Nati shares his amazement about Watch Series 3 speed and somehow gets Greg into an experiment with Watch orientation.

We continue with Google's hardware hurdles with the Pixel 2 and Home mini devices, and share our thoughts about the fate of Essential before diving into MacBook keyboard issues and Apple's bad Mac decisions in recent years.
