I just got my machine a month ago off facebook. Is there any way to transfer the warrenty to me? When I tried ro register, it said it was already registered

Greetings my fellow INAIR and tech enthusiasts! Tech Check 13 is back and we want to welcome you to part deuce of our series on cloud storage for the INAIR POD. We are still flying around the rabbit hole of the near endless supply of cloud storage apps. Thank you for joining us on our quest to find the worthiest cloud storage service as we filter out the ones deserving to be carbon frozen and jettisoned into deep space. There are so many cloud storage apps that this quest could go on for quite a while. All apps can be found on the Google Play Store.

As usual, these apps were dissected, interrogated, and analyzed on the INAIR POD, using a Viture Beast and Xreal One Pro. And our usual disclaimer: None of these apps sponsored this post. With that out of the way, buckle up, set your engines for hyperspace and letsa go.

Today our first stop in our search for worthiness is Filen. We downloaded the app from the app store and fired it up. First thing is first, one has to make an account (no login with Google) and activate it via an email link. Once verification was completed and we logged in, Filen asked to export our master keys just in case a cloud recovery became necessary. This was easier to do than falling down a reactor shaft.

Once inside the app there was a big add button and not much of anything else. Kinda barebones but there is still a lot to mine.

Filen is set up similar to Google Drive. Only real difference; Filen gives you 10 GB of free storage, while Google Drive gives you 15 GB.

Now it's time for the test drive. A test folder was created, the movie SoulM8te was uploaded and we let Filen do its thing. The 1.6 GB file took about 5 minutes. Not a bad parsec run. But here's the real shocker, about 4 minutes into the upload, we realized we had not been ambushed with an ad or a paywall! Oh yeah!!! While the file was uploading, Filen displayed a percentage bar with the MiB/s upload speed. Also a nice touch.

Once the upload had finished we opened the file and hit play. And… glitch. The movie played but without any sound. However, this was most likely user error, so we weren't ready to throw Filen out the airlock just yet.We tried again with a second movie, this time using an MP4 file format instead of MKV. It played and sounded perfectly. You can upload and play video files within the app itself.

While Filen may be a little barebones, it is still quite a great app. We were actually pretty impressed with it. The interface is simple, the upload speeds were respectable, and most importantly, we made it through the entire test without being bombarded with ads or upgrade requests. That is a refreshing trip through cloud storage city. Verdict: Worthy. But the most worthy? Time will tell.

Our second stop, TeraBox: 1TB Cloud & AI Space.

It all started easy enough. The first thing that pops up is the "log in with Google" button that makes signing up pretty easy. Immediate first complaint; you can't switch the view because it's clearly made for a phone. Can that be overlooked, or is it some foreshadowing?

Let's get into the guts of this app. TeraBox advertises 1024 gigs of storage. That's a pretty big promise, but will it deliver?

After logging in, you're immediately hit with a "do you want to back up photos and videos automatically" prompt. The video says "limited time free," the first indication of the expected paywalls. Yea I'll just automatically back up my photos and videos just to lose access to them if I don't pay. Kinda sounds like blackmail in my opinion. And before you can catch your breath we get an ad. It offers 2TB of storage for $4.99 a month with a 30 day trial. Thankfully, there is a skip button in the top right-hand corner.

But wait. What's this dropping out of the clouds ... ANOTHER AD! And then the real betrayal. Apparently, in 30 days, 994 of the 1024 gigs of storage quietly expire, or you can pay $0.99 a month to keep it. Yup, they used a massive bait and switch to get you to sign up just to take it away from you. Somewhere there is a certain dark cloaked sith Lord nodding approvingly. Other cloud storage apps, such as Filen may offer less storage space but at least they're not freezing your gigabytes to extort you later.

Finally get we into the app, and I'm greeted with "AI

web." search and … yup .. three more ads. This app is frustrating and at this point we have the airlock open and a finger on the jettison button.

Then we discover TeraBox runs on a coin economy. You watch more ads, play games or install other apps to earn coins. Those coins can then be used to unlock premium days, although they expire rather quickly. And, naturally, most of the useful features are locked behind a paywall. Stay away from this app. This one gets jettisoned into space. Verdict: Not worthy.

On to our third stop and final app of the evening: Cloud Storage Drive Backup App.

With 500+ downloads, a 4.1 star rating and self description claiming to be a secure, encrypted cloud storage solution, it seemed worth a look.

