REVIEW – Docking stations are one of those gadgets that you don’t know you need, until you’ve used one. Being able to plug in a single cable when you come and go from your desk is delightful. I’ve also had some experiences with poor docks where drivers caused problems or video wouldn’t work correctly. The …

REVIEW – I’ve always wanted an “action camera”, but spending hundreds of dollars on something that I would use only occasionally in my life seemed like a poor choice. The AKASO Brave 6 Plus Action Camera promises performance that would rival the much-more-expensive brands, but does it live up to its spec-sheet? What is it? …
REVIEW – As my gift to humanity, I vow to write this review without once making a pun about how the MECO High-Pressure Air Duster Blower “blows”. Like many computer-loving-geeks, I’ve long used the ubiquitous white cans of compressed air to blast dust out of my computers and laptops (and exacerbating my own allergies in …
REVIEW – I’ve been at least mildly germophobic as long as I can remember (I’m a constant hand-washer, among other things), so the opportunity to review this Adonit Note-UVC stylus was intriguing (especially during this COVID-19 pandemic). This stylus sells for less than the Apple Pencil, with the added benefit of a germ-killing UV-C light …
REVIEW – When I was younger I had a projector instead of a TV. I loved the larger picture, but as a heavily used living room TV it was far from ideal: any light in the room detracts from the picture, the constant fan noise was annoying, and the unit broke after less than a …

REVIEW – What if you wanted a security camera, but were worried about Big Brother or hackers watching you or your loved ones through said camera? What if I told you there was a camera that can completely block its lens at the push of a button (or through a smartphone app)? The Kangaroo Privacy …
REVIEW – I’ve used at least 15 different backpacks/bags for college and then work, which represent a huge range in price, ergonomics, and designs. I’ve had bags that I had to force laptops into, I’ve had bags where laptops became scuffed or damaged when set down too hard. My current go-to bag is great for …
REVIEW – I haven’t used a robot vacuum since the early robot-vacuum days, and my memories are full of random missed spots and attempted robot-suicide as it flung itself down our hardwood stairs fairly regularly. Bagotta sent over their BG800 Robot vacuum to review, so we’ll see if nearly 2 decades of research and technology …
REVIEW – Headphones are one of the most widely varying products I’ve used over the years, with many different features and focuses between brands and types. The HyperX Cloud Flight S Wireless Gaming headset promises premium audio quality with the added benefit of wireless charging. I’ve used everything from ~$20 headsets in college, to $200+ …

REVIEW – I’ve owned and tried many different “truly wireless” earbuds over the past few years, but haven’t tried one yet that also included a speaker in the charging case. Will these earbuds be another forgettable model aside from the extra speaker, or will they stand out from the crowded herd of options in this …

REVIEW – When I got the chance to review the Tifosi custom gaming glasses, I’ll admit I was skeptical. I’ve tried blue-light-reducing settings on many devices, without ever noticing much of a difference to eyestrain. Perhaps actually wearing glasses designed to block the eyestrain-causing wavelengths of light will work better? Let’s find out! What is …
REVIEW – I’ve been using smartwatches since 2013 (the Pebble!), moving on later to models from Motorola, Apple, and Ticwatch. The Amazfit T-Rex promises up to 21 days of battery life while still delivering all the key features you’d want in a smartwatch, so I was excited to try it out! What is it? The …
CROWDFUNDING NEWS – If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a drawer or bag full of various USB-C dongles. I’m constantly unable to find the one I need (why do I have 3 HDMI ones and a single DisplayPort one that’s missing?!?) The HyperDrive GEN2 Kickstarter promises a single dongle to rule them all, in …
