00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,700
Welcome to Top 5 Tech, my weekly show of what to watch, read, listen, download, and something

2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:05,900
deep every week.

3
00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:08,619
This week we've got an in-depth look at the Ferrari Luce.

4
00:00:08,619 --> 00:00:13,060
It's Ferrari's first all-electric car and MKBHD had an in-depth video going through

5
00:00:13,060 --> 00:00:14,060
the entire interior.

6
00:00:14,060 --> 00:00:18,059
He couldn't show it driving yet, that's going to be coming in a second video on his autofocus

7
00:00:18,059 --> 00:00:22,460
channel, but the story here was Johnny Ive and his company LoveFrom is responsible for

8
00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:24,079
the design of this car.

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,879
Now if you're a Ferrari head, it looks very different from a Ferrari, but if you want

10
00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:57,880
what it looks like when Johnny Ive designs a car, it is

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,719
never in my life wanted a Ferrari, but the interior of this car is pretty sweet. The

12
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:40,399
air conditioning vents are wild, physical controls on top of digital displays and controls.

13
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:44,240
It also has carplay. Pretty wild. I'll link that video below. Oh, and a little bonus video

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,239
pic. I saw Gruber talk about the word okay in an article and I wanted to link back to

15
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:52,320
this video. It's seven years old from Vox Media, but it's about the etymology of just

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,200
okay. The thing we probably all say multiple times a day and don't even think about it

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,879
and where it comes from. So I'll link that below, too. I want to listen to Neela Patel.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,519
Neela Patel has been interviewing Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, for the last several years.

19
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:07,719
And there was a great interview released earlier this week talking about Google's approach

20
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:12,079
to AI and all the AI things, where Sundar Pichai thinks it's going, and is Google search

21
00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:16,840
going to stop sending traffic to actual websites? That's a great listen. And I was also a special

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,760
guest on the Focus podcast with David Sparks and Mike Schmitz. And we got really deep.

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,879
We talked about generalists. I even shout out like all the books I've read in the last

24
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:28,120
seven years and how it's really shaped my thinking. So that episode will be coming out

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,120
and I'll link it below.

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,760
I'm going to give you a how rather than a what, which is a new RSS reader.

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,959
This is Amethyst.

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,299
It's free to download on Mac and iPhone.

29
00:01:37,299 --> 00:01:39,359
There's also an iPad and Apple Vision Pro app.

30
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:40,359
It is totally free.

31
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:41,640
There's no in-app purchases.

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,640
There's nothing to buy.

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,640
And it's pretty nice.

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,599
I'm testing Amethyst and I'm also testing the Readwise service because that is also

35
00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:50,480
an RSS reader and read it later service.

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,319
So I'm in experimenting phase right now.

37
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,840
I've used Reader Classic for a long time with my RSS feeds, but it's easy to export the

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:00,000
OPML file, import all your feeds into Amethyst, and try this one out.

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,799
And since that's more of a download than a read, I'll give you a bonus download, which is a shortcut.

40
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:09,300
I shared in my Shortcuts community a shortcut for keeping track of stock and inventory,

41
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,599
whether that's what's in your deep freezer, what's in your office supplies.

42
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,900
And this shortcut, when you run it, actually lets you view the inventory,

43
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:20,199
and it's actually hacking a reminders list to keep track of those items and even update quantity.

44
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:22,900
You can add or remove quantity or new items.

45
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:26,500
I did a little short video explaining how to use it as well, so I'll link that all below.

46
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,400
And finally on Something Deep, this is going to seem frivolous at first,

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
my son actually shared with me a meme he came across, which is Bob Ross painting,

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,699
but the music behind him is Mozart's Lacrimosa, one of my favorite classical works.

49
00:02:39,699 --> 00:02:43,099
And instead of whatever he's painting, they've overlaid a Fortnite clip,

50
00:02:43,099 --> 00:02:46,099
where Spider-Man is in the Fortnite clip,

51
00:02:46,099 --> 00:02:52,800
and it's remixed to his brushstrokes actually changing the Fortnite gameplay on his easel.

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,599
This sounds insane, and yes it is.

53
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:59,400
You should just watch this 40-second video because it's hilarious, but I also find this incredible.

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,300
The thing that the current generation is the best at, it's remixing all the things.

55
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:08,000
Now I love classical music, I literally have a music degree,

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,699
and you might think, well this is disrespecting classical music and Bob Ross and all of that,

57
00:03:12,699 --> 00:03:16,599
but honestly I almost feel like this kind of remixing that current culture is doing,

58
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:19,199
the meme culture on TikTok and Instagram Reels,

59
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:23,699
actually is kind of a brand new way that a new generation can experience these things.

60
00:03:23,699 --> 00:03:27,599
You're only hearing the first few seconds of the Lacrimosa movement of Mozart's Requiem,

61
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:30,319
But it's there and it still exists today in.

62
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:37,199
And it's a mashup of Spider-Man inside Fortnite painted by Bob Ross with Mozart in the background.

63
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:42,240
It just kind of blew my mind the creativity and remix ability of the current generation.

64
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,520
And I think we can all agree Mozart had no idea how his work would be used hundreds of years later.

65
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,439
So those are my top five things this week.
