Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Before we can wholeheartedly jump into this review of Stix Golf’s budget-minded clubs, we’ll need to acknowledge one fact: Stix Golf clubs are intended for golfers who aren’t yet good at playing golf. Mid- or low-handicap players would find them inadequate for passionate, devoted play, but newcomers will really appreciate the simplicity, and the price tag. By knowing what they’re about and who they’re selling to out there, Stix manages to build the right equipment for the right player. Still, the idea driving Stix into the golf market is that even rookie players or less passionate golfers deserve a good looking set of clubs built well enough to play the game. Stix accomplishes that mission with aplomb, selling new, full sets of 14 clubs for $999, classic sets for $799 and casual sets for $699. Buyers who think that’s a little steep can buy in with lightly-used sets for even less. No matter who the developing, casual or … [Read more...] about Stix Golf Clubs Review: Beginner Clubs That Are Better Than Rookies Expect

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It took a while, but Bandai Spirits has followed up with some brand new S.H.Figuarts figures from The Mandalorian and they are both entirely great. To back up a little bit, back when The Mandalorian was airing, Bandai Spirits had a pretty thorough line of S.H.Figuarts releases for the show. These being nicely articulated action figures, normally with a wide array of accessories. From the starting armor variant of Mando , to the shinier Beskar armor version . We even got a nice little figure of Grogu to scale as well. However, when it came to Boba Fett, the only version in the S.H.Figuarts line we had was the 2019 release from Return of the Jedi . That was a lovely figure, but it wasn’t up to date with what we saw in The Mandalorian . Anyway, the good news is that we now have an all-new Mando , even shinier this time, and a properly chunky Boba Fett . When it comes to Mando, he now … [Read more...] about S.H.Figuarts Mandalorian And Boba Fett Toy Review: The Mando Bros

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Australian-based tech company ALOGIC recently announced a range of new chargers with enough power to charge a laptop, smartphones and other gadgets that make our life on the road a little more bearable. The innovative brand’s new GaN chargers have been made with the digital nomad in mind, so I decided to get a couple of them in for review. The first product to cross my desk was the ALOGIC 67W multi-country GaN wall charger. This compact little unit is small because GaN technology makes it possible to reduce the size of the charger and boost its efficiency, creating less heat. Compared with the old-style silicon technology used in traditional chargers, this latest generation of charging technology is a significant improvement. The ALOGIC 67W multi-country GaN wall charger is ideal for powering and charging phones, tablets and laptops. The kit is housed in a high-quality, zippered textile case that also includes … [Read more...] about Reviewed: These Two ALOGIC GaN Chargers Are Ideal For Travelers

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An iRobot robot vacuum has been on my wishlist since the day I set foot in my first apartment. The thought of a little machine effortlessly whirring around my floor picking up dog hair and dust was too good to be true. Though there’s a time and a place for a stick vacuum , I excitedly accepted this assignment for a Roomba 694 review to put the gadget to the test using common messes found in my home. As the mom of a 17-month-old baby girl and a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix, there’s no shortage of messes in my house, so I wanted to see if Roomba’s most affordable robot vacuum was up to basic, everyday cleaning tasks. I wanted to test how well this robot vacuum could avoid cords, shoes and laundry without getting tangled in a mess, overheating and giving up. I put this vacuum cleaner to work over the course of six months and observed how it cleaned carpets, wood floors and tile. Though the Roomba 694 isn’t the … [Read more...] about Roomba 694 Review: The Best Roomba For Daily Maintenance

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Don’t you just hate it when people tell you that you’ll only start liking a game after playing it for two, five, or ten hours? I know I do–I’m in my mid-30s and rarely have enough spare time for another failed attempt at GoldenEye 007 ’s Silo on 00 Agent. Well, sorry to be That Guy, because I implore everyone to give Inkulinati as much time as it needs to make sense–the investment is well worth it. Serving as the debut for Polish indie studio Yaza Games, Inkulinati is a Monty Python-esque, medieval-themed strategy game where you use “living ink” to paint a range of sentient animal fighters onto a linear battlefield to defeat your enemy, while also defending your own avatar–your Tiny Inkulinati Master. Just don’t let its charming looks deceive you into thinking it’s straightforward. Scratching Inkulinati ’s surface reveals a deep, complex roguelike with deck-building elements that combine with slots, range, special … [Read more...] about ‘Inkulinati’ Review (Xbox): Compelling, Comedic Combat

Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group India's ministry of corporate affairs has started a preliminary review of Adani Group's financial statements and other regulatory submissions made over the years, two senior government officials told Reuters on Friday. Adani Group has denied allegations by U.S.-based short-seller Hindenburg Research of improper use of offshore tax havens and stock manipulation, saying it has "no basis" and is due to an ignorance of Indian law. The Indian conglomerate has also said it has always made necessary regulatory disclosures. Adani Group is battling a stock market rout which was triggered by the Hindenburg report on Jan. 24 and this week scrapped a $2.5 billion share sale. The ministry's review marks the latest scrutiny of the Adani Group, but a first by the federal government in New Delhi.

There is a theory called “Dunbar’s number” that the maximum number of people we can really know or relationships we can really manage is 150. Executives know when it comes to running a high-functioning business, they need to foster keystone people and manage out anyone who isn’t working out. To do that, they need to really know the people who work at their company. In an office, proximity can give them a good sense of that—they see who’s going to meetings, who’s got people stopping by their desk, and who gets chatted up at the water cooler. So, according to Dunbar’s number, that means that up until a company reaches roughly 150 employees, in an in-person workplace, the executives probably have a decent grasp on who everyone is, roughly what they do, and how they’re performing. But when a company moves to remote or hybrid work, CEOs and other executives lose that peripheral vision—they only see who they’re actively in meetings with. And that Dunbar’s number shrinks; some … [Read more...] about How remote and hybrid work broke performance reviews

Alienware is a brand synonymous with gaming. The company is renowned for its over-the-top approach in gaming desktops and laptops, not to mention their unique aesthetics. However, the Alienware X15 laptop arrives in a new world, where manufacturers are looking to slim down and deviate from the traditional chunky gaming laptop designs. With the X15 R2, Alienware accomplishes this by offering a powerful gaming laptop in a thin and light design. I never got around to testing the Alienware X15 R1, so this is my first experience with Alienware’s slimmest gaming laptop series. But just how much has Alienware had to compromise to deliver a powerful gaming laptop in this slim chassis, let’s find out! Design and Build First off, it is nice to say that despite the slim form factor, Alienware has retained its traditional futuristic design on the X15 R2. The notebook is offered in a Lunar Light dual colour scheme, which tends to stand out from the matte black crowd. The off-white lid … [Read more...] about Alienware X15 R2 Review: A premium yet portable gaming laptop that packs a powerful punch
