    Best place to sell used tech & electronics?

    I've accumulated soooo many "devices" over the years. Many of the devices I'll probably never sell, purely out of nostalgia (T-Mobile G1, Motorola XOOM, Google Glass, Palm Pre etc...), but others I'm needlessly holding onto for no reason (unused chromebooks, tablets, phones, 360 cameras, OG HTC...

    CES 2024: Biggest Announcements & Coolest Stuff

    It's another year of CES (here's the schedule)! The Consumer Electronics Show happens EVERY year in Las Vegas and this year it's January 9th to 12th (although media events started on January 7th). I'll be posting some of my favorite things on the EBC homepage but would love to see links...

    what makes a post or thread "hot"????

    I don't disagree. Losing channels really hurts. Working on alternatives but it ain't an easy solution- happy to hear suggestions.

    what makes a post or thread "hot"????

    The "HOT" tab is part of an add-on by Audentio called "Feeds" and honestly, I'm not 100% sure what algo is used to select what's hot and what's not. I think if we had more activity on the forums it would be kind of like Reddit's homepage where the more active/liked/viewed stuff floats to the...

    Acreage Calculations

    This is a problem perfectly suited for ChatGPT. It concluded that "the area of your triangular RV lot is approximately 2,533.62 square feet. When converted into acres, it is about 0.058 acres." Can you doodle us the plot so we know we've got the shape right? EDIT: RobGPT snoozed and losed!

    Will AI allow our loved ones to “live on” in a sense?

    This is fascinating! I followed an NFT Project that promised something similar. Basically you could create a "pod" of yourself that could live on. The more you communicate, the better it learns you, and essentially you built an avatar that lives on long past your death. In reality, with enough...

    this happened when the URL changed

    Is it possible you need to whitelist both forum.earlybird.club AND earlybird.club? I updated that nav to point to the main site so it isn't forum specific now.

    Category descriptions need updates

    I did a bit of work on the Forum list this AM: https://forum.earlybird.club/forums/-/list "Welcome to the Club!" is now at the top and includes Announcements, Introductions, etc... Apps & Software moved to the top of "Tech Products" Description for Tech Products updated to remove archaic...

    Help Android Mobile Game for Kids: need your honest feedback please

    You should consider adding a gameplay video to your Google Play Store listings... it's hard to get a feel for the game based purely on the screenshots. I think you could entice more people to download if they can actually watch some action and see what the game is like to play.

    Samsung Acquires Roon Audio Platform (via HARMAN)

    If you're wondering what "Roon" does: Seems to me like they're probably acquiring the team and the tech to eventually bake into their Smart Home ecosystem. I hadn't actually heard of Roon before, to be honest. Anyone have experience?

    LG to Present Innovative Solutions for a Better Life at CES 2024

    I'm actually excited for CES again... it's been awhile. Future Vision 2030 coupled with AI could be very interesting. I think most likely it'll be conceptual videos of the possibilities of tech & AI, probably including VR given the "Vision" name and considering everyone chases Apple (Apple...

    this happened when the URL changed

    I think it *may* be the .club extension. I still haven't fully "fixed" a lot of the logistical stuff that may indicate to Google the change is intentional vs. unintentional. Need to look at that more closely and get it all ironed out this week. Hopefully flipping some switches will do the trick...

    A Conversation With the Makers of the Galaxy SmartTag2

    Anyone have a Galaxy Smart Tag? I used to have Tile back in the day but when it ran out of battery, I never renewed it. Curious what the best options are now for device tracking accessoires.

    Would Affiliate Links be a Good way for the Forum to Make Money?

    This is great idea (thanks!), but also could be confusing... If a user sees the word "Samsung" and it has a link, would you expect it to link to Samsung.com using an affiliate link, or Samsung content on the forum? If too many words are affiliated into links it could appear very spammy very...

    Black Friday & Cyber Monday: How Dumb Have They Become?

    What in the heck have Black Friday and Cyber Monday become? Black Friday "sales" started weeks early this year Many products are marked way up purely to show huge savings Cyber Monday deals started on Saturday Cyber Monday "deals" are the same as Black Friday deals... they just did a "Find &...

    When the dev disappeared I had more to do than I could handle. Used ChatGPT to build the Wordpress site myself and I know diddly about developing. You'll notice most of the actual content is placeholders but the *system* is mostly built. So yeah, the forum stuff got put 100% hold, because...

    Black Friday and Cyber Monday

    Will "Cyber Monday" deals be any different than the weeks long Black Friday deals out there? I haven't noticed things fluctuate much. I'm curious if we'll see some very different/specific opportunities for Cyber Monday but I feel like it will mostly be a "last chance to shop savings" kinda...

    Welcome to the Flock: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club!

    It was an amazing 15+ year run at AndroidForums.com… but today is the dawn of a new era. Android Forums became one of the largest websites on the PLANET by building a community of tech early adopters that loved tracking, testing, and discussing the best new tech. For over a decade, Android...
