Welcome to the world of endless conference calls! My last pair of headphones broke after a few months of constant use, so I decided to treat myself to a new, sturdier pair. These Aftershokz are SEVENTY QUID! Which is about £40 more than I usual spend on a pair of cans. But these use magic…

It has been over five years since I added WiFi to a Roomba. Technology has come a long way since then. I’ve just bought a WiFi enabled mopping robot for under £150. This is the snappily named Muzili G9070. It is a rebranded Tuya model – more on that later – which is available under…

I’m playing through the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. You can follow along with all my game reviews. It’s a lovely morning in the home, and you are a horrible cat. Your aim is to cause mayhem and destruction by knocking over as many things as possible. This is a joyful little game…

I’ve spent six-months working from an old kitchen table, and there is never quite enough room for all my monitors and associated kit. With the news that we’re all going to be working from home for a while longer, my employer very generously agreed to pay up to £150 for a WFH desk. So I…

I hate the Internet of Things. It’s a load of overpriced junk, which abuses your privacy and demands a monthly fee in return. That’s why I was pleasantly surprised to see this fall out of the eufyCam 2C box. There’s no monthly fee. The recordings stay in your home. The batteries last for ages. I…

None of us are going out to gigs in the foreseeable future, right? So the next best thing is watching shows on video. Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets is an epic blast. Recorded at the Roundhouse, it is gorgeously colourful and has just the right amount of “backstage” interviews”, And, being a disc, there’s no…
