Thank you so much for the shoutout Andrew! We’re thrilled and honored to be recognized by such a respected voice in technology. ❤

We’re only just getting started. 😏

Arc is the best change I've made in the past 5 years. Phenomenal user experience - it's so beyond the other browsers I don't know how it isn't bigger. Massive upgrades to my workflow!

[RazeenMujarrab]

My heart sank when I heard the price of the mattress topper. That sounds like exactly I need but I won't be able to afford it in the next ten years..

I know it's taken a lot of flak, but I absolutely love my Pixel Tablet. It's my favorite piece of tech I've picked up in years and the excuse I've needed to justify owning a tablet.

[ddretnuh]

200% yes on Arc, it completely solved my tab hoarding issues. It’s a browser that just feels better in a huh I wasn’t paying attention to all these paper cuts until they were gone sort of way. That was my impression after 2-3 weeks of using it, now after several months it’s just gotten better and better.

I sold my AirPods Max to get some cheaper open back Phillips headphones that were wired so I could use Apple Music lossless, it was a fantastic decision and I won't consider wireless headphones again for long listening.

Cleaning my room while listening to wavefrm clips is therapeutic

[ZachDidDat]

Id like to see Andrew do a 1-3 month review of the iPhone 15 pro. Seeing as he's used mainly Pixels and recently the Zen Phone I feel like he would have an interesting take.

[HipyoTech]

Its so cool seeing Andrew get into keyboards :)

[spartanV]

Good choice of IEMs. The Volur is amazing!

[DK]

I would be over the moon if you made audio reviews. I think a lot of people would find it very useful and appreciate it.

[Al-vltp]

"It's On Sale" 😂 that was a straight adlib lol

[obscurelines]

This is cool. Fascinating how inessential so many are. It's nice but a cool keyboard, some good earphones, a new browser. Stuff I've used for 30 years. Be interesting if we'll get much of a paradigm shift in tech any time soon.

[crizzlevideos]

I have a split keyboard called zsa voyager. It’s my favourite tech I bought this year. I changed to Colemak and blank keycaps at the same time. Clearly it was a steep learning curve and took me about a month to be fully functional

[davidvkimball]

Marques is a real one for the Zune HD shout out.

[dropdeadfred]

I’m glad I’m not the only one that washes dishes while listening to the podcast. 😂

[Johnny.Karlsson]

I love that Marques had a Zune in high school. I had the original and the HD and loved them. I wish I still had them. Both of them were way better than any iPods at the time.

[samuelbaroi]

That keyboard sound gave me an eargasm

[wendelynmusic]

I always hear people talking about how the Pixel fold is great closed. I almost never use it closed. I only use it that way in a pinch for specific reasons. Otherwise I always use my fold in the open position. It is just so easy to open and it's kind of the whole reason I bought the thing. the bezels don't bother me in any way shape or form. And I really like having the camera outside the screen. I love my fold. I have zero issues with it and I really prefer pixel software to any other version of Android.
