Let's Talk Tech
Surface Laptop 7 FIRST REACTIONS!
I’ve spent LESS than a day with the new Microsoft Laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite SOC, and I already have a LOT of thoughts! Let’s look at the setup and some early performance tests. It’s the MOST expensive laptop Microsoft sells!
Is this the Windows on ARM revolution YOU’VE been waiting for?

Happy FATHER’S DAY!
I had an amazing weekend, and woke up to a catastrophe!
This is gonna be a weird show. I’m actively on different chats between my bank and Microsoft to figure out if my pre-order will ship. Also, Apple seems to have abandoned support for the iPhone 15 and older iPhone Pros.
And we should probably chat about AI stuff right?
I got kinda dark on this one, but let’s TRY to get our tech week started right?
The Vivo X100 Pro has shot almost all of my B-Roll and outdoor footage this year. It’s a monster camera system, and it’s dramatically sped up my video production. It’s one of the absolute best mobile photography options available today, and it embarrasses similarly priced options from Apple and Samsung.
While I love this camera system, there’s one MAJOR issue that is SUPER frustrating to work around… Continue reading “Vivo X100 Pro: A BIG Problem with my Favorite Phone Camera”
Pebblebee or Chipolo? Exactly ONE YEAR to the day I place orders for these location tracking tags, they finally arrived!
Playing with these new Google compatible trackers, and it’s interesting to see how the setup is slightly different between the two brands.
Checking out the packaging and the setup! It’s exciting to get a look at the new Find My Device network in action!
Which one is easier to setup? Let’s take a quick look! Continue reading “Chipolo or Pebblebee? The Easier Google Find My Device Tracker to Setup?”
Apple fans on Threads are CORRECT!
Apple not bringing LLM features to current iPhones and iPads is NOT an indication that Apple is failing to support their products!
So why did we think this was a problem when Google did something similar with Gemini? Continue reading “When Apple Fans Defend Google: AI Edition!”
A shorter show this week as Apple is set to kick off WWDC 2024!
Google is cutting checks to avoid a jury trial in their latest lawsuit. Microsoft finally responds to the backlash against Windows Recall. Adobe has burned down a LOT of creator goodwill with their newest TOS change. A judge is ordering Apple to hand over all their decision making documents and App Store guidelines.
And we should place our bets on how many times Apple Executives will say “AI” during the WWDC keynote.
Let’s get our tech week started right!
It’s time for another round of hack tech “reviews” comparing Google products against Apple products. This round?
Location trackers.
I’ve been pretty vocal on the topic for the last year, pointing out how Apple used its size to bully competitors, and how in this specific instance, Apple fell far short anticipating concerns with AirTag privacy and security.
After a year-long delay (caused by Apple), folks on Android are finally getting access to tags, cards, and clips that offer up networked location tracking capabilities.
And in the first week that these products are hitting Google’s network, it’s time for Hack Tech “reviewers” to declare Apple “the winner” in a completely unfair comparison. Continue reading “Maybe Stop Shilling for Apple’s AirTags? Google’s Find My Device Network is JUST Getting Started…”
Gamesir X4 Aileron Review!
I’m not the biggest fan of backbone style controllers. They don’t often fit the phones I like the most, especially the phones with BIG cameras. Gamesir is trying to make the “cradled” controller more flexible, but getting rid of the spine! Here’s a quick look at the X4!
Let’s play! Continue reading “Gamesir X4 Aileron Phone Controller Review! No Backbone Needed!”
