August 11th, 2020 was finally Solar Install Day. At least for me :). While I would have loved to catch those June/July rays, I definitely think it was worth the wait to get the system I wanted; and also I can’t say how long it would have taken for any of the other vendors either. In total, it took three […]

If you’ve ever remodeled a kitchen or bathroom, you’ve almost certainly sat around a computer with a designer, creating the perfect combination of cabinets, sinks, and whatever else you want to put in the room. Audio Advice’s Home Theater Designer is like that, but for home theater rooms. I did ask about how much you can DIY, because I suspect […]

Don’t tell anyone, but it’s been all over Reddit that the UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell was in EA. Apparently today is the day when it GA’d, because I received an “in-stock” notice, but unfortunately by the time I clicked on it (2 minutes later) it was sold out. Damn!

I think RHA really missed the boat by not offering a burnt orange version of their 2nd generation TrueConnect wireless headphones. We’ll just have to make-do with either a black or navy ;). That said, they look great, offer fantastic battery life (9+ hours from the buds, and 35 in the charging case), capacitive touch control, wide mobile assistant integration, […]
