Imagine being one of the devs that decided to use a picture of their coworker cross-dressing on a test app just for shits and giggles since no one will ever see it then 14 year later a random australian shows it to 150 thousand people (and counting)
@@TheBluePhoenix008 Unit tests are bits of code to test other code. If you are writing a function of code that is supposed to tell you if a number is even, and error if you give it something that is not a number at all, if your function would be something like "function isEven(input): boolean", the unit tests could look something like this: assertTrue(isEven(0)) assertTrue(isEven(2)) assertTrue(isEven(111485577108)) assertTrue(isEven(-2)) assertTrue(isEven(-0)) assertFalse(isEven(1)) assertFalse(isEven(-1)) assertFalse(isEven(99999999)) assertErrors(isEven("spaghetti")) assertErrors(isEven(cat)) You run through a bunch of possible test cases. In case someone later modifies the contents of isEven, the test cases will let you know if anything breaks unexpectedly. Real unit tests will usually test more complex functionality than this.
@@TheBluePhoenix008A unit test is a piece of code that tests exactly one thing in your program. Example: If you have a function that's supposed to add two numbers together, you could write a test that runs the function and checks if the result is correct. That particular example is simple to the point of uselessness, but as a program grows more complex you want to be able to quickly see that all of the individual pieces are still working. You would write a bunch of tests and run them all whenever you make a change to make sure a. Your change works b. You didn't break anything that was previously working You could also write the tests before you actually write the program. That's called "test-driven development." You know exactly when your code is working because it'll pass the test. It gives a specific goal to work towards.
@@TheBluePhoenix008 It's code that basically runs the normal code and checks it against a bunch of expectations. If I have a function that doubles a number it's given, I can have a test that runs it a few times with a bunch of numbers and checks the function outputs the right answer each time. It makes sure the code works as expected, and means that if something breaks that function down the line then you'll know as soon as the tests run
I remember a story I heard, where Steve Jobs was handed an early prototype of the original iPod by two of his engineers, and it was apparently a bit large and clunky, but the engineers swore to Steve that this was as small as they could get it, Steve said nothing, walked to a nearby fish tank, prototype in hand, and dropped it in. When bubbles started coming out of it Steve only said "See that? That's empty space. Make it smaller"
That tea pot in the demo is famous among programmers as a way to test their 3d rendering code, it's known as the Utah teapot and has a pretty interesting history, it is actually featured as a reference in a Simpsons episode even
I love how personality content is on the comeback. Like I'm a headphone guy but god I wouldn't care if u switched your content to like a bongo review channel. I'd still watch every single video. You're such a gem M8.
"Today Mates and Matettes we're reviewing my favorite four wheeled dingus, the 1978 Mazda Bongo. This van's got four cylinders, four tires, four speeds, and four doors! Sadly, no radio so I'll bring the FiiO X1 and the sexy speaker - "Auxillary Mode" - she likes riding in my shaggin' van. Hey Frank, after I go shoppin' you wanna go to the dog park and play with the other puppers? You do? Well, slither in. And no eating the Pomeranians this time!" *Proceeds to blast Scarlet Fire on repeat all the way to K-Mart.*
I still has my japanese market Ipod touch nano from 14 years ago ( bought it new ) and still works perfect and i still got 450 songs , 2 games , 4 podcasts , old school work ( records from teacher ) and pictures of my first gf
Your after show about the original craig was hilarious. At the beginning: We have to be careful with the box cause it's going straight into the Craig collection At the end: Oh no it cuts through the craig
the apple devs knew we’d be getting a little overexcited around 9:30 in the video, so they kindly threw in the switchboard app to help us - T H I N K - U N S E X Y - T H O U G H T S -
7:05 Fun fact! This particular object is the Utah teapot, an early 3D model significant for its use in graphics experiments since its creation in 1975.
Honestly never thought there would be a time in my life when I would genuinely smile because an Australian man got excited over an old iPod turning on.
Funny thing is, in the UC Timeline, the Zeon empire drops a huge-ass space station on Sydney, Australia, which means that everyone within Australia and maybe New Zealand would be utterly annihilated. Good thing DankPods doesn't exist in the Gundam universe, huh?
Recently, after binge-watching some of your content, I decided to look for my old iPod from 2002. Thankfully it didn't take too long to find, but now I get to look for the charger. I hope it doesn't take too long, I need to hear my torrented Kidz Bop tracks
To give an idea of how crazy cellphones were In 2005 when I was graduating Highschool, one to two people out of 500 had a cell phone. In the Army, it wasn't until 2007 that Cellphones started getting mandatory.
Pretty different story where i live! Highschool (2005 - 07) everyone i knew and everyone in my whole class had a phone (90% sony ericsson) then in late 07 / early 08 you would rarely see anything that wasn't an iPhone or samsung touch phone
The fact you could run unit tests (which test that the code does what its programmed to do on a function by function basis) tickled my programmer funny bone
as a degenerated developer, I can only say THIS IS AMAZING! it's like a time machine for what the poor programmers from back in the day were dealing with, testing things, mocking things up.. IT'S SO COOL!
If you appreciate that sort of thing, look at the game Micro Mages. It's an NES game that was made off a Kickstarter in 2018. They made it fit into 40kB which was the size of early NES carts.
I learned today that Marshall amps made a smartphone a while back. It apparently has all kinds of audio voodoo, two headphone jacks, and a bunch of incredible software for music. A true audiophile phone. You should definitely try to get your hands on one!
Fun fact #1: The crash date was 12/31/69 because of a epoch time glitch. Fun fact #2: The teapot shown was the Utah Teapot which was a standard reference model used in many different 3d software for years.
