@chriswelch @DannyChantom @sokane1 I, an avowed advocate of neckbuds, also choose to not speak of them — PolitiTweet.org

More and more, though, I’m starting to understand why Apple doesn’t allow third-party watchfaces — because on Wear OS, Tizen, Fitbit, and now Garmin I have found that getting a good watchface that does what I want AND doesn’t look just straight up terrible is way, way too hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

So I’m trying out a Garmin Venu 2 and it’s objectively not great judged by any reasonable smartwatch standard. But if you, like, accept that it is bad at the things it is bad at and maybe you don’t need those things, the things it’s better at are nice. https://t.co/XjIChV5OWb — PolitiTweet.org

@chriswelch I wasn’t expecting much from the Pixel Buds A, to be clear, so it was a low bar. The original Pixel Buds felt like having literal knives in my ears after like 15 minutes of use. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Got a freebie set of Pixel Buds A with my Pixel 6 this year and I like them more than I expected. @chriswelch is spot on with his review. I miss wireless charging WAY more than I expected though. https://t.co/wZzFtAIEXx — PolitiTweet.org

@dcseifert to me, the things that will make or break the Echo Schow 15 - Actually good smart home controls - Actual third party widgets that actually connect to the services I actually use — PolitiTweet.org

Man nobody has figured out how to make a good screen UI for the smart home. Amazon’s done some decent things here, but as @dcseifert notes it’s incomplete (and slow — so much for that new Amazon AZ2 processor) https://t.co/RZjN38TmKR — PolitiTweet.org

Also just gonna say that if your smarthome gadget doesn't support this standard in 2022, I will not be recommending it. It's very dangerous to create a gadget that's ... Antimatter — PolitiTweet.org

Is it just that so many Android phone manufactures are based in China and don't want to deal with a hostile govt? https://t.co/nXsmr5Pm3m — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Remember a couple years ago when HTC (RIP) made a "Blockchain phone" and everybody was like "haha you dopes" and whatever? Pretty interesting that no notable manufacturer I can think of is jumping on this year's bandwagon with a gimmick crypto phone. https://t.co/s2H26nyj37 — PolitiTweet.org

Also! The last of my Tuesday Topic Specific Vergecast episodes for the year, with four expert guests and me being agog that a standards group appears to be GETTING IT RIGHT on a REASONABLE TIMELINE? Maybe? Seriously? Matter is very strange in that regard https://t.co/HI92kfqHU7 — PolitiTweet.org
