Anyone wanting to get into mining Helium (HNT) has no doubt been incredibly frustrated by the lack of availability of the Helium Hotspots from all the suppliers, including Nebra, Rak, Bobcat and SyncroB.It. Much like the current GPU shortage, manufacturers have been suffering from a shortage of chips, primarily due to the ongoing Covid pandemic….
While Mediatek is quick to release new chipsets, manufacturers have been glacially slow at launching the high-end option in the western market. While Mediatek has launched the Dimensity 1000, 1000u, 1100 and 1200, the highest spec we have seen is the mid-range Dimensity 800 on the OPPO Reno 4 Z. It is a good chipset…
The Asus Zenfone series has generally been superb but not very well marketed. The Asus ZenFone 6 launched too late in the year with almost no marketing behind it (that I was aware of), and I am not sure if ZenFone 7 saw an official UK launch. This year, Asus has launched two variants, the…

[Update] I was provided with some feedback regarding certain parts of the review which I think are worth including. Key points include that the 2.5″ drives are less noisy so can be used in a living environment without bothering people. While most NAS drives have remote access functionality, Amber is focussing on making remote functionality…
I have previously written a post on upgrading my Helium Hotspot with the MikroTik LoRa 6.5dBi Omni Antenna. When it comes to Helium antennas, a 5.8dBi variant can be an interesting option to explore. Generally speaking, the ‘dBi’ rating indicates the antenna’s gain—essentially, how well the antenna can focus energy in a particular direction. A…
Update – it is now peaking at around $0.00003 – A 76% growth since I posted this article The world of investing and cryptocurrency have gone insane this year.

The Yale Linus Smart Lock has been my favourite smart lock I reviewed so far, and it is the first lock I have committed to on my main front door (though I use the Ultion Smart Lock on the back door). While all the smart locks I have reviewed have been good (including the Connexis…
