Reunited with my first real laptop, the ThinkPad 700C at the Lenovo Yamato Lab

Last week I was reunited with my first laptop in my coming of age years. Technically it was not the first. In the late 80’s was tinkering with a white Toshiba laptop with touting the first liquid crystal display at that time, a huge upgrade from my 4-color CGA 386 desktop. I digress. The IBM […]

Productivity is the sum of its parts with the Ayaneo 2s

I’ve been reviewing portable gaming handheld devices for the better part of 2024. More than being a gaming companion when I am waiting in line for my turn at the counter, I’ve become fixated with these portable devices as productivity tools since they all, save for the Steam Deck, run Windows 11. I’ve been showing […]

Unboxing the Boya mini wireless lavalier mic

So small. So good. From afar the Boya mini mic dock looks like a typical pair of wireless earbuds. It’s only upon further inspection that you’ll realize they’re mics. That’s because both lavaliers come with puffy windscreens that also look like in-ears. I was lucky to have bagged these as an evaluation unit from JG […]

Using GCash in Japan, ‘Star Trek’ translators on the Samsung Galaxy series

Like many Filipinos, I recently took a trip to Japan over the Holy Week. Not to see the cherry blossoms’ first bloom, but to dwell into an irony that many travelers have observed in their sojourns to the Land of the Rising Sun. That is, as high-tech and quirky the Japanese can be with robots, […]

WiFi 7 ready TP-Link Archer BE230 router is only P5,990

I’ve learned the hard way that setting up your home WiFi system might be a little trickier than expected. In fact, the only time you know that everything works perfectly is when you don’t notice it’s working well: your movies are streaming, your downloads are working, your games have great ping. But once your connection […]

Pure bliss: HUAWEI Pura 70 Pro

As a tech journalist I have had a long career following HUAWEI and the products it has launched in the country. I remember how they made the first LTE dongle for SMART when it debuted 4G in the Philippines back in 2011. I was there when they released the most affordable Windows Mobile phone ‘Ascend‘ […]

Comment on 10 Board Games set in the Philippines by Quintin

Hello! I was online looking for the rules for a Filipino game I have simply called “Strategy Game” it looks almost like checkers. Anyway, very good article! I was wondering as well, is GOG a “Stratego” copy? It definitely seems like it’s the same. Thanks P.S. my wife is a filipina and we’ve been married for 31 years and actually lived in Manila doing missionary work in the mid 90s

Comment on Did Facebook replace Frame Studio for Spark AR? by JohnS

I guess it's about "Facebook control' --- yes, they only seem to want their own 'favorite causes' to be able to create these profile frames. That's very unfortunatete. Is it possible to create your own with an appropriately transparent PNG file to get around FB's limitation?

Comment on Did Facebook replace Frame Studio for Spark AR? by Sue K

Doesn't work and Facebook is turning it off world wide. Only their pet projects can now post frames. Clean air, Covid and something else a rare few can access the frames. they are also taking frames off of profiles one by one.

I can't use it either it says creator is unavailable to create new frames !

As we grow older, we take on new roles supporting our parents. Writing for me is therapeutic so I will compile my thoughts in due time.

Comment on Remembering my father, Digoy Fernandez by Sonnie

Hi Jayvee, I was checking an old (2016) post where you gave tips to succeed on blogging. clicked on your url and glad that your site is still online. My dad battled covid last April and it was a roller coaster experience. He insisted of home care, being confined to a hospital or sent to an isolation facility might be his trip to the next life without saying proper goodbyes. Tatay survived but it was scary. As we ourselves and our parents got old, saying our goodbyes is closer to reality and must weigh our options early on how we want it done. My condolences to you and your family.
