My review of the TCL 40 NXTPAPER at Gizmodo Australia features (amongst many other details), blue lights, human cloning, Kirby, a guy called Dave and moody jazz.
I really have considered every angle… and then some.
A quick smartphone comparison! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/465
Pixel 8a vs OnePlus 12R! These might be the best two mid-ranger phones in the USA right now!
My #bookreview is brief/won't spoil, to spread good, great, & spectacular #horror#books far & wide.
💙📚 You may presume you'll know the story that unfolds in I THINK I'M ALONE NOW, but you'll be wrong as hell. I read this novella in a single sitting: Ali Seay has written a thoroughly enjoyable, vivid, violent, deliciously dark chunk o' horror set in the 80's that's, like, totally rad. (Grindhouse Press)
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!
if you enjoyed 'Shōgun' the 1st 3 'Shinobi' films may be of interest as they effectively function as a prequel + lots of ninja trickery: walking on water, flaming shuriken, climbing claws, sleeping gases, poisons, flash bombs, tatami mats...
my #film#review of the new Radiance #Bluray box set of 'Shinobi parts 1, 2, & 3' (1962–63) is published in Frame Rated:
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

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?
The sound design and graphical arrangement is minimal, the (often randomly chosen) texts are written greatly – they are highly poetic, beautiful, fey ...In „A row of chairs abandoned on the beach“, humans do consequently become coast, night, and sky – but the world is turned into a living, equitable, and vivid instance in return.
I have updated my iPad Pro to the 13-inch 512GB iPad Pro. I have compiled a bunch of information as well as my thoughts on the upgrade from my old 5th generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
A book I edited was written up in the local paper.
So happy to see Shannon Bohrer's book, Judicial Soup: One Man's Wrongful Conviction and What It Means for Criminal Justice Reform, getting some media attention. This is a very relatable book on a hugely important topic. When you read it, first you'll be angry. Then you'll think, "If it can happen to that guy, it can happen to anyone."

A phone from 2020, it's not just "not obsolete", it's still an actively competitive premium device today.
After 2 weeks of testing, #reading, and making my own #handcrafted#3dprinted case. Today I'm reviewing the #kobo Clara BW and Clara Color #ereaders, and seeing if it's better than my existing Nia, and #kindle.
