In this episode, we dive into a variety of topics—so even if something doesn’t seem relevant to you at first, stick around! You might pick up some valuable insights or learn some lessons along the way.
**Ring Camera Accessories & the Importance of Research** Chris shares his experience with the accessories he purchased for our newest Ring camera after an issue with the included mount. This serves as a reminder of why researching products and reading reviews carefully is so important.

We also offer tips on navigating the phone without a Home button, learning to successfully use Face ID, and adapting to the switch to a USB-C port.
**Phone Cameras & Their Growing Importance** Phone camera quality continues to improve, and for those of us using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or learning new skills, a high-quality camera can make a big difference. We discuss why this matters and what to look for.
