In this edition:
The Nothing Phone 2: An inexpensive smartphone that has me genuinely excited. While it may not be compatible with all US networks, this $350 device strikes a balance between affordability and quality that I can’t resist.
Last Week Tonight’s Boeing segment: John Oliver’s latest episode sheds light on the evolution of companies and products, drawing parallels to the tech industry. A must-watch for all.
The Logitech MX Brio: Priced at $200, this high-end webcam offers a sleek design and promising performance. Logitech’s reputation for simplicity and quality makes this a standout product.
The Gentlemen: A luxurious Netflix series featuring a mix of sophistication and intrigue, inspired by a quirky action film. Early reviews suggest it’s a winner.
MyMind: A personal organization app akin to a digital vision board, this iOS exclusive tool now boasts a new feature called Serendipity. Android users can also look forward to enhancements in the near future.
CleanMyPhone: From the makers of CleanMyMac and CleanMyPC, this app is designed to declutter your iPhone’s camera roll. While it comes with a price tag of $24.99 per year, the three-day free trial offers a chance to test its capabilities.
“The BEST remote control was made in 2005”: A humorous yet nostalgic video highlights the Harmony 880 universal remote, reigniting my desire for a truly exceptional remote control.
The M3 MacBook Air: Despite my fondness for the wedge design, I’m tempted by the new Air’s impressive battery life and performance, along with its sleek midnight color.
The Rivian R3: While the R2 model offers enticing features, I’m particularly drawn to the sporty and compact R3, which exudes vintage Land Rover vibes.
Group project:
Following my recent musings on the plethora of music services available, many readers reached out to share their own struggles and preferences. Here are some key takeaways from your insights:
– Not all music services are perfect, leading many users to settle for platforms with less-than-ideal interfaces or audio quality.
– Apple Music excels in playlist management and library organization.
– Spotify stands out for its personalized recommendations and social features.
– YouTube Music’s inclusion with YouTube Premium makes it a convenient choice for many.
– Tidal continues to impress users with its high-quality audio offerings.
– Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all music app, allowing users to switch between services based on their needs and preferences.
Screen share:
In this edition’s screen share segment, The Verge’s Liz Lopatto offers a glimpse into her unique smartphone setup. Despite her unconventional choice of a second homescreen as her primary display, Liz’s selection of apps reflects her blend of tech savvy and personal interests.
