I’ll once again be talking tech with Jo Printz on ABC Radio Shepparton at around 8:50am this morning — tune in if you’re local, or listen live online! www.abc.net.au/listen/live/...

Samsung AU just announced pricing on the Micro RGB R95 version of this TV. Yours for just $42,999. Don't think my budget can quite stretch to that...

Had some thoughts stewing about Xbox that I needed to put into words. Been kicking this around for a bit, but god they're so fucking pointless.

115 inches is a LOT of TV. Turns out, Samsung wants a LOT of money for it. So is the 115 inch 4K QN90F worth it? I only had a couple of hours to test it. Here’s my hands-on video review! #TV #Samsung alexreviewstech.com/samsung-qn90...

Had a great time being a guest on Download This Show on ABC Radio National this week talking everything from AWS outages to phone slowdowns and a whole lot more. It’s on ABC Radio National from 8pm tonight (and online thereafter at this link), so give it a listen! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Today’s review is a little different. If only because I’ve never kicked sand in the face of a product before as part of my testing regime. Maybe that should become a standard thing I do… ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-R...

Now *this* weekend. Get to supporting!

While I’ve been testing out the iPhone 17 Pro, I’ve also been testing the less expensive Apple iPhone 17. Nobody would call it “cheap”, but it’s the iPhone that I recommend you buy this year. Here’s why. #Apple #iPhone17 #Smartphones #iOS26 alexreviewstech.com/apple-iphone...

Time for not one, but two fresh reviews! First up, Apple’s pricey (and premium) Apple iPhone 17 Pro. Can it live up to Apple’s hefty asking price? #Apple #iPhone17Pro #Smartphones #iOS26 alexreviewstech.com/apple-iphone...

Time for me to don my nerd hat… no, wait, this isn’t MY nerd hat, it’s somebody else’s, as I review Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit! #AngryVideoGameNerd #RetroGaming #Gaming ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-R...

Over at Digitally Downloaded, I’ve reviewed Ball x Pit, a game I would review in just two words if the editor there would let me. He wanted more, so I wrote a few more about one of the year’s best games — go check it out! #BallxPit #Gaming www.digitallydownloaded.net/2025/10/revi...

Just enough time to sneak out one last review (written and video) for the week as I test out the Nothing Ear (3) Headphones… with a little help from Jabberwocky. #Headphones #NothingEar3 ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-R...

Next weekend, some guy I'm often mistaken for willl be doing the 28km 7 Bridges Walk to help raise funds to assist with Cancer research. I'm supporting him -- and you should too! #Cancer #Australia #Charity www.7bridgeswalk.com.au/fundraisers/...

Just got reminded of the time (now a couple of years ago) when I rather stupidly decided to review some $2 AirPod clones. My ears still regret the experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OSl...

REMINDER: This feed is pure joy. Silly, and pure joy. And brilliantly executed.

Truth be told, I always found Breakout kind of dull. So a game that’s best described as “Breakout, but more” might not tickle my fancy. But Ball x Pit does, and so very very much. Here’s my full video review! #Gaming #BallxPit alexreviewstech.com/ball-x-pit-r...

Fresh review time, as I’ve had the Google Pixel Watch 4 strapped to my wrist for the past couple of weeks. While it’s not a radical reinvention of Google’s approach to smart time pieces, it is rather nice… #PixelWatch4 #Smartwatch #Google ko-fi.com/post/Fresh-r...

Reminder: It’s a little under two weeks until Bandanna Day (though I wear them often, every day *can* be Bandanna Day if you want it to be). #Canteen #Cancer #Australia shop.bandannaday.org.au/shop/

Doing a couple of radio spots this morning led me to researching and thinking a lot about the Australian Social Media Ban. I don’t think regulation itself is a bad idea, but this is a poor implementation in my view. Here’s my take. #Australia #SocialMedia alexreviewstech.com/will-the-und...

Meg and her son Lyndon together are the Michael Jordan of covering indies at PAX Aus, a generational family work ethic. Incredible stuff. Commission Meg now, I know from first hand experience that she can write compellingly about any one of these 150 (!!!) games.

Time (once again) for me to submit to our future robot AI overlords -- this time, in robot vacuum/mop form! Here's my video and written review of the Narwal Flow! #AI #RobotVacuum #Narwal ko-fi.com/post/Narwal-...

At #PAXAUS 2025, I interviewed a bunch of local game devs about their upcoming titles. First cab (or in this case, cat) off the rank: Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar by Abandoned Sheep: youtu.be/Y9NCe7zJupU

I did attempt a livestream from #PAXAUS of the classic gaming area earlier... and it hit technical issues (to put it mildly). So I've re-edited it and added BONUS #retrogaming content for a not-quite-livestream. Enjoy! youtu.be/RNQ-jVEftVI?...

Will be at #PAXAus tomorrow. Currently sorting out my schedule (and trying to work out if I'm overworking myself... again). But if you see me, say hello. Or don't, up to you I suppose.

Quick video time, as I test out the #powerbeatsfit at #Parkrun. Can they survive the 5km? Can I? youtube.com/shorts/iQqry...

I’ll be talking AI, and its use for finding lost pets with Jess McGuire on ABC NSW Drive around 4:20pm this afternoon — tune in! www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Went the extra mile -- or in this case the extra 5km -- as I start testing out the Nothing Ear (3) headphones with a 5km run test. Note: May contain traces of sweaty me. You have been warned. ko-fi.com/post/Quick-R...

Quick unboxing time… but as it turns out, I have Nothing to unbox… ko-fi.com/post/Unboxin...

This. SO VERY MUCH THIS.

Xiaomi is a HUGE brand… but historically, it’s only been available in dribs and drabs in Australia. That’s changed overnight, with the parent brand launching a lot of phones, tablets, wearables and… well, let’s just say it’s a LOT. ko-fi.com/Post/Xiaomi-...
