REVIEW – Have you splurged on a pair of fully wireless earbuds yet? If you find a pair that works well for you it’s hard to go back. I jumped in with the original AirPods even though they did not fit in my ears at all. It’s since led me down a rabbit hole of […]

REVIEW – I’ve been using Wyze’s incredibly inexpensive and equally incredibly popular cameras since the beginning and like so many people, I’ve been waiting for them to release a wire-free outdoor camera. Well, now it’s 3 years after they first came on the scene with their $19.99 camera and they have a new Wyze Cam

REVIEW – Why would you want to carry around the big charger that arrived in the box with your laptop when there’s a smaller, lighter, faster option that has an extra port for charging something else? I don’t know either. Let’s look at the Hyppr Sonic 100w GaN charger and see if it stacks up

REVIEW – I am a confessed gadget geek, and every workflow that I set up includes multiple screens and devices to provide every accommodation even beyond what I currently need. Sometimes I use my tablet to watch TV or surf the web, and I hate moving my iPad to do so since it is well-integrated

REVIEW – Now I know what you’re thinking… “What’s up with that brand name?” But the GoApe Multi-pocket Backpack from MyShittyBackpack isn’t even close to being as bad as the name would suggest. What is it? The GoApe Cotton/Hemp Backpack is a medium-sized multi-pocket bag recommended for everyday carry, day trips, short hikes or beach
REVIEW – The thing that you carry tools around in is often as important as the things inside of it. Does your stuff get dropped into a deep cavern to rattle around in, requiring a flashlight to find the desired object? Or does everything have a place and is easy to find? I wanted to

REVIEW – Over the years, I’ve installed a bunch of tech around our place: Sonos speakers, PoE surveillance systems, fancy connected entry gate opener, NAS, WiFi extenders, etc. But I’m pretty much a noob when it comes to smart home integration. Though in the past few years, I’ve have been considering trying out connected smart
REVIEW – For the past few months, I have been working from home and have been a part of conference calls that last for hours at a time. I also have 3 cell phones, two of which are for my personal and personal business use. I like to have dedicated headsets so that I do

REVIEW – If you’re a regular reader of The Gadgeteer, and have suffered through some of my previous reviews, you’ll already know that I hate mundane tasks, like anything related to home maintenance. Watering the lawn falls into that category, so I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to review the Yardian smart sprinkler

REVIEW – I’ve been on a personal quest to find the “perfect” wireless earbuds to meet my needs. I’ve reviewed quite a few of them here at The Gadgeteer, and although some earbud products have hit closer to the mark and some not so close, I’ve still not found “The Ones.” The latest wireless earbuds

REVIEW – For the past couple of years, I have been reading bedtime stories to my kids as often as I can. However, my schedule and workload make the custom inconsistent. I hate to hear my kids begging for a story and having to tell them that I need a raincheck. Enter the Yoto Player.

REVIEW – I’m relatively new to the world of projectors. Having previously reviewed a higher-end projector, I thought it would be excellent to review what I consider a mid-priced projector. Bring on the GooDee YG620! What is it? The GooDee YG620 is an LED Video Projector with a 7000:1 contrast ratio. What’s in the box?

REVIEW – If there’s one thing working from home has taught me, in being able to sit anywhere and work, it’s that you can never have enough wall chargers. AUKEY’s Omnia PD Wall Charger is the perfect portable solution for keeping my laptop topped up. What is it? The Omnia PD Wall Charger is a

REVIEW – Projectors have always seemed magical to me. Maybe it’s the size of the image, or hanging the bedsheet at a sleepover for a late night viewing. Classrooms were always set up to cover windows and dim the lights, whereas getting a projector set up at home always tended to bring out the flaws

REVIEW – I have fond memories of playing Atari 2600 games, Game Boy games, Atari Lynx, and even the original PSP gaming device. Although our smartphones have much better displays and horsepower than those gaming systems from decades ago, I still feel like those old games were a lot more fun. If you have similar

REVIEW – If you have ever taken headshot photos for someone or even turned the camera on yourself for your own self portrait, then you know that proper lighting makes the resulting pictures look so much better. Let’s face it, photography needs light and having a well illuminated and pleasing light source is a major

REVIEW – As someone who is just about to hit the half century mark, I started needing reading glasses over the last couple years. I’ve been near-sighted since 3rd grade and have worn a combination of glasses and contacts ever since. Prior to all this work-from-home business, I would wear contacts every day, relegating my

REVIEW – Summertime is here, and with it, trips to traditionally wet and sandy places. But, as Gadgeteers, can we really enjoy the beach, lakeside, or pool without our gadgets? What about the severe reaction to water and sand that electronics are susceptible to? Won’t someone think of the gadgets!?!?! Booē (pronounced like the water

REVIEW – I am a firm believer in surveillance cameras. We live out in the middle of nowhere and having situational awareness while we’re away is invaluable. To fill this need, we still use the Swann SWNVK-873004 Professional HD Security System I reviewed 4 yrs ago. And while it continues to get the job done, this old

REVIEW – Having done a news article on the CrowPi2 which you can read here, I was super excited to get some hands-on experience with it. The CrowPi2 is a great introduction to programming with step-by-step instructions and pre-wired built-in modules and sensors. With everything self-contained removes the need to wire everything together allowing the
