  • With AirPower canceled, here are the best alternative Qi wireless iPhone charging pads

    I just ordered a Nomad base station. Will pick it up from Best Buy tomorrow when running errands. My SS s2 Apple Watch, iPhone X and s1 AirPods with the new wireless case (water damage on the orig) will have a new home on my night stand, devoid of the current cable mayhem. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

  • LG UltraWide 5K2K is a beast of a monitor with Thunderbolt 3

    I love my LG LG 34UM95 and it's TWO tb2 ports. I have a 2016 MBP and might be interested in upgrading, bu the single TB3 port is a dealbreaker even though running at 4.5K may not leave a huge amount of bandwidth available on the MBP controller chip it's connected to. I have an LG 5k as a second monitor connected to the tb3 controller on the opposite side of my MBP. Perhaps the newer MBPs have a more robust controller. Anyhoo... too many devices only have single tb3 ports, which makes for too many dead ends IMHO.

  • Review: Hue Lily multi-color spotlights bring HomeKit to the outdoors

    I currently have 5 Hue colour bulbs and two light strips. I enjoy what I can do with them mood wise, but abhor the idea of paying for a fixture that essentially lasts as long as the life of the bulb. Not too much of a hit with this kit, but some of the other upcoming fixtures (i'm looking at you, mirror) are quite expensive $250 USD. Not a fan of light fixtures becoming non upgradable/updatable appliances.

  • Hands on with Apple's 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro with i7 processor

    This is a nice update. Glad they were able to get it up to 32GB in RAM. Long overdue. 

    I am looking at the 15" 2.6GHz model to possibly replace my  2012 MBPro 2.6GHz (9,1) non retina. Just have to get a hub for it with all my peripherals I'll need to connect to it. Looking into the OWC TB3 13 port hub. It's a tad pricey but it's got all the ports I need.
    Thrilled with my OWC TB3 Dock. Originally has an OWC TB2 dock, and now it's my spare for mobile setups of my editing station.

  • First look: Lumos smart bike helmet with Apple Watch gesture integration and HealthKit sup...

    I bought one a year ago and love it. I'm glad they now offer Apple Watch integration as it makes using the turn signals effortless compared to having to use the switch.
    Glad that I could just update the firmware on my helmet through the app to gain this new functionality.
