#SGGQA 122: YouTube Emotes, AT&T Jacks Your Bill, XPERIA 5 Impressions, LG G8X Reviewing, ASUS ROG II Benchmarking!

At what point do you pull the plug? Youtube drama is in high gear. A popular streamer’s audience was targeted and their GOOGLE accounts were getting disabled. YouTube will also be changing their terms of service to focus on “profitable” viewers. AT&T is finally settling an FTC fine from 2014, and they’re celebrating by raising subscriber rates! China is imposing a gaming curfew on kids. Can the state “parent” more effectively?

And let’s spend a LITTLE time chatting about the LG G8X and the Xperia 5!

Let’s get our tech week started off right!

Neckbands are BETTER than True Wireless Earbuds: It’s not even close…

Consumers are being pushed to Bluetooth audio, as phones ditch the headphone jack. The popular trend is true wireless. It’s kind of futuristic to cut the cord, but is it really better?

It is not.

There’s not a single comparison point where true wireless earbuds are better than a neckband solution, other than “they look nifty”.

Allow me to rant into your ear holes for a minute… Continue reading “Neckbands are BETTER than True Wireless Earbuds: It’s not even close…”

OnePlus 7T Review: You KNEW I was going to like it!

It’s one of the best phones of the year at any price. I’m not going to shock anyone by sharing my mostly positive experiences.

Still, we should chat about this phone, a CONFUSING year of product releases, and what people MIGHT want if they decide to shop upscale.

Does the 7T still hang against MUCH more expensive handsets?

We CAN test SOME Network Performance: Where I respectfully disagree with GaryExplains!

I love GaryExplains. Easily one of my favorite tech channels on YouTube. He’s one of the only TechTubers I feel actually explains things worth explaining.

Gary recently put out a video (embedded at the top of this article) where he explains why he doesn’t test network performance in his smartphone commentary. His reasoning is absolutely sound.

If you use a network speedtest app, there are way too many variables to consider for that test to have a scientific consistency.

But, just because network speedtest apps can’t be counted on for consistency, doesn’t mean we can’t control for SOME variables on our own. Continue reading “We CAN test SOME Network Performance: Where I respectfully disagree with GaryExplains!”

#SGGQA 121: ACLU sues FBI Over Face Recognition, Facebook Lying Political Ads, FitBit and Google, AirPods aren’t PRO

The ACLU is suing the  FBI over face recognition policy and a lack of transparency. Facebook will allow false political ads in the UK for upcoming election. Microsoft tests a 4-day work week in Japan. ANOTHER bad week for NordVPN users.  AirPods Pro are better for your ears but worse for your wallet and just as bad for the planet.

And let’s spend a LITTLE time chatting about the LG G8X!

Google Pixelbook Go: The future of mobile computing?

Pixelbook Go first impressions!

More than just reading off specs, I have a serious question for viewers.

What DO we want for the future of mobile computing?

Lot’s of tech reviewers are quick to point out the flaws of less popular products. I refuse to believe that the future of tech is “whatever Samsung and Apple decide to make”.

With that idea in mind, are there any good ideas here that we hope will evolve? Continue reading “Google Pixelbook Go: The future of mobile computing?”
