664: How I Use My Life

How much waterproofing matters in our tech and our riskiest water moments, the last time we changed our minds about a technology, how we buy our phones and thoughts on upgrade programs, and the recent tech purchases we feel guilty about.

Apple's public betas, how we read for pleasure, whether we have multicolored smart lighting, and digital disaster preparedness.

Physical vs. digital media and how we organize it, our system for the digital "deal with it later" pile, what we do with old hardware, and iPhone ergonomics.

Apple's price hikes and our buying plans, our beta OS strategies, dealing with subscriptions, and Meta's new glasses fees.

Our thoughts on Valve's Steam Machine pricing, the third-party camera apps we actually use, whether we wait for tech sales before buying, and if being the "tech person" inspires others or just makes them defer to us.

Snap's latest smart glasses, whether we've tried Apple's new Shortcuts creation feature, AI-powered pets, and who wants a dumb phone?

Our hopes for fixes in the '27 platform updates, what we'll do with our Intel Macs now that they've reached end of the road, whether we'll trust the new Siri AI, and how we feel about Apple's child safety and age verification answers.

WWDC expectations, how we squeeze more life out of older gadgets, our search engine habits, and the next craft projects tech will help us with.

Whether we've bought anything from social media ads, if we'd use a dumb phone, our thoughts on screenless fitness trackers like Whoop and Fitbit Air, and tech hardware that feels purpose-built for us.

The apps we given up on, how often we go to the Apple Store, the first things we do on our phones every day, and our latest tech joys.
