Budget phone review: Aspera Wren 4G Dual Sim 8MP Brand: Aspera Model: Wren Released November 2018 Full specs on their site here I got tired of charging and lugging a work and non-work phone around, so I went hunting two months ago.

The popular Firefox web browser broke at the beginning of this month because a security certificate didn’t update … for what ever the tech reasons. Three days of watching YouTube with bloody Uber ad’s on, and porn pop-ups on movie download sites have been driving be bonkers. It got so bad I started using Chrome for a few hours before cracking the craps with that, and deciding to get to the bottom of the Firefox matter. (others online were saying addons were starting to work for them again) I have…

I hardly watch free to air TV (been a year since I turned it on) but I can imagine it’s just as bad there. Youtube, Courier Mail and everywhere else I go on the internet, I’m getting spammed with ‘Uber Eats’ advertising. If I want something to eat, I’ll hop in my own flipping car, go shopping … and cook my own flipping burgers.

Last week I spent extra (rare for tight assed me) on postage from a supposed Australian eBay seller – item was a little MD81 wi-fi camera Same thing shipped from China by Chinese sellers is cheaper even with the Australian GST import tax. I needed the camera fast. Item location? Supposedly Botany NSW .. 1000 km trip in 4 or 5 working days max, no sweat. With tied eyes scanning advert after advert for an hour, I settled on one with the Australian Flag on it. OK I though, then…
