I hope I made a good purchase! It was that or a Hisense U8!

After the last Vergecast I bought a TVL QM8K on a Black Friday special!

Decorating for Christmas is the best.

Apartment so drafty I’m wearing a beanie indoors.

Does @theverge.com have a TV buyers guide for midrange TVs? I’m talking things like the Roku Pro TVs or the Hisense U7/8. Trying to decide on a 75 inch set for Christmas. @davidpierce.xyz @reckless.bsky.social

I am very much my mother’s son.

I am also very much my father’s son in that we are constantly texting about EV’s and how to make pizza.

Vote (for @SpanbergerForVA and @MikieSherrill) Save America. 🇺🇸

Not now sweetie, Daddy’s busy looking at Amazon’s leadership principles. #TheSims #WorkHalloween

Something you’ll realize when you hit your mid-30s….taking an Aleve always hits so good.

Voting is fun! Let’s bring it home for Mikie Sherrill!

Oh my current car only has wired CarPlay! But maybe the audio there is still Bluetooth?

I had the Traq and Equinox on my list for car chopping next summer and just like that, they’re gone. I’m a big Apple Music and Podcasts guy and not having those as native apps is a dealbreaker. Even if Bluetooth sounded as good (it doesn’t) playing with my phone while driving isn’t ideal.

I’m going to try to hold off one more year! Just a careful balance of my trade in value depreciating too much.

I’m a little obsessed with the third device in the #VersionHistory logo seemingly being based on a Cybiko - my first “smart” communications device at 10 years old that did no communicating because the range was only like 300 feet and I knew no one else who had one. @davidpierce.xyz @theverge.com

Im gesture curious in that I’ll get a notification on a run from say Dunkin’ Donuts, hit a million buttons to clear it and accidentally exit the workout app. It’s a minor annoyance but clear a notification with a flick might be nice. I was just holding out for a hardware design change.

@vicmsong.bsky.social another question based on your Apple Watch Ultra review! I’m a marathoner and have had the OG Apple Watch Ultra since the day it came out. Is it finally time to upgrade or hold out another year? My battery is going but I don’t have many other complaints!

Awesome thank you! I’ve been a Beats Fit Pro user because of this for years (and the leaks on that upgrade are not super enticing) so I’m hoping The APP3 work out.

Great review. If we were not able to run with AirPods Pro 2 because the fit wasn’t secure enough, do you think the AP3 might be better for that? Is the fit that improved?

What more reasonable for one person? 3 or 4 raisin’ canes tenders?

Hi Bluesky.

This was SO SO SO SO good.

Someone explain to me how the AMC E. 19th just isn’t showing MEGAN 2.0 this weekend at all?

Rosé in the summertime.

My parents are going to come home and, while being too nice to ask me to turn it off since I’m recovering from surgery, be horrified how nerdy I am watching a tech podcast on the TV in the living room. @theverge.com @davidpierce.xyz @reckless.bsky.social @joannastern.bsky.social

Sometimes whilst watching Drag Race I think about trying a death drop alone in my apartment but I also fully understand I would break myself completely.

This #DragRaceAllStars tournament format is ALMOST perfect. But I think the discussion before handing out the points makes it worse. The queens should just lock in their points and then reveal them. Points would be more random this way.

Even if it’s maybe/probably false, it would be interesting to hear some take on each selection.

I’m just hoping @daltonross.bsky.social has the exclusive with Jeff Probst where he justifies every decision they made on the #Survivor50 cast.

Kyle simply out maneuvered a group of seemingly kind people who, with the exception of his closest ally, apparently had very little interest in playing #Survivor. He deserves the win here. #Survivor48
