When smartphones were becoming a big thing, the push was to have the smallest phone out there. Then, realizing their potential, manufacturers made a 180-degree turn and started making them bigger and bigger. Like how the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a 6.3” screened behemoth. As smartphones continue to get bigger, desktop computing has also taken a 180-degree turn. Instead of having the biggest desktop tower, it’s becoming more practical and desirable to have a smaller tower instead. New processors are far more energy and heat efficient, motherboards need less room to do more things, and we generally are…

It is the beginning of December at the time of writing this review and we have just received our first two to three inches of snow. As the white powder falls from the sky and we brave the cold weather, our cars can take a serious environmental beating. A car’s battery is meant to be used to start your engine when you turn the key or press the start button. Once the engine is running, the car’s alternator will supply the rest of the power. The battery is needed to keep the car’s electrical accessories running when the engine is…

Contrary to popular belief, building a desktop computer is a fun, educational, and easy thing to do. By working with your hands and taking your time along the way, you can efficiently and effectively create a full-blown working computer to use to your heart’s content. We highly recommend that you take the time to build your own custom computer. Prebuilt or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) computers are known to be built with lower quality components and may encounter failures sooner or fall behind in technology at an accelerated rate. With this guide, we hope to outline what to do when…
Ten years ago, Steve Jobs walked onto a stage to introduce a revolutionary update to a device that would change technology to what we know today. His vision and innovation of “fixing” an existing product was Apple’s propelling push to the technology giant they are today. Apple’s original iPhone was a 3.5-inch displayed device and ever since then, smartphones have gotten a lot, lot bigger. My daily driver is the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus with a 6.2-inch display, nearly double the original iPhone. When purchasing this phone, I was afraid that the screen size would be unwieldy, but it turns…
In today’s world, we’ve heavily transitioned from physical documents to electronic ones that are stored on electronic media. We’ve become so reliant on our digital lives that it would be near impossible to continue everyday life without it. People can snap a thousand photos within minutes and share them with another person halfway across the world; one single email can get you to a customer service agent, or a document can contain all of your personal notes from a work event. There are limitless items that can be stored digitally, so why are we so careless at how we store…
One of my prized possessions is my car. Recall the old car insurance TV commercial where the man is washing his giant baby, taking it out to the park, and doing everything with it. It’s not until the end of the commercial that the giant baby turns into a car indicating that his car is his baby. This is me. Yet, for as much care as I take care of the car, it still has its faults that need to be worked on. Some are common, some make noises before they fail, and other just fail without warnings. One of…
A prized possession of a lot of us is our car and automobiles. To most people its how we commute, to others, it’s their livelihood. Instead of horses, we rely heavily on automobiles to transfer ourselves, goods, and services. Therefore, it’s easy to get into a bind if your car happens to break down. When the dreaded ‘check engine’ light is illuminated in an automobile, the car’s computer detects a fault in the emission system and is attempting to report the problem to the driver. A common fault is an oxygen (O2) sensor failure and such a failure puts the…
Warcraft is well known for its many, many fantastic character quotes and sound effects. The sounds in the game are so iconic that they are still used today in many games outside of the Blizzard universe. One of those sound effects is when an Orc Tauren chieftain is spawned into the game and he softly says “May my ancestors watch over me”. The words to me are so powerful because it’s as if he is asking the heavens to watch his back and protect his actions. In a bizarre way, I relate this quote to a car dash camera. It’s…
I’ve been fortunate enough to have reviewed some of technology’s greatest inventions and some products that are perfect in every single way, though none of them have had a bigger impact on my reviewing process than the eero system. Eero had just started its business in 2014 when I first caught wind of them. When I began to look into the company, everything they had listed on their website sounded right, looked right, and seemed promising. In their story, they mention how “the foundation of home technology has been broken for far too long” and that instantly meant something to…
