For my iPhone 17 Pro Max case, Benks send me the Benks ArmorPro Prestige Case For iPhone 17 Pro Max which retails for S$79 on both Shopee and Lazada. If you get the case from Shopee or Lazada, you will get a free screen protector worth S$32.

Benks ArmorPro Prestige is the higher-end model of the Benks ArmorPro Case. Like all ArmorPro cases, it is a Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) case with a rugged Kevlar fiber exterior.

Thanks to Benks for sending me the Benks GlassWarrior Sapphire Screen Protector For iPhone 17 Pro Max ahead of the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Previously, for my iPhone 16 Pro Max, I was also using the Benks GlassWarrior Sapphire Screen Protector For iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I signed up for Zym Mobile so I can use it for my BlackVue DR770X-2CH LTE Dashcam in my Tesla Model 3 Highland Car.

When I signed up, they gave me two more data-only SIMs that have 3GB every month. A few months back, Zym had an outage, and hence they compensated by giving all subscribers an additional 100GB for 90 days. So my two free SIMs have 100GB now for 90 days.

iPhone Air and all models of iPhone 17 and will be launching on Friday, 19th September 2025.

With regards to 5G/LTE networks in Singapore, we are getting the following models:

I am on Singtel 10Gbps Enhanced Plan with a bridged Singtel ZTE F8648P ONR, so I don’t have a double NAT problem.

For my UniFi setup, I have two limitations. I don’t have space for a server rack and can’t ceiling mount my Access Points (APs).

In Singapore, when people want to buy a budget or value-for-money monitor, the first brand they will consider is usually Prism+ because of all the marketing they have done.

There is also another alternative in the market, Apex+. Apex+ is a gaming peripheral brand by Ulti. You probably have seen the brand Ulti occasionally on Shopee or Lazada. They are probably one of the top stores on Lazada and Shopee selling monitor arms, stands, and TV mounts.

Synology BeeStation is a user-friendly alternative to services like iCloud, Google Photos, and Google Drive, aimed at everyday consumers rather than IT professionals or DIY enthusiasts. It comes with a preinstalled hard drive and preconfigured settings, providing an out-of-the-box experience that lets users start uploading files and backing up photos immediately.

I would consider the Synology BeeStation a consumer Network Attached Storage (NAS) targeted at first-time consumers who want to get a feel of NAS and how it fits into their daily workflow.

Why?
I was using the Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Mesh Router since November 2024. After the initial trial and error of various settings to make it stable due to its buggy firmware, it was stable for over 6 months, including surviving a power shutdown.

However, things changed one weekend in July 2025. I woke up and noticed none of my home automation is running. To my surprise, all the wireless networks in my home are gone. First, I plugged my Ethernet cable into the BQ16 to determine why. To my horror, I did not get an IP from DHCP. Tried a couple of restarts of the BQ16, but the issue remains.

I had not heard of the Mova brand before. That is, till Dasher contacted me to see if I was interested in reviewing their products. It is the same scenario as with their Dreame brand 3 years ago, when I reviewed the DreameBot L10s Ultra.

There are two variants to Mova P50. Mova P50 Ultra and Mova P50 Pro Ultra. The price difference between them is S$300.
