CRE CR35 Mini Smart Projector Review - True 1080p for Just $100

May 27, 2021 / lucasc

I've always had a certain fascination with projectors. They've been in use, essentially, since the camera obscura of the 16th century, and arguably even earlier. And yet, innovation in the product category continues to this day. Whether it's the best possible image quality or the smallest possible form factor, both high and low-end sectors are never boring. And yet, projectors... have a problem. Since the advent of HDMI, virtually every device on the market has advertised compatibility with 1080p and even ...

I upgraded from Pixel 3 XL to Pixel 4a. That's not a typo.

August 22, 2020 / lucasc

There really seems to be no middle ground for the Google Pixel. It's been a rollercoaster of good and bad since its inception. Fortunately, anyone like me who boarded the hype train on day one and stuck to a biannual upgrade cycle has hit only the high notes. The OG Pixel and Pixel 3 were straightforward, solid phones that "just worked" and felt great doing so. The Pixel 2 and 4? Not so much. Whether they're playing it too safe or going a little too crazy, Google somehow oscillates between absolutely ...

My First... NOT Phone? A look back on (and inside!) the Palm Vx

January 29, 2019 / lucasc

It's the year 2019. Let that sink in. You could be younger than the iPod and be a legal adult by now. In less than 365 days, we'll be closing out the second decade of the current century. And the tech revolution? Yeah, that's old-hat. Microsoft's goal of "putting a computer on every desk" has gone one giant leap further and put one in every pocket, on every wrist, in every car, and just about anywhere else you can imagine. To put things in perspective, Microsoft as a company officially revised that mantra ...

Third Gen's the Charm? Pixel XL vs Pixel 3 XL Review

January 16, 2019 / lucasc

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say something crazy: Google's Nexus lineup of early Android smartphones was a mess. The constant trading of manufacturers made each new device unpredictable, with several misses among the hits along the way. Different devices might have quality control faults, issues getting stuck in bootloops, or any number of other hardware and software bugs. But we all forgave them, because Nexus provided a "pure Android experience" at a reasonable cost. With the Pixel line, Google ...
