Pixel Buds Pro 2 review: not perfect, but Google’s best yet

Anyway, this video is about the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2. While these buds are undoubtedly the best wireless earbuds the company has ever made, they still need to improve in the ANC and microphone departments.

    For 6 grand your should get a battery charger, but here is the funny thing, my first DSLR cameras for many years after were Pentax starting with the k10D up to the K3 MKIII and K1 MKII all came with a battery charger, it's only the last few years that you had to pay extra money for one, and for the price of cameras that is a ripoff.

    I think if somebody says flagship is a funny word, and even more, for a camera of this scope, you never truly worked in really hard environments or demanding events. Not saying being a full time reviewer or TH-camr is simple, not at all, but this camera checks EVERYTHING a real work tool needs to check. Is just so good. And somebody else said, Leica? For the love of good, those cameras are a joke when you analyze what you receive and what you pay but people still like them. I'm assuming it's the same for Apple. Anyway, if you want to enjoy that, awesome. Go for it.

    Great review but Gemini Live can remember stuff now if you opt in. I received the announcement...am a "Gem" and in the Discord group, but not an employee of Google. Gemini Live can be useful depending on what you use it for but everyone is an individual with different needs of course. Try asking it specifically if food is healthy in a grocery store and what the nutritional benefits are, or tell it to remember things about you like allergies or favorite ingredients/foods and ask it to suggest recipes. You just have to get creative sometimes but other times it's good for simple things. I actually had a deep convo about the Singularity, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence. At one point I was thinking...damn...I'd like to meet a woman like THAT! lol No, I won't fall in love like in "Her" but I was chuckling to myself. And it's empathetic! And it seems to have a level of emotional intelligence. It's simulated but it's pretty interesting and useful. btw, tried to vote for you but the website keeps freezing on my Chromebook. grrrr well when I tried to register. Sending positive vibes! This is not a criticism!

    Im actually confused of choosing a simple but cinematic with wide angle cam My contenders are: Insta360 x4 Ace pro 2 Dji action 5 pro Dji pocket 3 My usage are 1. Cinematic real estate indoor videos 2. Travel 3. eveyday use for architectures project What i need: - smooth stabilization, indoor some low light situation - great hdr sensor cuz low light room with bright window usually the case - super wide angle for indoor use What i think it can work for me - so EIS usually works bad in low light situation but i found using gyroflow with my avata 2 can work great cuz it uses motion data Thats why im thinking of dji action 5 or ace pro 2; they both can use gyroflow - im actually also interested in X4 360 camera cuz it has WIDE angle lens= better EIS But it dosent able to use gyroflow and bad lowlight sensor and not too great for making cinematic - it got me thinking! What if i use gyroflow with dji action 5 pro / ace pro 2 so i can get better stabilization, no jerky EIS in low light, wnd also wider angle Please help me on this 😁

    I just cannot understand this excessive fear of the cloud. It's borderline irrational at this point. We're all one of 6 billion+ people on this earth. Why do we think sharing some momentary sliver of location data on a server is going to result in something nefarious or dangerous or threatening happening to us? An extremely small handful of fringe instances of data being accessed by those unauthorised - and we're talking years ago too, well before the days when tech companies fully recognised the importance of data security and resourced these requirements appropriately - does not mean you're at a meaningful risk of anything untoward happening to you. We share our personal information with our doctors, our banks, our insurers, our internet providers, our therapists, our schools, our lawyers, our online shopping providers - and yet we rarely even blink at this and the majority of these companies and service providers lack the robust data security technology and infrastructure of a company like Google. The risk of the data you share on a cloud server being used against you is infinitesimally small compared to the risk of being in a car accident, or getting hurt playing sport, or being robbed. If we're so afraid of something remotely unlikely happening to us why don't we just lock ourselves in our room just to be safe? If we're so concerned about our privacy perhaps we better not step outside into the world of millions of people with internet connected cameras in their pockets. Perhaps we better not put our face online on social media. I appreciate that data security is important. I'm certainly not suggesting it isn't. And I vehemently support tech companies like Google being heavily scrutinised on data use and security. But equally, I think the paranoia of utilising the benefits of the cloud to benefit us day to day is unbelievably overblown. I have been using Google services for 20 years and yet my lights still turn on, my bank balance remains intact, my house is secure, and I've not been stalked or tracked by a rogue agent. I'm fine! And you will be too if you use the cloud and follow sensible precautions of setting strong passwords, using a password manager, and using two factor authentication. The reality is 99.9999% of us are not important enough to be targeted for anything sinister, only the odd advertisement - and hey, step outside and look around you. You're surrounded by advertising everywhere. The world has been ad saturated for decades. Just recognise what advertising is - a way to play on your emotions to buy products - and you'll soon find the capacity to see through this. Your life won't be cast into jeopardy.
