These scales won't weigh a person or a stick of sausage, but they can (or at least should be able to) weigh things their “big brothers” can't. So today we're taking a look at and testing a miniature scale for weighing very light objects.

Some time ago, I reviewed the Netac N5M SSD. I really liked it, but my plans changed and I needed it for another computer, so I had to buy another one, this time with 120GB. As usual, there are tests and conclusions.

Some time ago, one of my readers contacted me privately and asked me to do a small comparative test of several thermal interface materials. I was interested in doing a test like that too, especially since I'd already done something similar, so I decided to help out. But as it happened, the idea grew into a somewhat bigger test, albeit a rather unusual one.

I’ve already reviewed a couple of inexpensive cordless drills, and in the comments people told me I’d be better off sticking with products from reputable brands. Well, this time I’ll show you a product from the opposite end of the spectrum: a tool from one of the best-known brands in the US, and a fairly well-known one here too—Milwaukee.

This won’t be the first review of this phone on the site, and I don’t think it’ll be the last, since the phone has its pros—as well as its cons, of course. Either way, it certainly draws attention. Inspection, teardown, tests, conclusions.

In my 3D printer review, I mentioned small milling machines, which for some reason are more often marketed as engravers. Since this is a pretty interesting topic, and readers later asked me about this kind of device, I decided to review one. So, once again we're putting together a puzzle-like kit, and there's a chance we'll end up with something interesting.
