0:06

a name that like cars is now for

0:09

the next year state of the hardware rely

0:11

on each when he when he's twenty four

0:13

Twenty Twenty four because as the A were

0:15

in yeah we did this last year for

0:17

the first time where we spoke about a

1:12

of the Ring The Two Towers have

1:14

been just like thrilled to have this

1:16

as an excuse to re watch the

1:19

movies. I haven't watched them in just

1:21

forever. It has been real interesting to

1:23

hear Mike as the total new but

1:25

you the franchise discussing his thoughts on

1:27

it's and yeah I feel like. You

1:30

know We started with the Fellowship and

1:32

we did the two towers and boy

1:34

I forgot how much is it the

1:36

two towers. It's like when I haven't

1:38

seen it for a while. it's the

1:40

middle movie. It's easy to kind of

1:42

thing to this happened in the first

1:45

movie or maybe like this happen in

1:47

the third movie. so I boy so

1:49

much happens in the second movie and

1:51

I was like so pumped to see

1:53

it again and to get a chance

1:55

to talk about it also as well.

1:57

This episode is longer than The Fellowship

1:59

Absa. And through the runtime

2:01

a retailer the King. I'm expecting

2:03

that to continue. I think that

2:05

pattern will continue i us as

2:08

always before Ivory watched it a

2:10

before he recorded opposite. How much

2:12

will leave and have to say

2:14

about the two towers of the

2:16

ads? There is more than we

2:18

even had the about the Fellowship

2:20

2:22

conversation with you. And you can

2:24

go to getmoretax.com to sign up

2:26

2:30

Extravaganza. So

2:33

Stay at a Hardware begins with the

2:35

products that we carry on our person

2:37

every day or everyday carry with start

2:39

with some like fun easing right now.

2:41

what is the naming convention now I

2:43

totally forgot but it's the I phone

2:45

pro I think Apple calls it with

2:47

action button on side right letter thing.

2:50

They call about a week and closer

2:52

than that and I'm on and I

2:54

some fifteen Pro max and natural Titanium

2:56

is great color it's I remember I

2:58

was really concerned about moving away from

3:00

gold cause I loved the goals on.

3:03

The I'm a big fan of than after. Titanium

3:05

is a really interesting look for the fun and

3:07

I like the with the back off next to

3:09

it as actually think it was one of the

3:11

better looking color choices for a profound in a

3:14

while and so have been enjoying nicely. Yeah,

3:16

it's funny. You reminded me I forgot

3:18

that I had purchased the blue for

3:20

the titanium and say why I do

3:22

like it but of course it just

3:24

goes straight into a case. adds that

3:26

the never see it again and ever

3:28

think about it by just pulled it

3:30

out and like I'm here that blue

3:32

really does look very nice but now

3:34

in the case it goes. I've been

3:36

having a thought recently. Ah and I

3:38

think this is like leading in from

3:40

previous episode two. We did Wow! Was

3:42

talking about. Trying. To do some

3:44

stuff less especially on my phone. Or

3:47

her. I was wondering like if I

3:49

went to the regular profound. Would

3:52

I like my phone less? Okay,

3:55

Look Mike We. Had a big conversation

3:58

last episodes in there was. Basically

4:00

a little bit about you and your

4:02

phone but also you and your your

4:04

usage of things and. It did

4:06

not occur to me until this moment. I

4:08

think I forget that you always have the

4:10

big phone that. This. May be

4:12

a contributor to some of the stuff

4:15

we were talking about last time with

4:17

email and notifications so. I.

4:19

Think my thought is. You

4:22

might like the phone less, but

4:24

that might be better for you.

4:26

Yeah, that's what I'm saying like

4:28

if I had the small a

4:30

phone I might like using my

4:32

phone unless. I'm going

4:34

to think about this as we move towards

4:36

the new fun this year. Moon.

4:39

The to problems that I have: I

4:41

love the big phone because you get

4:43

more on it and that can be

4:45

information or for watching videos and stuff

4:47

like that like a rigid like it.

4:49

but the phone is really big, like

4:51

it's really big and I sometimes I

4:53

see people using the profile know Mike

4:55

looks nicer to use like it looks

4:57

like it's nicer to hold but there

4:59

are features that the pro max gets.

5:02

That. The pro phone doesn't and it seems

5:04

like that they're gonna be doing some

5:06

interest and for the cameras again. And

5:08

I've actually really liked having the as

5:10

they call it the tetra prism lens

5:12

like the bigger zoom like. I've actually

5:15

enjoyed that more than I thought. And

5:17

the room as this year suggests that

5:19

the pro phones will now get this

5:21

lens that will have the longer zoom

5:23

of he's five time soon but that

5:25

the Pro Max phone would get an

5:27

even longer than. South

5:29

other now. But I'm gonna think about this

5:31

now though, actually, Like as we lead

5:33

up towards September. Is

5:35

it time for me to consider making a

5:37

big change with my devices? I feel like

5:40

I will have a good idea by then

5:42

of like the changes I'd make him recently.

5:44

Like how they make me feel and I'm

5:46

gonna use hear about that to help me

5:48

make a decision. As to every bump down

5:50

to Small says it's interesting point it wouldn't

5:52

have occurred to me but I think you

5:54

should maybe noodle on a smaller nodal. actually.

5:56

Real possibility of your life. Are you still

5:58

use in the peak design cases? Yeah. Look

6:00

at the peak design case as the

6:02

said last time like this is my

6:04

just perfect case. Couldn't possibly love it

6:06

more as got the little strap on

6:08

the back so that I can the

6:10

whole a more easily as a my

6:12

sort of pop socket replacements scott the

6:14

physical connector that I use with my

6:16

bike. I feel like I just couldn't

6:19

ask for anything better with this case.

6:21

Oh and also are going to get

6:23

a real i shout out to be

6:25

designed because if we had a conversation

6:27

last year about the absolute horror that

6:29

must be to. Be in the manufacturing

6:31

of phone cases and we're live.

6:33

We swore like cortex Brad will

6:35

never ever make a phone case

6:37

and heat design got hits real

6:40

bad so hard own case so

6:42

we have a problem in the

6:44

action button yep where. They.

6:46

Took a gamble that having a

6:48

cut out for the action button

6:50

would be fine and it was

6:52

not fine. I was not fine

6:55

at all and like they're great

6:57

company. I felt so bad for

6:59

them. But yes, they did a

7:01

remarkably good job of keeping customers

7:03

happy about I was like as

7:05

Felix so awful for that. Like

7:07

you took a reasonable gamble, it

7:09

didn't pay off and now you've

7:12

got a ton of customers with

7:14

the phone case where they can't.

7:16

Use the new feature of the action

7:18

buttons just physically can't reach that. A

7:20

two stage roll out which I was

7:22

actually quite impressed with where they three

7:24

d printed a little button that they

7:26

would send out to customers were you

7:28

could put it under the case and

7:30

then it could act as action button

7:32

and hit the button there and if

7:34

he didn't want that, you could just

7:36

swap your case for the new version

7:38

where they put the button on the

7:40

case itself which is what I ended

7:42

up doing. We really foreshadowed and Law

7:44

says the way that then year. Was gonna

7:46

go and yeah I fear there a lot of

7:49

companies and some were doing it better than others

7:51

I think. peak. Did one of

7:53

the best possible things they could have done

7:55

right and like they took the gambled they

7:57

took it didn't pay off because the the

7:59

experience of prey the about Mutharika our is

8:01

not very good and day you know she

8:03

say they they handled it. They now have

8:05

a version with a button that spill into

8:07

the case. The same is is it with

8:09

the volume buttons bought. The cost

8:12

aggravation in the hassle of that whole

8:14

ordeal must have been pretty large yet

8:16

again now running a company that deals

8:18

with inventory and and all of that

8:20

I just that the logistics nightmare of

8:22

out this bust a bit like I

8:24

was just thinking the of physical sorting

8:26

of all of these tidy three be

8:28

printed buttons and sending them off to

8:30

people like our god you poor guys

8:32

like doing a great job with as

8:34

but what a nightmare them as to

8:36

bid for people I'm still no case

8:39

so use in the max safe pop

8:41

socket but. I am now a Mag

8:43

Safe Charger Patrol talk about later on in

8:45

the episode. So I use the Max A

8:47

Pop Zoc it now and I use that

8:50

because I'm pop it off and pop my

8:52

phone on charges. The standby mode and I

8:54

was seventeen really kind of solidified me using

8:56

wireless charging, have a cable charging and Molson

8:59

other Us B C cycle had to make

9:01

a change. So I made a change. And

9:03

I've got wireless charging ever with Oh God.

9:05

I completely forgot that this was the year

9:08

with the Us B C change. However, I

9:10

yeah. I forgot because I

9:12

just never plugged the phoned in ever so

9:14

it's as didn't even occur to me but

9:16

of course I wanna things every like about

9:18

it is like that's how I can get

9:20

a real far side of whole into as

9:22

well because I have a lot of us

9:25

B C powerful charging bricks to plug my

9:27

phone and they exist like straight up name

9:29

and above much faster than the wireless charging

9:31

and I love it for that reason of

9:33

I have U S B C charges in

9:35

various places in the house, had lots of

9:37

If products and now my I phone slot

9:39

into that and so I guess this is

9:41

exactly. What I wanted us B C

9:43

charging on the phone to do and

9:45

I'm so happy that Apple finally added

9:47

us that we all just have to

9:50

wait for us. B C Pro Max

9:52

Headphones right like that with the last

9:54

thing Now come on, this is my

9:56

one lightning cable of have provided for

9:58

a while Apple. What. I'm using

10:00

an Apple Watch Ultra series to now

10:03

so of move from the series seven

10:05

to the series to for this year

10:07

and I've really like it. I.

10:09

Had to kind of abandon the idea

10:11

of trying to make my apple watch

10:13

look as aesthetically pleasing as I could

10:15

like out. Always choose a watch face

10:17

the i liked the look of liver

10:19

it was typographic be nice or it

10:21

was a cool like basically analog looking

10:23

watch face because on the a portal

10:26

to to the others in my opinion

10:28

really look that good because the screen

10:30

so large and so what I decided

10:32

to do was embrace the apple watch

10:34

out for for what it's supposed to

10:36

be which is. A. Computer.

10:39

Yeah. And. So now I

10:41

use the Modular Ultra watch

10:43

face with just like. A

10:46

bunch of complications like I've whether calendar,

10:48

medications, timer, a fitness like I just

10:50

put it all on Their and my

10:52

My Apple watch now is much more

10:54

usable for me than any other watch

10:56

has been because I have the things

10:58

I'm doing the most to right there

11:00

on the face of you. The home

11:02

screen at the watch? Yeah, And

11:04

I Love the battery life. My God the battery

11:06

life on this thing Is. Superb.

11:09

Yeah. The. Aesthetics of the Ultra

11:11

watch or a bit like a pip

11:13

boy on your wrist is just like

11:16

very big Very tank he adds yeah

11:18

you're leaning into making a do the

11:20

thing that it does and yes it's

11:22

We have this conversation last year. I've

11:24

also switched to be Apple Watch Ultra.

11:26

I see we were both hoping for

11:28

a dog one that they did not

11:30

do. So they are still in the

11:32

titanium color so I'm surprised that you

11:35

change what made you move. The thing

11:37

that made me move was that big

11:39

screen, yet it's just. A thing like

11:41

I had not seen it in person

11:43

and when I saw it in person

11:45

for the first time I just like

11:48

I cannot resist this. It really does

11:50

have that like. Almost.

11:52

Retro tech aesthetic with the silver and the

11:54

chunky this of it and that their things

11:57

that I do not love about that design

11:59

but. My. Number One

12:01

feature. Request For years with the Apple

12:03

watches that we've been like the biggest

12:05

one you will make. I will buy.

