I completed a Masters Degree just so someone might take my opinions seriously one day. Also writes about video games over at Critical Hit.

The follow up to 2018’s X-T3 and Fujifilm’s new flagship model of the X series, the X-T4 is a monster of a camera. Sporting a range of new tech for both photographers and videographers, this latest addition to Fujifilm’s catalogue is making one huge effort to stand out from the crowd. Fujifilm is back at it again with an announcement of their next flagship camera, the X-T4. Beyond the fact that it has a really cool name that could have been ripped from just about any Terminator film, the X-T4 mirrorless camera sounds like the next big step forward for…

With Rain’s expansion into the territory of 5G Internet, it would seem that the future lies within their incredible high-speed data packages. Yet, while the service is well priced, maybe do a little research before jumping headfirst into the future. In an effort to make the wonders of 5G just a little more accessible to everyone, Rain has revealed that they will introduce a brand new Internet plan into the fold. Named the “Standard Plan”, it will cost users R700 per month and will get them an uncapped 30mbps connection. This will replace the previous plan, which has been renamed the…

With the launch of the next generation of consoles looming like a big, exciting thunderstorm of tech, Microsoft is laying their cards on the table for all to see. New specs for the Xbox Series X have appeared and it looks like one seriously beefy machine. In a blog post published by Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, new details on the capabilities of the Xbox Series X have come to light. While some information was already known, like the inclusion of hardware-based raytracing technology, we also have a better understanding of what exactly will be under the hood of Microsoft’s…

If the Dynabook Portégé A30-E-18W has taught me anything about computers it’s that size doesn’t matter as much as you think. While the rest of the industry is obsessed with creating machines that are bigger and better than those that came before, the Portégé A30 has been designed with the opposite idea in mind. Keeping things small and (relatively) tight, this notebook has everything you’ll need to make it through the working day… if you can live with some cut corners. Making no attempts to sell the Portégé A30 as something that it’s not, Dynabook has made it very clear…

To ensure that short-time renters don’t utterly trash your spare room, Airbnb has taken steps to provide you with peace of mind as they launch their own brand of spy tech to help keep an eye on guests in a way that’s only slightly creepy. Admit it, when using an Airbnb you’ve at some point thought of treating the whole thing like a rockstar saddled with their own private room. The temptation to go on an absolute bender in Mr and Mrs van Berg’s guest cottage is often too strong and before you know it you’re throwing chairs into the…

South Africa’s getting VW’s electric vehicles at long last — on a trial basis, at least for now. This makes SA the second country in Africa to receive Volkswagen’s line of electric vehicles after their implementation in Rwanda in 2019. The e-Golf pilot project marks Volkswagen’s first step towards full-scale electric mobility in South Africa. I’m sure you’re aware at this point but the planet is currently on fire and all our cars… really aren’t helping much. With the motoring industry making pushes into electric powered vehicles around the world, it’s about time we started pulling our weight here in…

Despite the hype surrounding the return of folding phone and Motorola capitalising on their previously successful Razr phones, the reboot of the design has been causing far more problems than one would hope for. The age of folding phones was a magical times for technology. Everything was so sassy back then when you were able to end calls with an audible “clap” as your phone smashed itself together, indicating to everyone around that you were just done. It’s just not the same with touch screens. Sure, they’re more efficient and less bulky but the attitude is gone and maybe for good…

Rumours have been circulating as to the when the inevitable Battle Royale mode for Infinity Ward’s latest shooter would arrive and if the latest information drawn from dataminers is correct, Warzone could launch as early as next month. The current landscape of the video game industry is one that is littered with battle royales. Given the outlandish success of games like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds over the past three years, everyone has been on the “Last One Standing” hype train. Call of Duty got into it last year with Black Ops VI’s Blackout mode which was actually pretty great. Now…

No one is going to deny that WhatsApp groups can be very useful but I’m not about to sit here and lie by denying that they may be the worst part of modern technology. That might be hyperbolic, I’m aware, but who among us does not HATE WhatsApp groups? It’s something that apparently even WhatsApp is aware of as the latest update is trying to fix one of the biggest problems with the app. It’s the beginning of the year and you’re looking a little pudgy. Hey, no judgement! Happens to the best of us. Yet you’re not happy with…
