of those tech events that sucked all the air out of the tech room for the entire week that we're recording. |
[16.82 --> 17.76] There's just no way around it. |
[17.84 --> 20.42] So you get a big boy, you get one of them Max Max. |
[20.60 --> 28.64] I actually felt really sorry for Google, just to digress for a second, because they held their Pixel event the day after Apple announced all these MacBooks. |
[28.64 --> 29.08] Yeah. |
[29.08 --> 33.94] And you could just tell all the tech press were like, yeah, we've already heard all about this Pixel thing. |
[34.40 --> 36.58] MacBook, MacBook, MacBook, let's just cover the MacBook. |
[36.92 --> 41.00] I know, and Google announced their Tensor SoC and it really didn't get much interest in it. |
[41.16 --> 41.64] Not at all. |
[41.76 --> 50.12] You know, like I told you after the event, like one of my first thoughts was like, oh man, you know, Alex, what I'm kind of excited about is the idea of one of these as a home server. |
[50.26 --> 51.56] I've been thinking of this more and more. |
[51.56 --> 56.38] You know, when a Mac mini is just sitting there not doing much, the processor's taking hardly any power. |
[56.66 --> 58.80] 12 watts is like an average load. |
[58.80 --> 59.88] Like that's incredible. |
[59.88 --> 67.06] And you could really see if they're building an H.264 accelerated encoding and decoding in these chips. |
[67.06 --> 70.74] And these things are low power and they have Thunderbolt expansion. |
[71.18 --> 73.16] And who knows if they'll make desktop models. |
[73.52 --> 75.92] I could see these being a pretty legitimate home server. |
[76.32 --> 77.20] Replacing Pies. |
[77.54 --> 77.74] Yeah. |
[77.88 --> 81.94] I was thinking the biggest problem with it would be connecting disks up to the damn thing. |
[82.04 --> 89.28] But if you have Thunderbolt, I suppose you could be baller and spend thousands of dollars on a Thunderbolt shelf and connect disks that way if you like. |
[89.28 --> 91.82] You know, I'd much prefer real expansion. |
[92.20 --> 92.36] Right. |
[92.44 --> 96.46] But in my, like for my situation, I'm doing USB storage. |
[97.16 --> 100.70] I never thought I would do USB storage in a million years. |
[100.84 --> 105.60] But here I am with the Raspberry Pi 4 and I have pooled USB storage. |
[105.68 --> 109.04] So Thunderbolt, external Thunderbolt would actually be an upgrade for me. |
[109.54 --> 111.38] I see you like to live dangerously. |
[111.46 --> 111.86] I do. |
[112.30 --> 115.76] You know, that's why I like to stay trained just in case I ever need a plan B. |
[115.76 --> 117.96] And you can too if you go to a cloudguru.com. |
[118.20 --> 120.18] Yes, this episode is brought to you by a cloud guru. |
[120.52 --> 124.22] The leader in learning for the cloud, Linux and other modern tech skills. |
[124.66 --> 127.24] Hundreds of courses and thousands of hands-on labs. |
[127.58 --> 128.06] Get certified. |
[128.34 --> 128.72] Get hired. |
[129.06 --> 131.32] Get learning at a cloudguru.com. |
[131.80 --> 135.58] A couple of months ago, I sold my 16-inch MacBook Pro. |
