8:10 the like button didnt light up,

Enrico: Just double tap and drag, you can zoom in me: WHAT???? Enrico: The first time I've learnt this I was like: I'm sorry, what?? me: EXACTLY

3:22 Many people get this wrong. There are 2 content-agnostic algorithms for iterating randomly: - shuffle: randomly-permute a list, then start iterating from the beginning. - pick: randomly selects the next item. The sequence at 3:23 can *NEVER* be the result of a shuffle, unless it's the only item in the playlist, and you force the app to continue "shuffling" after the playlist is exhausted. Rand-Pick doesn't care if it repeats a previous item or even the current item itself, so either sequence is possible under rand-pick. Spotify and other apps use a non-agnostic form of shuffling, which is what makes them feel more unique

This combines everything I love: Tech, Design, Fun Facts, and a few life hacks. Peak content.

This might be irrational but when YTbers flash text on screen matching what they're saying randomly, while at the same time not having subtitles makes me a bit mad honestly. Hard-of-hearing people need subtitles and instead you spend time editing the flashy text. Imagine being deaf watching this, you get random slices of information without being able to access it. It's almost like teasing.

The typewriter keyboard reason for QWERTY mentioned is actually a common myth and isn't true. There were many different keyboard layouts at the time and QWERTY just caught on the most.

Reminds me of the old days, when we had that little LED light on our gameboys and couldn't tell when the battery will suddenly be fully drained and you loose your progress in Pokemon Red Edition

Not sure why we are throwing shuffle and random on the same pile. They should give both options, a true random and a shuffle

the searching for colors in youtube thumbnails is useful if you watched a video and want to find it again, but you forgot the name and only remember the thumbnail and the video itself.

I have a playlist of 200 songs in Spotify, I have 7 songs from one band I really like. Shuffle will GUARANTEE that at least 5 of these 7 songs are stuck together (or have like one song between) no matter how many times I shuffle. How people can prefer this over "actual" random, I don't understand.

enrico never realized he can actually remove i am an island boy from his playlist

With the Google maps example. It's a matter of of fact that 99% of people who unbox their brand new old gadgets do not follow the tips and tutorials. When you keep these tips and tutorials on in the background. They literally teach you how to use every "hidden feature for each app and use case scenario" like "one handed use cases". That's why we have tons of utubers making bank with videos such as: "here are 1000 things you didn't know about your brand new old devices videos" etc etc.

13:25 Nice Tom Scott reference but he also made a followup where he admitted that that study was unable to be repeated

Talking about the keyboard... Did you know that in France, we don't have the QWERTY layout but have the AZERTY layout instead ?

Dude, the sound effects you use in your videos are oddly satisfying lol I’m too lazy to find the time stamp, but that shutter sound after you talked about a “squircle” activated the ASMR side of my brain 😂

12:05 "Insert" does stuff (at least on windows and linux): switch between replace characters and insert characters mode in text editors some file managers (far manager, midnight commander, double commander, total commander) mark selected file and move selection down

i like how you didn't give an answer to the battery percentage display. so now we will all walk around thinking it is some random number generator such that when it hit 0 it will kill your phone.

The insert key is extremely useful as it can also be used as an alternate shortcut for pasting (Shift-Insert) which on Windows is super useful if you are in a terminal session where CTRL-V would not paste.

I really expected this to be another over edited mr beast style of exhausting video, but props to you for keeping the retention hacks and jump cuts to a minumum.

I like how I can shoot a photo using double-power button for starting the camera and then volume for shooting. Really helpful in winter to not take off gloves. And comes quite naturally. I guess the volume buttons could be hinted to be used for zoom while driving/navigating.

