IgorsLAB: Fosi MD3 Smartphone DAC Review - An affectionate audio backpack for smartphones with potential for your ears
Over the past few weeks, I have once again spent some time browsing Kickstarter more closely. Not out of boredom, but out of genuine curiosity.

Neowin: GMKtec NucBox K15 review: USB4, OCuLink, DDR5 memory, but no gaming Mini PC
GMKtec is a brand we tested mini PCs for twice last year (1) (2). As a reminder, GMKtec is a sub-brand of Shenzhen GMK Technology Co., Ltd, based in China, which started operations in 2019, and according to their own website, their Mini PCs are sold in over 70 countries with official distributors and service networks established in 35 of them. Looking online, and from the point of view of end users on places like Reddit, GMKtec appears to have the mindset of "a cheaper Beelink" equivalent, which is not a bad place to be, really!

APH Networks: SAMA L70 360WH Review
For those who know me, I tend to get into random hobbies at random times for absolutely no reason. Well, this past month, I have been absorbed into the world of coffee. I have always been the type of person to think people are crazy for drinking black coffee with no milk or sugar. It is so bitter that I could not imagine anyone in their right mind could enjoy it. I do not want a double-double (Editor's note: For those unfamiliar with Canadian English, a "double double" is a cup of coffee with a double serving of both sugar and cream). Give me at least a triple-triple. Perhaps something changed in me, but now I am trying to be like those people I thought were crazy. I first tried iced lattes without sugar, which I was able to get used to and enjoy after a few attempts. To take it a step further, I tried to get into iced Americanos, which failed miserably. Now I am currently in the stage of brewing my own pour-over coffee. My spending has skyrocketed, while my income has not changed in a long time. My skills are nonexistent, and as for the taste of my coffee, I cannot tell. The only thing I taste is acidity and bitterness. If you ask me why I am even getting into coffee, I would not have much to say. But if you ask me about the SAMA L70 360WH, I have much to say. SAMA claims this AIO cooler has high-performance and excellent thermal efficiency with an infinity mirror that delivers vivid, multi-layered ARGB LED lighting. Will the SAMA L70 360WH live up to these claims? Read on to find out!

Neowin: Cuktech 15 Air review: Cutting-edge battery tech in a small form factor
I reviewed a bunch of Cuktech power banks previously, and all of them proved to be reliable and powerful accessories for your phone, laptop, or anything else that charges with a USB Type-C cable. However, I was never a fan of the squared design, which is not the most convenient for carrying in a laptop bag or a backpack. Recently, Cuktech released the 15 Air, addressing my complaint. Here is my review.
Hardware Busters: Chieftec Stealth 1200W ATX v3.1 PSU Review
The Chieftec Stealth 1200W is a strong PSU, compatible with the ATX v3.1 and PCIe CEM 5.1 standards, so it fully supports all contemporary graphics cards. According to Chieftec, this product prioritizes a competitive price-performance which is something that I will confirm (or not) during this review.
