We are back for another Tech Addicts Podcast. This week we mixing cutting-edge gadgets with a generous helping of retro nostalgia. Atari is bringing back its classic 800XL home computer, but is £199 a fair price for a trip down memory lane? We also look at Amazon opening its new Alexa tablets to Google Play, Corsair’s enormous Xeneon Edge touchscreen, Anker’s latest home backup battery and a new portable music player inspired by the iPod Classic and Microsoft Zune. Plus, there’s a new charging dock for the Steam Controller, Oppo’s compact Pad Mini tablet is heading global, and Google is discontinuing a Pixel Watch safety feature. Join us for another round of tech news, gadgets, opinions and the occasional questionable purchase!

Hosts set up a kit to provide shared high-speed satellite internet to local people, earning a cut from every connection while Starlink manages the payments, access and connectivity. A new “Starlink for communities” site has launched alongside a beta interest from across countries like the USA, Canada and Mexico, though specific pricing details have not yet been announced. Also Starlink confirms plans to become ‘the world’s most advanced mobile network’ and a ‘major’ US carrier
