It can be daunting wading into the deep roster of drones designed for enterprise photography and video. Sure, DJI, long the market leader, makes some truly fantastic devices, but before you buy the first Mavic you come across for your business photography needs, take a moment to appreciate the nuanced diversity of UAV hardware out there and understand the strengths and weaknesses of the current offerings across a variety of applications and budgets....

Unlike traditional jumper cables, portable car jump starters come with a built-in battery pack to give your car a boost without connecting to another power source. Even better? Most car jump starters come with a few extra features, including flashlights, cell phone charging ports, and even PSI air compressors for tire inflation.

The reasons are clear. Aerial vehicles can cover vastly more terrain than slower, clumsier ground-based surveillance systems – which is why they’ve been a key component of military and law enforcement applications for decades. But drones, which are smaller, cheaper, and more efficient than manned-aircraft like helicopters, have very quickly democratized access to aerial security and surveillance and opened up the skies to companies of all sizes across sectors....

Gaming laptops tend to be pricey because they demand top graphics cards – often containing one or two – high-end processors, strong connectivity features, and quality displays. Together, the cost of these components packaged up in a laptop’s chassis means that consumers often feel the sting. However, you don’t need to pay the typical retail price for a portable gaming rig. If you know where to look, you can uncover hidden gems worth purchasing....

Pretty cool. Well, the Anker 625 solar panel is the perfect partner to the 757 Powerhouse. There’s a lot I like about the Anker 625 solar panel. These are high-efficiency units and convert up to 23% of the sunlight hitting them into solar energy. I had no problem getting 90W plus out of this panel in the British summer. Even on an overcast day, I could get upwards of 50W out of the panels....

Fiber internet offers the best speeds for those lucky enough to have it, and cable is the second-best option. After that, it’s a real drop-off. For example, DSL tops out, in theory, at 100 Mbps, but in practice, it maxes out at 25 Mbps. It’s also on its way out, with big providers like AT&T no longer offering it. There are other alternatives such as Wireless ISPs (WISP), 4G-based internet, the old and slow satellite internet services, and the fast (but difficult to get installed) low-earth orbit (LEO) Starlink....

With all the noise – and it’s fair to say, craziness – associated with cryptocurrency, we thought you might like a bit of an overview. Like the off-the-rails GameStop stock hack, the cryptocurrency Dogecoin has been on a bit of an undeserved roll. And, because what’s a fake currency without a bonkers billionaire, much of Dogecoin’s recent moment (and that of Bitcoin, too) can be attributed to Elon Musk and his fondness for tweeting....

Unfortunately, many US-issued credit cards include a foreign transaction fee when you use them abroad. Typically, the fee is small (between 1-3% of your purchase), but it can quickly add up over the course of your trip. The same applies if you’re based in the U.S. but frequently buy from international retailers. The good news is that a number of the top credit cards don’t have foreign transaction fees. However, these cards can vary quite a bit in terms of annual fees, sign-up bonuses, and rewards rates, so it’s imperative to do your research before signing up....
