By: HGR
Power cuts are coming! Correction Power cuts are already happening in the UK with increasing frequency! Yes we can protect computers with UPS but most tend to run for more than a few minutes, just enough time to gracefully shut down systems and protect from current surges. What we need is a Power Station, a portable take anywhere power station that continues to let the juice flow over over an hour!

We'll depends on how much one is willing to pay, have to settle on what's practical and affordable, which is why I wrote off all of the cheaper options because they would not be able to power anything worth powering, might as well get a big power bank brick instead!

AMAZON Christmas SCAMS WARNING - Buyers Beware. Always CHECK What You Buy / ConsumerWatch / Shopping
By: HGR
Tis the season for Amazon SCAMS! What is wrong with Amazon?? About 1 in 6 of the items I buy tend to turn out to be SCAMS! Some scams are less obvious than others i.e. I bought a WD Blue drive and was sent a 10 year old HGSTR drive with a Blue label stuck on it.
Today's scam delivery was more obvious, I paid for 60 TEPE Easypick Dental Picks and instead they delivered just 24! Looking at the Amazon comments show this supplier does this on a regular basis with numerous customers.
