Gadget Detective - A selection of free tech advice & tech news broadcasts by Fevzi Turkalp on the BBC & elsewhere

Fevzi Turkalp, the Gadget Detective, joins Bill Buckley on BBC Berkshire to discuss the latest tech news and reviews. On this week's show a look at some of the news that broke in the last few months, scientists in the US announce a breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion, opening the way to cleaner energy. AI is back in the news with ChatGTP, an artificial intelligence taking the internet by storm as it demonstrates its abilities and raises questions about humanity's future. Finally, NASA manages to change the trajectory of an asteroid, raising the possibility of diverting any that would otherwise hit the Earth, or of mining them for minerals.
Plus a look at three of the best gadgets of the year with;
The ARLO Go 2 Wireless Security Camera. This security camera features Wi-Fi but also has a sim-card slot, allowing it to connect over a mobile data network so it can be placed outside of a Wi-Fi coverage area or as a backup should Wi-Fi fail, it features a rechargeable battery and is ideal for securing your property. Scoring 4.5 out of 5, it's one to consider.
The Jabra Elite 85T Wireless Earbuds. These earbuds feature stunning quality audio, 5 1/2 hours' playback, extendable to 20 hours with the charging base, and even an app which tailors the audio to the listener's specific hearing ability. Scoring 4 out of 5, more details in the show.
The Roland Zenbeats mobile app. This mobile music creation suite runs on iOS or Android and features a full music production suite, including samplers, synths, drum machine and much more. There's even a free version if you just want to check it out before considering one of the subscriptions offered. Excellent for musicians on the move and scored 4 out of 5
