What's On My Tech?

2014-08-26
hey guys this is Austin and today and here's the video going over what's on my Tech so my friend marques recently did a what's on my Tech video and a ton of you guys tagged me in it so I decided let me go ahead and show you guys what devices I use what I have on them and just kind of show you what my setup looks like for my main phone I use the HTC One m8 Google Play edition so I absolutely love this phone I like metal build quality and phones it's a big plus for me the front-facing speakers are also awesome and the fact that it runs stock Android is also a big plus I'm really not a big fan of skins and float wear and all that kind of stuff pretty much the only thing that lets it down are the cameras so I mean it's not bad it's not terrible especially in low light but compare it to something like an iPhone or LG g3 does kind of fall flat however considering just how good the rest of the phone is I'm kind of willing to overlook that so I like keep things fairly basic fairly minimalistic so I do have a clock widget okay let me know the date and time all that kind of stuff I have a lot of boring app select the phone and hangouts I do use Google Drive a fair bit as well as photos I definitely use Spotify all the time so it's actually something you'll find and basically all of my devices so listen a lot of music there's also YouTube big surprise i watch youtube videos I have reddit news which section is probably one of my favorite Reddit clients just for any device it's actually really really nicely designed especially for Android of course moving down to my dock you'll see Chrome which is pretty much the best web browser for Android in my opinion the next thing is Phoenix so I use Twitter an absolute ton so having a good client is a big deal and this is by far the best thing that I found on Android so definitely recommend Phoenix have Gmail as well as the Google camera app pretty self-explanatory there move over to my second page you see I do have a widget goes over all of my calendar information which is helpful just to the glance of a couple folders here so I use pocket casts for podcasts of Netflix and Hulu I usually don't watch a lot of video on a phone however the HTC One it's got those good front-facing speakers as well as the decent sized screen so everyone watch a show or movie on my phone I have audible when I'm listening to audiobooks as well as Kindle for when I want to read again I generally don't read on my phone but every once in a while I don't want to have to take a tablet or something with me I'll maybe read just a little bit wolfram alpha is a great app for calculations and whatnot Firefox and opera just against any an extra web browser I do have other benchmarks on this phone so I do a lot of benchmarking even though all that information doesn't necessarily go into the video but anytime I get my hands on a new phone I've got a benchmarking guys see how it all runs everything so it's just kind of helpful for comparisons I have a folder full of kinda like work stuff so flight track so I fly a reasonable bit so that's hugely hugely helpful at for me some boring stuff inside here I do actually like Snapseed a lot so anytime I need to edit a photo snaps he's definitely my go-to I also go ahead and pop this back open here UPS uber that kind of normal stuff moving down over to the games I don't really play a lot of games on Android but when I do it's usually going to be something like threes or Osmos YouTube studio is an amazing app I absolutely love this so kind of allows me to skip the 301 so when you guys see like 301 views I can actually see in real time how my videos are doing which is just a nice little thing for a nerd like me then I have Facebook pages manager Instagram settings pretty much boring stuff beyond that I also use the iPhone 5s so I bounce back and forth between this and the One m8 all the time but the main thing that keeps me coming back is the camera so now I just have great optics and a great sensor but iOS does a really good job processing images and apps like Instagram are just much much better on the iPhone so because of that this pretty much always gets a spot in my pocket now the rest of the layout is actually very similar so I have the same sort of apps like Drive YouTube hangouts that sort of thing a couple differences are though I do use alien blue is my iOS retic client and I keep the Google app on here at all times because I do really love having Google now like furniture everyone with an iPhone I have a folder full of apps that I never used I just kind of stuff in here and pretend that they don't exist as far as utilities it's actually pretty much the exact same as on Android I do have a few more games on the iPhone so things like Thomas was alone I've been really enjoying I still have flappy bird on here as well as Minecraft which I've actually been trying to get back into since they added the new update with the infinite worlds besides that pretty much to all that's left is my dock so I do use Safari / Chrome because it is quite a bit faster on the iPhone I use Tweetbot is my reddit client this actually syncs well with other Macs I want to kind of bounce back and forth I can do that and I have Gmail client as well as the camera app for my editing computer I use a new Mac Pro alongside a sharp 4k display in a new Dell 1440p monitor so I love having a 10 screen real estate for when I edit and having that six core Mac Pro makes chewing through video and absolute breeze so for the software it's nothing too crazy so I do use Safari / Chrome on OS 10 I feel like it's just a slight bit more polished and for Twitter not reddit almost set reddit for Twitter I do use tweet BOTS so I like it because it does have decent integration with the iPhone version it's just a nicely designed app overall so as far as the editing stuff I pretty much all Adobe so I do use premiere actually used it for the last couple years solid solid editing program I also do use After Effects not as much as I used to before I need to go and like blur something out or some compositing or keying that kind of stuff it comes in handy for coloring I do use speed great I'm really bad at colors so speed grit makes it a little easier for me I have Photoshop pretty much just to make thumbnails because I suck with graphics I also do have Spotify on here like I was saying earlier I use Spotify all the time pretty much always listening to music so very nice to have i had the app store Pages Keynote all that kind of stuff nothing really too impressive down here however I do have a nice little widget that actually is very very helpful called ice dad so this is something that wish windows had it kind of allows you to see at a quick glance all kinds of different features about your device so for example I can see memory usage and go ahead and see how my SSD is doing what kind of programs are needing to take up you know the read and write speeds and see CPU usage I mean I can see all kinds of these really nice little things I can take a look and see you know for example my CPU temperatures over time but you know getting really kind of drill down into the memory and the graphics and all kinds of really cool stuff so I status actually one of my favorite parts of using OS 10 weirdly enough for my gaming PC had actually already done a video going over everything so you guys can check that out if you want to see things like specs but for now I pretty much use it as a steam box so I have a fair few games in my Steam library so now all of them are installed but I've collected quite a few games over the last four or five years I've also been playing some console games so I actually missed the last of us when it came out for ps3 so with the remastered version for ps4 I've actually been really enjoying not only the single player but the multiplayer is actually pretty fun as well the game is Just Cause 2 so this is one of the PlayStation now streaming titles mostly been playing this just kind of test out how PlayStation now is and I might actually end up making a video on it resogun is a really fun spaceship shooter not gonna lie this is actually probably the most played game on the ps4 I've had just because it's just really really fun and also watchdogs so I've actually played more watchdogs on the ps4 than anything else mostly because it had a definitely trouble punch on the PC so ps4 versions seem to be a little bit better sorted at the beginning anyway I also have an Xbox one although this is more of a media box than anything else so this is where I watch the majority of my YouTube as well as things like Hulu and Netflix and blu-rays and all that kind of stuff although I do have some games for it so 4 to 5 is easily my favorite racing game right now I've always been more of a fan at the simulation style like Gran Turismo so I have a lot of fun with Forza and also titanfall I've got a lot of hours into titanfall you know it's funny I'm not usually a huge first-person shooter guy but titanfall is kind of fresh enough that really kind of sucked me in actually it sucked me a little too much to be honest so what's on your tech it could be a phone tablet desktop laptop game console whatever it is let me know what you're using in the comments below or you can make a video and tweet it to me at Austin not Duncan now already tweet some of my favorites over the next couple days anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