About text navigation and pressing arrow up/down: Reality is that from programming standpoint, ALL of text are just arrays of characters. So, a word "Hello" is just an array of letters "H", "e", "l", "l", and "o" in an array, they are placed under the order of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. (so character "H" is 0, character "e" is 1, etc). if you have multiple lines of text, these lines are also just multiple arrays of characters. So in other words - every paragraph of text is just a big list of characters. You can get the position of where your cursor (the position where you insert a new character at) is located within the array of characters. For example, let's say we have the two lines of text: ``` I did not hit her! I did not. Oh hi Mark! ``` let's say our cursor is located right before the capital "M" in the word "Mark" on the second line. This means our cursor position is 5 (counting spaces, those are also characters). Then, if a user presses arrow key we could theoretically just move the cursor to the 5th character on the previous line (we can determine the end of a line by a break symbol that isn't visible for end-users)... But reality isn't like this too! If we do exactly that we should end up right before the lowercase "n" in the word "not", but we somehow end up right after it?. It's actually a lot more complicated than that, but to be entirely honest it's not really font dependent either! This stuff is interesting, i recommend reading about it :)

3:52 seems like the draw with shuffle isn't "randomness" as much as it is "variety" in that case

This made me want something that’s the opposite of smart shuffle - a shuffle function that actually prefers similar songs to be played one after the other to prevent mood swings.

It's funny how Nokia of all companies was the first to use squircles throughout the entire UI design. Poor Meego.

I literally had the Google Maps zooming problem today, THANK YOU for showing that. Now we just need a gesture for one-handed rotation

Interesting video, thanks for sharing! The subscribe/like button highlight didn't work for me, maybe it takes some time to process it!

5:00 Actually, I love having this information; thank you!

I think about these things so often, especially the text editing(in Xcode) and battery ones

in a lot of google apps can you double tab and slide to zoom and zoom out, google photos does also support it

My phone is exactly on 69% when I clicked the thumb nail lol

Same thing when it comes to the loading bar and the Time shown until completion! I feel like it’s just a psychological trick kind of like hitting the closed door button on elevator doesn’t do anything!

This video is a masterpiece, I love your editing style, and how you explain things so clearly, keep up the good work!

Man I love your videos google map zoom technique was something I just learned today... and I don't know what to think of it haha

wow what a video, it's rear to see such well researched & actually informative video on youtube, keep it up bro.

0:15 lol the Pulp Fiction scene

the map double tap to zoom... yeah... learned that from Pokemon go, still didn't realize it was a universal thing, i thought it only worked in pokemon go...

I found the out about the double tap like a few days ago actually but this was still really insightful nontheless

Dude, what camera are you using. The video is pristine in quality 👏🏼

Clever video; I didn't even realize you switched topics

WOW! I never knew about that doubla-tap-hold-and-drag to zoom in/out at Google Maps 😯

You can use ^L to select the URL bar

Double tap to zoom has been a thing for at least 10 years. First time I found out was in Pokémon Go back in 2016 (so 8 years ago) when I was spamming the screen to rotate the view and accidentally started zooming. But seeing that's 8 years ago now I'm surprised more people don't know about it. It's also not limited to just maps, but rather a thing for all apps which have a proper zoom feature, both android and apple.

*insert Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme Tool- Lateralus

11:42 if GPT-4 runs on server and not locally, can ai knowing what is on computer leak passwords or other private stuff?

Big plus for the TOOL in the Spotify App :)

This ad integration was so smooth and well placed. Nice planning!

Lol the glowing subscribe button even works on my 'dumb' phone!

Calling the insert key a relic from the past... yeah, seems to be a somewhat common opinion, considering my Laptop doesn't have one. I've changed the delete key for an insert key in software. Now I'm out the delete key, which I normally do use, but insert is more important to me. Shift-Insert is used in a Linux terminal to paste from the primary selection. (i.e. what you have highlighted) It's more useful to me than deleting to the right of the cursor, though I do miss it. What surprised me more was that the menu key didn't get a mention. I guess it's so rarely used, people don't even remember its existence. I've swapped mine out for a compose key.

7:21 Still hard to do if you are driving a bike. Could be just + - buttons, like in other map apps.

i figured out the shuffle button on youtube was garbo. from a large playlist, it selects a group of like 8-10 songs (or perhaps an approximate amount of time) to play through "at random" but then it loops back through them after like 30 ish minutes lol slightly frustrating, i have a whole playlist of 80+ songs and you choose 8-10 to loop through... gee, thanks. clicking on a different video in the playlist causes it to change the whole set. usually.

