I am a huge animal lover, but historically, I have not been that interested in birds. Living in a UK coastal town, my experience of birds is largely defined by seagulls, which are a menace most of the time. But I have started to grow fond of birds, including trying to befriend the magpies that…
I have been impressed with the last couple of docks from Startech. Back in December, I reviewed the Startech 140W Universal Triple Monitor Docking Station, which has DisplayLink, allowing you to use three external monitors even if the CPU on your laptop does not. Then the Startech Thunderbolt 5 Universal Docking Station is one of…
UGREEN has released a new lineup of compact charging accessories under the Nexode and MagFlow Air Editions banner. The range comprises two wall chargers and two magnetic power banks, all built around reducing size and weight without reducing output. The products became available on 13 May 2026. What Is in the Range The Air Editions…
It has been a while since I reviewed a monitor that is not a portable monitor, and even longer since I reviewed any professional-grade monitor. I am not a creative person myself, so I don’t have much use for professional colour accurate monitors, but I do work in IT support and ran a web design…

The fan offers Bluetooth connectivity, app control, Matter support via a compatible SwitchBot hub, a built-in rechargeable battery, and a modular…
Verbatim is not a brand you hear much about nowadays, but it used to be one of the main players in the world of optical media. They have changed hands a couple of times, with Mitsubishi taking ownership in 1990, before being sold to CMC Magnetics, another specialist in optical media. With the decline of…
I originally wrote this post back in 2021, when my top recommendation was the Yale Linus Smart Lock. It was a great lock at the time, but not something I would recommend now, and it has been superseded by the Yale Linus Smart Lock L2. In the years since, a lot of amazing options have…
I originally wrote this post back in 2022, and it was looking very out of date. Additionally, over the past couple of years, I have started working at an MSP providing IT support to companies that often require dual-WAN routers for failover. Since starting that job, I migrated my entire network to Unifi, which our…
