Let's Talk Tech
Apple’s talks with Kia and Hyundai have fallen apart. President Biden brings back weekly addresses in a new format. Trump wanted a stake in Parler. OnePlus might partner with Hasselblad for the OnePlus 9. Apple’s VR headset might cost $3000.
And let’s chat about new phones and the idea of “worth”!
Let’s get your tech week started right!

We tech reviewers talk a LOT about “average consumers”.
My wife Marie is a tech savvy individual, but she isn’t “into” tech like I am. Her LG G7 was getting a bit long in the tooth, and we really struggled to find her a new phone.
Balancing features against some compromises, we eventually arrived on a Pixel 4a 5G. She’s been using the phone for a couple months now, and is ready to share some thoughts!
Also, we were drinking bourbon, so that’s fun too. Continue reading “#SGGQA 191: Mrs. GadgetGuy and her New Pixel 4a 5G”

We’re all kind of dealing with different flavors of an existential tech crisis. Let’s chat.
Are we THAT out of touch? No. No it’s the children who are wrong…

1More has a solid reputation for consumer audio gear. I really enjoy their options for multi-driver and noise cancelling ear buds. Turning their sights on a more cost friendly option, the ComfoBuds are a familiar solution for easy fit and communicator functions.

Our semi-regular pajama party podcast!
Taking a chill chat through viewer questions. Let’s hang out and geek out!
Plus, we’ll have to see if anyone nailed all the answers in my Pixel 5 photo showdown!

Tech reviewers are breaking in new phones from Samsung and Apple, both companies using larger sensors for their respective cameras. It’s interesting to see a general commentary from large tech outlets, where they assert the Pixel 5’s camera is “too old” to compare against these new phones.
Is that really how phone cameras work? Does a slightly larger camera sensor REALLY make such a significant difference in photo performance? Why aren’t these tech “journalists” showing their work?

Pulling my video from an actual live stream, lets chat about mobile broadcasting, and how to clean up your setup! Continue reading “XPERIA Pro Setup! Troubleshoot Mobile Broadcasts!”
