If pets could talk that would be kind of fun! It would be like that movie doctor do little haha
Having watched Rick and Morty, I'd envision pets getting mad at us for neglecting them or castrating them haha
haha I can only imagine. I've never seen rick and morty is it worth watching? Dude I think we were just chatting earlier about whataburger and energy drinks
It's a funny one, but the humor can get inappropriate at times... Yessir!
Bro, racking up those points for a free iPad or computer! haha Yeah most shows are like that these days. I think its pretty funny!
You know it! Yeah, I'm used to it by now haha
Yeah I'd say the same thing. So are you in classes right now or what?
I just got home. They let us out of IT early
OH nice, so are you helping with this chit chat thing for a class or just on your own?
I'm doing it on my own. They sent me an email about it. How about you?
Same they just sent me an email saying I could win some free stuff haha thats why im on here! So is that what you're studying is IT? Or computers?
My major is computer science, but I'm planning to do Dev Mountain and just drop out haha
hahaha thats awesome! Is Dev Mountain that online coding class or something? I feel like I've seen bill boards for it on the freeway.
Yeah, Dev Mountain is an immersive program where you study a subject area of your choice. It can be web development, software development, iOS, or other things It's like 12 weeks or something, M-F, 9-5 So pretty hardcore, but it's a quick turnaround to the job field
Oh Gotcha, so its mainly focused on computer sciences? Seems legit to me, especially if you already know what you want to do why waste your time in school. Might as well just do the 12 weeks and then start making money.
Exactly! That's what I'm thinking. They've got multiple campuses, too. One of them is in Provo, but I'll be going to Salt Lake because Provo doesn't offer iOS
Nice man so you're planning on studying iOS? What all does that entail, like what would you end up doing with that after you finished at Dev Mountain?
Yeah, that's what I'm going to study. I'm not sure how I'm going to apply it yet, but I could potentially make crossover platforms for applications that run on Android. I'd love to help program smart cars. Apple's been working on those for a while now
okay thats pretty cool, sounds hard to me! So are you a bigger fan of Apple or Android and why? Dude smart cars that sounds way sick! Does the Tesla count?
I'm an Android fan deep inside. I've got the Galaxy phone. Android has a lot less restrictions. I'm only working with iOS because it pays more The Tesla would definitely qualify as a smart car
Yeah dude with a company like Apple that makes tons of money I would expect them to take care of their employees haha! What kind of restriction are there between the iPhone and Android phones that make the biggest difference? If that question makes sens. sense*
So with Apple, if you want to publish an application, you have to pay money to Apple in order to publish it on the AppStore. Android lets users publish whatever they want for no cost The iOS language is also relatively new compared to Javascript, so you can't do as much with it
Okay that makes sense. So would you say its less restricted when it comes to like development and coding? Like that sort of thing. Or do you think theres a big difference for someone that wants to just use a phone to like make calls, texts, social media etc...
Yes, that is the case
Yeah makes sense. What is your opinion of the new iPhones that just came out?
They aren't really that different from the older models... just bigger haha
I guess you're right haha! Would you ever switch over from Android to iPhone?
Only if my job made me I'm not a fan of apple haha
I'm sure if you worked for them doing stuff with iOS they'd probably give you a free iPhone or something like that.
Yeah probably. I'd use it on the job, then throw it in my drawer once i got home haha
haha thats pretty funny! I feel like everyone today is super into all the Apple stuff !
That's the hype because it's user friendly
It is pretty easy to use! I used to have a Samsung Galaxy and then I switched to iPhone. I think it is pretty easy to use since I mostly just use it to call text And occasionally go on social media, which works pretty well on it too.
Exactly, iPhone has the leg up on those basic functions
Yup, and I feel like all their stuff is marketed pretty well.
Yupp they're always promoting it Samsung doesn't do as much as that Some things, they just do better Like including a headphone jack haha
Yeah true that! And not charging you an extra $30 dollars or something like that for the little connector
Apple is way overpriced
But now a days all the headphones are becoming wireless! What do you think of those?
Always looking for was to charge you more
I agree they are way pricy for their stuff.
