Ubiquiti Releases Unifi Protect 1.14.19 for UDM-Pro
I was looking forward to the release of Unifi Protect 1.14.19 because rumor had it that by moving the configuration for the NVR to external storage recording events would now survive a hard reset of the UDM-Pro host. Given how things have been going with the UDM-Pro, the result was not surprising.

Read moreAdding Iris Zigbee Sensors to a Hubitat Home Automation Controller
Every so often I am reminded why Hubitat is an amazing platform for the DIY Home Automation (HA) enthusiast. While documentation around how to do this is super thin, Hubitat supports Zigbee sensors from the Lowes Iris HA platform.

It’s too early to say exactly, but given the length of the “Known Issues” I’m going to speculate that “stable” is only relative to version 1.6.4. Here’s hoping that they can knock a few more of these out, as well as the one that affects me (selfish, IKR).
Read moreAnandtech Reviews Intel NUC10i7FNH
The NVIDIA Shield TV pretty much killed my interest in the Windows x86 DIY HTPC. It just does everything I want it to do, better.

Read moreCitroen Ami, an enclosed golf cart for city surfing
I don’t think you can call anything that doesn’t require a license a car, so I’m going with enclosed golf cart. Please don’t take anything but AWE from that though, because I think this little guy is fantastic. ~40 miles of range, charge from 220v in three hours, and a top speed just shy of 30mph.
