Bought the PQI My Lockey USB Fingerprint Reader from Amazon Singapore for S$39.49. Shipping is free because I am an Amazon Singapore Prime member and combined with other orders to make it more than S$60.

As a best security practice, I have been using a different password for different sites. To avoid typing in complex passwords every time I am logging to Windows, I have been using a PIN.

Yubico’s Yubikeys are now officially available in Singapore. It expanded its presence in Singapore by recruiting a regional manager, Tim Murphy, to boost sales efforts and to establish distribution channels across the region.

Today I learned (TIL), that Yubico is a Swedish and American company.

I have been trying out the Singtel Smart Car for more than a month and no, this is not a sponsored post.

This service uses Modus to track your car location, trips, driving habits and monitor your vehicle’s health.

Yubico FIDO U2F Security Key is a USB device that uses the FIDO U2F protocol. It will work with websites that support the FIDO U2F protocol like Facebook, Google, Google Apps, GitHub, BitBucket, and Dropbox.

FIDO Alliance, or just FIDO, in short, is an open authentication industry consortium.

I was seeded with Vitastiq, a device that tracks your vitamin and mineral levels in your body.

Vitastiq started on Indiegogo back in December 2014. It raised a total of US$264,937 out of their initial goal of US$49,000 from 900+ backers on 8th February 2015. It got shipped to the backers in March 2015.

I got my hands on the Freefly VR thanks to my friend, Stephen. Freefly VR is a mobile VR headset that uses your mobile phone for the VR experience. The screen as the VR screen and your phone’s speaker for the audio.

This differs from normal VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and Razer OSVR because both of them have an in-built screen and audio system but relies on your computer for the VR experience.

Logitech will now be known as Logi, dropping the word “tech”. The Logi label will appear in Logitech’s new product categories.

The name Logitech still remains as the official company name and on core Logitech products like it’s PC peripherals and gaming gears.

iblazr is a LED flash that can be attached to the 3.5mm audio jack of any devices, not just smartphones. It is extremely compact and lightweight, measuring 27 x 32 x 9 (mm) and weights only 10g.

I bought the iblazr in Hong Kong from Life Digital located inside ifc mall for HK$388 (S$67).

Sony recently opened its largest flagship store in Southeast Asia at 313@Somerset #02-28 to 37 (directly opposite Starbucks). It occupies 9,902 square feet (920sqm) of floor area and its opening hours are from 10am to 10pm daily.

As a Sony member, we are given S$50 to spend at that store and surprisingly when I went there, there is nothing interesting for me to buy. Instead it is my mom who used the voucher and bought the Sony Digital Voice Recorder – ICD-UX543F for S$189 so that she can record meeting minutes.
