Travelling is back! With a PCR-test in my back pocket and my Apple AirTag linked to my luggage, I set off to Germany last week. While lots of paperwork is just part of travel now, the looming fear of Ryanair or Aer Lingus cancelling your flights for sport is also everpresent. Sure enough that happened to me. So I jumped onto a Lufthansa flight instead and bought myself some WiFi to test out. Is it worth buying in-flight WiFi? Well, let’s find out. FlyNet: Lufthansa In-Flight WiFi Lufthansa is one of Europe’s more premium airlines. Much like buying Apple products purely because of the fruit log ..read more

It was either an unsure and rocky decision to get here or a bit of a PR stunt, but Prime Video original, Clarkson’s Farm, is coming back for a second season! Clarkson’s Farm Confirmed For Season Two I’ll do a catch-up in a minute, but I’m trying to avoid those “recipe-style” articles that give you the history of a story before the real reason you’re actually here reading this!

Ireland’s first electric scooter trial has kicked off in Dublin today. While the progress is welcome it’s a long way short of where we should be and at the launch, some completely oblivious comments from Minister Hildegarde Naughton just show how out of the loop the Irish government is. Ireland’s First E-Scooter Trial Ireland’s first e-scooter trial will take place across the five campuses of Dubin City University. The trial sees scooter service operator TIER teaming up with technology partner LUNA and the Insight research team. For the trial, TIER has made a fleet of 30 electric scooters avai ..read more

Huawei has been heavily focusing on an array of non-cellular accessories following the whole Google-ban rigmarole. When I say non-cellular, I mean things like earphones, watches and even sunglasses. When recommending tech to people, I love getting feedback and the one range that always impresses is the Huawei audio range. Needless to say, that means I was excited to see the Freebuds 4 land in for review. Here’s how it went. Huawei Freebuds 4: How They Sound It’s been a year of remote working and conference calls from me. From chatting with the team to watching press events from the comfort of ..read more

The long-awaited mid-life refresh of the Nintendo Switch is finally here and it’s… disappointing, but also kind of great? This isn’t the Switch Pro we were all expecting but it does come with several quality-of-life updates that are most welcome. It’s long been rumoured that Nintendo was cooking up something new for the Switch line of consoles and we all assumed that that meant a more powerful model was on its way. Sadly, the console we got is not more powerful than its predecessors, which will put many off straight away. We, however, are here to tell you exactly what it does have and why, if ..read more

Codemasters have been churning out great Formula One games for years now. The biggest endorsement of their work game late last year when the studio was acquired by EA Sports. Yes, the gaming giant behind the FIFA franchise wanted to get their hands on some motorsports games, specifically F1. F1 2021 is EA Sports’ first F1 game since 2003, but how does it fare? The Highlights Of F1 2021 F1 2021 is difficult to review. I’m a massive F1 fan so I’m probably somewhat biased already. I’ve been playing F1 games from the dawn of time, but still, being totally honest, F1 2021 has made some big strides ..read more

It’s been a while since I’ve driven to work. Still, I’ve heard the traffic reports countless times, all ended with the sign-off line “AA Roadwatch”. The AA, which gathers its name from a former connection to the British Automobile Association, started to broadcast traffic reports across the airwaves 32 years ago. That’s nearly as long as I’ve been on the planet! Owing to a raft of technology now sitting in the hands of the public, the AA is ceasing their radio reports. But what are the alternatives to AA’s traffic reports? Google Maps When I first heard the AA was ceasing their reports, my fir ..read more

When I say I’ve never clicked on a video as quickly in my life. Succession is one of those shows. You know? You’ve seen chatter online about the first season, but didn’t pay it much heed. About halfway through season two, you happen to start watching it. Then you nervously watch episodes being released as you work your way through. Eventually, you arrive at the end of season two and there are months left to wait for season three. In this case, it’s literally been bloody years. The wait is over. Succession Season 3 Release Date Yes indeedy. Succession, an HBO Original Series is coming and we’ve ..read more

The ever expanding world of audio accessories isn’t just for music lovers. Gamers are arguably just as picky about their headsets, but they’re just looking for different specs.

My first ever smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy Europa i5500. From there, I graduated to the iPhone 3GS before the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I had a brief stint with an iPhone 5c as a work phone but other than that, my daily rider has been Android. I’ve been massively critical of iPhone for years. Their underwhelming launches are repackaged features from five-year-old Android phones. So when I got my hands on the iPhone 12, I expected to be testing it for a few weeks before returning to my Google Pixel 5. It’s been a few months and I’m still using the iPhone. Here’s why. iPhone 12 Design The iPhone ..read more