12:07

I just want the screen bigger. Love

12:09

it! And the thing that I did

12:11

not expect to love as much as

12:14

I do which will also be incredibly

12:16

hard to ever move away from his

12:18

would you just said as well. The

12:20

battery life. My god I like having

12:22

that extra wiggle room for battery life

12:24

is. So nice. Like not

12:26

having to always be running a little

12:28

timer in the back of my head

12:30

of like when am I going to

12:33

charge the apple wants to day the

12:35

ability to go like two days without

12:37

having to charge it is just so

12:39

much nicer. So I've ended up setting

12:41

up this like little system on my

12:43

Apple watch where there's enough what complication

12:46

it's called like apple juice or like

12:48

Zeus phone or I don't know what

12:50

it as as like it's a little

12:52

complication on my Apple watch that I

12:54

use in sleep. Mode and it's a

12:56

notification for the battery level on the

12:59

watch and so it's like I have

13:01

it set of like hey, if sleep

13:03

mode turns on and the watch is

13:05

at thirty percent or less. Just like,

13:08

send me a little notifications and I

13:10

can try to charge it up a

13:12

bit before evening. But the thing that's

13:14

really nice is like even if I

13:17

miss that notification, thirty percent battery on

13:19

the Apple watch is still a lot

13:21

like on that Ultra. It's good sales

13:23

watch. Yes, Juice Watch. Thank you.

13:25

That's sort of as as the apple Juice.

13:27

I don't doubt there's something about Cameo Close.

13:29

The meanness gonna were gone for they. I

13:31

figure at some point in the future you

13:33

know Apple is going to do a major

13:36

redesign of the regular watch and. The

13:39

only thing I'm gonna wanna now as I

13:41

could tell me about the battery life at

13:43

is the screen bag. ah no I'm really

13:45

worried about it. is there room as as

13:47

as you say some point the next couple

13:50

years this that let me like the Apple

13:52

Watch x. right? Yeah, And.

13:55

I'm worried that like the battery life

13:57

as a regular and I'm used to

13:59

now. Needing to charge my watch like

14:01

two days, the only change that it's made

14:03

with the battery life which it took me

14:06

a while to realize is. When.

14:08

We talked last time about having wireless charger is

14:10

a have a bunch of random wireless charges all

14:12

around the house and they're often these three and

14:14

ones where you can just pop the watch and

14:16

your headphones on the phone on them and it

14:18

always just like. Bought. Whatever off

14:21

of Amazon because it didn't really

14:23

matter. but turns out it does

14:25

matter with the Apple Watch that

14:27

you get one that can actually

14:29

do this fast charging because yeah

14:31

boy the slow charge on the

14:33

Apple Watch Ultra is a noticeable

14:35

problem but ended up getting the

14:37

twelve south like three and one

14:39

charger because it does fast charging

14:41

for the watch and so the

14:43

to places where I am where

14:45

I'm going to charge the watch

14:47

most frequently. I like that I

14:49

like I can't. Just have some like

14:51

random thing off of Amazon eighty something that

14:53

can guarantee it does the fast charge the

14:55

hits fix for ever with like a regular

14:58

Apple was charger to charge up that Ultra

15:00

for like out our dad I need to

15:02

bring out the big guns here like thank

15:04

you Twelve South I get that Apple watch

15:06

Ultra charge that Which one is that is

15:09

that the stand one that a bedside. Oh.

15:12

Is it for the travel? It is the stand

15:14

One of I got the stand ups spot for

15:16

at the phone set. The one that I went

15:18

with. Big. Chunky charger for

15:20

the Apple Watch ultra. Love

15:23

it! So much more than I

15:25

expected in spite of by many

15:27

reservations about the way that it

15:30

looks and also a sort of

15:32

like a don't deserve a watch

15:34

that is this much of an

15:36

outdoorsy person kind of Watches like

15:38

I have no need for anything

15:40

That it does was also part

15:42

of my hesitation, but no regrets

15:44

on that purchase. It's great, I

15:47

just use my watch for it's

15:49

intended. Purpose didn't have been a hiking

15:51

weekend with friend of the show. underscore,

15:53

Will Smith. And you

15:56

know, we hiked said like ten miles

15:58

a day for two days. Doing

16:00

a workout the entire time and dumber. plus

16:02

plus like really going for in the Lake

16:05

District. It was fantastic and I felt like

16:07

I've really use the Watchful What it is

16:09

made for because the in a Davis. A

16:11

very keen hiker and and he makes but

16:14

on a Plus plus as well as Will

16:16

Smith and he's built like route features a

16:18

mapping features into been On a Plus Plus

16:20

so you can use it as a walk

16:23

out amp and the good part of that

16:25

is if you have the map loaded up

16:27

on the watch if you start work out

16:29

on. The what than the app stays

16:31

open. Because. His in a

16:34

walk? Oh right, right for the map.

16:36

the I'm using for my route is

16:38

always visible on my wrist when I

16:40

raise it. Mumbling, Into reopen

16:42

the up over over over again so that

16:44

what really was pretty fantastic for hiking and

16:46

I feel like I've really use my apple

16:49

watch for what it was made for. You

16:51

actually earned at the I and it. Just

16:54

one time you're gonna be deep sea diving

16:56

with an apple watch any moment now. yeah

16:58

some I think Stephen said to me like

17:01

the dive really good for checking the temperature

17:03

of a bath. definitely intended use case no

17:05

change in my wallet I'm assuming probably similar

17:07

feeble find out I think is the episode

17:10

will go on. You understand how just how

17:12

deep in the bag I am for Bell

17:14

right now like even more so than before

17:17

and I'm still using the Bowery Cod sleeve

17:19

which I think the me. I

17:21

would. Like to never owned a novel

17:23

wallet like I would just keep buying this

17:25

one over and over again because it just

17:27

carries small amount of cause tiny amount of

17:30

cash has that little thing that you pull

17:32

off on the cause pop out like this

17:34

is a perfect wallet for me. is very

17:36

thin, very slim and forces me to carry

17:38

the minimum amount of stuff that I should

17:41

carry. I wish for a time. When.

17:44

I don't because all and we're getting closer

17:46

and closer. Think it is so rare that

17:48

I actually use a card to pay for

17:51

something because the Apple pay limits got increase

17:53

during covered. To. Like adding like two

17:55

hundred and fifty pounds a transaction. Something so

17:57

like the times and I actually need Michael.

18:00

The is basically zero times I would

18:02

love to get to the point where

18:04

I'm never carrying a wallet yeah and

18:06

that's why am I put cast behind

18:09

my phone between the case and and

18:11

the phone itself because suggests the number

18:13

of times I really need by actual

18:16

wallet is very very small them it's

18:18

really just when I'm doing traveling I

18:20

take the wallet but. I. Bet

18:22

even if I'd track his upcoming year with

18:25

Travel South. I bet if I track, how

18:27

many times do I actually me that the

18:29

real card from my wallet is not gonna

18:31

be zero, but it is getting very close

18:34

to zero. Like I just don't need to

18:36

do this at the i'd love to get

18:38

rid of the wallet site com. Years.

18:40

Ago when Apple said something about like were

18:43

focusing on like getting rid of the wallet

18:45

and replacing everything with your phone. I was

18:47

like ah music to my years of ammo

18:49

like Godspeed in that quest every once in

18:51

awhile I I rechecked to be like the

18:53

North Carolina doing that thing with driver's licenses

18:55

were you can put the driver's license on

18:57

your phone and like are not yet but

18:59

I like. I cannot wait until the bubble

19:01

earth like one more card in the phone

19:03

might get a closer and closer. This.

19:06

To use the cats gag? Yeah,

19:08

but so my wallet is still

19:10

the one from last year. The

19:12

metal wallets that I really liked

19:14

that has the air tag holder

19:16

and it's really like that so

19:18

that hasn't changed. A haven't addition

19:20

that I put into that while

19:22

it down which is a little

19:24

product which is called the Pocket

19:26

Tripod by a company called Geometrical.

19:28

It's a credit card sized piece

19:30

of plastic that he can put

19:32

in your wallets. And. Then it

19:34

folds into being a perfect little i phone

19:36

stands Look at this thing. Yeah it sounds

19:38

like kind of a gimmick. It's a little

19:40

bit like when you have a you get

19:42

a Swiss army knife edge you think like

19:44

I was a full of gimmicks. like when

19:46

am I going to you the things that

19:48

he got like I'll actually all the time.

19:50

I like the moment you have it is

19:52

start using a lot and so since I'm

19:54

really only taking my wallet with me when

19:56

I'm traveling said like when I was in

19:58

America had my way. It

20:01

is in those environments where I'm just much

20:03

more likely to want to prop up the

20:05

phone for like an impromptu face time call

20:07

somewhere or just to be able to take

20:10

like a picture of my wife and I

20:12

in a location is one other thing that

20:14

the moment you have it I find like

20:16

oh, actually do use this enough that it's

20:18

worthy of taking up a slot in the

20:21

wall itself. The physical wallet has not changed,

20:23

but I added this in one of the

20:25

little credit card slots. This to me. Looks

20:28

like a. Product Testify and much

20:30

Apple backpack? Yeah yeah, Travel back. I

20:32

could be a good spot for it

20:34

as well. What an incredibly complicated looking

20:37

product! This, It's pretty

20:39

wild. This thing. It looks more complicated

20:41

than it actually is. Like when you

20:43

have it, you just. Twist.

20:45

It once and fold it once and it's

20:47

right it and in place. but it does

20:49

look like a weird credit card transformer robot

20:52

to make a stand for your phone but

20:54

is really well. Belts are highly recommend. It.

20:57

Airports. Pro to them. I have found

20:59

a choice that hasn't changed. Still love

21:01

them! Can I wanted to add two

21:03

things that I've ordered but have not

21:05

received. Program so. One

21:08

is a bell re slang.

21:11

For. when I'm traveling. But. It's like

21:13

a very small one is basically to like

21:15

put my phone and my sunglasses and stuff

21:17

and it's effect. Pack for your shoulders what

21:20

you got look You know I'm not getting

21:22

into this against rice figure for the for

21:24

the fit we have to believe it. so

21:27

no but we've been here before. bleeping. It

21:29

is what causes the problem like you're doing

21:31

the thing. It's got a named the Navy

21:33

Sling that's what people call them because or

21:36

where it goes it goes across your body

21:38

rights but it's a shoulder sling but at

21:40

the at that's a pack for your shoulder.

21:42

showed. Us like we already had that name's

21:44

you only said it because you knew I

21:46

would get upset and then I have to

21:48

believe it so you can't blame me or

21:50

I got blame yourself and I'm I'm still

21:52

gonna blame you but okay yes of the

21:54

of looking at the products so of go

21:56

into these because I think this will be

21:58

good for traveling. Get to think

22:01

you could be like a good little product for that. and

22:03

then on though. And. Eden his sunglasses.

22:06

And I thought to myself, wanna get the

22:08

sunglasses of the Cameron them. So.

22:10

I have ordered. The. And

22:12

Ray Ban matter? Wayfarers. What

22:15

Is this mindset? Ray.

22:17

Ban a matter of come together and they

22:19

made this product. It is a pair of

22:21

Ray Bans it looked like a bar ravens

22:23

save a cameron them ago and they have

22:26

like speakers in them. You. Can play

22:28

music from them, you can speak to them, you

22:30

can take pictures of them, and they're also integrating

22:32

the Ai stuff so you can look at a

22:34

thing and say what is that. I'm.

22:36

Intrigued about this product because I'm

22:39

not sure I really want any.

22:41

these features bought. This

22:43

is the best looking wearable that exists

22:46

in the market today. Because.

22:48

It just looks like a pair of Ray Bans

22:50

and I really want to try it out because.

22:52

Like in the way that we try

22:54

out the quest pro. Okay, I'm

22:57

at the Quest Probe. It's library.

22:59

23:04

one is a stay at the Op.

23:06

I'm very intrigued. I need new sunglasses

23:09

anyway so wanna give Mcguffey you're getting

23:11

these to try out. And a I

23:13

wearable the correct as hearing. yeah because

23:16

everyone I didn't hear talk about these

23:18

things has nothing but good things to

23:20

say about. and really yes, ah. This

23:23

is the first I'm hearing of his products

23:25

aka the product works and you. Don't.

23:28

Look like a doofus wearing them. Because.

23:30

They are the same design as

23:33

Ray Bans. They have slightly thicker

23:35

arms. But. That's like not a thing that

23:37

you would notice. And they have

23:39

cameras on them which you can take

23:41

decent photos and videos with the have

23:43

speakers and you can listen to Apple

23:45

Music, Spotify, or whatever new of the

23:47

24:20

onto which is like something that. That.

24:22

square space But I support this shove a

27:10

relapse them. Or at

27:12

least move on to work stuff. I'm expecting

27:14

computers. they're probably hasn't been much. Wow this

27:17

movie. no change in my life. My daily

27:19

machine is of and to map okay. Plugged.

