Initial lengthy review of Nvidia Shield Pro from someone who's never owned one.

#Why Shield

I have owned Chromecasts (Gen 3), Rokus (Streaming Stick+), Amazon Fire sticks etc in the past but decided to try the Nvidia Shield in hopes of simplifying the setup and improving the overall experience. I regularly have babysitters over so needed something easy to use and Chromecast isn't easy or reliable enough on its own. My Chromecast Gen 3 was acting up so I figured it'd be better to invest in the best and give away my Roku. I obviously haven't had time to test everything but f...

Just a PSA: if you have Amazon installed, make sure its not chewing through your data! It used almost a whole gigabyte of mobile data on my phone in the background.

I don't watch videos on Amazon or anything of the sort. I use Google fi, so i try to watch my data usage bc I like to make my bill as cheap as possible. I have turned background/mobile data off for Amazon to see if that helps....

Pixel 4 review from a longtime iPhone user. No bashing of any brands or OS!

Needed a workphone line, and my work is all Chromebooks and google based, so decided to get a Pixel 4. My personal use phone is an iPhone Xr. I've been iOS since the 5. The setup of the Pixel was super simple. everything I needed from my iPhone transferred to the pixel in minutes. Phone and apps updated, and everything was a go in literally less than a 1/2 hour. Facial recognition works really well. Too well. I sit down near my phone and it unlocks! That's not a huge problem for me, I don't have...

Pixel 4 supports display out through USB C but Google intentionally disabled it

There has been a lot of talk about the hidden desktop mode for Android. I was wondering if Google Pixel 4 supported display out but many people have stated that it doesn't. Hardware wise, it does but for some reason unlike everyone else who supports it through hardware, Google intentionally disabled it. Wasn't sure if anyone was aware of this so I just wanted to bring attention to this with the hope of getting the attention of someone at Google to enable it. The funny thing is almost all flagshi...

Xiaomi Mi A3 - Definition of disappointing phone

This is going to be a hard review because I really wanted to like it, but that's just impossible when looking at alternatives.

The good:

\- Looks beautiful.

\- Snapdragon 665 is plenty fast for everything.

\- Amoled screen (you can skip this mark because everything else about the display is terrible).

\- Fast updates.

\- Speaker is loud and doesn't distort much on high volume.

Sadly that's where it ends,

The bad:

\- In-display fingerprint is just horrific to use, it gets my fingerprint ...
