Tech Addicts 2025 - Keep your EV

Gareth and Ted from get nostalgic and novel to the cutting-edge and practical. There's a focus on unique hardware, including the launch of the world's first ceramic mechanical PC keyboard, the introduction of a new BOOX Palma 2 Pro color E Ink e-reader with 5G capabilities, and a $6,000 solar-powered, wind-resistant inflatable camping tent. They also explore future tech with a hands-on look at the Samsung Galaxy XR glasses (and a tease of Android XR), a dive into the controversial use of AI by Channel 4 for a presenter, and the revival of classic computing with an Amiga 1200 pre-order announcement. Finally, Ted discusses software and workflow improvements, specifically praising the changes and benefits of using the Google Keep Chrome Extension for note-taking, alongside Gareth's love for Immich.
