AceMagic malware?
Following up my experience with finding malware on two systems from the same manufacturer, I’ve been getting a bit more paranoid about using review devices on my home network. Most of my replies have been supportive of me taking more aggressive steps, like reinstalling a computer’s OS, but I have gotten a few comments indicating I might be overreacting to false positives in a virus scanner.
I brought on my friend Shannon Morse to chat about best practices for setting up a new computer, protecting your network, and how to get started in cyber security. Continue reading “Did I Overreact to Malware on a Mini PC? Interview with Shannon Morse (Security Expert)”
MediaTek has announced an exciting new mobile chip for flagship phones!
The Dimensity 9300 looks like a powerhouse for compute tasks, but the major topic for this year’s MediaTek Summit is AI. More than tripling the AI performance of last year’s chip, are silicon companies being pressured to force AI on consumers?
I sit down with Dr Finbarr Moynihan and DS Shiu from MediaTek to discuss the future of on-device generative AI. Continue reading “MediaTek Dimensity 9300 and the Future of Mobile AI – Interview”

It’s been great to collaborate with Qualcomm and their new Snapdragon Insiders community, created for tech enthusiasts who deserve something extra.

Why do we let Apple do this to us?
Taking the wraps off of a LONG rumored product, Apple showed off a new pair of over-ear wireless headphones. With all the traditional bravado and aspirational marketing claims, these cans are guaranteed to be a popular fashion accessory.
For $550.
That’s where this conversation gets more difficult. What can Apple do at $550 that improves the audio consumption experience over more established audio brands?
Helping me untangle this announcement, Jeff from ElJefeReviews and Enobong from BooredAtWork join the live stream to chat out PREMIUM audio! Continue reading “#SGGQA Supplemental: AirPods Max Reactions with ElJefeReviews and BooredAtWork”
The goal is always to broaden our horizons. To really listen to more voices in the creator space, and check out different points of view. It’s never fun when our hobby becomes an echo chamber.
Isa has been a pal of mine for years, contributing to tech commentary at larger publications, but has taken it on herself to host her own style of review on her personal YouTube channel.
That’s a key word. Style. Isa Does Tech has only been around for about a year, but from her first video published, she approaches her commentary with a polished presentation, and a lot of style.
It’s not all roses though, she had a lot to share on the challenges of being a tech reviewer, when you have something a little different to say about consumer electronics. Continue reading “#SGGQA 161: Creator Chat – Isa Rodriguez – Isa Does Tech!”

My first interview for this creator chat series, TK returns to chat about some of the changes he’s made producing content, moving on from XDA to focus on his own channels, and how the monetization game has changed looking at YouTube and Amazon.
100 podcasts later, and TK has actually been living the advice he gave in our first conversation. I owe him a ramen run when our favorite noodle shop re-opens.
