The show is way better when everyone is in the same room, great stuff!

[@ferretgodowndahole3602]

Yeah it use to always be that way, with always-video, live, in-the-same-room episodes. Then several years ago they discontinued that in favor of audio-only, and there were a lot of comments expressing disappointment. Glad they came full circle back to this format. But maybe it's just the live factor that they didn't like and the video vs audio was not the point.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s such a weird experience being on X because it’s like going to an office that’s dilapidated.

[@moramento22]

26:00 Love David's reaction! "At Home Depot????" 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m so happy that Dex is having a moment 🔥 #DanTheDexpert

[@reckless1280]

It’s so close and so far!

[@user-fh9vt1xx1r]

Wow amazing episode, I can't believe you guys have a such a good show but just 26 comments, so don't mind me just contributing to your VOD engagement points

[@reckless1280]

It’s a podcast! Most of our listeners are in their cars heh. But we are growing slowly but surely here😊

[@unCoopervised]

What if they just announce M3 iPads now with Finder replacing the Files app?! 😂

[@meliber]

I knew I was right to have “Heidi klum as worm mentioned” on my vergecast bingo card

[@rjw705]

Fantastic episode with everyone there! You guys help me get through the workday!

[@CrowGirl1990]

Loving this episode with everyone together. Yay 🎉

[@naticolin]

during first 3 minutes i was so confused by the Slack notifs. Thought it was me 😋

[@danielqcallahan]

Tim Cook’s Halloween costume is obviously a giant apple. He is Tim Apple after all.

The only reason I look at Twitter is because threads is not in the EU, and a lot of my friends and people I like to follow are inside the EU. I am just waiting for it to launch in the EU to finally that X app from my phone.

[@francisyuweh706]

all laughs and nostalgia while being informed w/ the latest tech news. Love your show and team, keep it up^

[@HernanRosario]

At the end they got tired of camera switching ?

[@robb6028]

-The concept of Twitter is like AT&T. You can break it apart or change its name, but it’ll be back…

[@lizzam]

As a Gboard on Samsung phone user, I hate it when my Work Account disables 3rd party keyboad and I'm stuck with Samsung Keyboard. So with Good Lock, I installed Keys Cafe (oh the names) and made the Samsung Keyboard layout as close to GBoard as possible and my typo reduced significantly.

[@osohista]

this is very exciting

[@obvinpro]

Hey! Snapdragon had an event this week, lol. Seems like there's a grudge here...

[@yathi]

When I heard the start of the video I was really hoping Nilay was doing the Vergecast on the Dex. Here is hoping for that to happen in the next Vergecast! Bring the mechanical keyboard too!

[@StephenDeLaRosa]

After this Dexperience, Nilay should go iPad (mini?) with LTE only and compare.

[@sullivan4052]

with even worse jelly scroll!

[@StephenDeLaRosa]

@@sullivan4052 I'm thinking a nausea scale is in order.

[@sullivan4052]

this is the first time i heard about jelly scroll on the fold

[@RatulSRAJ]

Please have everyone in the office. You guys have great chemistry

[@_sophies]

Kinda loving Nilay saying "Hollywoo stars and celebrities". I see you!

[@lvanni8564]

i’m just here to see David‘s expression when he dumps on The Morning Show

[@CannedLaughter00]

I wanted to know where on that scale is Truth Social and they just ignored it 😢

[@user-dr2cw3hh1t]

I think if Windows wants any mobile ambitions beyond just being another Android OEM they have got to get Windows on Arm on par with X86. They’ve latched Android App compatibility to Windows and so that App gap is generally solved if a phone can operate Windows and Android Apps.

[@SaladCookies]

I LOVED my Windows Phone!! The only bad thing (pretty major, to be fair) was the lack of developer support, but I didn't blame Microsoft for that

[@KriLL325783]

Intellectually I've known from the start podcasts have cuts, but seeing them visually in this episode with the wide shot having people move frame to frame is kinda bizarre, maybe hide the cuts by always shifting camera when a cut happens?

[@imdavidpierce]

You're right, and we talk about this, but WOW is it hard to do this in an even remotely natural way while you're in the studio making the show. But we'll figure that out somehow

[@KriLL325783]

@@imdavidpierceIt's a minor nitpick, but isn't that what comments are for? XD Love the show, been reading/watching/listening since the engadget days.

[@BertrandTan]

The negative space between David and Nilay makes me very uncomfortable...

[@kelRGo]

Twit was a thing, X isn’t a thing and probably will never be. The word itself makes sense “You twit”.

[@alecfotsch3533]

Sorry Alex but given that Apple has about 1.42 billion active iPhones, they likely will only offer about $12.32 for you to commit to Google on your phone.

[@alecfotsch3533]

@TheVerge00 oh my god that's amazing news! Do you want my social security number?🖕

[@lelouch9609]

Twitter 37:45

[@rob8969]

Threads will never take over for X until they have trending topics. That’s 90% of what most people use it for

[@jorgevayron3085]

I used to love this podcast, now I can't believe how boring it is.
