If you’re having trouble adopting a Unifi AP (access point), need to change a network IP, or curious how to setup and configure a wireless network on a UDM or UDM-Pro so that it has it’s own VLAN/subnet for management reasons (i.e. parental controls). This video walks through all the steps to do that, as well as discussing some features […]

Due to a bug in the Unifi mobile app, I incorrectly stated that the UDM-Pro’s SFP+ ports were completely broken. As it turns out, they do work, but only barely.

A bit over a week has past since the UDM-Pro first look, and I thought it would be good to provide a status update, and show some good (IPS) and bad (SFP+ ports) news that I discovered while waiting for Ubiquiti to respond/fix anything.
Read moreAdding to the list of things that should be obvious, but I just haven’t thought about: Teslas can be jailbroken to provide features [back] that shouldn’t have been taken away. People have certain expectations when they buy a car. For example, they expect it to work for years afterwards needing only basic maintenance. They also expect that the purchase price […]

It’s always disappointing when something neat goes away, and I would definitely classify the Human Hex muscle oxygen sensor in that group. In some ways, it could be a better indicator that heart rate for most of what we use heart rate for; whether running or cycling. Ultimately, I can also see why they weren’t able to make it though.

Resonado‘s Flat Core speaker is definitely more on the “interesting technology that I hope to see come to market” side of things than we usually cover, but given the potential to create really neat speaker shapes, I think it’s worth a mention. They do seem to be more focused on mobile (e.g. laptop, phones, tablets, etc) than home, or home […]

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 […]

With a 4K (UHD) front and 1080p rear camera, 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, cloud connectivity, GPS, and HEVC recording up to 25Mbps (front) + 10Mbps (rear), the Blackvue DR900S-2CH is a top end dashcam. Does the high end feature set justify the higher MSRP (around $500) vs Blackvue’s other offerings? Thanks to Blackvue (Pittasoft) for providing the review sample.

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 […]
