#SGGQA 386: Xiaomi 15, MWC 2025 Kicks Off, AMD GPUs Looking Good, Apple Sued Over Carbon Claims

Apple is sued over carbon-neutral claims, and they try to explain why the 16e is such a terrible phone. NVIDIA might be purposely holding back stock to inflate prices. AMD announced some GPUs that might be actual competition for a change. Microsoft is shutting down Skype. OpenAI’s new model seems like a dud, but it’s MUCH more expensive. EA released the source code for one of my all time favorite classic PC games. MWC kicks off today, but the news has been pretty quiet.

And we HAVE to talk about all this Xiaomi stuff!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

KZ Zenith IEM Earbud Review: KZ Tuning is Growing Up?

KZ Zenith Review!

This brand helped introduce me to a whole world of cabled audio experiences. While I often hold them up as examples of the genre, I’ve kinda grown into preferring other solutions. The Zenith bring in some interesting new tech bits, and a four switch tuning feature, but most importantly, I think KZ is changing up how they tune their earbuds.

A little? I think… Continue reading “KZ Zenith IEM Earbud Review: KZ Tuning is Growing Up?”

#SGGQA 385: Meta Says Piracy is Legal, and Apple REALLY Hates Making Phones for the Poors…

ANOTHER law firm has been caught using AI to write briefs with fake cases cited. Microsoft trial shows that more people think AI is lame once they learn how it works. Meta says piracy is legal. Amazon kills their Android app store. Apple does pull end to end encryption in the UK, like we said they would.

EARS ARE GROSS! BeBird EarSight Cleaning Cameras Review!

BeBird Ear Cleaning cameras review!

Ears are kinda funky. Weird shapes, lots of “stuff” like wax, hard to care for, and REALLY sensitive. Adding a small ear camera to your family’s medicine toolbox is a REALLY good idea.
BeBird is hoping to make endoscopic cameras as common in homes as thermometers and scales.

Let’s chat about some options for family health tech!

Here’s a look at the BeBird EarSIght Pro and Earsight Complete (and a look INSIDE my own ears)! Continue reading “EARS ARE GROSS! BeBird EarSight Cleaning Cameras Review!”

Vivo X200 Review: The (Non-Pro) Lil Brother Ain’t so Little…

There are a couple different ways we can do a series of premium phones. Vivo has a spectrum of devices offered under the X200 label. I’ve spent a lot of time already using the X200 Pro to get work done for my videos and reviews.

The X200 arrives with the same powerhouse chip, but a few other “cost sensitive” component choices. Using it has been really interesting…

Curious how the X200 Pro performs BEFORE checking out the X200? Here’s my review of the X200 Pro!

OnePlus Watch 3 Review: The Best Android Smartwatch!

OnePlus Watch 3 review!

Here it is. This is the best Android powered smartwatch currently available. OnePlus continues a “hybrid” OS strategy that delivers the best battery life on a full fledged smartwatch. The best battery by A LOT.

Still it wouldn’t be a OnePlus launch without a LITTLE stickiness, and there’s a bit of an issue with this heart tracking hardware…
