I'm Sarah Lane And I'll say thank you boss, please don't fire me Are we good, I don't know are we ready? Yes Oh Sarah can you say sure? Yeah, three two Daily Tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to daily tech news show comm slash support This is the day tech news for Wednesday, January 10th 2018 from DTMS in a different part I'm Sarah Lane. I'm Shannon Morse and I'm built up Major power. Yeah, if you follow any tech journalist on Twitter use lots of jokes about Lacka than ever You know but truly it's unless you're an exhibitor because they're they were all worried about stuff getting stolen Yeah from their bruise Most of everyone else is kind of stuck outside or in one of the other halls which we are not luckily Happened so we would let her back in And we're like we shouldn't leave Yeah, we're sure we want to leave because we had to take all over here with us Yeah, and so finally at one point we had to make the call, you know make the truck up here Shannon It's this location. Thank you so much Absolutely, and I was just sitting here eating brownies and I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I can help I found this I actually had to go outside and then run the gauntlet again Fight my way through security and get back into the hallway, but you know, it all worked out That's right, you know, it just so happened I was chilling at the Panasonic booth when it happened and I was checking out the new Lumix g5 GH5 s which is supposed to be an excellent low-light video camera So I grabbed my SD card I stuck it in the GH5 s and I started walking around the booth with it and I was like well I guess this is my booth doer actually did pretty well. So I was pretty impressed I guess for everybody who says you know a lot of you know tech folks complain. See you should be glad to go to CES It's like the one thing it needs is power It's hard to show TVs without power. It sure is. Yeah Right or large modular micro led walls If you want to get a look at what the floor looked like I put up a little facebook live post And it's up on our facebook pit vote group facebook.com slash daily tech news show Big round of applause for Roger Chang our producer though who like I convinced him to move like uh He's like I didn't want to give up. Yeah, it's like no So let's start with a few tech things you should know In response to reports that he might leave Apple come August Jimmy I have been told Variety I am committed to doing whatever Eddie Q and Tim cook and Apple need me to do to help wherever And however, right? Pickles He stock vested a long time ago. So he's trying to make us think he isn't going anywhere Be very curious in August Intel issued a statement saying its tests show the fixes inspector and meltdown can cause performance slowdown of two to 14 percent But Intel still maintains it should not be significant for average Computer users Intel's eighth gen core chips its newest line We'll see a performance impact of no more than six percent According to Intel that's a lot less than what I was hearing about from specter and mount meltdown. So I'm While they're saying like yeah, this is the numbers that we're getting I'm really interested to see some like real-time data from a lot of other places as well Not just the cpu manufacturers Speaking of specter in video has issued software updates for its drivers to mitigate against the specter In its g4's tesla grid nvs and quadro chips the gpus themselves aren't vulnerable to the flaws only cpu so More products in its line and continues to examine others Phillips announced hue sync for windows 10 and macOS high ciara that matches hue lights to what's on your screen Now this may sound like just a novelty But eventually this could lead to custom lighting from movie and video game makers phillips also said it will have its First outdoor lights coming this summer We've actually seen some similar things coming out from for example alienware around pcs And usually it's the backlighting on the monitor or on the laptop or whatever you're using the game And they'll match whatever it is that's happening in the video game So it ends up giving you a really nice like emotional appeal and it kind of draws you into the video game a little more So I like Using that kind of backlighting. I think it's really pretty but it is kind of a gimmick if you don't really care about that Microsoft from qualcomm announced verizon sprint china telecom telecom italia and ee will all provide lte support For always on windows devices that are running on qualcomm snap dragon processor that brings the total number of carriers on board to 18 Not 180 Now here our support top story senator john thune chairman of the commerce science and transportation committee sent a letter to Tim cook on january 9th with questions about apple's battery management that slows down older iPhones senator thune asks about possible free battery replacements or rebates for people who paid full price for replacements He also asked how apple notified customers of software changes. That's my big bugaboo is why didn't they tell people they were doing this I don't think they need to necessarily give free batteries to people batteries wear out. That's natural But why didn't they say we're doing this mitigation stuff your phone from dying and to explain why the phones were dying You know everybody sees slowdowns and if you think it's just engineered obsolescence You go out and you buy a new phone for 800 dollars instead of just getting a new battery for 79 and now 29 So, I mean, I I'm glad they're looking into it. I I don't think this is this is something that I I expect That apple's gonna, you know throw free batteries at people that you never know