In this episode of TechtalkRadio, Justin shares insights from his recent trip to Las Vegas, noting major changes since 2017, including the demolition of the Tropicana and a new baseball stadium for the Athletics. The team, including Andy and Slick, reminisced about past CES trips and discussed the rising cost of living in Vegas, such as paying $16 for a breakfast sandwich. They also marveled at the Sphere's construction, speculating on its design and maintenance. Andy recalled a fun CES 2008 memory when Ford hooked them up with a Ford Flex, sparking a conversation about their dream electric vehicles to drive to CES. Justin picked a Tesla Model S Plaid, Shawn opted for a Holden SS, and Slick leaned towards an electric motorhome.
The team tackled listener Bruce's question about controlling TV volume independently with a headset, recommending the Roku Ultra and the Roku app for Bluetooth headphones. They also shared tips on repurposing old mechanical keyboards for kids' entertainment and education. Andy highlighted the new Roku Ultra's faster speed and remote upgrade.
In response to a listener's question about tracking mileage for taxes, Andy critiqued QuickBooks for its price hikes and malfunctioning features, suggesting Mile IQ as a better alternative. Justin agreed that Mile IQ was more efficient.
The discussion shifted to drones, including the DJI Air 3S's features and the impact of the anti-drone bill. Shawn raised concerns about drone misuse and national security, while the team considered drones' potential for real estate and event photography.
Justin expressed interest in photography, with Shawn recommending a mirrorless camera from Sony. They agreed to explore the idea of Justin reviewing a Sony camera.
