Hozo Design M-Cube 02 review: hands-free laser level sticks directly to surfaces
It's such a tool useful for all manner of DIY projects thanks to its brilliant suction mounting system that means it can sit securely on any wall or surface, once it is relatively smooth or slightly textured, leaving both of your hands free to do the job in hand.
The firm said that it's compatible with most wall materials, including drywall, brick, concrete, wood and stone.

Laser levels come in handy for a variety of tasks such as hanging pictures. This one features a vacuum pump that attaches directly to your working surface with plenty of suction every time. It comes with EPDM rubber suction cups that ensure a firm hold without causing any damage to your walls.
M-Cube 02 has horizontal and vertical levelling beams and laser-based distance measuring which allow you to mark exactly where your fittings should go without the need for a separate tape measure. It allows you to measure in Imperial or Metric. Hozo Design M-Cube 02 sticks to any relatively smooth surface (Image: Hozo)
There's also a convenient midpoint finder and a mode to measure the distance between two surfaces. This is ideal for room layout planning, aligning wall art with symmetry and evenly spacing furniture.
You can use the M-Cube 02 as a high-precision laser level, complete with horizontal and vertical bubble indicators, or take it to another level by pairing it with an original M-Cube for advanced digital angle readouts. Both come together in the Premium Combo bundle, incidentally.
The companion Meazor app then syncs measurements directly to your smartphone. Hozo Design M-Cube 02 verdict
I'm not the most enthusiastic or capable DIY person, but I found M-Cube 02 super helpful and game changing. And I'd imagine anyone in the building trade would find it an essential and helpful tool. Pricing and availability
Hozo Design M-Cube 02 Anti-Gravity Laser Level costs €175.50 (on Amazon), or the Pro version (with the Green Laser Measure) costs €207.95 from Hozo, while or the Premium Combo bundle costs €268.95, also from Hozo.

How to spot a dodgy app Detecting a malicious app before you hit the 'Download' button is easy when you know the signs. Follow this eight-point checklist when you're downloading an app you're unsure about: Check the reviews - be wary of both complaints and uniformly positive reviews by fake accounts. Look out for grammar mistakes - legitimate app developers won't have typos or errors in their app descriptions. Check the number of downloads - avoid apps with only several thousand downloads, as it could be fake. Research the developer - do they have a good reputation? Or, are totally fake? Check the release date - a recent release date paired with a high number of downloads is usually bad news. Review the permission agreement - this agreement gives permission for the app to take bits of your data, and fake apps often ask for additional data that is not necessary. Check the update frequency - an app that is updated too frequently is usually indicative of security vulnerabilities. Check the icon - look closely, and don't be deceived by distorted, lower-quality versions the icons from legitimate apps. All of this information will available in both Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store.

Nanoleaf Pegboard review: declutters desk, charges devices and colours your life
Nanoleaf's range of lights include decorative wall panels and bulbs along with the likes of the stunning Umbra Cup Smart Lamp that I previously reviewed. The firm's new Pegboard Desk Dock is a clever three-in-one device that offers personalised lighting effects, handy storage hooks for keeping your desk organised along with useful charging ports. It's pitched as a customisable lamp accessory for gaming desks. It works with both Mac and Windows computers and is compatible with the Nanoleaf Desktop app. READ MORE: I tested Xgimi MoGo 4 to see can a portable projector deliver enough entertainment on the go READ MORE: Nothing Phone 3a review: is this the best smartphone you can buy for less than €400? One side of the unit is a pegboard that provides somewhere to hang accessories like headsets and gaming console controllers, not to mention your smartphone. You need to assemble this side yourself but it only takes a few minutes. The opposite side houses 64 colour LEDs with screen-mirroring support for those moments when you just want a decent ambient lighting show. Pegboard Desk Dock is a robustly made device that doesn't take up much room on my desk. The base is only 107mm x 107mm x 18mm in size, while the pegboard is 23mm x 91mm x 274mm. It helps keep my desk clutter free when I am working while enabling me to have some accessories within easy reach whenever I need to use them. Both sides of the Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock (Image: Nanoleaf) And when I'm not working I can rotate the Pegboard Desk Dock to the LED lighting side for immersive visuals to brighten up the room. You can easily flip between the two modes thanks to its rotating mechanism. You can have full control over the colours and the lighting if you wish, or you can use handy presets such as Lava Lamp or Waterfall. If you are listening to music, you can sync the lighting show to the beat easily. It all works smoothly. I'm always in need of more charging ports when I'm working and I love that this clever device includes one USB-A and two USB-C ports along with a USB-C Power Delivery input port. Charging is capped at 15W but that's acceptable for such a versatile device. Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock verdict Overall, I'm super pleased with this fun Nanoleaf accessory which has brightened up my working environment and proved a great addition to my desktop set-up. Nanoleaf pricing and availability Nanoleaf Pegboard Desk Dock costs €69.99 from Nanoleaf. There is also €10 off the twin pack which costs €129.99. You can also buy the Pegboard Desk Dock on Amazon.
