I was the youngest in my family for more than 2 decades... and then I wasn't. Defining yourself that way is ultimately kind of limiting, I find.

Today I am… answering the questions that nearly nobody was asking. Like, for example: Can you use an Apple MagSafe Wallet with a Google Pixel 10 phone?

Given his in-game actions towards other denizens of DreamLand, I feel that Kirby could do with some serious education on the concept of consent. Like, yesterday.

Apple often hypes its products as “revolutionary”, but often they’re far more evolutionary. The Apple Watch Series 11 is a good example of this approach. Here’s my full review!

The Oppo Find X9 isn’t Oppo’s most premium flagship phone for the year — but it’s much cheaper than the Find X9 Pro while still being genuinely good. Find out why in my full Oppo Find X9 Review!

Oh totally - its influence outweighs its sales figures, but by creating an environment/market where developers work to a lower, Linux based spec, it opens up possibilities for other systems to possibly do well. Pricing will be critical.

(Yoy may be going insane for other reasons, but not this one)
Yep. Not quite the business class seat, but not the total rubbery "chicken" and cramped seat experience either.

I turned a much older Yoga book (single touch screen) into a Linux system a while back. Touch screen drivers were not a problem at any time - useful in fact because the mouse hardware was kinda broken. alexreviewstech.com/have-we-fina...

The press release could be interpreted a few ways (I did this myself)... so I reached out to Valve for comment (not expecting any)... and they did! No plans to stagger releases, available everywhere they ship all at once.

Quick update on my Steam Machine piece, as I’ve gotten clarification from Valve around Australian availability of the Steam Machine, Steam Frame and Steam Deck!

My quick thoughts on the new Steam Machine, Steam Frame and Steam Controller devices announced by Valve overnight. I’m definitely keen… but I also have some reservations.

How well are Pac-Man (and other Namco classic games) represented in the Namco Legendary Pack DLC for Atari 50 — and have I finally cured myself of Pac-Man fever in the meantime? Find out in my video and written reviews!

Updated my MacBook Pro/Linux article.
With a cat photo.
Why? Because one of my most EXCELLENT supporters asked me to, and if I don't serve my readers, what's the point?

Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes the way we live.
This is not one of those times. Here’s five reasons why you shouldn’t buy an iPhone Pocket.

Tim gives solid gold awards to fascist dictators. I'm starting to have reservations about his life choices, so I'm unsure that his vision of "happiness" accords with mine.
11.11.2025 20:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I feel like happiness is achievable at much lower prices and with less waste than this. If that makes me a Grinch, then so be it.