Stranger things have happened. Yeah Samsung's smartphone head or head of smartphones dj co told zd net that the galaxy s9 will be announced at mobile world congress next month Sort of an announcement about an announcement Mobile world congress runs from february 26th through march 1st co also told zd net that samsung plans to launch a foldable phone in 2018 But didn't provide any more details beyond that phone. Wait a minute. This was going to go into quick hits until they said foldable phone so well now How is foldable different than flip? Does it have to Yeah, I want to see the screen folding like does it does it go from being a roll up phone With a touchscreen on the front, but then you fold it open and you get a larger screen and maybe a tablet interface something like that Sounds like a pda Very retro You're skeptical of the foldable phone that anyone would want it. I think you're not alone but I just want to know what what that means. I know I'm curious to see if it's actually hinged. Yeah, or if it's just I mean is it roll up like that? Like The mind boggles Facebook is testing a new section called today in Users in six cities across the united states will see stories from local publishers as well as any emergency announcements from local authorities Facebook's news partnership team will approve local news sources that appear in the section So this is a test there. It's not going to be front and center. It's going to be in the menu So they're going to see if people in Little Rock, Billings, Peoria, New Orleans will go in to find their local news stories But I I personally think this is an important thing I find it harder and harder to rely on my local paper because they're so focused on national and international news To find out neighborhood stuff. This could be a great solution to that Well, so many people on facebook too just happen to have a lot of friends from wherever they grew up And that isn't necessarily where you live now And so that's the sort of thing where I would like to filter Somewhere around, you know by my hometown in some capacity Oh, yeah Because I care about that stuff and I know a lot of people who are on facebook that also do right now You have to say your locations where this is to see it But they said eventually you might be able to do that say oh your hometown sabbatical your hometown's greenville You know, you can get that news too. I mean, do you think this could help the uh solve solve the local news gap You know, I don't know it's hard because you know, it takes money to create local news So a lot of newsrooms and local papers have cut back on journalist staff And so, you know, if they have if they still have good local news and if facebook can bring in some additional revenue Maybe to these smaller independent publishers Or the small group publishers, then yeah, I think it could help and I agree with the I want to know what's happening in my hometown, you know, someone who moved away from a small town You know, a lot of times what you use facebook for is to reconnect with those people in the events in the small town So, um, if you do through the paper Well, uh features of twitter that I've always liked the most. I don't know who else uses it But I search for tweets near me about something, you know, if I thought there was an earthquake or I don't know car accident or whatever It's like needle in the haystack because it's twitter and you just sort of see if something surfaces and maybe you get something Maybe you don't Facebook is good at organizing that sort of information more than at least my experience on twitter. So I'm all for it Yeah, I look at it and I think okay facebook's not monetizing this Which means that the news sources aren't going to be able to monetize it on facebook. Maybe they'll change that It'll drive some traffic to them. Maybe that helps with advertising But you're right the monetization of this is is a big problem and it's funny to me I was thinking about this while we were talking the greenville advocate my hometown newspaper in greenville, illinois And wgl the radio station do a better job of covering stuff on the web Then like Only option I think it depends on the tradition right in the paper if they have good local news coverage now my hometown paper the henry county local You know, it's like farm machinery stuff and local weddings and marriages and local things at the high school, you know Um, that's cool. You know, I'm interested in that. I want to see what happened Um, so I guess it just depends on how good the local paper is I know everybody that got married in greenville last year. I know nobody who got married in my neighborhood Because nobody did maybe that's it My hometown uh newspaper only published once a week on wednesday But that would include everyone who had been arrested since the last wednesday It was it was a whole page. So everybody knew everybody's business. Yeah, gotta love small towns Apple will transfer its iCloud operations in china to china-based gcbd starting february 28th This is in order to better comply with laws requiring customer data to be stored within china itself Apple said customers don't won't notice the change don't have to worry about backdoors being created Into any of its systems well, but it you know, whenever we talk about i'm sure they believe that That's part of a china company handling iCloud information. I can't wait to hear about this at deftcon It's gonna be great. I'm sure there'll be something to say about it I mean and and this is the trend of big companies having to hand over their data management to local industries in china Because china has been cracking up this law has been around for a while But they've really