Notes for Tech Time Episode 1

1:05

Google continues to track you through services like Google Maps, weather updates, and browser searches — any app activity can be used to track you.

By turning off Location History, you’re only stopping Google from adding your movements to its Timeline feature, which visually logs where you’ve been.

But there is a way to get Google to actually stop tracking you: by digging through settings to turn off “Web and App Activity.”

Tech companies make money by tracking us.

Are all of these features worth your privacy? (Zuckerberg tapes his camera)

Companies know more about you than you think.

Magic Leap Specs and Reviews

Augmented reality goggles.

2.3 billion and 8 years… still haven’t released goggles.

Pre-order $2300 ( you could buy 2 Iphone X’s with change to spare)

Reviews pretty mixed.  Seems to be geared towards developers.

How does it compare with microsoft’s holo lens?

Talk about pokemon go (Santa Monica water pokemon)

Pixel 3 Leaks

Apparently it has a very small battery for the screen size

Android P has ‘machine learning’ based battery optimization and chipsets become ever more efficient, but apps and games also become ever more demanding

Galaxy Note 9 has a 4000mAh battery tmah (Large Pixel 3 @ 6.7 Inches is only  3,430mAh)

Battery life is my most important factor

 

19:55 Note 9 Release (Crazy Price)

128GB of storage in the standard model, a little bit of artificial intelligence, and a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen you can use as a remote control.

Tesla Stock YoYo

1000 bucks. (Same as iphone X).  More expensive than the Pixel 2 XL ($849)

Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor (or Exynos 9 if you’re outside the US),

a whopping 4,000mAh battery

6 GB of Ram (That’s almost as much as my 1800 dollar new mac book pro)

I like the curved glass. I don’t think I’d use the stylus
