Show #1955 Week of September 28th 2023
AMAZING! We’ve in year 18 of The Giz Wiz Show!
The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006! If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you’d like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we have zero ads) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page. There’s a Paypal link there too. Thank you! www.gizwiz.tv.
This week Chad & I each show off brand new recently released tech gadget.
I start with the new Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Earbuds. It was just about a year ago when Bose introduced the Quiet Comfort Earbuds II, so many of us were surprised that they were announcing another new Quiet Comfort model so soon after. But this new model does have a great new feature, Spatial Audio. It seems to move the music from your ears and make it sound much wider and richer. I was quiet impressed with the “Immersive mode” performance. It has CustomTune (Er, CustomTune Technology!) which sounds a quick tone each time you put them on to customize the sound to your ears at that exact time! Bose noise cancellation here I think is their best ever. Via the app you can choose Quiet Mode, hear your surroundings in Aware Mode, and engage in full noise cancellation and Bose Immersive Audio using the Immersion Mode. Battery power should give up to 6 hours of listening time (up to 4 with Immersive Audio), The charging case offers 3X recharge for a total of 24 w/o Immersive mode or 16 hours of listening with it. You’ll learn a lot more on this week’s show. MSRP: $299.00. There were 3 brand new over-the-ear headphones introduced too.

Chad’s brand new gadget is the iPhone 15Pro Max!
Here’s are just a few features of the phone listed on the web:
New Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max. Aerospace-grade titanium design, making it both strong and light. USB-C connector. All-day battery life up to 29hrs video playback. 48MP main camera with multiple focal lengths, like having seven pro lenses in your pocket. Telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Customizable Action button for your favorite feature. A17 Pro chip, pro-class GPU with 6 cores.
And Chad’s take: On this week’s show Chad gives a super demo on this new phone. He is wildly impressed with the 5X zoom lens which he uses to shoot photos of alligators. Yes, real live alligators. After all, Chad now lives in Florida! He points many other features too and even mentions the possible ‘heat’ issue with the iPhone. The model 15Pro Max Chad bought has a MSRP $1199.99.

Did The Giz Wiz Get Hosed?
Two dock boxes in my backyard were really caked with crud. So I bought the High Pressure Power Washer Spray Nozzle Garden Hose Wand on Amazon to clean things up! The description said: Includes 2 Nozzles: a jet stream and a fan spray. You can change the water spraying method to meet your different needs. It can meet the needs of washing cars, trucks, floors, cleaning windows and watering gardens. Pressure is related to domestic water pressure, no electricity and no power is required, better meet your needs. So did it actually blast dirt away from tires, cars, outdoor furniture, etc.? I tried in my backyard on two very dirty large dock boxes. Watch this week’s show to see this ‘power washer’ in use! It was under $18.00 on 9/29/23.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for September. That winning theme is Cheap Gadgets To Use In A Hotel.
Chad’s final Cheap Hotel Gadget is the STEAM CLIP said to be the only travel tool in the world designed from the ground up for steaming away wrinkles on all types of hotel shower doors. PLUS it’s a multi-tool for travelers with EXTRA FEATURES you will actually use.
And Chad’s take: Chad thought this was the most useful ‘hotel gadget’ of all the ones he showed this month. Not only can it hold a garment while you use the hotel steam iron, because it also works as a bottle opener, smartphone stand, thread/tag cutter, mini-ruler, extra hook around the hotel room and a way to keep a jacket or purse off the floor in the airport. Chad paid under $13.00 on Amazon.

The video below is a minute and a half or so of what Chad can expect if a Cat4 hurricane comes toward Orlando. This was the height of Hurricane Ian. This went on for hours.

I have one thing left that needs to be fixed. It’s the pool cage, which is not covered by insurance.
I catch the show when I can. Say “Hi to the chatroom” Thank you.
