Tech Log – Date 77718.5

Returning from Spring Break today, and, truth be told, despite bringing copious mobile gaming gear, I hardly gamed at all. I’ve got some trudge-work to do re-onboarding into mobile gaming on Android; I’ve probably sunk my teeth back into iOS more. The most I did was hook up my Xbox Controller and phone holder and played #Drive and Asphalt 8 on the OnePlus 12 last night.

I caught that I’d left the OnePlus in 120Hz mode all day from when I was playing Air Traffic Controller the night before. Despite “over-running” it at a completely unnecessary refresh rate for a full day, I still finished the day at over 40% battery power. This phone is the phone for people who suffer from smartphone battery anxiety.

All-in-all, it was a good trip for tech. I’ve given up in recent years my meticulous planning and writing about my pack-up kit. My recent disillusionment with the gaming conversation has had much to-do with my renewed focus on laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, phones, audio, etc, and I’ll be spending more of my time focused on those aspects of consumer electronics.

Funny thing is…my first assignment for when I get back? Trying out some Android games on the Chromebook Flex 5. It all goes full circle
