Not every gadget runs on power, and the humble belt has seen some reinvention for the "modern" age.
Anson Belt was kind enough to send me one of their "belts without holes" set to review.
Writing an article about belts for me would be a travesty if I don't include a little background. I have a love hate relationship with belts, generally more hate than love although there was a period of peace and prosperity.
Some 8 years ago we published an article on the original Bushman, a portable fridge/freezer that has become legendary among campers and outback travellers.
We decided to revisit the brand and see what they’ve built on the reputation of their original product.
We came away amazed at the range of DC refrigeration products they offer but were really charmed by the smallest fridge/freezer in the lineup: the Bushman Roadie 15L.
Let’s get chilling and show you what’s so cool about the Roadie!
With each iteration, the line that separates a "Smart TV" and a "computer" becomes more ambiguous. For someone who grew up in the era of CRT type TV and old school TV test patterns, Mr Bean's idea of a remote control still makes sense. Smart TVs is almost as functional as a computer, at the very least, it is on par with a tablet - it can browse the internet, run apps and connect wireless peripheral (mostly with ease). The remote control though seems to stay relatively constant, with more buttons, microphone and a keyboard that is homage to a Nokia phone pre-T9 keyboard.
The Logitech K600 Smart TV keyboard aims to make the smart TV work smarter with a full keyboard, touchpad and a D-Pad all in a svelte form factor.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been testing the remarkable Briggs & Stratton Q6500 Generator and today we’re publishing our findings and recommendations.
But also we’ll discuss why most households would do well to invest in a generator.
At DigitalReviews.Net, we have had a long relationship with the "Boom" family of bluetooth speakers. We have gotten to be friends with Wonderboom, Megaboom, Megaboom 3, and now we get to welcome the Megablast into the party.
The siblings of the Ultimate Ears Megablast has earned very favourable reviews from our boss Martin at DigitalReviews, so there are some pretty high expectations when the unit landed on my desk.
We’ve been reviewing plenty of wireless charging options over the years and have had a ho-hum attitude to most of them. The initial excitement of being able to charge our devices wirelessly and easily has waned a bit.
But having highlighted a few EFM products recently and knowing they produce some good quality gear, we were willing to have a look at their latest wireless charger. The main feature of which seems to be leather.
Leather?
Just a touch of luxury to differentiate it from all the other chargers on the market?
Well, I discovered there were other things that made this my favourite wireless charger...
I first came across Gryphon Connect Smart Router when it was still a Kickstarter campaign. The gestation period for it to become a shipping product took a while but it did arrive in my eager hands about 12 months ago. It has been undergoing an extended live test since.
New hardware is released every few months like clockwork. To this end there is almost a lack of relevancy to hardware specifications anymore, the fight has moved to functionality and user experience.
Synology has focused a lot of effort on their OS, DiskStation Manager (DSM). Over the years, there has been a steady flow of improvements and increase of ecosystem to extend the base functionality.
Synology has been kind enough to provide a DS218+ for review. Instead of the usual hardware focus, DigitalReviews is looking at some specific data protection with Hyper Backup in DSM.
It’s time to hit the road again!
Most of us fly regularly and need to take along all the essentials to keep ourselves looking good and fresh for several weeks and carry our electronic friends along as well.
That’s requirement Number One: lightweight travel gear so that we can maximise our luggage allowance.
But it also has to be strong, durable and good looking.
That’s why we again looked at Travelon gear for this year’s line-up of different pieces of luggage.
