It’s no secret that I work in technology, so this is doubly in my wheelhouse. Not only is it great content, from a YouTuber I really enjoy, but relevant to my professional interests. Not exactly what we generally cover here, but Google demographics indicates that many of you are very likely to share similar interests, so I thought I’d share […]

While it hasn’t always been easy, I am a big fan of my Hubitat C-7 Elevation hub. One of the great things about it, and the other Elevation hubs that the Hubitat keeps on making them more awesome. Today they released the 2.2.9 firmware update which among a HUGE list of changes, drivers, and improvements, also includes some security “enhancements”. […]

It’s so weird that Ubiquiti (UI) has stopped pretending that Early Access (EA) kit is a secret, except when it suits them. But, I guess it’s their ball, they can throw a tantrum and go home whenever they want. I just wish there was more consistency around the whole thing. Oh, and this router thing looks pretty slick; well maybe […]

I’m confused. Is Early Access an NDA program, or not? Because if we’re not supposed to be talking about Ubiquiti’s EA HW, someone should really tell Ubiquiti about it… That said, the AI 360 looks really neat, as a concept; especially with PTZ. With a 1920×1920 resolution, it’s probably OK for some installations, but given the video’s pitch, it’s probably […]

It’s always a great thing when companies break the rules they set for themselves. But hey, who are we to judge? We’re all hypocrites in our own way :). On the plus side, I guess this means we can talk about the Unifi Dream Machine Pro SE before it comes out of EA. Or at least I hope so, because […]

I try very hard to resist piling on when a tech company makes a tone-deaf call, but this time I simply can’t. Seriously Amazon, WTF? If you use Alexa, Echo, or any other Amazon device, you have only 10 days to opt out of an experiment that leaves your personal privacy and security hanging in the balance. On June 8, […]

Spring is in the air, here in the Northern Hemisphere, so it’s time for another version of PowerDVD to emerge, blinky-eyed, from the embargo and let us know how much winter is left in the HTPC landscape. Unfortunately, the UltraHD Blu-ray story hasn’t changed at all, so there’s still that weird thing where AMD CPU users, and anyone with a […]

I’d never heard of XGIMI before they sent me the details on their new XGIMI Horizon 1080p and XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K projectors, and TBH I was inclined to ignore it until I actually looked at the specifications for them. While it is a bit disappointing that they don’t support Dolby Vision, HDR 10 is on board along with Android […]

We’ve been using Current banking for a bit over three years because it provides a really easy way to control over, and get great visibility into, what our kids spend their money on. There have been ups and downs in that time, mostly due to Current’s immaturity as a financial institution. But, where it wasn’t always perfect, that imperfection was […]

Considering the nightmare that many people experienced with the 1.9.0-1.9.2 UDM/UDM-Pro firmware releases, my upgrade to 1.9.3 was relatively painless. I did experience a few issues, so I thought it was worth documenting them, and what I did to fix them.
