April 04, 2022#SGGQA 247: E3 2022 Cancelled, XPERIA for eSports, OnePlus 10 Pro Reactions, iPhone Subscription Plans
We're back!
US Senators are asking for more scrutiny of the Microsoft acquisition of Activision. EU regulators are looking into strict new rules for tech giants. E3 is TOTALLY CANCELLED! Apple wants you to lease your next iPhone directly from them. PUBG chooses XPERIA for esports.
We've got a BUNCH of new phones to chat about, and MAYBE I still have some game codes to give away...
Let's get OUR tech week started right!

February 21, 2022#SGGQA 242: NFT Theft, Facebook Misled Investors, BlackBerry is Gone Again, No 45W Charging on the Galaxy S22?
A phishing exploit is robbing folks of their NFT’s. Facebook misled investors on their reaction to stemming the spread of misinformation. Blackberry is gone AGAIN.
And we ramble on about Samsung and advertising. What does it mean to “support” 45W charging?
Let’s get our tech week started right!

February 15, 2022#SGGQA 241: Apple AirTag Updates, NVIDIA Drops ARM, A Good Year for Galaxy Note Fans!
Apple is updating AirTags over fears of tracking and theft. NVIDIA's deal to acquire ARM is collapsing. Best Buy is forcing a club subscription to buy a GPU. Android 13 looks to be able to run virtualized OS (we can run Windows 11 from a phone). Valve is showing off the SteamDeck's curves in CAD files.
And we have to chat about what a good year this will be for Note fans!
Let's get our tech week started right!

February 08, 2022#SGGQA 240: Facebook in the EU, Snap is Profitable, Google Demoting Stadia, More Mac Malware
A tough week for Apple. More Mac Malware is being discussed by Microsoft. The Apple Podcasts App review score seems a little off. The EFF is publicly siding with Epic in the court of appeals and suing Apple for monopolistic practices. And, another flaw in iOS software is allowing security teams to crack into phones.
Also, Will Facebook leave the EU? Snap is finally profitable. Google is demoting Stadia.
And we have to ramble a LITTLE on OnePlus finding more success by ignoring enthusiasts!
