Sorry for anyone saying that the audio sounds a little wonky. I forgot to uncheck a weird setting during the export and the audio suffered but we're working on fixing it thanks for understanding!

Siphoning electricity with your mouth is an amazing start to a tech podcast

The sound is an audio setting you can turn off, it's for you to be able to tell if you are shooting slow speed, high or turbo. Otherwise people would just focus the camera and suddenly they are out of space on a 2TB card because they were accidently shooting 120 on silent mode.

It's crazy how different it feels already without David considering it's how the podcast originally started 😂

The “whoops” button is my new favorite thing.

I love that the podcast recently transitioned to a more light-hearted but still very useful and informative one rather than staying serious. I remember, years back I didn't sub, because it was too serious, but these days the vibe is perfect

Surely Ellis gets swapped in as a main host at some point. The man is too funny to be on the sidelines

Actually, shooting 120FPS RAW photos is more difficult than video because a photo has WAY more data per frame than a video frame, and it is also generally a much higher resolution. Like it's 6K here. 14 bit 6K 120FPS is insanity

i was at the event for the a9iii. the shutter sound is electronic, you can just turn it off and its silent. Theres also this other feature called precapture, if you half press the shutter it can store up to one second before you press the shutter. someone on stage did a demo of taking shots of birds before flight and then taking off.

Love to see a straight up "I was wrong"! I was one of the people that commented about the GTR, delighted to see you take it in stride and I hope you get to experience driving one for yourself some day.

I'm pretty sure the noise the camera makes is coming from the cameras speakers to provide feedback, as normally you would hear the mechanical shutter when you take a photo

Props to Andrew for getting IT support from Marques. His rates are pretty high.

I have a couple hummingbird feeders during the summer and they “buzz” me sometimes when I’m sitting outside. Not like they’re going to attack, more like saying hello. It sounds very insectlike. They are also very territorial and if there are multiple hummingbirds around you can hear them chattering at each other.

Marques, I'd much rather tune in to hear you apologize for a fact about a car than something unbecoming of you, the Studio, or anything else. Your channels are the best tech and related culture content on KZfaq by a mile. Keep on keeping on.

Another Friday, another podcast🙌🏾 best part of my day ngl

A camera in the thumbnail with David being out, makes hope for a lot of hot camera takes.

Why does the audio sound weird, its like voices are getting picked from two microphones at the same time?

I drive a BMW I3 with range extender which works exactly like the ram truck. I actually love it, because 90% of my driving is all electric, but when I need the extra range, I can use the range extender which is a gas generator. But when I turn it on, there’s absolutely zero difference in how it drives.

Friday is always fun with waveform podcast

Great to see Marques back in the studio! Last week's episode was great but WVFRM just isn't the same without Marques 🎙️

YT made the skip button smaller by rounding the corners and lessening the pad between the word Skip and the edge of the button. Compared to their previous rectangular button.

My guess is that the noise from the Turbo boost button is just an audio cue so you know you are using it. (so you know you are using it vs the slower one and so you know how long you are on it, filling your storage up...) And probably has a setting to turn it off so when you are shooting hummingbirds you don't scare them off...

Marques trying to describe the sound that a HUMMING bird makes has me rolling 😂😂😂😂

Kudos to the guy for not being an EV bot and giving the most realistic answer about the zombie apocalypse question.

Adds by heart. Nice. Also ending was great. Nice progress.

Dang the number of sponsors is crazy. You guys definitely deserve it!

As a photographer... After literally DECADES of complaining about it with modern digital cameras. Now I TOTALLY get these guys are into video, so all their examples were video and motion related. But from a photography stand point it is a great innovation. The main problem for me is shooting high shutter speeds during bright sunlight with a flash setup. Usually you would have to resort to high speed sync setups and transmitters with that capability. But with this new global shutter setup now all that annoying stuff goes out the window. That means better power for the flash units since they don't have to strobe for the high shutter. And not only that.. You don't have to be locked down to brands anymore that can "play nice" with the camera to do that sort of high speed sync stuff. I don't usually get excited about camera stuff since it really has not changed much (to me personally) for a while. But this was super exciting to hear.

Not to grill the team on car stuff right after Marques got schooled on the GTR: The new Ramcharger is a "series hybrid", similar to the BMW i3 REX because the Gas engine is not mechanically coupled to the wheels. Similar to Hydrogen fuel cell cars, just the power comes from a gas engine instead. Despite what a lot of press at the time said, the Chevy volt (both gen 1 and 2, both of which i had) *could* mechanically send engine power to the wheels depending on what clutches were closed in the gearset. The Volt *could* operate in a series mode, where the Engine and one motor would act as a generator while the other drove the car. Love the car talk!

Does that audio sound a bit off today? Almost like a mix of too aggressive denoising / using a vocal doubler, especially on Marques voice. (Edit - If you EQ the audio in post, does it have a linear phase EQ mode? Otherwise you might be getting some strange phase cancelation issues especially in the low/mid - mid range.)

