Two Blokes Talking Tech

TBTT #734 - Sony RGB, HP PC's and eBay targets Facebook

28 May 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What new technology has Sony introduced in their RGB TVs?

0.031 - 8.661 Stephen Fenech

Let's rock and roll. That's not exactly what you said, but given the age rating of this program, we'll keep it at that.

0

8.681 - 14.648 Unknown

Yes, this is non-explicit. If you want to hear the two blokes cut and loose a little bit, especially Trev, he's a bit of a potty mouth, go to the private feed.

0

14.668 - 32.588 Stephen Fenech

And that's not a slight on me, that's just the truth. The AI proved that you were a much bigger potty mouth than me. I can drop a bomb, that's for sure. But you won't hear any such talk on this show. No. This is all about tech. Although, speaking of potty mouth and kids, if you're listening, this is not for you.

0

32.708 - 43.721 Stephen Fenech

And hopefully your Netflix account is rated for kids because it won't be in your feed. But I smashed the second season of Bad Thoughts, Tom Segura. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm saving that for the trip, for the plane.

Chapter 2: How do HP's new laptops utilize Intel's NPU for performance?

43.921 - 48.346 Stephen Fenech

Yeah, yeah. Do you remember the first season? I do. In two words, how would you describe it?

0

48.366 - 51.031 Unknown

My favourite was the coffee shop bloke who did it in his milk he went.

0

51.191 - 53.855 Stephen Fenech

Yeah. So two words, how would you describe it, the first season?

0

57.44 - 63.53 Unknown

In two words. Yeah. Or one. Radical. And unexpected.

0

63.89 - 69.579 Stephen Fenech

Yeah. I'd use things like brutal, you know, because it was violent. So I'll tell you this.

Chapter 3: What changes has eBay made to their seller fees and is it effective?

69.979 - 74.046 Stephen Fenech

I don't think it's as brutal, but I think it's funnier.

0

74.807 - 75.027

Okay. Yeah.

0

75.007 - 96.408 Stephen Fenech

But here's what I'm curious, and I need updates from you once you've done it. I am obviously all in on the Segura universe. So I watch his Two Bears and One Cave with Bert. I watch his Your Mom's House with his wife. I'm all in. I think there's a couple of things that are a bit in, in jokes. Oh. A little bit. Okay.

0

96.428 - 98.691 Unknown

I don't know if they'll – That are even included in the Netflix special?

0

98.811 - 112.006 Stephen Fenech

Yes. Yeah, I'm just curious as to whether they matter or what, but I loved it. Primarily for that reason. Well, of course you were. He had you at hello there. Yeah. Of course you were going to love it. It was very good.

112.246 - 116.852 Unknown

I still laugh at the last season. It's very funny. And still I remember him quite well.

116.872 - 124.521 Stephen Fenech

Yeah. And it is as edgy is another good word, isn't it? Like it's just who allowed this to be made, you know?

124.842 - 129.507 Unknown

Yeah. But it's well worth a look. The coffee shop one is my favourite.

Chapter 4: How does Apple Sports cater to Australian sports fans?

129.808 - 130.389 Stephen Fenech

Yeah.

0

130.409 - 134.193 Unknown

Yeah. No, definitely it's on the list, mate.

0

134.554 - 151.594 Stephen Fenech

You know, we're both flying out early next week. And I luckily, yesterday I went looking for a battery because it was wonderful to have the family here a few weeks ago helping me clean up. And I took everything. There used to be a bunch of stuff in this white cupboard over here, which was like charging cables. And I just put it all in a box.

0

151.614 - 168.281 Stephen Fenech

I said, right, it doesn't need to be up here, like that silver trolley. You can just go downstairs. If I need a microphone, I can walk down a flight of stairs, you know, because why does it need to be up here? and I can't find the batteries for my camera. Oh. So these cameras here, I have one of them that's not attached, and I use it to take my product shots and stuff.

0

168.301 - 186.514 Stephen Fenech

I'm like, I don't have a battery for this. And I've got six batteries and a multi-charger. I've got the whole thing. Yeah. No idea where it is. And yesterday I was looking for it, and Harry goes, oh, I think it's here. It's not. But I found a box, which was also a bunch of stuff that was up here that I'd just gone into a box with. And it's like my travel box. So it's got some adapters.

186.535 - 196.33 Stephen Fenech

Can't find them now. No, no. I luckily saw it yesterday and took it out and went, okay, because it's got my iPad in it. I only use the iPad when I fly. I don't use it any other time. I use my iPad all the time.

Chapter 5: What comparisons are being made between Sony and competitor TVs?

196.51 - 205.104 Unknown

No, never. For the movie podcast, that's my main use of it. Never use it. And when I travel, when I'm on the scope. That's my go-to. Never use it.

0

205.224 - 208.248 Stephen Fenech

So I'm lucky I found that. Use it as much as your Vision Pro.

0

208.468 - 232.302 Unknown

Still haven't found the bloody batteries. You know what? I had my first cleanup of my new office. Oh, right. Is that why you dumped so much stuff in my bin? Yes, yes. It sounded – That was actually from my theater. It sounded heavy. Well, it was a lot of – it was like paper and stuff and mostly recyclable stuff. Yeah. No e-waste. Okay. That I know of.

0
0

232.703 - 262.44 Unknown

it was all cardboard but it was the first because do you remember when I renovated my office I had to get everything out of my office literally everything and that filled my formal lounge room and half my theatre that little room couldn't believe and then when I put stuff back in it most of it went back in a lot of stuff was thrown out but this is the first time I've gone back in and thought right let's rearrange a few things here and there are things that I still can't find

262.42 - 266.628 Unknown

in there that I was wanting to hope to find, but they're in there somewhere.

