Tech Spurt Weekly Ep48 | Nokia 1.4, Mi Air Charge, Stadia woes By Tech Spurt

Hello gorgeous peeps and welcome to another thrilling episode of tech, spurt, weekly and hopefully this week I'll be sounding a little less ass or at least just sort of standard levels of vastness. Just checking the audio that all seems fine touch, wood I've been having a good old fiddle with the audio, so try and get those levels just right, so yeah so fingers crossed all is good. Apologies again for the absolute cluster that was last week's episodes and to think that some commenters think I know absolutely nothing about tech. Anyway, I haven't bothered to think of a clever intro or anything. We've actually got quite a lot of stuff to cover this week. So, as your mum said to me last night, why don't we just bang on expert weekly, uh right then? First up in news, that's about as shocking as a Victorian porno flick.

Google has decided to take a metaphorical film thrower to its in-house Google Stadia development team. So don't expect any stereo game, exclusives anytime, soon or indeed ever and have we actually decided exactly how you pronounce stereo yet as well, I say Stadia I've heard starrier studio sounds a bit oh upper crust posture. Just one of many burning questions. I have about Stadia stevia Stadia. However, you pronounce, it hasn't exactly been smothered with love by google, since it first hit the public space last year.

If this was google's kid, it would be the 15-year-old, delinquent son, who got shipped off to live with a distant ant after setting fire to the dog. Actually, that is really harsh on stereo, which was a perfectly promising platform, despite Google's apparent complete lack of shits. To give it could still be a winner to compete with other cloud streaming services, but chances are it's going to be taken out to see in a burlap sack and quietly disappeared. Soprano style definitely does make me kind of sad, because I can't get behind the whole cloud streaming thing. GeForce now from NVIDIA is absolutely fantastic, and I quite like the Microsoft version as well, where you can stream Xbox game, pass games to your smartphone and did a full video on that go check it out.

The sims, of course, still a thing in 2021, good news, if you like, locking virtual characters in a room and then watching them soil themselves and slowly go insane. Who doesn't, so it's going to happen to Stadia? Well, leave your predictions down below! Definitely now next on the list or we're seeing some slightly bonkers advancements when it comes to wireless charging, tech on smartphones in recent times, mostly thanks to likes of opp, with its clever dual battery technology and, of course, good old Xiaomi, who recently slapped 50 watt wireless charging on its fresh new Xiaomi, mi, 11 flagship phones. But right now, wireless charging still requires you to lovingly and tenderly place your smartphone on a wireless charging pad which isn't particularly clever or sexy, and that's where those Xiaomi boffins once again come into the picture with their clever new, but slightly luckily. Titled me air charge tech. The air charge base station can beam precious electricity to your grateful blower over distances up to a few meters.

So feasibly, your portable power, could power back up while it's still stuffed inside your pocket. Let's just hope: there's no trouble some static, build up. That makes your crotchet region all tingly. At the same time. Oh actually, that's the air charge base station packs a rather impressive 144 individual antennas, which perform this sci-fi wizardry, and I'm really sure that the 5g causes corvid and cancer of the brigade will be absolutely overjoyed when they hear all about this one I mean I've got to admit the thought of a big box packed with 144 antennas, beaming out electricity, just a few feet away from.

You do kind of make my ball sack shrink up into my body. Xiaomi hasn't exactly said. When the MIA charge tech will be available to consumers and in its current state it is kind of limited technology too we're talking a rather piddly 5 watts trickle charge here. But if it's powering up your phone, whenever you're at home, it doesn't really bloody matter, does it say, stop mourning all right? Christ? You bloody people, never happy! Now pretty quiet one on the smartphone launches this week, but we did see HMD global whip out its fresh new Nokia 1.4. It's a 90 pound budget handset.

That boasts a robust build, so you can hand it off to your dumdum kids without worrying about them. Breaking it in a single afternoon. Fun and functionality for the whole family is how HMD is building the Nokia 1.4 and certainly that 6.51-inch, HD plus screen could be used for some fun times all round for your cash. You get an android goal, handset with android 10 out of the box, but guarantees of android 11, soon, plus three years of security updates and there's a dual lens camera with an ah god, damn it a macro lens. Of course.

Of course, there is seriously when is it ever going to end? Why not just stab her knife directly into my heart? You, absolute monsters and HMD reckons you'll enjoy two days of battery life from the Nokia 1.4. As long as you don't spend all day in lockdown watching Scandinavian scat porn on it, oh wait: did I see a Scandinavian scat porn just a slip of the tongue? What I meant to say was extreme hentai, a few other bits of tech for later news this week, including good old Bezos, of course, standing down as the CEO of Amazon. A lot of people seem really shocked about this, but of course he is he's literally got enough money now to build his very own scrooge, Chuck vault and surely that's the end game for anyone on this miserable little planet enjoy retirement, Jeff boy, you're, rich prick and also impending launch alert. One way is going to be to be revealing its fresh new mate x2 foldable phone on January, the 22nd more sexy hardware, no doubt, but what about the software? That's very intriguing, indeed stay tuned for more and all that, and that's about all the news that I can still make this week. So it's time to drop trout, touch your toes and think of merry old England, as we dive face-first into that most favorite of segments viewer comments, fewer comments, all right.

