Hello gorgeous peeps and welcome to another bowl blitz in the brilliant episode of expert weekly, the only weekly tech news show that stuffs a grapefruit down its pants, to impress the ladies and yet still ends the night all alone, with slightly sticky plums. I actually just realized a couple of days ago. It's been three full years since I started at this textbook channel and made YouTube that little. Unfortunately, while it is some sort of cause for celebration, I can't find my party hat, and I've run out of little potty popper things. So here's some repurposed footage from when I hit half a million subs suck my chubby now before you actually plunge fetus first into the Shaw, proper, full disclosure. I actually had to shoot this show mid-week this time around because and get this.
I actually left expert towers this week and enjoyed a civilized afternoon of drinking at a brewery with other people who I knew absolutely wild times and best of all, it was actually a press event, so I didn't have to pay for any of the booze that I poured to dumb. Furthermore, I thought it was the whole reason I got into this whole tech journalism shenanigan in the first place, so yeah apologies. It is a slightly shorter news roundup this week and if anything, wild and crazy happens on Thursday, like Bill Gates, went on live TV to announce that all this time he's actually been Cthulhu in disguise and then all of a sudden, all the Windows 10 PCs and laptops around the world exploded in spontaneous flames. Well, the whole reason I haven't mentioned it on this show is because I was filling my boots so anyway, that's enough waffle, uh, jingly, jingly, expert weekly. So this week's big news was the Google I o shenanigans yet another huge tech event that was reduced to a virtual online stream thing, which at least means you can watch it in the buff while drinking your favorite single malt and distract yourself during the boring bits by looking up educational content on the internet, we saw a first glimpse of android 12, which is now available for devs to download in beta form on just a handful of supported phones.
This mostly shakes up the theme of Google's OS with the unified material design running through the whole system and eventually stretch into apps as well as usual. A big talking point was privacy, so you'll be able to see more clearly, which apps are spying on your activities and shut. Those cheeky moos down in an instant google also announced a long overdue shake-up of Wear OS, courtesy of a very smart collaboration with Samsung creator of the brilliant ti zen OS. This promises the best of both worlds' affair. Like a kebab pizza, you got your kebab.
You got your pizza individually, pretty good, but together a masterpiece, apps will allegedly load. Faster transitions will be smoother than a buttered up. Barry white, and this is the big one. Google reckons that battery life will be much improved, so you watch one dive faster than a horny teenager in a slasher flick and also at Google I or 2021 uh. Well, this kind of happens.
I mean I think it's supposed to have something to do with machine learning. But frankly, it just looks like those Google guys have been spending their hard-earned bucks on the wrong kind of brownies. There's I mean there's just not enough whiskey in the world to make this anywhere near all right in my skull and Google took the opportunity to announce tons of other little updates and improvements as well. So, for instance, maps is going to have more AI built in there as well. So we can show you more relevant stuff based on things like the time of the day, your location and your uh daily habits.
Basically, so in the morning, for instance, I'll show you like caf?s and pastry shops and in the evening there'll be boozers and nightclubs for myself, no matter what the time of day it'll, probably just automatically lead me in the direction of the nearest weather spoons. There was also lots of security-based shenanigans, just so much stuff. I can't even begin to list it all, but if you need to know more, Google's done a very good blog page for its Io 2021 stuff, so go check that out I'll, try and remember to stick a link to it. In the description below- but I probably won't so don't even bother looking actually and also this week, the Poco m3 pro 5g was launched globally. Yippee hooray, another budget 5g phone, offering very similar specs to the Redmi Note, 10 5g, including mediated dimensionally 700 chipsets you've got a full HD IPS screen with 90hz refresh support a 5, 000 William battery and a choice of three colors, including a bright yellow one.
That kind of looks like one of those cartoon minion guys after an unfortunate encounter with a steamroller, full unboxing and review, inevitably coming at your face hauls real soon, and that's it for the news. As far as I'm aware at the time that I'm shooting this video, so now it's time for the part of the show, regrettably, that radio times healed as the second-worst thing on the internet right after the Jim's cordon official fan page. It's fewer comments, fewer comments. First up David says today's video is sponsored by rage, shadow chugging JD from the bottle goodbye. JD action do love it.
