REVIEW – Learning to play guitar, and getting to a point where others might want to listen, can be a very large gap. Even when you sound really good, the required repetition to nail a lick can take a toll on anyone listening. Headphones have long been a great solution for this, but without good

REVIEW – I’m what you might call an early adopter. Many years ago, when our kids were little, we bought three television-based video conferencing units – one for us and one for each set of grandparents. I wish I could remember the name of the units, but alas, I cannot. You looked them up to

REVIEW – Apple misplaced a bunch of ports when they switched from MagSafe to USB-C on their MacBook line a few years ago. Even if you have one of the Intel machines with 4 ports, they’re all USB-C. It’s nice and clean, but means you need to plan for compatibility whenever you need to connect

REVIEW – Who needs two-way radios when we all have cellphones? A powerful radio could move from convenience to necessity if cell signals don’t exist when camping or hiking for example.

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a lot of chargers here at The Gadgeteer. As a means to continue that tradition, I present to you Baseus’s new 100W GaN2 four-port charger. And, for good measure, they sent along their new single-port USB-C 100W GaN2 charger so I took a look at that one as well. What is

 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

REVIEW – I have been extremely fortunate in that in my 50 plus years of life, I have never had to wear glasses of any kind. I have been working on computers in my IT career since 1989 and I am just starting to need some reading glasses for low light and small print conditions.Â

What is it?

REVIEW – Spring is in full bloom, and between the pollen, dust, and shedding pets, your sinuses might be ready to call it quits.

REVIEW – I’ve been using the Mobile Pixels DUEX Plus dual monitor screen since I reviewed it, but the small size does detract from the convenience of being attached to the laptop. When the offer came up to review the KYY 15.6 inch USB-C monitor, I jumped at the chance. I was hoping that the

REVIEW – Ever since the Vinyl Revival began around 2007, I’ve been trying to convince myself to buy a new turntable. I’m a child of the 70s and 80s, so growing up I had a pretty big collection of LPs and 45s. I vividly remember the excitement of hearing a needle hit a new record
