Recently JMGO launched the PicoPlay Portable Projector and as huge projector fans and several in use at the office and in house we had to test this out. Projectors for me are a favourite over a TV and has been for years and this will not change, however the technology is changing in projectors too and becoming more popular. Check out a first look and stay tuned for a full hands on demo soon and not a stock image review with no context.
Designed for seamless usability, the PicoPlay series introduces a simplified control interface featuring an action button for app shortcuts and touch controls for fast navigation, even in the absence of a remote. The auto-keystone adjustment is powered by a gimbal-inspired design that auto-focuses and aligns the image as the projector is tilted or moved. This hands-free calibration ensures instant setup with no manual adjustment required and deliver high-definition 1080P projection using DLP technology, supported by 400–450 ISO lumens of brightness.
This enables sharp, vibrant visuals that significantly outperform conventional 100–200-lumen projectors. Integrated with official Google TV, the projectors offer access to over 10,000 apps and more than 700,000 movies and shows, with intuitive content recommendations and low-lag streaming performance.
Measuring just 85mm in diameter and weighing no more than 0.74kg, the PicoPlay series is engineered for portability. Both models are compatible with JMGO’s Power Bank Stand, a sleek, all-black accessory that functions as a projector stand and provides up to four hours of battery-powered runtime, making the projectors ideal for parties, outdoor events, or movie nights off the grid.

Crypto ownership has gone far beyond just being a niche trend for tech-savvy investors. As the industry continues to grow and expand year-on-year, it has grown exponentially. Not just a disruptor anymore, crypto now enjoys institutional adoption and is now even favoured as a reserve option by governments that recognise its potential. However, while all this growth has seen crypto investment soar, it has also begun attracting armies of ordinary investors too.
According to Triple-A, as of 2024, there were already 560 million crypto holders worldwide. However, despite the freedom from centralised monetary systems that crypto provides, there are also responsibilities. Crypto can’t simply be stored in a bank or withdrawn and kept under a mattress. As crypto becomes more common, the way people approach storage is changing. Knowing which method suits you depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and how involved you want to be.
Who Needs Full Control?
Storing cryptocurrency by yourself offers a key benefit: control. This is a big deal to many investors since it arguably speaks to the heart of what crypto represents. Self-storage provides a means to protect your crypto from centralised control. That being said, with self-storage, the holder owns the keys and acts as their own bank. For crypto purists, who subscribe to the original notion of what crypto was meant to be, this is the ideal way to store it.
It also helps people who may be entering the industry for the first time. For those who may want to take part in presales, new launches, or early-stage investments, dealing with exchanges can be a daunting experience. If you are learning how to buy new crypto before listing, having self-custody makes sense. This is because many presale projects utilise direct wallet interactions. These are facilitated via smart contracts.
Presales help investors get in early, access tokens while they are still in their infancy, and possibly capitalise off higher growth potential. This stage occurs before those tokens are publicly listed on exchanges. As a result, some decentralised launches will not even accept funds from exchange-based wallets. In that setting, self-custody isn’t just a choice. It’s necessary.
Still, it requires effort. Setting up a wallet and protecting seed phrases can be stressful. If you lose your access, no one can help you. Far from needing to worry about hackers, with self-storage, the onus is on the owner to safeguard their holdings. This makes it a toss-up between freedom and control versus convenience and a safety net in the event of a loss if stored with an exchange that insures holders against this.
The Appeal of Convenience
Exchange-based storage takes much of the pressure off. Your coins are held in your account, and you can log in with a password like any other platform. Many users prefer this route for ease of access. It’s simple, especially for those who trade often or prefer to buy and sell quickly. No seed phrases to worry about and no complex wallet apps to manage.
For those just starting out, this can feel safe. Exchanges provide customer support. Some offer insurance against specific breaches. The interface is clean and familiar. There’s no rush to set up separate devices or back up codes. You can buy, hold, and track your portfolio in one place. This suits people who treat crypto more like stocks than a tool for financial independence.
That convenience comes at a cost. You don’t truly own the coins in your account. If the exchange is hacked or shuts down, your funds could be lost or frozen. Withdrawal limits and regulatory controls can also affect your access. As we’ve seen through major breaches, no exchange is entirely safe.