The alphabetical keyboard layout is a pain to use especially when you're not using it with a keyboard and you have to select things on a screen, printer 10 foot interface Apple TV Roku Amazon fire stick etc. as much as the QWERTY keyboard layout was designed to prevent jammed typewriters it has and probably will be here for a long while as it works fairly well and a lot of people are used to it. There's a handful of videos of people trying different layouts and I can't remember which one it was that came to the conclusion that there's not a large difference between it and a optimized layout because an optimized layout will vary based on what is being typed. There's even an interesting story around the Chinese adoption of the computer and US keyboard and attempts to create their own well avoiding and not avoiding killing off their language.

7:22 Actually, apple maps do allow for double tap gesture, just not as effective as Google though

Great video! @enricotartarotti, what font face are you using for the text in this video? Thanks!

Are we going to get TV's and Monitors with rounded screens and bezels?

Me as a linux user using command line daily and using the keyboared to update,install apps,and drivers and enjoying it

The tap and hold to zoom is also present in Google Drive PDF Viewer.

Thank you! I immediatly downloaded Raycast

I remember my old LG phone showed battery charge wrong: when it's 90-100% it discharged slowly, but after that it went down the hill. Because of that i could see 50% go to 0 in a few minutes. Always wondered, why did this happen. Now i know the answer, thanks!

I don't wanna listen to it even once

The explanation for qwerty that it was designed to reduce type bar clashing is dubious at best. If it was designed as such, they did a poor job, and yet made a surprisingly good job of making a good enough typing-at-speed layout. Not the best, sure. Good enough? Yes.

i did not plan to watch this entire vid, but the thumbnail made me curious. well done mate, i really am stunned by this info. i don't normally sub to tech channels, but ya got me..

I'd argue that the one-handed zoom function in maps is dumb. JUST MAKE A ZOOM BUTTON

Me trying to make sense of the voltage sensor readings on FTC driver station and try to calculate if we can make it through the next game be like:

I would absolutely switch to a faster keyboard layout... if I was able to switch the keyboard on every single device I own. Desktop keyboards and smartphone keyboards might be easy to switch, but I've never seen a tablet or laptop keyboard that isn't in QWERTY format.

Well, the shuffle button works like if you shuffled a stack of discs

I love that you are a fan of John Mayer. I saw a few references in this video.

"5:45 pull to refresh is just so natural" - not for jerry rig everything - he complained about it when he "tried" iPhone, even though it's the same on Android.

15:32 Finally, text without the blue and orange stuff around it

Wow got this video in my feed and it's soo pretty to watch

13:50 Also only now I noticed that Bouba may seem weak while Kiki seems strong/useful. That might explain my distaste for soft corner interfaces.

2:00 monospaced font moment

Lol the battery percentage on the thumbnail is the exact same as the one on my phone rn 😂

spotify shuffle still sucks even when not "random" i would honestly prefer the comfort of knowing it's truly random rather than have whatever spotify's algo is

for chrome users: ctrl + t to open tab ctrl + w to close tab ctrl + n to open new window ctrl + shift + t to open last tab which you closed ctrl + shift + n to open incognito window there are many more useful ones, but PLEASE START USING THESE And another very nice one, middle click a link to open in a new tab I swear, if you have a mouse and you RIGHT CLICK A LINK AND THEN CLICK OPEN IN NEW TAB, IT PAINS ME anyway good luck

KZfaq when my parents walk in: 13:27

4:15 jokes on you, I have an iPhone SE 3rd Gen!

10:04 I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "complex commands we have to remember", nowadays (since decades ago) is just tab-key, `--help`, and `man`. Copypastas aside, CLI apps still have their use. I believe GUIs and TUIs have different purposes according to their pros and cons. A camera app must be GUI, but a calculator works better as a CLI/TUI, just to give an example

*Maury:* When asked what was the battery level, you said 69%. The lie detector determined that was a lie.

at least the battery charge reported by the linux kernel isn't wrong and it's open source too

what is the most effeicient and comfortable layout to type in lmao

for some reason only the subscribe button glowed and only once 😂

Actually the QWERTY keyboard is just a modified alphabetical keyboard

Your videos are always extremely interesting and edited well.