27:21

Into the Studio display. My recording

27:24

computer is a Macbook Pro M

27:26

One Max Macbook Pro. I have

27:28

a Dell and Lg dislikes I

27:30

have to displays and I'm just

27:32

reusing these displays until they're no

27:34

longer usable. I'm waiting for updates

27:36

to. Apple's. Pro Lines I

27:38

got. My eventual ideal is a Mac

27:41

Studio and I'm waiting for them to

27:43

read that again now before I make

27:45

the investments and potentially wait to see

27:47

if they do anything more and displays.

27:49

The only real change I made to

27:52

my kind of computer stuff is I

27:54

got a Cowl Digit Doc this year

27:56

to replace. The. Odor B C Doc

27:58

that I have. I like. A lot

28:00

more. A lot more posts, a

28:03

lot more options, so I recommend

28:05

that. Kind of like the rock

28:07

solid Thunderbolt for doc. Them.

28:10

And it's been very, very reliable for

28:12

me. What's your reasoning for the waiting

28:14

for the Apple Studio? Liquid you thinking

28:16

them while. I wanna move to the

28:18

Max Cdr because I have learned that. The. Best

28:20

thing for this machine where record on

28:22

my podcast is just to have a

28:24

desktop for x. I've been using a

28:26

laptop as a desktop and has been.

28:28

This is pure land. I also want

28:31

to eat As much as I liked

28:33

the cow digit, I won all of

28:35

my stuff to be plugged into my

28:37

computer, not through a dog into the

28:39

computer for just removing any possible reliability

28:41

issues. but now there is going to

28:43

be a revision chip wise to the

28:45

Max Studio probably within the next twelve

28:47

months. I'm not desperate to make the

28:49

change. I will wait until I

28:51

can buy into the next chip generation whatever

28:53

that's gonna be for the computer so we'll

28:56

just have a longer life. Because

28:58

I am having. Absolutely zero performance

29:01

issues of an M One Max.

29:03

That. There's no point moving to the

29:06

M to Max Studio. Which. Is

29:08

whether out right now. They're gonna

29:10

get to three or four at some point soon,

29:12

I would expect within the next few months. So

29:15

I will wait until they do that and

29:17

then consider buying one. So. I'm just

29:19

getting the longest life. Elvis? Yeah yeah every other

29:21

generation for the chip feels like it makes sense.

29:23

I forgot how much I owe was on the

29:25

back of the Apple studio. I don't know what

29:28

I think of my head like lots of Apple

29:30

stuff with like others two points on the back

29:32

but now they actually do have a lot of

29:34

I owe them so I guess that makes sense.

29:36

Yeah I could run everything that I have. Directly.

29:39

Into the Computer yeah that is the dream

29:41

I say looking at my own cal digit

29:44

interface. the I'd like all of the have

29:46

a safe yes it's the colors of he

29:48

always be born Everyone not I know that

29:50

has the most severe just loves the my

29:52

studio and I feel like now I fully

29:54

understand the computers that I needed my life

29:56

and that's what I'd knee. I just need

29:58

a reliable desktops and one I'm happy about

30:00

now though his and the reason I'm willing

30:02

to make this change is I think Apple's

30:04

made itself very clear of. It

30:06

has and believes in at least a

30:08

dozen mack who write that is an

30:10

attached to a monitor directly. There.

30:13

Is an option for people which is powerful

30:15

and the have multiple options right? the many

30:17

and the studio. And I guess the Mac

30:19

pro they believe in that they have mana

30:21

is of their own right and I think

30:24

that's what I'm looking for for this computer

30:26

which I want to basically never change. you

30:28

know like that's what I want from my

30:30

recording gear. like set it up and never

30:32

touch it and I think that the my

30:34

studio will give me that when I eventually

30:37

moved to an audio gear assume is mostly

30:39

the same Muslim yet so my microphone is

30:41

the norm and Camus one of. Five years

30:43

be pre to is my audio interface.

30:46

I recommend products by the sound devices

30:48

people. I don't recommend this one. When.

30:51

I bought this one ten years ago.

30:54

It. Was like the best thing that

30:56

his company made many is rock solid

30:58

and I love sound devices name of

31:00

the company because they make really great

31:02

hop way that doesn't require software. And

31:05

now they have a line called the Mix

31:07

Pre series which are less expensive and actually

31:09

have more features. So if you were going

31:12

to buy one of these today, that's what

31:14

I'd recommend. Although I wouldn't really recommend buying

31:16

one of these are all. I'd recommend getting

31:18

a good Us B, C microphone for most

31:21

people, but this is where I am now.

31:23

This is my best months and I used

31:25

a bad and am A T T Seven

31:27

Seventy Pro headphones which are incredibly comfortable take

31:30

it from a guy who wears headphones sometimes

31:32

six hours. Yeah. Since last year

31:34

my home office set up is like

31:36

basically completely been changed over the moved

31:38

around a new the equipment is where

31:40

the things have a kind of hoped

31:43

the timing did not work out for

31:45

this year's state of the hardware because

31:47

us as we discussed last year at

31:49

like others as conflict between like your

31:51

calendar and your to do list of

31:54

feel like have a real boy it's

31:56

like a family of travel at illness

31:58

as like sucks up my calendar and

32:00

just roy my to do list and

32:02

I was hoping by this time it's

32:04

you like. Have. An office

32:07

outside of the home. but it just

32:09

like it has hasn't worked out timing

32:11

wise though Because of that, I like

32:14

chains. literally nothing in my actual home

32:16

office. Because I'm like I'm mentally thinking

32:18

about what the next set up would

32:21

be. Yeah, but in the mean time

32:23

while I've been trying to think about

32:25

we're might want to work, what might

32:28

I want my day to look like?

32:30

I have been going back to my

32:32

roots as a kind of itinerant workers

32:35

out in the. World going to

32:37

different locations with my little backpack

32:39

and my little office set up.

32:42

So I do now have a

32:44

sort of mobile office set up

32:46

that I have put together which

32:49

completely didn't exist last year. So

32:51

one of the things I was

32:53

waiting for was I was waiting

32:56

for the new M Three math

32:58

book airs because I wanted to

33:01

get the sistine and so on

33:03

to get the bigger screen. So

33:05

this. Is now my like I'm going

33:08

out in the world and working laptop.

33:10

Is gonna sound kind of crazy,

33:12

but. Having the Vision Pro

33:14

actually made me realize like oh I

33:16

want a bigger screen on a laptop

33:18

that I'm working on the thirteen and

33:20

she pretty cramped. The thirteen inch is

33:22

pretty crabs yeah and when I realize

33:24

as like oh, the Vision Pro is

33:27

really good and lots of situations that

33:29

like sucking up a really intense writing

33:31

time and so like if that has

33:33

sucked up a bunch of my intense

33:35

writing time. I was previously using the.

33:38

Thirteen. Inch screen for like that

33:40

is good if I am only writing

33:42

a script, but the moment I'm doing

33:44

like. Two. Things at once like

33:46

with the current projects like oh, I have a

33:48

complicated flow chart and research that I want on

33:50

half of the screen and and I want the

33:52

script on the other half of the screen. That's

33:54

not something I'm going to do on the vision

33:56

pro. I'm gonna do that like on a computer

33:59

with an actual screen. The and a thirteen into

34:01

like it's just too small. It's just too

34:03

small if it's a serious amount of information

34:05

on the screen at once. So I got

34:07

a fifteen inch M three and look like

34:09

the thirteen inch better. I think that's the

34:11

most perfect laptop that they've ever built, but

34:13

I'm happier to have the bigger screen if

34:15

it's like now, I'm going out for the

34:17

day and I'm going to do a bunch

34:19

of work. And that beans like it can

34:21

mean writing in the morning and admin in

34:24

the afternoon as like out I just need

34:26

a bigger screen for this one. But the

34:28

key thing that really works here in like.

34:30

I've. Never loved with the

34:33

bigger laptops. the distance

34:35

between. The keyboard and the

34:37

screen. and like the front ends of

34:39

the actual laptop itself I was feel

34:41

like my watch is always just hitting

34:43

that like edge of the laptop at

34:45

the exactly wrong I bought. if I'm

34:47

trying to type on that as a

34:49

keyboard is set to fall back it's

34:51

too far back. Yeah like if it

34:53

was up to me I would bring

34:55

that keyboard like much more towards the

34:57

front. I wouldn't want to have it

34:59

as far back. So the

35:01

thing that I have done to here's

35:04

my little says I've got the bigger

35:06

laptop and then with it I have

35:08

this little thing called Next Stand Laptop

35:11

Stand and so this is like a

35:13

tiny laptop stand that can fit in

35:15

your backpack. I used to have one

35:17

of these. I did you?

35:20

Yeah, the exact same one? yeah

35:22

I had. that is this exact

35:24

one? Yeah yeah, it's pretty goods.

35:26

like being able to sit somewhere

35:28

and elevate the laptop. Even just

35:30

a little makes a huge ergonomic

35:32

difference. and then I'm not going

35:34

to use the actual keyboard that

35:36

is on laptop anymore. Why? was

35:38

looking around as like what's the

35:40

best Keyboards has in a backpack

35:42

and so this then goes along

35:44

with the T Cron Keys seven

35:46

which is a low profile keyboard

35:48

and then. I've gotten with the brown

35:50

switches. I tried this keyboard years and

35:52

years ago when I was using the

35:54

blue switches and I hated it. But

35:57

since then I've moved away from the

35:59

beloved cookie keys to the softer brown

36:01

switches, partly for Rs I. Reasons Good:

36:03

The brown switches require less pressure to

36:05

hits and like I was starting to

36:07

have some like Rs I again and

36:09

switching the switches did make a difference.

36:12

Still tactile but not clichy as a

36:14

you've got with brown rather than blue.

36:16

Yeah, exactly like it still feels like

36:18

I'm using a mechanical keyboard and but

36:20

like every single one of them isn't

36:22

allowed as possible. Click and I feel

36:24

like I don't know. The low profile

36:27

keyboard with these brown switches is just

36:29

much better. Raised cannot

36:31

find a better keyboard that

36:33

is. A mechanical keyboard

36:35

that I can still take with me

36:37

that light enough for travel. It also

36:39

comes with a gates. Absolutely perfect little

36:42

travel case that I highly recommend. Said

36:44

that you don't accidently knock any of

36:46

the keys off in your backpack so

36:48

that and then along with or the

36:50

last piece of equipment here is key

36:52

cron. also has a mouse which is

36:54

an M Seven wireless mouse. That.

36:56

I got because it is. Really

36:59

easy light. I do not know how

37:01

they made a mouse that is like

37:03

this lights and can also be used.

37:06

Ambidextrous least I can switch hands with.

37:08

it's so this is like my home

37:10

office hasn't changed but I now have

37:12

This is like my little portable off

37:14

as that goes with me. I have

37:17

a potential keyboard recommendation for you but

37:19

the department is not available yet but

37:21

it's coming soon Like the had a

37:23

preorder and now they're They get reduced

37:26

I shipping. Said. What am

37:28

I looking for is called the

37:30

Mana K M O N of

37:32

K E I Systems Keyboard. And.

37:34

It is a. Imagine Apple

37:36

made a low profile keyboard that you could

37:39

might take with us and forth to the

37:41

one with the little knob. Yeah, but you

37:43

don't have to have that. Are

37:45

you can choose to have something else on

37:47

that spots And they have a lot different

37:50

key cap options and colors including like an

37:52

all black wanna they have one which are

37:54

the Cupertino Silver is gonna get what they're

37:56

going for. that yeah and it looks pretty

37:59

similar in size. Anything is I'm not sure

38:01

about the weight difference between that looks on. B

38:04

curious I looked and it's like the

38:06

difference is like a millimeter really occur

38:08

but it this looks like an overall

38:10

i think nice a package. The. I'm

38:13

gonna put a pin in this one. we can

38:15

maybe say ooh I actually have encouraged to few

38:17

friends to buy this who were looking at it

38:19

and so we'll see what they think when they

38:21

get it to over there. are you going to

38:23

buy one mike so I can try your I

38:25

have not for he ordered one but it was

38:28

always a point that when they became on general

38:30

order that I would buy one of these because

38:32

I think it is a very interesting looking products

38:34

and I don't have any low profile keyboards and

38:36

I've been intrigued about trying that out because there

38:38

is a bit of a resurgence with quality eat

38:40

low profile switches. I sort of se measurement. Because

38:43

it just looks like it's physically. figure that

38:45

out. I like about the key chronos like

38:47

it does not waste a single bit of

38:49

space around border anything to this like the

38:52

keys must be smaller. Know the kids it

38:54

isn't in Fl like it'll be a very

38:56

strange thing to or. Get.

