Welcome to another episode of Jargon, the show from Digital Trends that deciphers the complex terminology of various industries into words and concepts the rest of us understand. We’re live each week on Tuesdays with a fresh set of jargon from a different industry.
On this episode, host Myq Kaplan artfully dodges his ignorance of the baffling jargon of digital art by inviting Joe Sliger, senior technical solutions architect for Wacom, to teach him all about it. We run the color gamut of the ones and zeros that create the digital world of GIFs, JPEGs, and PNGs we see every day through our screens, as well as discuss alternatives to the higher-cost, professional programs so you can create digital art of your own.
Jargon discussed on this episode:
On next week’s episode, we’re poppin’ bottles and testing our collective palettes with the jargon of wine. Tune in and you’ll be uncorking a new level of knowledge.

There are two reasons why. First, it may become one of the most interesting and innovative “Made for iPhone” official accessory ranges we’ve seen since the beginning of the program itself.
Second, we should also remember it’s the latest weapon in Apple’s ecosystem arsenal, designed specifically to keep you buying the iPhone for years to come, possibly including one of the most controversial rumored iPhones on the horizon.
What is MagSafe for iPhone?
What does MagSafe do? It’s a new way for chargers and accessories to attach and talk to your iPhone. The simplest accessory is Apple's own MagSafe Wireless Charger, a $39 charging plate that looks a bit like a thinner, oversized Apple Watch charging plinth. It uses magnets to clamp itself tightly against the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, securely keeping it in place for accurate charger positioning.
