What's on my Tech: 2014! (Back to School)

2014-08-23
hey what is up guys I'm cabby HD here and if you follow me on Twitter you already know it's about to be back to school for me which means a couple things one I'm about to be really frickin busy but also two I'm kind of in that sort of a reorganization back to school stage where I'm getting it back to school apps fired up again I'm getting the back to school brain fired up again so I figured I'd show like what's on my tech now I was gonna do just like a what's on my phone video but that's pretty short I've already done stuff like that and that is to be honest pretty similar to the last time I did it but there are a couple other things that I'm also going to show what's on my tablet what's on my computer and hopefully this will help any of you guys who are going back school or people who are just curious about the stuff I use at the end of summer on a daily basis also I was gonna say this is this could be sort of like a tag video even though maybe not every youtuber is gonna do what's on their phone video but feel free to tag your favorite tech people below if you want to see them make a video about what's on their tech at least this time of year anyway I'm gonna get right into it and i'ma start off with what is on my phone so the phone I've been using the most over the past couple of days / weeks has been the sandstone black 64 gig oneplus one now I know there's been a lot of animosity and people talking about oneplus as a company after all the crap they've done in the past couple of weeks but I'm still supporting CyanogenMod as a company and I still love what they've done with the software here so as you can see on my home screen I really keep it pretty simple on the phones that I use everyday only two home screens and only one widget so as you can see here this is my sign gin mod 11s home screen and I keep it pretty similar to stock Android or what you'd find on Google Play edition phone or Nexus or something like that have the dialer hangouts Phoenix which is the Twitter client I use that uses this material design look it's really nice and the camera app for CyanogenMod and then up here I have some Google apps that I use the most often in a folder I have Google Tasks which is what I use as a to-do list for class Google keep and the Play Store swiping over to the right we have the today calendar widget and this is where you'll find all of my classes and all of the things that I have to do that are on my Google Calendar and of course if you tap up there you're getting calendar and you have google play music and Spotify which are my primary music listening apps I use Spotify more often because there's a desktop app and I use package buddy for shipping and receiving packages and tracking them and Instagram which is pretty good for viewing photos but if I'm going to post them I'm not going to use an Android device unfortunately and also do use a Google Play edition launcher so you can see it is Austin's birthday as I'm shooting this happy birthday Austin if this is a real birthday and I do have a flight later today so I'm shooting this before I get on a plane but yeah this is the simple simple launcher and home screens that I have on my device now if you saw my review of the oneplus one you already know a lot of the apps that I use and you've probably already seen a bunch of these but I'll go over them real quick anyway ask you either premium or Plus which is great for literally getting minute by minute predictions for whether it's going to rain or not which is actually really useful for figuring out if you're going to need an umbrella when you leave next up that's notable is Android wear which I'm going to be hopefully pairing with a moto 360 any day now Motorola audible which I use for listening to some text books Chrome Beta which has got some now some sweet material design looks going on so I love that and then a whole bunch of other you know stock stuff the calendar Docs blah blah blah Dropbox feedly I use for Keeping Up with RSS feeds and news swiping over we have Leo's fortune which is that game that I've showed a couple of people they all seem to think it looks awesome I showed a couple of youtubers all in a hotel and all of them had the immediate reaction of wow that looks really good so I've been playing that for a little bit I also have this Phillips hue light controller so anytime I want to change the color or intensity or on and off of the lights I have this switch here on my phone but I mostly use my tablet for that and of course package buddy again piano tiles is don't touch the white tiles app where it's again a super simple game where all you have to do is tap the the panels as they go down the screen and hopefully not touch the white tiles so here's an example basically see how fast you can go and it plays piano notes blah blah blah yeah you've seen this game before it's in the Play Store you can check it out if you want and I'll have a link to a whole bunch of the stuff I talked about right below I like but if you want to check out any of these things but that's basically it reddit news pocket the PlayMemories app which I showed in the arcs 100 review which lets me directly transfer photos from that rx100 camera via NFC and Wi-Fi to this phone I use uber a lot too which is great the YouTube studio app which is surprisingly good and useful for what it does and the actual YouTube app so that's really what's on my phone it's my oneplus one it's a 64 gig so I actually have all of my Spotify music downloaded so I'm gonna get on a plane and I'm not going to have any internet connection but I have all of my tracks readily available so that's good at least having 64 gigs of storage and with the recent software update I got this morning battery life is still great I'm pretty happy with it and I'm liking the stock Android feel all right so this is the tablet of choice it is a hundred twenty eight gig Wi-Fi only iPad Mini with Retina display running iOS seven not eight yet and I have the Smart Cover on it and this is I guess yeah my most used tablet at the moment now this is my iOS homescreen so it's not going to be nearly as detailed or filled with widgets or fun launcher stuff as an Android homescreen would be but I guess I can just show you what apps I have and the way they're laid out so I only have like a couple of folders and two pages of apps here but the dock here is by far my most recent and most frequently used apps so the Google app feedly and pocket again for news and reading news later and a web browser Safari alien blue for reddit and the YouTube app all the time but