I still get a LOT of comments, from people who don't really want to learn about current ARM offerings, but like to speculate and complain about what ARM PCs can't do.

Before we start getting X Elite hardware, here's what older ARM PCs can do with SIGNIFICANTLY less powerful chips! It's a LOT more than you think...

Early Access on the Patreon! Unboxing the RayNeo X2 and early impressions on the first day of wearing them!

I desperately want a really good "smartwatch at eye level" heads-up-display. After using the X2 for a day... I'm just kinda sad...

Apple was never going to "save" VR.
We've spent the last decade giving Apple an unlimited runway of speculation and hype to bring a face computer to market.

https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3si

Instead of doing a better job earnestly and fairly covering the tech along the way, properly educating consumers on what these things can do, now even Vision Pro can't live up to the media's imagined narrative of Apple.

Apple did nothing to earn a DECADE of media support for XR products, but think of all the projects that were criticized for not living up to some kind of imaginary Sci-Fi standard.

"Wait for gen 2 or gen 3 instead!"

Techies expect everyone else to lift off like a helicopter, but Apple gets UNLIMITED runway...

ImmersiveMatthew,

@SomeGadgetGuy my point was it is the fanbois who hype it up and the media just caters to them as they know they will get clicks. Sure some of the media is paid for by Apple, but I suspect most is the former.

SomeGadgetGuy,
@SomeGadgetGuy@techhub.social avatar

@ImmersiveMatthew Yes. Your point is in the video.

At some point, you should just watch the video, instead of explaining to me what's in the video I made, and trying to correct me on what I already said.

In the video.

Now, you seem like someone who really cares about clarity and good info, but you can't really live that so long as you make assumptions on what people are talking about, and don't actually listen to what they say.

So i'm gonna go ahead and mute this thread now, but hopefully you come around and we can chat some time.

Microsoft is adding new “recommendations” to your Start Menu. Basically, we’re getting more ads in Windows 11. Thankfully it’s pretty easy to disable this new “feature” in your settings.

REPLAY CREW! Had a GREAT show this morning! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44R

Discord is getting scraped by a spy site. China wants Apple to drop all Meta apps from the app store! Twitter's Grok is spreading more fake news.
And next year's phone chips might be thirstier than this year's!

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X Review!

https://somegadgetguy.com/2024/04/19/beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro-x-a-fresh-twist-on-a-classic-studio-headphone/

I’ve used DT 770’s for YEARS now in my professional career, and it makes me nervous when a company says they’re going to update a classic piece of studio recording hardware. Using the new 770 Pro X for a couple weeks now, I have a LOT of thoughts.

Infinix makes some great bang-for-buck smartphones, and the Note 40 Pro+ has a fresh new look!
Have we seen this design before though?
Let’s check it out!

Microsoft is bringing more obnoxious "recommendations" (aka ads) to the Windows 11 start menu, but thankfully they're pretty easy to disable. https://youtube.com/shorts/L0ca9iAg-Q4

@SomeGadgetGuy Even easier would be to do like I do - I don't use the Start Menu hardly at all.

SomeGadgetGuy,
@SomeGadgetGuy@techhub.social avatar

@Da_Gut I got into the habit of keyboard shortcuts and macros with windows 8, and I just stuck with that.

Oh I have the Pixel 8 Pro. That visor occupies a LOT of space in the top third, and then immediately below it there are the wireless charging coils.
When we could offset a smaller camera sensor to the upper corner, we still had room for a big battery and a fingerprint sensor (and on the smaller pixel 5) wireless charging.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I still prefer the old LG layout for power button and controls. It's just unfortunate that we dont have a simple number metric to discuss ergonomics like we can dump big numbers on other marketing spec sheets.

ISPs FINALLY need to disclose all costs to consumers. Windows is adding MORE ads to the Start Menu. Adobe's "ethical" AI isn't THAT ethical. Google says goodbye to One VPN, but gives magic editor to ALL phones.
And it seems NO ONE wants Twitter's blue check these days.

I love this new era of MiniPCs and inexpensive laptops, but the folks at AceMagic seem to be struggling with their QA...

Is it as much of a bargain if you have to sort out issues with malware?

Google's update to their Find My Device network is a REALLY big deal! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/445
Apple has been holding this market hostage for almost a year now, but soon Android users will have access to new accessories and features to find phones, tablets, smartwatches, and other possessions.
Here's a quick look at the upgraded app, and some thoughts on what's to come!

thinker,

@SomeGadgetGuy Will it require android 15 or is it a feature they can push via Play Store?

SomeGadgetGuy,
@SomeGadgetGuy@techhub.social avatar

@thinker Well it's already working on phones running Android 14 now...

CHALLENGE! I'm not a big fan of wireless charging on smartphones, but my buddy Ricky is. We hosted a two-part debate to argue out what's the more convenient way to charge your phone!
https://youtu.be/VOnJcQjcjds?si=9wgmLeCHhSPpzPMq
Wireless charging vs FAST charging! What do YOU prefer?

thinker,

@SomeGadgetGuy I've not experienced either, only slow wired charging and super slow wireless charging.

I'd like a phone with both fast charging options for different situations.

For example it would be much easier at night just to have a wireless charger than fumble about looking for my cable. Whereas if I need to go somewhere in half an hour and want a fun battery, a super fast wired connection would be the better solution.

@thinker yeah. In North America, that's OnePlus and Moto.