Cloud Storage Drive Backup was downloaded, installed and powered up. Then BAM, an immediate ambush. A paywall ad for more storage came flying right at us. We were able to swipe back off that with the touch part of the POD. Problem solved, right? Nope. We had to swipe off SEVEN MORE FREAKING ADS JUST TO GET INTO THE APP!?!?! And just when you thought you were done swiping, an ad to win more storage smashes you on the eyeballs. But finally we were in the app. Now it's time to see what this thing is made of. Heck, after all those ads we earned it.

On the free plan you get 25 gigs, which is better than most competitors offer. And of course there are two ads on the page. A click on anything and it runs through an ad circle again. There were more ads than Bespin had flatulence. At this point, we weren't testing cloud storage anymore. We were testing our ability to survive an ad apocalypse. This one gets jettisoned into space using the middle finger. Verdict: Most definitely NOT worthy.

Well revellers, we hope you enjoyed this leg of the adventure as much as we have enjoyed it. So far our contenders are Google Drive and Filen, but there are tons of cloud storage apps floating around out there. We will review what we can here and on our YouTube channel. If there are any cloud storage apps you use with the POD or would like to see us review, let us know in the comments. As always, thank you again for riding along with us. Until next time - this is Tech Check 13, signing off. We hope to see you in the next one.

Just to let everyone know, the Beast does work with the Fold 8. It launches straight into DEX

Greetings my fellow INAIR and tech enthusiasts! Tech Check 13 is back and we have once again drifted into the upper atmosphere. We dove eye brow deep into another rabbit hole! Gawd lawd... again? Yup

"So, what corner of the galaxy y'all exploring this time?" Glad you asked.

One of our biggest gripes is the need for more storage on the POD. It fills up faster than a hoover behind a shedding wookie. Since we can't magically force create more storage, we decided on the next best thing: cloud storage on the POD. All tests were done with the INAIR POD, VITURE Beast, and Xreal One Pro glasses. And all of today's apps can be found on the app store.Today we start with the golden oldies. Let's begin:

Our first port of call is the grandfather of all cloud storage and that is Google Drive.

Google Drive comes free with any Google account and a link is pre-installed on the POD. You get 15 gigs of storage on the house. But beware, your Google photos, videos, Gmail and your android phone backup data (including app data, contacts, call history and text messages) counts toward your Google free account storage limit. All this data can fill up the 15 gigs rather quickly. The 15 gigs can be expanded with a paid Google One subscription. They offer paid plans from 100 gigabytes to two terabytes for personal users. They also offer up to five terabytes for business users. This is a simple and convenient way to store, organize, and share your files while you stay firmly in the captain's chair giving you full control over who can access them.

For an extra tech tip, we highly recommend downloading Files by Google. It works as a great manager for Drive. It makes it easy to find, organize, move, and manage your files without wandering through a digital asteroid field.

Next up on our cloud hopping adventure is an oldie but …. Maybe not a goodie: Dropbox

Dropbox is a cloud storage app that offers a free basic plan of 8 GB of cloud storage. There are paid plans from 500 GB to 2 TB, for those who want a bigger stake in the operation. One thing we do appreciate is that you're not having a storage war competing for control of the space with an email inbox, phone data and all the rest. The app is clean and easy to use.

Now for the turbulence.

The moment we signed in with Google, it felt like we'd wandered into a swarm of ad droids. From the second we were logged in with Google, BOOM we were hit with an ad to upgrade. Then another ad before we even made it back to the site's interface. We just walked through the door! But that wasn't the real betrayal. After logging back in, a large portion of our stored data had been deleted because it exceeded the free storage limit. Not cool Dropbox, I got a warning to log in cause I was over and I directly logged in and the data was already gone. Between the relentless ambush of ads and the unexpected massive data loss, Dropbox gets a firm "Nope" from the Tech Check 13 crew. We'll be parking this one in the scrapyard and moving on to friendlier skies.

Our final stop brings us to final cloud of the day and the one cloud service I am not a fan of: OneDrive.

Ever since Windows 11, removing OneDrive from a new computer takes much too much effort. It pops up ads, backs up things I never asked it to, and then whines about running out of storage because it decided to do something stupid like deciding my entire desktop belonged in the cloud. Maybe Android OS on the POD will be a better experience... Wrong.

