I'm a #Geek

An Unabashed Geek at that. As much as I like the way Apple looks and feels, I detest that you are locked into it. The same goes for Windoze.

With GNU/Linux you have multiple #Desktops. #Gnome is probably the most popular (but please for Gawd's sakes don't quote me). Then there's #KDE (which makes me think of Windoze). Then #Mate, #Cinnamon, #Budgie, #LXQt, #Deepin. These are just a few. Each has it's own pros and cons (LXQt is extremely light on resources but not very customisable). Deepin has incredible graphics and animations, but is extremely resource hungry. Mate uses Gnome 2 (because the author hated Gnome 3). etc etc etc...

Pixel 8a vs OnePlus 12R! These might be the best two mid-ranger phones in the USA right now!

Samsung is facing a labor strike for the first time ever. Apple is union busting. The FCC cancelled its affordable internet program. AI is all the rage with investors, but no one is using it.

Android trackers are FINALLY here! And, we should chat announcements at Computex!

Let's get our tech week started right!

Early Access on Patreon: Android Location Trackers are FINALLY shipping!
https://www.patreon.com/posts/pebblebee-and-105412292

I ordered these LITERALLY a YEAR AGO to the day, and they JUST ARRIVED!
Apple stalled the Google location tracker network for as long as they could, but now we FINALLY have some competition for AirTags!

Apple is partnering with OpenAI to improve Apple's lagging AI strategy, but we still don't know what the deal looks like.
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45u

Is Apple paying OpenAI? Is OpenAI paying Apple?

This is a tough partnership for Apple, as the optics on AI in general run counter to the marketing Apple has poured into "privacy".

Shareholders must be REALLY excited though...

OnePlus 12 Camera Conclusion! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45r

The exciting thing about tech, we're seeing a race to get better camera tech into lower and lower priced phones. OnePlus is battling well against iPhone Pros and Galaxy Ultras, but at SIGNIFICANTLY lower prices!

A whole slate of new laptops are coming, and of course, manufacturers are trying to impress us with THINNESS! What about test driving a machine at the complete OPPOSITE of the thinness spectrum? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45T

It's so rad to do a sponsored video like this, and the first thing they ask is "Can you blast our laptop with a hose?"

It's big, thicc, and chunky, but there are SO MANY things on this Getac I wish I had on "regular" thin laptops...

I am such a nerd. Since I got my converted to electric '76 KZ400 going again I'm using it for all of my around town trips. Here I am loaded for work this morning with art gallery hanging system track and my tool bag.

The newest most powerful chips from Intel and AMD don't qualify for Microsoft's newest CoPilot+ AI branding. We're already seeing INCREDIBLE deals on crazy powerful PCs, because of all the AI hype! Here's my review of the Geekom A8, with a BEAST of an AMD chip inside! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45e

A quick short on Apple turning EVERY WiFi router into a location tracker, the privacy mess it could potentially create, and how to opt out. Enjoy!

Early access on Patreon! Geekom's new mini PC is a MIGHTY MOUSE at a great price!

This tiny PC is now packing the most powerful laptop chip AMD makes!
Funnily enough, Microsoft threw AMD and Intel under the bus.
NONE of the current selling "AI" PCs qualify for the "CoPilot" branding.
Who knows, maybe you don't want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway?

Who wants "thin and light" when your laptop could be mistaken for RoboCop's lunch box?

Bidouille: j'ai validé il y a quelques mois le micro sur mon iphone pour doctolib et depuis, impossible de me faire entendre de mon médecin en téléconsultation sur mon macbookpro sauf à éteindre mon téléphone. J'ai beau regardé dans les réglages, je ne vois pas que le micro est relié à Doctolib, je suis en train de m'arracher ce qui me reste de cheveux. Si quelqu'un a une idée? (par pitié, ne me dites pas de virer Doctolib, j'ai déjà essayé)

Microsoft is about to kick off BUILD, and showing new Windows on ARM PCs! AZ is suing Amazon over unfair business practices! iFixit digs even deeper into how much wireless charging sucks. And maybe the Dead Internet theory is true?

OnePlus 12 WiFi Mystery! Why is my phone connecting to an Network?

https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45G

CONTROVERSY! It's a little concerning. My phone keeps trying to connect to a mystery network, listed as an ISP WiFi that (to my knowledge) doesn't do business here in California. Has anyone else seen something like this? What's going on?
