WelcomeJULY 2021 T 3 5T 3 ’S MISSIONEditor’s letterAt the time of writing, the T 3 team has recently
celebrated our favourite cultural holiday. Not the
Solstice: the oatmeal pallorof most techjournalists
means we’re doctrinally forbidden from celebrating the
sun’s influence on our lives. No, of course we’re talking
about Amazon Prime Day.
Like all truly great holidays, it’s calendrically ambiguous,
drifting through its given month so unpredictably you’d need
an orrery to determine its date each year. And it exists largely
just an excuse for us to acquire all of the fancy stuff we’ve
had our eye on for six months. So we’ve spent the festive
period feverishly tracking deals and buying up bargain tech.
The net result is that we’re all: shattered, broke and happily
playing with our new purchases.
Fortunately, this means we have both a glut of tech to
recommend and a newfound desire to start getting out of
the house more. Which has inspired this issue’s Summer
Special: whether you’re just looking to spend more time in
the garden, party in the park or go for a relaxing staycation,
we’ve got the perfect gear to take with you. From Bluetooth
speakers to BBQs, fire pits to fitness watches, shades to
e-scooters, we have all the tech you need to make your
summer complete.Josh Russell, Editor

happily use ourselves, we end up discarding a significant
number of options in each category before settling on a final
shortlist to review.We select only the best of thebest for

consider purchasing.And that should mean an endto youhaving to undertakehours of painstaking research and