The first comment this week comes from jams Jim says your audio. Wasn't that bad, I recorded a well-known actor from her wardrobe this week, and it sounded trash, and I'm a professional sound engineer hang on, as in you were in her wardrobe, hang on I'm kind of confused. Should I call the police not really sure uh next up Joseph says, you are awesome, and I watched your video while drinking uh yeah top lad. That is the recommended strategy for getting through an episode of textbook weekly and also the sole reason you think. I'm awesome, uh Matt says money to pay the bills Chris, we know you just buy alcohol yeah.

I mean that's what I meant the alcohol bills. You know who needs heating when you've got a 24 pack of skulls next up David, says: expert the missing link between life on earth and educational children's TV. Can you imagine people setting their kids in front of an episode of textbook weekly for their educational lessons, Jesus Christ, I'll tell you what, though I would just I just would not survive as a children's TV presenter? If that Jason fella came up to me with a cream pie, I'd kick him right in the, and I tell him and that Robbie robot to go get well. I suppose we could do a boozy version of number blocks where basically every beer can we finish off. We stack it up one on top of the other, and then you have to count how many beer cans we've got through.

How many we have remaining very important, how many cans of beer does it take for father to piss his pants and fall face down on the floor oops there he goes again Jessica, oh dear. I think this could work. I might pitch that to the BBC. Uh next comment comes from uh, Vladimir apologies, as ever. If I completely funnier up the pronunciation of your name uh, he says I hoped s in mod roller edges would stand for small, but no it's freaking, humongous yeah, the motor edge, sizeable, I guess, is probably more likely sign of the times of it.

I mean Jesus Christ, the amount of phones that board will staffs out. You think that at least do one mini or compact or something, but the freeway just does look like a decent smartphone. If it comes out over here in the UK, for you know a respectable mid-range sort of price, then it could be a good bit of competition, for you know likes the one plus's things like that, and apparently I think I saw a headline earlier today that they sold like 10 000 units within seconds of it going on sale or something crazy, so fingers crossed. You know it does well, it makes it over here, and we get even more water, all the phones to review and actually on that very subject. The next comment from Paul is uh, two things guaranteed after the apocalypse, cockroaches survive and Motorola's still releasing smartphones.

I think you might have hit the nail right on the freaking head there so guys, basically, at that point, they'll be producing phones for cockroaches. That's just how the cockroaches are mutated into big seven foot buggers with massive hands. Next up graham says: they've banned all booze in South Africa, again Jesus Christ, man uh, so I'm going in sober wish. Me luck! Look you do not need luck! Where you're going mate, you need a frigging, hip, flask filled with the strongest single malt. You can find.

Oh, she looks like, according to the BBC they've lifted the band now so good. I'm pleased what you made cause come on. I mean lockdown is miserable enough without having you know, been booze deprived as well, that's kind of like cutting someone's arms and legs off and sticking a gag on them and then, as if that wasn't bad enough, then sticking them in front of a TV show in a 24-hour Mrs browns boys marathon uh. Next up, if I buy you a Sony alpha one camera and a Xperia pro with you live stream textbook weekly while drinking. Surely it's the content that 2021 deserves? I mean I'm not even sure, that's the content, that a serial killer deserves to be honest, but 2021's shaping up to be pretty CAC.

So, potentially, if you do want to see me talking, bollocks live while drinking, then I am going to be on the Sam and Matt across the podcast uh podcast this Sunday. Let's go check that out I'll, try and remember to stick a link down in the description, otherwise you'll find it on twitch and good old YouTube and yeah. I'm definitely going to try and get some more live streams on the go right here on textbook throughout the year as well, so stay tuned for all of that good ship uh, but yeah. Now, if you want to buy me a Sony alpha one camera uh, I definitely would not turn that down. Definitely any gift sent to the address below next up Mario says: will you be covering the development of the new blackberry? Smartphone story? Oh, yes, definitely very much, so I've been very interested in the blackberry world ever since they basically ditched the god awful blackberry, OS and everything started going with android using their own launcher to add in some of the best features, I think it's a really nice blend uh definitely check out the blackberry launcher.

If you haven't already, I really like the blackberry, PRI handset from well back in the day that was when I was reviewing it for mobile choice. Was it was a long time ago now, um so yeah, so hopefully they can improve on that and just give it a less toilet name as well. Next up master g says no, no, no Morris albums still have words and ideas plenty of more worthwhile semi-literate targets out there I mean yes, technically, there are worse things than Morris out there, but seriously. Every time I hear one of the one of his songs. This is what I'm actually hearing.