Simon says: when is Jack Daniel's? Actually sponsoring yeah? I mean I've got to say. I have fundamentally failed when it comes to the sponsorship opportunities here on textbook I get loads of offers every single week I get offers from VPNs and other stuff, like that. You know tech, stuff uh, but you know when it comes to booze sponsorships, absolutely not even a sniff. What I need is distilleries offering me creator the good stuff to pimp right here on the channel. You know- and you know I would feature it.
You know I'd- be sat here, drinking whatever it is right now on camera. Getting maximum screen. Time is getting to the point where I'm seriously starting to consider setting a booze spurt and just basically spending the rest of my days, drinking alcohol and going yeah. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one and Barry says I'm currently on a liter bottle of Jim bean, because I'm a cheap but come on it all achieves the same ends, not a very true Barry.
I mean it all basically ends up splashing the porcelain one way or another so screw it. Uh steeple ROG says the leaving Las Vegas. Vibe is an act, I'm hoping a fantastic film and yeah good news. I've calmed down this week quite considerably uh, mostly because we only had two dozen pissing laptops all launching on the same frigging deer, hooray, uh, Jim smart, says: if you're a mentalist, then so am I it must be our generation of talking, bollocks and loving it as life is too serious. Yeah, far too serious agreed.
So nothing like a hearty dose of bollocks just to make everything that a little better uh ?tienne says no dig at cordon or Mrs brown's boys, and only the one, your mum joke this week, Christ, it must have been a rough one yeah. You know it. I've actually just had the really horrible thought of jams Borden, Gaston in an episode of Mrs brown's voice as well ugh like the one way to make that charisma, even more appetizer it'll, be like taking a sandwich and then adding a healthy dollop of horse jazz. Now, next up Davis, the wolf says: imagine a Sony press conference and expert gets to truly test the waterproofing with a good bit of anime uh yeah. That would probably be my last ever Sony press conference.
Although I haven't said that I've been on various press trips in my time as a tech, journalist, YouTube and uh I got a say it. The most carnage always seems to happen on the Sony efforts, especially where the likes of uh CES in Las Vegas was involved. I won't go into any details to uh to avoid Newman and shimmy and all that stuff, but yeah some of those got pretty full on, although I'm not talking to the level of like burying hookers in the desert or anything like that, they weren't quite that yeah yeah uh anyway, next uh dun unboxes, say soy Chris. If you like anime that much I'm surprised you haven't got into the K-pop game yet come join and be immersed. In the group known as dreamcatcher yeah, I mean I was subjected to K-pop quite relentlessly during my time in South Korea, it's been about two or three weeks there, um back in the day I have to admit my enjoyment of K-pop is directly related to how much height beer and rice wine I've pulled down my throat.
Let's look these guys up dream catcher yeah, I mean it looks like your standard. K-Pop group, um they've, already understood why every single K-pop group has to have at least like a dozen members in it, and clearly it's you know, I'm not into it at all. So I just purely do not understand, but even like back in the day likes of s club, seven that seemed excessive, having seven people to literally just prance about the place and gun at the camera. Surely all you need there is Rachel, just scrap the rest of them straight off the bat anyway, I can't play any uh. A few lovely lots, unfortunately, because of the YouTube copyright laws, but I'll give it a bit of a go see what they sound like yeah, it's a good bouncy little bop to be fair um, although, if anyone's into their metal, then definitely check out the queen band monsters.
Dive they've only got a couple of albums out, but a nice good sort of melodic metal anyway, better crack on um next uh. Sorry, if I completely mold the pronunciation- and that says watching this guy for anime wallpaper and what's your Instagram man um, I couldn't even tell you I am signed up for Instagram. I've literally got one photo on there from. I think it was like a Lego event from about five years ago. Furthermore, I'll be honest, it's not for me because, like every time we go on press events, and it's you know if it's a nice location like Qualcomm did one in Hawaii every December, the snapdragon launch immediately.
Everyone would just be on the beach taking the selfies with the waves in the background post-it on it's going to be the same. Frigging photo like 20 30 times, and let's face it, I ain't got. You know the long flowing locks, the youthful complexion, any of that stuff. I'm a bald pill. Northerner.
