It's time for episode 579 of the clockwise podcast from Relay, recorded Wednesday, November 6, 2024.

Clockwise, Four people, where we bide our time.

My name is Dan Morin, and I am joined across the internet, not by my usual co-host, Micah Surchin, is away this week, but ably

filling in for him is and inching his way up the leaderboard. It is developer and podcaster James

Thompson. Hi, James. Hi. I mean, what I may lack in comparison to Micah's intelligence, wisdom,

and charisma, I make up for by always saying yes. So I'm here.

Yeah, that is a, you know what? That is a trait that is often underappreciated. Well, this is,

of course, the show where we invite on to fantastic guests to talk about four tech topics.

To my left this week, it is the guy that won't ruin the vibe vibe your party by making a big announcement when he leaves. I just read what they put here. It's Jeremy Burge. Welcome back, Jeremy.

I just think it's polite. I believe it's called an Irish goodbye, but I don't know if I, is that cultural appropriation. Yeah, that may be slightly, yeah. I think that's maybe on the fence there.

And to my left is a writer, radio producer, and podcaster Shelley Brisbane.

Hello, I am trying to cling on to a little spot on the leaderboard, but James is always

ahead of me holding the space.

So, hi, glad to be here.

Let us kick things off.

My topic today.

In iOS 18.2 beta, you can select more types of apps and adjust

their defaults. So I think messaging and phone calls are in there as well. My question is,

do you use any different default apps already? And do you think there are any categories of

apps that you can set defaults for missing besides

calculator?

Jeremy, we'll start with you.
