I just saw 's directed by Alex Garland and I'm pretty disappointed by the real lack of social or political commentary and the choice to paint war journalists as adrenaline junkies who seek sick thrills and don't care about the people and struggles they document.

Also highlighting that the movie really wants to believe that documenting atrocities doesn't matter.

Just the most dead brain liberal understanding of the dynamic of between why countries might descend into civil war and the most dead brain liberal answer of "how to stop creeping fascism/authoritarianism"

"A visually impressive exercise in saying nothing"

Absolutely no critical understanding of the political economy of the mass media.

Highly recommend "It Could Happen Here" if you want like an indepth socio-political analysis and plausible scenario of the next american civil war

@SomeGadgetGuy beautiful while vapid. Toothless would imply the movie has a mouth but id go so far as it has no mouth because it says nothing.

Amazing and effective cinematography, phenomenal acting, lacks any meaningful analysis and the closest we get to visual metaphor falls so flat on its face I'm almost offended I tried giving it meaning.

Hint: Jesse Plemons' character; it's not subtle and was a waste of a perfectly good setup.

Facing a huge rise of hearing loss in young adults and teens, it's up to us grownups to not only teach kids better listening habits, but also give them better audio tools.

Using something like the PuroQuiet Plus, I don't feel like I'm nagging my daughter to turn the sound down, and I know she's appreciating higher fidelity sound.

If you're tired of poor recommendations from the YouTube algorithm (or you keep your watch history turned off) why not make YOUR OWN YouTube? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3yS
It's really easy to follow your favorite channels, and get MUCH faster notifications when they put out new videos 👍

I'm a huge fan of the PetaPixel podcast, but I feel a lot of photography enthusiasts have a HUGE blindspot when it comes to mobile cameras. Following the release of the Galaxy S24, I had a lot of thoughts on THEIR thoughts about Samsung's new phone...

I don't think I called your credentials into question? But you didn't answer mine anyway.

If my car has an older engine but gets me where I need to go in the time I need to get there I should just junk the whole thing and buy a new one?

I think these evolutions are fantastic and amazing and as a tech enthusiast I love to play with and push the limits of new hardware don't get me wrong but repeating this idea of junking perfectly usable consumer tech every time some consortium publishes a new standard for data centers is disingenuous and unsustainable.

We can't even get fiber to home in the US I don't think mass market users will be feeling a noticeable difference between PCIe Gen 4 media and SATA 3. then taking into account how all these tech bubble companies are throttling their formerly free services now that they have to compete with non 1% interest rates and I'm hard pressed to see the need for major hardware upgrades that aren't planned obsolescence.

I'm reviewing an inexpensive laptop from one of those super low cost budget PC brands, and yeah, the frame is generic, and the screen is just "good", and the sides are a bit creaky, but damned if I don't love how easy it is to pop open.
10 standard screws and I can replace almost everything on the inside of this thing...

Can't tell if this is sarcasm, but if it isn't apple is notorious for using ten to tens of non uniform screws so repairing let alone upgrading apple computers is incredibly difficult.

"New display tethered your phone, except apple who tethered you to the batter which is an interesting and different design choice..." IDK, don't we want to make these things super light weight and breathable? I'm okay if my SUPER POWER PHONE that is already a battery also runs lightweight Google's. @SomeGadgetGuy this is at a tech trends meeting for a tech company.

@SomeGadgetGuy@techhub.social avatar

If you're reading through headset reviews, and you catch a phrase like:

"It's a VR headset masquerading as an AR headset."

You can be fairly certain that this reviewer or journalist stopped paying attention to XR solutions back during Google Glass, and is only covering the segment now because "Apple" in the title of an article or video drives traffic.

You're not likely to get a good accounting of what Mixed Reality is really like today from this individual.

@SomeGadgetGuy doing a really great video about the state of tech at large doesn't want to innovate because that costs money and tech media is completely access based so we're trapped in this LSC hell scape.
