Over the past few months, I have upgraded my home surveillance, moving from cameras that recording motion only to microSD cards, to cheap Ezviz NVR and finally a BlueIris NVR with Sentry AI human detection. I have done everything as cheap as possible, and that includes re-using old desktop hard-drives. I had one of them…
MediaTek launched the Helio G90 series in July of 2019, since then only one phone I am aware of used the chipset, the incredibly popular Redmi Note 8 Pro. The new Realme 6 series is set to launch soon, the Pro variant is tipped to be the first phone to feature the new Snapdragon 720G…
Arlo, formerly owned by Netgear has long been the dominant company for wire-free security cameras, I would argue that they are the company responsible for the popularisation of the battery-powered wire-free outdoor surveillance camera. Since the launch of Arlo, many companies have come along replicating their features, many of them are inferior, plenty of them…
Companies, especially SaaS, although talk about customer-centricity but rarely do they ever take it seriously. But, one leading VPN provider proved the world why customer-centricity is important and how it has eventually led to the company’s success. PureVPN ranks amongst the top services in the virtual private network industry. Each year, the CEO of the…
After announcing a bunch of amazing sounding chipsets that put them toe to toe with high-end system on chips from Qualcomm and Samsung, Mediatek appears to have run out of ideas. While the first phone with the Mediatek Dimensity 1000L (Reno3) has been launched, we are yet to see anyone integrate the full fat Dimensity…
Until today I wasn’t aware that Timex did sports watches, but they do, and they are ultrabasic, which is not always a bad thing. Today they have upgraded the Ironman series to include the Ironman R300 which offers the essential features most of us want from a sports watch while also being very affordable and…
While this is not tech-related, I do cover fitness tech, and I am in the middle of marathon training and flirting with the idea of Ironman 70.3. As a tight-fisted northerner, my attitude towards fitness wear has always been to opt for the cheapest possible with most of my gym wear coming from Primark, even…
The LG V series has always been a little whacky, I had the LG V20 back in the day with its weird second LED notification screen, it was an amazing phone with an appalling battery life, but it was also the last flagship device with a replaceable battery, so it was forgivable. Last year, when…
I am more excited about this than I should be really. Gaming chairs have become ubiquitous in recent years, but in general, they are just not that good. They are not ergonomic, and often they are PVC coated memory foam, which is just unpleasant when using for many hours per day (which most PC gamers…
It is unlikely you will have ever heard of Unisoc, the company is relatively new since being rebranded from Spreadtrum Communications, Inc and is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Shanghai producing chipsets form mobiles and IoT devices. They predominantly focus on the Chinese market as well as developing markets, the same could have been…
If you want the best bang for your buck NAS then TerraMaster is probably the best brand to go for. I reviewed their F2-210 last month and it offered incredible performance for such a low price. The value for money TerraMaster offers continues throughout their range, from a hardware perspective little really competes with them….
Vivo subbrand IQOO has just announced their iQOO 3 5G, it is highly unlikely we will see it in the UK but it is launching in India and is joining the Realme X50 Pro 5G as the first two flagship devices with 5G to launch there. Ironically, there is no 5G network in India yet,…
