I’m sure that everyone here uses a password manager. It’s the safest, smartest way to handle all of those massive, unique, credentials that we use for all of our digital assets. It is a bit of a pain to setup, and use on a daily basis, compared to going for the trusty “1234QWERTY!”, but totally worth it; as we all […]

Given the recent movements in the home automation market, Amazon grabbing Ring didn’t surprise me at all. It will be interesting to see how this works with another recent purchase – Blink. Amazon is expected to keep Ring as an independent business, much like it has with its other acquisitions, like Zappos and Twitch, according to GeekWire, which earlier reported […]

In a previous post we looked at how to install a Let’s Encrypt certificate with a Unifi Video installation. As it turned out, shortly after publishing our guide Ubiquiti made it possible to do this in a [sort of] official way with Unifi Video 3.8.1+, simplifying the process somewhat.

There are a lot of features that I really like about the Fingbox. The automated Internet performance testing, is one of my favorites because it provides a snapshot of how well (or poorly) my service is doing without me having to manage it myself. Back when we were having trouble with our ISP, this came in quite handy. This feature […]
Read moreI don’t think I would buy a UltraHD Blu-ray player that didn’t have Dolby Vision support at this point. Especially not one that costs what the Samsung UBD-M9500 goes for. Unfortunately, it’s probably not even a great time to buy a disc player at all with a slew of new models coming out in the next couple months. Many of […]

SVS unveiled the SB-4000, PB-4000, and PC-4000 4000 series subwoofers back in November. These reference quality subs replace their popular 13-Ultra series, with a level of change which is quite dramatic from the previous generation. Alterations were made to the cabinet and 13.5” driver, but the electronics received the most benefit with the introduction of a 50MHz Analog Devices Audio […]