27:04 Nerd moment, here: "Rolling Shutter" is actually a TYPE of shutter, just like "global shutter" is. So, whereas the A9iii has a "global" shutter, something like the A1 (or pretty much everything else) has a "rolling" shutter. The term "rolling shutter", as it's used colloquially, has kind of become shorthand for the jello-ing or distorting EFFECT, even though the term actually refers to the kind of shutter it is. I'll show myself out, lol.

I think the sound from the a9 iii is piped in from the speakers. It’s most likely done for skeuomorphic reasons and auditory cues of actuation. The Nikon z9 also doesn’t have a shutter and has the sounds piped in through the speakers. Internally Nikon once replaced the shutter sound with a cat meow.

Good to have Marques back. Hope you could get through to Tim about finally adding face ID on the next macbooks. But, I don't see them adding it until at least 2025

Now we need the next episode to be only Marques and David to complete the trilogy

Me: My phone is at 3 percent and theres no charger what will I ever do? Andrew: Hold my beer.

That whole discussion about the camera kinda made me want a podcast with Gavin from the slow mo guys (and/or a way over the top autofocus shoot)

Love the “Whoops” by marques in the back

The "all-electric drive-train with gas generator" design in question is a "series drivetrain", and has already appeared in the BMW i3 (range extender edition) and Mazda MX-30, among others. This approach eliminates the problematic complexity of traditional hybrid and plug-in hybrid drivetrains, and allows for cheaper vehicles with smaller batteries that reflect how people actually use their cars 99% of the time, while also covering exceptions, emergencies and road trips.

Regarding the Ram 1500 EV, BMW made a similar car (not a truck), the i3 REx, starting back in 2014. Similar concept, just for a different consumer. Runs on an electric drivetrain, but you can turn on the range extender to get 70-100 more miles of range. The REx is a BMW motorcycle engine which acts as the "generator" to put electricity into the battery, which then goes to the electric motors.

I get served videos with less than 100 views pretty regularly, and I don't think it's a coincidence because I click them often. I find it intriguing to watch content from small channels, and the algorithm seems to recognize that.

49:20 exactlyyy sometimes I’ll specifically filter to shorts cause sometimes a 2:50min video with 30sec ad just makes less than a short

Don’t forget Tennys Sandgren, tennis player.

Towards the end y’all said David’s name too many times and my brain did that thing where it was like “is David even a real name?” 🤣

Appreciate the CyanogenMod nod 😂. That’s memories right there.

I mean I don't have even an M1 MacBook, but it cuts deep when sir Marques is generations back on MacBooks, cuts deep.

Having the gas fuel backup definitely helps the anxiety of waiting for a charge on the trips as well. You're able to utilize the existing fuel network. I think it's a great step towards converting to electric.

Andrew's look of pure enlightenment as he visualized the Taco Bell menu was amazing at the end hahaha

on the RAM truck, Fisker Karma and BMW i3 used this setup. Those were initially done to make a car for EV incentives, but with a lower cost(less lithium = cheaper). I suspect RAM is doing this because car batteries are huge and expensive. They don't have as many resources as GM and Ford and were very late to start developing electric vehicles. Smaller battery for this RAM is way cheaper to produce and they still get to call it an EV

Not even 40 seconds in and I am already laughing and smiling! Excited for another show!

How that RAM works is similar to how a lot of trains work in that they use diesel generators to power electric drive motors. Interesting!

Moto 360 video was my first MKBHD video I ever watched. Been subscribed ever since.

The RAM CHARGER is pretty much a BMW I3 (long-range extender motor) on a larger scale

Maybe a good comparison of the Ram 1500 EV would be with a locomotive, diesel electric.

Wow, I am feeling so thanked.

The Ram is like last year's Nissan X Trail/Rogue 13:26

Hearing the Eagle McMahon reference shocked me. Shout out Boulder disc golf

I loved the thank you at the end

Let the show begins!

8:08 I bought an almost new M1 Max MacBook Pro 16" with 32 GPU Cores, 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD in July for roughly under € 2600. It had 2 battery cycles. Looking at the euro prices of M2 and M3 I'm still happy with the decision.

Yes! Ellis with the 32 bit gang!! My hero.

29:24 It's also doing the 120fps in RAW, and at 24mp. Most cameras doing 120fps video are doing it in 4K (way smaller than 24mp), and also in jpeg frame-by-frame. So it's not exactly a 1:1.

17:25 Marques isn't going to forget the GT-R 😂 53:00 The "Forgotify" idea is really good because it gives people the chance to prove their popularity. On the other hand, those videos didn't get any views for a reason, so...

The new Sony A9 III doesn't have a physical shutter curtain anymore (Like Nikon's Z8 & Z9). The sound you are hearing is just for audible feedback. Hockey and Golf games are good examples for this camera because back then if you only use electronic shutter with the traditional sensor, the golf clubs or hockey sticks when shot during action, it will show like it's bent or bowing. Global shutter has drawbacks too. Dynamic range suffers usually.

