REVIEW – I have wanted to try sous vide cooking for years. We have several friends and coworkers who swear by it. I understood the science and thermodynamics of how it works but I was always a little skeptical. While I have been tempted, I have been procrastinating more than anything…never pulling the trigger on […]

REVIEW – Our family has a shared Mac Mini tucked behind a monitor. Unfortunately, plugging in USB accessories can be a little tricky when you hide the CPU, but the ORICO 4 Port USB 3.0 Clip-Type hub could solve just that. What is it? The ORICO 4-Port USB 3.0 Clip-Type hub does just what it

REVIEW – We keep hearing that sitting is the new smoking when it comes to activities that can be damaging/fatal to your health. I can’t really disagree that sitting all day is bad for me, but I’ve tried several standing desks over the years and can’t seem to work as well as I can while

REVIEW – My son’s middle school uses iPads for turning in and managing homework. I wanted to hold back on tech obsolescence so I picked up a 2018 iPad Pro 11 for him with the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio, which doesn’t provide a lot of protection from falls. That’s where the Urban Armor Gear (UAG)

REVIEW – I use padlocks a lot to secure many of the equipment cases that I own. A good padlock is important to make sure that my quite expensive photography and videography equipment does not grow legs and walk away. I am very much into keyless locks because having a bunch of keys not only

KICKSTARTER REVIEW – Every week I try to walk 10 to 15 miles as a part of my fitness program. As I get older, I do find that many evenings, especially closer to the end of the week, that my legs ache and are in need of a nice massage and some form of rejuvenation.

REVIEW – Holiday lights, landscape lighting – what do they all need? Power! Beyond that, we want those lights to turn on and off – sometimes on a schedule, sometimes with the sun, and sometimes, just because we want them to. In the ancient past, we had to rely on outdoor power strips and timers,

REVIEW – I’ll admit that I am a novice when it comes to 3D printing, but I do have an expert on call in my teenager (he built his own printer). We’ve been playing with the Longer Home 3D Printer Cube, which Longer says is an ideal starter printer for kids and adults. How does

REVIEW – We all have “stuff” that we like to keep track of, from our backpacks full of expensive computer gear, to our luggage and even our pets. We’ve reviewed a variety of tracker devices here on The Gadgeteer over the years, but most of those tracking fobs are only useful when they are within

REVIEW – Over-the-ear headphones have grown on me over the past few years. I have preferred sport-centric earbuds due to their portability and ability to survive sweaty, nasty workouts. But I have come to appreciate the comfort, sound quality, and added features that over-the-ear headphones bring to the table. My current go-to earbuds are the

REVIEW – These days, you can find hundreds of portable power bank choices both on the internet and in the stores. The more that these types of devices become a part of our EDC bag, the more the demand for more power capacity in a smaller package. And, we also want as many built-in I/O

REVIEW – Many chargers for Qi-enabled devices have entered the market in the past few years. Most have a very simple design and are typically made of plastic with perhaps some metallic components to add a bit of style. But did you ever wish your Qi charging pad had just a bit more of a

REVIEW – My ideal travel camera bag is a messenger/satchel style bag. Whether I’m walking, cycling or riding a motorcycle, this style of bag allows me to easily swing the bag around, get out my camera gear, take the shot, replace my camera and then swing the bag back around. Much easier than having to

REVIEW – Continuing in the trend of “commuter packs that can hold any screen, so long as it’s skinny”, we’ve got a new contender from an old friend. Add to the required main large, narrow screen sleeve a flexible set of pockets and versatile straps, and you’ve got a winner. This one is from Targus,

REVIEW – Wireless earbuds are being released and changed at a rapid rate. Only two years ago, there were few options. Now, companies seem to bring out new styles and feature-sets daily. Today’s model is the Slide, from PaMu. This is the third set of totally wireless earbuds I’ve reviewed from this company, and they

REVIEW – The Anet A8 3D printer was introduced in 2017 and quickly gained a following because of its affordability, capability, and adaptability to modification. On the downside, however, the printer had poor documentation, a relatively steep learning curve, a shaky frame, and a potential safety issue. The Anet A8 Plus is the successor to
