    Life, James Hein, Published on 13/10/2021

    » From a purely technology standpoint, why do you care if China invades Taiwan? Taiwan is a major supplier and producer of chips for technology devices. Companies from across the planet have their goods made there including giants like Samsung.

    Chip shortage over by 2023... maybe

    Life, James Hein, Published on 29/09/2021

    » The current chip shortage could should be a thing of the past by 2023... maybe. The current foundries are booked out for the rest of the year and are starting to catch up with current demand. New plants will be coming online by the end of 2022. The maybe part here is the potential shortage of raw materials needed in the fabrication process. This could be a problem by 2023, or perhaps we may have new manufacturing process by then. Fingers crossed that all is good by the end of next year.

    'Back to the future' phone

    Life, Komsan John Jandamit, Published on 08/09/2021

    » I was born in the late 70s and during my teenage years, Nokia flip-phones were a thing. I owned a few and my friends had them too. They were cool and trendy and you could slam the phone shut to end calls, which was satisfying (especially when you had an argument with someone). However, along came the iPhone in 2007 and ended the flip-phone trend. In 2021, the flip-phone trend is in again with new foldable screen tech and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G.

    Life, Komsan John Jandamit, Published on 04/08/2021

    » Last year, I reviewed the XCover Pro (bit.ly/3C16RAu) which was summed as being "rubberised all around, waterproof, drop-proof, and having swappable batteries". This year's iteration of the XCover, the XCover 5, has been tweaked to be smaller, lighter and cheaper but still as tough as its predecessor.
