Motorcycles in Slow motion

Isn't there something surreal about a motorcycle going around a corner. There is a whole symphony of physics at play as the rider leans the bike and carves an arc on the road. Likewise, there is something awe inspiring to see when we see an object that we are used to looking at, going rather fast, in slow motion. The below video has been made just to appreciate that fact. Its a simple thing in and of itself, just some bikes going around a corner. Except time has been given the liberty to not hurry and let us admire the movements in detail.  Enjoy and ride safe.

Logitech MK850 Combo Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse

Earlier we looked at the Logitech M720 mouse on it's own, and there were lots of good notes about it's design. In this article we are going to be looking at the MK850 which comes bundled with the M720 mouse and a K850 Keyboard. Taking two products and calling them combo alone is not enough, they need to work as a team, complementing each other. We shall be exploring how successful this combo really is. So earlier when we looked at the M720 mouse, I covered a lot of topics I’ll not repeat those in this article but I’ll summarize, for details by all means check out the video above. My words at the time was that things have been simplified. And I mean that in a good way, simplification is not easily achieved. So after using the mouse for about a year what are my thoughts, well, I have customized the mouse in the following way, scroll wheel tilt left for copy and right for paste. The two thumb buttons for volume up and down and the bottom thumb button for alt tab. These are some of...

Review of Logitech MX Keys

Automobiles have existed for many decades, and with every passing year they have been improving. This iterative development has brought us the advanced features that the modern cars offer. Likewise membrane keyboards have existed for a number of decades, with gradual improvements made to them as time passed by, and we have arrived at the Logitech MX keys . Is this the pinnacle, is this the height of what a membrane keyboard can be, that is the question I explored to answer.  First let's cover the brief, why, why did I venture to purchase the Mx Key s. Well, with the recent pandemic, like many of us, I have been working from home. I have been juggling between my work laptop and my personal computer. So a multi-device keyboard was needed. The K345, while a reasonable keyboard was totally not suitable for the task. So to solve the problem I switched to using the K380. The K380 connects over Bluetooth and can connect to 3 devices. I originally used to carry that keyboard in my backpack...

Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus earphones are different

As usual Samsung released their new line up of mobile phones with great publicity and frenzy of coverage. While most attention is granted towards the phone, the accessories are often left on the sideline because there is nothing new to see there, or so we thought was the case. The pattern is that every two models, Samsung has been updating their included earphones. Meaning, the S4 and S5 had these somewhat decent in canal earphones that were presentable for it's time. Then in S6 and S7 series Samsung went into a slightly different direction with their design and that was either loved or hated by users. Then with great fanfare, the S8 and S9 series had the AKG Tuned earphones. There was a bit of controversy due to the way Samsung announced these earphones, it came across as AKG was making the earphones, but they only tuned it, they did not manufacture it. The common complaint was that the earphones were a bit of a let down in the bass section. Now with the history out o...

Sony MDR-ZX110 Ultra Budget Headphone

As far as names go, Sony is a well recognised, well reputed name. We expect a level of quality from this brand. As we slide towards the lower end of the budget scale, from a manufacturing point of view I'm sure things get harder. Deliver that which we expect and cost less at the same time. This is where the MDR-ZX110 comes in. As I write this, the headphone is on sale in Amazon for about $15 . What can we expect? Let's start with the packaging, the headphone is presented in this plastic retail pack. Apart from some paperwork there was nothing else. The overall build quality I would say serviceable for the price point, we will talk more about the price in a moment. While the construction is predominantly of plastic, there are some metal parts in the hinge that allows the headphone to fold for easier transportation. Beyond that the headband is adjustable with an audible click and there is some movement in the angles of the earcups so it fits a bit more comfortably. The c...
