As CES 2022, the company has now launched another product suitable for all year use but still works…

I have long been a fan of the Withings smart scales. Being able to track my weight over months and years significantly helped with my weight loss and then subsequent bulk/cut cycles. I started off with the Body+, which offers a good balance of data and affordability, which is best suited for most users in…
While Wi-Fi 6 may offer significant speed improvements on the current 5Ghz band, the performance is often held back due to congested Wi-Fi networks and pesky radar, creating the need for DFS (Dynamic frequency selection) channels. Wi-Fi 6E is the next-gen Wi-Fi we have really been waiting for. This expands the Wi-Fi network into the…

The original Realme GT was a superb phone…