A Mix of Both?
Many users now take a blended approach. They store some assets on exchanges for speed and active use, while keeping the bulk in self-custody wallets. This offers flexibility. You can react to market moves, join token launches, and still protect your core holdings from third-party failure. It requires some planning, but the payoff is peace of mind and access when you need it.
Some also rotate coins between storage types. For example, they might send funds to an exchange for a specific trade and move them back after. This reduces long-term exposure without giving up convenience.
There are tools that help manage this balance. Portfolio apps now connect with both wallets and exchange accounts. Alerts can warn you if balances drop or if assets are inactive. While not foolproof, they give you more control over a growing collection of coins across multiple platforms.
How to Decide
Choosing between self-custody and exchange storage depends on how you see crypto. If it’s a long-term investment and you value control, a personal wallet makes sense. If you want simple trading or aren’t ready to manage your own keys, a trusted exchange may be easier.
Look at your habits. Do you trade daily? Do you plan to hold for years? Are you joining presales or trying to buy early? Each of these questions points you in a direction. You can always adjust later.
Security matters either way. Use strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and be cautious of phishing scams. No system is perfect. The best protection is staying informed and choosing tools that match your needs.
Conclusion
Crypto storage isn’t just a technical detail. Depending on the circumstances, it can dictate how secure your holdings are and how much control you have over them. While self-storage provides autonomy and power, it requires care, as negligence with your keys can be just as devastating as a hack, just self-inflicted. On the other hand, exchange storage makes things easier, but carries different risks. A thoughtful mix often works best. As the market grows, the way you store your coins will shape how freely you can use them.
Funded by UK Government, Project NAVIGATES has commenced with an aim to explore centralised control centres to unlock safe and scalable deployment of autonomous vehicles in the UK. Project NAVIGATES is part of CCAV’s CAM Pathfinder Programme.
Project NAVIGATES (Networked Autonomous Vehicle Integration and Governance with Advanced Technology and Security) will assess the technical and commercial case for Regional Remote Service Operator Control Centres (RSOCCs), a critical enabler for the safe and cost-effective rollout of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) in applications such as public transport, logistics and emergency response. The project will be led by Belfast-based cybersecurity specialists ANGOKA, in partnership with low-emission transport experts Cenex.
The CAM Pathfinder Programme, as part of the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy and the Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan, is delivered by the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, a joint unit between the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and the Department for Transport (DfT) in partnership with Innovate UK and Zenzic.
Similar to air traffic control centres, a regional RSOCC would oversee fleets of driverless vehicles operating with No User in charge (NUiC). This centre would monitor multiple vehicles in real-time, intervene when necessary and help the public sector coordinate services across different regions and use cases. Project NAVIGATES is the first dedicated study in the UK to explore this model in detail.
In the following months, the project will:
Research, identify, document and validate the technical and user requirements for an RSOCC.
Conduct a detailed safety and threat assessment for related data transmission needed for monitoring and control.
Develop a high-level system design for control centres, detailing security and communications frameworks.
Undertake an outline business case for operations.
Identify partners and locations for a follow-up demonstration project.
Cenex will lead on stakeholder engagement and business case modelling, drawing on experience from previous projects such as the IUK Project RUBICON. ANGOKA will focus on technical analysis and security design, utilising their expertise in secure communications and remote operations in both CAV and drone environments. By engaging with potential end-users and the broader stakeholder community, Cenex will identify the requirements for the successful deployment of these centres. By combining expertise in low-carbon transport with advanced operational technologies, Cenex is contributing to the development of a smarter, cleaner future for mobility
Robert Evans, CEO of Cenex, stated: “We are pleased to partner with ANGOKA on this significant CCAV-funded feasibility study. The NAVIGATES project highlights the vital role that remote operational centres play in the safe and efficient deployment of autonomous vehicles. These centres are not only responsible for overseeing self-driving vehicle services but can also serve as the nerve centres of a new transport ecosystem, ensuring resilience, responsiveness, and public trust. We look forward to hosting a workshop for project NAVIGATES at Cenex Expo 2025.”
