Starlink MiniHardware SpaceX

loved

We plugged it in, set it up, mounted it, and that's it. It just worked. Every single day, every single time. The damn thing is annoyingly flawless. I'm not one for hype or fanfare, but I feel like Starlink will be a transformational technology.

UniFi Protect cameras (G4 range)Hardware Ubiquiti

loved

After setting up the new Ubiquiti kit it really was night and day compared to the old CCTV system, so much so that it actually made us want to fully replace the old system with Ubiquiti cameras, which is exactly what we're now going to do.

recommended

Overall, I'd say the UTR is definitely worth it. I didn't use the VPN feature much, it wasn't what I needed or wanted from it, but I did test it out and it worked perfectly.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The small bar beside a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The bar shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Full and green is recent. It drains, and turns amber and then grey, as the post gets older.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The bar is empty after about:

A striped bar means the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no bar.
