MobileViews 565: Pre-WWDC; Windows to Linux; OpenAI Codex in ChatGPT

In this podcast, Jon Westfall and Todd Ogasawara discuss a range of tech topics, starting with Todd's ongoing struggles to update his 2019 HP Envy 360 laptop to Windows 11 or Google FlexOS due to processor incompatibility, leading him back to Linux. He notes the quirks of Linux, like his Bluetooth mouse not working with Linux Mint but functioning fine with Ubuntu. The conversation then shifts to the recent ability to use Apple Find My in South Korea as of June 1st, 2025, dispelling previous assumptions about privacy laws preventing its use there. Jon shares amusing anecdotes about using AirTags for unexpected insights, such as detecting activity near his office over the weekend.
The duo also delves into rumors about upcoming AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 features, including camera control, sleep detection, and new head gestures for answering calls and dismissing notifications. Jon observes that many people, especially younger generations, wear AirPods constantly, even when not listening to anything, which could drive the development of these features. They express both excitement and skepticism about the rumored iPadOS 26 menu bar and hope for significant improvements to Stage Manager, citing issues with external monitor usage. Finally, they touch upon the evolving landscape of AI in coding, with Jon sharing his experiences using OpenAI's Codex for debugging and code explanation, likening the AI's persistent "help" to a "code therapist". They ponder the increasing integration of AI into everyday tech and humorously speculate about a future where AI becomes so prevalent it might "leave" humanity behind.
