Tech & Tonic Episode 7 Feat. Stephen Francis

In today’s Tech & Tonic podcast session, we have Stephen P. Francis of MyGroser.com joining us for a livestream on YouTube. Stephen is a multi-entrepreneur and has vast experiences starting up and running businesses in all kinds of field. His latest project is MyGroser.com, an online grocery shopping platform if you put it simply. The philosophy of the business though is to deliver products directly from suppliers, to their warehouse, and then to the customers. Produces comes directly from distributors and suppliers instead of other retail stores. The brand is growing from strength to strength and is now scaling up very quickly to fit the demands of the current day customers. You can find Stephen on LinkedIn.

In today’s podcast, we discussed about the new HUAWEI P40 series that made an appearance last week. That led us to speak a little bit about the smartphone industry that we know today. Since the main selling point of the HUAWEI P40 series is its camera, we poked a little bit about that too with Stephen.

Of course, last Wednesday, the government has announced that the Movement Control Order has been extended to the middle of April (14 April 2020). That also means we are all going to be working from home for a little longer than we might enjoy. Still, MyGroser.com can provide all the essentials for our survival at home. They have been a little overwhelmed by the events that has transpired in the past few weeks though. We poked Stephen’s brain a little on what is happenning in MyGroser.com and what they have been doing to ensure you get what you ordered.

Tech & Tonic Episode 6 Feat. Jeremy Teo and Natasha Hashim – Stuck at Home, We Talked About Sony PS5!

In today’s episode of the techENT Tech & Tonic, we have a returning guest; Jeremy Teo, and new one, Natasha Hashim! Natasha Hashim, or TashBunny, as more commonly known to her stream fans, is a streamer and also content creator for IGN SEA! If you cannot recognise her, you should be watching more local eSports events, because she is one of the more bubbly host in the events.

We only have three mics in the office, but we are not in the office or studio at all today. We did a livestream in the morning, because all of us was stuck at home. So we talked a little bit about that. Since we were on the topic of catching up with stuff, we spoke plenty about games, and of course, the Sony PS5 “road to PS5” press conference. We shared what we were looking forward to with the new PS5, and what we were looking forward to with the games!

P.S. because it was recorded on a live stream software (OBS), we did not have the freedom to work with multi-track recording. Therefore, we had some audio issues in the beginning and did not notice it until someone in the stream mentioned it. We fixed in the later half of the show. Please do not turn your volume all the way up first.

Tech & Tonic Episode 4 feat. Adam Lobo – More COVID-19 Stuff and #BatteryGate

In this week’s Tech & Tonic Podcast, we have Adam Lobo of Adam Lobo TV! Adam Lobo is the lead vocalist in the rap metal band Dragon Red. Adam Lobo’s gift does not just stop at his voice though. He makes great looking contents on his YouTube channel too when he is not jamming out with the band. His love and passion in tech led him to create his own YouTube channel where he reviews the latest gadgets you can buy in the Malaysian market. If you want to see devices in 4K detail, you should definitely check out his channel.

Last week we saw big events in the tech industry being cancelled. We say that they are being cancelled, most of them have moved things online (as in livestreaming) instead. Microsoft’s MVP conference, Facebook F8 Summit, Adobe Summit, Google Cloud Next, Google I/O 2020 are just the few events that has been cancelled due to COVID-19 (there is a new official name now) concerns. How is this going to affect the tech landscape? What about other industries?

We also saw the most valuable brand in the world getting into some trouble with the law. Apple has been caught up in their court battle for a while now and the court has decided that Apple should be fined and pay out almost half a billlion U.S. Dollars in compensation to the victims of their deliberate software throttling. As far as we know, this only applies to the U.S. market. There is more to this though.

Tech & Tonic Episode 3 feat. Isa Rodriguez – Camera or Smartphone Cameras?

In this episode of Tech & Tonic, we have Isa Rodriguez of Isa Does Tech, her very own YouTube channel. As a tech reviewer, she is one of the more unique ones. She does not just review the tech, but also how it pairs with the lifestyle side of things. In that sense, it is a very unique and interesting approach to tech.

We spoke at length about the many smartphone launches that happened over the past week including the very anticipated and expensive HUAWEI Mate Xs. That is one eye catching device, since it is a foldable device and approaches the foldable device concept differently.

We also discussed about the Sony Xperia 1 Mk. II that really caught our eyes. We think that it is one heck of a device for creators. It is really Sony’s premium smartphone reloaded.

The war between proper cameras and smartphones continues though. Is it better to buy a super high-end smartphone, or is it better to spend some of that money to buy a camera, an interchangeable lens camera maybe. We all agreed that it really depends on what we are looking for in our smartphones or even cameras. Which is superior? Find out with Tech & Tonic Podcast.
