Let's Talk Tech
Or maybe it doesn’t?
Maybe performance is more nuanced than a bargraph?
Reacting to the Snapdragon Summit Keynote, I had some performance tests to share on my Surface Laptop. Maybe it’s just nice to have choices in the market?

The last update has arrived for the Microsoft Surface Duo 2. After two years, and only ONE proper OS update, Microsoft is finished supporting this incredible dual display device.
I felt like taking some time to talk about experiments and competition. It’s sad that we dont have more experiments to play with… Continue reading “A Eulogy for the Surface Duo 2: How Microsoft Broke My Heart…”
Meta Orion AR Glasses! They’re not real! YOU can’t buy them!
HOW will Apple react???
Over a decade of Apple Glasses hype, and we’re still pretending that AR glasses are RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! These aren’t real products yet, and we’re missing incredible opportunities to make more accessible products for consumers.
This is so frustrating…

That’s it. We pulled the plug.
We got the announcement from Netflix that our Basic plan was being discontinued. We would no longer get ad-free viewing on one screen. Netflix had the gall to frame this as a way to reduce our spending by incorporating ads in our content. We paid for the Basic plan specifically to avoid ads in our streaming. If we wanted to pay more for content AND watch ads, we’d just sign up for a cable streaming package.
We broke the news to our daughter, and she took it remarkably well. Maybe it was because she was watching Big City Greens on Disney+ and wasn’t really paying attention. Kids are funny like that.
This month we’re cancelling Amazon Prime and Netflix, but Netflix stings a bit more. Continue reading “So Long Netflix. We had a good run…”
AKA “What’s on my Surface Laptop 7!”
We keep hearing it. ARM PC’s are AWFUL for software support, and NOTHING works!
Except, many people have been using them for years, and we seem to be pretty productive on them.
Here’s a quick rundown on what I have on my Surface Laptop 7, and maybe we can chat about the VAST MAJORITY of programs that are working well on ARM PCs? Continue reading “Windows on ARM TERRIBLE Software Support (Except for ALL These AMAZING Apps)!”
It’s a convenience, but one that needs safeguarding.
Californians can now keep a digital copy of their driver’s license in Google Wallet. I believe this is an important step in making identity easier to verify, and these tools might eventually be more accessible than the way we require carrying physical cards.
It is a technology I think will be useful, and I’m happy to see some babysteps towards improving the experience. It’s an important improvement over carrying grocery store membership cards. Continue reading “We’re not ready for ID’s on our phones…”
Asking a legit question, and curious what folks thoughts are. Phones with a hinge that bend and fold, we’ve had them for several years now. However, they haven’t reached much market share, and aren’t expected to be that popular over the next five years.
Is the folding phone done? Continue reading “Six Years Later: Are Folding Phones Done?”
AI is a drag on earnings, and there is no consumer facing business that can generate a profit, when data centers are eating a TON of money and electricity and water. The nerds watching my podcast have been commenting on this for a while now.
Why is the tech media only just NOW starting to get critical of the ridiculous claims being made by AI companies? Continue reading “There is no profitable business model for Cloud AI – (SGGQA Podcast Clip)”
