In this Weeks Segment for KMSB Fox 11, We feature the latest Smartphone Technology from Samsung with the All New Samsung Galaxy S10. Samsung recently launched three new devices under the S10 line, the Samsung Galaxy S10E, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy S10, sent to us by Verizon Wireless, is loaded with some great new features. The Screen is amazing, one of the brightest screens we’ve have seen., The Home Button is gone instead you control the phone with gestures. The Samsung Galaxy S10 we are looking at, it has four lenses for really capturing the perfect moment!

Two 12mp lenses are on the rear of the Samsung Galaxy S10. One telephoto, one wide angle and a 16mp Ultra Wide. For the forward camera users will find a 10mp selfie camera, in all this equates to some stunning photos in just about any condition, and video fares just as good with 4K 60fps.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 “Super Steady” feature gives you much smoother videos, even with action videos. One of the features we really love is wireless charging with Wireless Power Share, friend low on power which is wireless charging capable? Hook them together, by laying them on one another and charge your friends device! It can even work with Galaxy Buds or Smart Watch!

The Battery is 3400 mAh which is rated to get you all day use based of course on your use!

Testing out the Logitech 4K BRIO Desktop Camera

We are impressed! Logitech sent us over the Logitech 4K BRIO Pro Desktop Camera to test out and feature on our KMSB Fox 11 Segment. It will be difficult to be able to show all the features of the BRIO on our segment so we decided to through a demo here on the TechtalkRadio Website. I will start off noting the very first feature to notice out of the box is the elimination on the hard wired USB cable to the webcam. Over the years we have only had it happen a couple of times but a cord could get damaged and then, that was pretty much it for that camera (yes, we know there are videos on the web on correcting this.) The Camera is connected via a USB C type connection to USB, a long cable is provided for that and can be completely disconnected if need be. Strong Sturdy construction on the base can affix the BRIO snugly to the top of a monitor or to a portable tripod. After download the free Logitech Capture Software from the website, we find so many neat features to use. Rather then run down a list we decided to use the camera itself to show these features on the fly. The BRIO also features a Privacy shutter and nice carrying bag for the cable and BRIO.

We will post our segment from KMSB on Monday but hope you are able to get a better view of the Logitech 4K Pro BRIO with this video!

Now for Something Completely Different! New Show Posted!

TechtalkRadio – And Now for Something Completely Different

In this TechtalkRadio Episode, Justin and Andy begin with a discussion of Monty Pythons Flying Circus and how Netflix has added the shows to its library of entertainment. New shows such as Sam Esmail’s “Homecoming” and the return of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to Amazon Prime are discussed.

Justin and Andy talk about Repairing PC’s and Macs with Today’s Technology. Where can a consumer have a Mac-book repaired? The only solution in most cases for warranty and parts would be through an Apple Certified Repair shop. Not all is rosy with today’s Windows based laptops as many manufacturers have taken away user serviceable areas such as hard drives, memory and even batteries. What are the benefits of building your own PC? Can building your own still be done and which could be more expensive? Local Shops to Tucson like SWS and NOS Computers are great, Justin also recommends the PC Part Picker Website. Are Add-On Sound Cards still required?

Friend of the show, Mitch Goldstone from ScanMyPhotos.Com visits with TechtalkRadio to talk about the service available from the company. Protecting the photos and film from years past is a process made extremely easy with the services of the highly reviewed ScanMyPhotos.Com.  Mitch shares stories of photos which have been preserved in the digital format and why this is also a great gift idea for the holiday season. Technology has advanced the process over the years and in many cases Same Day Scanning is available. This can be great for memorial services or special events. Mitch talks about ScanMyPhotos and why the company takes great pride preserving these images.

Powering a Computer, Do you turn your computer off every night? Is the proper fix for a computer to basically, Turn it off and Turn it on? The guys discuss the idea of rebooting for solving problems. Justin talks about running multiple Operating Systems as a Virtual PC with VMware.

Justin talks about a game called GameDevTycoon from GreenHeart Games. Website of the Week is a look at a product that only because of the Internet could become huge, The Nose Warmer. Don’t Sneeze. The Website is at NoseWarmer.Com
