Hi, this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Apple Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Apple bias. Today is Sunday, November 15, 2020, and this is show number 810.
CCATP #660 – Lory Gil on M1 Macs
It wouldn’t be an Apple announcement week without Lory Gil joining us, managing editor of iMore. We start the conversation by talking about what all of the new M1 Macs have in common, which is much more than we’re used to seeing. Then we talk about what System on a Chip (SoC) actually means and why it’s so important to us. There is a very subtle, but possibly important difference between the 256GB and 512GB storage models of the MacBook Air, which makes it even more interesting to decide between the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro that were just announced. We explore why Apple never said the word “gigahertz” and how that makes the nerds crazy because we can’t compare the models to the previous Intel-based Macs. We explore the future just a bit and start dreaming of the next models Apple will release.

In a Few Minutes with Ken Ray
This week I also had the great pleasure of being a guest on Ken Ray’s “In a Few Minutes” podcast to talk about the “One More Thing” event. As he described it “Topics include a lack of terminology, whether now is the time to buy, and drinking. Mostly its technology talk.” We had a lot of fun so go subscribe in your podcatcher of choice to “In a Few Minutes” and give a listen. And in the category of “one more thing”, if you want to find out what “Studio-quality microphones” in the 16″ MacBook Pro sounds like, listen closely to me on Ken’s show. I had the wrong input to Skype and he didn’t even notice! It’s not by big-girl mic but you know what? It’s not awful either!

Support the Show
I talk often about how much I appreciate the people who help financially to support the podcasts through Patreon and PayPal and I have to say that I am equally as grateful to people like Terry who support the show by doing listener reviews. I love doing the podcast and I love writing and I love testing out new products. But I also love free time to take long walks and wash my car and program. What Terry and all of the other wonderful contributors give me is time and the peace of mind that the listeners will have interesting content even though I didn’t have to do all of the work. So thank you to all of those who have contributed and if you’ve been trying to get your nerve up to try yourself, please do it!
