The Home app is a great place to configure your smart home, but it can be slow to control. The tab structure and room hierarchy make sense when you’re setting things up, but they add steps to everything you want to do fifty times a day. Home Widget builds the control panel that Apple didn’t.

The Pioneer brand is one I’ve trusted for car accessories since Y2K was a concern. I loved their audio gear in my younger days. Pioneer’s SDA-SC600 aims to bring that kind of trusted quality to a MagSafe car mount, bringing Qi2 wireless charging and a built-in fan.

The SSO tax might be the most backward pricing model in enterprise software. Single sign-on should be required for sign-up, yet SaaS vendors routinely lock it behind their most expensive tiers. It should be the opposite. You should have to pay more not to have SSO. The result is entirely predictable: companies skip it, weak passwords fill the gap, and hackers thank everyone involved. I think there’s a real opportunity here for Apple, and it starts with an acquisition.

Hands-free smart lock unlocks/entry has always been a bit ahead, marketing-wise, compared to what the technology offers. Location-based auto-unlocks work until they fail for no specific reason, and using a key seems much easier. ULTRALOQ’s new Bolt Mission takes a different approach than most smart locks as its using ultra-wideband to detect when you are approaching the door, vs just tracking your location via GPS.

The weather is turning cooler, and it’s time for camping and football tailgates. BLAVOR’s 20000mAh Solar Power Bank is built for this time of year. It has four built-in cables so you can leave your bag at home, a solar panel for recharging, and a wireless pad on top for your iPhone and Apple Watch. Let’s take a look at it.

There was a post on X going viral a few weeks ago about password management. The password keeper book is more secure than most people want to admit. As the user said: Reminder that it is quite difficult to hack a piece of paper. Nobody is gonna zero day a book on a shelf in your house, and if they are somehow motivated enough to steal it, you have bigger things to worry about then your facebook password leaking…

With that being said, I still believe a properly implemented password management tool is one of the best security measures you can deploy in your organization. Dashlane is rolling out a new solution to help better secure credentials in the enterprise.

Firmware updates have been the weakest link for a decade with smart homes. Every sensor, light bulb, and smart lock in your house runs software that should be updated regularly. This is on top of even if they have software updates. Homey just announced a fix for a big piece of that, and the way it handles Matter devices is the part that Apple Home users should take note of.

One of the biggest challenges Apple admins face today is managing AI use across apps, services, and more. Addigy is aiming to solve that problem with its Intelligence Suite, announced today, which brings a number of new tools and controls for IT teams to strengthen compliance while also unlocking AI tools in an IT-approved way.

I’ve been on a spree of trying out new MagSafe wallets that look more like traditional wallets. Vinich’s MagSafe wallet is the latest one I’ve tried. It comes in 15+ colors, looks like a traditional foldable wallet built to sit on the back of a leather iPhone case without clashing with it. It’s designed to look more like an extension of your iPhone case.

For my entire IT career, software updates have operated on a predictable schedule. IT administrators have been conditioned to build workflows around quarterly point releases or monthly patching cycles (Patch Tuesday). However, as AI tools become very proficient at automatically discovering software vulnerabilities, threat actors are moving faster than ever before. With that being said, I very much miss 18th-month macOS/OS X releases.

We are rapidly entering an era in which software updates will look less like traditional operating system updates and more like continuous cloud updates. To survive this shift, IT teams must understand the three prongs of modern patch management.

Water damage is one of those problems where a single sensor can save you a major repair bill on your floors, cabinets, etc. Leak sensors have been among the best values in the smart home for years, and Shelly’s new Flood S Gen4 makes it even easier to get started. It’s under $30, Matter-certified, and works with Apple Home out of the box.

Apple recently confirmed it has capped the number of open vulnerability reports that researchers can submit through its portal, with a 30-day cool-down period once you hit that cap. The reason is that a surge in AI-generated bug reports is flooding the review pipeline. I understand the instinct, but I think it’s the wrong response at exactly the wrong moment.

My door has had a smart lock on it for 5-6 years, and I’ve tried plenty of options. The ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint is a great option for almost anyone thanks to its Apple Home integration, built-in Wi-Fi, and plenty of ways to lock and unlock your door. Whether you’re looking for fingerprint ID unlock or a simple PIN, this lock has almost everything.

The dream for your Apple gear while traveling is one thing, not a collection of cables and wall adapters. There are plenty of options for that, but often they are bulky. Anker’s Prime Qi2 25W Foldable 3-in-1 Wireless Charger aims to address that. It folds flat, weighs about as much as an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and charges your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.

Virtualization on macOS has become rock-solid in the Apple Silicon era. Parallels Desktop 27 pushes that further with a new Metal-based graphics driver, OpenGL 4.3 support for Windows virtual machines on Apple silicon, faster local AI workloads, and a host of enterprise features aimed at IT teams, helping them manage and deploy Windows on macOS. Here’s my look at what’s new after spending some time with it.
