I bought the "viral" tech from TikTok Shop so you don’t have to! 🛒💻
From a £10 projector that actually WORKS to a £7 "1TB" SD card that is a total scam, I’m testing it all.

Everything is still on www.droidcon.com/content/ it will be a big lift to get it moved over to Youtube but that is something i would love to get done in the future. Perhaps on a separate channel.

I bought a "tested" ZX Spectrum on eBay... and it arrived broken. 🙃
In my latest video, I dive into fixing it!
It’s not perfect yet (that video output is... rough)

I turned a 2005 Power Mac G5 into a public Minecraft server. 🖥️⛏️
We are LIVE right now. I've enabled "Offline Mode" so you can even join from your own vintage hardware!

I finally replaced my M1 MacBook setup with the M4 Max Studio.
Is the jump from M1 to M4 really that big? Short answer: Yes.
Stop waiting for the M5. If you need the power, get it now.

An eye-level, medium shot of a desktop computer setup featuring an open Apple Power Mac G5 tower on a dark grey desk surface. The silver aluminum case of the computer, on the left, has its side panel removed, revealing internal components and a large heat sink with a prominent "G5" logo. Cables connect the tower to a black Dell monitor on the right, which displays a Mac OS X desktop with a blue and pink aurora borealis wallpaper and a dock at the bottom. In front of the monitor is a wired Apple Pro Keyboard and a white Apple Pro Mouse
Finally got my hands on a last gen G5 Power mac, Dual Core 2.3Ghz, Came with 4GB RAM but of course ill be upgrading to 16GB 😉

I pushed the SLOWEST Intel Mac Mini to its limit!
From a Core Solo & 512MB RAM to to something usable
It cost me time, a lot of trial & error, and literally blood (casing is sharp!).
Is it actually usable now? Find out here: youtu.be/7IRgPnywvOY

Is £200 too much for a webcam?
I tested the Yolocam S3 against the Logitech C930e & Insta360 Link 2C. The results?
✅ Best-in-class low light ✅ Vibrant, accurate colors 🌈
Worth every penny. Full review: youtu.be/ZibTmBl3g8s

Can a £70 MacBook from 2014 CRUSH a £300 modern Chromebook? 💻🔥
I installed Ubuntu on an MacBook Air (i7/8GB) and the benchmarks are shocking. Twice the performance for a fraction of the price!

Screen shot from amazon showing a Corair DDR5 32GB set (2x16GB) for £349.99 Below it is a Crucial DDR5 128GB set (2x64GB) for £921.99
I know we are in a RAM shortage... but these prices are wild.

I tried replacing Windows 11 with Bazzite on my RTX 4060. 🐧
📉 Doom: Tanked on Linux 📈 Cyberpunk: Faster on Linux! 🛑 Fallout: Frame locked
The harsh truth: If you have an Nvidia GPU, Windows is still king. 👑

Finally got Linux on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go (Jasper Lake)! 🔓
The battery disconnect trick failed, so I had to bridge specific pads on the motherboard to flash the firmware.
See how I did it + gaming tests:
