If you take your online security seriously, and you should, I would strongly advise investing in a hardware-based security key for 2-factor authentication. Phone-based authentication is not always perfect and for many, if someone gains access to your Google account, the results can be disastrous. Today, Yubico, the leading provider of hardware authentication security keys,…
It looks like the wearables hall will be buzzing with activity at IFA this year based the rumours and leaks that have been revealed recently. The Misfit Vapor X is the only confirmed watch, and they are owned by the Fossil Group so it should be at the show this year. Most companies will be…

Back when the Samsung Galaxy S10 launched, there was a notable difference between the two chipsets used inside it. The Exynos 9820 was fabricated on the 8nm process while the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 uses a 7nm FinFET. This is one of the possible causes of the Exynos 9820 based S10 having a considerably lower battery…

While 4K has become the go-to resolution for TVs, it is less popular with PC gaming, likely due to the performance requirements. As PC performance caught up to the demands of 4K, ultrawide has taken off. While I have positively reviewed ultrawide monitors by Philips and Acer in the past I have mostly been indifferent…

It is a fantastic switch, and it turns out SFP is no more confusing than copper ethernet. However, 10GbE over copper is becoming more popular…
Multi-gigabit ethernet is finally starting to become more mainstream, at the same time with Wi-Fi 6 it is also possible to achieve multi-gig on a wireless network. While 10GbE is becoming more popular, it is still painfully expensive. 10GbE RJ45 is particularly costly. Netgear has some of the cheapest options on the market, but the…
Another day, another Garmin leak. This time from serial leaker Roland Quandt who is generally regarded as very reliable. This leak backs previous information the Vivoactive 4 will arrive at IFA. He leaks also do not mention the Fenix 6, which backs my suspicion that the flagship device will not be launching at the end…
If you like RGB, it is safe to say Thermaltake has a product to suit your needs. Their range of fans is an excellent example of this, looking on Amazon there are six different 120mm three packs, and five 140mm three packs, plus five packs and single fans. They all do more or less the…
