Adding keyless entry to your home is a great way to enable access without requiring anyone to carry around a physical key. Whether that is a dog walker, your kids, or when you step out for a run.

I must admit that I haven’t been following Samsung’s QLED display lineup. It should be better than last year’s, and QLED is interesting, but the lack of Dolby Vision support and that it’s not OLED has dimmed my interest in them. That’s not to say that there aren’t valid reasons to grab one (room lighting, size considerations, etc.), so if […]
