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 […]

Nothing wrong with a quick, mostly bug fix, release for Unifi Protect. I’ve been really pleased with the performance of the 1.19.x releases so far, except that the firmware that came with 1.19.0 bricked one of my G3 Dome cameras…

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.

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, […]

The SENNHEISER Momentum True Wireless 2 Bluetooth Headset is one of those weird products that is expensive, great as some things, but totally blows at the most fundamental thing a mobile headset needs to do…

As a long-time Hubitat Elevation C-5 home automation controller user, I was really looking forward to swapping in their new C-7 hub and reviewing it. While it has worked out for the most part, it wasn’t as clean, easy, or simple as I expected.
