Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #783 hosted by Don Baine.
🚨 This Week on Gadget Professor 🎙️
This week, we dive into the surprising shutdown of SORA — what really happened, why it may be more permanent than expected, and the big question: will something step in to take its place? And… is it actually still working in any form? 🤔
Plus, we shift gears and take a closer look at Mixtiles. I’ve been using them for years, and I have to say—they continue to impress. From top-notch print quality to consistently excellent customer service, they’ve earned a permanent spot on my wall (and in my recommendations).
👉 Don’t miss this episode—tech news, real insights, and a product that actually delivers.

🎬 This Week on The Gadget Professor Show…
We’re back with Part 2 of our special series on Travel Tech Essentials!
If you travel for business, pleasure — or like me — a little bit of both — you know that bringing the right gear can make all the difference.
This week, I’m going to show you exactly what tech gear I personally take with me when I travel. No guesswork. No fluff. Just real-world, field-tested equipment that I rely on 100%.
If you’re planning to shoot video, create compelling reels, capture stunning photos, or document your adventures for clients or social media — having the right tools is imperative.
But here’s the challenge…
You don’t want to overpack.
You don’t want to carry unnecessary weight.
And you definitely don’t want to leave behind something critical.
So how do you decide what camera to bring?
Which accessories are must-haves?
What can safely stay home?
If you’ve ever stood in front of your gear table thinking, “What do I really need?” — then this episode is definitely for you.
Let’s simplify travel tech and make sure you’re prepared — without packing the entire studio.
I’m Don Baine, The Gadget Professor…
And it’s time to get started!
Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #773 hosted by Don Baine.
This week on The Gadget Professor Show, we’re diving into some of the most exciting technology I saw on the show floor at Consumer Electronics Show.
Out of hundreds of new products, three devices stood out as real contenders—innovative, practical, and with a very strong chance of being extremely successful in the year ahead.
Then, we take a deep dive into one of the most talked-about devices I tested—the Looki L1.
We’ll explore exactly what types of media it can output, how flexible it really is, and what that means for creators, professionals, and everyday users.
If you want real-world insight, hands-on analysis, and a clear look at which technologies actually matter, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The Gadget Professor Show #768 hosted by Don Baine.
Welcome to this week’s edition of The Gadget Professor Show — your source for the latest, greatest, and sometimes strangest innovations in the world of technology!
This week we’re catching up on a wave of significant tech news that’s been breaking across the industry, and there is a LOT to talk about.
We’ll kick things off with the brand-new DJI Neo 2, DJI’s latest pocket-sized powerhouse that’s already generating major buzz with its upgraded imaging capabilities and smarter autonomous features. Then we shift gears to an important consumer update — the IRS is tightening its grip on digital income reporting, and if you sell, stream, or freelance online, these changes could impact you directly. We’ll explain what’s happening and what you need to know.
Next up, we take a look at the ultra-rugged DOOGEE Iron Brick phone, a device built like a tank and aimed at people who need a smartphone that survives what normal phones can’t. And if you thought that was big news, get ready — Adobe is adding Photoshop-level features directly into ChatGPT, opening the door to an entirely new generation of AI-powered creativity and editing workflows. This one is worth paying attention to.
And of course… we’ve got a whole lot more: gadgets, gear, industry shifts, and a few surprises along the way.
So sit back, relax, and get ready — it’s time for this week’s Gadget Professor Show!
As always, the program wraps up with free app recommendations and a look ahead at emerging gadget trends for late 2025.
