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 […]

Protect 1.19.0 has been in the works for a while. Great that UI took the time to get it right, with a bunch of improvements and bugfixes. I just wish that my cameras wouldn’t keep failing.

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 was on vacation when this came out, and as eager as I was to update, I wasn’t willing to do it remotely.

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 […]

I’ve been really, really, cautious with the 1.9.x UDM/UDM-Pro firmware releases, but I think it’s time to throw caution to the wind with the 1.9.3 release. Somewhat because it genuinely seems to be more solid release (mostly on the controller side), but also because UI’s breach, and lack of disclosure around what happened exactly, puts us all at massive risk.

Remember that Ubiquiti (UI) security breach a while back? Well, looks like it’s much (much) worse than they let on. Not only in the degree and scope of what was compromised, but also how long it took for them to notify customers and with that response in general. The TLDR; is that they put everyone at massive risk because stock […]

I’ve been using a Hubitat Elevation home automation controller, aka hub, for a few years now, and I generally like it. A lot. But, it’s not perfect, and one of the things that makes it not perfect is that the backups don’t include radio information. Which means that they aren’t real backups. If your hub dies, or you want to […]
