593: Basically the Wheels are Falling Off

Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement, what we actually use AI for, how we learn new skills, and the old gadgets we'll never give up.

A household appliance we’d improve with modern tech, a ridiculous tech solution to a silly problem we’ve had, the iOS or app interface we most want redesigned in iOS 19, and a pie-in-the-sky Apple Intelligence feature that would truly excite us.

What we carry in our wallets, do we want dumb phones, how we feel about the new Pebble smartwaches, and whether we'd be interested in a cellular MacBook.

How we maintain battery health, thoughts on Discord’s IPO and if any tech company improved post-IPO, the must-have and leave-behind tech for trips, and how to protect non-tech-savvy older adults from scams like the 'Grandparent scam.'

Apple's latest hardware updates, smart clothing, how we transfer money between friends, and the latest on UK encryption.

Where we prefer to edit photos, thoughts on VC investment vs. a level 14 round boi, our use of voice assistants and what improvements might make Alexa AI worthwhile, and the frustration of new USB-C products still requiring USB-A cables for charging.

Thoughts on the iPhone 16e, our morning beverage tech, whether we're interested in smart rings, and how we use tech to de-stress.

Improvements we’d like in Apple’s Photos app after acquiring Pixelmator and Photomator, thoughts on Apple renaming the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on Maps, a realistic task for a robot, and whether we use AI tools and which ones.

Weird apps Apple should make, the strangest looking tech we own, what will it take for Vision Pro to go mainstream, and the discontinued tech products we'd revive.

The how often we use our non-default smartphone cameras, the tech or techniques we use to stay focused at work, where we buy and read ebooks and whether supporting indie bookstores appeals to us, and our least favorite thing to troubleshoot.
