Let's Talk Tech
MORE companies are joining the social media advertising boycott! Microsoft is closing all of their retail stores and shutting down Mixer! TikTok is SUPER spying on you! Olympus is out of the camera game! Focals got sold to Google! WWDC happened last week!
And we should probably chat about the government’s plans to end encryption…
Let’s get our tech week started right!
If tech reviewers can’t handle nuanced differences, then what good are we?
Different solutions will perform differently, and the different “feel” is what reviewers are meant to convey. It’s not a reviewer’s job to take the most popular solution for a need, and treat that as a “standard” by which every competing solution must be judged. That’s the easiest way to rig the game, and ensure that any competition is viewed as inferior.
Rationally, when presented with the paragraph above, most of us probably nod along. We “know” this. Yet when presented with actual reviews of consumer electronics, all too often, the review scene falls in line with whatever is most popular. It’s broadly the most familiar, and we use that popularity as evidence that it must be “better”.

A little outside my normal review regiment, but I couldn’t pass up a military grade rugged tablet. Panasonic is pushing ahead on Android for enterprise, and using a ToughBook shell is exciting for a Google powered slate. If only we could get some of this hardware and support in a consumer grade tablet… Continue reading “Panasonic ToughBook FZ-A3: Android Gets TOUGH!”
LG continues a push for more affordable, but still feature packed, 5G phones. This is my first review of a phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765!
Can the Velvet hang with more “premium” devices? Can it outperform cheaper phones?
Let’s look at some numbers!
I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve never test driven planar magnetic headphones. They always seemed a bit TOO exotic, or a little TOO pricey.
Audeze was looking to school me on my preconceived bias, and I’m glad they did. Let’s have a chat about some premium cans! Continue reading “Audeze LCD-1 Review: My FIRST Planar Magnetic Headphones! WOW!”
