Taipei beckons me – and COMPUTEX will be my next destination! I’m heading back to Taiwan for one of my favorite shows of the year, as COMPUTEX brings a look at all the upcoming announcements from our favorite computing brands and names. There might even be some surprises this year 💻⌨️🎮🤖

Taipei is also just a fantastic place to experience, both in sights and bites. Look forward to posts from the city and on the show floor, as well as a vlog sharing my experience. Let me know what you’re excited to see at COMPUTEX and if there is anything you want me to check out! 🥟🍜🍵🧋

A video a long time coming -- it's been weeks since I got back from the trip, but it's been years since I've been wanting to try my hand at genuine travel content. Come hang out with me in this travel edition of Tech and Tea, as I give you a look at how I spent a week in Tokyo, Japan!

It's here! The first episode of ‪@TechnicallyThere‬ with me and ‪@JaimeRivera-Tech‬ interviewing Dr. Hon Pak from Samsung dives into the journey that the company has made toward creating full featured health trackers including smartwatches and rings. The conversation gives us a ton of insight into how Samsung approaches health and fitness while we discuss our own relationship with these kinds of devices. Come hang out with us and subscribe to the podcast to stick around!

Are we there yet? ‪@JaimeRivera-Tech‬ and I are set to bring you our new podcast, ‪@TechnicallyThere‬, an interview-based show where we discuss the past, present, and future of this world of tech we all love. Come subscribe to the channel so you know when new episodes come out. Join us as we learn how much we are Technically There!

Regarding the Video Boost portion of my latest video regarding the Pixel 9 Pro XL: I was alerted to an interesting quirk regarding how the Pixel saves the videos before and after boosting, which led to some confusion as to whether or not the 'non-boosted' video was actually what I recorded. Turns out, it's a low resolution 'cover' video that is just being used to preview the clip in Google Photos. 

It's a bit sneaky, I have to admit - why not let me keep both versions of the video properly for comparison? That said, the final boosted video is definitely a marked improvement, no matter what. It just might be a little less 1:1 of a comparison as presented in my video, given the weird file saving quirk.

Shouts out to @Quoutub for pointing that out. Always learning!

You can still come hang out with me and the Pixel 9 Pro XL in my latest Real World Camera Test!

Hey. It's been a while. I hope you've been well. I don't know if I missed you or not -- I think it's a bit of both.

This isn't a post about "New Year, New Me" -- I have had to start over in a lot of ways, though. This isn't a post about healing, but I have been trying.

This is just me. I don't know what's going to happen; but whatever it is, this is another of many first steps. Don't worry -- there will still be a lot of talking tech and a lot of drinking tea here. But most importantly, there will be more JV.

Check out the gaming headphones in my latest video, the Master & Dynamic MG20: https://bit.ly/MasterDynamicXJosh 
Alongside the Pixel 6, I also featured a dope pair of headphones -- Master & Dynamic are jumping into the gaming headset space with the MG20, a really versatile pair of headphones that I used for multiple scenarios. As a PC headset, the detachable mic came in handy for gaming and voice chat, while the same setup actually worked effectively on the Pixel for video calls. And with low latency audio across the board, gaming was good on desktop and mobile. Check out the headphones for yourself, and my video on Google's new flagship device.

A little while back I checked out a super affordable microphone that could greatly improve your sound in videos, streaming, and even video calls. If you haven't seen it yet, check out my overview of the Tonor TC30 here on the channel -- and to check out the mic for yourself, follow this link: https://bit.ly/JoshuaXTonor

Tonor and I are also giving a couple of these microphones away! Head over to my Twitter and Instagram, find my post about the TC30, and follow the instructions to enter.

My last video on a highly sought after gaming laptop went live: my thoughts on the ASUS Zephyrus G14! It might still be the best option for anyone that is looking for a small but powerful gaming PC that can do more than just game. Speaking of gaming, the video was brought to you in part by Ulti Arena, the NFT marketplace that is connecting games and game creators. Game devs and artists can put assets up on the marketplace and players can own pieces of their favorite digital memorabilia by purchasing or earning Ulti Tokens, including through Ulti Arena's own upcoming video game, Ultimate Battle Arena. Check it out for yourself at the link in my ASUS Zephyrus G14 video: https://youtu.be/kDLgww6QIuQ
