Best External SSDs in 2020

I started using filming a few things on a new camera not too long ago: the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. And as the name suggests, it can shoot in 6K (and in RAW format) all of that to say though that the files I’m working with because of it, are not small ones. So, while I do have my Samsung T5 that I am a big fan of, the new camera did get me to start researching to see what newer external SSDs might now be available in 2020 that might be a good replacement. I then proceeded to

Best Portable AC Outlet You Can Buy

Batteries suck. It’s just a fact of life at the moment. And because of that fact, portable battery packs have become a very popular way of making sure your electronics are topped up whenever you need. And they’re great. They’re only hindered by the fact that they’re generally pretty limited in capacity and whatever you are trying to charge, needs to be able to be charged by USB for the most part. But what if one of these had a full-blown AC outlet on it, heck, what if it had two? This is the ChargeTech PLUG portable AC outlet battery

How to Back Up Your iPhone Locally While You Sleep

We’ve all been there. Something happens to your iPhone and it’s then that you realize the last time you backed it up was over 6 months ago–all those photos are gone. There is a way to avoid this, of course, and that’s by doing daily backups, you can do these through iCloud wirelessly automatically which is great, but what if you want to back them up to somewhere locally. Say on a hard drive that only you can access and isn’t stored on the web? Is there a way to make this happen automatically without having to think about it?

This $200 Toothbrush Might Actually Be Worth It

Philips reached out before I left for Hawaii for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit event and asked if I’d be interested in trying out their suped-up Sonicare DiamondClean Smart toothbrush on my trip. I was hesitant, at first as I use a manual toothbrush and really am not sure why people really need electric ones, but I said: “Sure, why not. I wonder what a $200 toothbrush is like, anyway.” This is the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart. Firstly, it doesn’t look or feel like any other toothbrush I’ve ever used. The model I have is technically the Philips Sonicare Sonicare DiamondClean Smart

The Best Monitor Mounts (& How to Mount Your Monitor With Them)

Looking to get multiple monitors for your desk setup? Instead of just putting them on a stand, why not get a proper monitor mount for them and make them infinitely adjustable at a moment’s notice and clear up more desk space. Now the word mount I feel has a connotation that it involves a lot of tools and is difficult to do. But, a company whose TV mounts I always recommend (and just happen to be one of the top selling on Amazon, as well) just started making computer monitor mounts so I figured I’d check them out in this
