#SGGQA 387 Apple Delays AI Features, Pixel 4a Recalled for Battery Safety, Do You Have Old DVDs?

Apple dodges another Apple Watch ban, and they are delaying new AI features for the iPhone. Microsoft and OpenAI might be going through a rough patch. Google still needs to sell off divisions to satisfy the DOJ. DVD’s are apparently rotting, and not all can be replaced. The Pixel 4a could be having a Note 7 moment.

And we should chat a LITTLE about the 40 minute camera review I just produced…

Let’s get our tech week started right!

#SGGQA 386: Xiaomi 15, MWC 2025 Kicks Off, AMD GPUs Looking Good, Apple Sued Over Carbon Claims

Apple is sued over carbon-neutral claims, and they try to explain why the 16e is such a terrible phone. NVIDIA might be purposely holding back stock to inflate prices. AMD announced some GPUs that might be actual competition for a change. Microsoft is shutting down Skype. OpenAI’s new model seems like a dud, but it’s MUCH more expensive. EA released the source code for one of my all time favorite classic PC games. MWC kicks off today, but the news has been pretty quiet.

And we HAVE to talk about all this Xiaomi stuff!

KZ Zenith IEM Earbud Review: KZ Tuning is Growing Up?

KZ Zenith Review!

This brand helped introduce me to a whole world of cabled audio experiences. While I often hold them up as examples of the genre, I’ve kinda grown into preferring other solutions. The Zenith bring in some interesting new tech bits, and a four switch tuning feature, but most importantly, I think KZ is changing up how they tune their earbuds.

A little? I think… Continue reading “KZ Zenith IEM Earbud Review: KZ Tuning is Growing Up?”

#SGGQA 385: Meta Says Piracy is Legal, and Apple REALLY Hates Making Phones for the Poors…

ANOTHER law firm has been caught using AI to write briefs with fake cases cited. Microsoft trial shows that more people think AI is lame once they learn how it works. Meta says piracy is legal. Amazon kills their Android app store. Apple does pull end to end encryption in the UK, like we said they would.

And a new iPhone is out that basically confirms Apple hates poor people.

BeBird is hoping to make endoscopic cameras as common in homes as thermometers and scales.

Let’s chat about some options for family health tech!
