    Google is doing some weird shit with their photo processing

    I have a Pixel 7a. I’ve been using it since May 2023 and I’ve noticed selfies taken with this phone were a bit odd. In some pics it looks like I’m photoshopped into the scene rather than a natural photo. Today I think I pinned it down. It’s a combination of processing and Top Shot.…

    I finally ditched my Pixel 3 for the shiny new Pixel 7a. The switch came at a fortuitous time because I bricked my Pixel 3 by dropping it in a stream while hiking. It’s not the only reason I made the change. It so happened I purchased the Pixel 7 the day before I went…

  • Everything you need to know about 5G

    Her delivery is dry but the information is solid gold. If you’ve ever wondered how 5G technology works and if it’s safe this is the video to watch. I’ve been reading about 5G for a long time. I’m not afraid of the roll out of the new technology mainly because it’s not getting installed where…
