What Will AI Kill Next? Plus a Gadget That Can See Through Walls! #808

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #808 hosted by Don Baine.
What Will AI Kill Next? Plus a Gadget That Can See Through Walls!

This week on The Gadget Professor Show, we take a quick peek at “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, and some of his predictions about the businesses and industries that AI could make obsolete over the next 10 years.

I agree with a lot of what he has to say—but I disagree with his timeline. Ten years? I think we could see some of these changes in just 3–5 years! AI is moving that fast.

Then it’s time for our Gadget of the Week, and this is one of those inexpensive gadgets that you may think you don’t need…until suddenly you REALLY need it!

We’re taking a look at the endoscope/borescope inspection camera—a tiny camera on the end of a long flexible cable that lets you see into places your eyes simply can’t reach.

What’s behind that wall? What’s inside that pipe? What’s underneath the floor? What’s hiding inside an engine compartment? Drop something somewhere you can’t reach? This little gadget can become your electronic eyes.

And this week, I had a very real reason to use one.

Arizona was hammered by an absolutely massive monsoon storm—one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. With water getting where it definitely didn’t belong, a borescope can help investigate what’s happening inside walls and other inaccessible spaces without immediately tearing everything apart.

Sometimes the best gadgets aren’t the expensive ones. They’re the inexpensive tools sitting in a drawer that suddenly become invaluable when something goes wrong.

We’ll show you how it works, what you can do with it, and why you might want one in your own gadget toolbox.

All that and more on this week’s episode of THE GADGET PROFESSOR SHOW!

The Tiny Gadget That Makes Your Headphones Sound AMAZING! #807

Gadgets

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #807 hosted by Don Baine.

This week on The Gadget Professor, we’re looking at a little-known gadget that can make a BIG difference in the way you listen to music — the mobile headphone amplifier with a DAC.

Imagine taking the ordinary sound coming from your computer, smartphone, tablet, internet radio, or other audio source and transforming it into something richer, cleaner, more detailed, and far more exciting.

Today, we’re looking at the Questyle M15C Portable Headphone Amplifier and DAC.

This tiny device fits in the palm of your hand, but what it can do to your audio may surprise you. Connect your wired earbuds or headphones and the M15C converts and amplifies the audio signal, helping reveal detail, clarity, separation, and dynamics that can easily get lost with the audio circuitry built into everyday devices.

The result? Your ordinary listening experience can suddenly feel much closer to having a personal concert hall between your ears.

And you don’t necessarily need a $1,000 pair of audiophile headphones to appreciate the difference. Whether you’re using an inexpensive pair of wired earbuds or a serious set of professional audiophile headphones, a good DAC/headphone amplifier can breathe new life into your music.

Can this tiny gadget really make that much of a difference?

We’re going to plug it in, listen to it, and find out.

The FCC Is Going WILD! AI Bots Shut Down + Gadget of the Week #806

Gadgets

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #806 hosted by Don Baine.
The FCC Is Going WILD! AI Bots Shut Down + A Gadget You’ll Want in Your Toolbox!

This week on The Gadget Professor, we’re taking a look at some of the hottest—and strangest—developments happening in technology right now.

The FCC is going wild! New rules and restrictions are shaking up the gadget world, and they could have a real impact on some of the technology we buy and use.

Then there’s AI. ChatGPT, Claude and Grok suddenly experienced outages at roughly the same time. What happened? Was it a coincidence, or is there something more going on? We’ll take a look at what we know.

And, of course, we have our Gadget of the Week!

This week it’s the ATuMan RS1 24-in-1 Ratchet Screwdriver Set—a compact little tool that could quickly become one of your favorites.

With a ratcheting handle, extension rods and 24 interchangeable bits, it’s designed to tackle everything from electronics and appliances to furniture assembly and everyday household repairs. Its compact design also makes it especially handy when you need to get into those tight, hard-to-reach places.

If you do your own home projects, repairs, installations or assembly, this is one gadget you’ll definitely want to see.

