  • The clock needs new batteries

    I used to love this podcast. Having a quick four person view on various topics was a great way to spark interest. Recently however it’s just descended into four people bringing topics they want to criticise and moan about. It’s become downbeat and snarky. Makes even 30 minutes a hard listen

    Was just listening Wifi Egg episode and their comments about tracking your kids felt like they are out of touch

  • Great format

    Making it 30 minutes makes it more digestible. Also, thanks for using “chapters”. That way, I have the option of jumping into the topics that I like.

    If you are an older American who only uses Apple you might appreciate this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

681: A Little Weird That Way
Q: How often and where do you find yourself running searches these days?
The panel describes searching through browser address bars, Google and Kagi, as well as using AI tools and TikTok. They discuss the perceived shortcomings of AI-generated Google results and when traditional search remains useful.
681: A Little Weird That Way
Q: What's a thing you do with a device, computer interface thing where you feel like you're doing it right for you, but everybody else tells you you're doing it wrong?
The panel shares personal interface preferences, including custom hotkeys and trackpad settings, extensive folder organization, liking Liquid Glass, keeping the Mac Dock on the right, and closing browser tabs rather than leaving them open.
677: A Nice Cave Somewhere
Q: How's everybody feeling about all of the quote unquote smart recording tech that's hitting the market?
The panel expressed concern about privacy and the social discomfort of recording devices. Jeff Carlson found a clip-on recorder useful for work, while Aline Sims warned that surveillance technology can enable harm and argued that manufacturers should consider worst-case scenarios.
677: A Nice Cave Somewhere
Q: Would Apple's involvement in these products be enough to interest you in these categories either for the first time or to replace any existing devices you might already have?
The panel was mostly skeptical because members already own smart home devices and would need a compelling new feature to switch. Jeff Carlson suggested Apple's simpler, trusted approach could help newcomers, while Dan Moren questioned whether Apple has a clear strategy.
678: Sliced by the Bleeding Edge
Q: Do you use them? Do you prefer them? Do you advocate for them? Do you set them up for your less tech savvy friends and family? Why or why not? Where are you with pass keys these days, Casey?
The panel's views range from Casey Liss's reluctance to adopt passkeys to Karissa Bell's enthusiasm for their convenience. They appreciate the security benefits but point to inconsistent implementations and the challenge of setting them up for relatives.
