@nattgarun i wanted to register for a blu-ray player but was denied (also wildly dating myself here, i'm aware) — PolitiTweet.org

@danperkinz the Pixel 5’s battery life was quite good, so i’d be surprised to see a regression there also aren’t the rumors saying over 4,600mAh for the 6? Google hasn’t confirmed those specs yet — PolitiTweet.org

@chriswelch damn chris, too soon — PolitiTweet.org

@efboli i would have liked to have seen another Pixel 5-sized model, but i guess that’s just a fleeting dream at this point — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

i’m liking the look of the smaller* Pixel 6 (*actually still big, but smaller than the 6 Pro) https://t.co/Qaqo5X95iO — PolitiTweet.org

@danwroc apps crash here and there and battery life isn’t great, but i haven’t seen many system crashes — PolitiTweet.org

every single device i own and use regularly (phones, computers, watch, tablet) is now running a beta version of its respective OS and uh i guess i’m a glutton for punishment — PolitiTweet.org

@ItsSheVee in general, the Nest Temp sensors are very limited all around, so it fits in with the theme of the product, at least — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@ItsSheVee yeah but I get it — wi-fi wouldn’t work well on a battery powered device and I don’t know if the older learning thermostats support other wireless protocols like Thread or Zigbee. — PolitiTweet.org

@ItsSheVee my house is a split-level, so the distance between floors isn’t quite as great as a true three story house. that said, i didn’t encounter any range issues with the Nest temp sensors in my months of testing them. hope this helps! — PolitiTweet.org

@JakeSwearingen @BeccaFarsace @chriswelch (sneak peek, despite not being perfect, the AirPods Pro are consistently the best mic performers every time we do comparison tests) — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@JakeSwearingen @BeccaFarsace does a mic test outdoors with every set of buds she makes a video of — look for her Nothing vid next week. until then, @chriswelch has mic impressions in the written review right now! — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@justinbprice they are the market leader, yup. consistently wins in every test we do against new models. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@JakeSwearingen AirPods Max, which probably aren’t great for sweaty walks outside! i use them at my desk primarily. the mic quality bw them & the Sony WH-1000XM4 was stark enough that i chose getting soaked on the price and having heavier headphones with shorter battery life and no power button. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@Itson2d we test it in every review :) — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

jake is right, mic quality is quickly rising to the top of my list of things i care about with wireless headphones and bad mics are a dealbreaker. i chose the last pair i purchased specifically because the mics worked better in calls than others i tested. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @jake_k: nothing’s design is great, but bad mic quality is a killer these days https://t.co/mEexCDFaCl — PolitiTweet.org

Slack’s awkwardly-named Huddle feature hit our instance this week and it’s… actually quite good? much more reliable than the Slack call feature, which I always avoided because it was so slow to connect and flaky. built-in live transcription is v cool too https://t.co/DBIo4rhuyJ — PolitiTweet.org

i love Intel’s NUC PCs, even if they aren’t the most practical things. here’s @StarFire2258’s look at the latest Beast Canyon model, a bigger, beastlier model than the prior ones: https://t.co/BLCdPwOnLS — PolitiTweet.org

here’s @chriswelch’s review of the Nothing Ear 1, which turn out to be nothing special, despite the hype parade. good price, though! https://t.co/c6ul01O5Lj — PolitiTweet.org

@harmlesskarl to be clear, i’d love for life to go back to normal! but it’s hard for me to do things that take greater risks while my kids still can’t get the vaccine. once they are able to be vaxxed, it will likely change the calculus for us. — PolitiTweet.org

dan seifert @dcseifert

@harmlesskarl we did once, before the numbers started climbing up again. (at that point infection percent near me was hovering around 0%) even then, we chose a place that wasn’t busy when we went and didn’t sit near others. this weekend we considered going out and opted for takeout instead. — PolitiTweet.org

@nattgarun maybe you should poke some ventilation holes in it like when you put a bug in a jar as a kid — PolitiTweet.org
