Let's Talk Tech
Will a phone by any other name perform as sweetly? Sure!
I really thought these two would be more similar, but ONE accessory decision makes them feel significantly different. The G8X couldn’t feel more different from the G8 than if they were made by different manufacturers.
Let’s take a quick tour through what’s different! Continue reading “LG G8X vs LG G8: The difference ONE letter makes!”
At what point do you pull the plug? Youtube drama is in high gear AGAIN. A popular streamer had a huge chunk of their videos demonetized because of a song in the YouTube Audio Library. Also, how are content creators handling COPPA?
John Legere announces he will be stepping down as CEO of T-Mobile. Ford unveiled a new e-Mustang. The FCC is getting sued AGAIN. And what should we do about health data and private companies.
Let’s get our tech week started off right!
EPIC smartphone throttle test!
If we want phones to start replacing laptops, they have to handle heavier workloads. I’ve gotten criticisms that my video rendering test is too short, so let’s REALLY drive some phones hard. What if we rendered a WHOLE MOVIE on a phone? Can our mobile gadgets hand with laptops? Will phones run too hot?
Only one way to know! We gotta do it!
Let’s be frank. If I hadn’t put “Apple” in the post title, would you have clicked on it?
The reason this article is going to focus on Apple, they are the highest profile company pushing these kinds of manufacturing decisions. If you’re a fan of Apple hardware, I’m sure there will be an inclination towards defending your brand.
Other companies should be criticized too.
Though, we should acknowledge that many of these companies wouldn’t be following this path without Apple. AirPods show how profitable it is to make expensive headphones as disposable as possible. Apple stands to take the lion share of the profits with this tactic. It’s my belief we should start with the largest companies, and THEN work down to smaller players copying Apple.
We should “punch up” with our criticisms. Apple is currently the king of this e-waste hill. We’ll start with them. Continue reading “Apple: Premium e-Waste and Normalizing Disposability”
I’m partnering with Audio-Technica to give away an amazing gaming headset for Thanksgiving!
The ATH-G1WL is one of the best performing wireless headsets I’ve ever used. Fantastic audio fidelity, an excellent microphone, built by one of the most respected brands in recording. AND YOU COULD WIN ONE! Continue reading “Audio-Technica ATH-G1WL Wireless Gaming Headset Giveaway! Tech I’m thankful for!”
They’re SO PRETTY!
But do they sound as good as they look?
Premium headphones should be graded against sound quality, but we can’t dismiss the “fashion” side of the equation with any kind of wearable technology. With that in mind, let’s chat about the Meze 99 Classics! Continue reading “Meze 99 Classics Review: Walnut and Silver – Premium Audio – So Pretty”
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!
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…”
