Getting‌ ‌a‌ ‌Smart‌ ‌TV‌ ‌this‌ ‌Christmas?‌ ‌Go‌ ‌for‌ ‌Android!‌ ‌

The‌ ‌smart‌ ‌televisions‌ ‌I’ve‌ ‌owned‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌past‌ ‌have‌ ‌bugged‌ ‌me‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌number‌ ‌of‌ ‌reasons.‌ ‌Firstly, and‌ ‌especially‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌first‌ ‌“early”‌ ‌versions,‌ ‌you’d‌ ‌find‌ ‌the‌ ‌whole‌ ‌experience‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌slow. Secondly,‌ ‌the‌ ‌apps‌ ‌were‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌clunky‌ ‌and‌ ‌thirdly,‌ ‌they‌ ‌wouldn’t‌ ‌update‌ ‌very‌ ‌often. A‌ ‌modern‌ …

Oh, and not only that but they also make your social media usage completely data-free. Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram …

In video. A phone without the Google Apps.

(Article updated with working YouTube videos) Just yesterday I tried to get a Honor 9X Pro to be a bit more “Googley”. I had a small element of success but things do tend to get worse, as I’ll explain here. Sadly, due to a ban on Huawei (and …

At last! Cast your Prime Video to Chromecast

Enormous unnecessary Brexit rant and remote mouse killer. Engage!

This was going to be a look at a slightly bizarre gadget. However, I’ve lost all concept of the word “bizarre” nowadays. To be honest here in Britain we’re so far down the rabbit hole right now, everything else kinda seems normal. Boris Johnson? Seriously? The guy flat …

Amazon Prime discount ends tonight

Something very weird started happening in 2016. Elections and referendums have resulted in people voting for insane / controversial / new directions, depending on your opinion.

Upload your entire cat photo collection to Amazon

I mentioned fairly recently that you could get some pretty sizeable online storage from a variety of places but Amazon wasn’t included. It’s worth considering though, because they’ve now added the ability to upload an unlimited amount of photos if you’re using their Prime service. Unlimited? Is that …

Asus lock the Prime bootloader, developers not happy

The Asus Transformer Prime has kinda fell out of love with the developers over on XDA-Developers. No ROMs can be flashed to this device because the bootloader is locked down with 128 bit encryption. This is the same trick that HTC did, but then they eventually did a …

We kinda thought this might happen when we first saw the Asus Transformer Prime. The Asus device, which “transforms” with a detachable keyboard, is the target of legal action from toy-maker Hasbro.
