GOSPACE Supercharger — A Battery and Charger in One
GOSPACE Supercharger Wall Charger/Battery I’m going to do something I don’t think I’ve done before, and that’s review a piece of hardware that I don’t own.

Dyson V7 Motorhead Vacuum Every once in a while I like to go completely off the rails and review something that barely (if at all) overlaps into the technology world. This is one of those times. For Christmas I asked Steve for the Dyson V7 Motorhead cordless vacuum cleaner … in the color fuchsia. I […]

Followup — Scanning for Cameras The story we covered last time about a hidden camera being found in an Irish AirBnB got a conversation going on the NosillaCast Slack. The story revolved around a New Zealand family who stayed in an AirBnB in Cork, Ireland. The father was an IT guy, and he scanned the […]