I prefer wired headphones They've got a better look
Do you think they sound better?
AirPods just look weird And i do think their sound quality is better, depending on the pair you use
Air pods do look a little funky, but I feel like i've gotten used to it since everybody has them now. What do you think of the beats headphones?
Haha, I'm still not used to them Beats are too big for me I prefer the earbuds
Gotcha! nice I do like the over ear headphones because they kind of tune everything out! Like the Bose noice cancelling headphones, those are really awesome.
I've never used them. Do they work well?
Yeah they work like magic. The have some kind of noise technology that you can't really hear but it tunes out all the other sounds coming in . And then just in general bose speakers are really well built.
Sounds good for sleeping haha Not good for crossing the street or driving
Yeah, you could throw on some soft tunes and pass out. Yeah probably not good for either of those where you need to pay attention to your surroundings. They are nice for airplane rides and stuyding! studying
Oh totally! How expensive were your headphones?
Yeah dude they are nice! So the bose ones are pretty expensive, I think they start around $300, but you might be able to find some for around $200 used or refurbished.
Doesn't cost as much as my VR haha
Is that one of those things you put on your head and it takes your into like the video game world? They have like places in the mall where you can do it
Yeah I've got one of those!
Nice dude how much do those normally cost? I played one of them at my friends house, it was like one of those horror ones, it was pretty freaky.
Depends if you want the one you use with your phone or the real deal. Mine is the real deal and it costed me $400. But I bought it new Haha yeah, those can be creepy
Oh dang dude thats pretty pricey! So does it have all the games and features already built into the headset or how does it work?
You download an application on your computer to run the games. The headset connects to your PC and you use it that way They have free games and paid games. As with anything, the paid games are always funner
That seems pretty sweet dude! What kind of games are your favorite. I've seen videos of people like falling or things like that within the game and its pretty funny. Does it feel that realisitic?
It really does sometimes haha My favorite game would be Beat Saber! Have you heard of it?
No, what do you do in it?
It's like a combination of guitar hero and star wars haha I'll send you a video
Dude that sounds awesome! haha do they have all the fun songs like they do in guitar hero?
youtube.com/watch?v=ofx2oDi6ukE There's a mod you can download where you can choose any song you want haha
Dang bro that seems freaking intense! haha Especially when there are a bunch of them coming fast.
Yeah, that's the hardest difficulty. Obviously, there's easier modes
Seems pretty fun! I should go to the mall or one of those places and test it out sometime! haha I bet that would be fun to have at like parties and stuff when you're hanging out with your friends.
Oh it's lots of fun! They've got multiplayer games too!
nice! do you have to have two VR headsets to play though? That probably gets kind of expensive haha
So i have a game called "Keep talking and nobody explodes." The person in the headset sees a bomb and everyone else outside has to help him deactivate the bomb the people outside have a manual with the instructions for each puzzle on the bomb
oh nice bro, so its like all group interactive and stuff thats awesome! That one sounds really fun!
You've gotta try it!
Whats the name of your VR set is it called the Occulus Rift? I think I've heard that name somehwhere before.
Yeah I've got the Rift
Dude seriously! It sounds way fun!
Most malls have the HTC Vive It's a more expensive model
Is that the one that connects to your cell phone? I just know HTC is a phone brand haha oh nevermind haha
Yeah, it connects to the PC
Fun fun fun
The only problem is that you need a good PC to run it
Forsure you can't run it off something crappy haha! Do you have  a good computer? I've heard alien ware is pretty good for gaming...thats just what i've heard. I'm not very educated with what PC stuff.
Yeah alienware is definitely good, but I have an Acer laptop and it does just fine Alienware can be expensive
Whats like the biggest difference between the two? Is it just the chip inside or something?
It's hard to say... The hardware is actually pretty similar... It's the name that makes it expensive. It's just like Apple vs Android The hardware is the same. They just sell more because of the name
Stupid how marketing works like that. Too bad they just can't make a universal brand for one thing.
That'll never happen That's how monopolies are born well, i got to go. See ya!
