CMF Watch Pro 2

CMF Watch Pro 2Since I did a review of the CMF Watch Pro 1 in conjunction with my experiment running /e/OS on a used Pixel 6 Pro I figured I'd give the new Watch Pro a try. It's a lot like the prior model and somehow both more and less comfortable at the same time. This is going to be a short post for now, but I might add some more details as I sit with it a bit longer.

I've had the watch for a couple of days now, and am in the process of trying it out. Much like its predecessor, it's unlikely to supplant my... Read More

CMF Watch Pro

CMF Watch Pro showing a watchfaceLast week, I did an experiment with /e/OS on a Pixel 6 Pro and in the process I also wanted to use some CMF accessories with it. That part was driven by how impressed I was with the CMF Buds Pro (have a look at my headphones page for more) at their price point so I thought the watch might also be great.



Sidebar, apparently there’s also a CMF phone en route.



Let’s dive right in.

Little Kitty, Big City

Little Kitty Big City LogoOverall: A+ go get it.

Little Kitty Big City just came out on May 9th, and I've been playing it for a few hours now and I absolutely love it.

Like one of my other favorite cat-themed game, Stray (honorable mention to Catlateral Damage) in Little Kitty, Big City you take on the role of a house cat who finds themselves on the street unexpectedly and has to make their way home. Along the way you interact with other animals in the city, as well as the throngs of faceless humans wandering... Read More

Writing Tablet Showdown

It even does custom screen saversI’ve searched long and hard for the perfect writing tablet for me, and I’ve found it in Supernote. It’s the perfect blend of “write-on-able”, readability, and features. It often features in blog posts over on Cthonic Studios because it also makes it super easy to make character sheets, do some quick doodles, and has several nice features.

But, I want to spend a bit of time talking about the other things I’ve tried and wound up walking away from (I’ve provided Amazon Affiliate links for... Read More

ROG Ally

ROG Ally docked to the XG MobileI don’t have a handheld gaming problem, I swear.

Okay. Maybe I have a bit of a handheld gaming problem. See, when we last talked about this, one of the key things that I outlined as a requirement for my gaming handheld was the ability to connect an external GPU to the thing so that I could play it on a desktop with decent performance.

While I could eventually do that with the Ayaneo 2, the process was extremely fiddly and prone to breaking any time there was a software update. Likewise, you had... Read More

Teracube 2e

The Teracube 2e is a budget phone that promises to be more eco-friendly than your typical phone by committing to 3 years of updates as well as affordable repairs for 4 years (which is also the duration of the standard warranty), while also promising features and hardware that will remain relevant for that time. All of this for the low price of $199.

I've found that it generally lives up to its promises, but had to make several (and sometimes bizarre) compromises to get there.

I picked this up... Read More
