Episode 196 – Summer Heat

Adam Bell and Peter Nikolaidis
The Blurring The Lines Podcast

The meeting began with a casual conversation between Peter and Adam about their personal lives, including the weather and their physical activities. They also discussed the challenges of working from home and the importance of maintaining flexibility and posture. The conversation set a relaxed and casual tone for the podcast.

Adam and Peter discussed their Apple Watch challenge and how the points system works. They debated whether the points are based on calories burnt or other metrics and agreed to do some research to figure out how the points are calculated. They also discussed their weekend plans, including attending the Killington Wine Festival and staying at a resort.

During the meeting section, Adam raised a concern about his Apple Watch not recording his sleep accurately. Peter and Adam discussed the issue and determined that the cellular signal and airplane mode may be impacting the watch’s sleep tracking feature. They also discussed the sentiment metrics of their meeting and the importance of staying up-to-date with technology upgrades.

Adam and Peter discussed the encryption of Apple iMessage and the potential security risks of password generators. They also talked about the future of identity verification and the importance of strong company culture. The meeting ended with a brief conversation about a potential cage fight between Zuckerberg and Musk, and well wishes for the weekend.
