It looks like scammers are trying to take advantage of the ongoing Canada Post strike and sending texts to Canadians offering money for the “inconvenience.” I received a text message over the weekend about the strike over the weekend and wanted to flag it…

I’ve been using a Kuxiu charger for more than a year, and a new version has come out with Qi2 support for faster wireless charging of up to 15 watts called the X40Q. I’m such a big fan of this charger because it’s so compact and still offers the ability…
