HELM DB12 AAAMP Review: Makes Mobile Audio LOUD

It’s not hard making audio louder.

It’s a bit more difficult making audio louder without adding a ton of noise or distortion. HELM has an option on presale to add 12dB of clean gain to any device rocking a 3.5mm headset jack.

The question is though, in a world of gadgets losing the 3.5mm, who might this little gadget be for? Continue reading “HELM DB12 AAAMP Review: Makes Mobile Audio LOUD”

ZeroLemon 90W 4-Port Charger: Not what I thought it was!

It’s always a funny quirk when you complain about something in a review, and then a company reaches out with something that helps solve that complaint. ZeroLemon has been solving a number of my problems of late.

Replacing the battery in my Note 4. Adding some run time in the field on my Pixel 4.

And now helping me charge my Pixelbook Go.

How the Pixelbook Go became our Family Computer

My favorite “unnecessary” Star Trek tech is in the Holodeck.

That mini-nerd rant aside, the Pixelbook Go has become our family’s “Arch”. And we love it. Continue reading “How the Pixelbook Go became our Family Computer”
