Today’s monitor was not sent to me by the manufacturer, as is usually the case. I bought it myself, but I’m going to be harsh on Samsung and AMD at one point or another. I can already say that in advance. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is one of a total of four QD OLED monitors on the market. It has the same 3440 x 1440p resolution and [...]
I took my time with my test report as I like to wait for the first few updates, especially with brand new devices. Especially when, as here for Bambu Lab, it’s a “bed pusher” with completely new kinematics. Although this manufacturer has made a big claim that the era of this type of printer is over, they are now offering this 3D [...]
I don’t know how long it’s actually been since MSI announced this monitor. After what feels like an eternity, the time has finally come – the MSI MEG342C QD-OLED is on my playing field. A 34-inch ultrawide monitor with a maximum resolution of 3440 x 1440p and a refresh rate of 175 Hz. The RRP of the MEG342C is 1,499 euros [...]
The patch 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 brings a lot of new features, but unfortunately also some problems. And before I go into the new features, we also need to look at the hurdles that stand in the way of a new user experience. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as a platform for demonstrating new graphics card technologies, particularly in [...]
When you open a drawer searching for something and come across thermal paste that’s 20 years old, there are two possible reactions: throw it away or give it to me for testing. The kind dealer opted for the latter, as my curiosity is known to be the last to die. It’s almost like finding a can of soup from the era of the Deutsche Mark [...]
After numerous articles, explanations, and follow-up tests, today we’re taking a different approach. I have three intriguing topics for you: the possible origin story of the 12VHPWR connector, the deliberate ignorance of the originally intended 8-pin EPS connector, which continues to prove its resilience against defeat in power supplies and [...]
Today the time has finally come, I have the first VA panel in my test. This means that I have now tested all the current display types. Introducing the Cooler Master GA271. I wouldn’t normally take a look at this monitor, but the RRP of 159.90 euros immediately got me interested. A monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and 100 Hz refresh [...]
The Xinfrared T2S Plus is considered one of the pioneers among thermal imaging cameras for smartphones with a usable 8mm macro lens. This special design allows users to capture detailed thermal images of objects even at close range, which is especially useful for identifying heat loss, the condition of insulation, electrical problems and details [...]
If you think I’m going to take another look at a monitor I’ve already tested, you’re not wrong. Visually, the KTC M27P20 Pro (M27P20P) looks extremely similar to the Cooler Master Tempest GP27U. You could almost call them identical twins. The built-in panel from AU-Optronics is also the same as the GP27U. The Cooler Master [...]
Short connection? Then you only need to own a Fritz!Box from AVM and operate it in Deutsche Telekom’s fiber optic network (FTTH). If you then call a mobile phone number and want to talk a little longer, you will lose relatively quickly. Or rather, after just two minutes and one second. Because that’s when the connection is lost and you [...]
Another CPU generation, another binning session along with an article for you all! We also had the pleasure of opening up almost 600 silicon loot boxes for the launch of Intel’s 14th generation and today we have the results. The data spans all new 6 overclockable “K” SKUs, with additional new 13900 chips for comparison, IMC tests are back [...]
Today’s article is the result of several months of laboratory work, extensive measurement series, development work, and constant cross-checking. The matter of the 12-volt connectors is unfortunately so complex that I had to look for a new approach to complete the picture. And no, there isn’t THE one cause, but always a causal chain of [...]
Today we’ll take a look at a device that wavers between very good and strange in many places. Large build space, active electric heating for high internal temperatures and Klipper out of the box have piqued my interest. Again, there is a lot to look at, discuss and evaluate today, so quickly cleared as large a storage space as possible and [...]
Today, I’m doing a self-experiment: Browsing and shopping at Temu, of course with a set budget and a detailed review of all products in mind, if they all arrive. You guys triggered me recently, and so the time finally came. Ordered on 10/15/2023 and delivered on 10/24/2023, so a delivery time of 9 days. That’s acceptable for now, even [...]
Synology’s DS923 has already been on the market for a year, whereas they already took their time with the DS920. By the way, long product cycles are more of an advantage than a disadvantage in my opinion, because the product and software mature without blind haste. With an AMD Ryzen R1600 as the main processor, four drive bays, two M.2 slots [...]
How much can you go wrong when choosing a monitor, even if reviews of it are positive? A lot, because a review can often only assess the manufacturer’s quality control to a limited extent, unless there are more reports of faulty or defective copies of a device. However, if you get (obviously several times) a Monday device, then Murphy is [...]
It’s the weekend, and I naturally have a lot to prepare for next week. However, I don’t want to leave you all alone on the side, so today I’ll show you what a “laser drilling” of 16 “laser shots” looks like with the LIBS equipment in the form of the VHX-7000 by Keyence. The object of my curiosity today is [...]
I think that if you’re even a little bit involved with 3D printing, there’s no way around some of the manufacturers. In the past, Creality and Prusa were clearly the sole top dogs, but they are no longer alone there. Thereis a lot to say aboutthe P1S and Bambu Lab ,so let’s start right away and put some more pressure on them [...]
A call for help from friends, a budget GPU is needed! Thanks to good experiences and with efficiency in mind, I recommended the RX 6600 with a clear conscience, but I didn’t count on Intel, because a B560 motherboard and a Rdeon RX 6600 are obviously not an ideal pair. Super-Susi rushed to the rescue and then saved the day among friends [...]
The NAS article actually planned for today has to wait until next week, the delivery delays for certain components has unfortunately (once again) put a spoke in my wheel. But at least a nice workaround fell in front of my feet, with which you can also beat Amazon a bargain with your own stock. Sure, the whole thing is no big deal, but with a [...]
