With the UK gigabit Internet rollout finally making some progress and many of us working from home, our older WiFi routers and mesh systems may start to struggle to provide the best speeds possible.

This is hardly a consumer tech product, but as I get older, I have started to get some tinnitus and have become increasingly concerned about hearing loss later in life. You don’t really care about loud pubs and clubs in your 20s, but I can assure you that you won’t feel the same later in…
Realme will be launching its first tablet alongside the Realme 9 and Realme 9 5G on the 12th of May. The Android tablet market has floundered in the past few years. It is basically just Samsung which is the only big company making them. TCL have some options, but hardly anyone sells them. Random Chinese…
TLDR: It is a bit hit and miss due to the current situation We have all seen how awful Manchester Airport is at the moment, and that’s putting it politely. Post pandemic staffing issues and continued covid related sickness leave mean that both the airport and flight operators are woefully understaffed. This is causing massive…
The Garmin Forerunner 955 and Forerunner 255 are two of the most hotly anticipated launches from Garmin. A Reddit user claimed to have been to a store in Germany and managed to see an early mail to retailers detailing the new watches.

The Sony PlayStation 5 is an amazing console with next-gen graphics that can compete with high-end gaming PCs. The problem is that next-gen graphics mean gigantic install sizes. Sadly, modern gaming means that even if you buy a physical copy of a game, you are likely going to have to download several gigabytes of data….
As a tight-fisted northerner, the thought of spending £200+ on running shoes has always felt like madness to me. The critic in me has always found it ridiculous that so many none competitive runners line up for marathons and the like with Nikes’ famous range of Alphafly/Varporfly shoes. But here I am, a none competitive…
Following on from my previous Insteon posts about setting up Home Assistant Windows Portable (HassWP) and cheap PCs to run as a server for Docker/Insteon. This post is a guide for anyone wanting to get Home Assistant Windows Portable working on a PC running Windows Home. In my HassWP original post, I installed Home Assistant…
If you thought the Nothing ear (1) marketing campaign was annoying, then you are going to be in for a bad time with the Nothing phone (1). Most companies keep things quiet until a few months or weeks out from launch, and then things “accidentally” start leaking. Not Nothing, they will be sending out weekly…

Firstly, although you may download Office free of charge, technically, you need to have an active Microsoft account and a valid product key linked to it.

This is my second Home Assistant for Insteon post, and I will be writing a couple more to help anyone that is trying to get their Insteon smart home back up and running.
