The P2 Door and Window Sensor, retailing at $29.99 / £29.99 / €32.99, was launched at the start of July and is the first sensor from Aqara to have native matter support that can be integrated directly into third-party Matter-enabled smart homes without needing an Aqara hub for its operation. However, by pairing the sensor…
I reviewed the Edifier TWS1 Pro a bit over two years ago and thought they were excellent earbuds for the price. The new Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 launched this month and comes with improved sound quality, ANC, and they are now compatible with the Edifier Connect app. However, the poor battery life may limit their…
If you’re having a hard time getting inspired to write, you shouldn’t just give in and give up. No. You should fight the urge to ditch your writing and overcome the “I don’t feel like it blues.” But how do you do that exactly? It takes some practice, but you can find ways to get…
iMessage is Apple’s instant messaging service. It allows users to send texts, documents, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over the Internet to other iOS or macOS users.

I have previously received the massive EcoFlow 400W solar panel and the superb 220W bifacial solar panel. I am particularly fond of the bifacial panel as it is less cumbersome to set up, and the bifacial design allows it to capture 220W on the primary side and 155W rear side, theoretically. This means you are…
I am currently in the process of reviewing the EcoFlow 100W flexible solar panel, which I hopefully will end up using as part of the new Balcony Solar System that EcoFlow has developed and using in conjunction with the EcoFlow Delta 2 series as a DIY way to set up your own home solar system….
The Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 is a more traditional secure drive compared to the affordable, user-friendly IronKey Locker+ 50 or the premium IronKey Vault Privacy 80 encrypted drives I have reviewed recently. Unlike those drives, this is a FIPS 140-3 Level 3 encrypted USB drive and uses a physical keypad for security, much like the…
I have been working my way through reviewing the range of Marshall speakers and headphones. I have been impressed with everything from them so far. All the products have been priced at a premium, but you are paying for the name and the associated attractive signature design, build quality and the overall performance of the…

This phenomenon is most commonly associated with computer components, especially graphics cards, power supplies (PSUs), and sometimes motherboards or other electronic devices. The vibrations arise due to the magnetostrictive properties of the components’ materials, where the…
In an increasingly interconnected digital landscape, the threat of cyber-attacks has become a pressing concern for individuals, businesses, and governments alike. These attacks can range from data breaches and identity theft to more sophisticated threats such as ransomware and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
