611: I Set a Trap

Apple and Perplexity rumors, the F1 coupon fiasco, our thoughts on device battery health, and whether Apple should build a chatbot.

Our interest in drones and how we’d use them, household standards for wearing Bluetooth headphones, whether we install OS betas and on which devices, and the rare app or service where we don’t mind seeing ads.

Jony Ive and Sam Altman's new AI hardware joint, whether we play games on our phones, the last time we used styluses, and our tech pet peeves.

Fortnite's return to the App Store, the tech we now hate, how we feel about CarPlay, and what our homescreens look like.

The features only we use, indie Mac apps we love, whether we have robotic vacuums, and technology that's recently improved our lives.

Feelings on the Epic v. Apple ruling and Kindle’s new purchase option, whether we report bugs to small devs or stay silent, how we balance a single or multi-device Mac setup, and one feature we’re hoping to see at the upcoming WWDC.

How sycophantic we want our chatbots to be, Google ending Nest support, what we've learned from Reddit recently, and whether developer conferences are still about developers.

Interest in a humanoid home robot and its role, who we'd want to own Chrome if Google sells it and what they'd do with it, the streaming service we'd cancel first, and our favorite go-to site for inspiration, nostalgia, or feel-good vibes.

Simple solutions to complex tech problems, whether iPadOS 19 can solve its power user problem, if we look forward to Siri knowing what's on our screen, and OpenAI's prospective social media network.

Whether we use a docking device with our main PC or Mac, feelings of algorithm fatigue and if it's enough to leave Spotify, the software we geek out over like Numbers, and if rising prices due to tariffs might stop us from buying a new phone this year.
