REVIEW – The world of flashlights is finely-grained. There are models for everything from tiny “find-the-key-hole” pinch lights to huge handheld spotlights that are weatherproof and can be dropped into caves, tossed into a truck bed with other equipment, or used to signal in rivers without harm. The ThruNite TC15 v3 is the unit I’m […]

REVIEW – Can furniture be a gadget? I get this type of question from friends who visit the site after asking about a device I’m using and reading the review. I think it can, just like alarm systems, home automation, or car tech. Anything that lets you tweak and alter your life, to me,

NEWS – You can never be too rich or too thin – or have too many ports. OK, I added that last part, but it’s true, isn’t it? The CalDigit Thunderbolt Station 4 tries to prove my point, by fitting 18 ports into a single box! What is it? A multiport break-out box that adds a

REVIEW – All of our modern devices have microphones. Some are sensitive and well placed, others may pick up ambient noise like your keyboard or the AC fan. Others just may not be up to the task of giving expression to all you’re wanting to get across in your calls, podcasts, video meetings, etc. The

REVIEW – StarTech.com, makers of networking and display products, must have gotten tired of trying to find gear bags for their installers, because they have just launched a line of their own.

REVIEW – We all have too many of them, yet keep reading reviews and buying more. No, I’m not talking about knives or multi-tools, but you can be forgiven for thinking that. I’m talking about flashlights. These are three of the big four EDC gadgets we see here at the Gadgeteer. (I’d put gear bags

REVIEW – Listening to music can make exercising more tolerable. Witness the huge case market for sweat-resistant armbands, cases, and headphones. Listening to music when you’re outside running, biking, or otherwise being exposed to environmental hazards (i.e. cars, trucks, and other motorized vehicles) can be dangerous to your situational awareness. Aftershokz, a company that specializes
REVIEW – The iPad, introduced in 2010, changed the idea of “tablet computing” for many people. It’s often been said that there isn’t really a “Tablet Market”, so much as an iPad market with various copycat devices. However you feel about this, third parties have embraced the iPad wholeheartedly, and nowhere is this more visible

REVIEW – With Working From Home becoming the norm for many, what do you do if you don’t have a full-time space to devote to your work life? Rent a hotel room every day? Kick one of your kids out of their bedroom? Or use the dining table, and deal with tearing down the makeshift

NEWS – Way back in May of 2012, I reviewed the Wedgestand eReader stand. Over the near-decade since, I’ve mentioned it as a favorite device accessory at least twice, and it is out on my dining room table as I type this. It’s a great, simple design, and I thought it could not be improved

REVIEW – Creating steady video and moving around from various angles used to be difficult and physically intensive. I was recently sent the Hohem iSteady X2, a gimbal designed for smartphones, and it’s a huge creative boost. I’ve tested it in several use cases, and am ready to report. What is it? An electronics-driven gimbal

REVIEW – As we move into summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, more and more people are having outside get-togethers. If a movie would make a part of a good gathering for you, a sturdy outdoor screen will be in order. To that end, ProjectorScreen.com sent me the Elite Screens Yard Master 2 screen for

REVIEW – There was a time when groups of people would get together for viewing parties in the same location. While that’s not happened in a while, things seem to be pointing back in that direction lately.

REVIEW – Be honest. How many times have you been in a public restroom and heard someone a few stalls over talking, and you knew they were on the phone? Or you’re hearing TikToks playing? Public restrooms are germy nightmares, and don’t tell me about washing your hands – you need to disinfect your phone

REVIEW – As with everything in the technology space, change is afoot regarding battery banks. Last summer, I reviewed a 10,000 mAh unit that weighed 13.6 ounces. (To be fair, it also had 2 Qi chargers and an Apple Watch charger built in.) Before that, I reviewed a 10,000 mAh unit that weighed 9.7 ounces.

REVIEW – If you’re reading this website, there’s a good chance you’ve used a powered screwdriver before. Building your own computer, Raspberry Pi projects, changing out the memory or storage on your device – having a power driver makes short work of those pesky screws.

REVIEW – As our digital lives progress, we suddenly find we have a network of things that we are carrying around. Phones, earbuds, watches, tablets – and everything needs recharging at some point.

REVIEW – Municipal water is, sadly, no longer guaranteed to be safe from pollutants and poisons from pipes and groundwater leaching. Many folks I know use filtered pitchers in their fridge to take care of the impurities, but those things take a good while to seep through. Plus, they aren’t portable. Enter the Astrea
