so I'm doing this thing called tech confessions tech confessions okay I might have a couple of those kind of confess don't tell anyone he's a Mac it's doing care about that yeah in the MacBook everyday MacBook I thought you do gaming yeah see now that well actually do that on netbooks too sometimes but that's only because I'm stupid why do you use a Mac du bien welcome to tech confessions the video I personally didn't think I would ever make it was inspired because over the past month or two as much as it pains me to admit I've been using a magic mouse and the big deal here is I've personally gone on record and said I don't like this Mouse terrible I praised a lot of tech performance MX and I don't know if it's just laziness or partially enjoying the space grey color or maybe deep down I like a little slight aside scroll action but for whatever reason every time I got on the computer I realize I'm using it I think to myself why the hell are using this I only started using a mouse about two months ago that's right I've been using a Bluetooth trackpad for eight years my very first job at a college I was a software engineer and I saw my boss at the time was using an external trackpad and I thought I was weird that he paid money to use a laptop trackpad outside of the context of a laptop just beside it instead and for some reason I bought one because he was my boss and I was like well if he's got one I got to use it and I used that for eight years eight years everything programming editing making music everything I've used that thing and I finally got a mouse two months ago and it has changed my life and it was not easy for me to admit but that's my tech confession I've kind of built up a reputation on YouTube as an audio file which saying out loud it sounds like the douchiest thing ever yet my number one most used pair of headphones is Apple earpods which is so convenient I loved their size I loved the battery life I love that I can just pop them in my ear I don't have a cable they automatically connect to my phone I can walk away from my laptop when I'm watching Netflix they're just handiest thing ever no they don't sound good but they also don't sound well and at a hundred and $69 I really really like them and I use them more than anything else the first might be as a tech youtuber I buy every new flagship that comes out lots and lots of cell phones but my daily driver is a phone I bought a year and a half ago the Galaxy S a just haven't been worth my time to change over yet makes me wonder what kind of tech youtuber I really am on the inside also I'm team headphone jack don't get me wrong but I was thinking the other day when the last time I actually used my headphone jack was there's been like six months I still like it I still want it but I don't actually use it as much as I thought I did when it comes to the iPhone I use a lot of stock apps I actually like the Apple Mail app and the Notes app I know there are so many good apps out there to replace that but it just seems simple to me does that make me a noob and only for my boy John when I go on the internet and expose myself mess with my street cred but for my tech confession even though I'm a tech reviewer and I've tested tons and tons of smart phones I am an absolute terrible texture when it comes to typing on smartphones I am very slow I mean look at this the quick Brown listen I'm not even gonna go and show how bad I am at texting but that's that's me I'm not exaggerating this is just how long it takes so this is why I use you know keyboards like G board and I can just swipe boom you see stuff like that that's why I swipe texting is horrible for me but you can't come at my keyboard skills with an actual keyboard I'm a beast at that trust me but when it comes to a smartphone I'm terrible the worst hey I'm Brandon and the tech that I'm most ashamed of is probably the August smart law now this is the source of endless ridicule from friends and a lot of mental agitation the simple fact is it just takes a ton less time to pull out your key instead of waiting for Siri or the August smart lock app to actually unlock your door for you and that's not even taking in the inevitability of Siri just refusing to unlock your door for you or your phone crashing and having to restart it a couple times to actually make your door unlock I don't really have a great explanation for why I still own this piece of technology or why I still have it installed on my front door mostly probably because I don't know how to take it off but moral the story is if you want to keep your friends and you don't want to be made fun of don't buy the August Mart home lock don't waste your time and while we're confessing things I have to get off my chest that I am super jealous of the Apple watch I wish there was an Android equivalent that thing does so much anyway that's it don't tell anyone talk to you later as always links to everyone's channel

Jonathan and I'll catch you guys later
