🐧 I'm Thinking About Switching My Desktop PC to Ubuntu!

Hi All!

What an interesting week it's been!

As it sometimes happens in life, your day doesn't always go to plan, that is exactly what happened to me on Thursday when I thought I connected my Pixel Watch for charging, but I never actually plugged the charger into the mains!🤦‍♂️

Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I decided to turn this into a test to see how long the watch will last before the battery fully dies. The results were surprising! You can read my article on this here. On top of that I decided to keep my Twitter audience updated throughout the day with battery updates. If you don't already follow me on Twitter, you can follow me here.

Moving on from that, I've been thinking about moving on from Windows 11 for a while now but at the same time I don't really want to get rid of my computer just yet. I know that it's starting to show its age and that moving on from Windows will mean that I have to sacrifice a number of things.

But I've been playing around with the latest version of the Ubuntu for a while in a virtual environment and I kind of like it!

I mean, I'm not strictly new to Ubuntu or Linux, in fact back in my university days I used Linux a lot and I actually enjoyed the experience!

In regards to Ubuntu, the operating system has gone a long way since I last used it and I really like the look of the updated interface. But as any Linux user will tell you, the true beauty is in the code!

So yea, I'm going to continue to think about it and consider my options for the next couple of days and if I switch, I'm sure to make content about it!

Another great video by Sean! The Hidizs MS5 earbuds certainly look like a cool set of earbuds! I mean for starters you can swap parts out to alter the audio signature! I think that's awesome! Overall, a very well presented video!

📝 Blog Post - Youssef Mohamed: A NEW Homepod is Coming!​

The Apple HomePod Mini is a speaker that I certainly miss having in my smart home setup. For such a small device, the sound was powerful and you could do some pretty cleaver things with the help of Siri. But one thing I always felt was missing from the device was a screen. Is that about to change? Youssef's article explains well.

💻 Tech - Crucial X6 Portable SSD​

I've been meaning to replace my 500GB Samsung T5 SSD with a larger model for some time now and Crucial gave me the perfect excuse to upgrade now with their 1TB X6 Portable SSD which surprisingly only cost me £56.99 which I think is a brilliant price! Not sure if the deal will still be on by the time you read this newsletter, but here is my Amazon affiliate link for it.