Steve Berry, Chairman at ANGOKA said: “This is a truly significant project helping advance the roll out of autonomous vehicles. With this study we will have the most up to date review of current and forthcoming legislation and how this would affect the widespread adoption of CAVs. We look forward to working on this project with Cenex to establish the most complete picture of what the perceived threats and requirements are to assure the cyber security when operating autonomous ‘driver on the loop’ systems.”
Mark Cracknell, Programme Director at Zenzic, said: “We are thrilled to announce the NAVIGATES project, spearheaded by ANGOKA and Cenex, as one of the fourteen exciting CAM Pathfinder Feasibility Studies taking place across the UK. The deployment of Connected and Automated Mobility solutions holds incredible promise – enhancing accessibility, reducing emissions, and fostering a transport network that is both reliable and inclusive. The NAVIGATES project seeks to address specific challenges that will be key to unlocking those benefits. We are looking forward to working with the project consortia as they further develop their business case and provide vital insight into the opportunities presented by the deployment of CAM solutions in regions throughout the UK.”

Are SFX power supplies ideal for small form factor (SFF) PCs? For sure. At Seasonic, they offer the well-known and time-proven SFX power supply FOCUS Series. They are perfectly fit for the SFF form factor, which our clients highlighted the most. Primarily, because they combine the mix of effectiveness, compact size, and reliable work even during peak loads.
They have a standard size: 125 mm × 125 mm × 63,5 mm. This ensures compatibility with most of the small form factor cases. With the 80 PLUS® Gold certification, they eliminate threats and save you electricity. Particularly, gave 90% of effective work while 50% workload.
With a 10-year warranty from Seasonic, they bring a high-productive performance to your PC and a long lifespan to its components. Additionally, they are fully modular, which makes it highly comfortable to connect extra components or conveniently organise existing ones.
How do you choose the right SFX PSU based on wattage and efficiency?
When picking the right SFX PC power supply for a small form factor (SFF) PC, here are a few key things to keep in mind:
Power capacity. Start by figuring out how much power your system actually needs, including the CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and any other components. We highly recommend using Seasonic’s online power calculator for a more accurate estimate. It even adds an extra 20–30% buffer to ensure your PC runs smoothly under load. No need to calculate all by yourself.
Efficiency. Go for models with 80 PLUS® Platinum or Titanium certification. Basically, the higher the rating, the less energy is lost as heat. Also, keep in mind that PSUs are most efficient when running at 50–80% of their total capacity, so it’s a good idea to choose one with some headroom.
Other practical things. Look for fully modular power supplies, because they make cable management much easier in tight spaces. And don’t forget to double-check the physical size: standard SFX units are usually 125 × 63.5 × 100 mm. And finally, make sure it fits your case, and that the PSU’s ventilation lines up with the airflow design of your setup for optimal cooling.
Which brands offer the most reliable SFX PSUs in 2025?
Seasonic offers SFX solutions with premium quality and highly efficient features that support the smooth operation of your PC. Two key options here are FOCUS SPX PSUs and FOCUS SGX with SFX-L form factor. Both were presented with 750 W and 650 W power, have 80 PLUS® Platinum certification, and a 10-year warranty from Seasonic. But they have slightly different characteristics.
Seasonic FOCUS SGX Series is its SFX-L power supplies. They have the longest form than standard SFX PSUs, work quieter while giving more power to your PC.
Seasonic FOCUS SPX Series are pure SFX power supply units (shorter). They are suitable even for the smallest cases where SGX will not fit.
What are the key differences between SFX, SFX-L, and ATX PSUs?
ATX PSUs are a standard form factor for power supplies which used in most medium and large cases. Their size is 150 mm × 86 mm × 140 mm. These power supplies have ample space for cooling, larger fans, high power (up to 1200 W and above), a large number of connectors, and, in general, offer quiet PC operation.
SFX PSUs are a compact form factor measuring, with dimensions 125 mm × 63.5 mm × 100 mm. They were designed for small cases, such as mini-ITX. Thanks to their limited size, SFX units have smaller fans (usually 80 mm), which can lead to higher noise levels under load. The power level usually reaches 600 – 700 W, although some models offer up to 750 W today. They are a go-to for those who want to build a compact but powerful PC.
