With COP26 underway, the environmental crisis is once again being highlighted. The future looks bleak unless we make some significant changes. Consumer electronics are one of the many problematic areas. Most things nowadays are not designed to be repairable, everything is made of plastic, and many devices have difficult to dispose of lithium batteries. This…
The FRITZ!Box 7530 AX is one of the first WiFi 6 routers from AVM FRITZ!Box. To make things a little confusing, they have retained the same model number as the WiFi 5 AVM FRITZ!Box 7530 but added the AX extension associated with WiFi 6. As you might have guessed, this is therefore essentially the same…
As always with Pixel phones, one of the highlights is the camera performance. This is probably my favourite phone of the year for the camera performance, it is not just good, but consistent. If you are not fussed about the zoom lens, you get the same camera performance for the much cheaper Pixel 6, which…
The advent of streaming services such as Netflix has resulted in a rise in the number of cord-cutters. According to a report, “the number of true cord-cutters accelerated in 2020. By the end of last year, 50 million US homes no longer had a cable, satellite, or telco TV subscription.” Not to mention it also…
I have previously reviewed the Cycle Desk Bike V9 Pro, which I found to be an excellent way to improve your overall activity levels while either working or just relaxing. That model came with its own desk, allowing you to work off a laptop while cycling. However, if you already have a sit-stand desk, you…
Last month, Netgear announced the £1500 quad-band RBKE960 Orbi Mesh WiFi 6E System. Yesterday they continued their roll of premium-priced networking gear with the announcement of Netgear Orbi NBK752, which is a tri-band mesh WiFi 6 system with a 5G modem built-in, for the bargain price of £1099.99. Spending a grand on a mesh system…
With Christmas quickly approaching, many of us will be looking for a thoughtful present to give to our loved ones. All the options from Aura Frames make a particularly good choice as they all allow you to pre-setup the frames and upload photos prior to gifting. This makes them much more thoughtful and personal than…
Last month Anker Soundcore came out with the surprise announcement of the Soundcore Frames, a pair of Bluetooth audio glasses with interchangeable lenses. Only a small number of companies have launched such a product, and the Soundcore Frames get off to a good start with both a simple and genius design of interchangeable front frames….
The Soundpeats H1 Premium are a new pair of earbuds that are a minor update to the existing Soundpeats H1, which have been on Amazon for around 6 months. The only difference between these two earbuds seems to be the inclusion of an AI Voice Assistant. This is a relatively short review as I had…
I don’t really follow the tech trends for Christmas lighting, but it turns out Twinkly the Philips Hue of Christmas tree lights. The Twinkly range of lighting provides full smart control of your lighting and unlimited design options mapped to how you have placed your own lights. Twinkly has been expanding into more mainstream smart…
Carrying around USB cables when you are out and about can be frustrating. Best case scenario, you fork out for a 0.3cm cable on Amazon and inevitably lose it. That’s also just one cable, what happens if you need a lightning cable? It may seem like a niche scenario, but I quite frequently take out…
Earlier this week, Qualcomm relatively quietly announced three new chipsets. The Snapdragon 778G+, Snapdragon 695 and Snapdragon 480+. It is mostly a forgettable announcement following the similar routine we have seen from both Qualcomm and MediaTek the past couple of years. Very minor refreshes of existing chipsets. Qualcomm has announced so many chipsets this year…
