  • Love hate relationship

    I genuinely love this show and have listened since the original days, however if there was one thing that I would change is the constant annoying keyboard tapping sounds in the background, whenever one of the hosts is talking, you can hear another host furiously tapping away on their keyboard and it’s starting to verge on listening to ASMR podcast, please for the love of God stop this it is the only thing that I could find wrong with this show but now that I have noticed it it drives me insane

  • Too Long

    The content is very good but it can do with some editing. Episodes are the length of a feature movie. Even at 1.5 speed (which I wish not to do) it’s long. I often mean to listen but don’t want to commit 1:45 hrs.

  • Pretty Bad

    Started off good, then Jason Howell showed up and brought the “TWiT” vibe, which is not a good thing and lead to me stopping my Patreon support. Now there’s too many hosts talking over each other, too many low-quality ads, too much off-topic conversation, poorly researched news (you can hear Jason stumbling through the website as he records) and Jason and Ron spend way too much of their time telling you how to give them more money or buy merch. I get it, they need income but they’re doing it in ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IQOO - Bless You!
Q: How can Ron stop Google Health from repeatedly prompting him to wear his watch and follow coaching advice?
The listener recommends disabling health coaching or its push notifications, turning off watch reminders to move, or muting coaching and insights notifications in Android settings.
IQOO - Bless You!
Q: Why is support for Android tablets disappearing from some apps, and could tablets be next to go?
Huyen says tablet optimization takes design and development resources, and some companies may have decided to drop support rather than maintain it. The hosts doubt Android tablets will disappear, noting that Google's detachable Googlebooks and foldables make large-screen support increasingly relevant.
Lobotomize Your Google TV
Q: Why does Gemini on Android Auto read “ETA” as a phrase in another language?
The hosts could not identify the cause. The message itself is sent correctly, while Gemini's spoken readout misinterprets the acronym.
Lobotomize Your Google TV
Q: How do you deal with Pixel video falling short of the iPhone, and is Video Boost a practical solution?
Florence says Video Boost can require waiting for cloud processing, so she uses other phones when video quality matters. She prefers the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra for its on-device video processing, while Jason says he also often chooses other cameras or phones.
Googlebooks: Use The Magic Pointer!
Q: Who is the target customer for Google Book?
The target is premium Android users who need a large-screen productivity and creative tool that pairs with their Android phones, especially those migrating from MacBook Air or Windows laptops seeking a seamless ecosystem experience.
