All roads lead to MacBook Air.johnny@geektherapyradio.com

My quest for a capable, ultra-portable, content creation laptop is probably leading to a 2020 M1 MacBook Air...johnny@geektherapyradio.com

I just had my wisdom teeth removed, so bare with me as I discuss my thoughts on my DJI Osmo Pocket 3.Video version: https://youtu.be/W6o8SQoKXuwHMNS Beyond Bones Podcast: https://www.hmns.org/podcast/#dji

DJI Flip thoughts start at 26:30. The bulk of this episode is stream of consciousness on the beautiful shock of a geeky introvert raising kids :)johnny@geektherapyradio.com

I had a wonderful, vomit-y Thanksgiving. Now I'm tinkering with a Samsung Galaxy Book4 Snapdragon X Plus laptop.johnny@geektherapyradio.com

With the recent reveal of M4 MacBook Pro, etc, Apple continues to compare new generations of its "M" SoC to its original M1. Why?Also, I suspect a massive improvement to DJI Neo video quality settings is inbound. Here's why.Beyond Bones Podcast https://www.hmns.org/podcast/ :00 Intro8:33 M4 Thoughts21:36 DJI NEO Future Firmware Video Settings Thoughts

I finally bought a 14.6 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra...and uh...it is simply gargantuan. Here's my thoughts (@15:40)https://www.geektherapyradio.com/johnny@geektherapyradio.comBeyond Bones Podcasthttps://www.hmns.org/podcast/

I received my DJI Neo on September 30th, way before the October 6th relase date. Don't know why...but I'm not complaining! Here are my first impressions after testing!ABOUT NOISE REDUCTION:The first long portion is DJI Mics 2's built-in noise reduction + about 50% added in Davinice Resolve. Built-in NR helped with road noise, but wasn't enough.After the break (I'm at the daycare...") is the built-in NR of the mic alone.johnny@geektherapyradio.com

I'm putting the DJI Mics 2nd Gen through a pretty serious test and using the un-edited EQ profile straight out of the mic pack (they actually sound amazing...even with noise reduction applied in post) Also, I discuss the current conundrum facing the DJI Neo!Email: Johnny@geektherapyradio.com

I discuss my thoughts on DJI Mics in general and give my experience after crashing my Mavic 3 Pro.johnny@geektherapyradio.com

What does the future hold for Geek Therapy Radio after this final broadcast? https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

My HOA said I'm not allowed to build a beautful office shed that will increase value and curb appeal...so I want to park a giant eyesore on my driveway instead. A converted cargo van...https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

Pi 5 talk @ 8:55. I'm testing this new podcast format, so let's talk about the Raspberry Pi 5! https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

The U.S. Tik Tok "Ban" is just a thinly veiled attempt at a money grab. Your free speech doesn't matter if there's money to be made. https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

Why the Apple Car was cancelled and why I upgraded earlier than usual to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra https://www.geektherapyradio.com/* I meant the MODEL S was introduced in 2012 (Not X)0:00 Intro0:28 Apple Car Cancelled13:10 Current state of EV market26:41 Z Fold 4 Woes35:00 S24 Ultra #samsung #samsungs24ultra #apple #applecar

My Z Fold 4 is acting up...and that's got me thinking about the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra sooner than I typically do phone upgrades. https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

Yeah, I didn't mean that Apple "doesn't spend a dime on R&D", so let me clarify...https://www.geektherapyradio.com/Apple Statshttps://www.statista.com/statistics/273006/apple-expenses-for-research-and-development/

Many early VR adopters (Oculus, Quest, HTC Vive, etc...) might be skeptical if Apple can solve or overcome the VR hurdles we are very well aware of. Can Apple Vision Pro defeat the laws of physics?https://www.geektherapyradio.com/ Podcast available everywhere, search "Geek Therapy Radio Podcast"

