This week on the Solid State podcast, we… talk about phones. I mean there’s no beating around it, right? It’s Late summer knocking on fall, which means we’re getting down to the end of what Samsung, now Google, and soon Apple have in store for us to round out the gadget year of 2026. With Google’s recently completed Pixel announcement event, on the whole things were very, very status quo… Three main phones (in a few sizes) last year… three main phones (in the same sizes) this year. Remember the

This week on the podcast we… well, we do our best. And no I don’t mean because we didn’t prepare a topic and “made it up as we went” (that never happens….), this go around I mean we did our best, honestly, to… stay positive. Truly, there is plenty of bad stuff going on in the world at any given time, it’s not the intent of this show to ever zoom in only on the negative. That whole “silver lining” thing?

Everyone has their guilty pleasure. An objectively awful TV show that you just happen to love. That candy bar that has your stomach turning an hour later but it doesn’t matter because it transports you back in time. Me? Mine is eggs. Yep, you heard me right, and I no I don’t mean some secret code word for an obscure, unheard of super computer or gaming platform. I literally mean… the breakfast food. Scrambled specifically.

This week on the Solid State Podcast things get a little… real. We know we talk about a lot of topics on this show, many of them relevant, timely technology stories and others… not so much. This week, it couldn’t get more relevant. It couldn’t be more timely. And it honestly couldn’t… suck much more either. See, one of our favorite corners of the industry, Gaming, is now long past a “state of flux”. You could be forgiven for describing more as in a state of free fall. That’s not to say money isn
