3×09 hellyeah! show: The Lost of Us

iOS 7

In this grand episode of the hellyeah! show

…we discuss lost multiplayer progress, NAS setups and Plex Media Server, Grand Theft Auto V, The Wind Waker HD, chili, a whole lot of stuff about iOS 7, and Apple’s TouchID.

Emory’s stuff

  • More like “the lost of us” amirite
  • FreeNAS 9.1.1 and Plex Media Server
    • not perfect but pretty close

Alan’s stuff

  • Grand Theft Auto V
    • also: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for iOS
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for Wii U
  • “Fusion Chili” is really hard to make

iOS 7

  • Look for better Camera application
  • nicer photo organization — event/location/date scroll!
  • Give the flat UI a chance!
  • Applications that are updated for iOS 7 look great
  • Auto Updates and granular controls on what happens on wifi/LTE
  • New software that uses new UIs and the problem of cost
  • Battery life issues for iPhone5?

Touch ID

  • Tech pundits and press got this all wrong (including Bruce Schneier)
  • Promises technology that addresses common problems

Caveats:

iPhone can now IFTTT!

There is now an iPhone app for IFTTT, allowing you to create new recipes for automatic actions and event logging. Rather than relying on a third party notification service you can now opt to use notifications to the IFTTT App.

IFTTT ((if this, then that: ifttt.com)) is one of my favorite web services — I use it to dump ADN ((app.net – http://app.net/)) and Facebook status messages I’ve written into a Google Drive document, send CERT advisories to my iPhone via Prowl, and one of my favorites: starred posts on ADN, pinboard ((Great bookmark service: pinboard.in)) bookmarks marked “to read” and saved articles in Feedly get saved to Evernote and Pocket.

Having said that, IFTTT is my current achilles heel and I am hoping that they find a way to make sure some reasonable continuity of business is in the cards through some sort of service model. I would pay for the service as it is, especially now that my hot selfies can be auto-posted to my tumblr.

As with everything IFTTT, you’ll have to get creative to truly take advantage of the service’s three new channels: Photos, Reminders, and Contacts. For example, you could have IFTTT create a new Google Calendar event every time you add a contact, so you can keep track of when you meet people, or you could have IFTTT post every selfie you take to a Tumblr blog you’ve created. Yep, there’s an IFTTT trigger that activates only for photos taken using your phone’s front-facing camera. You can optionally receive push notifications when any of your recipes run their course.
