A channel with a focus on oddball devices and a lean towards Pixel phones.
Ever since I was a kid I have always been far more interested in the stranger pieces of hardware than the ones everyone used. From installing a touch screen into the original Eee PC to loving my Nokia N770 Internet Tablet all the way to the Surface Duo and Folds of today, that has never changed.

I need your help for a new video idea: The Home Screen Audit! I want to see the very best and the very worst of your phone setups, especially if you're rocking aa foldable device like the Z Fold, Pixel Fold, OnePlus Open, or even a classic Surface Duo. Please take a screenshot of your current home screen and email it to me at Shane@ShaneCraig.Tech with the title *Home Screen Audit*. If you don't use that title, you might get missed. Be sure to include a quick note explaining your choices - what launcher are you using, which widgets are non-negotiable, and does your setup prioritize speed or aesthetics?
In the video I'll be giving my thoughts on your layout an showing it to the world. I'm hoping this will be a fun and light-hearted video. If you want to be a part of it, just send a screenshot!

I haven't done a Q&A video in over a year.. so let's see if I get enough questions here to do one. Any questions you have (on tech, preferably lol) drop them here and maybe there will be a video.

I know we're all in on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold content at the moment, but you should take a moment to watch this battery test from @GOTgoodoldtech-1964. You might be surprised to see how the Fold 7 performs..

Amazon has knocked $400 off the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Now it's a slightly less eye-watering $1599, brand new, no trade-ins.

As a part two to my Galaxy Z Fold 7 battery survey, which of these lengths of average screen on time for your use marks the threshold for which you'd consider battery life to be acceptable? How many hours per day of active use can you get by with happily?
Honestly, it'll be helpful in general knowing what most people consider to be the line for an acceptable amount of screen on time.

With all the constant talk about the Galaxy Z Fold 7's battery size and battery life, I thought it might be fun/useful to gather some data. I know that screen on time is not the most precise way to measure battery performance, because there are a million different factors beyond just how long the screen is on, but it's the best we have. On your Galaxy Z Fold 7, in YOUR use, how many hours of screen on time do you average per day?
Please don't lie to make the phone look better and please don't lie to make it look worse. Let's get the truth. Let's find out if the battery is the disaster the internet says it is for the average user.

Some of you may remember the health issues my dog Rutherford has had over the last few years (nothing sad coming, don't worry). A few days ago we ended up back in the ER with what seems to have been a pancreatitis flare up. Today, he's bouncing back faster than any 13-year-old dog with no spleen has any right to. He seems happy and not in a lot of pain either, eating and drinking without issue too.
The reason I bring this up is because that good news plus some other stuff has me feeling an intense level of gratitude this morning. Not only do I want to say thanks to each of you watching and commenting (especially those who do so without using an adblocker 😁😂) for helping make my life what it is today, I also wanted to encourage others to feel the way I feel this morning. I haven't done this in a while, so drop a comment on this telling everyone something you're grateful for this morning. Big or small, it doesn't matter.

Just a heads up, the lovely @stevelitchfield and his co-host Ted Salmon had me back on The Phones Show Podcast. In it, I gave more thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 than I have thus far, so if you want a sneak peek at my review, this is kind of it.

I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all of you who are watching my content. It was not that long ago that my baseline for a "good enough" video was a thousand views in the first day. If I could go back a couple years and show myself the numbers I get now I'd be shocked. Y'all watching are allowing me to do something I love for a living, so THANK YOU.