In this podcast episode, I talk about how the sub-$1,000 Sony ZV-1 is above and beyond a simple point-and-shoot and has become a versatile, indispensable tool for run-n-gun videographers and content creators.https://www.geektherapyradio.com/Podcast available everywhereSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5iJUIsP6auDAENExRZM90w?si=624b4f683d51431fApple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/geek-therapy-radio-podcast/id1253075368Non-Affiliated links mentioned:Sony ZV-1 https://a.co/d/5K0aUdyNeewer photography roller bag https://a.co/d/1HsuANK

DeLorean hype has reached critical mass. There are now at least 3 "DeLoreans" in the works from 3 different "DeLorean" companies. This is heavy.https://delorean.com/https://www.classicdmc.com/DeLorean GTOhttps://youtube.com/shorts/3Dsa20dwHmg?si=IPFV7-YprwxA0rPlDeLorean Next Generationhttps://www.deloreannextgen.com/

At some point in the 3rd segment (19:11) I began to ponder my first car and some of the wacky things I did to it...

Starfield discussion starts ~ 16:50 (or a little past, depending on ads...), but before then, I offer a little insight and encouragement to those curious about starting their own podcast.Email: johnny@geektherapyradio.comWeb: https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

As digital artists, whether audio, graphic, or otherwise, sometimes the best thing we can do for our art is to go analog.Johnny@geektherapyradio.com

In segment 4 (@29:00 ish..) I dive into my current PC build...a power effecient but BALLER SFF PC "reasonable budget" gaming/workstation!The build:CPU: 65w TDP, 12 core/24 thread, Ryzen 9 5900GPU: 70w TDP RTX A2000 6GBRAM: 32GB 3600Mhz CL18NVME SSD: 2TB 5000r/5000wSATA SSD: 1TBMOBO: AsRock B550M ITX/ACPSU: 300w SFXCASE: Silverstone ML06-ECPU COOLER: Noctua NH-L9a AM45900 (65w TDP) vs 5900X (105w TDP) gaming benchmark video I mentionedhttps://youtu.be/KOv1PBngUcA

Despite being a major player in hybrid vehicles, Toyota has yet to fully plug into the EV marketplace. Recently, the automaker has made bold promises to mass produce solid state battery EVs within this decade that offer 745 miles of range and a full charge within 10 minutes...it almost sounds too good to be true...https://www.geektherapyradio.com/johnny@geektherapyradio.com

If you know of a USB Type-C or Thunderbolt dongle/hub that worksflawlessly between EVERY device you own (PC, Mac, Tablet, iPad, etc...) I'm all ears. So far I haven't found one. Only some that are "better" than others. There is usually some trade-off from device to device.This has been the "least bad" dongle I've used (not on Amazon anymore...) https://kit.co/dfrigerio/desk/kodlix-gn30h-usb-c-hhttps://www.geektherapyradio.com/johnny@geektherapyradio.com

Oh, and my A/C broke...and I'm too old for anything small and sexy...but Apple's Game Porting Toolkit is going to be a literal game changer. https://www.geektherapyradio.com/

Best Buy cancelled my Asus G18 order, so I bought the Gigabyte Aorus 17H...it SLAYS. Also, I talk about my Atari ST project, lament why I probably won't "git gud" at Street Fighter 6, and opine on why I think Star Trek Discovery might be my favorite over Picard...so far.Email: Johnny@geektherapyradio.comhttps://www.geektherapyradio.com/

Nvidia's intentional decpetion should be held accountable and cannot be allowed to continue. Team Green's mobile GPUs are outstanding in their own right, so why be so sneaky and dishonest?Email: Johnny@Geektherapyradio.comhttps://www.geektherapyradio.com/

We've been waiting for this since Nintendo Switch luanched in 2017...but it's finally here! Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance titles have come to the Switch Online Virtual Console!Also, I talk about my new beast-mode MSI GE77hx Raider workstation/gaming laptop and...well...space heaters too :)https://www.geektherapyradio.com/Email: johnny@geektherapyradio.comTut Tut, Now What?
