I love traveling with my bike. Whether it’s the point of the trip, or just coming along to make a boring excursion less so.

Effortless surround sound, well as long as you have an AC outlet nearby. That’s the promise of WiSA, and it’s gotten much easier with devices like Axiim’s LINK because you don’t even need a receiver.

There aren’t many Micro-ATX X570 motherboards to choose from, so when I decided it was time for a new workstation, I opted for the one with an Intel network adapter.

I have had several Fitbits, currently rocking* the Charge 3 with NFC, and I have mixed feelings about the news that Google has purchased the wearables manufacture for $2.1B. Fitbit has been struggling lately, or if we’re totally honest, forever. It doesn’t seem to have a cohesive strategy, or understand its own devices very well. The pace of change is […]

In the same week that PlayStation VUE limped off the field, Apple has announced its own OTT service completely unconfusingly named “Apple TV+”. Which while you can naturally use it on your Apple TV, actually has nothing to do with it….
