Let's Talk Tech
Not the “best” phones of the year. Certainly not the most popular phones of the year.
I believe Google and Sony have made the most distinctly different phones from each other, and these phones are the “bookends” of the Premium Android market.
I don’t know that two phones could be more different from each other, and that’s enough for me to shoot a showdown!

We reveal the best Dyson deals of all time!
Ever wonder what the best deal ever was on any given product? At Slickdeals, we know.
In fact, we know for just about every product there is. Now we’re taking our 20+ years of historical deal data to put together a new series. We put our Slickdeals staff to the test to see how well they know the best deals on top products.
In this video, @Trisha Hershberger and @JuanBagnell go head to head to see who can Guess The Deal.
Is HBO Max Worth it?
HBO has always been the top name in premium television. But a lot has changed in the last 20 years. Now it is consumed as a subscription streaming service more than it is as a cable add-on. Now people have the opportunity to pick and choose streaming services, subscribe for a month or two at a time, cancel, and be more selective.
In this video, we take a look at HBO Max’s offerings, compare its service to competitors, and decide whether the average consumer should pay $14.99 per month to get the HBO Max content library without ads.
Do you have any tips for maximizing one month of HBO max service? Any watching schedules? Tell us in the comments!
SOC SHOWDOWN!
Let’s get nerdy with some silicon announcements! Qualcomm vs MediaTek vs Google! We have a better idea of what chips will be in our phones for the first half of 2023. What makes them different? How will we grade them for performance? Will it matter to consumers what chip is in their phones?
Let’s dig into the specs and take a look! Continue reading “Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 vs Dimensity 9200 vs Tensor 2! What we know so far…”
Velotric Nomad 1 road test!
I’m getting up to speed on ebikes, but what’s the deal with these HUGE TIRES? The Nomad is a beefy fat tire bike with a POWERFUL motor. I’m test driving some Velotric ebikes, and I’m trying to lose some pandemic weight. After using their road bike (the Discover 1), I have a choice to make.
Would I keep the road bike, or would I use the fat tire bike? One seems better for traditional commuting, but the other seems more fun for off-roading.
Which bike would be the right fit for your needs? Which bike do you think would be more fun?
Let’s take this Nomad 1 for a spin! Continue reading “Velotric Nomad 1 Fat Tire E-Bike: Is it a Good Road Bike? (Part 2)”
PODCAST IS GO!
I’m back and refreshed from a trip up to wine country courtesy of MediaTek. We saw a number of cool new tech bits announced at the MediaTek Summit!
Also, Apple is hit with a class action suit over privacy claims. Musk and Twitter continue to meltdown around us.
And most importantly of all, LumaFusion is now on Android!
Let’s get our tech week started off right!

UPerfect X14 Pro review!
I’m a huge fan of lapdocks and portable displays. The X14 Pro is a great example of a portable battery powered display, and it adds one HIGHLY requested feature. Folks asking for wireless connectivity, we can now connect phones and computers to this dock WITHOUT a cable.
What does that really look like though? Is it as functional as we’ve been hoping? What about the battery life?
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “UPerfect X14 Pro Wireless LapDock: Can we FINALLY cut the cable?”
Hello.
I edit video on my phones. I edit A LOT of video on my phones.
We keep selling people on the idea of increasingly powerful pocket computers, but we also do a poor job of showcasing apps that will USE that extra power.
Developers like to make apps for the Apple ecosystem. It’s easier to support the smaller number of phones and processors. When we have an opportunity to support a developer bringing an iOS-only app to Android, we enthusiasts need to step up and act.
The smartphone landscape is looking a little bleak…