been cracking down on saying no your data has to be managed here Yeah, uh, you can and if i'm amazon i'm like That's a technical challenge to keep it there. I you know, I've got instances all over the world That's less efficient. I'm just gonna hand this off to somebody else same for apple Well, apple has been very very good about encrypting their devices and about their data policies Quite well, especially in the past couple of years So I wouldn't expect for them to allow china to put any kind of backdoors in the product or anything like that so For them to say that I have a lot more trust in them than I would other companies if they said the same thing But even if they didn't want to It seems to increase the likelihood that the government could do it anyway If they wanted to and then you know apple's hands and anyone's hands are tied at that point There's only so much you can do if if the government can get gcbd to do it Then apple doesn't have any part of that anymore. Yeah other than contracts or whatever T-mobile launched a narrow band iot that's nbiot service plan for customers who want to connect multiple devices Connections cost six dollars a year and six dollars a month six dollars a year for up to 12 megabytes of data So the idea is you use this for a lot of different devices Mbiot is mainly being rolled out in europe and asia So t-mobile is kind of the first one in north america or at least in the united states to do it Verizon and AT&T are pursuing a different version of this called cat m T-mobile expects to launch its own cat m variant by the middle of this year So they're they're just going to nbiot first. It's not necessarily a format war. It's a it's a Different take on the spec both services offer better battery life than gprs or lte cat 4 So they're going to replace that and if you're like wait a minute So if I want to hook up a nescam, I got to pay an extra six dollars a year. That's you hook that thing up to wi-fi This is for uh smart meters Fire alarms and intruder alarms that need to be independent of your wi-fi health devices industrial appliances stuff like that Okay, and that's really you know, it's the connectivity. It really makes these devices work So you can't have millions billions and eventually, you know trillions of iot devices Spread out all around the smart city without having some form of connectivity And so being able to do that in economical fashion You know makes all the difference in the world. Yeah, and we heard so much about smart cities cds this week This is the bonanza for these companies and they can get that business and be the company that provides connection for that Well, that is a look at our top stories. Thanks to everybody who follows us if you want to get your headlines Again a big thanks to rich straffolino who's been covering the daily tech headlines every day That's less than five minutes. It's available on your amazon echo on your google home on the anchor app and of course at dailytechheadlines.com as a podcast Well, let's talk about some of those things we saw at ces this week As usually happens on day two of ces the press has been covering it for four days So the actual announcements start to slow down a little bit And it gives us a chance to kind of look back on a couple of those things that we've mentioned But maybe we didn't get a chance to talk about a little more So i asked bill and shannon To pick one of those things that's really stuck out to them because that's what everybody always does when you walk Out cds like what's the one thing that stuck out to you? So we'll start with you shannon. What what caught your eye? So it was pretty cool. Um yesterday I got a chance to go hang out with nvidia up at their suite and they had a new htc Vive pro setup in a very very small somewhat cramped room They were claiming is that this one has a 78 percent increase in the resolution So it's supposed to be a lot lot better whenever you put it on It's supposed to look a lot nicer So you won't have to deal with like squinting to see different things or moving it around as much to find the Perfect setting on your eyeballs And I have to say when I put it on and I was actually using it It was a lot easier for me to focus on different things, especially since I was playing in fps So a first person shooter is very hard in a virtual reality concept Especially if you can't see what you're looking at if you're on a low resolution or if you're really focusing on the pixels As opposed to what's happening around you now with the htc vive pro I still noticed that there were pixels on the screen But since the resolution has increased little things like tiny details of lines written on scenarios like Uh, king wall and it had japanese writing on it some some kanji characters I could read each and every one of those kanji characters and it didn't look blurry at all It was very very nice and very detailed So I was really impressed with the resolution But not just that it was also incredibly comfortable Even though there were headphones that they stick on the side of your ears now It builds in headphones. Yeah, and they're they're on ear headphones So I was worried that they would tire out my ears or they would hurt a lot because generally headphones really hurt my ears But these ones cupped them very comfortably They didn't squeeze too hard and you have the ability to change how far you want them away from you So it's really easy to set them to whatever the width of your head is So you're not worried about having them too tight to your head and they sounded good as well As far as being able to play the game and how well it connected with your graphics card Of course a lot of that is going to depend