Let's Talk Tech
TCL 6 Series hands on!
I’m not a TV reviewer, but I definitely have some thoughts on this TV from TCL! What happens when you take a pretty HDR TV and you staple it to a Chromecast? You get a fantastic solution for movies and gaming! The TCL label just means you won’t have to pay as much for the privilege.

RODE AI-Micro review! Recording an interview or podcast on the go? This might be the fastest way to hook up two lavalier mics and get that recording! Going hands on, there’s a LOT to like about RODE’s newest and smallest audio interface!
I also got to sneak in a quick lav comparison… Continue reading “RODE AI-Micro: The TINIEST way to hook up TWO Mics!”
I’m always going to be excited by better competition.
In 2019, the mobile landscape was dominated by Qualcomm and Apple SOCs at the premium tier of phones and tablets. HiSilicon’s Kirin was facing issues due to political pressures placed on Huawei. MediaTek maintained a respectable reputation as a mid-range and entry-level chip provider.
We didn’t have much choice in what powered more expensive gadgets.
Flash forward two years, we’re starting to get some insight on what will power devices in 2022, and this market is a LOT more exciting.
MediaTek took the wraps off a premium tier competitor. We’re about to hear more from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon team. Apple’s A15 is solidly refined over the A14. Google launched their first custom chip with the Pixel 6.
A stale landscape has exploded, and more companies are rumored to be designing their own solutions over the next several years.

Earfun Free Pro 2 Review!
I love revisiting companies as they release new gear and refresh their products. EarFun continues to impress as a tech savvy wallet friendly brand in the true wireless earbud space. The original Free Pro were amazing earbuds for the price, but now the market has gotten more competitive.
Can the Free Pro 2 still impress? Let’s take a listen! Continue reading “Earfun Free Pro 2 Review: Best Earbud Bargain of 2021?”
Apple is walking back their terrible decision to harm 3rd party iPhone repair, and we get an even better look at the Pixel 6 Pro in an iFixit teardown! Vizio announced recent profits, and ads ON their TV make them more money than selling TVs. Steam Deck has been delayed, and it’s breaking my heart.
Plus, we should start chatting categories for year in review videos!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
OnePlus Buds Pro review!
OnePlus has a solid track record on audio, and I’ve had consistently good experiences with OnePlus earbuds. The Buds Pro arrive in a crazy competitive market for Bluetooth audio. You need more than “good audio quality” to standout in this lineup.
OnePlus brings some interesting and novel features, but one codec issue might hamper the fun for OnePlus phone owners…
Let’s discuss… Continue reading “OnePlus Buds Pro Review: YOUR Best Buds?”
Poco M4 Pro Review!
Poco proudly flies the “flagship killer” banner, delivering phones that offer an incredible bang for buck. The new M4 Pro is in the GadgetLab, and taking it for a test drive, this is brutal competition. Standing out from the crowd is a challenge though.
Does this Poco have the goods to get YOUR attention? Continue reading “Poco M4 Pro 5G: Everything YOU need?”