Getting logged in was an adventure all by itself. It wouldn't let me put in the code to sync. The workaround was to move the cursor to the Second number, then back to the first, and I was finally in. But then I was immediately greeted by a huge ad to buy a 50 GB Microsoft 365 plan. I hit the back arrow, only to be ambushed by another ad, this time offering a 1 TB Microsoft 365 Personal subscription for $9.99 a month. Thanks, but no thanks, hard pass. After finally getting past the gauntlet of ads, I found about 3 GB of old photos it had quietly backed up over the years. Mining through my files, I was surprised when I stumbled on a list of my passwords just sitting there wide open, like someone left the communication comms unencrypted. Talk about betrayal, again. I deleted the files, uninstalled the app, and called the experiment done.

We want to thank you for joining us on this leg of the journey. We got the vintage cloud storage apps out of the way, but there are plenty more systems left to explore. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, tell us what cloud storage apps are you contemplating? Let us know in the comments, and we will review them too. We want the dirt on your cloud adventures - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Tell us everything. As always, the communication frequencies are wide open.

Again, thank you for joining us, and we will see you in the next one.

Anything else I'm missing and should pick up? Payday is right around the corner so I am looking

Lemme know!

Hello and welcome, INAIR and Tech enthusiasts! We are back again and swapping out the tech tools for an apron and a slow cooker. Today we are thinking outside the POD taking it in a new direction, to the realm of the unusual uses: Cooking with the POD. You read right, we are cooking up new and unusual uses for the INAIR POD and AR glasses. Pun intended, no regrets. For this feast,  we used the POD and a pair of Viture Beast. No apps sponsored this post. So pull a chair up to the table and let's dig in. 

Part 1: Getting the Recipe and Planning the Meal.

First, dive into the app store on the POD, download and install ReciMe: Recipes & Meal Planner. We gave it a proper taste test, a trial run of ReciMe. Fair warning: this one isn't free, it'll cost you some dough. But it does have a really yummy feature that makes it worth the dough. It can import recipes straight from other websites and social media.When setting up the app, click the free trials. While there are lots of paywalls, there is a free mode that works pretty well, even if they do try to hide it. 

The first step required making an account. For this we used Google login to get through the kitchen door. ReciMe has a discovery section where you can search for pretty much any kind of recipe you could crave and it'll land right on your countertop. However, we wanted to really knead this app, see what it's made of and test the import function. We reached into the bread basket and pulled out a side of Google search in a second window on the POD. A quick order was placed for a recipe for pot roast. The first link that was served (it was Delish and a hardy thank you for the hospitality) was copied and imported straight into ReciMe.

The app immediately dishes up the necessary ingredients and gives an option to save it to a personal cookbook. A most scrumptious feature. Right below the ingredients list, the steps for the recipe were laid out like a smorgasbord - providing easy to follow directions. Nutrition facts about the recipe were also on the menu, but that sits behind a paywall. 

Now on to the next course, getting our groceries:

Once a recipe is saved, you can import the ingredients to your grocery list on the app and order them directly in the groceries section. No manual copying or searching through a store app required. From there a big ole "Order Online" button pops up showing stores in your neck of the woods. We opened Walmart.com with all the ingredients preselected and waiting in the cart, like a sous chef that did all the prep work. The order was placed and we sat back and waited for delivery, feet up and cold drink in hand. 

This app may have more paywalls than Ramsey has idiot sandwiches, but it's incredibly handy. I am a self confessed cheapskate but I may actually sign up for the trial of the paid version. This dish is that good.  

Well, we got through planning and grabbed our groceries, but what app will get us cooking? Tune in next week for part two of Cooking with the POD. We want to thank you for joining us and hope this has whet your appetite for more. As always leave us a comment below, let us know what you're cooking. Maybe share a strange recipe or lettuce know (yeah, we went there) what unusual uses you've found for the POD and / or AR glasses. This is our heartfelt invite for you to come back for the next one. Hope to see you at the table.

#TechCheck13

Greetings INAIR and tech enthusiasts!! Welcome back and a humble thank you for joining us once again for another hair (and beard) raising adventure. Today we're continuing our saga as we blast off into the next part of our remote apps series: Sunshine and Moonlight. Our test rig for these apps: Viture Beast, INAIR POD, and an Asus ROG Flow Z13.

Sunshine and Moonlight are a pair of apps that allow you to remote beam games or your desktop, even from a galaxy far far away. When you access your desktop, you get full command of your rebel base; you can access your entire computer. Sunshine runs the host server on your home rig, while Moonlight is your receiver on the INAIR POD. Let's get this remote streaming droid built.

The setup:

A simple Google search for "Sunshine Steam" led us right to GitHub. We downloaded and installed Sunshine on the ROG FLOW, our command center. Download and install, easy peasy, no jedi master required.