outside of that you can see up here I have the calendar I really don't even use the calendar app that much I just have it there because it tells me the date all the time and I wouldn't see the date immediately anywhere else so I just like having a date there simple note for taking notes dropbox photos I use this Instagram app once in a while but really there's also this a flip gram or I guess pad gram yet pad gram is the app that it's called that actually has this a tablet optimized UI for scrolling through my Instagram feed so I use this a little bit more often but I usually don't go on Instagram on my tablet anyway I have the Twitter app I have the Gmail app and the app store I don't use Chrome you notice I have Safari down here I'd use Chrome as much as Chrome just isn't that good yet on the iPad it's installed but it's not my dock because I don't use it that much and it's also not my default web browser but yeah I have the Facebook app vscocam for editing photos I wish there was a tablet optimized version of it but it's a great app and I use it all the time the Philips you app which I do use really often on this device for changing the lights again I have Philips hue lights in this room so that happens to be really convenient and of course I have a chromecast Hangouts Google Drive bunch of other Google stuff you might see here the YouTube capture app in case for some crazy reason I need to capture a YouTube video on my tablet hopefully that never happens and you can see this this folder I made here I think it's funny because it's it's just a bunch of the Apple apps that I don't use and I don't have any place to put them and they named it productivity which is funny because I mean they're not productivity apps are just Apple apps but good on you Apple for naming them in a way that makes me want to check on it once in a while I have a couple of games Real Racing 3 I played that once in a while NBA 2k14 I play that once in a blue moon and virtual table tennis which is actually probably my most played game on this device Google Maps Google Docs audible again and that's about it so yeah there you have my iPad set up again no fancy launcher tricks or anything this is iOS 7 I'm not using any of the beta here but I am using this tablet quite often simply to consume media again I use feedly and pocket and YouTube a lot on this iPad alrighty so lastly it's the classic in the tech community anyway it's the what's on my dock or I guess what's on my computer video so this is my 2013 Mac Pro you saw it in the setup tour video if you've seen that and the two 4k displays attached I also have a 13 inch retina MacBook Pro that I showed you in a previous video and both of these machines are running Mac OS 10 mavericks I haven't installed the Yosemite beta yet but I do plan on upgrading to Yosemite as soon as it's available so this is one of the two displays I actually can't record both of them at the same time but as you can see I don't really keep a whole lot on the desktop I have some folders over on the for projects I'm working on so I guess it is your sneak peak and a shortcut to the 8 terabyte raid array for my external storage but then other than that I keep the desktop pretty clean so I'll link this wallpaper along with all of the other wallpapers you've seen in this video we'll have a like button so here at the bottom is my dock and I've I've actually accumulated a couple things in my dock over the over the course of you know the couple months I've been using this machine these are the things I keep here Finers always they're Chrome I use over Safari Spotify on a daily basis Adobe Premiere Pages Keynote and numbers then I have my Google Tasks app notational velocity is where I take notes Twitter which is just the retina Twitter app for Twitter and then System Preferences the App Store audacity I happen to be using right now TextEdit and I'm using QuickTime to record so these things usually aren't in the dock and then I have my downloads Google Chrome and the trash now I usually have a whole bunch of things open like I said there are two displays here on the other display there's a whole bunch of stuff open but I usually have just the web browser and whatever things I'm directly working with on this monitor and then on the other monitor I'll have Twitter and Spotify and notational velocity and Google Tasks and the things I don't necessarily work on at the moment but I'm going to go ahead and swipe in I guess it's not Mission Control but whatever you want to call this thing that shows you the apps that you have shortcutted these are basically all of the applications I have installed so you can see all these Apple apps again they make you put them in folders so I have two big folders of Apple apps the adobe extra apps some red apps which are actually really good red giant which are apps plug-ins for my Adobe Premiere video editing software and then the logitech apps and then here are the rest of them so chrome again Safari app store Pages Keynote numbers calculator Dropbox I use again a whole bunch of these apps here are all the Adobe suite apps that I have installed right now so Adobe Premiere Pro carbon CC 2014 is the video editing app I use 95% of the time I use After Effects I guess when I'm feeling fancy or when I'm doing specific motion tracking effect Photoshop is here and Lightroom is here GIMP is also a really awesome app if you haven't heard of it it's great for it's basically a free version of Photoshop it's an image manipulation program and it's it's pretty impressive audacity for my audio recording the Google Play Music manager and player X which is my version of QuickTime Player except without the gamma shift so it's a really really good media player essentially that will play any format without screwing with your colors notational velocity for the notes again Google keep Skype which I just about never used I stat menus and I'll show you I start and then use because ice time I use is really cool up here at the top you can see the temperature and the different measurements of the cores and all the resources I'm using on this Mac Pro all of that is from AI stat menus so you can check that out just by googling it or it's in the App Store if you want to check that out what else is here CyanogenMod installer very popular CCleaner classic and the unarchive ER for unzipping huge files when i'm sharing them that's about it so that's what's on my Mac that's what's on my iPad and that is what is in my dock that's what's on my phone that's about it so again thank you for watching if you enjoyed this video four-figure give it a thumbs up below and if you