I know my place. Furthermore, I'm staying well off the instar. If you are interested in the social media side of things, you can occasionally find me on Twitter just swearing about stuff in general. Uh, that's pretty much the full extent of my social media lifestyle next to pug wash says I never understood anime a friend introduced me and I found the spouse dubbed vocals inaccessible, uh yeah. That would probably be a bit of a struggle, but I mean the great thing about anime is even if you don't understand the words that are coming out of the character's mouths chances are.
It won't make any difference anyway, because the plots are absolutely bonkers. Batch insane, they're nuttier than squirrel knuckles, not sack, Leonardo says I still on the subject of anime. I watched the first three episodes of stein's gear and I thought it was crap lol, yeah, no fair play, certainly not for everyone, uh, so yeah. The first couple of episodes is probably just like what the entire reaction to everything that's happening is just what yeah I decided to stick with it. I got.
I really got into it in the end, but yeah, I'm a man of simple tastes. Those simple tastes being booze and ridiculous. Sci-Fi time travel plots uh next up, uh GMV, says idea: every week cover one new anime for just one minute or something new or something old, I mean I do kind of get the feeling that I bang on the button a bit far too much already, certainly in textbook weekly plus it is also like these days. I have so little time to watch anime. It literally takes me like a month just to cover a short series, so I'd probably run out of anime pretty quick, but one day I will start anime expert.
It's its on the list. Furthermore, it's on the list of to do behind just go out to every pub in the UK and do that again I'll. Tell you what I have just finished, though, that I really enjoyed if you've got Amazon. Prime video check out invincible on their just looks like your bog-standard, 90s, superhero cartoon don't be put off by that at all. I was told just watch it see what you think and by the end of the first episode I was like.
Oh, yeah. I know this is this. Is some crazy? Definitely a good one uh based on some graphic novels, which I haven't read yet, but I'm gonna definitely stick those on the list as well. Uh next up Yukon, says yes living the life of a tech. Reviewer is a damn hard one uh yeah I get the feeling you might be seeing that in a slightly sarcastic manner and yeah.
I hardly agree. This isn't a proper job. By any stretch of the imagination I get to bugger about with shiny tech all day long uh, I have done actual careers in the past six and a half years as a tech support guy decided that it was not for me at all. Let me tell you those guys do not like it when you crack open some single malt and start swinging, that from the bottle at your desk at 2pm um. Next up, Mr noise uh, again, I've probably completely up the pronunciation of that says uh.
By the way. Your polish is not that bad um yeah. No, that's that's not true. I mean it took me an entire holiday in Krak?w just to learn how to pronounce the beer properly. Like oasis and Corvette, I think Avesta was calling Yves or something like that until the bartender started pissing his pants and even the name of the city.
For god's sake, I was going to crack out for the first couple of days until somebody pointed it out there. That was wrong, but that's still not quite as bad as my pronunciation of Fukuoka in Japan. I still remember when I flew there from uh. South Korea went up to the airport desk at South Korea. Lady behind the desk, asked me where I'm going to, and I just looked in the eye and said you, okay, and it wasn't until she just started absolutely crying with laughter, though I realized that that wasn't quite right.
Next up, Dolph Ziegler says that's: either the honor band 6 or the honor band. Yes, on your wrist uh close. Actually, it's the Huawei watch fit elegance because after all, I am an elegant sort of chap and yeah I've had it on there, a good uh week and a half. Now I need to actually do a review of this bloody thing at some point. Let's get a spare moment.
Uh next tony Mohammed says we need to bring back the. Where is the Xperia updates? Um yeah, you know, you know, that's a perfect shout. Let's start it right now. It's the Sony Xperia one mark iii update and this week's update is no clue it. It's the Sony, Xperia 1 mark 3, update uh next up Edwin says that before 8 looks good wish.
I had the pennies for one to replace my z5 compact as it's getting a little slow, uh yeah. I really like the before 8 um, not as anywhere near as compact as the proper Xperia compacts, unfortunately, and that battery life was a real downer for sure uh. But oh man that z5 compact, I absolutely adore it, so mines started getting quite slow, quite a while back as well, which absolutely broke. My heart uh only continues cheers for the video I had flashbacks to AIDS from the late 90s. I do have big recollections of that.
