[SURFACE DUO 2 REVIEW] The Surface Duo 2 is built to help you do a lot of things at once. And for tech reviewers, there is no busier time than the month so insane we gave it a new name: "Techtober." So to see just how well this new Duo does (or doesn’t do) at helping me keep my head on straight, I decided to take a page out of my buddy TheUnlockr’s book and take you along for part of an atypical Techtober day in Brooklyn. I'm Michael Fisher; join me and my friend David Cogen for a day in Dumbo -- on the Surface Duo 2! [SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...

A few days after Gov. Mike Parson accused a St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter of hacking a state website, hundreds of Sinclair Broadcast Group television stations fell victim to a ransomware attack.

We’ll talk about how the company’s communications team is responding to another set of leaked documents.

[SURFACE LAPTOP STUDIO REVIEW] I learned something about myself this week – and tell me if you think it applies to you as well. When it comes to my tech, I like devices that change state.  A wearable camera whose remote turns into a tripod (Insta360 Go2); a drone that collapses to be carried (DJI Mavic Air); a phone that converts into a tablet, or a pocket square (Samsung Galaxy Fold / Flip). To me, tech is at its most exciting when it can physically change based on my needs at the time. Microsoft is no stranger to that approach, having kicked out three generations of its Surface Book over the past half decade or so – and I’ve just spent a week with the convertible that replaces it. On today’s MrMobile video, Michael Fisher reviews the Surface Laptop Studio, a Windows 11 PC that can transform into your digital drafting table … or a top-notch YouTube tablet ... when it’s not busy bring a (pretty pricey) conventional laptop.
