“At first glance, the Microsoft Surface Duo looks extremely similar to the Nintendo 3DS without the buttons or D-pad. It’s always difficult to look at technology that “flips” and not immediately go back in time to the days of flip phones or flip consoles. This particular tablet from Microsoft didn’t bother trying to be a “bendable screen” – which is fine in my opinion, the technology is somewhat gimmicky and it likely affects the longevity of the device. This review from Windows Central covers the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Microsoft Surface Duo, take a look:”

“The two big beasts competing for users in 2021 are the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra vs iPhone 12 Pro Max. Over at Unboxing Therapy, they put together an excellent comparison of the two smartphones. Me? As I continue to age I’m getting more and more interested in a flip phone, or perhaps a pager. Yeah, no. That would probably last for about two weeks of withdrawal – then I’d go right back to it. Check it out!”

“Virtual Reality is an interesting platform that draws all sorts of unique people. The personality types you encounter are sure entertain and interest you. I am one of those who doesn’t do much in the way of “social interacting” in Virtual Reality. My personal experiences in Virtual Reality are generally spent in hours of Skyrim VR or Super Hot VR shooting and / or killing NPCs throughout the night. This video made me wonder if I would ever go “social” on Virtual Reality, how about you? Take a look, this video is from Thrillseeker”

“As the world prepares for Ready Player One’s universe… and is still quite a ways out from Ready Player Two’s universe… haptic suits such as the TeslaSuit are becoming increasingly popular. Vendors are trying to create newer, more creative forms of feedback for users interacting in a virtual world. In this video put together by ThrillSeeker, he demonstrates a haptic suit that actually lets the player FEEL the rain inside the VR environment, take a look!”

“Do all builds go as planned? Absolutely not. Linus at Linus Tech Tips went through tremendous trouble to show how to build a complete PC using the popular commerce platform Wish.com. This particular build shows a common issue many computer builders run into, hardware that doesn’t quite fit or match up to what was described or should be. When issues like this happen you can learn to be flexible and creative in how to make things “fit”. Take a look at this full lesson:”

“There are many gimmicks out on how to “speed up” your internet connection for free.

“It’s awkward watching this video as I realize I’ve used every single operating system on the list. I don’t know whether to feel old or impressed by the sheer volume of operating systems released within the past 36 years. For the younglings in the crowd, you might find value and entertainment by installing these operating systems on a virtual environment right on top of Windows 10. Then, at least, you’ll appreciate how awful it was to work with computers as they evolved. This video by ThioJoe covers the 7 worst operating systems ever along with explanations, enjoy!”

“The Boston Dynamics robots are an incredible evolution to watch over time. This company’s done a tremendous job pushing the envelope of robot development. Although we are far away from the dystopian nightmare robots of James Cameron’s future, we have to start somewhere, right? Of course, I’m not wishing the end of all mankind on everyone, my cynical view of AI and robotics stem heavily from watching too many movies and reading too many books. Take a look at the evolution of these incredible robots by Boston Dynamics presented by Pro Robots.”

“There are robots… and then there are ROBOTS. As robotics, artificial intelligence, and Skynet continue to develop – most of us are waiting cynically for the apocalypse or dystopian nightmare of the future. Those dark images aside, it doesn’t mean we cannot have fun in the meantime, right? Well, China had quit the showing in 2020 of robots. This video from PRO ROBOTS on YouTube covers some of the coolest robots from China in 2020 at the CIFTIS 2020 conference.”

“Many rely on 3rd party software utilities (that sometimes come with spyware or malware) to lock the folders on their Windows 10 operating system. There is a better way. This tutorial by WindowsChimp shows how to use a batch file to generate a password protected folder. This particular folder will then require a password for entry into the folder. This is an excellent way to password protect folders within Windows 10 without using any”
