All Things Joey
Having a blog means having an opinion. This category groups reviews of technology, concerts, books, food – essentially all things consumable.
I was in Upstate New York and found myself in a Five Below. They are known for their cheap devices like charging cables and even earbuds. I wanted a spare set of buds for my gym bag, and thought “why not”?
In this video I compare the “Bass Jaxx Classic True Wireless” earbuds and “ByTech Extreme Wireless” earbuds. Let’s just say they have very different results.
The good news is you can get a functional pair of wireless earbuds for $8!
I recently stayed at a nice vacation rental near the Finger Lakes, but it had a fly problem. I tried to buy a bug-a-salt, but the local Walmart didn’t have any in stock. They DID have a cheaper salt shotgun called the Bug Hunter.
This video shows the device in action and I share my thoughts on the Bug Hunter compared to the original Bug-a-Salt.
Sony announced the arrival of the ZV-E1 vlogging camera at the end of March and enthusiasts are excited. Featuring the same full frame sensor as the FX3 and the A7S3, the device should have fantastic image quality.
Couple that with a nex-gen AI chip to help with focus and subject detection and this camera really could be a game changer.
After my review of the Panasonic Arc5, several commentors suggested I give a safety razor a try. I figured I didn’t have anything to lose.
While the safety razor does have some challenges (fair warning, I do bleed a bit in this video), I have had less in-grown and other bumps on my face.
I went hard on the Viking line of shaving products, no particular reason, maybe better search optimization on Amazon? (LOL).
I am very grateful for the suggestions on the previous video, thanks for the recommendations!
ChatGPT is making headlines and terrifying educators.
The headlines made me curious so I created an account.
First, if you are worried that this is going to replace journalists or write your kid’s school essays, I wouldn’t lose any sleep. Second, the bot is only loaded with information through 2021 and it tends to get many details wrong. You need to fact check almost everything it spits out.
I used the bot to help me write an article about all of the tech company layoffs, and it literally got every fact wrong.
Most importantly, ChatGPT thrives in the creation of basic scripts and models. Information that has been readily available and has multiple sources appears effortlessly. It can make simple lists and scripts quickly (see video), which is a great supplement.
In this post, you will see how I used the bot to craft blog posts. While the format was good, I had to research and re-write all the actual facts.
