You gotta take some photos when you’re traveling. Comes with a super wide angle and macro lens that screws into the same holder. It’s ideal for single lens phones if you’re not ready to spend big bucks to upgrade just for more cameras. You can use it with Apple or Android phones with more than one camera, you just need to position it over the main wide camera.

And it comes with a clip-on LED light, lanyard and polishing cloth? Magic! I can’t believe this is only $40.

Apple and Epic team up for macOS health records software

Posted on 29/11/2022

Apple is continuing to push into health care, this time striking a deal with Epic Systems for a Mac-friendly version of its health records app. As reported by axios, the deal will see Epic Systems create a version of its health records tool that “is easier to run on Apple devices.”

Apple had reportedly pushed for Epic to create a “native version of the service” for Apple devices, but the two companies settled on this compromise of a version that is “easier to run on Apple devices” instead. Apple hasn’t acknowledged this deal, however Axios says it was confirmed by a “source inside Epic.”

The deal comes despite previous disagreements between Epic and Apple over health records and data sharing, Axios explains. Apple has pushed for easing health record sharing requirements, something that Epic is firmly opposed to. Epic argued that rule changes focused on “interoperability” would be “overly burdensome on our health system and would endanger patient privacy.”

Epic Systems is the largest electronic health records vendor in the United States, with “roughly half the population’s medical records” being stored in a system powered by Epic software and technology. The lack of well-developed Mac, iPad, and iPhone software from

As Bolsonaro challenges election loss, experts push back on voting machine software bug claims

Posted on 28/11/2022

More than three weeks after losing a re-election bid, outgoing Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday blamed a software bug and demanded the electoral authority annul votes cast on most of the nation’s electronic voting machines, though independent experts say the bug doesn’t affect the reliability of results.

Such an action would leave Bolsonaro with 51 per cent of the remaining valid votes — and a re-election victory, Marcelo de Bessa, the lawyer who filed the 33-page request on behalf of the president and his Liberal Party, told reporters.

The electoral authority has already declared victory for Bolsonaro’s nemesis, leftist former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and even many of Bolsonaro’s allies have accepted the results. Protesters in cities across the country have steadily refused to do the same, particularly with Bolsonaro declining to concede.

Liberal Party leader Valdemar Costa Neto and an auditor hired by the party told reporters in Brasilia, the country’s capital, that their evaluation found all machines dating from before 2020 — nearly 280,000 of them, or about 59 per cent of the total used in the Oct . 30 runoff — lacked individual identification numbers in internal logs.

Neither explained how that might have

The Stuff Gadget Awards 2022: Best small appliance of the year

Posted on 28/11/2022

Home gadgets might get a little lost in the noise generated by ‘sexier’ tech such as sleek electric cars, powerful digital cameras, vast OLED TVs and wafer-thin cutting-edge smartphones, but be in no doubt: small appliances can have a hugely beneficial effect on our day-to-day lives by keeping our homes clean, our food delicious and our drinks refreshing.

2022 has been a year in which most of us have again been free to explore the outside world after almost two years of lockdowns and other restrictions, so perhaps our appreciation for home comforts hasn’t been quite as acute. That said, with the weather now turning chilly, the evenings drawing in and the prices of night out reaching eye-watering levels, we’re spending more time indoors. All the better to keenly appreciate the appeal of a spotless living room, a cracking cup of coffee or a crisp pint of beer. So what better time than now to be unveiling our pick for the best small appliance of the year?
