Hello my friends! My protocol pals! My computational compadres! 大家好！我的协议伙伴们！我的计算摄影同僚们！

I’m David, a technology reporter and cohost of the Waveform Podcast. I’ll be hosting a subscriber-only “AMA” today at 11AM PT / 2PM ET. For the next six weeks, I’m filling in for senior reviewer Allison Johnson, who you are all likely very familiar with. That means I’ll be covering new releases from Apple, Google, Samsung, and the works. I’ve already done some freelancing for The Verge, including camera reviews, attending the Switch 2 launch event, and cohosting episodes of the Vergecast and Version History, so you may have seen me before! 我是 David，一名科技记者兼 Waveform 播客的主持人。今天太平洋时间上午11点（美东时间下午2点），我将主持一场订阅用户专属的“AMA”（Ask Me Anything，问我任何事）活动。在接下来的六周里，我将接替大家非常熟悉的资深评测员 Allison Johnson 的工作。这意味着我将负责报道苹果、谷歌、三星等公司的新品发布。此前我已为《The Verge》做过一些自由撰稿工作，包括相机评测、参加 Switch 2 发布会，以及共同主持《Vergecast》和《Version History》节目，所以你们可能之前已经见过我了！

I’ve been covering technology since about 2007 when I saw the first iPhone unveiled at MacWorld on a school trip. I then went and bought an Android phone the next year. When I was in high school, Microsoft paid me $100 to put one of my Android apps on the Windows Phone store, but we all know how that went. I quit my engineering job at Intel to head up reviews at Android Authority from 2016 to 2021, and worked as Marques Brownlee’s writer and helped run The Studio Channel for many years. 我从2007年左右开始报道科技行业，当时我在一次学校旅行中目睹了第一代 iPhone 在 MacWorld 大会上的发布。第二年，我就去买了一部安卓手机。读高中时，微软曾付给我100美元，让我把我的一个安卓应用移植到 Windows Phone 应用商店，但大家都知道后来发生了什么。我辞去了英特尔的工程师工作，在2016年至2021年间负责 Android Authority 的评测业务，并担任了多年 Marques Brownlee 的撰稿人，协助运营 The Studio Channel。

My specialties generally encompass computational and analog photography, protocols, emoji and linguistics, but I’m always trying to pressure-test the delta between what companies say they’re offering and how people actually use that technology. And most of all, I care about how technology works alongside our lives, for better or worse. Please bring back ambient computing, I’m begging you. 我的专长通常涵盖计算摄影与胶片摄影、协议、表情符号和语言学，但我始终致力于测试企业宣传的功能与用户实际使用体验之间的差距。最重要的是，我关心技术如何融入我们的生活，无论好坏。请把“环境计算”带回来吧，我恳求你们。

If you’re curious about anything, ask some questions, and I’ll be happy to answer them! 如果你有任何好奇的问题，尽管提出来，我很乐意为你解答！
