I would like to replace my car with an EV (electric vehicle), or more precisely a battery electric vehicle (BEV). My problem is mostly twofold: I don’t want to move backwards in terms of comfort/convenience/features versus my current ICE (internal combustion engine) car, and the market is evolving at a pace which makes something significantly better “just around the corner”.

Well, more like Android 11, the NVIDIA Shield is actually going to “Experience 9.0″… Either way, it’s great on a few levels. Mostly because it shows that NVIDIA is still committed to enhancing what is, IMO, one of the best OTT streamers, but also because besides the bug/security fixes, there are some nice feature additions like 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos for […]

Lots of companies throw around the “Pro” moniker in a way that makes it meaningless, but in this case it might actually apply; although “Plus” would probably be more fitting. For e.g. USB Type C power is a great add over the standard G4 doorbell, but why do we still have to use Wi-Fi to connect it when UI could […]

The current end-user VPN types on the Ubiquiti UDM/UDM-Pro aren’t awesome. IPsec works, but there are issues. Big enough issues that Android 12 users can’t leverage it anymore. Personally, I switched over to WireGuard a while back, but I would much rather that it was natively supported on the UDM/UDM-Pro instead of having to wrestle with yet-another-Linux VM in my […]

It also includes a critical update to Unifi Network, and was supposed to support a new feature that I’ve been really looking forward to using on my […]

I’m probably behind the curve on this one, but I recently discovered that battery replacers exist. This is awesome, especially this time of year when my wife adds all sorts of AA/AAA powered annoyances, er… flashing holiday lights, around the house and forgets to turn them off when it’s time to go to sleep. This doesn’t solve the energy waste […]

Having given up on the Zooz ZEN25 ever getting fixed, I went in search of a cheap alternative that wouldn’t cause Z-Wave network instability. Found an answer in these cheap Zigbee switches that are sold under many different brand names including CMARS, eWeLink, and Seedan.
Read moreIt’s no secret that I work in technology, so this is doubly in my wheelhouse. Not only is it great content, from a YouTuber I really enjoy, but relevant to my professional interests. Not exactly what we generally cover here, but Google demographics indicates that many of you are very likely to share similar interests, so I thought I’d share […]

While it hasn’t always been easy, I am a big fan of my Hubitat C-7 Elevation hub. One of the great things about it, and the other Elevation hubs that the Hubitat keeps on making them more awesome. Today they released the 2.2.9 firmware update which among a HUGE list of changes, drivers, and improvements, also includes some security “enhancements”. […]
