Seeing more posts like these around social media, acting like Apple execs were psychic in predicting the AI bubble bursting. Just a friendly reminder, that it was Apple's greed working out for them that they never got too deep into AI investments.

I kinda autopilot sharing stuff to Threads. I haven't really ever enjoyed using it, but I popped back in to check a few notifications today, and it's such a wasteland. The Facebook algorithm knows I'm a "nerd' and that I produce videos about gadgets, but the ENTIRE FEED they set up was basically the lowest effort engagement or rage bait.
Just a never ending list of:
"Should I switch to an Android?"
"Is this the year I leave and get an iPhone."
"Imagine meeting someone in 2026 and they use an ANDROID?!?!"
"DAE feel the keyboard on iphone sucks now?"
Just over and over and over, with the occasional sprinkling of an actual post from someone I really know.
I shouldn't be surprised. It's FB's MO to make people miserable and angry, which for SOME REASON keeps them doom-scrolling social media longer. They actually ran the science on that.
I guess I'm just continuously disappointed in how well it works.

I've been recommending these "face displays" for years now. They are a great experience for travel and privacy. They work with almost every phone, tablet, laptop, or game console. They can get pricey though, so it's nice to see an option that streamlines the product at a more wallet friendly price.

I sometimes struggle reviewing these mid-year "T" series phones, but with all the issues around pricing and distribution, the 17T might make more sense this year.

It's so messed up that I could probably sell my launch LCD Steam Deck for about what I paid for it brand new.
Maybe even make money on the sale if I wait a little.

Really Busy Bee At Work! (Vivo X300 Ultra)
Nice warm day, and the bees were at work. This little lady was busy, but was patient enough to let me snap this one pic from the Vivo.

If glasses really do become more popular with people who dont regularly wear glasses, I hope this finally encourages more options to help people find comfortable headphones while wearing glasses.

Oh yeah I remember those stories. Yet another example of how under-educated consumers were (and still are) on new tech.
The implementation where an Android can only send to an iPhone IF the iPhone owner enables "Receive from ANYBODY for 10 minutes" does a LOT of heavy lifting to reinforce the stigma that this is "unwanted" or "risky".

it's really frustrating right? I swear stuff like magic eraser and the Google keyboard are way worse than they used to be.
And at the same time, there are a bunch of little npu plugins and applets that are working great now. I wish we could more easily show people what was on device and what was cloud ai.

A little blurb from the article:
"Just like what happened with AirTags, Apple can create a situation where there’s a potential for abuse, and then make it look like Android products are the culprit. Apple messaging will make it sound like Apple is being forced to “let the dirty Androids in”, when in reality it’s us Android users welcoming iOS into the broader standard all devices should have supported for roughly 10 years now."

GREAT question from one of my Patrons on why it's taking so long for Android phones to get AirDrop support!

While Apple spends radically less on AI than any other tech brand, and is now partnered with Google to deliver a smarter Siri, will investors come around on Tim Cook's strategies?
The media criticized Apple's AI "floundering", but was Tim Cook really playing seven dimensional chess the whole time?

It's no joke when I say I've been waiting for this smartwatch for YEARS. I was a backer on the original Pebble and the Pebble Time, and I pre-ordered the original Pebble Time 2 back in 2018.
Eight years later, I FINALLY get to unbox this! I'm nothing if not VERY patient!

Huh. PR rep reached out about a sponsored video on my channel, but offered a rate WELL below what I charge. Their counter-offer was they could send me a SECOND unit of their product (MSRP well below my rate) and I can RUN A CONTEST with it, which would give them more exposure.
I can do three times the work for a small percentage of my rate!
Haven't seen that pitch in a long while...
