Are the Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Samsung Watch, Garmin, Fitbit and all the other smart wearables functional or just a fad? Can they help connect you, protect you, and keep you from harm, or just overwhelm you with numbers and cause some alarm?Doctor Mike, noted YouTube creator, family physician, and pro boxer joins me to talk about about health in the age of tech!

Does Intel's future lie in foundry? Can AMD ever grow its market share? Will MediaTek compete at the higher end? Is custom back at Qualcomm? And will anyone catch up to Apple? Here's where silicon is heading in 2023!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Both desktop and mobile silicon are hitting the limits of physics. Power draw keeps increasing while enclosures only get smaller. Process shrinks are becoming more expensive and time-consuming. And foundries are facing geopolitical and competitive concerns. So what can Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, and all the rest do to keep improving performance?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is Elon Musk actually going to make a phone? That's what approximately 42,069 headlines in my feed are saying right now. Not a Tesla phone, Space X Starlink phone, or Neuralink phone, though that'd be kinda hella cool. Not even a Boring phone, despite a lot of people saying phones have gotten at least a little bit boring lately. But a Twitter phone. Why? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Twitter vs. Apple. Elon vs. Steve Jobs. I mean, kinda, we'll get to that in a minute. Point being, Twitter is what everyone is talking about right now. Especially on Twitter. More than FTX imploding — and exploding — at least at time of recording. More than Mark Zuckerberg laying off 11,000 people. More than Apple momentarily junking up the App Store with gambling ads. More than the FBI allegedly test-driving Pegasus spyware a couple or few years back.Elon Musk speedrunning social network leadership fantasy camp is what's dominating the hearts and drama-stems of every doom-scroller and tech media thirst trapper in the 1218 universe. So, what's going on?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've been trying to make this video about Twitter and Elon Musk for days but every time I open the app, the story has taken on a new and hilarious twist, which I'll cover here, but finally, I thought — forget it, let's just go!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And the reason… this time? I mean, same song, new verse. Apple's deleted another port, this time the SIM card slot. Moving from a traditional, card-based Subscriber Identity Module to a new-fangled ee-lec-tronic version that's no longer swappable at the hands-to-hardware level, only software. At least in the U.S. For now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Should our phones have the right to remain silent? To plead the 5th?There's doctor-patient privilege, attorney-client privilege, clergy-penitent privilege, and spousal privilege. To the best of my understanding, and with all the appropriate caveats and limits of scope, in many jurisdictions, our doctors, therapists, lawyers, priests, pastors, husbands, and wives, cannot be compelled to testify or provide evidence against us.But our phones, which nowadays contain health, legal, location, and deeply personal data — beyond any of our real-world relationships — our phones, which have pretty much become extensions of our memory, our knowledge, our senses, to the point where they're indistinguishable from external cybernetics… Our phones have no such protection. There's just no digital device equivalent to that privilege. No right for our phones to remain silent.They can and will be used against us. But as the external cybernetics become internal, as the computers move from our phones and watches and earbuds to our bodies and brains... does that need to change?sSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But Samsung has just hit deadly number 4 — Galaxies Flip and Fold the next, next, next generation.So, why? What does Samsung know — and other companies that refuse to sell their folders any place I can buy them — what do they know that Apple and Google don't? Or vice versa?Are flips and folds… the next big… bigger… smaller to bigger… Samsung thing? Or still just… extremely expensive… excessively compromised tech nerd thirst-traps — that'll be superseded by glasses or whatever — before Apple and Google even begin?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Right now your YouTube Homepage looks like... it always does. Filled with recommendations based on the videos you chose to watch in the past, and that other people like you have engaged with and enjoyed.YouTube's Discovery system works super hard to figure out the videos you personally, individually, would like to see the most, and then offers them to you.But, in the near future, there's a good chance your Homepage won't look like that anymore. It'll look more like this. At least something like this. Because it won't be based on what you like to watch anymore. It'll be based on what the government decides you should watch.And that can't be allowed to happen.

And, for most of its existence, that's counted the iPad out, almost completely. At least until last year… That's when Apple gave Swift Playgrounds the ability to use SwiftUI to create honest-to-Craig iPhone and iPad apps... on the iPad.

By bifurcating the higher-end Mac desktop lineup, by introducing the Mac Studio as the all-in-none, sealed, computing appliance successor to the 2013 J90 trashcan Mac Pro, Apple at the same time very neatly carved out what exactly is still needed from an Apple silicon Mac Pro, an extensible, upgradeable success to the 2019 J160 cheese-grater 2 Mac Pro.Only… Apple silicon isn't extensible or upgradeable, right? Everything is on die, like CPU and GPU, or on package like RAM, or fused like the NAND storage chips? Or is it?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
