David WILL win 🙏🏻
Funny I can literally relate to so much of the intro from Dan, except I made the mistake of having my phone change from dark to light based on time of day, and now that doesn't make a difference anymore - sad
Yeah I do this too. Sometimes, I even move my desk/gear to a different room
I think he might like being called David, since that's his name. Just FYI.
The number of times I’ve bought devices I absolutely don’t need, just because I wanted a change, is absolutely staggering.
That intro... I feel seen
What an interesting topic!
It's gonna sound so stupid when everyone in the office or in public is talking out loud, telling their AI what tasks to perform. 😊 "Take a photo of that person without them knowing." 😂
The Supernote is great if you want an e-reader for writing. Thaat's its one use case and it's fantastic for that. On top of that, Ratta is extremely supportive and invested in keeping older devices updated. That alone, made me choose them over Remarkable. It also doesn't require a sub.
Omg. Where is the b-roll. This is KZhead. We just saw your face. Show us the damn picture of the cable drawings you’re talking about. PLEASE!!!! You guys are professionals right? Love you guys.
Its bassicly true, even if you search whoever you like and the experience can be different depending who you are looking its not like the real thing and never will be
the information pipeline
the information super garden hosepipe 😮
I really really really want the Palma. But after flirting with the Remarkable I am coming around on the Kobo to be a digital notebook.
this guy is so beautiful, like physically
Spot on.
1:15 Just go to therapy pal. 😢
ASOT
'Guys we finally did it'
