In this episode of Clockwise, hosts Mikah Sargent and Dan Moren, joined by guests Sam Henri Gold and D. Griffin Jones, tackle four tech-related topics in a fast-paced 30-minute discussion. The conversation explores personal preferences and habits around media, information management, and device usage.
The panel debates the merits of physical versus digital media, with Sam favoring the tangible experience of DVDs and CDs for browsing and nostalgia, while Dan and Griffin prioritize digital formats to minimize clutter, though Sam admits to often streaming for convenience. For managing transient information like door codes, the group shares diverse strategies: Dan uses email flags and notes, Griffin relies on a Scratchpad file and an iPhone shortcut, and Sam's brother sets a screenshot as his lock screen wallpaper. Regarding old hardware, the panel exhibits a mix of hoarding, donating, and recycling, with Griffin collecting computers and Sam using a 'vibes based' approach to keep nostalgic items. The discussion concludes with concerns about the ergonomics of a potential folding iPhone, comparing its shape to a passport and highlighting the strain on pinky fingers from one-handed use, with some longing for smaller phones like the iPhone SE.
