CCATP #729 – John Siracusa on Many Things Including Display Technologies

Our guest this week on Chit Chat Across the Pond is John Siracusa of the Accidental Tech Podcast (https://atp.fm/), Reconcilable Differences (https://www.relay.fm/rd), and Robot or Not (https://www.theincomparable.com/robot/). He’s also the developer of two interesting Mac apps: Front and Center (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/front-and-center/id1493996622?mt=12) and SwitchGlass (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/switchglass/id1498546559?mt=12). You can find his blog at Hypercritical.co. You can find him on Twitter @siracusa (https://twitter.com/siracusa) I’ve been a fan of John’s for a long time but I never knew anything about his background, so I asked him to start at the beginning and explain where he came from. Next I ask him some questions about screen brightness and arrangement of windows that I’ve heard him talking about and always wanted to investigate his ideas further. Then we get into a super meaty discussion where he explains display technology from LCD to OLED to QD-OLED (or Quantum Dot OLED). John was as delightful as I’d hoped, as knowledgeable as I’d expected and I had a fantastic time with him.
