Loving the Nebula EDC chat with Ali! It’s like one of the purest nerd distillations; comparing gear and getting ideas about how to do things differently, things to buy, apps to get… I love how you can see where both of you had the, “ooh, this is cool and I didn’t know about it but I want it!” moments 😍😎 I also enjoy the colour of your shirt(s) 💚

The secret wallet has an additional feature: The NFC chip of all the five cards in the aluminum case part of the wallet is protected from being read from the outside via the aluminum. There were some serious privacy and security problems when the nfc chips came out some years ago and that gave rise to the idea of the secret wallet. At the beginning the "minimalist" nature of the wallet was secondary.

I got such tiny hands, that the 11 inch keyboard works great for me! Those headphones from apple, are a strictly stay out at your desk headphones on a nice stand. Those cord keepers can be bought on places like Wish and AliExpress. If you ever come to Denmark, leave the pocket knife at home, the blade is big enough to get you into trouble with the law here. I wish Otter had an watch OS app. How far can you travel on that battery before it needs recharged on your bike?

@Thomasfrank 2 жыл бұрын

I just got a fairly cheap zipper case for the Apple headphones, so now they're on par with all the others for portability. Yep, never travel with the knife! I can't go on planes anyway. I also have to leave it home whenever I go to Boulder, as they have way stricter knife laws than the rest of Colorado. Otter Watch OS app - yes please. I've been hounding them on Twitter about it. I have a Trek Allant, and the battery will do about 105km on Eco mode. I got the Range Extender battery installed, so my bike's range is more like 185km now.

@Thomasfrank 2 жыл бұрын

Those are the bud versions, right? I have Airpods Pro for that purpose, but I am testing the over-ear XM4 for my headphone video. I'd agree that the noise cancelling is about equal to the Airpods Max. A lot of reviews say the APM are slightly better, but to my ears they're about the same. However, I much prefer the sound of the APM, which is one of the reasons I'll be keeping them - even though I do think the XM4 are the best in terms of overall value for the price.

Maybe it’s just me but I find carrying an mobile office very tiresome and sometimes downright painful. If I add a GoPro, a tripod, some coins, an external hard drive, it is very uncomfortable.
