With a change of working habits and life it’s definitely affected the tech I’ve been using this year so I thought I’d list the tech I’ve used the most and how I’m using it. My iPhone becoming my iPad This was a strange one looking back. I broke my iPad Pro back in April timeContinue reading “My most used tech of 2020”

Appreciating the technology you already own
One of the side effects of having zero budget for new stuff since September is that I’ve really started to appreciate the technology I already own. I’m always drawn to the new and shiny but I’ve not been able to get any of it. It’s a first world problem but when it’s your hobby it’sContinue reading “Appreciating the technology you already own”
Reduce, reuse and recycle
I’ve been thinking a lot about how I consume technology and my impact on the environment. I’m faced with uncertainty and a a need to highly manage a budget anyway but over the last few years I’ve been conscious about the technology I’m consuming and it’s sustainability. I wanted to stop buying stuff just toContinue reading “Reduce, reuse and recycle”
Eero, 3 days in
I have to say that even though I’m only 3 days in, I’ve got no regrets about picking up the Eero 3 pack. I’ve not had any spots in the house where I can’t get a signal, it’s super fast everywhere, I’ve not had to restart the router once and the app is great. IfContinue reading “Eero, 3 days in”
It’s ok not to have new products the day they come out
I’m digging around for an Xbox preorder a lot and it dawned on me, it’s fine not to have it on day one. In fact it’s probably a good thing. I’m seeing a lot of anxiety around getting a new console on launch and it’ll be the same when the new iPhone comes around. FearContinue reading “It’s ok not to have new products the day they come out”
Tempted by the Withings ScanWatch
I’m becoming less and less of a fan of tracking absolutely everything about myself and therefore the Apple Watch but I’ve been reading a lot about the Withings ScanWatch and I have to admit I’m tempted. I love traditional watches but also need some motivation to exercise and this one might be the perfect combination.Continue reading “Tempted by the Withings ScanWatch”
Saving money on your technology
I’m really needing to watch my finances now and it’s so easy to forget about or not frequently review your monthly outgoings when it comes to technology if you’re anything like me. When I knew exactly what I’d be having coming in each month I was a bit too relaxed about but in these currentContinue reading “Saving money on your technology”
Using Google apps on the iPhone
I’m really experimenting with my setup at the moment and with me losing some faith in iCloud I’m making use of the Google Drive space I got for free to help me save some money. Now I’m in a different position work and money wise I’m really looking at using free services and Apple servicesContinue reading “Using Google apps on the iPhone”
Finally seeing the benefit of USB-C (and thoughts on my setup)
I’ve had the MacBook for a few years but not really seen the benefit of USB-C until now, it’s a strange thing to write but it’s finally clicked for me. My day job is home based and for a while I’ve had a DELL hub that I haven’t really tried for long periods, I simplyContinue reading “Finally seeing the benefit of USB-C (and thoughts on my setup)”
Use the technology that works for you
With the iPad turning 10 this year I’m seeing articles from people like me that celebrate it’s existence and from those that are clearly Mac first and bemoan the way it works based on their to be frank lack of day to day use of iPadOS. I know they have the ear of Apple andContinue reading “Use the technology that works for you”
