All About Android Ends… Saying Goodbye to One of My Favorite Geek Podcasts…

This has been a tough couple of weeks for some of my favorite social media sites, and now I’m sitting in my kitchen getting weepy over one of my favorite podcasts signing off for the last time.

You can always get a feel for when a show you enjoy might be on its way out, but it still hits hard when they finally pull the plug.

After 635 episodes, All About Android is ending its run on the TWiT network of podcasts.

AAA was one of my most consistently listened to podcasts. It was one of my favorite talk shows to have on in my car, sitting in LA traffic. The hosts’ voices (especially Jason, Ron, and Flo) will be burned into my brain for the rest of my life.

Social media continues it’s decline.

Robo and Kala 2 in 1 Laptop: A Surface Pro 9 Killer?

Robo and Kala makes a fantastic convertible laptop!

Sleek, lightweight, and using a Qualcomm chip, we get fantastic battery life. Robo and Kala are sponsoring this video to look at Windows on ARM performance, but we should also do a LITTLE bit of a comparison. Can the Robo and Kala beat Microsoft at their own game? This computer is built with an OBVIOUS competitor in mind. I was a big fan of the Surface Pro 9 5G

It’s time for a showdown! Continue reading “Robo and Kala 2 in 1 Laptop: A Surface Pro 9 Killer?”

#SGGQA 302 – Reddit Goes Dark, Pixel 8 Camera Upgrades, Netflix Password Crackdown, YouTube Election Misinformation

What a strange time we live in.

There’s a LOT of tech news firing up around the web! Reddit’s moderators are pulling popular subreddits down in protest of API changes. Twitter still refuses to pay their bills. Tesla’s autopilot might be responsible for more accidents than previously thought. YouTube has stopped removing misinformation about the last election. We say goodbye to Blue Microphones.

And we can dig into some of the rumors about the upcoming Pixel 8!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

The GlowingRectangle Subreddit Will Also Go Dark on June 12 – There are DOZENS of Us!

I ran a little tech enthusiast subreddit built around the idea of sharing content that deserved more attention. I held out til the last minute to see if Reddit would reverse course on their API plans.

It breaks my heart to announce we’ll be shuttering this little tech fan sharing space.

GlowingRectangles is going dark too. The relevant info can be found on the sub here:

Apple Vision Pro: Years of Hype for an Expensive Dev Kit…

Apple Vision Pro reaction.

I’m disappointed. There are FEW products which have been hyped as hard (for as long) as Apple’s VR/AR headset. What Apple revealed at WWDC was underwhelming…

Let’s chat… Continue reading “Apple Vision Pro: Years of Hype for an Expensive Dev Kit…”