on what kind of graphics card you're using They recommended to me something over a 1080 i or over gtx 1080 i or plus So if you have a 1060 or lower, they mentioned that you might have to lower the details in your video game So it'll still work. You just not get the full power. It'll still work But it won't look as good as one of the newer ones which kind of makes sense And for the record I was playing a game called brawl data and it had all these androids chasing after you It was really scary. It was very scary. One jumped right out at me. No, they really don't stop But apparently I was the only person to beat the boss. Yeah, you so you did well Yeah, I did very well. You've never played the game before I've never played the game ever ever in my life And he just gave me some very simple directions like how to put in the little thing for your gun And that was about it and I was like, okay, and then I started shooting androids So Apparently it works quite well if I can do it. Yeah I I've played raw data. Yeah, and I don't think I would have done as well as you Have you played it in virtual reality? Yeah, I played it on the vibe Makes all the difference those extra pixels I have played on the vibe just not that game on the vibe So I can't make a direct comparison between that video game on those two separate head headsets But from what I was able to experience in that room. I was really impressed by the resolution Now did you get a chance to use the wireless one or was it I did not this one was tethered However, the wireless one I heard is going to be able to use with the original vibe or the vibe pro They haven't set out a price for either of them yet The original vibe is over 600 or $600 just felt So I would assume that the vibe pros since the resolution is so much better It's probably going to be A couple hundred bucks over that maybe that's what I would guess Now it wasn't so immersive you went wandering out into the show floor like what you saw No You saw somebody just kind of I did you know When you have these VR experiences or they're fairly immersive and so you can get into them As someone who's used the oculus a rift and the vibe and even the PlayStation VR You know, you kind of forget where you are. I was actually playing Skyrim on the psvr the other day and one of the characters on the screen walked in The room out of another door and I really for a moment half a second I jumped because I thought the person was in my real room I mean it was I was like, oh, no, that's that's fake. So As we saw on the show floor today somebody playing one of these games and they were literally Looking for a carrot. I know that because that's what the booth Attendant was telling him and he was down on the ground trying to pick this carrot up. I thought he was sick At first I was like, I'm like, okay This man needs help This this man needs help and then I saw the headset and I'm like, oh, he's playing a game, right? It's okay. Well, everybody walks past and sort of goes around him. I like it seems like a very immersive game for him Yes, he truly forgot where he was. He really wanted that carrot That carrot works better than the stick. That's a group right there Bill, what about you? What's your pick so far? You know, I the most interesting thing that I've seen so so far Isn't actually on the show floor and this is what some, you know, kind of You have kind of go out and find it sometimes Um, it's the lg rollable display. This is a um 65 inch We were talking about the foldable phone. So this is a flexible display and lg display which is separate from lg electronics Um lg display has shown these off in years past that you could bend and you could roll them up That was a big thing a couple years ago. Well, but they were small So this one is 65 inches. Um, and it's designed to roll down into a box It's about I don't know about this big. It's about 50. I think millimeters or so In width, um, and it's really cool because it allows you to think well Why do you need a rollable display beyond just being able to maybe mold it around a curved wall or something like that? But the display that they were showing The display of the display that they were showing Showed it in various heights. So that was what was pretty unique about it, right? So you could have it fully extended to just watch television But let's say you just wanted to see the weather or let's say you just want to Just um, you know Or you want those uh from a photo album that was streamed to it you could have it come up Maybe halfway or a quarter of the way. Um, if you wanted to only see half of the screen You could do that so there were a lot of presets uh that they had built in That you could use for different sort of you know effects that you want to have so I thought this was really interesting Now the sad part is I don't know when I want it now And I don't know when they're and you don't know it's a concept, right? And you don't know how much you're gonna have to pay for something like this as well It's funny, of course, just because now I don't understand half the technology that's being created It's like, but why don't you just keep it unrolled the whole time? And if you want to see whether it's just like part of the tv But it's also like saying well some people like those media stands that close because they don't want to look at the tv Unless they're using it, right? So there's all sorts of reasons that you might not want to see a tv And if it can be rolled up and put away Off Right in a coffee table. I imagine it's like let's say you didn't want the tv out all the time Let's say you had kids and you didn't want them to damage the screen Oh, let's say you had a shop or it was in a retail