Level Lock Pro is now shipping with Apple home key, Matter support, and more

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-12-10 00:00:00

Since Apple introduced home key, it has quickly become one of the most important features for smart locks. Basic HomeKit support just doesn’t cut it anymore. Unlocking your front door with just a tap from an iPhone or Apple Watch feels magical, and once you’ve experienced it, it’s hard to imagine going back to keys or even an app. Level was one of the first companies to embrace home key, and now it’s back with its most advanced product yet: the Level Lock Pro.

'Ten Martini' Proof Uses Number Theory to Explain Quantum Fractals

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant. It was a patchwork quilt, each square stitched out of distinct arguments. Moreover, the proofs only settled the conjecture as it was originally stated, which involved making simplifying assumptions about th

The dust has settled from the latest Made by Google event, and the Pixel 10 family is as good as ever. It builds on the hardware upgrades that Google introduced on the Pixel 9 series and packs more new AI-powered features than I could have dreamt when I first put my SIM in a Pixel device. And I, for one, cannot wait to move my SIM into yet another brand-new phone by Google — but not the one you might expect. There are reasons to go Pro… but not quite as many C.

Last month's Ikea's announcement of more than 20 new Matter-over-Thread devices felt like a much-needed breakthrough moment for the high-profile smart home standard. If Ikea—a brand with a broad, not necessarily tech-savvy customer base—is all-in on Matter, have we finally arrived at the smart home utopia that was first promised back in late 2019?

Synchronized demand is the moment a large cohort of clients acts almost together.

When $M$ clients align—after a cache expiry, at a cron boundary, or as a service returns from an outage—the bucketed arrival rate can exceed $H$ by large factors.
