Sometimes, we wonder how people ten years ago used to live. Back in 2009, there were only two Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and only one of them was really worth watching. We didn’t have ride-share taxi services to make travel more convenient, and we couldn’t trace our family trees with commercially available DNA testing kits….
Last year both Acer and Asus launched the first 4K HDR 144Hz G-Sync monitors, being bleeding edge technology they commanded an astronomical price of over £2000.

Launched back in 2015 the Garmin Edge 520 is probably the most popular option in Garmin’s cycling line-up, offering a good combination of features at an attractive price point. It was refreshed last year with the Edge 520 Plus which introduced full-blown routable maps while leaving most of the rest the same. With the Edge…
The childish trade tariff-war between the U.S. and China escalated on Sunday where it was reported that Google has decided to suspend business ties with Chinese communications and telecom major Huawei.
