#SGGQA 313: Tech and Tetris – Asus Says Goodbye to ZenFone, Sony Acquires Audeze, Google’s TERRIBLE AR Plans…

***

I REALLY needed a break and wanted to play some Tetris with some pals. This is probably one of the WORST audio podcasts I’ve ever produced, but it was exactly the kind of casual show I needed. The video replay will make a LOT more sense as we play a few rounds and chat about some tech gear. 

We’ll be back next week with a proper list of links and stories!

Happy Monday! Last Monday of the month! It’s a Pajama Podcast show!

This week we’re playing some Tetris while we chat about the news! This might be one of the poorer podcasts for audio listeners in my replay crew!

We’ll go wherever the chat wants to go, and we have a TON of topics we might cover. Asus might be killing the ZenFone line. Sony bought my favorite headphone manufacturer. Google and Samsung have a TERRIBLE plan for AR goggles.

AND CAN ANYONE BEAT ME IN TETRIS???

Let’s get our tech week started right!

#SGGQA 312 – AI Art Not Copyrightable, Twitter’s Continued Meltdown, Lenovo Legion Go, Surviving the California HurriQuake

Happy Monday!

What a crazy weekend. We had a tropical storm and an earthquake!

Plus, Twitter continues to dumpster dive to lower and lower depths. Apple devices are easy to game with some basic Bluetooth hardware. Sandisk drives are failing. Courts rule AI art can’t be copyrighted.

And we have to chat about this new gaming handheld from Lenovo!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

#SGGQA 311 – Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 Reactions, MacBooks Aren’t Repairable, Disney Dumps Metaverse

Happy Monday!

Embargoes are dropping and I can finally chat about some of the tech on my desk! Like a new 3D printer from AnkerMake, and the mini-drone I’ve been flying!

Also, Disney dumps the metaverse. CNET dumps thousands of old articles. Apple dumps repairability on the MacBook. Firefox dumps the INABILITY to install browser extensions.

And we have to check out the Mix Fold 3 announcement from Xiaomi!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

#SGGQA 310 – Qualcomm Takes a RISC, Fusion Power Breakthrough, YouTube Enhanced Playback, Trying to Figure Out LK-99

Happy Monday!

This might be the most science-y show I’ve ever tried to put together!

Qualcomm is partnering with firms to develop RISC competitors to ARM. YouTube is ENHANCING 1080p playback for Premium users. ISPs are likely grifting the FCC. Amazon and WalMart are still selling expired Chromebooks.

And what the heck is going on with LK-99? What’s a Superconductor? Augh! My Brain!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

We’re back from a road trip, and being on the road is the perfect time to really test a BUNCH of gadgets! I’ve got some thoughts on the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold. I’ve been putting the XREAL BEAM through its paces.

AND! Beyerdynamic has a NEW BT NECKBAND!

Let’s get our tech week started right!

#SGGQA 308 Special Edition: How I Became a Samsung HATER (and YOU can TOO!)

Happy Monday!

While traveling, I’ve pre-recorded this podcast in advance of this week’s Samsung Unpacked event. A bit serious and a bit tongue in cheek, here’s how I transitioned from die-hard Samsung Knight to insufferable hater.

I often pick on the most toxic members of a brand’s fandom, but I haven’t done a great job of explaining how I got here.

Let’s get our tech week started right!