38:58

Your measurements wrong. A new website but I

39:00

know what you mean because I checked tells

39:02

like there's no way this is similar. Something's

39:04

gotta give though because of this has a

39:06

border and you're saying that the keys at

39:08

the same size. It's. Like of the

39:11

both of those things can't be true of the

39:13

game. Doesn't have a border line over if you

39:15

look at my profile of the key cron. The.

39:18

Top of the city's is exposed. But.

39:20

The side profile of the Mana K. They.

39:23

Have not exposed to solicit slightly. You're talking

39:25

about the height, but I'm talking about the

39:27

like, the length and the with of the

39:30

keyboard right like that. have yeah, glee, larger

39:32

Al Qaeda? Yes, it is definitely physically lodge

39:34

at. Yes, I was thinking about thinness more

39:37

than overall size. Yes, this will be a

39:39

little bit bigger that is for sure. But.

39:42

I. Think of what will it be in

39:44

quality of product in hotels to use.

39:46

I don't know if it will be

39:48

much different. Bus my thoughts if you

39:50

were intrigued about trying what I think

39:52

will be an overall higher quality product.

39:55

I. Reckon this is one but maybe

39:57

that isn't a concern for what your

39:59

look for for this keyboard. Maybe you

40:02

want a small list lightest thinnest which

40:04

I totally understand but this this is

40:06

there a recommendation of I had been

40:09

stay low profile mechanical keyboard scene. is

40:11

he not. Who's. Up there

40:13

will be more options than. The

40:16

key crunk boards and others which have been

40:18

very popular for good reason. Yeah,

40:20

that is interesting to know and like.

40:22

actually when I I got this originally

40:24

for travel Ali to keep in my

40:26

backpack is like than the office things

40:28

but I also ended up buying another

40:30

one to actually just to use at

40:32

my desk because it's like two things

40:34

I do like stuff being consistent swear

40:36

if I'm always just typing on the

40:38

same keyboard yeah but also I find

40:40

it more ergonomically comfortable to have the

40:42

low profile keep yard and access the

40:44

distance and I'm thinking of or to

40:46

get like when I move my hand

40:48

to the mouse like the vertical. Distance

40:50

that my hands to travel should be as

40:53

small as possible, and that's noticeably better with

40:55

the low profile keyboards. I'm pretty happy with

40:57

that. Yes, a low profile switches and a

40:59

low typing angle. That combo is

41:01

good for I thought I expect i don't know

41:03

this but that was it passes the sense check

41:05

for me. Fair the real turn around for me

41:07

on the keyboards like a try to do ago.

41:10

like this is garbage and I hated about like

41:12

out know us. I like it so much of

41:14

going to use it at my actual desktop even

41:16

though I don't need to. Lower. And

41:18

Keyboard Corner. My current keyboard of

41:20

choice is the Mode Sonnet. Keyboard.

41:23

But. I recommend As always any products

41:25

that Mode make from of use the the

41:28

Envoy in a tempo a different keyboards

41:30

and different sizes and lay outside like and

41:32

they currently are doing a preorder of a

41:34

new version of they Kibo Couldn't Sixty Five

41:37

which like an updated version of an existing

41:39

cable that they have. One of my

41:41

favorite things about Mode now which is definitely

41:43

different to last year. most that a products

41:45

are in stock and of able to ship

41:48

that does that are Fc Dallas madly

41:50

the yeah you can just go to the

41:52

website and you from by. A months on

41:54

it and you'll have it in a few days

41:56

or whatever. So yeah, I think they've and will

41:58

now think they offer bills. The thing like is

42:00

with for an additional costs like if you don't

42:03

want to build it yourself but. I. Recommend

42:05

with their keyboards is actually very easy to

42:07

build an every your guides and I think

42:09

it's really fun thing to build a keyboard

42:12

and the keyboards look really nice if a

42:14

very physically pleasing. They're beautiful the made so

42:16

while any have some a choice as you

42:18

can really customize them from materials and accents

42:21

and colors. So. A really really

42:23

recommend the stuff and consider you

42:25

already mentioned your mouse. My set

42:27

up is basically the same from

42:29

input devices. I use the combo

42:31

of the Logitech Mx Mazda Three

42:33

S which is the silent clicking

42:35

mouse which is great, the Apple

42:37

Magic Trackpad and the Way Com

42:39

into Else Pro My kind of

42:41

three devices that I used and

42:43

put on my Mac. Yeah,

42:46

you totally sold me on the and

42:48

Mcmaster Three Ass the silent version of

42:51

their mouth and I also decided to

42:53

standardize that just in my office as

42:55

well even though I don't need the

42:58

silent clicking at and my home office.

43:00

But again I like a consistent experience

43:02

and like you a hick. they're grew

43:05

over time to prefer the feel that

43:07

they have on the silent mouse click

43:09

if it's very satisfying. Felix Gray it

43:12

feels better. And why on

43:14

Earth, so I need to hear my

43:16

mouse like, "Why do I need to

43:18

hear the click and so if I

43:20

can get something that feels good?" Is

43:23

quieter. Why would I not go for

43:25

that? I've also added in mind going

43:27

to rotate in stuff doesn't put my

43:30

hands. One of the things ever added

43:32

into the rotation is the lodge attack

43:34

list. so it's one of these vertical

43:36

mice and Roka. And it's

43:39

pretty gets. It's got a basically silent

43:41

click and just puts your hand and

43:43

a vertical position to use a mouse,

43:45

so probably rotate that in like. Twenty

43:48

five percent of my computer abuse time.

43:50

Maybe thirty percent if I'm doing something

43:52

that is precision. based on I was

43:54

go back to be and Max Master

43:57

by the fastest. Like out light admin

43:59

work or what. Several swap it out for

44:01

the Amex lifts, just put my head in a

44:03

different position. not ambidextrous so I can't use it's

44:05

with the left hand but it's good to have

44:07

one more thing in the rotation. I like they

44:10

make a left version. I know that they do

44:12

but I would like other going a by two

44:14

of these of just get of i one of

44:16

these expert they'll have one in pink some. If.

44:19

You want to paint mouse? they have dial

44:21

in and pink. I'll get pink for the

44:23

lefty at is it? I do think unless

44:25

they just like oh well that you've ruined

44:27

my dreams. You put in our notes here

44:29

that you wanted some travel audio gear recommendations

44:31

for me? Yeah, so I also did want

44:34

travel recommendations for you because. Travel

44:36

is ramping up for me. I'm actually

44:38

gonna be in a situation where I'm

44:40

going to need to record audio on

44:42

the road and I realized oh, because

44:45

of the timing of year of work

44:47

as a when was the last time

44:49

I had to record like audio for

44:51

a video out of the house like

44:54

I do too. And a half years

44:56

ago? I have no idea. so I

44:58

have not thought about. Audio.

45:00

On the road travel equipments I wanted

45:03

to know like what is your current

45:05

recommendation for best high quality. Still have

45:07

been traveling audio stuff so I will

45:09

tell you more I use but again

45:12

it's not what I recommend but to

45:14

so to stay of record so I

45:16

usually have the same microphone the Nyman

45:18

came as want to five I use

45:21

a Zoom hate Six interface because they

45:23

are effectively indestructible. I've been using my

45:25

soon for so long that the it

45:28

has a kind of soft touch rubber.

45:30

Which has gone sticky. But

45:32

the product works great. Still look at the like

45:34

it is outliving what it is made of. His

45:37

roommate Six is the one with a little Lcd

45:39

screen on the front and the one gallon. I.

45:42

Use a very small axilla cable. one day

45:44

I thought show their a small axilla cables.

45:46

Thera and I found one on Amazon site.

45:48

Hoffa me or it's fantastic. This is the

45:50

way to go Retire X like able a

45:52

sound of really good tiny mike stand from

45:55

friends of the show John boy he's I

45:57

was taking this mike standard had a weight

45:59

and a some. Okay, I'm carrying an

46:01

actual way in my suitcase. Stupid. That is

46:03

the thing that I was thinking about. He

46:05

was like this make stand that I have

46:07

weighs a ton that why am I doing

46:09

this? I hate it. and a little waited

46:11

plate but anything I'd found before that wasn't

46:13

stable enough. but this thing Johnson's me found

46:15

them on Amazon is called the Mike Top.

46:18

Think am I see Tfp? This is like

46:20

whatever brand that doesn't actually really exist. I

46:22

don't think, but it is a little telescopic

46:25

mike stand as a pretty good spike seat

46:27

on it so it doesn't move around the

46:29

very stable table. and I've used this now

46:32

for six months of use the on like

46:34

two or three trips and have been very

46:36

happy with this said itself. Tiny. I actually

46:38

can fit now my roommate six two x,

46:41

a lot cables or my mike's than all

46:43

in a tiny little wash bag. The I

46:45

bought. Which. Is fantastic. The.

46:47

My front of them fit in there, but actually

46:50

I want to get microphone separate isn't the case.

46:52

that's what I use. The

46:54

state of the art now I

46:56

think for travelling microphone now. We

46:59

are both not big fans of

47:01

these. Sure Sm Seven Bay. However,

47:05

Sure now make a U S

47:07

B C version of this product.

47:10

Or yeah, I just called the

47:12

Sure M V Seven. Plus you

47:14

can use this microphone ever in

47:16

Xlr or U S B C

47:19

version. This. Is I

47:21

think the product for the

47:23

minimal podcast professional. Who?

47:26

Wow, I never thought I would

47:28

hear you recommend something. Wii U,

47:30

S B C Interface? Ah okay

47:32

what are your thoughts? Were your

47:35

thoughts on this? I mean look,

47:37

would I prefer the Me and

47:39

or you travel with all of

47:41

the possible gear? Yes, but that's

47:43

not really achievable a lot of

47:45

the time and honestly can become

47:47

fatally I'd ever told you might.

47:50

but. The last time we were

47:52

recording is so when I was on a

47:54

Greek a Sin I had to run out

47:56

to go by an Xlr cable from the

47:58

only the Electron Store that was open on

48:01

a Monday morning where I was for this

48:03

exact thing of like L. I packed everything

48:05

with the interface by just. Didn't.

48:07

Have the cable as a guide to like I

48:09

was like a back and he mentioned anything to

48:12

make as if it's not a problem. he doesn't

48:14

need to Now yes but like the interface also

48:16

requires the cable as I hate us. So this

48:18

microphone. Is really good. Jason

48:20

uses one when he travels like Jason

48:22

uses an Sm seven. Be. So

48:25

Dmv seven plus as she does sound

48:27

different been massively I don't have an

48:29

issue with us. B C Microphones know

48:31

him and what has happened over time

48:34

is us B C microphones are us.

48:36

be like fans have improved. An

48:38

Xlr microphones a basic the state

48:40

the same which you understand but

48:42

as podcasting has become more more

48:45

more popular. So. Of these

48:47

kinds of products so this is what I

48:49

would recommend. Their other ones available. I think

48:51

of a U S B C Microphones. this

48:53

is probably the best one for you. Maybe

48:55

really. Think I'm wondering is just how big

48:57

it is because that sure S M seven

48:59

be as a real trunk. I saw that

49:01

big. I think that they did a decent

49:03

job. the it's smaller than the Us and

49:05

seven Be Earth if is not and the

49:08

exact size of the Sm. Seven Be. And

49:10

I can get rid of an interface and

49:12

the cable for the interface. Yes, that feels

49:14

like a trade off. I'd be happy to

49:16

make. Who is is intriguing recommendation as why

49:18

I would recommend this year. I mean of

49:20

course the issue here is the same of

49:22

most shovel gear is is not going to

49:24

be a shot mounts if you're banging on

49:26

the table, your bang and the microphone. but

49:28

does that a thing she's and kind of

49:30

just like deal with I do. I liked

49:32

it, has a low or L E d

49:34

panel bill into it to make sure that

49:36

you're not picking us. Actually that's a really

49:38

nice feature and so you. Smell

49:40

recommendation and this comes from cases. Use it as

49:42

and likes it when Jason records away from home

49:45

of the unlike. A hint that sounds good. it

49:47

doesn't sound like normal, but it sounds good. And

49:49

that I think for travel gear that's kind

49:52

of what you're looking for. and the the

49:54

minimal. If I didn't have. Extra.

