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.

Interesting, thanks for bringing it up... ill see what I can do this year to get any old and missing media at least up somewhere
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.
The transformation is COMPLETE!

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)

Bit awkward the power going out during the first event of the winter Olympics 🤣 (also I bloody love curling)
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.

It was a better time.
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

I need to get a new battery for mine to test... but mine still has the original battery and is still getting over 2 hours
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!

Na not REALLY but was looking at doing a new build for a youtube video.... but with these prices that's a big old nope 🤣
2026 is going to be a rough year for sure. And not just for buying RAM...im sure device manufacturers are going to be bumping prices all over the place
Good good, can't possibly make it affordable to build a pc. That would be silly.
Will Meme for RAM
Guess ill be sticking on DDR4 for a while longer 😂
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. 🐧

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:
