Two years on, you can still see the #Maidesite desk in my videos. I got older, my body makes more noises when I wake up in the morning, but I spend my time at the desk at comfort.
#MaidesiteS2ProPlus aged better than me! Check it out!

I bought 2 fancy silicone USB-C cables at the Shenzhen electronic markets. Then I got this fancy cable tester on Amazon to verify if I made a mistake! Was it £3 best spent, or was it a bust?

I bought 2 specialised USB-C cables at $1.5 each at famous electronics markets in #Shenzhen. I wasn't sure if they were going to work well, so I put them to a test(er):

The story of a USB-A cable split into 3 leads (USB-c, micro USB, and lightning)

Now it makes sense why data didn't work on all leads. Honestly best gadget I picked this year

One downside of my visit to China was the new restriction on power banks on domestic flights. As 3 of my power banks were not 3C certified, they got confiscated by airport security. 😬
I treated myself to this bad boy on #cybermonday
