hey what is up guys I'm Kim PhD here and my good friend on the internet Michael Fisher you probably know him now as mr. mole he started a new YouTube channel first of all you should check that out if you haven't already but more importantly one of his newest videos was about all of his daily tech like his daily drivers the stuff he uses on a daily basis and I don't know if you remember video responses on YouTube as a feature before I was killed off you can kind of think of this video as one of those so all the stuff in this video is my daily tech and stuff I use on a daily basis so first of all I'll start with the wearable stuff if you've been watching my videos for a while you've probably noticed at some point the band that I have on my left wrist all the time it's actually not even a piece of tech it's probably the furthest thing I have from a piece of tech on this list but it's a lens bracelet I'll leave a link to it below is not super special or anything it doesn't count my steps or measure heart rate or anything like that but it does happen to be pretty much the same exact size as a canon EF lens mount now I don't wear a SmartWatch that often but when I do it's probably because I'm traveling and I'm trying to save battery life on my smart phone so that helps me get less screen time when I just check my notification on my wrist anyway my SmartWatch of choice on my Android side is the Moto 360 and on the iOS side it's the Apple watch now I do realize you can use the Moto 360 with the iPhone if you wanted to but it's just not quite the same using an Android wear SmartWatch with an iPhone doesn't quite give you the same experience as the Apple watch with an iPhone plus the Apple watch has gotten a lot better for the iPhone recently so that's still the best option so Android Android wear iOS Apple watch now the golden question or the one that's most frequently asked that I see in comments sections all the time and we see like every day on Twitter is smart phone of choice daily driver smart phone and that answer changes like all the time but here's where we're at right now so I have a couple of SIM cards my main SIM card the one that everyone has the phone number of that's the one my friends have that's an 18 T SIM card and that's in my main phone and then I have a secondary SIM card usually also AT&T but that one will be in whatever phone I'm testing and if I'm not testing a phone at the moment then the secondary SIM will be in my iphone so the way it works is if I'm testing a phone and I like it a lot and I want it to be my daily it'll move up and it'll get my main SIM card and then the secondary sim will go back into my iPhone so right now my main SIM card is in a1 plus 3 and I of course made a video about the zone it's a solid $400 Android smartphone with really clean software great performance and fast charging that I really like a lot I switched to it from I believe the galaxy s7 edge after testing it because I preferred the one pluses software and I think before that I was rockin and Nexus 6p with the Android nougat beta back when it was just an Android n so it's one plus three right now and the iPhone 6s plus as a secondary now why is the iPhone keep coming back to the secondary sim as a default the iPhone tends to be better with camera related applications that aren't the camera apps so things like if you've seen my snapchat story or if you've seen beams or my Instagram basically anything that's taken on a smartphone that didn't happen in the camera app those apps all tend to work better in iOS so that's why you'll see an iPhone in my other pocket my tablet of choice I don't really have a daily tablet I don't use a tablet everyday anymore sometimes iPad pro sometimes pixel see but again neither of those things are used every single day so the batteries just last forever since it sit around but my laptop of choice my main laptop that I do use as a daily workhorse is the 15-inch MacBook Pro it is fully maxed out and it's the one that was painted black by color where it was in the dope tech customs episode it's been a few months now with it and people often ask like how does the paint look or how does the color work coat look basically the majority of it still looks pristine but the only blemishes are like right on the corners where some of the paint has I guess either chipped off or rubbed thin not really sure but obviously since it's a silver finish the anodized aluminum underneath you can see that contrasts pretty clearly I think it still looks pretty good though it gives it a bit of character and a lot of people also ask why a fully loaded MacBook Pro and it's because I do edit with this machine on the go so when I went to Google i/o or when I went to WWDC I was editing in Final Cut on this machine and I guess that also explains the desktop of choice which is the 2013 back pro and wow just saying that out loud makes you realize how long it's been since they refresh the Mac Pro this thing is due for an upgrade obviously I'm ready for a new one but right now I am rockin the 8 core trashcan with 64 gigs of ram the dual D 700 graphics cards and of course Mac OS 10 and Final Cut again and this makes it the main editing rig other little pieces of tech that I use on a daily basis that make my life a little easier one headphones the audio technica ath m50 Rd the red and 50s have been my dailies for a very long time so I use them for editing and their classics great price great sound pretty much can't go wrong but when I want to fly or when I'm using noise cancelling headphones it's the bose qc25 and i still use the j-bird x2s over the new freedoms for just like generally walking around they're awesome Bluetooth earbuds I did a whole video all about them and they're still really really good I think there's an awesome deal on them on Amazon like right now as I'm recording this video so I'll link it below the like button if you want to check it out hopefully it's still a really low price and you can scoop up that deal so anyway that's the main bits of tech that I use on a daily basis and I guess I'll pass this along to anyone who's watching what tech do you use on a daily basis or maybe more importantly how does the tech you use on a daily basis make your life better and if you want to make a video response a video response feel free to do that too if you're into it I'm not tagging anyone obviously but this is sort of an open invitation yeah that's pretty much it thanks for watching I'll talk to you guys the next one peace