That was that the late night channel before on it like 2 a. m or something ridiculous, got vague recollections of it. Coming on the TV when I was just like split out my bed unable to move trying not to focus on the ceiling, because it was spinning around too much, I tell you what you really can't beat the random that you would find on channel 4 and channel 5 when, when you were half cut back in the days just such inspired scheduling crap like euro trash, really bizarre 1970s euro porn. That was just it was more like a horror movie than in pornography attack of the mannequin bush. From outer space.
Now next up trial says uh put buddy, let's do the best, whiskey and best beer of all time. Ah, Jesus that I mean, that is a tough one. Thing is certainly when it comes to whiskey. I feel, like I barely even scratched the surface. Really I tend to just buy whatever's on offer in Tesco's.
As far as the single molds and stuff go, I do occasionally get the little taste of bottles and uh try a few of those as well. That's really, really nice ones. I think I mentioned it recently. The orchids do a good single malt, so definitely check out that uh as far as the beer goes, but it kind of depends on what kind of mood you're in uh for a stock, because I am a fan of you- know the old flat, warm British eels. Of course, you know on a winter's day and I stout reporter or something like that- always goes down well in summer, of course, a nice light log or a pale ale.
Here in the UK, I'm a big fan of brew York uh. I really like the siren beers as well, and definitely a big up for the Adams brewery over in southward as well. Many are happy memories of supper and their beers and the many pubs around there. They started to spread out quite a lot of gore, ship and stuff. You can find pretty much everywhere now.
They've got a really nice distillery there as well they're, a really nice rum, really nice, whiskey, uh best phone to use when drunk haha. Well, I mean at least pretty much every smartphone these days is like 6.5 to 7 inches, so probably quite easy to focus on. Even when you've had a few, you can't really see very well, although even with those massive displays actually being able to pork, the thing that you're aiming at is definitely a true test of dexterity and exactly how wandered you are, and it's pretty much give up using the Google Assistant as well, because she barely even understands me when I'm sober uh next comment. Uh. This man is the trio from top gear rolled into one person.
Oh Jesus, I mean that is a Resident Evil nightmare right there, I'm not sure which part of me I would want to punch the first, probably the Richard Hammond part well anyway, uh running law on time as usual. So a couple of final ones, uh Jason, says I'm going to keep asking until you answer TCL 25g review. Please, please yeah! I do still need to do a full review of that completely forgot. Sorry, um, but long story short. If I don't have time to do a full review.
Basically, I don't quite like it as much as the Poco f3 or the excellent Redmi Note 10 pro and if 5g is a priority, for you then definitely get something like the OnePlus word or the pixel for a 5g. If you can with the pixel, you don't get the wireless charging that you do on the ZTE, but the camera is so much better. The performance is nice and slick. Of course, you've got the guaranteed updates and last one for the week uh all Dorsey, I'm not entirely sure if I pronounced that right, but he basically says pick me pick me. Consider yourself picked on your sir.
If that is indeed your name, so a massive thank you to everyone who commented last week again far too many comments to get through, but very much appreciated, they're, always great fun to read, who always puts a smile on uncle spurt's face? Please do bang your comments down below, and I'll try and smash through as many of those as possible next week. Well, hopefully, I'll actually be shooting it more or less on Friday, rather than in the middle of the frigging week. Having said that, if any more pr companies want to invite me to a brewery, so I can get smashed all day long, then I wouldn't say no to that and next week there's a couple of bits going on in the smartphone world. There is a big launch on Wednesday here in the UK. It's a phone, that's already launched globally, but it is coming to blight at long last.
I don't know if I can mention exactly what it is, though, because I am embargoed right up the wazoo, so just stay tuned for that and on Thursday the full embargo lifts on the ZTE action.30 ultra uh so definitely check back then for more on the gaming performance and the camera take this stuff, like I couldn't mention in the original unboxing, and we should have a couple of other cheeky delights lurking there as well bit of Oppo a54 and a74 action. Stephanie stay tuned for all of that good stuff. So, as usual, have a fun bloody tactic weekend, whatever you're up to do stay safe. If you are hitting the pubs uh the discord techs, I guess the discord techs aren't open. Yet or they, unless it's one of the weird sort of corvid regulated ones, but whatever anyway, have yourselves a great one, uh, please do tune in again.
Next week and uh put subscribe down below YouTube and uh yeah love. You bye, you.
