Let's Talk Tech
The LG V60 has Android 11!
Totally fair to be concerned about the recent software support on the V60. Hardware this good, but the phone still needed some polish. Bringing some of the features we liked on the Wing and Velvet, the V60 got a NICE shot in the arm!
Here are the major updates I could find in under 48 hours! Continue reading “Android 11 on LG V60: Better Late Than Never! (Desktop Mode, Camera, Dual Display updates!)”
Galaxy S21 first impressions? Do not buy the Galaxy S21.
I’m early days into testing this phone, and it’s making me a little nervous. This year’s new Galaxy seems like a VERY poor value compared against last year’s Galaxy phones. Features, performance, and price. I think you’re better off shopping something else…

Industrial practicality still has a place in the consumer conversation.

Periodic Audio Rhodium USB DAC Review!
I know I have a fair number of cabled audio fans watching these reviews. We never got those great mainstream options we’d wanted to get for USB audio adapters. I’d always hoped a high profile audio manufacturer would step in with a DAC or an adapter, but sadly, these options seem to slide more boutique.
Well, Periodic Audio is a nerd-core boutique label, so let’s take a listen to what the Rhodium has to offer! Continue reading “Periodic Audio Rhodium: Revenge of the USB DAC?”
Sony A7S iii Review! BUT NOT REALLY!
I’m actually proper torn on this one. I’m leaning towards staying with my Lumix cameras because this Sony body is pricey.
But Damn.
Damn the A7S3 is a fantastic camera… Continue reading “Has the Sony A7S iii convinced me to dump Panasonic?”
Apple is adding an option to help people unlock their phones while wearing masks. We’ve had features like that on Android for YEARS now. Here’s a quick reminder, how to use Smart Lock on your Android phone! Continue reading “Use Face Unlock With a Mask on ANY Phone!”
Bluetooth bone conduction headset! Now with a nicer microphone!
Aftershokz is THE name for consumer bone conduction audio. The OpenComm is a fresh take on their sport headsets, focusing on productivity and office communication. How does “open ear” handle working at home?
