I’m not sure if it’s my age or the amount of time I’ve been following technology but somethings changed for me where I’m caring less and less about new hardware. I feel that smartphones, folding aside are pretty stale. On one hand this is great for those that want to keep their devices as longContinue reading “Software updates are more interesting than new hardware”

Switching apps to help to do app overwhelm
I’ve been using Todoist for quite a while now and whilst I’ve been enjoying it I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Despite all of it’s positives Todoist still isn’t great at dealing with overdue tasks. If you miss a task or don’t get to it it’ll flag as overdue, which is great for some butContinue reading “Switching apps to help to do app overwhelm”
The best value iPhone in 2021
I’ve been thinking a lot about being a more ethical consumer lately and fell into a rabbit hole of looking at buying refurbished or used technology when you need it. I came across Apple selling the iPhone 11 refurbished finally in the UK. For me the iPhone 11 is the best value iPhone of theContinue reading “The best value iPhone in 2021”
The slow irritation of using Google Photos
I’m slowly moving away from Google Photos already. When I ran into iCloud issues I decided to try somewhere else but I’m already having a rethink. Every time I go in I get this red notification above and I keep getting reminded to buy a photo book. I’m ok with photo books, they’re cool butContinue reading “The slow irritation of using Google Photos”
Being a more responsible technology enthusiast
As I wrote about yesterday I want to take a step back and think about my purchases a lot more. This isn’t just technology ones but it’s obviously more of the focus for me and I think a lot of the people that read my site. Waste from these technology purchases is a massive problemContinue reading “Being a more responsible technology enthusiast”
Think before buying your next smartphone
I’ve become very conscious of the technology I buy and the time I was out of a full time job made me realise I didn’t need the latest and greatest. Making an informed decision on new stuff wasn’t something at the forefront of my mind in the past, I’ll admit it was the new andContinue reading “Think before buying your next smartphone”
Moving to cross platform apps
I’ve been thinking a lot about the platform I use most and whether I should tie myself to one platform. A company that you follow won’t always line up with how you think they should be doing business. This also coincided with a massive photo loss within iCloud for me this week and forced theContinue reading “Moving to cross platform apps”
Apple encouraging more users to use the iOS 15 beta
I got this email through from Apple, like a lot of people encouraging them to try out the beta program. In my experience it’s pretty solid but unless you’re happy with how to downgrade to iOS 14 and not lose any data I’d wait. The latest beta is probably the best one (you’d like toContinue reading “Apple encouraging more users to use the iOS 15 beta”
Do you use an Apple AirTag?
I’ve been looking at an Apple AirTag for a while now and as of yet not picked one up. I’m not travelling a lot obviously right now but I am tempted to get one for my camera bag. Does anyone have experience of using them yet? They seem affordable and pretty slick looking at theContinue reading “Do you use an Apple AirTag?”