49:57

Microphones, Like I have like. Three,

50:00

the I've acquired over time of my microphone. I

50:02

have one for here, one for trouble one and

50:04

in emergencies this is what I would use. and

50:06

I travel. I think. I'll

50:09

go for this because it's such a small

50:11

package for what you're getting that is a

50:13

really good recommendation. Actually I had it my

50:15

heart like the pre feeling of thinking of

50:17

my com I can tell me like a

50:19

bunch of finity stuff but this is actually

50:21

exciting to try and see if it can

50:23

work as a be great I'm actually just

50:25

happy that you came to me as opposed

50:27

to what like what he read then this

50:29

doing this on your and I would say

50:31

they make two versions of this product. They

50:33

also make the Mc seven. I recommend the

50:35

Mv seven plus because it is the newer

50:37

version which is. A valves and

50:39

a bunch of was. Some. That would be

50:42

met my to recommendation to that. So to get

50:44

the Mv seven plus over the M V seven

50:46

or cap will doom or give it a try

50:48

to let you know think you you mention the

50:51

pro earlier on. Me: I

50:53

guess Vr is part of the working

50:55

product. Line of the what products

50:57

I had to access or products are went

50:59

recommend the division Prompts I mean look for

51:02

me Vision Pro is the best the odds

51:04

are around like for while I want to

51:06

use feel for and I really enjoy use

51:08

my Vision Pro but I'm not necessarily going

51:11

to recommend Division pro but as more people

51:13

in the wall the going to start getting

51:15

Access Television Pro hero My to product recommendations

51:17

If you're going to use one you wanna

51:20

have a keyboard and trackpad. That.

51:22

Is for that device if you're not

51:24

intended, use it. You desk on a

51:26

time and so get an additional magic

51:28

keyboard and trackpad but then put them

51:30

in the twelve south magic Bridge which

51:32

essentially lox these two products together and

51:34

so you will. You have them like

51:36

lot together all times and it just

51:38

makes it easy for when you're using

51:40

the are you from but the thing

51:42

on your lap and you can ever

51:45

the time as very interesting. I also

51:47

I am realizing this is only things

51:49

I just never tried to do is

51:51

I didn't realize. You could connect the magic

51:53

trackpad to their vision pro or yeah, you

51:55

can have dedicated input devices for it. Because

51:57

I had tried to connect my mouse at

51:59

a game a message like we don't do

52:01

myself the work of mice, but lox attract

52:03

as. Really weird in my

52:06

opinion. I don't understand thinking that

52:08

kind of see it but I

52:11

would understand it if the. Literal

52:13

same featured didn't work in our panelists.

52:15

Oh right okay ah nevermind that is

52:18

the I thought oh s casa right

52:20

essentially which works with a mouse Wikipedia

52:22

I withdraw my previous statements ah the

52:24

Magic Prisoners as a clever little product

52:26

add a lot of also excited to

52:29

connect my tracks had some privacy proclaimed

52:31

as when they said no buys I

52:33

never dawned on me to try the

52:35

trackpad is like this should include that

52:37

in the air message attorney. In fact

52:39

that. Arrogant. Also a

52:42

three d Printed Vision prose

52:44

stand. That Federico found.

52:46

oh that's cool looking it is.

52:49

On Etsy. And. You can

52:51

choose and a bunch of from finishes and I

52:53

just put some double sided tape on the bottom

52:55

of the exits. Three the predators my heavy and

52:57

look into a cabinet where I keep my vision

53:00

pro and now she sits there on time ready

53:02

to go and it'll serve. really easy to keep

53:04

this in charge because you can actually rally you

53:06

Spc table in the nice. Thing.

53:09

About er en Massa look for an Isis

53:11

and I stand it. really does the job

53:13

rather important in the case taken out the

53:15

case didn't know, has like a a puzzle

53:18

place and I also like having the vision

53:20

pro out because it being out encourages me

53:22

to use it. I haven't actually. Tried.

53:24

This yes but it's a thing that I

53:26

have ordered and is on the way. I've

53:29

gone from my vision pro and other as

53:31

the product which is this a solo top

53:33

Things. I'm

53:35

getting this from all angles. Everyone I know

53:37

is using this product. Okay got so it's

53:39

such it it's just a big they would

53:42

you get the visit bro comes with the

53:44

two different headbands and say oh I thought

53:46

I would want the headband that goes over

53:48

the top of my head but it turns

53:50

like oh I hate it so much like

53:52

it induces a headache instantly. Sources. So the

53:54

solar loop. That. Is clearly the better

53:57

one it. But I've just constantly felt like.

54:00

Actually just want this is like us

54:02

three quarters mash over the back of

54:04

my head. The fact that it is

54:06

horizontal it's like it's it's obviously.great like

54:09

you what more that I can even

54:11

where I saw this but the moment

54:13

I saw like oh someone made his

54:15

attachments a huge hits for it's to

54:17

of the so low loops on the

54:20

vision pro I was like sold immediately

54:22

like this is what I actually once

54:24

and that the weight of the vision

54:26

pro is it's biggest problem as I

54:29

guess I wanted. This. Wide so low

54:31

band over the top of my head.

54:33

yeah it's more adjustable. There

54:35

is the solo knit banned in there is are

54:37

those your and band or whatever. I use the

54:39

dual one. that's what I always. yeah because they

54:42

know me. I find it very easy. I mean

54:44

us but I hear from lots of people that

54:46

they don't like when it feels. But for me

54:48

I don't have a problem with it. But I

54:50

am planning on trying out this solo top thing

54:53

at some point. The same the I will never

54:55

understand is why Apple did not make the ban

54:57

option that I use that doesn't have a D

54:59

C. When I tried it out to do something

55:02

different it was the sole of knit band with

55:04

a top strap. Ah ha. Imagine the

55:06

boat to the A offered to smash

55:08

them together. That's what they had available.

55:10

That's what we used. To you

55:12

had the flexibility in adjustability is one of the back

55:15

is his take on his take off. an easy to

55:17

just but he just sat on the top of your

55:19

head with the single shot. At

55:22

other one and and make that I think that

55:24

is the best possible products. but. They. Didn't

55:26

make shit so yeah I make is that

55:28

solo mid bad like. I find it much

55:30

more comfortable but you do have to really

55:32

crank it to be like a vice on

55:35

your head to hold the wait to get

55:37

like yes guys, that's how physics works. Like

55:39

gravity pulls down so I have to like

55:41

Babbitt real tight and just like the wide

55:43

this of it is what I want to

55:45

distribute the weight like that little strap on

55:47

the other one. I guess it is. It's

55:50

like instant migraine territory for me, so I

55:52

don't know. This might be one of the

55:54

most ridiculous purchases, but I am very excited.

55:56

To give it a try like it is

55:58

waiting for me in America. Like great!

56:00

Can't wait to see how this goes Only

56:02

ever but and I know is moving to

56:04

this option to say oh really okay with

56:06

another nominal to form a just have another

56:08

pigeon in this lock. A vision

56:10

prose live in our offices and in

56:13

our offices. The desks and chairs and.

56:15

I don't imagine desks and chairs change

56:18

very much. Mine of not. I think

56:20

we both still use a fully Jarvis

56:22

asks which are made by have a

56:24

Miller Now Something I wanted to recommend

56:27

is put the on your desk like

56:29

those mana shelf. I have one from

56:31

Grove made which I bought so my

56:33

Imac would be available but. Adding

56:36

that kind of like to t is,

56:38

I think is a really good thing

56:40

of adding stories here, desk and having

56:42

things available to you. When. I

56:44

next kind of. Design. A

56:46

working desk for myself from scratch. I'm thinking

56:48

of going for more of one of the

56:51

longer shells that have like little storage compartments

56:53

and than just a little stand that I

56:55

bought. So I to the is is like

56:57

a really good way of adding additional storage

56:59

and and flexibility to your desk is to

57:01

have like a monitor, sand or shelf that

57:04

goes on. yeah I always look at those.

57:06

I'm a bit tempted by them but. I

57:08

have fundamentally for me, I feel like it's

57:11

a little bit of. Clutter.

57:13

So yeah Ike I have. I'm it's

57:15

third Twelve south little monitor stand and

57:17

I like it cause you can like

57:19

put stuff inside of it but you

57:22

don't have to actually see it said

57:24

got some of the peripheral connections in

57:26

there but yeah I'm with you. I'm

57:28

still using the the fully is the

57:30

same tear his last year. The only

57:33

difference is thanks to your recommendation I

57:35

did eventually get the Atlas Penrose ahead

57:37

for adaptation for it's how did that

57:39

go. This is things I do like

57:41

it. It's definitely. An improvement like I'm

57:43

I'm happy to have it's the chair is

57:46

better with the headrest, but the problem is

57:48

it just makes me feel like what I

57:50

really want is a chair where this is

57:52

built as a single piece so that it

57:54

is a little bit sturdier and a little

57:56

bit like I can put more weight back

57:59

against it. Hello I'm here

58:01

to let you know about the

58:03

Herman Miller Van Gaming Chair. Say

58:06

actually did it are carrying They start

58:08

from zero A made a gaming tear.

58:10

Rather than take the and body and

58:12

change the colors. So. It's

58:14

a lot of the adjustability stuff that

58:16

you see and have a military but

58:18

it has and in bill headrest. Okay

58:20

I'm going to add this to the

58:23

list because I think when I have

58:25

actually do set up my office outside

58:27

of the house of going to need

58:29

a real chair that's the big problem

58:31

areas. Like others Atlas had rest is

58:33

good. Do I want to replace my

58:35

office chair at home? No I don't

58:37

like. it's such a hassle changing out

58:40

like the office chair. I just never

58:42

wanna do it. But yes okay. So

58:44

this is interesting. I will put this on my list

58:46

as like what chair said I try when I get

58:48

the office set up. Outside. The home

58:50

I will give this one a shot. A really

58:52

made me laugh and I saw this like other

58:54

member us or our blog would have been of

58:57

and holding onto it for a few months. They

58:59

pointing than an episode or is is so funny

59:01

to me where it was like they actually it's

59:03

all the things that we were talking about last

59:05

time they just did that chair in the end

59:07

likes you could see that like it was the

59:09

beginning of the relationship. rare in her own. Miller

59:12

and logitech was let's just adapt to chair and

59:14

Elvis he went well enough that they like. Okay

59:16

let's add to the. Soften, The

59:18

begin that's really do get the and so

59:20

I am pleased to say that they did

59:22

it because this it makes more sense like

59:24

for example the chair it has like a

59:27

mess back which makes and the longer gaming

59:29

sessions right like. Because. You're sitting in

59:31

your chair for hours. And. Not going

59:33

up. In theory, so

59:35

cycle as yeah, fi max more airflow

59:38

and the chair and the adjustments. They're

59:40

big and read and creepy. The.

59:42

Adjustment things they died she looks easier to

59:44

justice chair than the standard. Have a military

59:46

which are sheep. Turkey. To adjust.

59:48

I think that to make meaningful adjustments to

59:51

the chairs and a new yeah, a headrest

59:53

into her. And yeah, I think it just

59:55

looks like a well for our product for

59:57

the intended purpose. yeah of I like the

59:59

look. This is is better than the thing last

1:00:01

year which I I felt was a bit like a

1:00:04

kind of frankenstein, monkey or chair. So the get

1:00:06

this I'll be happy to give an actual try. Roommate:

1:00:08

maybe I'll go wild and get it in flair read

1:00:10

like a real game that funny because I was

1:00:12

gonna tell you they have an all black ones but

1:00:14

if you wanna get a read or maybe poll of

1:00:16

whites. oh okay I clicked pull the white and was

1:00:19

ready to be horrified. know the tears. Black is just

1:00:21

got one plastic around it as I don't get

1:00:23

a white chair that seems like a nightmare of yet.

1:00:25

I feel like that Polaroid colors the worst that the

1:00:27

only options are all black and flair. I read for.

1:00:30

The events last are going to be in

1:00:32

a nice boring office complex. Well have my

1:00:34

flair red hair or like that with about.

1:00:36

I. Wanted to recommend the products that I'm

1:00:38

user is talk about the price and music

1:00:40

while charging know I'm allowed to charge and

1:00:43

boy okay tell me what you're doing wireless

1:00:45

boy at two different products and amusing and

1:00:47

I used a studio Neat material dotson the

1:00:49

various forms over the years and they make

1:00:52

a couple of products that are essentially just

1:00:54

putting in embedding Apple's max if charges into

1:00:56

them. The one I like

1:00:58

about it for a home is they're mostly would.