@@wesleymays1931 I know that exact commercial. The guy in drag was to represent a home movie edited in Windows Movie Maker compared to the supermodel in the same dress representing a home movie edited in iMovie. (Or a PC home movie vs Mac home movie, as they put it)
to add a bit more explanation to #1: epoch time basically measures the time that has passed since the 1st of January 1970 midnight. So every date before is essentially non-existing for the epoch time.
Unit tests are pieces of code that test functions/pieces of code that will be in the final software. Once the function is written, a test can be written and if the test succeeds and fails when it needs to, you can rely on it from then on. You can then make performance/resource improvements to functions and run the unit tests that will tell you if any as well as which functions got messed up and no longer have the intended behavior.
9:25 That’s actually the PC guy’s knock-off model for one of the Mac vs PC advertisements back in the day. Very interesting to see it in iPod development firmware!
It really is worth it. I pay the 10$ and every upload i love to try and find my name and screenshot it. But you dont even need the 10$ one. You can just get the 1$ one and its still totally worth it. Chattin with mr pods himself always makes my day. Hes a super busy guy but when i get the reply im smiling for hours
The $1 a month is totally worth it for 4 extra videos a month, and Dank interacts a bit more with the chat (when it actually works correctly). But yeah, best $6 I’ve ever spent easily.
I feel like when I finally kick the bucket one day and my life flashes before my eyes, an Australian hysterically yelling “SKANKPHONE” will be one of the memories that flashes before my eyes
I know he won’t see this but I just want you to know that your Chanel has helped more than you can imagine in the last year I just wanna say thanks and don’t go anywhere anytime soon 👉👈
Being an adult with super bad adhd, I can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos. They're genuinely fun and i love the hyper happy giggly energy. Hahahahaha It's how I feel alot, like zoooom beep beep outta my way I'm off the walls!!!
Probably not, considering the iPod Touch and iPhone had simular OSes at the time, most likely that both devices had the same testing apps installed. Explains why it locked up when he tried to do anything, the app was trying to issue commands to hardware that just isn't there
FYI DVT can also mean(in product development) “Device Validation Testing” or “Design Verification Testing.” Companies are kinda different in how they name stuff, but generally design levels are the same EV - DV - PV. Edit: awesome video btw!
funfact about the 1969 crash at 7:52 a lot of electronics use to base their clock time off of the "epoch" which was january 1st 1970. and if you set your clock date and time to before 1970 it would crash your device potentially bricking it because it would be stuck with an invalid time and error out.
For some unknown reason I laughed really hard at the part where he saw the crash from 1968. I was sipping water at the time and choked and nearly coughed my fricken lungs out, god that hurt
How haven’t I found you before. Such awesome content and such an awesome funny RU-vidr. Subbed and bell notifications on. Now going to spend the next 50 million hours watching all your uploads. 😂😂👍👍
15:40 cameras on iPods couldn't be opened with less that 5% battery, or something like that, and you had 2% battery so maybe that's why it didn't open (also note it wasn't just a software thing, you could force to open it if you had it jailbroken but it would glitch out a lot so it wasn't worth it)
People have already pointed out that Soundwave and Rumble are Transformers. To add to that information, Soundwave was a microcassette recorder and Rumble was one of the cassettes. Perhaps "Soundwave" represents a recording app and "Rumble" is a stand-in for the iTunes music library?
The 1969 crash is probably to do with the fact that all devices measure time with seconds since 1st January 1970 (it's called Unix time) and there used to be a very prolific bug with the iPhones where you could push the date and time before then which would loop it back to like the year 100M. And the phone just didn't know what to do and would crash
As a fellow Australian can I just say how happy I’ve been to see this channel grow. Not long ago you were at 50k this growth has been insane - you’re fucking hilarious though so u deserve it
I got an iPhone 13 Pro Max recently as a Christmas gift to myself, and it's really weird seeing these old iPods in retrospect and remembering how iPhones used to look like that. What a ways we've come.
me watching him tell the iPod "all right mate, she's still thinking" is literally me to my brain during exams. who knew this channel is so.... relatable
9:25 ah, I remember that guy. I had that on my iPhone 2G. same guy, but the "app" was named SkankPhone. And when you opened it, it closed the regular home screen (SpringBoard), and went into something that looks similar to the SwitchBoard iPod that wouldn't die
Could you do more stuff with gen 3 nanos? I would like to see what it's like taking them apart and refurbishing them with someone that actually makes it entertaining. Thanks :)
"Yeah Jack I'll just use this picture of you in drag, don't worry, it's not like almost 2,000,000 people will see it in 14 years I'm just showing it to engineering!"
I relate to Frank too much. I got Blu Rays to watch and games to play on ever-decaying hardware and I just lie down in bed and stare at the mess of water bottles and coffee cans that my computer desk has become.
I found this channel a few weeks ago and decided I needed to experiance the magic behind owning and using an iPod classic. I did some research and 5 days, $45 on the ipod and about $60-70 on iTunes, I am the proud owner of my favorite audio device (including my iPhone) ever, the mighty iPod 4th gen. Thank you for the comedy dankPods!! keep at it!
(7:05) That teapot is the first thing that was ever modelled in 3D on a computer way back in the day. (70s?) It's sort of an in joke in 3D modelling circles these days.
I work in software qa and this was genuinely interesting. Just by going through the different versioned names of the model kinda gives us insight into what Apple did for testing. I don't work on hardware though so seeing the testing tools (as apps) they've built is pretty interesting too.