Lots of gadgets, plenty of tech news, and a few surprises along the way—all on this week’s Gadget Professor!

The ATuMan model is indeed the RS1 24-in-1, and I verified the 24 bits, ratchet mechanism and extension rods with ATuMan. The simultaneous AI outages also occurred

You’re Using AI Wrong! This Simple Prompt Trick Gets MUCH Better Answers TGP# 805

Gadgets, Tech News

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #805 hosted by Don Baine.This Week on The Gadget Professor

Artificial Intelligence chatbots can be incredibly powerful—but the quality of the answer you get often depends on the quality of the prompt you give them.

This week on The Gadget Professor, we’re going to concentrate on some simple, useful tips that will help you get much better results from your favorite AI chatbots.

Creating the right prompt can sometimes be frustrating. What should you ask? How much information should you provide? What details really matter? And how do you get the AI to give you the answer you actually wanted?

I’ll show you an easy, repeatable method for creating effective prompts—without having to become an AI expert.

We’ll put the method to the test with a real-world example: finding the lowest airfare for an upcoming trip. I’ll show you how to turn a simple airfare question into a detailed, powerful prompt that instructs an AI chatbot to search for better fares, compare your options, identify the best travel dates, and help you avoid overpaying.

But this isn’t really a show about airline tickets. It’s about learning how to communicate with AI.

Once you understand this simple prompting technique, you can use the same approach for travel, shopping, research, product comparisons, troubleshooting, planning—and just about anything else you ask an AI chatbot.

Better prompts. Better answers. And potentially, a lot of money saved along the way.

Beyond YouTube + The Notebook You’ll Never Throw Away! #804

Gadgets

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #802 hosted by Don Baine.
This week on The Gadget Professor, we’re exploring some interesting alternatives to YouTube!

We’ll take a look at a number of different YouTube-like websites that can open the door to all kinds of interesting, entertaining, educational, and useful information. If you enjoy discovering new content on the Internet, you may be surprised at what’s available beyond YouTube.

Then it’s time for our Gadget of the Week — ROCKETBOOK!

I’ve been using Rocketbook digital notebooks for many, many years, and I still find them incredibly useful.

Rocketbook gives you the convenience of writing on paper while bringing your handwritten notes into the digital world. You can write notes, draw diagrams, make lists, scribble ideas, doodle — basically anything you would normally put on paper — and then quickly digitize and organize it.

But this isn’t ordinary paper.

The special Rocketbook pages are reusable, so when you’re finished with your notes, you can wipe the pages clean and use the notebook again and again. With proper care, a Rocketbook can last for years.

Rocketbook also uses a clever system of symbols and QR technology that works with the Rocketbook app to help you scan, organize, and send your handwritten material to digital destinations.

It’s simple, useful, reusable, environmentally friendly — and surprisingly affordable.

I’ll show you exactly how Rocketbook works and why, after using these notebooks for years, I’m still using them today.

Gadgets

Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #803 hosted by Don Baine.

This week on The Gadget Professor, we’re diving into the exciting world of 360° video!

First, we’ll take a look at Insta360’s newest 360 camera, the X6. If you’ve never experienced what a 360 camera can actually do, I’ll show you some real 360° footage I recorded last week while I was in Edinburgh, Scotland. It’s pretty cool stuff—and a great example of why 360 cameras are so much fun to use.

Then, we’ll check out the mouth-watering new video Insta360 released today, showcasing the X6 and some of its latest features and capabilities.

And that’s not all!

I’ll also introduce you to HandBrake, one of the most popular video compression programs available today—and best of all, it’s 100% FREE.

If you have large video files taking up too much space or you need to shrink a video so it’s easier to store, transfer, or play on another device, HandBrake can make a huge difference.

I’ll show you a simple, super-fast way to use HandBrake without getting bogged down in all those confusing settings.

360° cameras, incredible footage from Edinburgh, the new Insta360 X6, and a terrific FREE video tool—all on this week’s Gadget Professor!
