What it does
Explore the Charged technology archive by Owen Williams: practical guides, reviews, and analysis on developer tools, smart homes, privacy, and platforms.
For almost a decade, Charged was an independent technology blog and podcast, written by Owen Williams to help people keep up with industry news in an approachable manner. Charged is in archive mode as of 2026 , so sadly we're not writing actively anymore, but our archives will stick around. A guided route through the reviews, practical guides, and analysis readers still return to. Developer setups, MacBook alternatives, and the Windows hardware that made a convincing case for switching. Hands-on projects for Hue lighting, switches, coffee makers, and the devices connecting the home. Essays about tracking, advertising, and the power technology platforms have over everyday life.
