Let's Talk Tech
Eufy pan and tilt security camera review.
It’s a great little home security camera. Eufy includes terrific features and software. The performance is fantastic, and the phone app is one of my favorites.
ALL this for an attractive price, but there’s one fatal flaw…

XPERIA 5IV first impressions!
Sony is the LAST option left for folks who want lifestyle features like headphone jacks and memory card support. This year the XPERIA 5 picks up a new design, more lifestyle features, and a bigger battery at a friendlier price than the XPERIA 1.
For a new phone launch this year however, is it TOO powerful for its own good? Continue reading “Sony XPERIA 5IV First Look: A Smaller POWERHOUSE Phone!”
You pull your phone out of your pocket and casually place your thumb on the screen. You feel THAT buzz as your phone refuses entry. Without investing too much focus, you slide your thumb to re-orient, but before you properly place your thumb down again, you feel the “bad buzz”. Now, fully invested with your visual and tactile attention, you prepare for attempt number three…
Best case scenario, you get into your phone and realize the notification you received really wasn’t worth this effort. Worst case, you have to put in your pin or password, and the notification was even LESS worth this effort.
We had it so good. What happened? Continue reading “Can we finally admit that in-display fingerprint sensors on phones are terrible, and that no company should use them?”
Last Monday of the month! That means we hang out in our pajamas!
A chill geeky chat with some good tech friends. We ramble through some conversations about music and music players. We chat about some camera tech and smartphone tech. We compare gaming phones against Steam Decks. Then I whine a bit about YouTube comments.
Let’s get our tech week started right!
What do manufacturers do when the word “Pro” has lost all meaning in describing phones?
We move to ULTRA!
The Axon 40 Ultra was a happy return for me.
I was a huge fan of ZTE phones during the Axon 7 era. I’ve been really curious what the company has to offer today. Judging whether the Axon 40 earns its “Ultra” badge, we should probably break down the current spectrum of phone pricing. Continue reading “ZTE Axon 40 Ultra: Can we get an ULTRA Phone for cheap?”
Fiio BTR7 Review!
It’s a LITTLE Bluetooth adapter, but it delivers a BIG sound! This little DAC has a pair of incredible THX amps on tap, and it’s one of the most powerful solutions I’ve ever used. Is it maybe TOO good? Can it get TOO loud? Let’s take a listen!

Valve vs RedMagic! PC vs Android! What REALLY gives you the best mobile gaming experience? Let’s check out two VERY different portable gaming options, and see which is right for YOUR needs and budget! Continue reading “Steam Deck vs Gaming Phone: The better portable gaming experience?”
It’s always fun to revisit the last generation of LG phones, but at the same time, it’s a little sad to see how much we’ve lost on premium tier phones.
LG stopped producing phones in 2020. They went out on a high note. The V60, Velvet, and Wing were a terrific trio, highlighting everything we enjoy about LG design and innovation.
The memory of LG doesn’t reflect the actual products released by the brand.
Ask a techie about the label, and you’re likely to get replies joking about “boot loops” and a poor track record for updates. Unless someone spent actual time with the brand, it was easy to overlook the significant improvements to build quality and support.
It would be like making an “all Samsungs explode” joke today. A lazy joke in poor taste.
What’s been most interesting to see, LG’s best years for software support arrived after the company shuttered their smartphone division. Continue reading “LG V60 in 2022: Still the most feature complete…”
