Bluesound Pulse MINI 2i multi-room speaker Review – A high-res audio Sonos Play:5 alternative

by | Aug 13, 2020 | , , | 0

Sonos may dominate the world of multiroom streaming speakers, but they are not necessarily the best all round. Bluesound has supported hi-resolution audio formats from the beginning, offering a key feature that Sonos, previously, did not offer. Things have changed a little since the launch of the Sonos S2 platform, which now offers hi-resolution formats, but Bluesound is still a contender for audio enthusiasts wanting the convenience of a multi-room system. Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i Wireless Speaker - Black £499.00 Buy on Amazon Features An innovative dual acoustic chamber results in a stunning, size-defying performance.Experience deep bass and full-range...

In the UK, mobile data has been improving faster than our wired connections. The average speed of the Internet in the UK is 22.37MB/s placing us 34th in the world, behind economic powerhouses such as Madagascar, Portugal, Malaysia and Andorra. As of 2019, the split for technologies connecting to the 24.8% using ADSL/ADSL2+, FTTC (54.5%), G.fast (0.1%), Cable (17.2%), FTTP (3.1%) and wireless (0.3%). ADSL2+ caps out at around 24Mb/s quickly dropping down to close to 8Mb/s if you are 3km away from the exchange. So it is not unusual for people in the centre of London to be...

Huawei AppGallery continues to improve with new Curve banking app and more

by | Aug 12, 2020 | , | 0

The long-term success of Huawei phones without Google is reliant on them improving the AppGallery to be a suitable replacement to Google Play Store. There are currently lots of methods to get apps on your Huawei phone, including Petal Search, but none of these is an ideal solution, no one really wants to sideload apps on their phone.   So, Huawei are eager to highlight all the new apps that land on the app gallery with regular press releases. The important thing is that it is improving, maybe not as fast as I would like, but it is moving...

by | Aug 10, 2020 | , , | 0

During the Huawei Mate 30 launch, the Huawei Speaker X was announced, a smart speaker co-developed by French brand famed for their high-end ultra-powerful Phantom speakers. At the time it was announced with December 2019 availability, however, for people in Europe and the UK it sort of fizzled out with no word on if or when it will be launched. This has now changed, and the Huawei Sound X will soon be available to buy from 17th August on the Huawei Store (RRP £299.99). To sweeten the deal, if you buy it before the end of August, Huawei will...

The Best Pedestal Fans on Amazon – Low noise Cooling fans ideal for sleeping & working at home

The Best Pedestal Fans on Amazon – Low noise Cooling fans ideal for sleeping & working at home

by | Aug 8, 2020 | , , , | 0

With us all at home, likely for another couple more months at least, and the weather hotting up, demand for fans will likely be hotting up (sorry). If you just want a fan to cool you down during the day either in a hot office or while working from home, you can choose almost any large pedestal, floor or tower fan. Normally, the bigger, the better. However, when it comes to sleeping things are different, most people don’t appreciate the drone of a fan all night, and the sound profile of a fan can make a big difference too....

Ruh-roh! Canon is the next ransomware victim after the Garmin outage – A GDPR nightmare ensues

Ruh-roh! Canon is the next ransomware victim after the Garmin outage – A GDPR nightmare ensues

by | Aug 7, 2020 | , | 0

Garmin is still recovering from its recent ransomware attack which took down their IT systems for several days. At the time, it had me questioning how such a large organisation could suffer such a significant ransomware attack? Days after this incident, another multinational company has fallen victim to such an attack. BleepingComputer has once again brought news of the attack to the public which has resulted in the loss of data for users of their free 10GB storage feature. It looks like only some of Canon’s systems have fallen foul to this ransomware, but still a lot of them....

Sony has just announced its new WH-1000XM4 over-ear wireless noise-cancelling headphones. For many people, the Sony 1000X family of headphones represent the best of the best in terms of ANC headphones. Only Bose compete, and it seems that many people prefer the Sony option. With these being upgraded after just 2 years, what can sony actually do to improve the WH-1000XM4 from the previous universally praised WH-1000XM3? Better Noise Cancellation One obvious upgrade was to continue to improve the already excellent ANC. Sony has retooled the noise-cancelling algorithm and now offers a new Bluetooth SoC to block more noise...
