I REALLY needed a break and wanted to play some Tetris with some pals. This is probably one of the WORST audio podcasts I’ve ever produced, but it was exactly the kind of casual show I needed. The video replay will make a LOT more sense as we play a few rounds and chat about some tech gear. 

We’ll be back next week with a proper list of links and stories!

Happy Monday! Last Monday of the month! It’s a Pajama Podcast show!

This week we’re playing some Tetris while we chat about the news! This might be one of the poorer podcasts for audio listeners in my replay crew!

We’ll go wherever the chat wants to go, and we have a TON of topics we might cover. Asus might be killing the ZenFone line. Sony bought my favorite headphone manufacturer. Google and Samsung have a TERRIBLE plan for AR goggles.

AND CAN ANYONE BEAT ME IN TETRIS???

Let’s get our tech week started right!

Happy Monday!

What a crazy weekend. We had a tropical storm and an earthquake!

Plus, Twitter continues to dumpster dive to lower and lower depths. Apple devices are easy to game with some basic Bluetooth hardware. Sandisk drives are failing. Courts rule AI art can’t be copyrighted.

And we have to chat about this new gaming handheld from Lenovo!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

Happy Monday!

Embargoes are dropping and I can finally chat about some of the tech on my desk! Like a new 3D printer from AnkerMake, and the mini-drone I’ve been flying!

Also, Disney dumps the metaverse. CNET dumps thousands of old articles. Apple dumps repairability on the MacBook. Firefox dumps the INABILITY to install browser extensions.

And we have to check out the Mix Fold 3 announcement from Xiaomi!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

This might be the most science-y show I’ve ever tried to put together!

Qualcomm is partnering with firms to develop RISC competitors to ARM. YouTube is ENHANCING 1080p playback for Premium users. ISPs are likely grifting the FCC. Amazon and WalMart are still selling expired Chromebooks.

And what the heck is going on with LK-99? What’s a Superconductor? Augh! My Brain!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

Happy Monday! Last Monday of the month! It’s a Pajama Podcast show!

We’re back from a road trip, and being on the road is the perfect time to really test a BUNCH of gadgets! I’ve got some thoughts on the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold. I’ve been putting the XREAL BEAM through its paces.

AND! Beyerdynamic has a NEW BT NECKBAND!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

The FCC is still in deadlock, but that might be changing soon. Twitter is still cash flow negative. Threads engagement might be slipping. Google is losing AR talent. Sony and Microsoft sign a deal on Call of Duty. Intel is killing the NUC.

And I’ve spent a weekend with the Pixel Fold and the Pixel Tablet! Time for my COMPLETE long term review!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

Happy Monday!

Threads is growing like crazy, but what concerns might we have for a new social media platform from Meta? Evernote is scaling way back on staff, and moving operations to Europe. Google is looking to ditch Samsung for a future Tensor chip. Scientists believe we might have found evidence of alien intelligence here on Earth. I spent some time reviewing the Sony AX7 Portable Speaker system.

And I want to spend a little time in the SomeGadgetGuy mailbag!

Let’s get our tech week started right!
