619: I Lack the Patience For Other People

Thoughts on Apple’s iPhone colors this year, whether we’d try the new TechWoven cases, if we’re doing any AI-related work on our phones, and whether there’s still room for innovation in the iPhone compared to Apple Watch or AirPods.

Google's antitrust woes (or lack thereof), encounters with buggy apps in betas, camping tech, and how thin is too thin when it comes to technology.

The tech we have in our vehicles, the dependable tech that just works and what might make us replace it, how often we upgrade our phones or computers and why, and which social platforms we use — including where we heard about Taylor Swift's engagement.

Whether we've used tech to build habits lately, if we edit Wikipedia, our approach to software updates, and if we blog or have any blog recommendations.

Our display setup and window management; which legacy online component should be sunset after AOL dial-up; whether new Shortcuts and Apple Intelligence automation appeals; and views on YouTube’s AI age verification and the best and worst ways to do it.

Our approach to cable management at home, the tech we pack for inflight entertainment, the devices and chargers we bring on quick trips, and our go-to strategy for international phone data plans.

Our experiences with tap‑to‑exchange features like phone payments, what we truly consider ephemeral online, a recent tech frustration that hampered productivity, and opinions on children's shoes with hidden AirTag slots.

Whether we buy AppleCare, how we clear out our inboxes, our smartwatch band habits, and travel tips for coming to America.

Our MMORPG experience and enjoyment; how we pick restaurants or cafés on the road—Google Maps, Yelp, etc.; the tech we never leave home without and if it's more or less than before; and the arcade game we'd love to own as an original cabinet.

Apple's beta season commences, Jack Dorsey's new chat app, how we wake up in the morning, and whether we have security cameras.
