The Galaxy XR runs Android XR with Gemini built in. According to Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at […]
Snapchat Down: Teen Pac Declares WAR!!!
The internet, or at least some parts of it is reportedly down after an AWS outage. Sites like snapchat and reddit reportedly went down although I was able to access reddit. As of time of writing, Snapchat is slow . I can access some of the ‘reels’ (including those terrible ads), stories, but messages will […]
Innovation, Cool Factor Are Dead And The Spy Toy Industry Killed It
As a society, I believe that we have lost the will for innovation. People claim that AI should be outlawed because of shoddy personal reasons, while companies continue to iterate with the same thing over and over again with no new, fresh ideas. You can see this not only in the phone industry, where […]
Why Does This Exist?
Hahahahahahaha what is this. hmd touch 4g HMD, the phone company known for the Nokia branding, making a ‘Barbie flip phone’ and also making this monstrosity that looks like a Pixel 9a stuck inside a box, released this phone, the HMD Touch 4G. This phone also has the same phone-in-a-box look but unlike having […]
Breaking: Grok Ai Seems Down
Grok AI, the xAI chatbot, seems to be down. As ChatGPT’s performance has been declining, I decided to use Grok to help me edit my latest article about an interesting new phone (stay tuned for that piece). However, the models would not load. I then sent a simple test message that said ‘Hi,’ and […]
Motorola Talkabout T800 Review
I reviewed the Motorola Talkabout walkie-talkies. These walkie-talkies have the usual features — push-to-talk communication and a built-in flashlight — but they also have one killer feature: they can chat over radio waves using your phone. The Talkabouts connect to an Android or iOS app via Bluetooth, which lets your phone act as […]
Zoom Enhance: Upscale Images On PC Offline!!!
Television shows often show pictures getting enhanced. Today I’ll show you how you can use free software to enhance blurry photographs—just like you’re on an SSALTW mission. Even better, this software is completely free and finally WORKS OFFLINE! No cloud needed. Thankfully, you don’t need any ridiculous command line tools, dependencies, or weird […]
How to Run AI Models Offline for Free on Windows
One of my great fears is an internet outage because of how much we rely on it today with the advent of cloud computing and web-based applications, as well as the phone system running off of VOIP and not POTS. An internet outage would send us back not to the 1980s but to the […]
One UI 8 BROKE Secure Folder
Red alert, guys! As a heavy user of Samsung’s core security feature, this just breaks my heart. Today I updated to the One UI 6 update and the September security patch, excited for a faster Galaxy AI screenshot, better security features, and hopefully better battery life. I was not expecting a core […]
Samsung, Don’t Fail Me When I Need You Most.
I like my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Despite my qualms about internet stagnation and the lack of good apps being developed, it’s a plenty powerful phone… when it wants to be. Now, for some reason, my battery life hasn’t been the best, so I always keep my phone in Power Saving Mode (but with […]