SFX-L PSUs are an extended version of SFX. The standard size is 125 mm × 63.5 mm × 130 mm. With the extra depth, you can install a bigger fan (120 mm), which improves cooling. They often have higher power ratings (up to 800 W) and 80 PLUS® Gold or Platinum certification. They’re good for builds in compact cases that give you a little more room. SFX-L doesn’t support all cases, so make sure yours does before buying.
Do you need a fully modular SFX power supply for a clean build?
Definitely yes. Especially for small cases, like SFF and mini-ITX. A fully modular SFX power supply lets you connect only the cables you need, which creates less clutter.
Having this kind of power supply also makes upgrades and maintenance easier since you can replace a single cable if it breaks. Yes, it’s pretty cashier than non-modular models, but you are paying for convenience, high performance, and complete freedom when it comes to connecting PC components.
What cooling and noise levels should you expect from top SFX models?
The Seasonic Focus SPX-750 is one of the top SFX power supplies, combining high power, reliability, and a modern cooling system. This PSU is equipped with a 92 mm fan with Silent Hybrid Fan Control. It means that up to a certain temperature, the fan doesn’t turn on at all, and it runs completely silently. The fan turns on gradually as the temperature rises, so there is less noise.
At low and medium loads (up to 30-40% power), the noise level is only 19-20 dB, which is practically inaudible. The noise increases to 31-36 dB at 40-50% load, which is like a system fan running quietly. However, at high loads (70–100%), the noise can reach 40–53 dB.
A well-designed cooling system and high-quality components prevent overheating. The fan in the SPX-750 can be used in both hybrid and constant modes, depending on your preferences. The power supply is popular with users, especially for assemblies in compact cases.
Are SFX power supplies compatible with high-end GPUs and CPUs?
Yes, modern SFX / SFX-L power supplies can power top-of-the-line processors and graphics cards. Even RTX 4090 and Ryzen 9 or Core i9. But only if you have an SFX with enough power (≥ 850 W, preferably 1000 W+ for reserve). We also recommend making sure you have the right cables for your PC or are compatible with 12VHPWR.
Compactness does not mean limitations. With the right approach, SFX power supplies can easily handle the high-speed components of your PC.

Conclusions
Today, the market offers a lot of options for computer PSUs in the SFX form factor. It’s up to you what to choose, but it’s better to evaluate all pros and cons before buying. Identify each PSU’s individual characteristics, then compare them with your case. This way, you make sure it fits perfectly and gives you the best performance.
The SuperEQ A200 Over Ear Headphones Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Hi-Res Audio 6-Mic AI ENC is their latest product to hit the market at an affordable price but do they drop out with how they sound and what is on offer?
These also come with a removable mic so for those on calls at home or the office or even gamers will be delighted keeping these true to form being hybrid as many folk today use their headphones for both office work and gaming along with enjoying movies and music etc from the smartphone or tablet.
The headphones themselves are comfortable to wear long term and the cups cover the ears giving some passive noise isolation out of the box the cups are plush and deep and the headband also offers comfort with a soft plush finish, the rest of the headphones is finished in a matt black and do not show fingerprints.
The cups twist and pivot so will sit nicely on your head with no clamping effect and the arms can be adjusted without the ratchet effect we are use to however they do not fold up for travel etc but this is fine.
On the left side we have all the controls and this time around not seen too often is a multifucntional wheel for several actions and another button and also the USB-C port for the mic we spoke about earlier.
There is an app however limited in functionality but does enough for the price point how you get it will vary as on Android but you can download directly on iOS. You can see the screenshots below and more in the video review after that.
The sound is decent to be fair and decently loud and there is several EQs in the app and you can create your own too and save them. ANC is more prevalent in a quieter environment and that is where you will get the full potential from these headphones
You have mode switch and hearing protection on board and a timed shutdown in the app and you can also reset the headphones if required to do so.
The sound overall is loud punchy and fine with highs lows and mids and there is nice bass in there too especially on bass drops, you have noise reduction and transparency mode there too, no lag latency noted or tinny sound when at full volume making them a decent pair of headphones for the money.
Battery life is also quite good here with fast charge on deck allowing you 7hrs for 5 mins charge and up to 100 hours with no ANC and around 60 with ANC though user settings will give a different time for everyone..