1:01:01

And. That sits at the aesthetic of the bedroom.

1:01:03

I think a lot of these. Wireless

1:01:06

charging product specifically the loss of plastics

1:01:08

and metals and stuff which is not.

1:01:11

What? I want for like my bedside

1:01:13

table and so I really like that

1:01:15

these of mostly wooden products and so

1:01:17

I enjoy that. Plus is simple because

1:01:19

you can just embed the. Max.

1:01:21

A charges into exile. lot of products of

1:01:23

like is as Max safe or is it

1:01:25

to Yeah is it charging more slow laid

1:01:27

at dinner and I like that you can

1:01:30

just take what you have, put them into

1:01:32

this product and you had to go. And

1:01:34

if Apple change things over time you can

1:01:36

update the Mexico box or another but there

1:01:38

is a number product that I use own

1:01:40

I mean right now to charge my phone

1:01:42

while I'm recording with you and to have

1:01:44

my phone and stab I mode so I

1:01:47

can see my time tracker, my calendar and

1:01:49

stuff and it's made my anger and is

1:01:51

called the Three and One Cube with Max.

1:01:53

Ace this on his Max A Certified. So

1:01:55

like Apple said yes he charges for speeds

1:01:57

but it's just this little great cube and.

1:02:00

Got the charger which you can adjust for

1:02:02

the I phone's It can be flat or

1:02:04

it could be an angle for you can

1:02:06

look at your phone was charging with. You

1:02:08

do that. You can put airports behind. It

1:02:10

has a teacher job behind where you put

1:02:12

your I phone and then a little Apple

1:02:14

watch charger. You press a button it pops

1:02:17

outside. The Us is like a very usable

1:02:19

thing. It's very minimal and it's good for

1:02:21

the desk. They. Say they could travel product.

1:02:23

I wouldn't use it for travel because it is

1:02:25

on the heavier side like you some point in

1:02:27

my backpack or whatever is so heavy for to

1:02:29

like. I happened to pick one of these up

1:02:31

when I was on a working trip because as

1:02:34

the same thing of like oh it's for travel

1:02:36

at the moment I had it in my hands

1:02:38

are like know it clearly isn't It is very

1:02:40

heavy, it's waited for a reason and I'm happy

1:02:42

I just waited for an amusing a form that

1:02:44

is. Also. Why I wouldn't uses

1:02:46

for travel because it's waited. Yeah I like

1:02:48

it though for like my office charging is

1:02:50

really good. They can and I liked how

1:02:52

minimal it is. I like that I can

1:02:54

charge my watch on it too. I think

1:02:56

it's the cutest just place to dock your

1:02:58

phone. Of all of these areas chargers this

1:03:00

is like I just like the little size

1:03:02

of it's I like the height of it.

1:03:05

I read don't use it for anything else,

1:03:07

I just a use it in the spots

1:03:09

for it's like this is just a spot

1:03:11

where I want to put my phone and

1:03:13

I tend not to use the other charging

1:03:15

features. For but are I just really liked the visual look at

1:03:17

this one a lot. This

option is available to. For me,

1:04:31

I really value the ability of getting rid

1:04:33

of the things that are getting in the

1:04:35

way of my web browsing experience, but having

1:04:37

my settings preset for that Adblock Plus takes

1:04:39

care of it. Being able to get rid

1:04:41

of stuff like comment sections that isn't need

1:04:43

all this stuff just makes a web browsing

1:04:45

easier. Whether you want or don't want to

1:04:47

get rid of ads that as a ton

1:04:49

of stuff to experience for yourself this go

1:04:51

and try out right now to go to

1:04:53

the app store. You can search app, lock,

1:04:55

prose and transform your safari experience Today that

1:04:58

is Adblock Pro in the app store or

1:05:00

thanks to a Block Pro for their support

1:05:02

of the show and we laugh. I'm. Gonna

1:05:05

add a new category this year. Ago

1:05:08

because we had been threatening to do

1:05:10

state of the home for a while

1:05:12

to talk about like smart home products

1:05:14

but my think actually fits him better

1:05:16

as pas de a lot worse because.

1:05:19

I. Don't think. We. Would be

1:05:21

able to redo this one very often, so

1:05:23

I think it makes sense to sort them

1:05:25

out here. I mean the thing is, hopefully

1:05:28

you're not changing over your home stuff very

1:05:30

often. Yeah! and also I'm glad to finally

1:05:32

do this because my position was always like

1:05:34

make you seem to have a bunch of

1:05:36

home stuff I want to though your recommendations

1:05:39

for Tell me what have you gotten your

1:05:41

house. I'm pretty light on this like I

1:05:43

tried to not add too much stuff so

1:05:45

I like a few different categories that. I

1:05:48

have tried a bunch of things are done

1:05:50

of under resourced have ended up with them

1:05:52

and is basically lighting. Some. Form

1:05:54

of power, right? So like power strips

1:05:56

or smart sockets right that turn on

1:05:58

and off. It also security.

1:06:01

That. Kinds of the think the key

1:06:03

areas so for lighting. Philips

1:06:05

hue. In. My opinion there. The

1:06:08

way to go. They have been

1:06:10

doing it forever. They have a

1:06:12

fantastic product range. They're expensive, but

1:06:14

they're incredibly reliable. I've only ever

1:06:16

really tried you products for lights

1:06:18

because. It was

1:06:21

what I got when I started and

1:06:23

I'm still using Q bulbs that I

1:06:25

bought. A levin

1:06:27

years ago. And.

1:06:29

So for me that's my recommendation. I know

1:06:32

their rock solid. They have a great product

1:06:34

offering now too, so I recommend Hugh Lights.

1:06:36

They've only got better over time. I'm actually

1:06:38

going to very enthusiastically back. That's because when

1:06:41

I was setting up the basement as a

1:06:43

workspace man that was like oh, what am

1:06:45

I going to do down here I decided

1:06:48

oh, this is a great opportunity to try

1:06:50

something other than the hue bulbs because like

1:06:52

you, I think I just use them because

1:06:54

they were basically the the first real option

1:06:57

like a bunch of stuff has come along.

1:07:00

And it seemed like the number one

1:07:02

competitor was Nano least says ago. Let

1:07:04

me try all like this Nanobees stuff

1:07:06

in the basement and see how this

1:07:08

works and. I

1:07:11

feel like this is what are these?

1:07:13

You get what you pay for cases

1:07:15

like Yes the nano leaves are cheaper

1:07:17

but I definitely have more problems with

1:07:19

them. I had more than just didn't

1:07:22

work out of the box I think

1:07:24

also are like a real killer is

1:07:26

I've had to reinstall them a number

1:07:28

of times which let. Me tell you

1:07:30

like a basement and it's overhead ceiling

1:07:32

life that you need a real big

1:07:34

ladder to reach Like I am very

1:07:36

unhappy One one of those dislike it

1:07:39

disconnects from the system so I found

1:07:41

them just like. Glitzier on average

1:07:43

than the Hughes which have been

1:07:45

completely rock solid for me. So

1:07:47

few is expensive but like you

1:07:49

I have you bulbs that have

1:07:52

been around for I don't even

1:07:54

have any idea how long and

1:07:56

so I def when I was

1:07:58

at my parents' the. The most recent

1:08:00

and when. We. Decided to do like

1:08:02

a massive lighting updates and that they could

1:08:05

have the home automation suffered they just never

1:08:07

had before and it was like it was

1:08:09

a lot of life's in the house like

1:08:11

it was a non trivial expense as a

1:08:13

project goes by. I decided like nope totally

1:08:16

doing the Hughes like this is worth it

1:08:18

in the long run to not have ah

1:08:20

especially whatever you do in home automation for

1:08:22

someone else. Like what I really didn't want

1:08:25

his my parents to be like out twenty

1:08:27

percent of the ceiling lights of does disconnected

1:08:29

and we can't resell them up as like.

1:08:31

Am know I put in hugh bulbs

1:08:34

as like there hasn't been as single

1:08:36

problem with them so yeah I'm going.

1:08:38

I'm going to also like really back

1:08:40

to use. Even with the cost of

1:08:42

like it is worth it. They are

1:08:44

quality. Something that I really wanted to

1:08:46

do in our new house was to

1:08:49

change our our overhead lights with. Small.

1:08:52

Light switches and keep the existing

1:08:54

bulbs, but I was unable to

1:08:56

find an option I was really

1:08:58

happy with. Yeah! In America there

1:09:01

is a company called Lutron. And

1:09:03

they make products that people rave

1:09:06

about. but Lutron isn't really available

1:09:08

outside of America in a convenient

1:09:10

or. Briny. user friendly whites

1:09:12

yeah, there is a company Coors

1:09:15

Light Ways here. But. I

1:09:17

have seen very mixed reviews of Light Ways

1:09:19

and so I decided not to dig into

1:09:21

that. saw the for now but it is

1:09:24

something that some point I would like to

1:09:26

do because it would just be incredibly inefficient.

1:09:28

Cost was for me for the amount like

1:09:30

overhead lighting the i'm in some of the

1:09:32

house of the spending hundreds and hundreds of

1:09:35

thousand you bulbs and an also them but

1:09:37

the main problem is. People.

1:09:39

Time in the one on off. By.

1:09:41

The wall switches so I'm for making things

1:09:44

easy and understandable. I would like to have

1:09:46

it that day to have switches the some

1:09:48

regular light so it's something I will do

1:09:50

one day but I just haven't. Gotten.

1:09:53

Into that yet? But that is definitely a project.

1:09:55

I. Looked into the light waves as well,

1:09:57

and I'd I'd tried them in one

1:09:59

of the rooms in my house, or

1:10:02

a swapped out the actual physical light

1:10:04

switch on the wall and. I.

1:10:06

Ended up having to swap it back

1:10:09

like just wasn't working well enough and

1:10:11

like this is real and or it's

1:10:13

like a works ninety percent of the

1:10:15

time as like is just not good

1:10:18

enough for a light switch. It's very

1:10:20

frustrating but also the Us company it's

1:10:22

was called Lutron and the out of

1:10:24

the yeah I've been in a house

1:10:26

that uses those lights and while they

1:10:29

work I will also say they're just

1:10:31

the worst feeling buttons and switches ever

1:10:33

That save save made some new a

1:10:35

sufferer apparently is better. Okay

1:10:37

I'll have the stuff I tissue

1:10:39

the celts so mushy athlete ah I

1:10:42

hated like this is an unpleasant interaction

1:10:44

every time they made some stuff now

1:10:46

which is a day or actual switches

1:10:49

like problems which is like click click

1:10:51

switches. Okay yeah that would be

1:10:53

better cause I think I will say

1:10:55

for lightwave is the buttons physically felt

1:10:58

much better entrusted to have them work

1:11:00

and was no problem. Guess obviously this

1:11:02

doesn't solve your issue with the actual

1:11:05

light bulbs but something that just

1:11:07

before. Forget we did add in our

1:11:09

house and I also set up with

1:11:11

my parents is the slick blue tooth

1:11:13

buttons so those things are great as

1:11:15

like a physical button that you can

1:11:17

put anywhere in the house that will

1:11:19

set the light bulbs in a certain

1:11:21

way and it's like boy that lovely

1:11:23

to have and ah just have tried

1:11:25

to set it up in a bunch

1:11:27

of ways with like when my wife

1:11:29

comes into the office I've got all

1:11:31

my weird light a where it's like

1:11:33

how of living in the Arctic of

1:11:35

Rohrer right now but she can press.

1:11:37

A button? or just like, just turn all

1:11:39

these lights whites just make it normal while

1:11:41

I'm in this space. Those things I really,

1:11:44

really recommend, but obviously it's a different. Use.

1:11:46

Cases are trying to solve with those

1:11:48

sorts of thing France's controlling actual lights

1:11:50

with are smart switches. I am a

1:11:53

huge summer sun. I have become a

1:11:55

massive son of Sam and the last

1:11:57

year still living at home I love

1:11:59

it. We have gone all in a

1:12:01

home. The recommendation that I make for

1:12:03

most people basically the anyone is the

1:12:05

Era one Hundred which is a truly

1:12:08

fantastic speaker as well as being in

1:12:10

the solar system which is like a

1:12:12

wife. I system is also a blues

1:12:14

his speaker and it also has line

1:12:16

in in this one product Me you

1:12:18

can use it for a bunch of

1:12:20

things. he has airplane or that kind

1:12:22

of fun stuff to. I.

