Everyone does “Top 10 Games of All Time” lists around Christmas.

Here’s my opposite-industry version:

My #1 favourite game ever — the one that actually shaped how I think about tech.

Tears of The Kingdom.

Why this one?

• It made you figure things out
• It didn’t hold your hand
• It punished bad decisions
• And it rewarded actual strategy, not button-mashing

Modern games love tutorials, hints, and glowing arrows telling you exactly where to walk.

Older games just threw you in and trusted you’d survive.

Honestly?
That’s probably why I love tech so much — the problem-solving DNA started early.

Drop yours below — I guarantee half of you will have the same childhood scars. 🎮🔥

Boxing Day tech “deals” are like Christmas leftovers — some are brilliant, most are questionable, and a few will ruin your week.

Here’s how to buy smart today instead of getting stitched up by a yellow sticker:

1️⃣ Ignore “WAS £999, NOW £599.”
Half the time the “original price” was made up. Check the real average price on Google Shopping before you even think about adding to cart.

2️⃣ Last year’s model isn’t always a bargain.
Sometimes it is…
Sometimes it’s a dying battery, ancient processor, and a future paperweight.

3️⃣ If the RAM is 4GB — walk away.
Doesn’t matter how cheap it is. It’ll run like a wet sponge in 2026.
Minimum 8GB. Ideally 16GB.

4️⃣ Beware “Extended Warrantease.”
Yes, warrantease.

They look helpful but often cover absolutely nothing you’ll actually need.

5️⃣ SSD only.
If it says HDD, leave it for the museum.

6️⃣ Don’t buy tech in a panic.
If you wouldn’t buy it on a normal day, don’t buy it because someone put a red label on it.

Save your money for the stuff that lasts — not the stuff that’s designed to break.

Happy Boxing Day.
May your bargains be real and your receipts be short. 🔧💻

The most underrated piece of travel tech isn’t a power bank or a fancy case.

It’s a portable SSD.

Here’s why:
• Hotel Wi-Fi uploads = painful
• Backup your photos in seconds
• Move big files without relying on cloud anything
• Keep work + personal stuff separate

Influencers will tell you to buy ten bits of shiny nonsense.

I’ll tell you the truth:
A fast SSD has saved more holidays than sunscreen.

If you travel even twice a year, get one.
Your future self will thank you.

Travel “tech essentials” posts are usually influencers showing stuff they don’t actually use.

Here’s the real list — the stuff I actually pack on a long trip:

• A decent laptop (because hotel Wi-Fi doesn’t magically fix itself)
• Noise-cancelling earbuds — essential when someone’s kid has discovered their lungs
• Portable SSD — because cloud uploads are a joke on resort Wi-Fi
• Universal charger — one plug, solve everything
• A proper USB-C cable — not the £2 one that melts in a rental car

No hype. No affiliate nonsense. Just the kit that actually works when you’re thousands of miles from your desk.

Screenshot and steal the list for your next trip.

3 myths the energy/broadband/mobile world needs to stop repeating:

1️⃣ “Switching is a hassle.”
2️⃣ “Loyal customers get rewarded.”
3️⃣ “January is the best time to sort your bills.”

All wrong.

December is the smart month — quieter queues, better deals, less drama.

Barbados backdrop.
Same no-nonsense energy.

Saved Gaz £400 a year + unlimited mobiles + the £100 bonus.

Providers hate people who know their options.

Packed the suitcase. Packed the laptop. Packed the “I’ve-been-doing-this-since-the-80s” tech brain.

I’m away from the desk, but not away from helping people fix their tech, upgrade their Wi-Fi, and choose kit that actually works — not the stuff influencers pretend they use.

January’s queue is already forming.
If you want in before the rush, you know where I am.

18/12/2025

Holiday mode ON.
Business mode still very much ON.

Most people vanish before Christmas. I prefer to stack wins for January.

2026 is going to be a big year — might as well warm up early.

Most people assume a slow laptop means it’s time to buy a new one. That belief keeps retailers happy and customers poor. Here’s the brutal truth: Your laptop isn’t slow… it’s neglected.

25/11/2025

Ever feel like your laptop is deliberately mocking you?
Click… wait… spinny wheel… sigh…

Good news: it’s not dying, it’s neglected.

Today I turned a customer’s 8-year-old laptop from “doorstop” into “faster than new” with:

✅ SSD
✅ Fresh Windows install
✅ Clean fans
✅ Proper setup

Stop suffering.
If your laptop feels slow, message me.
I’ll tell you if it’s worth saving — brutally honest.
