Episode Tease

When I hear "hydroponics" I always think of sci-fi and long missions to deep space. Fortunately, hydroponics is much more rooted in reality than the genre suggests, and this brings us neatly to Opcom Farm (http://www.opcomfarm.com/) and their indoor hydroponics systems. Todd digs with Ray from Opcom and discovers how to garden in your garage.

Opcom offers everything needed to setup a home hydroponics garden except the space. Even then, the GrowPod (http://www.opcomfarm.com/product.php?Item=7&id=241) can create space within another area, such as a garage, for the racks and shelving needed for a hydroponic garden. These days all the lights are LED, so energy costs are kept low, and there's a range of units from the simple O2-Light (http://www.opcomfarm.com/product.php?Item=7&id=238) to a full GrowWall (http://www.opcomfarm.com/product.php?Item=7&id=243). It all depends on the budget - a GrowPod starts at $2000.

There's plenty of information on Opcom Farm (http://www.opcomfarm.com)'s website and some products are available from Amazon.com (http://amzn.to/2Hpg7C1). Others are on pre-order for delivery in 2018.

(http://geeknewscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/PicoBrew_logo_black.jpg)At CES 2017, PicoBrew (https://www.picobrew.com) showed off their personal beer brewing machine and this year, they're back with a little something to take home alcohol production to the next level. Todd finds out more from George.

(http://geeknewscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/PicoStill.png)For existing PicoBrewers, the PicoStill (https://www.picobrew.com/Store/products/picostill.cshtml) brings an opportunity to "up their game" and start distilling small batches of spirits safely and more precisely. 500 ml takes about 4 hours to produce, and up to 180 proof is possible with will multilevel distilling. Alternatively, the PicoStill can capture the essence of hops and other oils to give unique flavors and aromas to food and drinks.

The PicoStill is on pre-order for $249 ($349 SRP) but it's an accessory for other brewing appliances (Pico S/Pro/C) so check compatibility before ordering.

Also on show is the Pico C (https://www.picobrew.com/Store/products/picoC.cshtml), a smaller and cheaper beer brewing machine for $549.

Episode Tease

Mobile data charges abroad can be prohibitively expensive and tethering for Wi-Fi burns through the phone's battery. The new Fonebud (https://fonebud.com/) W wireless hotspot solves this problem for over 80 countries worldwide. Don chats with Dixon about the features of this new device.

Using your home SIM while in a foreign land typically ends with a large bill when you get back, though seasoned travelers will have a pocketful of SIMs for local telcos. Mind you, it's still a pain making sure that your smartphone is unlocked and forwarding your calls to your new number (unless you have a dual SIM phone). A much better solution would be the upcoming Fonebud W personal Wi-Fi hotspot which works in over 80 countries, particularly in Asia and China. The 10,000 mAh battery will run the Fonebud W for well over a day and can be used to wirelessly charge a smartphone. Yes, it has a wireless charger built-in, though you can still charge with a cable. The small LED screen shows details of connectivity and battery life.

The Fonebud W will be available in Q2 2018 and will cost $129-$169 including 24 GB data which is valid for a year.
