This chapter features an engaging discussion about the latest technological advancements in outdoor gear, focusing on Apple Intelligence updates and innovative products like the MOGO exoskeleton. The speakers debate the practicality of high-end hiking gear, including a pair of augmented hiking pants and a lightweight device to assist backpackers. Personal anecdotes about hiking challenges and reflections on aging add humor and depth to the conversation about staying active in the great outdoors.
This week, we have a nice mix of gadgets and software to talk about. First, Andrew tries to convince Marques and David why a pair of $4,500 pants might be worth the money before everyone gives their thoughts on the new Friend AI wearable. After that, we talk about Apple Intelligence (or lack thereof) in the new iOS Beta before talking about the launch of SearchGPT from OpenAI. To wrap it up Marques gives his quick thoughts on the new Nothing Phone 2a Plus before getting into trivia. Hope you enjoy!
