Review

Over the past several months, I’ve seen a huge influx of hoverboard in my neighbourhood, in the downtown core where I work, and along the sea wall in Vancouver where many go to bike, blade, or run on a sunny day. The popularity of hoverboards is soaring, but what are they all about? Well, I was recently given the opportunity to take the Swagtron Hands Free Hoverboard for a test ride, so here’s my take on these new modes of transportation.

The Last of Us Part I has seen a massive overhaul that takes advantage of new hardware with spectacular visuals, improved gameplay and audio.

 No Canadian is immune to the dangers of a good power outage and many of us aren’t really prepared for everything that you need to protect when it happens. Sure you’ve probably got candles sitting around but what do you have to keep power to your electronics? Gas generators aren’t an option for everybody but the Goal Zero Yeti can be. It’s compact, has good battery life and can even recharge itself using solar panels.

A dedicated Wi-Fi 6 gaming router has arrived. The TP-Link Archer GX-90 AX6600 features Game Accelerator to reduce game latency and boost game speed.

Wi-Fi has become the common link between a huge range of the devices we use at home, but it can also be the weakest link. Especially if your router is an older model. If your Wi-Fi network doesn’t seem to be performing up to snuff and there are dead zones where the signal is weak, then you could replace the router. Or you could turn to an alternate solution, such as D-Link’s DAP-1650 Dual Band Gigabit Range Extender/ Wi-Fi Upgrade kit. That name is a mouthful, but in a nutshell, this is a device you can use instead of replacing that router. It’s a less expensive option, for most people it will mean less fuss than having to configure a new wireless router and it delivers many of the upgrades available in the latest Wi-Fi technology.

The Logitech MX Master 4 mouse and Signature Slim Solar+ K980 keyboard are a one-two punch for desktop productivity when paired together.

Despite being two decades old, Pikmin 1 and 2 are still as fun as they were when they first released. My review inside!