1:12:25

Really love the speakers, they sound amazing.

1:12:27

But of course the whole thing about

1:12:29

Sonos is what you really want to

1:12:31

be doing is. Having a

1:12:33

bunch of speakers and you can group

1:12:35

them together, We have a whole set

1:12:37

of stuff. We have the Sun as

1:12:39

five. Which is one of the

1:12:41

biggest speakers we bought by the who have the

1:12:43

big boy that yeah we bought this one because

1:12:45

at the time it was the only one that

1:12:48

had a line in and so we have this

1:12:50

can. it's for record player as well. What I

1:12:52

love you can take records. And we

1:12:54

can play. The. Music in every summer

1:12:56

speaker because is connected to the

1:12:58

system. So. I think

1:13:00

the that is very adorable bother me

1:13:03

have the move which is there portable

1:13:05

speaker which can be inside outside more

1:13:07

on else and we also have that

1:13:09

like the owner the T V systems

1:13:12

this is incredible so we have to

1:13:14

think because the immersive sat so I

1:13:16

have the beam sound bar with rear

1:13:19

like left from right speakers which are

1:13:21

erawan hundreds and this sub many. And

1:13:24

for watching stuff on our Apple

1:13:26

Tv. Unbelievable! The it sounds

1:13:28

so fantastic and I love it! What

1:13:30

I've read it like about the sub

1:13:33

many is it is kind of been

1:13:35

made to not be too loud which

1:13:37

is fantastic for if you have neighbors

1:13:39

physically media they really go for it

1:13:42

not vibrating. As worker in apartments they

1:13:44

do a couple of different subs and this is

1:13:46

the one that I would recommend for anybody who

1:13:48

lives in that kind of The barman it was

1:13:50

one of my says the home pod about his

1:13:52

way to base a I could not put it

1:13:54

the next to like adjoining walls but I don't

1:13:57

feel that way about the sub many and that

1:13:59

a lot a. About the sub many

1:14:01

I have it kind of. Next was

1:14:03

sofa and is that right next to

1:14:05

me and sometimes I can feel the

1:14:07

base in the sofa as a nice

1:14:09

so cool when we're watching like an

1:14:11

action movie. Be at the Sonos products.

1:14:13

So Good is one of my absolute

1:14:16

favorite tech companies because they do one

1:14:18

thing and they do it so well.

1:14:20

I love the way the app works.

1:14:22

I love that me and my wife

1:14:24

can use the same up and find

1:14:26

the same music. c. use Spotify, I

1:14:28

use Apple music. We both. Sign in

1:14:30

to were accounts and soon as

1:14:33

I can play her playlist she

1:14:35

complained. My playlists amazing. Him.

1:14:38

So woeful out the whole the may have

1:14:40

to send me your recommended that is they

1:14:42

see they have like a billion sets. You

1:14:44

may have to send me your recommended T

1:14:46

V equipments that because my wife has been

1:14:48

on me to replace the home pod for

1:14:50

a within a system for a while and

1:14:53

I've been like weirdly resistant cousins like In

1:14:55

of the Hump. Other for the immersive set

1:14:57

with Been, they have the immersive Sat in

1:14:59

a premium a massive Sat and I don't

1:15:01

think you need the premium Us sectors the

1:15:03

verbs not big enough. Okay, immersive set with

1:15:05

Beam Young it says like. The for speaker

1:15:08

system it's the theme which is a

1:15:10

sound bar the sub many for sub

1:15:12

woofer and your to era one hundreds

1:15:14

and also as well that will be

1:15:16

incredible to listen to music on. I

1:15:20

mean if you really wanna go

1:15:22

for as well like they have

1:15:24

something called the Era three hundred

1:15:26

okay which is a. Spatial.

1:15:29

Audio speaker. But.

1:15:31

I know I wouldn't recommend this. I don't

1:15:33

recommend the sounds like oh it is. This

1:15:35

is of is a picture of this thing

1:15:38

that supposed to what you in the middle

1:15:40

of my room as ridiculous. no I don't

1:15:42

need that they bought. They are cool though

1:15:44

that they've actually made a This is a

1:15:46

a speaker that can use special the A

1:15:48

like the Dolby Atmos music. I was about

1:15:51

to say that listening to music is an

1:15:53

extremely rare use case in our house but

1:15:55

as though they are will never do that

1:15:57

but Athena I realized what we do all

1:15:59

the time. His have ah like this ambient

1:16:01

sound on in the house so like my

1:16:03

wife likes to put on those those Youtube

1:16:06

things worth like oh here's ten hours of

1:16:08

a cozy fireplace during a thunderstorm so we've

1:16:10

got that kind of stuff on all the

1:16:12

time is gonna sound incredible in your son.

1:16:14

A system that actually Dakota tempt me to

1:16:16

maybe do that. Okay. Look.

1:16:18

I have to hum. Pods are my Apple Tv

1:16:21

hurt? Syria the will once I had a home

1:16:23

and it sounds great. Not. A

1:16:25

lick on my sinuses. I'm I'm. Like

1:16:29

the sauna system. I. Don't feel

1:16:31

like the sound is coming from any

1:16:33

specific speakers. This. Just they're.

1:16:36

Interesting thing, it really is amazing. I could

1:16:38

not recommend their products enough or it I

1:16:41

think he pushed me over the ads. I

1:16:43

will try it for the Tv and report

1:16:45

back. Here at the

1:16:47

studio I have Radius as my he

1:16:49

an option and Eve make a smart

1:16:51

radio a valve called the Eve Sabo.

1:16:54

Which. I'm just so happy exists

1:16:56

because I can tell my heating on

1:16:58

at the studio before I'm here and

1:17:01

it just turns it on. I really

1:17:03

love this product the it has a

1:17:05

floor which is love understanding. Get a's

1:17:07

temperature sensor and put it in the

1:17:10

room. Because.

1:17:13

I don't even understand why the ship

1:17:15

the product with way to her eyes.

1:17:17

I understand why, but it shouldn't be

1:17:19

this what they should ship an external

1:17:21

temperature sensor with this product where he

1:17:23

told me that they're using as a

1:17:25

thermometer that is inside the thing that

1:17:27

physically connected radiator. Yes, because since that's

1:17:29

always going to register like it's ninety

1:17:32

degrees so frequently to the radio that

1:17:34

the studio tell me that they are

1:17:36

twenty five degrees celsius, the studio is

1:17:38

like eighteen degrees celsius. So like not

1:17:40

very less. Not yeah if you're gonna

1:17:42

say any automation. So whatever you eat,

1:17:44

you know I have to set my

1:17:46

right day of owls to turn off

1:17:48

when they hit twenty nine degrees because

1:17:51

otherwise they just turn off all the

1:17:53

time about as a products to be

1:17:55

able to over the internet, turn on

1:17:57

and off a radiator Incredible in the

1:17:59

soup. Easy to install to the I installed the

1:18:01

myself. I was just about to ask like you

1:18:03

do to shut down the water with saw them

1:18:05

uma during know you can unscrew. Well I didn't

1:18:07

a you just unscrew the valve. you're not letting

1:18:09

any of the war or are you just taking

1:18:11

off the valve and putting a new one on.

1:18:14

Is very very easy to.i was nervous

1:18:16

about it but the installation period is

1:18:18

one hundred percent user replaceable. Move or

1:18:20

it is is a very interesting. very

1:18:22

very very easy. And that home kits

1:18:24

by the way to are you hunk

1:18:26

if everything and I use Apple Tv

1:18:28

smoke controllers but like I am very

1:18:30

much focused on trying to his home

1:18:32

kit wherever I can accept this next

1:18:34

product? Yeah, there's a huge advantage to

1:18:36

try to stick with home kits but

1:18:39

like now, what does make not use

1:18:41

home kit with. Our house

1:18:43

came with a nest thermostat. For

1:18:46

our upstairs he in a also came

1:18:48

with underfloor heating and I danced as

1:18:51

him and we have. Different. Systems

1:18:53

for these because you can't put it all in one

1:18:55

way. Swim found something real. I am. I

1:18:57

don't have any good recommendation for a

1:18:59

wife like connected. Underfloor.

1:19:02

Heating system. We have one but I don't

1:19:04

recommend it. it's just. We.

1:19:06

Have it that nest at least.

1:19:08

It. Is a good product. The.

1:19:11

Nest system. I actually quite like it.

1:19:13

I like that were able to control

1:19:15

or heaton remotely. I liked that it

1:19:17

has the learning features, but we don't

1:19:19

really focus on them very much. The

1:19:21

it's good that they're they're and the

1:19:23

Nest thermostat. We have the learning thermostat.

1:19:25

The original is a nice products to

1:19:27

use. it just feels nice they have

1:19:29

a new one now which isn't so

1:19:31

nice to use. And I don't really

1:19:33

understand why Nest is doing what it's

1:19:35

doing like be current like what they

1:19:37

call the nest thermostat. It took most

1:19:39

of the things that seem. To be

1:19:41

good about the nest thermostat and remove

1:19:43

them. This is also the one that

1:19:45

as he does work with matter where

1:19:47

the nest lying thermostat doesn't I don't

1:19:49

know why Google have made these decisions

1:19:51

but they continue to make them. However,

1:19:54

it's a decent enough system for controlling

1:19:56

our he in on. But

1:19:58

enough nowhere. Getting into

1:20:00

I know that there are other things

1:20:02

that are available. The product

1:20:04

that I really want. Is. The

1:20:07

Eco Be Somerset. Which. Works

1:20:09

with home kit but it's not

1:20:11

available in rather sad islands of

1:20:13

home kit. Sat there is some

1:20:15

suffering and he gets when little

1:20:17

bit that it finally came house

1:20:19

about paper. I was. I

1:20:21

love the Eve stuff works here he was

1:20:23

very European folk a certain made in Germany

1:20:25

and so they have a lot of products

1:20:28

at work really well I don't like eve

1:20:30

do some some assess of but it doesn't

1:20:32

to exactly what I need so we have

1:20:34

a look at them yeah Eve is where

1:20:36

most of my other pumpkin stuff is. it's

1:20:38

like I got the Eve door sensors and

1:20:40

for to like electrical space heaters in the

1:20:42

house at that's where I'm using like the

1:20:44

Eve smart plugs plus here hard power cut

1:20:46

to the Apple Tv for him from fighting

1:20:48

in the Nord with us as I am

1:20:50

using. Other Eve stuff for that and

1:20:52

there and it's great that the record

1:20:54

I like the Eve stuff the eve

1:20:56

energy but I use Merrill's I have

1:20:59

spoken about them before. they make the

1:21:01

power strips the you can turn on

1:21:03

off individually but Merrill's also make a

1:21:05

small plug of one. I like about

1:21:07

it is it is. Dimensionally.

1:21:09

No bigger than a plug socket. Because

1:21:13

the issue with a lot of these including

1:21:15

the Eve is if you put it into

1:21:17

a search for say you Elijah a power

1:21:19

strip, you can't plug anything in next to

1:21:21

it you have the merest switches. Are

1:21:23

made. To. Not be like that.

1:21:26

So they are the same size essentially as

1:21:29

a plug so you can plug things on

1:21:31

either side. So I really like the merest

1:21:33

of for that because it their their relative

1:21:35

low profile and they don't destroy whatever you're

1:21:37

plugging it into. Yes, I

1:21:39

think if for the next smart plug that I

1:21:42

need. I think this is what I'm in ago

1:21:44

with a says i'm a much better size. We.

1:21:47

Were looking at home security system. And

1:21:49

I had a couple of things that I wanted. I

1:21:52

wanted. Monitoring. So

1:21:54

like external monitoring right? So like a fire

1:21:57

alarm went off and we were sleeping or

1:21:59

we won. That there is an

1:22:01

alarm company that can be involved.

1:22:03

Looking and some okay maybe calling

1:22:06

the police or calling me or

1:22:08

whatever. I also wanted home kit.

1:22:11

This. Brought me to a company called

1:22:13

Abode. We. Have the

1:22:15

abode base station and we pay

1:22:18

for their monitoring system. I've.

1:22:20

Been very happy with so far because

1:22:22

they've been very good at calling me

1:22:24

so if I've replaced batteries on things,

1:22:27

They. Call me as a seven okay on that

1:22:29

yet everything's okay which is placing a battery. And

1:22:31

we also had a day where Op How was

1:22:34

going up and down, up down said some i'm

1:22:36

working on it and the alarm company called never

1:22:38

like we're noticing the powers going on and off.

