I dropped my Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) with the tip landing on the floor first. The tip broke off and left a portion of it in the Apple Pencil.

I watch a couple of YouTube videos on how to remove the stuck portion, and I think this video is the best. It uses a pincer to grip on the stuck portion and slowly unscrew it out.

I have been waiting for the Ugreen 65W GaN Dual USB-C Charger for a few months now. It has been going in and out of stock pretty quickly.

Ugreen 65W GaN Dual USB-C Charger retails for S$34.19 on Lazada. Shipping to Singapore is S$1.49.

If you need any type of cable for your gadgets, Ugreen will probably have them.

I was looking for a USB Extension Cable to extend out from the USB charging port of my Aeon Labs Aeotec Z-Wave Smart Switch 6 (Gen5). This will allow Li Xiang to use the Xiaomi USB Fan to circulate the wind around her plants.

Uni-T is becoming my favourite go-to brand for cheap meters. The “T” in the name stands for “Trend.”

I first got the UNI-T Mini Sound Lever Meter (UT353BT) last April 2020 to measure sound level emitting from some of my gadgets.

After almost three years, my Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart Electric Toothbrush (HX9924/46) decided to give up of me. There is some issue with the power connection because I could not charge it or power it on.

I am sure the battery is charged as I left it on overnight, and there is an indicator that it was charging. However, when I took it out the next morning, I could not power it on.

When I think of NAS, there are always three brands that came to my mind. Synology, QNAP, and ASUSTOR. All three brands are from Taiwan. I reviewed Synology NAS many times and did my first QNAP NAS review in December.

To complete the trilogy, I have with me the Asustor Lockerstor 4 (AS6604T) which is equivalent to the Synology DS920+ and QNAP TS-453D. All three models are 4-bay NAS, powered by Intel Celeron J4125 and comes with 4GB of DDR4 ram. Intel J4125 is a 4-core 2.0 GHz (burstable to 2.7 GHz) processor.

HOCE MagSafe Charger Holder retails for Lazada for S$17.49. Shipping is free within Singapore if you have collected the free shipping voucher. If not, it will cost you S$1.49 for standard mail.

This is a no-frills aluminum charger holder to hold your
Apple MagSafe Charger. You can choose it in Black or Silver.

Ugreen 20W USB-C PD Charger is an alternative to the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter. It retails for S$15.99 on Lazada and shipping to Singapore is S$1.49 if you have not collected the free shipping voucher from Lazada.

This is a Power Delivery 3 (PD 3) / QuickCharge (QC 4) charger, and hence it can deliver 9V/2.22A as required by Apple’s MagSafe Charger.

As mentioned in my previous post, I needed a splitter to separate my headphone cable output to audio and microphone because my Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 keyboard doesn’t support combined inputs.

So I decided to get the Ugreen Headphone Splitter Cable from Lazada for S$6.99. Shipping is free if you collected the free shipping voucher from Lazada. If not, shipping to Singapore costs S$1.49.
