I felt like adding a TV to the bedroom. In this situation, an ordinary person would go to the store and buy a new TV. But that didn’t interest me, and it seemed too easy, so I decided to build a TV myself—well, almost build one :) If you’re interested, come on in. I hope I won’t disappoint.

I know there are plenty of flashlight reviews on Muska. But this model caught my interest for its own reasons. I also wanted a simple flashlight for around the house—nothing fancy. I wanted one, and I got one, but things aren't quite so straightforward. Read on if you're interested.

There have been several reviews of popular wattmeters here, and I needed one too. But given the specifics of my work, I decided to get one with room to grow, so to speak. After the jump, you'll find photos of the outside and inside, along with a few measurements.

Recently, single-board mini computers such as Cubie, Raspberry Pi, and the like have become quite popular (in certain circles). But sometimes enthusiasts use these devices to build NAS storage, torrent downloaders, or something similar. These applications usually use high-capacity 3.5-inch hard drives, which in turn require two supply voltages: 12 V and 5 V. This power supply was intended for just such an application.

While browsing various flash drive reviews online, I came across quite a few positive comments about SSK flash drives. I got curious, so I decided to try one myself. Read on to find out how it turned out and what USB 3.0 looks like from SSK.

There aren't many operating systems for personal computers, tablets, and other devices. But only relatively recently has Windows begun making an aggressive push into the mobile device market. Some people are used to this OS on their home desktops and don't want to switch to another one. This review is intended mainly for that group of users. For me, a Windows tablet is primarily connected with my professional work. Anyway, if you'd like to learn more and see the tests and comparison, come on in.

A friend recently asked me to order him a little set like this on AliExpress. Why not help, I thought, and clicked the Buy button. Read on to see what I ended up getting.
