    Tech News and Commentary Our guest this show: Kristi Kolski, Marketing Program Director - IBM Sports and Entertainment Partnerships Rod in Idaho listens to the free Podcasts, brought to you by Blubrry and is participating with the AskDave button at IntoTomorrow.com asked: "How are the Yamaha MusicCast systems and the Marantz Heos systems similar and how are they different? Which ones do you think would be easiest to use?" Rod, both are wireless music systems. Specifically, both allow their devices to speak to each other wirelessly. The general idea is to be able to have wireless speakers connected to some common source. Theyre both proprietary so the main difference is what brand they will work with. In other words, if you opt for Yamahas system you wont be able to connect a B&O speaker to it, or a Bose speaker to it, or a Toshiba subwoofer, or anything else. Other than that, both systems are comparable and the wireless feature is mainly a plus that allows you to easily place a speaker that you want anywhere you want. The sound quality wont be noticeably different because of the wireless feature, but may be different from speaker to speaker. One thing that the Marantz system has going for it is that its explicitly compatible with AirPlay, Google Assistant, and Alexa, Yamaha only lists Google Assistant and Alexa, so if you have any Apple products the Marantz system has an edge. Having said that, the hardware here should matter more and its likely to outlast your current smartphones and laptops.

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss Walmart's bodycams, ads on Windows 11, tasting virtual environments, Honda and Nissan looking to merge, GM's campfire display patent, and more. Next up, Bryan is here to spill the tea on some juicy gaming rumors floating around. What’s the word, Bryan? Our guest this show: Vern Sallee, Air Strategist - Axon Bob in Denver, Colorado asked: "I'm listening to and watching all the information on Ai. I want to buy a new computer. Do I wait for a computer with Ai built into it or do I just go to the different apps and get the Ai from the app store? Also, Ai is changing so fast. Is there a vendor that has the best Ai product for personal use?" Bob, it depends on what you need, really. If youre looking for a general use assistant then waiting and buying a computer with an assistant built in may be a good idea, but you may not need it if just asking questions to an online assistant or app is good enough to fit your needs. A purpose built computer will likely have the processing power to do some things locally, but its all very dependent on what youre looking to have Ai do for you. In terms of vendors, the market is splintered. For chat assistants ChatGPT seems to be ahead still but their models run on datasets that are not updated as often as Google, but if youre looking at coding then CoPilot will likely serve you better, and if youre looking at image generation Midjourney gets very impressive results. There are all summarizer bots from different companies that transcribe and summarize conversations, there are bots are specializing in math, or examining images and providing descriptions, etc. The best vendor is really just the one that is better at what you need assistance with, theres really not an overall do-it-all champion.

    Tech News and Commentary Our guest this show: Ryan McMahon, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Corporate Development - Cambridge Mobile Telematics and Robert Passmore, Department VP, Personal Lines - American Property Casualty Insurance Association Norman in Chattanooga, Tennessee asked: "I got a TV that's hooked up to a soundbar. But there's no place on the TV or the soundbar to plug in my other speakers because I want more sound going around my house and into the back room. i got the other speakers, theyre Pioneers. Is there any sort of link, or sort of hookup or any way to transfer the sound from this soundbar or the TV to these speakers?" Norman, typically soundbars have inputs but no outputs since theyre usually used on their own. Some brands like Bose and Samsung support either wired or wireless speakers so your first step should be to check the manual to be safe and make sure there isnt an out of the box, fully supported way to do this with your particular model. Assuming thats not the case (which is the most like scenario), then youll be looking at workarounds more than ideal solutions. Some people physically wire speakers to their soundbars, that tends to be a bad idea, the soundbar may not have the power to drive the speakers, or the impedance may not match that of its internal speakers and could potentially damage the soundbar. Some soundbar warranties are voided by trying something like that. Your other option is to get an optical audio splitter and split the signal coming out of your TV so its fed to both the soundbar and the speakers. The downside of that is that you wont be getting true surround sound, but the sound coming from multiple directions may be enough for you to consider it an improvement over the standalone soundbar.

    Tech News and Commentary Dave and Chris discuss Verizon's price hikes, Ai's role in personalized shopping experiences, Google's plans for recipes, kid's holiday gifts, and more. This week on ‘Into Gaming,’ Bryan’s got something special for all the Mario fans out there. He’s diving into the latest installment of his favorite series. Take it away, Bryan! Our guest this show: Bob Moog, Founder of University Games. Casey asked: "What would be a good Bluetooth headphone to buy for a friend, family member or myself? I'm assuming they all come with noise cancelation these days but I'm looking for the best deal for the money. Not too expensive, not too cheap. Something that sounds really good for the money." Casey, definitely not all modern headphones do noise cancellation but very many of them do. If you want a good middle of the road set, you cant really go wrong with Sonys WH-1000 series. Theyve been around for years and they keep getting updated. They do noise cancellation and were pitching Ai-based noise cancellation since before Ai started to mean nothing at all. Basically all that means is that they do adaptive noise cancelling, but still thats a nice feature to have. You can find Sonys WH-1000 for anywhere between $200 and $300 if you dont need the absolute latest version. Sennheisers Momentum series is around the same price, it also features noise cancellation and offer good sound for the price according to reviewers. Sennheiser has far, far more expensive offerings, ranging at time into the 10s of thousands of dollars in price, but for the price the Momentum series offers good sound quality and noise cancellation. The JBL Tour One model is also in the same price range, also offers noise cancellation and decent sound quality, the have a beefy look but the design looks a little less refined if thats a concern to you. Otherwise they may be worth checking out as well.
