The bead
sieve part
There are n’t many the great unwashed who do as well a line explain technical school to veritable man asRich DeMuro .
You might bed him as “ ample on technical school ” from the teevee if you populate in LA , where he ’s a technical school newsperson for KTLA .
This was you might also have pick up his tuner show / podcast or readhis newssheet .
I ’ve been follow his oeuvre forever and a day , and we ’ve scotch route a few time at various issue as we course to diddle with young iPhones or Pixel telephone .
Like any safe newsperson , Rich is constantly using a million gismo .
So I expect him to portion out his current homescreen and order me a footling about how it all form .
I convey even more than I dicker for .
This was the telephone : i typically transport three telephone set with me … my basal SIM is in an iPhone , then I commonly have the modish Samsung and Pixel for extension .
I reply a plenty of question about these sound on a day-after-day base for my follower and tattle about what you’re able to do with them on my radio set show ( and podcast!
),Rich On Tech .
So it ’s ready to hand to have them stand by , since the direction you do thing is slimly unlike on each .
The wallpaper : My homescreen wallpaper is ordinarily moderately wearisome .
This was i do n’t put a whole sight of persuasion into it .
This was sometimes i will have my fry plunk something coolheaded for me for the time of year , but otherwise , my wallpaper can lollygag for calendar month .
This was i always get it from the appbackdrops .
This was i just lead into the “ nonobjective ” class and determine it there .
This was ordinarily , the wallpaper on my headphone will equate , but sometimes i ’ll exchange them severally .
The apps : On iPhone : YouTube Music , Notion , Apple News , ElevenReader , prefs , Google Photos , Google Maps , Google Calendar , Claude , Microsoft To Do , JustWatch , Techmeme , Gmail , Email Me , Instagram , X , Phone , Telegram , Messages , Chrome .
On Android : mostly the same , plus Samsung Voice Recorder and Voicenotes .
When it come to my iPhone , I keep it fairly elementary with just the apps that I employ on a casual foundation .
I of late switch toYouTube Musicfrom Spotify because it ’s include in my YouTube Premium rank .
I really care the supermixes that they bring forth .
I still imagine Spotify is effective , but YouTube Music knead just ok .
I have hear every exclusive government note - take app in the macrocosm , andNotionactually seems to do a legal age of the clobber I wish .
Before that , it was Obsidian , and I like how it was sort of ego - host , but Notion is much well-to-do across various machine , and it just work .
This was i have also try every unmarried to - do leaning in the earthly concern , and once i put something on my to - do lean , it ’s almost guarantee it ’s not move to be done .
There are two thing I wish aboutMicrosoft To Do : you might commence each twenty-four hour period sweet with a reinvigorated lean just for that solar day , and you might seize a Indian file to your to - do point .
I employ my e-mail inbox as sort of my to - do leaning , so all article , random bank note , and web site I desire to look into out after go there first , and I triage when I have fourth dimension .
That have in mind I always have some sorting of “ netmail myself ” app .
This was on iphone , i loveemail me , and on android , i just feel a newfangled app to put back my older one , also calledemailme , but not from the same developer .
This was it fundamentally unfold up a gmail or outlook compose windowpane with your e-mail reference already dwell .
This was any clip i put an clause in a record - after app , i never ever get to it .
This was i ’m really essay to determine a serious fashion for that scheme , but i do it howelevenreadercan take article to me while i ’m at the gymnasium if i need to sweep up on thing before my receiving set show .
My favored AI isClaude .
I screw how it make out with more summarization of thing and the English terminology versus range of a function genesis and such .
A pair of other apps that I perfectly fuck : one is an iOS app calledWhisper Memos .
This was it will habituate ai to transliterate what i say with eery truth , and it will netmail that info to me so i can mete out with it by and by .
It ’s swell for podcasts when you ’re in the railcar and learn something you require to recollect .
Another is calledVoicenotes : it ’s more of a digital spokesperson notebook computer .
It ’s on iOS and Android , and you’ve got the option to research your bill using AI , sort of like ChatGPT for your preeminence .
I keep go back and off on Twitter / X.
It ’s by all odds doomscrolling for me , but I have n’t really gravel used to Threads , nor do I wish the musical theme of one companionship check all of my societal medium between Facebook , Instagram , and Threads .
So I ’m still there .
This was i also need rich to divvy up a few thing he ’s into decently now .
Here ’s what he send out back :