During set-up, it had us create a username and password for the web interface. Your personal access codes. But suddenly, (dramatic music) we got an “unsafe" warning on this. Don't panic and start firing your BlasTech DL-44 blaster all will nilly, just ignore the warning. The server will run just fine. The first hoop it made us jump through was installing ViGEmBus for controller support. Luckily there was a big "fix this" button, sitting there like an astromech droid. Punch it, it works perfectly.

Now on to Echo Base; we move to the POD. It's a simple Play Store download of Moonlight. Install and open it to pair with the computer. You will do so by clicking on your PC, which will be listed in Moonlight, and then entering the PIN that you previously set up. Think of it as your clearance code to get past the blast doors. You must be on the same Wi-Fi for initial pairing, no exceptions, no escapes on this one. From there, once you open Moonlight and with Sunshine running, you'll see your PC listed, ready and waiting like the Millennium Falcon on the launch pad.

Now there is also the Moonlight Internet Hosting Tool. Just download it from GitHub onto your base rig, install and you're ready for hyperspace. With Moonlight Internet Hosting Tool you will be able to access your Sunshine server through Moonlight on different networks from nearly any parsec. You'll need to follow the directions on your PC, but this program handles all the port forwarding automatically, no protocol droid needed. This is fantastic for remote desktop work and productivity and an absolute must if you want to game on the go. Even while retreating from the Galactic Empire.

A small warning here.

We have NOT tested this for screen burn-in on games like Cyberpunk or Fallout or anything that has a persistent HUD. Use Steam games that do use persistent HUD at your own risk. We've never seen a post about burn-in on the Beast, but we have on the cyberpunk edition. The last thing we want is for you to turn your glasses into a wall of frozen carbonite. Proceed with caution, we just don't want you to mess up your glasses. And wrapping up, one final note from the depths of Dagobah. You can right-click and send a Wake-on-LAN command to your PC. No Wakey needed. Just something to keep in mind.

Well, we hope enjoyed this you have, the second installment of remote apps series; an overview of Sunshine and Moonlight on the POD it is. Open, the communication frequencies are. Hear from you, we would love. Questions you have, in the comments leave them, mmm. As always we will strive to help and answer every one. Also ahare with us details of using this combo, the good and the bad. Have you successfully tried any other remote apps? What specific task did you use them for? Enquiring minds wanna know.

We want to thank you for checking out this article with us. We hope to see you in the next exciting episode as we scour the Galaxy to bring you tech news and info. May the force be with you.

Greetings INAIR and tech enthusiast. First off, our humble thanks to every one of you who answered the call and returned for Season 2!!

Now the moment you have been waiting for (drum roll), the next INAIR POD app battle, the venture into uncharted territory, to boldly go where no reddit has gone before, and revisit some from yne past) remote desktop apps. These little apps are your golden ticket to lightspeed productivity, letting you break free of the gravity well and extend your functionality far beyond the Android universe. This battle was fought and tested with a full squadron: the INAIR POD, a VITURE Beast, and an Asus ROG Flow.

Let's start with the easiest option for POD users, INAIR SPACE. This program comes preinstalled like a droid fresh off the assembly line and fairly easy to set up. First, I downloaded INAIR SPACE onto the Asus PC and powered it up. But warning, there's a small disturbance in the force when it comes to changing regions. Once it finishes installing, it demands you identify yourself to the Empire... er, I mean, log in with your phone number.

You do have to log in with your phone number. Once you sign in on your phone, change the region to global. From there, it'll ask you to log in with an email which is the new hope you were waiting for. This is what allows for cross network connections. Once set up is complete, connect with your POD, accept the connection to the PC and your cleared for hyperspace. Before takeoff make sure your mic on your PC is muted or your PC will pick up noise around it thru inair space. If the computer goes into sleep mode, there is a $49.99 accessory on INAIR's website called the Wakey, which allows for a wake-over-LAN connection.

Currently there is some lag but the software is constantly evolving, growing stronger with every patch. This issue is being actively hunted down by the development squad, and it improves with every update. With the newest update, a beta selection, the lag was virtually nonexistent. I was able to access my computer files with no problem, smooth as a clean hyperspace jump. But gaming was where things hit a bit of turbulence.

Using a controller paired with the POD, I was not able to control RetroArch or Steam. I know this app was built for productivity, but the ability to game would still be a welcome addition to the arsenal. That said, I could still play keyboard and mouse games just fine, as the touchboard fold connected to the POD worked perfectly to pilot Windows.

