Let's Talk Tech
Face computing is hard, but audio makes it a lot easier. The Vue Lite build true wireless earbuds into a pair of glasses or sunglasses. Tiny speakers play your audio and phone calls. But most importantly, I think they look pretty good!

A camera isn’t the same thing for every consumer.
Even though standalone cameras have become less popular for consumer point and shoot use, we still see an incredible variety of hardware and form-factors. There is no universal agreement on what a camera “is”. People still have entirely unique needs where those differences matter to the individual.
This isn’t just some oblique idea of specialty or “pro” use. At a basic level, someone’s specific needs will be better fulfilled by a tool designed for those needs.
Yet in the world of smartphone camera reviewing, we crouch a significant portion of the conversation behind some idea of “The Avuraj CunZoomer™”. We build phone camera conversations around a fallacy that there is some common or objective agreement on what a camera SHOULD be.
It’s only at the most regressively basic level that we might find some agreement.
You should be able to push a button that results in an image being captured.
Beyond that, cameras should specialize. We should see different pros and cons. That’s what makes cameras exciting. Continue reading “How techies get phone camera reviews wrong…”
Camera conversations love to focus on new features and listing all the hardware specs, but trying to describe WHY one camera might be better than another requires a LOT more nuance. It’s not as simple as which camera has “the gooder colors”, we gotta dig deeper than that.
Let’s chat about how a camera FEELS in the hand. 👍

This one is REALLY easy.
EarFun continues to impress with their true wireless bang for buck. The Air Pro 2 are true wireless earbuds with ALL the trimmings. Solid sound, wireless charging case, VERY good ANC.
But! They arrive at a SHOCKINGLY low price!
Here are my thoughts! Continue reading “EarFun Air Pro 2 Review: The MOST fun your ears can have under $80!”
Onlyfans has reversed course on banning explicit adult content. A Samsung phone caught fire on a plane! Apple profits significantly from search on their products. The Pixel 6 might be arriving soon!
And let’s chat a bit about my first impressions on the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
While some of the most expensive phones of the year are shipping out to people who pre-ordered, I thought it would be kinda fun to chat about the LEAST expensive phone I could get my hands on this year!
Question for you. When is a cheap phone TOO cheap? I’m spending some time with the Nuu X6 Plus, and it’s interesting taking an inexpensive phone for a spin.
Let’s chat. Continue reading “Budget phones: When is Cheap, TOO Cheap? (Feat. Nuu X6 Plus)”
We love phone showdowns. People cheer their “team”. We get emotionally invested in the products we buy and use.
It’s surprisingly difficult to properly divide up phones into categories where those comparisons are fair. It’s casually easy to look at a landscape of phones under $500 and pick a few for a fight. If you’ve followed my videos and reviews, you know I really like to get more specific about what KIND of device a phone might be.
I don’t think price is the decider as much as functionality or the target consumer demographic.
We should compare “communicator” phones against other communicator phones. Content creation phones should be compared against other creator phones. Gaming phones should be compared against gaming phones (and the Nintendo Switch).
With all that said, allow me to be a hypocrite as I purposely select two phones to fight based on price! Continue reading “Google Pixel 5A vs iPhone SE: What real competition looks like!”
