I have had one outside for over a year now, and if you have a porch area, this is a great outdoor camera.

I am sometimes astonished that a company built on the notion of prioritizing the user experience is still capable of allowing some absurd UI oversights to remain unfixed through countless macOS generations.

One of the most absurd examples to me is the fact that menu bar items can end up being hidden behind the MacBook Pro notch …

Apple TV has its best summer lineup ever kicking off soon, but now we know of a notable fall premiere too: a new Matthew McConaughey comedy series called Brothers.

I have an AirTag on my keychain to keep track of my keys, but obviously an AirTag is too big and bulky to fit inside a wallet. That’s what the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is for.

Disguised inside a thin, credit-card form factor, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, so you can follow its location, and it even houses a speaker so you can make it beep to help you find your wallet when it inevitably gets lost somewhere in your home. Read on for my review …
