Hi, I'm Sam Tucker from Apple and many people often ask us,
2
why does every upgrade cost $200 instead of what it actually costs?
3
Whether it's RAM, storage or a chip, they're all very different things with very different components,
4
yet magically very similar prices.
5
That's just incredible.
6
Well today we're gonna use virtual reality to explore an incredible world where our prices actually reflect how much things cost.
7
Welcome to the whimsical world of AR.
8
Actual reality.
9
Yeah, we haven't been here for a while.
10
Alright, let's start with storage.
11
Now customers were surprised to find that the new Mac mini actually has a removable SSD inside.
12
Which had people thinking that maybe they could buy the cheap base model mini and then upgrade the storage themselves later.
13
But under closer inspection, you'll notice that this isn't a standard M.2 module,
14
no. It's actually an F.U module that isn't compatible with any of the other storage options on the market.
15
But now let's use AR to turn this proprietary connector into the same one that every other manufacturer in the world uses.
16
And then you'll notice that instead of storage costing something like an extra $1,200 it actually only costs $300.
17
Oh, but is that storage as fast as the internal one?
18
Well, their number does look bigger than our number, but I'll be honest.
19
I only have Apple intelligence, and so the only thing I really look for is this pro word on it.
20
Which means it must be good.
21
Wow, we've saved $900 already.
22
Let's move on to RAM.
23
Now since we changed over to Apple Silicon, we also also un-evated the RAM, so that instead of being able to swap it out yourself,
24
it's now been fully integrated inside the chip.
25
Except, it's not.
26
Look, it's right there.
27
Can't we just pop that off like Lego or something?
28
Well, alright, for whatever reason, the RAM has to be this close to the chip, instead of this close to the chip.
29
Which is a shame for you.
30
Because if it was separate,
31
then instead of 32 gigabytes of RAM costing $200 plus $200 It would only be something like a hundred
32
and ten and that's with RGB or B Y B
33
Pink which would have saved you another 290 heck Thunderbolts getting
34
so fast now you're probably wondering why you can't just plug some more RAM in the side like a USB stick If only.
35
Unfortunately, technology like that is far off in the past. With Vista!
36
How the heck does that pile of crap do it?
37
Finally, let's look at the chip.
38
Now, the main update between last year's Macs and the new ones is the M4 chip.
39
But since the chip is stuck to the board, if you want to upgrade to the new one, then you have to buy a whole new computer.
40
But what if the whole chip was removable?
41
Then you'd be able to upgrade your chip and your RAM whenever you want.
42
Oh, but can you socket a powerful chip?
43
Well, in actual reality, of course you can!
44
Like AMD's Epic 9655P that scores 158,000 points for Gryffindor and only costs $10,000.
45
Holy moly!
46
Guess AMD uses Apple math as well.
47
In fact, all of these chips are pretty expensive.
48
It's like they cost more than the computers they come in.
49
But anyway, even if you do have to buy a whole new computer, if the chips were able to just pop out and pop in,
50
then theoretically, you could get yourself an M4 Mac Mini and just plug its chip into your M3 MacBook Pro,
51
giving it a powerful upgrade.
52
Or you could upgrade your old M2 iMac, or even make something that Apple doesn't do, and that's an M4 MacBook Air,
53
bringing your current savings amount to a lot.
54
Wow, what a crazy place that would be, huh?
55
Unfortunately, we're stuck in this timeline,
56
where Apple says they save the environment by forcing you to buy a whole new computer just to upgrade.
57
But.. they do wrap it in paper.
58
You're welcome.
59
Subscribe to Dick!

Come on guys, no one's gonna buy this actual reality.
61
It's too unbelievable.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、テクノロジーに関する会話を通じて、発音やリズムを改善するためのシャドーイング技術を練習します。特に、価格設定や製品の技術的な特徴についての内容を学ぶことで、実際の英語の使用例に触れ、自然な発音をマスターしましょう。このレッスンの目的は、英語の発音を良くすることと、流暢さを向上させることです。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- アップグレード (upgrade) - 書き換えや改善を行うこと。
- ストレージ (storage) - データを保存するための場所。
- RAM (ランダムアクセスメモリ) - コンピュータがデータを一時的に保存するためのメモリ。
- プロプライエタリ (proprietary) - 特定の企業やブランドにのみ使用される技術や部品。
- アップグレード可能 (upgradable) - 改良や更新が可能であること。
- 高速 (fast) - 動作や処理が迅速であること。
- インテリジェンス (intelligence) - 知識や理解の度合い。
- チップ (chip) - コンピュータの基本的な処理部品。
練習のヒント
このビデオのスピードとトーンに合わせて、効果的なシャドーイングを行う方法についてのアドバイスです。
まず、ビデオを何度も繰り返し見てください。初めての視聴では内容を理解することに集中し、次に音声に耳を傾けます。 シャドーイングを始める際には、最初はゆっくりとしたペースで繰り返し、徐々にスピードを上げていくことが重要です。特に、新しい語彙やフレーズを使いながら、自分の声で繰り返すことで、英語シャドーイングの効果が高まります。
また、音声に合わせて抑揚やリズムを加えてみてください。正確な発音だけでなく、言葉の音楽的な側面も意識しましょう。最後に、自分の録音を聞き返して、改善すべき点を見つけることもおすすめです。これにより、英語の発音を良くするための具体的なフィードバックが得られます。効果的な練習を通して、shadow speechのスキルを高めていきましょう！
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
