I kinda autopilot sharing stuff to Threads. I haven't really ever enjoyed using it, but I popped back in to check a few notifications today, and it's such a wasteland. The Facebook algorithm knows I'm a "nerd' and that I produce videos about gadgets, but the ENTIRE FEED they set up was basically the lowest effort engagement or rage bait.
Just a never ending list of:
"Should I switch to an Android?"
"Is this the year I leave and get an iPhone."
"Imagine meeting someone in 2026 and they use an ANDROID?!?!"
"DAE feel the keyboard on iphone sucks now?"
Just over and over and over, with the occasional sprinkling of an actual post from someone I really know.
I shouldn't be surprised. It's FB's MO to make people miserable and angry, which for SOME REASON keeps them doom-scrolling social media longer. They actually ran the science on that.
I guess I'm just continuously disappointed in how well it works.

A couple glamor shots of the new Maxwell 2 ANC gaming headset for your viewing pleasure. I like that gaming gear is looking a lot more "broadcast ready" these days and less "mountain dew fueled GAMER" style.

I've been recommending these "face displays" for years now. They are a great experience for travel and privacy. They work with almost every phone, tablet, laptop, or game console. They can get pricey though, so it's nice to see an option that streamlines the product at a more wallet friendly price.

She knows she's on the Ann Coulter "relevance downslide" and she's desperately trying to get ANY attention she can.
Literally ANY attention. Retweets, arguments, casual glances for the algorithms. She cant be shamed into behaving better. The only thing that hurts her is starving her of all attention and letting her slide into obscurity.

It's so messed up that I could probably sell my launch LCD Steam Deck for about what I paid for it brand new.
Maybe even make money on the sale if I wait a little.

Really Busy Bee At Work! (Vivo X300 Ultra)
Nice warm day, and the bees were at work. This little lady was busy, but was patient enough to let me snap this one pic from the Vivo.
2X crop from the telephoto sensor. "action mode" no edits.

If glasses really do become more popular with people who dont regularly wear glasses, I hope this finally encourages more options to help people find comfortable headphones while wearing glasses.

Oh yeah I remember those stories. Yet another example of how under-educated consumers were (and still are) on new tech.
The implementation where an Android can only send to an iPhone IF the iPhone owner enables "Receive from ANYBODY for 10 minutes" does a LOT of heavy lifting to reinforce the stigma that this is "unwanted" or "risky".

it's really frustrating right? I swear stuff like magic eraser and the Google keyboard are way worse than they used to be.
And at the same time, there are a bunch of little npu plugins and applets that are working great now. I wish we could more easily show people what was on device and what was cloud ai.

A little blurb from the article:
"Just like what happened with AirTags, Apple can create a situation where there’s a potential for abuse, and then make it look like Android products are the culprit. Apple messaging will make it sound like Apple is being forced to “let the dirty Androids in”, when in reality it’s us Android users welcoming iOS into the broader standard all devices should have supported for roughly 10 years now."

While Apple spends radically less on AI than any other tech brand, and is now partnered with Google to deliver a smarter Siri, will investors come around on Tim Cook's strategies?
The media criticized Apple's AI "floundering", but was Tim Cook really playing seven dimensional chess the whole time?

It's no joke when I say I've been waiting for this smartwatch for YEARS. I was a backer on the original Pebble and the Pebble Time, and I pre-ordered the original Pebble Time 2 back in 2018.
Eight years later, I FINALLY get to unbox this! I'm nothing if not VERY patient!

Huh. PR rep reached out about a sponsored video on my channel, but offered a rate WELL below what I charge. Their counter-offer was they could send me a SECOND unit of their product (MSRP well below my rate) and I can RUN A CONTEST with it, which would give them more exposure.
I can do three times the work for a small percentage of my rate!
Haven't seen that pitch in a long while...

2026-05-02 18:48:06 UTC

Seeing pals of mine sharing obvious rage bait from larger influencers, and acting like they're "calling those influencers out". Really you're just enriching them and advertising FOR THEM for free, so they'll keep making rage bait.
The only winning move is to block and ignore them.
Instead of "calling out" hack influencers, imagine what social media would be like if you shared a video you really liked and contributed to your hobby EVERY TIME you saw bad bait surging in popularity.
Like this banger from Hugh Jeffreys.
