Even though I don’t own a Tesla, I am a fan*. Not always of the behavior of the company (case in point), and certainly not the fellow that runs it. More of what they are doing on a macro scale to the auto industry, and how they are doing it. They drive innovation by creating a premium product, at a […]

While I wouldn’t dream of smarting up my house without the unified experience a home automation controller (HAC) provides, I can see that not everyone wants to take that step. Devices like the HALO, which connect directly to your Wi-Fi and use an app, are a great way to get some of the benefits of a smart lock on your […]

I imagine that many people have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro). I would definetly include myself in the bunch (actually made sure to place my order before writing this post :P), although it wasn’t access to Unifi Protect, or all the Cloud-key stuff built in, so much as the upgraded CPU – which […]

I haven’t played with ANGi, but it seems like a solid concept with clunky execution. Which, apparently, has improved slightly this morning. DCR has the skinny. Wahoo and Specialized have announced a new integration that lets Wahoo users automatically start and stop the Specialized ANGi helmet live tracking and crash detection features, directly from their Wahoo ELEMNT/BOLT/ROAM computers. This integration […]

$1000 for a 2000 lumen projector isn’t bad, especially when it comes with Android TV; which will cover all the OTT/streaming providers. But, with a native resolution of 1280×800, don’t expect super crisp PQ from the 150″ max projection. Epson Redefines the Big-Screen Streaming Experience with a Smart Streaming Laser Projector with Android TV With 3-Chip Laser Projection Technology and […]

I get that companies want to sell existing customers new kit, and it totally makes sense to create an incentive for them to do that. Greasing the wheels a bit to make it easier – not everyone wants to deal with Craigslist or Ebay – also makes sense. But if it’s true that Sonos is intentionally bricking working speakers via […]

I must admit that I haven’t really looked too deeply at what Plex’s Camera Upload feature does. Primarily using it as a local backup, well that was the intent anyway, because this morning I discovered that it doesn’t actually backup the DNG (RAW photos) or videos that I take with the phone. Very disappointing… There is a feature request to […]

If you looked lustfully at the SVS 3000 (or 4000) series, but knew deep down that there was no way in H E DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS, your partner was going to approve the PO. This new SVS 2000 smaller footprint in the room, and your wallet, might be just the thing to shake things up in whatever room you watch TV, […]

Effortless surround sound, well as long as you have an AC outlet nearby. That’s the promise of WiSA, and it’s gotten much easier with devices like Axiim’s LINK because you don’t even need a receiver. Now there’s a $900 5.1 THX certified tuned (eh?) system entering the market to fill in the previous gap between budget and high-end. SAN JOSE, […]

Not sure what’s up with all the product announcements lately, but this is a good one if you have a Unifi system, need better wireless coverage, and can’t run more Cat. Yep, this is Ubiquiti’s Unifi $129 dedicated mesh product (Amplifi is the a mesh/mesh product), but the more interesting thing about this product announcement (at least to me) is […]
