  • Review: Hogtalare Hi-Fi Wireless Bluetooth Speaker offers incredible performance but comes...

    Looks interesting.

    It would be nice if there were an option to be able use two of these speakers for real left/right channel stereo separation with space between the speakers. 

    12” between the tweeters and a shared 6” woofer aren’t going to give you much of a soundstage.

    As it is, and with other speakers of this kind, it’s sort of “giant mono”, not true stereo. Oh 

    Reading is fundamental. 

    “ If you purchase two speakers, you can pair them together for stereo sound, ”

  • Apple investigating reinforced plastic as case material for future Apple Watch

    Hey, lighter is better when you're trying to measure heart rate and don't want bouncing around.

  • Galaxy Z Flip is Samsung's second try at foldable smartphones

    The only pluses I see is 1) you wouldn't need to add an ugly case, or screen protector, as the screen is naturally protected when folded, although some may like external scratch protection. Also, 2) it stands up by itself. Both of these pluses are quite tiny, at least for me.
    Ah, I remember not having to carry my phone around in a lint-filled case.  And I like the idea of better pocket-ability.  My XR is borderline too big in my pocket.  But, I've tried Android and am not interested in trying it again.

  • French fine Apple $27 million for battery patch that could slow down old iPhones

    You guys are pathetic.  Apple cut performance by more than 50% and didn't bother telling anyone, and yet in Apple stores customers were told their batteries were fine, even refusing to provide paid replacements, and were encouraged to purchase new phones.  This is fraud, and the prosecutor's conclusion is uncontested by Apple.  You can love their products, as I do, without wearing blinders.

  • Apple working on folding iPhone display with more robust bend radius

    I think I'd almost prefer 2 edge-to-edge displays over a single, large folding display.  You can have glass covers instead of scratchy plastic, and you don't have the screen fold to worry about.  iOS could treat it like a dual monitor setup and run full screen versions of two apps.  The bezels would be so small I'm not sure I would be bothered.  The only disadvantage is not being able to display a large web page or document without the bezels getting in the way; but after all, it's a phone.  I have far more use cases for 2 separate apps than editing a large document.
