A mini PC with a NEW chip inside, but still available at a decently low price?!?!? AceMagic has the new Intel Core 3 in this system, but what corners did they cut to keep the price low? youtu.be/SICSdonFCkI #tech #technology #technews #windows11 #microsoft #gaming #review #video #youtube #pc #intel

REPLAY CREW! somegadgetguy.com/2026/10/19/s... The AI bubble seems to be bursting! Legislation might protect video game ownership! NVIDIA's new chip is getting reactions! And maybe you can learn a good storage lesson from my mistakes!

New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...
Been a nice run Microsoft. After fighting you (pretending to cancel my 365 account) to prevent an AI price hike, now you're watering down my favorite OneDrive perk. Instead of all my accounts having their own storage, we're supposed to pool our cloud needs now? Speeds up our move to network storage.

REPLAY CREW! somegadgetguy.com/2026/10/12/s... AI is SUPER unprofitable, and OpenAI was WAY off guessing on their revenue. NVIDIA halts 5090 sales. Sony gives up on VR, while we get closer to running PS5 games on PC. AND I STILL DONT HAVE A STEAM FRAME!

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.
All three Yandex AI supercomputers are reportedly offline: Galushkin in Vladimir, Chervonenkis and Lyapunov in Sasovo, whose data center shut down after the Oct 8 strike. Yandex Cloud outages also threaten thousands of Russian firms relying on it for websites, databases and payments 👏

Had a great time chatting with Darren and Jason on The Tech Disruptors Podcast! AI powered crying robots for people to abuse, bleeding edge mobile camera tech, folding phones, and Google Pixel deficiencies. Give it a listen! www.youtube.com/live/nYqOhIH...
In the same way that I might hold for an update on a phone brand I like, it's important to me, that I treat devices I don't like the same way. But before I really dig into the Pixel 11 Pro, we still gotta rant about the state of tech reviews for a minute... or eight... youtu.be/VH6TI6Hg1ns

Sure Sydney Sweeney. But if we're worried about controversy surrounding a sports BETTING app, wherever betting is legalized, we see a correlating rise in intimate partner violence, assault, and fatalities. Especially after a home team loses. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

What the rich learned from the 2008 housing crisis, was they could lean on the middle class and small businesses, and when in a crisis, those businesses and individuals fold, they can scoop up the remnants for pennies on the dollar. Guess what we're in store for again? youtu.be/u8iqKpVSRJg?...

Is the Pixel 11 already cooked, or are we just getting started? (early access on Patreon) www.patreon.com/SomeGadgetGu... I wanna share some early testing and reviewing, but I feel I should handle this phone the same way I handle phones I like. Even if that's a TERRIBLE business decision for me...

I talked about it on the podcast SIX years ago in this episode (skip to 41 minutes) somegadgetguy.com/2020/08/24/s... I held fast, and never bought a Meta product. No Quest. No Meta RayBans. Facebook is bad for everyone. Don't do business with them.
