While it is questionable if gaming phones are necessary, it sure isn’t stopping companies from launching them and packing them full with specs. This is the new ASUS ROG Phone II and it might be the highest spec phone out. While the original ROG Phone was already pretty impressive spec-wise, the second version here just adds even more on top of that. Now, ASUS gave a few of us some time last week with the […]

How to Make a DIY Smart Home Security System (No Monthly Fees!)

We no longer live in a time wherein order to have a security system at home, you have to call the likes of ADT, Brinks, or some other giant security conglomerate to come and install expensive cameras, alarms, etc. and then charge you a ridiculous monthly fee to “monitor” your home for you. Instead, there are a ton of smart home devices that can easily be used to create a smart home security system that

How to Set a Video as Your Background on Android

Android has been able to set a Live Wallpaper for a long time. These are specially-packaged wallpapers that you can download from the Play Store and when you set them as your background, they have animations (or are full-blown video loops) that play in the background. But what if you don’t like any of the live wallpapers out there and feel like your videography skills have made a way better potential video wallpaper already just

When I first saw the Razer Blade 15 OLED at CES earlier this year, I wasn’t yet told anything about it yet and it was just sitting on a coffee table in a back room at the Razer booth.

Sony XB900N Complete Walkthrough: Amazing Noise Cancellation for Less

I did a video not too long ago on the Sony WH-1000M3 noise-canceling headphones and, long story, short? I (and most reviewers I know, loved them). They were good looking, had great sound and noise cancellation, were comfortable, etc. The only thing that would stop you from buying them if you were in the market for over-the-ear noise canceling headphones, was maybe the price.
