Technology has become an essential part of our everyday lives, even when we are enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, or train travel. It has found its way into every aspect of our lives, from using our smartphones to listen to music while sitting on a beach chair to carrying game consoles and e-book readers during train journeys.
The c’t-uplink team, for example, fills their bags and backpacks with a variety of tech gadgets. Liane Dubowy prefers to have her Steam Deck game console and e-book reader with her whenever she travels by train. Jörg Wirtgen considers a Bluetooth folding keyboard as a must-have item for his travels. On the other hand, Achim Barczok still carries a real system camera with him on his trips, unlike many others who rely solely on their smartphones for photography.
In addition to these gadgets, the team also relies on practical holiday apps. Apps such as the live thunderstorm map and good photo management tools are crucial for a smooth vacation experience. It is also essential to back up newly taken photos while on vacation. Jörg Wirtgen uses the Adobe cloud for this purpose, while Keywan Tonekaboni swears by his own Nextcloud.
The c’t-uplink team, consisting of Achim Barczok, Liane Dubowy, Keywan Tonekaboni, and Jörg Wirtgen, discusses these tech essentials and more in the weekly c’t podcast. Their latest issue, c’t 15/2023, is available in various formats, including kiosks, browsers, and the c’t app for iOS and Android.
