This Tech

The most awkward moments on a developer conference livestream ever, Sonic problems, and millions of dollars. It's a chill episode this week as Charles is recovering from breaking himself and Anthony is somewhat sick from F8.  Follow us @pretzelcharles @newarb71703 Say hello: thistech@przlstudios.com 30 hours

It's cool but who wants a folding phone after all? Also: Is Edge dead?  Follow us @pretzelcharles @newarb71703 Say hello: thistech@przlstudios.com Stink Bugs

Hot off the heels of CES, where Apple announces they're playing ball with almost every TV manufacture under the sky, the unbelievable happens: AirPower hits production. Allegedly. And Smart Battery Cases, for good measure.  Follow us @pretzelcharles @newarb71703 Say hello: anchor@przlstudios.com Paper Clips

Siri makes multiple appearances on this episode of the podcast. She didn’t do very well. It’s a metaphor for the entire company of Apple. Mainly the iPhone, actually.  Follow us @pretzelcharles @newarb71703 Say hello: anchor@przlstudios.com Indestructible ladybugs

It's a rather chill episode with the usual rants about the future of technology, Google's inability to manage their library of projects, and cell carriers. Also, a deep contemplation on the future of Microsoft, a company that recently came close to surpassing Apple in market value but can't get people to switch from Google Drive.

Charles leads us on a rant about what the future of computing looks like. Meanwhile, Anthony has sound issues. It's a good look for our season premier, isn't it.

What is an iPad, really? What is the Mac mini, really? What is the MacBook Air, really. In typical This Tech fashion, Charles and Anthony got real philosophical on the outcome of the recent Apple event.

From AirPower to Air MacBooks, Apple has a lot of consumer exceptions to manage. This week, Charles and Anthony struggle to make sense of Apple's pricing structure and featureset for the future of computing.

In the future of monthly gaming subscriptions, Steam Fog still might not win out against Discord Nitro. Also Charles hates Spotify, Apple, and the people playing Rocket League in the studio at 9pm on a Friday.

Charles takes more shots at bad suds, wifi chips, screens, pens, keyboards, and a new payment plan. Chargegate is as silly and as stupid as the others. And issues in the studio.

I guess I'll just use candles to light my house when the WiFi goes out.

Imagine your home security, Wifi mesh beacon, smoke detector, thermostat, lighting hub, voice assistant, and speaker in one cylinder. It's coming, to eat you. Also, malicious links, AGAIN :/

Big phones for deep pockets. A weird looking Apple Watch that might not be released: https://twitter.com/pretzelcharles/status/1040025245065728000 Also, AirPods conspiracies, AirPower, no freaking iPad Pro, and a little discord about Discord, on a broken Discord call. This week's episode is early cause if we record it right after the Apple event, it'll make for a better podcast, right? Maybe not.

In the definitive episode, Anthony and Charles discuss existential questions about Microsoft's vision for the Surface line of devices, low end to high end. Charles also *expresses his feelings* regarding the last time Pretzel Studios gave him a Surface Pro and why we *drop tested* 15 Surface Pro 3s last year after getting MacBooks.

Enjoy this load of Apple Music and dongle hell. We're taking a break for the holiday but we'll be back *sometime soon.*

As always, when there's no massive tech conference, Anthony and Charles break out the analogies, comparing Snapchat's long term business model to that of Discord and something called the FlipGrip to the MarioKart WiiMote Wheel thing.