environment and it was in the ceiling And you wanted to protect it when you weren't there the shop was closed Or usually a room is a dining room or a media center depending on your room Yeah So imagine if you could roll this, you know the screen up in the small box And ship that as opposed to shipping this big rigid piece of glass. It's likely to break Sure. Yeah, I can imagine sticking it in like a poster shipper That's right rolling it up and shipping it'd be a ups or something. That's so funny And I think I was going to be the guy who said I Do you really want this? I mean it's a cool demo. It's cool technology But who who neat really uses those cabinets and doesn't just leave them open all the time Who really wants this rolling up? They you're giving me a couple of ideas to think about like with kids and Since I vend at defcon a lot of times we always bring tvs with us And those are some of the heaviest things that we have to ship or carry on our van And if we had something that we could roll up and just prop up on a tripod or Prop up on a table while we're at the booth and then take back with us later Like that's a it's a convention full of hackers. So of course we want to protect our assets So it'd be nice if we had something that was so easy to carry around Well any last thoughts about you know, I just I hope it comes to market sometime in the near future I hope it's not one of those ideas that comes to CES to die. Yeah, you know Clip that out and put that next to your favorite CES announcement because that's always the thing That's right. Yeah. Yeah All right Well, thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com and at facebook.com slash groups slash daily tech news show Let's check in with chris christensen We usually check with him earlier in the week But we you know CES got in the way, but he's got some interesting stuff to talk about chris christensen from amateur traveler with another tech in travel minute If you're a frequent flyer like I am and you've got to the new year here You might be interested in doing what I did which is get a map Of all the different places you flew over the last year and there's a website that can help you do that It's called open flights.org You can either enter in all the flights manually, which seems like that would be a royal pain Or if you use trippett, which I know both com and I have recommended in the past You can just import your flights from trippett.com and it will turn that into both a map and a summary Of which airports you went through which airlines you flew and how many times What type of planes you flew so this is perfect for an airplane walk Which I would have to admit to be and you can learn how many segments you flew That's how many times you took off and landed So I for instance flew 49 last year and 122,546 miles If you think that sounds tiring I also learned that I was in flight for over 11 and a half days And I think I got jet lag just thinking about it Open flights.org and I'm chris christensen from amateur traveler. Thank you chris. Yeah Being able to track where you've been and put it on a map and get your stats about that Sounds really cool. But the idea of finding out that I spent What did he say 11 days in flight? Overall like This makes you feel sad. I don't want to think about it. Yeah, you say like he said he gets jet like just thinking about it Well ill bag is still there sarah. What's in it? Yeah, it is and I can even see it Chip who says he's uh from finally above zero degrees boston, which I assume is fahrenheit But still very cold glad to hear it. It's warming up chip says Listen to monday show on go pros declining sales and how their their their company seemed maybe open to selling itself Got me thinking dgi should buy go pro dgi has the drone market fairly well locked up But they don't have anything in the way of an action camera and they could basically market their drones as dgi Featuring go pro optics. Love the show keep up the great work And you know, I've I've I've heard a couple of the people speculating about this It's like well, the you know, the drone market has has gotten saturated And you know companies are going to start gobbling up other companies or companies are going to fail all together But it's go pro has a lot of great stuff And it's a good point that dgi does have the drone market or you know the lion share of it at this point But it's not doing everything better than go pro Yeah, and I look at these always in three ways like how do I feel as a customer? What would the two companies feel like so that that's the three? I'm sure go pro would be happy if dgi bought them as long as it was, you know, the right offer I'm not sure that whether dgi wants to buy go pro. Do you think there's enough value there? I mean, you've got the go pro brand which is very recognizable in the sports camera market And then you have the technology and any kind of licensing or ip that they have that would come along with it But is that I couldn't dgi and just come up with their own action camera I mean, you know, they they had a really good 4k camera on their drones And so what did they do they took it and they put it on they took the gimbal That's already on their drones and they put a handle on it and now they have a handheld That's right and so couldn't they just sort of roll their own when it came to action cameras Or is there enough in go post brand to say yeah, I want to go pro and There's no value there. Yeah, I know that's that's definitely the question I mean as a customer, I just don't want to lose Access to those cool go pro things if dgi bought them. I would be confident that they would stay Like you say, I mean it kind of makes more