I’ve been thinking about where the Mini fits in having tested one a little while ago. There are lots of rumours that indicate this years model will be it’s last appearance and that makes me sad. I loved the form factor but my eyes just didn’t get on well with the OLED used. This gotContinue reading “Giving the iPhone Mini an LCD to create the SE 3”

YouTube once again shows it puts profits over peoples mental health
This is a very interesting report from The Verge and should be a surprise to no one but is worth a read through. The algorithm is the main problem with YouTube and Google just keep letting it run wild. This just reconfirms my decision to stop watching the service completely. Until more take users actionContinue reading “YouTube once again shows it puts profits over peoples mental health”
I’ve stopped watching YouTube (and why you might want to as well)
Back in 2008 I was really into YouTube, in fact I had a guitar channel with a healthy follower count and connections with guitar companies for review gear. It felt like early blogging and gave me a creative outlet I enjoyed. But something changed about 5 years later, click bait and the rise of theContinue reading “I’ve stopped watching YouTube (and why you might want to as well)”
Don’t let your expectations ruin your experience
After seeing some of the negativity around iPadOS 15 and an upset group of people now returning their devices I’m reminded of something to remember whenever you’re faced with an upcoming event – don’t set unrealistic expectations and then be upset when they are not met. As Yoda point out to Luke with the darkContinue reading “Don’t let your expectations ruin your experience”
The Mac is great value for money
I’ve been in these discussions for years with friends on PC, the Mac might cost a bit more in the beginning but over time it’ll work out better value for money. My MacBook is from 2015 and until the keyboard broke down I had 5 years use myself but overall that model went for 6.Continue reading “The Mac is great value for money”
Are iPhone reviews on YouTube useful?
I’ve been meaning to write this for a while now but when I was looking for information on the iPhone 11 on YouTube I quickly discovered that unless you’re looking for a flagship phone YouTube information on a “standard” iPhone model isn’t as great as you might think. Apple isn’t giving the phone to theContinue reading “Are iPhone reviews on YouTube useful?”
What will Apple announce at next weeks event
Apple have finally confirmed the 20th April 2021 as their next event, streamed online as usual and no audience as expected in these times. I don’t think you can read anything into the invite image aside from the colours. To my eyes this is showing a line of spring colours for maybe watch bands, casesContinue reading “What will Apple announce at next weeks event”
Spotify, why are you releasing an in car player?
Spotify announced Car Thing a few days ago for “select Spotify users” but I have no idea why. I can see strategically they want to be in people’s faces as often as possible but is there really a need for this? All of the cars I’ve owned have been fine for streaming from my phone.Continue reading “Spotify, why are you releasing an in car player?”
Imagining an M1 based 12″ MacBook
The only portable computer I have these days is the 12″ MacBook, mine is from 2016. I love it, I use it throughout the day and it’s so thin and light I take it pretty much everywhere with me. The battery still lasts all day, (thankfully) the keyboard is still working and it’s really durable.Continue reading “Imagining an M1 based 12″ MacBook”
Hasbro built a robotic transforming Optimus Prime
Wow, this looks amazing. As a kid of the 80’s where Prime was everyone’s hero, I love this. Video Hasbro Link
