  • UGreen 300W GaN Charger review: Fast-charging with lots of high-power USB-C

    This company makes many products that are not UL certified. Nor do they contain any other lesser-known OSHA approved safety certifications. Is this one of those products? It’s hard to tell from the marketing photos, so I would hold off on these until more user review photos are posted. Unless things like that aren’t important to you, of course. 

    Caveat emptor.

  • Hands on: Apple's new iPhone 15 silicone cases

    So far, every case I’ve seen on the Apple Store app for the new iPhone Pro Max is drab and depressing. I’m on the update program so I’ll be getting that model. And I definitely need a case or I WILL drop it. Last year they had these colorful Otterbox Figura case’s—but for some reason this year’s version of that case is… yup, drab and depressing. 

    So, I’m wondering, is there a department of people, I guess ‘colorists’ might be their job title, who have decided that this year everyone will have a dark outlook on life? Were the managers telling the workers, “less color, less color! That design has too much energy!” Or words to that effect? It’s a mystery. 
    I was thinking the same thing. Watch bands too.

  • HiRise 3 Deluxe review: A luxurious, Apple-blessed MagSafe charger

    Now that I’ve seen a black MagSafe charger, I may never buy another white one again. If they fix that Watch puck, this would be the perfect 3-1 for me. I have the Belkin one, but its footprint is too massive. I really like this.

    Can’t wait for Phantom Liberty either. Did you see they are having the Night City Wire Event tomorrow?
    Tomorrow has a bunch of goodies. Got a Night City Wire sandwiched between a Nintendo Direct and a Sony State of Play. I don't expect a lot from the State of Play (third-party and indie focused), but the Nintendo Direct is supposed to have one banger.

    BG3 is easily GOTY, so it's really cool to finally see it come to Mac after the delay (which all things considered wasn't too terrible.)
    Thursday should be a fun day. Personally, I’m hoping that banger is a new F-Zero. 

    I can’t wait to play BG3 once I clear through some of my backlog. I was going to get it on the PS5, but now I think I’ll get the Mac version instead. 
    Regarding F-Zero: just watched the Nintendo direct announcement. That was really disappointing. I was hoping for a modern remake of the game. Instead it’s the original and only available as an online option for people who subscribe to Nintendo’s subscription service. Boo!!!!!
    Agreed, that was a bit of a let down re: F-Zero. But I’m not discouraged because Nintendo is obviously putting a lot of effort into resurrecting some long dormant IP like this and Metroid. Hopefully this is just a first step to reacquaint gamers with F-Zero before releasing a modernized version on the Switch 2. Possibly even in VR.
