We talk bags, notebooks and upgrade complaints and get mad at streaming services.

YouTube is the latest to capitulate to Trump.

iOS 26.0.1 is out but it doesn't fix Moltz's CarPlay issue.

Moltz’s backpack was made by Brenthaven but they don’t make it anymore. His shoulder bag is an Incase bag they also don’t make anymore. So that was helpful.

But he does like Rhodia notebooks. And they still make those.

Oh man. I'm supposed to write show notes. That's usually Moltz's thing.

Well, the good news is, all three hosts are here this time. Two of them are in Lex's office. One of them is not a nickel.

We share predictions for next week's iPhone event. We learn why Dan should maybe have a wallet AirTag? Or a new AirTag 2? He probably won't get one, though.

We also reference some old articles we're happy with.