1:22:40

Is everything okay and that that fills me with

1:22:42

comfort. That. If my house was

1:22:44

broken into the alarm system or on

1:22:47

it so that's great. What happens if

1:22:49

you answered no to that question I

1:22:51

caught a blue ago. We have the

1:22:53

base station with monitoring what I also

1:22:55

wanted his i want it a system

1:22:57

that has a battery. And

1:23:00

a cell radio. And

1:23:03

abode have both of that in their smart

1:23:05

security kids they call it. They have a

1:23:07

bunch of different options that have different

1:23:09

prices. have a different things that you might

1:23:12

want. This system ties into home kit. So.

1:23:14

You can at least see whether the alarm

1:23:16

is set on not and that's great but

1:23:19

also what I really wanted because they're integration

1:23:21

with the at the home kit alarm system

1:23:23

thing is an awesome but what I wanted

1:23:25

was window door sensors that gave me home

1:23:27

kit notifications and that's what they have. So

1:23:29

they have their own window and door senses

1:23:32

with connect to their hub but then that

1:23:34

hub then those notifications to the home up.

1:23:36

okay that makes sense that makes sense that

1:23:38

they'd have to. then I can connect that

1:23:40

with other home south. So for example you

1:23:43

could open a door and. Like a tunnel.

1:23:45

Mike. Huckabee, You still do those automation sign.

1:23:47

Yet. Abode have

1:23:49

cameras. That. Currently the cameras don't

1:23:52

go into home kit but that's fine. Like.

1:23:54

Because I can just look in the abode up

1:23:57

and see the live feed from the camera if

1:23:59

I wanted. So. There are always lines you

1:24:01

gotta draw. I. Got the best

1:24:03

of. Most. Of it they

1:24:05

have a widget which is for Eagle Siac.

1:24:07

ample widget on my home screen, the updates

1:24:10

of an image periodically scissors and I think

1:24:12

have but currently didn't tie in the I

1:24:14

can get a lot of features from the

1:24:16

Hump security system in the whole app that

1:24:19

does not camera stuff but I do have

1:24:21

additional cameras in the whole map as well

1:24:23

anyway to kind of like tying everything together

1:24:25

have any is possible to link a lot

1:24:28

of this stuff together but I haven't really

1:24:30

gone to the trouble of accident filled the

1:24:32

need right now when we have in. A

1:24:34

car I g three camera but he says

1:24:37

pointed an external window to see into our

1:24:39

garden. This is like as a test of

1:24:41

do I want an outdoor camera and the

1:24:43

answer was yes and so I'm going to

1:24:46

get actually abode have an outdoor camera coming

1:24:48

soon so I'm actually gonna get that one

1:24:50

so will be in the law monitoring system

1:24:53

again and then we'll use that cameras somewhere

1:24:55

else in the house Maybe. But my absolute

1:24:57

favorite product the I'm So Happy existed as

1:24:59

the one of like I struggled to find

1:25:02

the products and a car or made it.

1:25:04

Is the a car a smart video

1:25:06

doorbell? Okay is is like Amazon Smart

1:25:09

doorbell. Why do you like the so

1:25:11

much? This doorbell works on double A

1:25:13

batteries? Ah okay, see ya need to

1:25:15

physically wire it and because we have

1:25:18

a garden. With. A gate

1:25:20

and I needed the doorbell on the

1:25:22

gate we can write run power to

1:25:24

the gate. This is the issued I

1:25:26

was running into and also there are

1:25:28

other battery powered job else but they

1:25:30

didn't work with home kit. This.

1:25:32

One does so I'm able to have it

1:25:34

in. The whole map has a camera and

1:25:37

when somebody rings the doorbell it shows up

1:25:39

as a notification. In the map I can

1:25:41

see the person I can talk to. the

1:25:43

person. Fantastic. It

1:25:45

works on batteries. We've had

1:25:47

this for. A year and

1:25:49

a half, I've replaced the batteries three

1:25:52

times. It takes

1:25:54

like a billion double a batteries but

1:25:56

we have any loop ones that you

1:25:58

recommended the rechargeable on right. Rechargeable then

1:26:00

this doorbell. I love it. They make

1:26:02

the connection to the house and it's

1:26:04

going over bit of a distance like

1:26:06

it's not like super closer and it

1:26:08

works were lot. It's very reliable, it

1:26:11

has little time the is inside the

1:26:13

house. The time box is what connects

1:26:15

to hunker but in the time box

1:26:17

has a connection to the doorbell. Very

1:26:19

clever way that a car built this.

1:26:21

Like to build around some of the

1:26:23

limitations of video doorbells in home kit

1:26:25

to breathe product. This is why there

1:26:27

are no other. Wireless.

1:26:30

Door Bells because you need that bridge step for

1:26:32

exactly are you have to have. I'm a like

1:26:34

and so they create their own bridge in a

1:26:36

child box. It connects to. Hunker.

1:26:38

And then they had this was doorbell that feeds

1:26:40

back to it. This is a great product I

1:26:43

really like and it's also fits the exact need

1:26:45

that we have saw. I'm super happy with this

1:26:47

of looking at a product of the have a

1:26:49

to thoughts and flick poo. Thai.

1:26:52

Stick this on the outside of factor has

1:26:54

door yes as like ooh that's a place

1:26:56

where to go with the other thing which

1:26:58

is like I'd others will never happen with

1:27:00

a can convinced by building to be able

1:27:02

to install this at the front door of

1:27:04

be as to build a good liar know

1:27:06

was of as the opening up for hims

1:27:08

if you've ever like hey guys I know

1:27:10

we have a whole system here but like

1:27:12

can I have a special bell that's just

1:27:14

for me here is is like i just

1:27:16

hate having like this disturb is just part

1:27:18

of a you know like in london like

1:27:21

part of an. Apartment Building. Well have

1:27:23

you looked into the ring intercom?

1:27:25

Know tell me more Ring Intercom

1:27:27

So ring the Amazon company have

1:27:29

Bill a product for people living

1:27:31

in Apartment. Oh yeah I don't

1:27:33

know exactly how it works and

1:27:35

you it does that compatibility check

1:27:37

you need to do to make

1:27:39

sure he systems going to work

1:27:42

that evening. Connected this to an

1:27:44

intercom in an apartment building and

1:27:46

it will work like of Ring

1:27:48

Now if you're into com has

1:27:50

a camera use would. See Be able

1:27:52

to see the camera. If you could to speak

1:27:54

than it would effectively give unification. You could talk

1:27:57

to someone and a theory. Open the door if

1:27:59

you're into com. Allows you to do that.

1:28:01

Wow, what a strange little Prado is

1:28:03

a genius product to this exact reason

1:28:05

So many people live in apartments and

1:28:07

there aren't get any of the features

1:28:09

that a ring doorbell would allow them

1:28:11

to have her. What a funny thing

1:28:14

is like a little parasite on the

1:28:16

intercom system. they would fade a collaborative

1:28:18

thing after I use a little parents.

1:28:20

it's a barnacle on your and actually

1:28:22

that is the best thing as it's

1:28:24

an intercom barnacle. that's what it actually

1:28:26

is. How interesting. And they say d

1:28:28

I y installed so if. It is compatible

1:28:30

of your system and theories. Be a to do

1:28:32

yourself a second work that would be much better

1:28:35

than try to convince my whole building of like

1:28:37

a part of the attic my own doorbell next

1:28:39

to everybody else is doorbell side of think that

1:28:41

of luck and of like the problem you would

1:28:43

have greater than you would be receiving. Packages.

1:28:45

For everybody in the building, right? I mean

1:28:48

Michael accused the thing that that you can

1:28:50

always expect that people will read the instructions.

1:28:52

ah follow those instructions so I'll just have

1:28:54

right a clear little message of like please

1:28:56

only this for the flat that we live

1:28:59

in and I use the regular system for

1:29:01

everything else of what could possibly be the

1:29:03

problem I mentioned a car. I also use

1:29:05

a bunch of of her car products because

1:29:07

they make really good senses that integrate with

1:29:10

home kit through a hub. So what I

1:29:12

like about car is their cameras are hubs.

1:29:14

So did he three camera that we have.

1:29:17

Is. Also a hub. That. You

1:29:19

can connect. Hundreds of

1:29:21

census to and then those sensors will

1:29:23

operate in home kit. So we have

1:29:25

temperature and humidity sensors. We have one

1:29:27

in every room of the house. It

1:29:29

is Tom Little. While. Squares.

1:29:33

And put them somewhere in the house. We had

1:29:35

them in all of our room so we can

1:29:37

see the temperature and humidity in each room and

1:29:39

we also have a car as water leak senses.

1:29:41

In like areas where there's water so

1:29:44

we have one behind the fridge, we

1:29:46

have one in each bathroom and they

1:29:48

work with the home kit. Critical alert

1:29:50

system. So. If

1:29:52

water is detected. Every device you

1:29:54

have a freak the hell out which kind of

1:29:56

want I forget who makes that? We have some

1:29:59

water sensors as well. That you do have

1:30:01

the one with the ropes. yeah it's

1:30:03

like the rope one. It's to the

1:30:05

I find that to be unnecessarily complicated.

1:30:07

This is just a little plastic discs.

1:30:09

That's all it is. And also that

1:30:11

camera is adorable little over the carrier

1:30:13

yes there has his are optional. ah

1:30:16

I don't think they're optional. they're so

1:30:18

cute. We are now tagged on. And

1:30:20

there is a cat in our neighborhood

1:30:22

that climbs on a little roofs and

1:30:24

sometimes is really looking at the camera

1:30:26

that kept going to be Bring and

1:30:28

Flowers two years earlier years. He said I

1:30:30

looked as a matter. of

1:30:33

this camera thirty three camera can move which

1:30:35

is pretty cold it can ton and the

1:30:37

camera and move up and down and in

1:30:39

the a car as app you can't you

1:30:41

see speeches in the home kit up in

1:30:43

a car that you can set like positions.

1:30:46

So. You through like position want this to

1:30:48

name them so you could have a in a

1:30:51

room and be like show me this essentially so

1:30:53

it could move and tilt to show you some

1:30:55

Paul the room. As. And that's

1:30:57

really nice. A cholera a really interesting company

1:30:59

that see have a sense of i think

1:31:02

you might like. Okay think

1:31:04

is called the. A.

1:31:06

Car rob presence censor

1:31:08

I think. And.

1:31:11

It is using millimeter

1:31:13

wave technology. To.

1:31:15

Understand where people are in rooms is

1:31:17

the standing up laying down and you

1:31:19

can set different like seems to occur

1:31:21

depending on the plasma someone in a

1:31:24

room you might have just solved a

1:31:26

problem for me because. There. Are

1:31:28

a number of times with some home

1:31:30

automation is where the question of is

1:31:32

someone in the basements the like The

1:31:34

answer that I need to know for

1:31:36

various iterations this is the sensor that

1:31:38

will be able to tell you that

1:31:40

with absolute accurate okay fan have. The

1:31:42

thing about it is you have to

1:31:44

mount it upon was to be hi

1:31:46

my said can see the whole room

1:31:48

for that's not gonna be an issue

1:31:50

in the garage shudder that yeah Aesthetics

1:31:52

Another problem that that you could literally

1:31:54

have it the if I am sitting

1:31:57

down in this chair. Run This Autumn. Okay

1:31:59

so it's map ing with the millimeter wave, the

1:32:01

physical space and it's looking for something that looks

1:32:03

like a person. Okay, that's what it's doing. it

1:32:05

all just movement. but yeah you like it looks

1:32:08

of people. It can actually eat something that is

1:32:10

pretty cool about it has fold section. As.

1:32:12

Pretty cool. It's pretty interesting

1:32:14

that has apparently sleep monitoring.

1:32:17

oh say. Also, So.

1:32:19

Creepy. like it's weird, but. Make.

1:32:22

As. A sense I can be. It's like

1:32:24

way can sense everything from Council by Uva.

1:32:27

you give me a real list of things

1:32:29

to try with his own kids.five. just on

1:32:31

So much recession. A nice oh thank you

1:32:33

so much for allowing me to reap the

1:32:35

rewards from all of the work that you

1:32:38

have done. This is exactly what I was

1:32:40

hoping for. These are the things. That