Well, folks, it's a heartfelt thank you from our entire crew for coming back to read this. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. We hope you'll join us for our next episode, "Sunshine/Moonlight Strikes Back."

We'll review the Sunshine and Moonlight apps, then follow it up with a detailed breakdown over on our YouTube channel. We'd love to see you at both!

Don't forget to comment below. Let us know your experiences with INAIR SPACE.

Have you used it for gaming? What is your favorite use for it?

What's the oddest mission you've sent it on?

And as always, hit us up any questions you may have.

Until we meet again. This is Tech Check 13 signing off.

#TechCheck13

There will not be the usual Sunday video as we are on season break

Want to thank everyone who tunes in to our articles and the youtube. We are on season break this week. See you next Thursday!!

Hello and welcome once again, INAIR and Tech enthusiasts. We've got another head-to-head match lined up for you today.The comments terrace has been chanting – "why not just use DeX?" – so we figured it was time to stop benching the debate and let both sides take the field. Today's magnificent matchup: INAIR OS vs. Samsung DeX. For pre-kickoff conditions we tested the INAIR POD and a Samsung Fold 7.

First off the scouting report. What is DeX? DeX is Samsung’s system that turns your phone or tablet into a first rate line up, desktop like mobile workstation. It gets called up whenever you link your mobile device to a second screen - an external monitor, TV, or PC either wired or wirelessly. All in the name of boosting productivity on the scoreboard. You can use your phone to control the mouse cursor with the push of a button, or bring in Bluetooth accessories like a keyboard or mouse to round out the squad. With DeX in the lineup, you can open apps in their own windows and resize them to make full use of the pitch. Windows will open similarly to a desktop computer. You can snap your screens to the middle, left, or right for a tidy formation that keeps everything organized.

However DeX comes up short in a few areas of the match. While a player can open apps in their own boxes with DeX, the POD lets you field six apps all running at once. This gives one a much bigger pitch to work with and way more screen real estate to spread out the attack.

In my opinion, another shortfall of DeX is storage. Using the PODs storage for movies and games instead of running my phone's precious storage ragged on the front line. This frees up roster space on my phone. And as we all are painfully aware, digital storage is costly.

And then there is the stamina issue. Running the phone’s OS like a midfielder trying to grind through a full game. With the phone os running, DeX trying to stretch the field into a full desktop, and powering the glasses is asking your battery to play every position at once. By halftime it's cramping up and hoping for dehydration breaks. Using the POD most definitely saves your phone’s battery.

Then there is also the AI 3D which is tough to get on phones. Getting 3D out of your phone is like asking a reserve goalie to also play striker. For us that is one of the main selling points. The POD enters the game strong, turning almost any movie, game, picture, app or even part of its OS into 3D. To be clear, the Fold 7 just doesn't have this in its playbook. Being able to game, look at pictures, and watch movies in 3D is a huge bonus point. It's like the kind of player worth buying the overpriced t-shirt for.

Then there is the referee no one asked for, the inevitable interruption when using your phone. Let's face it, as soon as the movie gets good or the production really starts flowing your mom's call comes whistling across the pitch like a major howler. Or worse, a spam text becomes a pitch invader popping up in the bottom right of your eyeballs. The POD allows you to play much smarter football (soccer in my woods). These intrusive invaders remain on your phone and you get to choose what gets to interrupt and let you stay in the game, so to speak..

So, is the POD worth the moolah? That call is up to you and your budget. As of this writing, INAIR has the POD on sale for $339.99 with a possible 20% off using the code pod20. Yea, you're welcome.

For us, it was worth the price of admission. We are die hard fans of 3D everything, season ticket holders for life. And it does save space on the phone for those embarrassing family photos. Battery saver, 3D, storage relief, the POD checked off every box on our team sheet. But if you don't want those features and have a ton of phone storage, maybe DeX is your tactical blueprint. No shame in playing a different formation. As for us, the POD is the better play and highly preferred over a phone / Dex.

Well tech fans, that's the final whistle but not quite the end of the game. Now it's your turn. Get in the game.The comment section is your pitch. We read every one of them. Don't just sit in the stands.Tell us which camp you fall in. Tell us what you like, don't like about the POD or what your setup looks like or if you've got any DeX and/or POD horror stories. As always, let us know of any formations or questions we didn't cover. Thank you for joining us. Be sure to tune in next week.
