That's why there's Plod. It's a dedicated AI note-taking piece of hardware that captures conversations and automatically turns them into searchable transcripts, summaries, action items, and even lets you ask questions about past conversations to instantly find what you're looking for. Unlike pulling out your phone, it's always ready so you can stay focused on the conversation instead of trying to write everything down.

I thought Life Phone was just running Android. No, that's the whole point is you're supposed to just spend the $300 on an Android phone, but instead you spent it on this. So you can't do anything.
I think it does run Android, but I think there are people who like sideload it, but that's definitely not what they want.
If you want to sideload Android apps, just buy an Android phone. You don't have to do this to yourself. Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques. I'm Andrew. And I'm David. Big gadget week. Lots of new stuff is coming out, and we have thoughts on all of it. We can talk today about Garmin's new Whoop competitor, one of many. Also, Samsung has new folding phones that came out on Unpacked this week, and also a new light phone that we have thoughts on. That Marques totally loves, unconditionally.
We'll see.
Read the script, Marques. We'll see.
Awesome question.
And if you didn't see, we are back to our regularly scheduled programming, but our not regularly scheduled programming was the last episode's trivia extravaganza in which Andrew, I don't want to spoil it. I don't want to spoil it. Andrew was there. There were lots of changes in points over the course of that episode, and now we are resetting season five, whatever season it is. We're back to zero, zero, and zero. But if you want to see who won and who ran away with the most points, that's our last episode.
Let's just say I'm equivalent to the San Antonio Spurs.
Damn, that is a bit of a spoiler.
You are.
If you know ball.
You are 7'6", so you are as tall as 1B.
That's what it says on my dating app. It also means he has a history and a legacy of cultivating French talent.
When you're not subscribed, you miss a lot of stuff going on on Tuesdays, so you should probably hit that button. Definitely go watch that.
All right, but first, did they even test this?
I have one. This one has been plaguing me for a long time, but I only recently realized how much I hate it. This is exactly what we need. Yeah. So this is the Apple Weather app. I'm not sure if this is true on other weather apps. I'll tell you. And many people have been like, why do you use the stock Apple Weather app when I use these other ones? Mostly it's because it's included and free because I'm a normie, I guess. It's like using the stock calendar app. Which would be insane. I do not do that. I'm a Google boy through and through for calendar. Anyway, the worst part about the Apple Weather app is that it can be sunny all almost all day long it will rain for like one hour at one in the morning and if you are zoomed out on the weather it says 90 chance of thunderstorms all day the icon for the day is rain yeah like it says tomorrow 90 chance of thunderstorm and then you actually tap into the day and it's like oh from like 1am to 2am it's raining and then all day it's sunny
Yeah, that should be a setting that you can adjust. It's not. So I agree with you. That is kind of annoying. I've gotten so used to seeing the rain logo and then going, oh, it's going to rain at some point during those 24 hours. And then I click in to see when during the 24 hours. And it's usually at like 1 in the morning. But yeah, that is a very good point.
Even a 1 p.m.
