My technology kit - full disclosure

This is a (continuously changing) list of things and services I have here on loan.

Full time job: I now work for Intergen and while they are understanding of my involvement with the Geekzone community and website, the company is not involved with Geekzone or my other activities.

On Long Term Loan:

• HP EliteBook 1020
• HP Folio 13
• Huawei Mate 10 Pro
• Huawei Mate 9
• HTC Re Camera
• HP Microserver
• Logitech Performance M950 mouse
• Logitech MX Master mouse
• Harman/Kardon headphones
• Fritz!Box
• Fitbit Charge 2
• Fitbit Surge
• Fitbit Blaze
• Fugoo Bluetooth speaker

Some things I have here and it's worth saying "I paid for it myself":

• Office 365 Microsoft Exchange Online
• Microsoft keyboard
• ASUS Android tablet 
• Amazon Kindle 
• Amazon Fire TV
• Withings Activite
• Bose QC35 headphones

So what's the difference between a "On Loan" and "Long Term Loan"? Basically "On Loan" means it will be returned to the manufacturer or PR agency sometime in the very near future. "Long Term Loan" means the manufacturer or PR have either sent the hardware or software without expecting it to be returned and because of use and tear I can decide myself to either return, give it away, or keep it.

If you follow me around on Geekzone and Twitter you know that I pretty much give almost everything away after a while.

I also attend some conferences and other technical events, as a guest - sometimes I pay my travel/accommodation, sometimes this is covered as part of the invite. It doesn't mean I have to write good things about anyone though.

I don't take cash or equivalent for writing. I am not posting links to these products because it's not a URL drop post. It's a disclosure post. Like it or not.
