Clockwise

Black Friday tech deals we're eyeballing, Meta features that should go retro, whether decentralized internet was better, and how we troubleshoot tech issues.

Our mobile ID usage, the oldest tech we regularly use, smart TVs and spying, and our favorite pre-smartphone phones.

Using agentic AI features, iPhone upgrade methods, Apple Podcast app updates in iOS 26.2, and whether you'll tone down Liquid Glass in version 26.1.

What we use our Apple Watches for, moving to a new HomeKit home, the tech we use while cooking, and a new humanoid robot for the home.

Voice commands we use regularly, whether robotic pets benefit society, recent tech features that surprised us, and our e-reader and page turner preferences.

Apple's M5 updates and whether we use AI locally, media that's brought us joy recently, whether the Vision Pro update changes our minds, and the Apple services and products we would rename.

Whether color e-ink displays feel compelling or like a fad, our impressions of OpenAI’s Sora and text-to-video tech, how we manage Mac menu bar icons, and whether we’ll use the new resizable Slide Over feature in iPadOS 26.1 and for what purpose.

Amazon's new hardware rollouts, the health tech we use, our favorite third-party apps, and Google's new home ecosystem.

Our interest in Meta’s new AR Display glasses, views on iPhone scratch concerns, when we choose to repair vs. replace devices, and the existential question posed by iPhone Air’s allure.

Our iPhone buying decisions, which Apple product we would change colors, how often we manage storage space, and our current headphone situation.

Thoughts on Apple’s iPhone colors this year, whether we’d try the new TechWoven cases, if we’re doing any AI-related work on our phones, and whether there’s still room for innovation in the iPhone compared to Apple Watch or AirPods.

Google's antitrust woes (or lack thereof), encounters with buggy apps in betas, camping tech, and how thin is too thin when it comes to technology.

The tech we have in our vehicles, the dependable tech that just works and what might make us replace it, how often we upgrade our phones or computers and why, and which social platforms we use — including where we heard about Taylor Swift's engagement.

Whether we've used tech to build habits lately, if we edit Wikipedia, our approach to software updates, and if we blog or have any blog recommendations.

Our display setup and window management; which legacy online component should be sunset after AOL dial-up; whether new Shortcuts and Apple Intelligence automation appeals; and views on YouTube’s AI age verification and the best and worst ways to do it.

Our approach to cable management at home, the tech we pack for inflight entertainment, the devices and chargers we bring on quick trips, and our go-to strategy for international phone data plans.

Our experiences with tap‑to‑exchange features like phone payments, what we truly consider ephemeral online, a recent tech frustration that hampered productivity, and opinions on children's shoes with hidden AirTag slots.

Whether we buy AppleCare, how we clear out our inboxes, our smartwatch band habits, and travel tips for coming to America.

Our MMORPG experience and enjoyment; how we pick restaurants or cafés on the road—Google Maps, Yelp, etc.; the tech we never leave home without and if it's more or less than before; and the arcade game we'd love to own as an original cabinet.

Apple's beta season commences, Jack Dorsey's new chat app, how we wake up in the morning, and whether we have security cameras.
