D-Link AX3000 WiFi 6 PCIe Adapter review
Posted on 19-Jan-2021 11:47

Desktop computers are generally used in a fixed location - size and weight, the need of external keyboard, mouse and monitor(s) all decide where you can have those machines in your office or home. But sometimes access to an ethernet port throws your best layout plans in disarray and you might end up having to accept it will live in a less than optimal location.How can you add these to a wireless network?...

MAD CATZ R.A.T 8+ ADV mouse review
Posted on 30-Nov-2020 17:27

Gaming is a serious business and there are plenty of options out there for input devices - all sorts of keyboard, mouse and controller devices.

I had a conversation with someone a while ago about Unifi Protect and the fact it only works on a Cloudkey. Since a Cloudkey is just an 64bit ARM I thought I would try installing it on an ODroid C2.
