Let's Talk Tech
I don’t do a ton of case reviewing, but I was in a bind.
The OnePlus 11 just arrived! Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any cases available to buy on OnePlus.com. Searching on Amazon, I was able to find ONE case available to purchase and ship here in the United States.
Foluu sells a $9 clear bumper case, and it’s a clear bumper case. Continue reading “I Bought The FIRST OnePlus 11 Case Available on Amazon! It’s $9! It’s Fine…”

This week is getting started HOT!

Let’s get our tech week started right!
I love the Steam Deck. It’s amazing.
Playing with it, I hope we’ll continue to see more portable PC gaming devices hit the market. At some point, there will be a console which “kills” the Steam Deck, but that hasn’t happened yet. Just because another console might be more powerful, doesn’t mean it’s a Steam Deck “killer”.
Let’s discuss… Continue reading “Sorry Chief, There are NO Steam Deck “Killers” Out Now…”
Following another RAGING ear infection, I’m finally back and healthy. Time to shove MORE EARBUDS IN MY EARS!
And I finally get to revisit a surprising premium True Wireless bud. My friend Jeff at ElJefeReviews sent the NuraTrue Pro my way, and this elicited a really surprising reaction from me on first listen.
You can LITERALLY see that reaction in my podcast, where I set them up live.
Then my ear infection flared, and I spent two months keeping IEMs and tips out of my ears.
Finally getting that inflammation to calm down, I was really excited to take the NuraTrue for a spin again. They do not disappoint. Continue reading “NuraTrue Pro True Wireless Earbuds: I said “Wow” out loud…”

Let’s get our tech week started right!
Phones do “phone things”. If you want to do MORE than “phone things” you can buy a tablet, or a laptop, or a desktop. Phones aren’t “computers”. Phones are phones.
At least, that seems to be a prevailing idea among more affluent communities.
In many areas around the world, a low-cost smartphone might be the only computing and data platform a user might be able to afford. Increasingly, in North America, we’re seeing many people struggle with inflation, rising food and energy costs, and a shift of work/life digital balance.
Each year we detail all the incredible ways our phones get more powerful and more impressive. Yet we still discuss these devices at a fairly low estimation of what a phone SHOULD be able to do. There’s some acknowledgement now that phones CAN be good for gaming (if there’s regularly a knee-jerk reaction to point out “mobile gaming BAD”), but there aren’t as many conversations happening about practical compute use.
Beyond a bigger benchmark score, how does someone USE that power in their phone? Continue reading “Losing Consumer Hearts and Minds: Watering Down POWER User Smartphones…”
