I reviewed the original Helium Hotspot approximately a year ago, and it has then taken me over 6 months to get both the Nebra and Rak hotspot. Nebra has been awful to deal with, constant shipping and manufacturing delays with orders going out months after the initial forecast.  However, it seems like these are finally…

Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station & SolarSaga 100 Solar Panel Review – An impressive power station ideal for camping and Van Life

I am not much of a camper, instead preferring city breaks in hotels and Airbnb, and my days of festivals were over about 20 years ago. I knew you could get power banks with 3-pin UK plug sockets, but the world of portable power stations has eluded me. When Jackery asked if I would like…

EVICIV Raspberry Pi Monitor Review – A 7-inch 1024×600 touchscreen monitor for the Raspberry Pi 4, 3 and more
