I have recently covered several smart home products, and many of these use the Zigbee communication protocol. There is also the Z-Wave which I have covered extensively in the past, and then you have Thread which is an up-and-coming protocol. It can get confusing what the difference is between these technologies and which is best,…
Unlike every other brand that develops smart scales, Withings are not content with just one model for a smart scale. They have four options available in the UK, and this will expand to five later in the year with the launch of the new Withings Body Smart. Withings just seem to do things a bit…
While we associate CPUs, GPUs or chipsets with the likes of mobiles, PCs and laptops, there is a growing demand for them in a much wider range of applications. We are approaching a world of ubiquitous computing, where everything we use will have some sort of processor and network connectivity. Cars and automation are one…
With many people not carrying cash anymore, traditional wallets have fallen out of fashion. If you wear anything that is slim fitting, you really don’t want a huge wallet bulge. Back in 2017, when I was looking for a slimmer, more aesthetic wallet, I ended up getting Vaultskin City Slim Bifold wallet which has served…
The Nest WiFi Pro was announced back in October 2022. Google chose to skip WiFi 6 and jump straight to WiFi 6E, giving this router the new 6GHz band, which provides superior throughput for short range connectivity. Like the older Nest routers, this works as a mesh system and can be paired with other Nest WiFi…
I am in the middle of reviewing the Google Nest WiFi Pro. The main reason why I bought this router was that it could work with Matter and is a Thread border router. This section of the review ended up being longer than expected due to various issues, and therefore I decided to split it…
Following on from my previous ALLPOWERS April discount posts. The final deal they have is for one of their top models, the ALLPOWERS S2000 Portable Power Station. Like the other deals, you can get 20% off taking this one down to £880. It is also available on Amazon for around £900. As the same suggests,…
The new EnGenius ECW130 cloud-managed access point is a new access point aimed at being an affordable way to expand existing EnGenius networks. At first glance, it is a bit of an odd access point to launch in 2023 as it is limited to the ageing WiFi 5. EnGenius already have a WiFi 6E access…
I have previously reviewed the Pinter and Pinter 2, and I have been impressed with how easy it is to brew your own beer and the quality of the beer. The Pinter 2 was only announced in August 2022, with my review back in December, so it was a bit of a surprise to me…
Huawei has announced the latest generation of their open-fit TWS earbuds, the Huawei FreeBuds 5. These ditch the Apple AirPod-esque design that the FreeBuds 4 and FreeBuds 3 used in favour of a new curvey design. At first glance, they were reminiscent of the bean-shaped Samsung Galaxy Buds Live that launched a couple of years…
Soundcore, by Anker, has announced a new portable high-fidelity speaker called the Motion X600. The speaker features what they call a “Sky Channel” providing spatial audio, something that has become increasingly popular with headphones and earbuds, including the Soundcore Liberty 4. Motion X600 Highlights Soundcore’s engineers have designed the Motion X600 to be the company’s…
The Intel Arc A750 and A770 GPUs officially launched in October 2022, with Acer and Asrock being the only third-party brands to launch their own models. At the time of writing, this BiFrost Arc A770 is priced at around £400, which is about the same price as the more affordable GeForce RTX 3060 Ti cards…
