I’ve owned the series X for almost a month now and really started to understand how the UI hangs together and had a bit more play time. Overall I’m pleasantly surprised at how much I love this console. From it’s a quick resume (taking you straight to where you left off), quietness, fast load timesContinue reading “More thoughts on the Xbox series X”
Don’t overthink your productivity apps
If you have been following me for a while you’ll know that I switched productivity apps constantly trying to figure out what would work 100% with how I work. What I have come to realise is that there’s no 100% (for you) app out there and that if you use one solution for more thanContinue reading “Don’t overthink your productivity apps”
Get iPod Nano wallpapers on your iPhone
Here’s a great set of iPod Nano wallpapers redone for modern devices by BasicAppleGuy. Really nice work and I’ve already set my iPhone 11 up with one.
iOS 14 vs iOS 15
I recently put my MacBook Air back onto Big Sur after running into some iCloud Photo sync issues so also decided to drop my iPhone back to iOS 14 to get them in line. What I’m coming to realise is that iOS 15 actually is a minor release, I’d suspected this but in use itContinue reading “iOS 14 vs iOS 15”
Is the Casio G-Shock 5600 worth buying?
As you know if you’ve been reading my site for a while I’m a watch fan and particularly fond of Japanese watches from Casio and Seiko. I previously reviewed the G-Shock 5610 and at the time was heavily wearing an F-91 and found the 5610 to not be as comfortable so returned it and keptContinue reading “Is the Casio G-Shock 5600 worth buying?”
Is Unsplash worth it?
I recently recreated my Unsplash account in a bid to encourage me to take more photos. I was on the fence about this given I previously deleted my account but I think I’m ok giving it a try for a bit. I use it as a source of inspiration, a place to get cool wallpapersContinue reading “Is Unsplash worth it?”
Looking back at iOS 4

Here’s a few screenshots I found from iOS 4 and the beta back in 2010. Here’s what myContinue reading “Looking back at iOS 4”
Do you actually need a music streaming service?
Since taking a good look at my budget over the last year and really thinking about the money that goes into services it got me thinking a lot about music streaming. I went from Apple to Amazon and back to Apple via free trials etc but now I have been left without a trial andContinue reading “Do you actually need a music streaming service?”
How to remove the macOS Monterey Beta from an M1 MacBook Air
I’ve been playing with the macOS Monterey Beta for a couple of weeks and when my Photo library stopped syncing with it I decided to go back to Big Sur. This is a little more complicated with an M1 Mac and you can’t use the same method as you would with an Intel Mac. InContinue reading “How to remove the macOS Monterey Beta from an M1 MacBook Air”
The best web browser on iOS
I’ve been testing out iOS 15 since WWDC and it got me thinking about how much I’ve been using the DuckDuckGo browser. I was using it before iOS 15 but with the mixed reaction to the changes made by Apple (see MacStories for a great Safari overview) I think more people might start to exploreContinue reading “The best web browser on iOS”
