Smart phone for gym
At the moment I use my main phone in the public gym. This involves leaving it lying around whilst I exercise, and there's definitely a risk of theft. That's mitigated by it being a fairly old low end Motorola phone, with practically no value in itself. Nevertheless, it has a banking app on it, plus a keyless entry system…

Mounting a hard drive underneath desk
Not really a hard drive, more an enclosure. This enclosure to be exact. A lot of the time it's just a case of knowing what's on the market to make your job easier. I've found some stuff on Etsy but it was getting on £30 which is a bit silly imo. I want it off the desk really but still handy. I was thinking of some under…