What can I do to prevent me from listening to Island boy ONCE ? I feel im at risk of serious exposure that I may not be able to cope mentally ,

I still wanna learn how they estimate the battery percentage

Batteries are one of the most important components of our tech and the most understated. Yes, we say the most important is the CPU or the GPU... those are important and have a lot of development, but those don't work without electrical current... so are useless. Li-ion is the battery of our tech... but they have 2 problems: 1) They heat when you are using them, and they could burn themselves when you are using your tech (so all our tech products have circuits to prevent that) 2) Have a limited lifespan, around 500 cycles, which seems a lot. But our cell phones use all the change in a day, so if the phone is at 40% or 20%, we charge at night to have a full charge in the morning. So if our phones use all the charge every day, 500 cycles will be over in 2 years. So in 2 years, you will change your battery or your cellphone. I have enough knowledge of batteries to know how they take voltage and temperature measurements; if I did that every day, I would know how they are; that takes time, dedication, and a Ph.D. But the computational power of our cell phones is higher than our computers of 20 years ago... So on the iPhones ( I don't know other companies), Apple spends a lot of information on the actual usage of your battery, the temperature, the brand, and the data of thousands of users to correct the battery charge in your screen... It is not a guess; it is an algorithm with a lot of variables to give only 2 numbers (the charge and the number of cycles of your battery) to give you the right to decide: a) I will still be with my phone b) I will change the battery c) I will change the phone... but not only that, thousands of users give a lot of data, so the iPhones also know the Amperage that they use every moment and connect or deactivate circuits to increase the life of your battery. But the primordial function of those that don't communicate changes is the usefulness of your cellphone to you. So after years of usage of it if you think that your iPhone was a good value, you will buy another one of the same brand. Android phones use open software, so if you want to use that feature, you will share it with all the companies, and they improve its value for the money you spend developing that system. This is an advantage for the user but not for the company. Also, if you don't want to include those sensors, that feature is no longer appropriate for you, so big companies like Samsung pay for personalized Android versions.

did this man really wake up and say: "these are not rounded squares, they are sqircles"

I don't know how Spotify does shuffle but it doesn't work well and I don't know if Apple changed how shuffle worked on the iPod shuffle. But the shuffle functionality built into iTunes version 10 and below is crazy and I wish (I think) I knew how they did it. I know it's probably pseudo random but not only is it picking songs randomly it's picking good songs that go together and in some cases fit my mood which is scary. Of course I also have 10+ days worth of music.

its like vsauce but tech version. i really like it

The finger gesture for google map doesn't miss an affordance. The double tap motion IS the affordance. This affordance is missing a trigger.

Wow! This was so neat, as a designer and maker I was hoping someone would make a video about this 😂❤

3:22 THE DANCE OF ETERNITY MENTIONED ‼‼‼‼

That's a bit too much van Zesen ;)

15:20 yeah boi BOOM that pc

4:28 the apple accessory design guidelines show the iphone display as a radius, only the body of the phone is a squircle

I beg to differ pull to refresh is really annoying when you're trying to go up to the top of page and then all of a sudden it reloads wiping out what you've had typed in. Or you go back to see some thing and it was at the top and now you just lost what you were looking at.

I actually really hate the Spotify shuffle. It spaces similar songs apart resulting in me roughly knowing what's next in small playlists. Which is the opposite of what a shuffle should do.

The fact that the QWERTY layout was designed to avoid typewriter jamming is not 100% accurate. Here is a nice video that also quickly shows QWERTY layout evolution: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z55omcyhq5PNZX0.html

Onesto, sei uno dei pochi YT made in italy che ha un accento inglese digeribile, ma impara a non mangiarti le parole. A volte non si capisce nulla perché comunque hai quest'inflessione veramente (personalmente) aggressiva e da saputello. Sembra che mi stai costantemente cercando di vendere qualcosa, ma suoni come un venditore indiano di kebab che pensa di parlare un italiano fluentissimo e perfetto solo perché ogni tanto urla, fa il simpatico, e va talmente veloce che finisce per sbiasciare. Case in point: 9:49. Good luck and keep up the good content.