267.029 - 285.786 Stephen Fenech

Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of black plastic boxes have been purchased for another visit back here to clean up more of the shelves, which I just can't wait to do. You know, those crates. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, last night Jackson was wandering around and he asked his mum for, you know, cleaning fluid, like stuff to clean the desk.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the new TV technologies on viewing experience?

285.806 - 292.859 Stephen Fenech

And I went, what are you doing? What? Your son's cleaning. I went into the office at home and he's moved everything. He's cleaning the desk.

0

292.879 - 296.185 Unknown

So this was the desk in your old office there? Yeah. Is that his room now? He uses that.

0

296.205 - 313.435 Stephen Fenech

Well, we'll get to that in a second. I went, mate, you know you can't see the floor in your room. So – That'd be a better place to start. Better place to start. Just quietly. Yeah. But full credit to you. This is wonderful stuff. Anyway, I went in there late last night or this morning and had a look. I'm like, you did a good job. You did a great job.

0

313.455 - 327.659 Stephen Fenech

But when we were in there last night and when he was kind of half done, he was contemplating where to put the PC monitor because it's not his room. But because we want Harry to be able to go in there when he's doing tutoring online. So we want a quiet space for him to sit and do that. We also want a quiet space.

0

328.079 - 346.295 Stephen Fenech

So we've cleared a space up against under the projector on that kind of bench there where Vivi can sit if she just wants to sit and work quietly without anyone around and stuff. And so we were just talking about where things were going. And Amanda goes, well, you know, Jackson, it's your desk. And I went, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's my desk.

Chapter 7: How does the NPU impact the performance of HP's laptops?

346.315 - 349.122 Stephen Fenech

And she looked at me and she went, you've got a whole office.

0

349.423 - 349.704 Unknown

Yeah.

0

349.884 - 368.652 Stephen Fenech

And I went, off-site. I'm running a whole business, okay? But yes, I think I've officially lost that room. Oh, wow. Yeah, there it is. Not even the 3D printer's in there now because she bought a table for that. It's in the garage just outside of it. She's still going hard on that? Oh, mate, it's running 24-7. We had to do maintenance on it on the weekend. I did a YouTube video to grease and oil.

0

369.373 - 386.168 Stephen Fenech

I did that myself about a month ago. I went to Bunnings to buy oil. Amazon, hello. I bought the grease and the oil. I needed it right then. Ah, okay. It was in the diary. Clean printer. Yeah, I've got some spares. I ordered too much. I should have given you some. Oh, can you bring it? Yeah. I should have given you some.

0

386.148 - 396.723 Stephen Fenech

The grease, I'm not sure is the right grease because it's a big tub and it's, you know, whatever. Yeah, you sort of wipe it on the screws. And then the oil, in the video I watched, he put it on and it didn't drip, but my oil is just dripping everywhere.

Chapter 8: What are the potential benefits of eBay's fee changes for casual sellers?

396.744 - 397.805 Stephen Fenech

So I'm like, is this the wrong oil?

0

398.146 - 407.62 Unknown

No, I did watch the YouTube video too and I took a list of bought everything they suggested and did it only about a month ago. Yeah, right. That's how many hours I've been using it, so it's okay.

0

407.96 - 438.342 Stephen Fenech

So when we were down in Griffith, I'm going to show you something I can't show the public. I'm really sorry. But we were down there and my uncle used to have in his back shed, like a proper shed, he had a sawmill. He could take... a tree stump or trunk and turn it into anything. So he could – Turn it into chips. No, but he could mill it and make chairs. Oh, wow. So cut it into planks and stuff.

0

438.422 - 452.217 Stephen Fenech

Like gifted, right? So now he's moved. He's gone to Toowoomba and he's got a smaller – so he's now more little stuff. And he goes, oh, I'll make you a breadboard. And Amanda goes, oh, my God, we've just bought a new breadboard, but we now need another one that shows that it's celiac. So she said, what I want is a round –

0

452.197 - 470.887 Stephen Fenech

So it's very clearly that's the celiac breadboard and this one's the not. Gluten and non-gluten, right? And then he's talking about all these cheese platters he's made. I'm going to make this. And Amanda said, we only use a cheese platter when I go to baseball. And we were like, you should make a baseball version. Anyway, so Amanda hasn't seen this, but I sent him a drawing.

471.047 - 491.856 Stephen Fenech

I sent him a drawing of our local baseball field. which is actually literally the local one. And it's not like all baseball fields are broadly the same, but the differences are, so for example, the dirt around the Dodgers goes the whole way. And at our baseball field, it's just dirt around each base, but it's in a certain design. So I took a drone shot and I designed it.

491.836 - 511.866 Stephen Fenech

Anyway, so Uncle Ray has made a cheese board. If it doesn't arrive today, it'll arrive tomorrow. So the one on the left is the – that's the chomping board. And that's the diamond. That is legitimately the Thornley diamond. So she's going to turn up to baseball this summer and do a cheese platter. On the diamond. It's like our diamond. I think she's going to love it.

512.287 - 527.752 Stephen Fenech

Are you going to lacquer it too? No, it just needs to be oiled. That's what I meant. You just need to oil it. You do that or he does that? He's already done one, Kurt. You just every six months give it a oil with some vegetable oil. That's how I treat my boards, mate. And so the reason I say that is because now she's printing. So he's the one that just bought the Addo 3. Ah.

528.353 - 539.569 Stephen Fenech

And so I said, well, can you print him some umbrella hooks? Have I shown you those? No. Amanda printed these great umbrella hooks for the back of the Kia because we always have umbrellas in the car. And so you know the mounts for car seats?