“The logo is still like the big horn thing” oh do you mean a ram😂

It’s Friday! You guessed it guys! So happy it’s the weekend for the UK

I owned a pick up truck for about 3 years. I never towed but I routinely had a bunch of stuff in the bed of the truck. What exactly does "towing" consist of? I never had to pull another vehicle or trailer but I often had heavy stuff in the bed of the truck. This kinda gives the impress that if you are not towing then you are not using the truck to its potential or something. Idk how to word it but I think you get it. The question should be how often do you use the bed of th truck. The answers and replies to that would answer the question as to why do many use them as daily drivers.

This new RAM EV is actually a "diesel-electric" vehicle just like a locomotive :)

31:04 last comment, I swear: it's also almost certainly an artificial shutter sound. The Nikon Z8 and Z9 also only have e-shutters, and you can turn the sound on or off (depending on whether you want to shoot silent). The shutter noise is sometimes nice to have when you're shooting really fast just as an indicator that you've started shooting, how long you've been shooting, and when your shooting stops.

The weird thing about the Ram 1500 PHEV is that the gas generator is *way too huge*. A 3.6L V6 is a really large engine to try to fit in next to an electric drivetrain.

If you got a commute, it's the best way to listen to a book

Evening! The Ram truck is a good idea. But it was a good idea when James May built his own EV on Top Gear with this technology, 20 years ago...

The best line of the pod: "It's a bird's fault"

lol very entertaining guys. Waiting for the next one.

Just woke up naturally after 5 hours of sleep. Think it was my body alarming me of a new WVFRM podcast

Best pick me up on a friday is a waveform episode.

I can tell a difference between 60hz and 120hz settings on iPhone but I have to intentionally try to scroll fast to see it. For my normal day to day use just scrolling like I normally do, at a speed where I can actually read and navigate the screen, the difference between 60hz and 120hz is not noticeable. Right now I have 4 iPhones and I’m carrying a 2020 SE just because I like it.

Hey, double-checking: if I use the new fast-forward feature over your ad breaks, will you still get paid? I want to make sure I'm supporting you guys the best I can, so if not, I'll continue to sit through them. But if I can, I'd like to fast-forward.

Thank You! @the nissan correction in the beginning 🫡

@36:58 Ellis cracks me up 😂

Andrew: "Hey David, have a safe flight back." 😇 Also Andrew: "Get f***ed, David!" 😈🙃 lol so chaotic, I love it.

Much respect for the correction about Nissan lol ❤️

For what it's worth apple certified refurbished is a great option. All items are like new and come with Apple's standard 1 year AppleCare warranty.

I LOVED that piano black iPhone 7. The only iPhone I used without a case as it was a super scratch magnet and so I embraced it open arms (hands)! Still own it as I like looking at it now and then 😂

As a Chevy Volt owner, I explain the "hybrid" setup as "an electric car with a gas generator included"

Price of used/refurbished M1 macbook just went UP! 😅 thanks guys

RAM is part of Stelantis group witch owns many European brands. The technology that you were talking about I believe was developed in order that European cars could get a ecological badge according to some environmental laws that limit access in some cities to vehicles that emit certain quantities of CO2. I believe this first appeared on Renault and Citroen cars.

The squeeze to activate assistant was my favorite feature on the Pixel 2 and now everything feels like a step backwards.

Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

is the audio a bit echo-y or robotic for anyone else?

My library didn't need to go in person to get a card. Getting a card for ebooks has been a game changer for me

Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)… there are various motor setups. Some use the gas engine to drive the wheels and as a generator for the battery, some are just gas generators for the EV (BMWi3)

@17:58 - Rarely vs never are two very different questions to me. Also "rarely" needs to be defined. If you do it 5 times a year for vacation trips is that rarely? You still are looking for something that tows if you know you want to be able to two something a handful of times a year.

Surprised you guys didn’t discuss OpenAI’s DevDay announcements. Pretty big AI updates!

WTF David! How could you be OOF for the A9iii episode? While Marques and Andrew know this is a significant camera, they aren’t fully aware of HOW significant this camera is. IMO, this is THE most significant stills camera made to date. Please make David revisit this next week. I’ve been a working professional for 30 years and this camera is truly rewriting the rules of what can be accomplished with a stills camera. I’ve been shooting Canon and Mamiya since 1993, so no fanboying here. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say.

The gtr has racing heritage since the 60s

Ellis, I actually did want to hear about 32 bit float point recording…… 😂

I can't remember what it was called but I definitely remember about 10 years ago there was a site you could go to that would direct you to random KZfaq videos that had zero views. Not sure if it's still around but I remember one of my friends in college showing it to me lol

Great pod as always

For the spotify thing, I think 15 hours is alright. On top of the public library, you have podcasts available, and music if you want. For podcasts in particular, I develop a GIANT backlog since I generally listen intently to a single audiobook. And being able to pay for an extra 10 hours really is the smartest part here, since if you absolutely have to finish it, just pay the however much to get a little more time!

It's called nominative determinism :) A friend of mine is a gardener and called Mr Gardener. Mr Welfare who works for Public Health or Alan Toogood, a samaritans volunteer. . .

About the hybrid truck, there's a Nissan car sold in the Asia pacific region that has exactly the same setup. It's an EV with a gas engine "generator".