Oh, look at me, I'm so very, very, very sad. Now my skinny jeans have cut off all circulation to my not sack and my hair's still crap. Basically, anyway, uh next up Alistair says new segment alert, which celebrities can we get uncle spurt to impersonate this week? Well, there's another one for the crap celebrity impersonation bank. I mean you can throw names and stuff at me if you want, but I mean let's face it, I can't do accents. I can't, you know, do impressions of any so basically, I've got.

No talent is what I'm saying here. If you haven't realized this after how many episodes 47 48, then there's no hope for any of us and speaking of segments that should have been drowned a bloody birth. Your buggers have been at it once again having you with the bald these headless celebrities, uh. So regrettably, for the first time in 2021 and undoubtedly not the last time I just roll a goddamn mother flicking jingle, which crap celebrity. Do I look like this week, so we had a few suggestions last week, uh some of them have already had including girl, Louis Spence? We've had him, so often he's even in the bloody title sequence, uh Alistair McGowan, doing an impression of David Beckham during his slap head phrase, but we've had a loss to McGowan before, but not that specific Alistair McGowan.

So I guess that kind of counts. Oliver says you look kind of like a skinnier version of Brian glover love it. Mr rottweiler himself. I mean to be fair that I could probably three of me for breakfast but uh yeah. I see where you're going with that one uh Steve think one said you look like Zach from Jerry everything, but instead of being fit you've a master taste for the drink yeah fairly.

Furthermore, I can't really argue with that. Furthermore, I'm bald, and I don't really like lifting very much unless it's lifting beers turn my face. Am I right lizard limited says: am I the only one who thinks you look a bit like Wallace from Wallace and gr omit yeah? This segment's done on a completely different topic. Steve says jimmy's on the key side. Was the place to go for free booze by spinning the wheel jimmy's with a zed.

At the end, it sounds like the kind of classy name that this establishment, that I'm thinking of words have so that does sound legit uh next up, Arnie, fart, 54 Dave. Also, on the subject of uh drinking in Newcastle, says I used to go to Newcastle about 50 years ago, took cedar princess among others, oh man. Now that brings back some memories, some very, very hazy, memories. Now for anyone who doesn't know and hasn't experienced the joys of the tuxedo princess, this was a nightclub in Newcastle. We used to lovingly call it the boat because it was you know it was a boat, and sadly it's now sealed off into the sunset uh booster love gone there.

The highlight was definitely the revolving dance floor inside uh, which was just as fun as it sounds, especially after all of those triple shots that we were talking about last week, that was seemed like a good idea at the time you would get on the thing, and you'd be spinning around, and then you'd start to feel a little sick because of the dancing and the constant rotation. Then, of course, getting off was always lots of fun as well, because, of course, your mobility is a little all over the place. You couldn't just step off, because that would just end in disaster every time that would be like you on your ass drink all over you, so you basically would end up feeling, like Tom Cruise, getting ready to like jump off the back of a moving train or something like that. You'd have to sort of get the right poise. Furthermore, you'd have to brace yourself wait for exactly the right moment and then just go for it and trust me.

Furthermore, you really did not want to bugger up that dismount, because if you timed it badly, you would end up fierce first in some big lads, man tits but, as I say, the tuxedo princess has suddenly sealed off down the tine uh no longer with us, which is yes at times. Its happy memories there. I think they had a bit of trouble, actually getting it to uh to seal away, because there was just a mountain of Smirnoff ice bottles, kind of clogging up the area of the surrounding river. The next comment- uh ADI says it's my birthday today, happy freaking birthday add, and it continues which phone should I buy with a budget of 250 quid got that good money from gran good stuff, uh. Looking for a good gaming, 5g smartphone! Well, the Xiaomi me 10 t like basically job done, and I've again gone massively over time, so better make this the last one again, uh final comment, Craig says: come on guys: let's get uncle spit up to a million subscribers by the end of the year, then perhaps he can review all 197 Motorola smartphones that will be released this year.

Uh. I try man, I really do try, but more roller. They just keep staffing them out faster than I can handle them. What I basically need to do is uh is, with all of my fantastic YouTube money. I need to hire myself a Motorola, and then I can basically hand all the Motorola smartphones off to him or her equal opportunities, and then they can do what needs to be done uh.

So that's the dream. Maybe I'll get myself a mortal game, but at some point, but yeah grown the spurt and army to a million strong that'll be pretty damn kick-ass and thank you so much to everyone, who's spread the word so far. Definitely that is the best way of supporting the channel uh 100, and thank you to everyone who left comments last week as well. Big apologies for didn't get around to yours, so many comments, so many lovely comments as well, but please do bang them down below. Tell me your thoughts on whatever you fancy, and we've got just about enough time to have a quick check of the calendar for next week, and it looks like a fairly slimline one.

It looks like the 11 global launch is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, the 8th at midday UK time so stay tuned for lots of hot content on that bad boy, wink wink. I hope to bring you a couple more bits of tech related goodness. Then, of course, uh this time next week join me for another tech expert weekly, where we'll all because you up have a drink and try and figure out if jams is hiding in the wardrobe recording us all, save yourselves a fantastic weekend. Everyone I'll catch you next week cheers you.
