New review time (text/video, take your pick) as I put Anker’s new Qi2-ready MagGo Power Bank 10K through its paces. It’s a big power bank… best suited for big iPhones. Click the link to read and watch!

There will now be a brief working pause while I go run 5km, as part of #TheMay50K.

During that brief pause, why not donate to sponsor me to run EVEN more?

New review time (text and video) as I test out one of the most gorgeous chargers I’ve ever reviewed, the Twelve South Butterfly.

But beauty, it turns out, has a price.

A steep price.

It's retro game of the week time once again, and once again I'm playing Pinball -- in this case, Super Pinball: Behind The Mask for the SNES.

What lurks behind the mask is... not great.

It’s #Parkrun time. Tail walking today, so my timing will be lousy… but today I also hit the 100km mark for #TheMay50k ! https://www.themay50k.org/fundraisers/alexkidman/the-may-50k-2024

Wow. Just discovered that there's still a market in dodgy anti-EMF pendants.

Also that Internet advertising algorithms are so bad, so inaccurate that they think there's any point at all in trying to push that utter junk in my direction. I mean, I could report the ad, but what would the point be? The big ad concerns -- your metas, googles and all -- clearly don't give a tinker's cuss, they just want their cut of the money.

Today in scams, a dodgy MyGov email with a handy QR code to help you log in and claim an early tax refund!

Which is, of course, a SCAM. A total and absolute scam.

Do feature phones still have a place in 2024? Absolutely, but what’s it like to use one? I’ve been testing out the Aspera F50 to find out. Here's my full text and video review!

Over at Gizmodo Au, I've reviewed the ASUS ROG Phone 8: A gaming phone with a difference. Actually several, though it's still probably not the premium phone for everyone...

This is my shocked face.

Why shocked?

Because I just hit 100.9% of my donation total for #TheMay50K (with thanks to Brodie F, Ray S and Chris B) -- and I have NO intention of stopping now! I'm going to keep running (tomorrow) but you can still donate TODAY!

Reminder: The Apple 100 best albums list is a clever marketing exercise, but like most listicles, it's mostly there to draw attention and outrage in equal measure.

Like the music you like, maybe use such lists to expand your musical horizons, but ultimately music is there to be experienced and enjoyed. Different people will appreciate different things and THAT'S OK.

New Video! 30 Seconds of Tech, taking on the Asus Vivobook S 15, the company's first Copilot+ Windows 11 machine.

Well... taking on in a limited way. A very limited way...

Do I have an opinion on Microsoft's big push for Copilot+ PCs?

You bet I do.

At Gizmodo Au, I've dived into the details (that we know) and the problems (more than just the one...)
