Scamming at RadioShack & iPhone VS Android Debate Settled? ft. Twitch Affiliate @A2CKilla #119

Sitting down to record this week's episode of my podcast "What are we Doing," I was thrilled to have my long-time friend and former RadioShack coworker A2CKilla joining me as guest. I've known him for over a decade now, going all the way back to the glory days working behind the counter at our local RadioShack. We always bonded over our love of tech and spent countless hours geeking out over the latest gadgets and devices.
Nowadays, A2CKilla has gone all in on pursuing streaming video games on Twitch as his full-time gig. I was excited to pick his brain about that emerging creator economy. But first, I wanted to reminisce on old times and our endless debates comparing Apple and Android products.
As an Apple devotee since the early days of iPods and iPhones, I've always defended iOS devices to A2CKilla's pro-Android arguments. He could never convince me that Android phones were superior, though he made some decent points about connectivity and customization options. Still, I valued the simplicity, compatibility, and app ecosystem of my iPhone.
One area we dug into was the differences between Lightning cables and USB-C charging. I conceded USB-C seems more universal, but argued Lightning is tried and true, having served me well for over a decade now. I'm fine using an adapter dongle if needed.
However, the upcoming adoption of RCS messaging protocols by Apple in 2024 could be a game changer. While I'm wary of opening iMessage's walled garden, I'm intrigued by the promise of improved texting and typed communication across platforms. iMessage is still better, but I'm open to this evolution - even if just to get A2CKilla to stop complaining about green bubbles!
Shifting gears, I was able to pick A2CKilla's brain about his experiences jumping into full-time streaming a few years ago. He walked me through the highs and lows, the freedom but uncertainty that comes with staking your career on something as volatile as Twitch subscriptions and follower counts. But his passion shone through and I could tell he was enjoying the ride.
In the end, while our tech allegiances may differ, our friendship persists over a decade strong. I appreciated his unique lens as we caught up on life and dissected some meaty tech topics. It made for another great episode that I hope my listeners will enjoy as well!
