Sunday 22nd January - Go West

Gareth and Ted are joined by Ricky West to chat about Razer soundbar, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy Book 3, RedMagic 8 Pro, NixieX, Oppo Find N2 Flip, Atari Portfolio, OPPO AirVOOC and more With Gareth Myles and Ted Salmon Join us on Mewe RSS Link: https://techaddicts.libsyn.com/rss iTunes | Google Podcasts | Stitcher | Tunein | Spotify  Amazon | Pocket Casts | Castbox | PodHubUK Feedback and Contributions Ted’s Motorola Edge 30 Ultra Review - with Samsung’s ISOCELL HP1 1/1.22” (14mm) 200MP sensor ------------------ Matt Jones on Baofeng UV-5R …a cheap Chinese 2m/70cms FM transceiver. It's not a particularly good one, actually it's pretty poor in the grand scale of Radios, but it's not absolute garbage, and it does work as it's designed to. The thing that makes it iconic is the price. Where a Radio Amateur might have paid £300-£1000 for an equivalent product from a reputable manufacturer (Icon, Yeasu, Kenwood etc), I paid around £7 for this one from China (or £26 in the UK)! Which is astonishing when you consider this includes the Radio, Antenna, a Removable Li-ion Battery, two headsets, case, cradle dock and a charger. The reason these are popular with a lot of folks is that they can be easily programmed to use the Licence Free PMR446 frequencies, (although technically it's not legal to do so) so they are popular with off-roaders, paintballers, security companies etc. It’s a hell of alot of tech of £7 - and even works as a rechargeable torch! …therein followed a long thread in our MeWe Group as listeners compared their memories and various pieces of Ham Radio kit! ------------------ Harry Myhre (“My-ree”) Amazon’s New Home Internet Service Is One Step Closer to Becoming a Reality “Amazon plans to introduce home Internet service. Much like the starlink service. But I can see Amazon being able to offer more pricing bundles than Starlink”, says Harry. 3000 Satellites being launched into low-orbit! ----------------- -------------------- Hardline on the hardware New Razer soundbar uses AI-based head-tracking to beam audio directly to your ears Motorola’s upcoming budget phones are all but official in exhaustive leak Samsung unveils 200MP ISOCELL HP2 1/1.3” (12mm) camera sensor that's likely to appear in the Galaxy S23 Ultra Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Series launching 1st February Samsung Display shows off a new folding phone hinge that can rotate 360 degrees RedMagic 8 Pro goes official w/ Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, more Is Google about to kill Apple’s and Samsung’s Tags? - with 3 Billion User-Network NixieX Nixie tube clock and speaker Oppo Find N2 Flip: Global model discovered on Geekbench with MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset and 8 GB of RAM New Tech Can See People Through Walls Using WiFi The Name of the Game Stadia Bluetooth mode - but be sure to do it before the end of 2023! Flap your trap about an App Microsoft starts replacing Groove Music app with Windows 11 Media Player on Windows 10 OpenAI Chat - ChatGPT Creates Polymorphic Malware Google showcases TikTok's landscape mode on Android tablets Twitter’s new developer terms ban third-party clients ‘They’re 25, they don’t do emails’: is instant chat replacing the inbox? Chrome Corner Upcoming ChromeOS screen capture feature will make remote instruction even easier Google's Material You custom theme colours are on the way for Chromebooks Hark Back Think you’d better lead on this Gareth - nice to do a listener one…unless you already did it? Jeremy Harpham on the Atari Portfolio Retro computing... remember this? MS Dos based Psion 5 rival - kind of - I think it pre-dates the Psion by a fair bit. I've got expansion cards and at least a printer interface somewhere too. This was my late father's. I recollect him using the MS Word compatible word processor and the spreadsheet. I went the Psion way. Matt Jones …as seen on Terminator 2: Judgement Day 😎 Xerxes Hodivala  I so wanted one of these when they were released. I’d gone from an Atari 800XL to and Atari ST and I was massively keen on trying their mobile kit until I got swept up with Psion too!

In the latest pod, you chatted about installing solar cells over parking lots in France. Here in South Africa it is becoming the norm. Below is a picture taken at a large national chain. Part of the reason for the installation is the sometimes unreliable power supply. -------------- Ted’s Two Tier Triumph!

Chrome Corner Material You for Chromebooks just showed up in the Canary channel Soon, your Chromebook will make a fun sound when you plug it in Hark Back Player Piano or Pianola We had a friend up the road in the 1960’s when I was a kid who had one of these and I loved to just sit and pump those pedals! A time when so many people, including us, had a cheap second-hand upright piano in the house. The idea - great pianists played their tunes which were ‘recorded’ onto paper rolls and those who made the Piano Rolls of paper with holes in them, sold them to Joe Public and anyone with the Pianola could then slot the roll into their piano (with an opening hatch at the front so you could see turning it if you wanted to) replicate perfectly the performance as it was originally played. Some performers cheated with this and conned the listeners of course! I remember playing with the speed - so if you pedalled slower, it slowed down and the tones became deeper - speed up and vice-versa. As a 5 year-old boy, I was fascinated! How did they work? I shall try and uncover it before we record - take a principle like a music box cylinder perhaps and apply it to holes instead of twang-prongs?! Will look into it… Bargain Basement: Best UK deals and tech on sale we have spotted Anker Power Bank, 24,000mAh 3-Port Portable Charger with 140W Output £140 to £99 Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse - £39.99 Sony Xperia 5 Mk.IV - £799, reduced from £949 Sony Xperia 1 Mk.III - £699, reduced from £1,199 Fire HD 10 tablet - £80 or £16 a month Amazon Kindle - 20-30% all of ‘em and Months to pay (even for me)!
