Fantom R10 minimalist card wallet review – Fan out your cards with a flick

fantom r10wallet review 1

REVIEW – As much as I love tech and gadgets, one thing I have yet to modernize is my wallet. I still use an old leather bi-fold that I got on a clearance rack several years ago. It has served me well, but it has seen better days, a perfect time for an upgrade. I

Orvibo Smart Universal Remote Control Home Automation Hub review – Take control of your devices

orvibo magiccube 10

REVIEW – If you’re of a certain age, like me, you remember the first TV remote control – it was you. Your parent would tell you to get up and go change the channel to one of the other two that your TV received.  Then, TVs started coming with Infrared (IR) remote controls, giving you

Wyze Cam Outdoor security camera review

wyze cam outdoor 30

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.

MyShittyBackpack GoApe Multi-pocket Cotton/Hemp Backpack review – Crappy name but nice backpack

MyShittyBackpack GoApe Multi Pocket Cotton Hemp Backpack 01

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

Level Invisible Smart Lock review – A smart door lock that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb

B4E726AC BEFC 4AB5 AB38 A1E46377E66B

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

aeonmatrix yardianpro 24

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
