| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the VergeCast, the flagship podcast of texting on the outside screen. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm your friend David Pierce and I am doing a little belated digital spring cleaning. |
| 0:12.0 | Normally, every few months, I try to back up all my important documents, put all my photos |
| 0:16.6 | on an external hard drive that I keep in a safe, clean up my computer, all that good stuff. |
| 0:21.1 | This year, I've done a bad job of keeping on top of all that, so in my spare moments this week, |
| 0:25.6 | I'm trying to catch up. Today's project is to clean up some of the old stuff in my downloads folder. |
| 0:31.2 | Actually, should we just do this together? You only hear what's in here? This is sort of terrifying, |
| 0:34.9 | let's see. Okay, we go to date added and we go to oldest first. First thing I have is a bunch of |
| 0:42.0 | PDFs of boring minutes from FCC meetings for some reason. Not really sure what that's about. |

| 1:13.8 | but I'm happy for you or sorry that happened. I have that picture here somewhere, I guess I used |
| 1:18.0 | that. I have a bunch of photos of apps that I can't even identify as I'm sitting here. One of them |
| 1:24.7 | is the weather app for iPad OS. I have audio of my baby's first heartbeat. That's nice. I'll keep that. |
| 1:31.4 | I have a bunch of pictures of the Lego NES system for obvious reasons. A lot of old pictures. I |
| 1:38.3 | have a bunch of UPS labels that I for sure don't need anymore. This is the point, right? This is |
| 1:43.8 | why I need to do this more than once a year because otherwise I go back and I'm like, why do I have a |
| 1:49.0 | four megabyte image of a Kindle cover just chilling on my computer? Do some spring cleaning, folks. |
| 1:55.3 | It helps. Anyway, we have a great show coming up for you today. We're going to dig back into the new |
| 2:00.0 | Samsung phones, the Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 and try to figure out what they can actually do that |