sense for a smaller drone operator who can't Develop their own cameras, but maybe they can pull together an acquisition or a merger or something like that I think something that dgi is kind of missing in that market is the durability Special The fact that you can take a go pro out and stick it on the front of your car and it'll be okay Especially if you have a little mount around it Like dgi doesn't really have something like that right now If they were able to implement that kind of durability into their drone market or even with their gimbals It would do them a lot of favors for a lot of people And if they could only keep the rotors from breaking when I crash them that would be the next best thing Me too Yeah, but no it's a it's a thought provoking email. So thank you chip Well, thank you to uh to to both of our guests shannon and bill shannon. We'll start with you Where can people find out everything that you have going on?

Uh Somebody that's guy news Yeah, the power outage made us leave because we didn't have power That's all right Go go go. Uh, well, we're on the stream still and I gotta publish this so Yeah, let's figure titles and do all this. Um, I I was already looking at showbots. Um And Vive Las Vegas, which could be red as we I also voted for it. So it's in the nice and first place with three I thought that was kind of funny. Um local news in your facebook We're not calling the show. There's an orange on the table.

That's all right. Yeah So five las vegas we're good. Yep Five five It took me like a solid year not to call it the weave It just looks like the word looks like a weave to me. Yeah You know, I know how to say it, but I want to say Yeah, that's right. It is I just I guess I always associated it with thrive Maybe I just have to think of it that way and then yeah That's how I remember it or five. I don't know why I want to say v I'm so international You're just a world traveler We have a speaking of v las vegas at the ran they have a robot and they have put stickers all over it and they're calling it Elvis I don't know if the robot does it roams around. Are they Elvis stickers? Where is this at the renaissance? Oh, yeah, no, we saw that road. In fact, roger had something delivered by that robot Did you have something delivered? Now, okay, so How did it actually notify you that delivery was it? Did it just keep bumping into the door it rang my phone That's what we were walking down somebody said that that oh, we could just ring the room phones. I was like, okay It works pretty well. So there's there's two one's called Elvis the other one is named priscilla. Really? okay I got it. Can you deliver like food or um the the head was the head cavity was uh Uh Like big enough to like stack maybe three notebooks. So it wasn't particularly deep or wide Like you couldn't stick a dinner plate in it kind of thing But if it like it had and it was deep enough to hold us, you know a roll of toilet paper and a little vial of I got right. Yeah, I ran out. So I needed to could you did you have to tip the robot? That's what what's the what's the tipping etiquette on the robot don't tip it It needs to go back to the base station But there's a little touch screen. No, no what you what you do in lieu of tipping is you have to rate it Really? But what did it do to warrant the the the knock why it wasn't it a five out of five? It did what it was supposed to do right did not come fast enough Like what kind of why wasn't it five? Five is is good Five is exceptional unless you give me That's the a plus. Okay. It would if if it if it talked to me. It's like hey like if it was See six out of five to me is exceptional five out of five is you did everything right? So I I I do that with uh, when I We get it we get it because so we're just wondering these go to 11 Have had to do to get um You know what if you can actually if you can actually deliver food food That would be cool. But part of it is like like um, seriously, like some people weren't letting the robot out of the elevator So, yeah, it was like an elevator like and it has to be big enough to carry a 12-inch Or 12-inch pizza pie You know something like that and it didn't seem wide enough to be But for all the normal stuff like if you need oh, I need an extra bad towel Yeah, but not more than one towel just like one towel Pretty handy. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I saw it getting out of the elevator and they had it roaming around the lobby and It was pretty cool. They but they seem to have a person with it At least like when I was there it was like, okay It's going up there when I when I saw it going along with but in the elevator Maybe that was just coincidence of one of the staff was running up with it stuck in the elevator No, that's what it was. They were like if it won't bump into people So if there's too many people getting out or something I just overheard it and fast things You know what's gonna happen, right? They're gonna they're gonna take the old dumb waiters And we resize them to fit these robots and that would be cool That would be Well now and how much of a how much pressure does this put on the hotel staff? You know the job market, right? So we have a future where robots deliver everything to the room And so you don't need anybody else to come up and like be mad at two in the morning when you ask them to bring You extra towels, right and expect a five dollar tip. Yeah Email on my phone and realize I have a laptop in front of me when I just do that Do you ever do that where you're like, oh, I have to pick up my phone to do this task because I do it on my phone Even though you could do it on your laptop or tablet or whatever All the time all the time.
