I've been spending some time this month running... and then jumping on the Withings Body Scan scale to see how I'm tracking. It's a high-end scale with an equally high-end price -- read my full review now!
The gasoline mayhem is breathtaking but gets fatiguing, unlike its more focused predecessor, Fury Road. Both Alyla Browne and Anya Taylor-Joy are noteworthy Furiosas. Though their presence isn't enough to save this overlong prequel from a spluttering narrative. What saddens me most is that it's focused too much on the action to build on the feminist fury alive in its sequel.
The hilarious thing about Microsoft going all in on AI with #CoPilot and #Recall, they threw Intel and AMD under the bus. The whole last year of "AI PCs" won't get features like Recall.
The consumer reaction to Recall has been overwhelmingly negative, but all these companies are afraid of shareholders and investors wanting more AI hype to make stock prices look good.
But #AMD and #Intel have all these chips made that are falling in price fast.
You can find some CRAZY deals on computers right now that WONT run Recall, but are over-kill powerful for home systems.
Mini PC's used to sell chips that were two or three years old. This Geekom is using AMD's current laptop chip, with 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage for $899!
It's a REAL good time to shop a NON Recall compatible PC.
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
Early access on Patreon! Geekom's new mini PC is a MIGHTY MOUSE at a great price! https://www.patreon.com/posts/geekom-a8-mini-104755258
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?

🇳🇬 Am I fair when I discuss shows with you, or is my enthusiasm for discovery sometimes getting the best of me ? Well, this wasn't really a dilemma in the case of Nigerian comedy #AwkwardThingsAboutLosingWeight, for once.
🇨🇦 With arte airing the entire miniseries tonight (make sure not to miss it !), I wanted to discuss the Canadian drama #LittleBird, a touching exploration of what it meant for thousands of Indigenous children to have been abducted from their families.
🇨🇦 And as a companion article, you can also read my review of the first episode of French Canadian series #PourToiFlora, which specifically depicts the experience of the children sent to residential schools, and discusses their trauma decades later.
🇮🇪 This review has been 10 years in the making. I've always wanted to tell you about Irish thriller #AnBronntanas, but never found the time. After rewatching the miniseries earlier this month, I finally put words on it. I hope you like chaos !
🇩🇪🇫🇷🇯🇵🇦🇪 This is quite an interesting assortment of four broadcasters from three different continents, that have decided to coproduce #Concordia. In this sci-fi thriller set in a city where everyone is recorded, your private data is supposed to be safer than anywhere else in the world. Not so safe, however, when a murder takes place...
🇹🇭 The women of Thai series #BangkokKhanika (or #BangkokBlossom) didn't choose sex work. As the youngest is almost of age to be auctioned off, the three sisters decide to buy their independence, which will come at a cost...
🇮🇳 Set during the first half of the 20th century in an opulent entertainment neighborhood of Lahore, Indian series #Heeramandi is a sublime but tragic tale about the fate of courtesans in a troubled time. Freedom will not come to them, or to their country, easily.
