Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article. Common scams people in the alt-tech/conspiracy theory space can fall for. From overpriced "freedom" phones running "banned" apps due to "censorship" by Big Tech and the "deep state" to overpriced software and health scams, there is plenty to look out for on the internet. However, one of the biggest scams, not because of its potential danger, but its insane profit margins, is the EMF scam. People believe that radio waves, like those from microwaves, satellites, metal detectors, and cell phones, are filled with rays that can affect them. Sometimes they believe these rays can "control minds," "start fires," or "give cancer." Obviously, this is false (sorry, crunchy/conspiracy readers). Nonetheless, these companies prey on innocent people by selling stickers that cost a penny and sell them for an 80,000% markup. These stickers do nothing. They cannot block rays and are o...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.    Google announced that it will rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America after the official United States database, the GNIS, updates its name.      This change will also affect Mount Denali, the US's highest mountain, which will be re-re-named Mt. McKinley in the United States. In other countries, the change will show with both names side by side. God bless and Tech Talk To You Later!

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special report.      In the podcast episode, "Kids Are Like Weeds," I announced the creation of the new Christian social site NotTheBoy.com . We are happy to announce that the site is growing and changing for the better.      Users have risen due to its branding, moving away from being a competitor site to other popular Christian social media sites and becoming an alternative to Reddit in response to the "power mods" banning X links to Reddit due to "facism."         NotTheBoy is now introducing groups, including Christianity, sports, technology, and more. More groups are beinng added and X links will, of course, be allowed, and teens are allowed. Registration is free for now! God bless, and let us become the largest Christian social media site on the planet!

     Samsung did it again, removing features from devices.       The S25 Ultra launched to much fanfare on Wednesday. However, one thing was missing: the S-pen. Now, before I go too far, the S-pen is still in the phone and it has an all-new design, which is nice. But it did lose a key feature, Bluetooth functionality. On phones like this before, it was able to pair with the device, and you were able to control the screen without touching it using the S-pen. No more; you have to touch the screen to use the phone. This is disgraceful. Samsung should have kept the feature even if it cost a few more cents.         The more important feature that is missing is also a remote camera shutter. Yes, Samsung says that they have other features that can do this, like the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch, but those cost upwards of $200. When the S-pen is essentially free when it comes to your phone, this is terrible.         And a...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.        Did you know that Samsung phones have a 1st party voice changer? It's ad-free and will work with system-level applications such as the voice recorder and camera, so be careful that you don't record anything important in this mode. Download Good Lock if you do not already have it. If you have it, you need to download the Sound Assistant module in the "Life Up" section. Don't worry, One UI 7 beta users, it works here as well.      Secondly, open this module and scroll all the way down to where it says "voice changer." Toggle the switch on. After toggling it, tap the settings. You will see a few pre-made options, but now you can make your own.      Tap that option and play with the settings. If you are ever recording something and you forgot to turn it off, a little notification at the bottom of the screen will show that it's in use so you can turn it off. God bless, and tech talk to ...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article. When doing internet research, you may want to see what people were saying in the past. This can help you find news articles in the past or information that would be harder to find in today's SEO-optimized culture. This is how you do it. 1. Open Google.com. On the top right, there will be a bar that says "Tools"; touch it. On mobile, you will have to enable desktop mode to get the full use of this feature. 2. After tapping it, on the top left, there will be a bar that says "Time." Click that. 3. Select "Custom range" and type in the date or year you want the search to start and end. This will only show articles published in that time. You may have to scroll down a bit, though, because sometimes publishers assign dates to articles for SEO (searching "iPhone" in 2004 will sometimes show ads for the 2024 iPhone 16).

Unlocking Developer Mode on your Android device grants access to advanced settings that can enhance your smartphone experience. However, enabling these features can introduce security vulnerabilities, so proceed cautiously.

     OnePlus recently launched the OnePlus 13, which is priced at $899 for the model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Interestingly, the 16 GB RAM/512 GB storage version also retails for the same $899.      In terms of specifications, this phone is among the most high-end devices on the market. It features a 6000 mAh battery, which, according to MKBHD, is impressive enough to last a full day. This marks a significant improvement over phones like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which, in my experience, typically last only half a day. As for AI, the OnePlus 13 comes equipped with Google Gemini, AI Unblur, and AI-powered photo and note-taking capabilities.      The phone is powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Mobile chip, which is expected to deliver better power efficiency and enhanced processing capabilities. However, new applications tailored to the chip have yet to be developed. As I’ve mentioned multiple times on my podcast, most ...

      When Samsung unveiled its new AI-based screenshot feature, I was very excited. It could pick the shape, extract text, and even, in a later update, record GIFs. However, the old screenshot taker was more stable.       For instance, if I want to screenshot something with words, the AI in it would detect the text and try to copy and paste it. This can be useful sometimes, but most of the time I want the screenshot. I have to select something that doesn't have text and then expand from there.        Secondly, the shapes option is gone. It's only squares and rectangles. No circles or triangles. This is unacceptable. Sure, you could edit it, but on-device it would be so much better.       Lastly, it's slow; it takes a long time to load and is sometimes glitchy. If Samsung can fix this, the AI screenshot would be the best ever! God bless and Tech Talk To You Later!!
