About
This site started with a phone.
I spent months choosing a foldable, read every review I could find, and bought a slab instead — because not one of those reviews tested the thing I needed: often using a phone one-handed, with gloves on, during a 12-hour shift, limited interactions, but still great at home.
I’m Paul, a nurse on rotating days and nights. The gap between how gear gets reviewed and how it gets used on a shift turned out to be wide enough to write about.
So that’s what this is. Phones, headphones, keyboards, everyday carry, and whatever else I’m testing — judged across a full shift instead of an afternoon at a desk. Sometimes games, in the hours between.
Everything is bought with my own money unless a post says otherwise. No paid reviews, no brand approvals, no verdicts written before the testing.
None of it is medical or nursing advice, unless clearly stated otherwise in the post itself.
