Phone Review – Samsung Galaxy A13 5G

Posted on March 22, 2022March 22, 2022Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Personal Tech, Reviews

Time for a new phone … I didn’t really want to get a new phone; specifically, I didn’t want to spend the money. I’d bought my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime back in 2015 and it was still serving me well seven years later but the annoyances were starting to accumulate. The 8GB of storage space…

Posted on December 29, 2019March 21, 2020Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Personal Tech

I’ve been playing around the Amazon’s Echo Dot for just under a week now and was curious about its portability. Obviously, the hardware just needs a place to plug in and a Wi-Fi network to access but I was really wondering if I could run its data through my phone’s 4G hotspot. Public networks are fine…

My First 24 Hours With Alexa

Posted on November 23, 2016December 14, 2016Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Personal Tech2 Replies

I couldn’t resist any longer and decided to welcome Amazon’s Alexa into my home. I was a little hesitant at first about letting Amazon put a microphone in my house but my curiosity won out. I live alone anyway and the device can always be unplugged if necessary. At worst, it might get me to stop talking to…

A Quick Guide To Keeping Your Flash Drive Data Safe

Posted on August 12, 2016August 12, 2016Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Hardware, Personal Tech

When I started using computers about 30 years ago, the floppy disk was the standard of personal data storage. I actually started out using the 5.25″ disk so the 3.5″ disk with it’s hard case and a little bit more space was a welcome improvement at the time. We’ve come a long way in the…

Laptop Bags Don’t Have to be Expensive

Posted on February 2, 2015February 2, 2015Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Personal Tech

After you’ve bought your new laptop computer, taken it out of the box and set it up, your next thought might naturally be “What am I going to carry this in?”. That laptop you just spent hundreds of dollars for is sitting there on your desk and looks naked and unprotected without one of those…

Posted on December 15, 2014March 1, 2015Author Andrew ComeauPosted in Personal Tech6 Replies

See the end of this post for the March 2015 update. I got it working again for now. Earlier this year, I upgraded to an Alcatel OneTouch Fierce smartphone from the $20 cheapo phone I was using and was pretty happy to be back in the Android camp with all the available apps and the…
