TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro: A Small Refresh to a Nice Wear OS Watch

TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro Review!

Aaaaaand it’s basically a TicWatch Pro 5, with a little bit of hardware nudge.

The newest Wear OS watch from Mobvoi is not a radical hardware change. Where Xiaomi, Oppo, and Google are only just catching the tech on the Pro 5, the Enduro is move towards slightly better efficiency and fancier build materials. It’s still a TicWatch though, and while some of the software situation has improved, we still need to chat about updates… Continue reading “TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro: A Small Refresh to a Nice Wear OS Watch”

AceMagic AX16 Pro Laptop: It happened to me too…

AceMagic AX16 Pro laptop review!

I’m a huge fan of mini PCs and this strategy of selling older laptop processors inside small desktop computers. AceMagic is trying the same formula with a laptop, and the specs are pretty decent.

Unfortunately, the brand has also been dealing with QA issues, and some models of AceMagic PC have been shipped with malware preinstalled…

Like this laptop I got…

So… How should we deal with this? Continue reading “AceMagic AX16 Pro Laptop: It happened to me too…”

The ‘Three Body Problem’ Problem: Impressively Grand, Yet Disappointingly Small

[I try to write my reviews as spoiler-free as I can, but there still might be comments or ideas that could ruin your experience watching the show. If you’re curious about the show, it’s best to watch it on your own first, before watching/reading ANY review or “explained” analysis.]

It took us a while to chew through the eight episodes of Netflix’s adaptation of The Three Body Problem. I’ve read Liu Cixin’s ‘Remembrance of Earth’s Past’ trilogy. I love ‘The Three Body Problem’. I really like ‘The Dark Forrest’. I was critically deflated by ‘Death’s End’.

I was ready to binge the whole series on launch day, but Marie had not read any of the books. The show proved a touch too dense for Marie, and we opted to spread out our viewing over several days. We finally wrapped it up last night, and I have a lot of thoughts. Mostly good thoughts, but I am a bit disappointed in a few of the structural decisions demonstrated.

Vivo V30 Pro Review: Every Camera Got Better!

Vivo V30 Pro review!

The “fashionable” Vivo mid-ranger phone gets in interesting upgrade. It’s not much more powerful than last year’s V series. If the chip inside hasn’t changed, then what got better? EVERYTHING else!

OnePlus Watch 2 Review: A Gorgeous Recovery!

OnePlus Watch 2 review!

OnePlus is back in the watch game! Their first watch received some rough criticisms. I expected a better second effort, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this nice. OnePlus Watch 2 might just restore my faith in WearOS…
