Too Many Features, Not Enough Focus: Tech That Overdoes It
Tired of bloated apps and broken automation? Damashe and Michael dig into the everyday tech that actually works—and what still needs fixing. From Todoist frustrations to FaceTime workarounds, they share tools and tips that make their workflows smoother. In this episode, Damashe and Michael talk through weather delays, podcast recording quirks, and the growing complexity of Zoom and Slack. They discuss how apps often overreach—like Zoom trying to do everything but its core job—and why Apple and Google are both struggling with balance. Michael shares why he's using Todoist again, the quirks of its Mac app, and details on his upcoming beginner workshop. They dive into RingCentral’s AI call summaries, SuperWhisper transcription workflows, Gemini’s privacy quirks, and how Tailscale can fake out your apps into thinking you’re always home. They wrap up with Android typing tips that might just change your life.
