Albuquerque, New Mexico: home of green chiles, 300 days of sunshine, the International Balloon Fiesta... and achingly slow internet. Of the top 100 cities in the US, Albuquerque ranks 85th, according to data from Ookla. (Disclaimer: Ookla is owned by Ziff Davis, the same company that owns CNET.) Home internet was a two-horse race in Albuquerque for years: CenturyLink DSL and Xfinity cable. I spent decades on DSL, watching my internet speed tests march slowly up to a maximum of 20 megabits per se

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-09-13 04:00:00

Water damage is one of my biggest fears as a homeowner. With hardwood floors throughout my house, even a small leak could turn into a massive repair bill and a huge inconvenience. A slow drip from a sink can quickly become thousands of dollars in damage for your floors and cabinets. Thankfully, with a HomeKit-enabled flood sensor from FIBARO, you can catch leaks early and avoid a major headache. The FIBARO water leak sensor is one of my oldest HomeKit devices I am using, but it still works great

According to Matter Alpha, the tvOS 26 beta announced at WWDC this week adds Thread 1.4 to Apple TVs.

One UI 8 beta 2 fixes Samsung’s supersized widgets

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s first One UI 8 beta allowed larger widgets (4×4) on the home screen, but the feature had inconsistent functionality. The second beta version resolves these issues, making resizing to the full widget size reliable and smooth. One UI 8 may not feel like a big update over One UI 7, but it is a big update for your home screen widgets, quite literally.

We Love ‘The Goonies,’ but Something Irks Us All These Years Later

One of the many blessings/curses that comes with aging is a new perspective on things. Movies, for example. You can watch a movie a billion times growing up, learn to quote every line, buy posters and toys, and revel in how watching it makes you feel like a kid again. Then, you watch it a few years later and notice something you never noticed before. Something that didn’t matter when you were 10, 20, or 30. But at 40 or 50, you can’t quite get your head around it.

Internally at 9to5Mac, there have been a few conversations about the lack of releases in new HomeKit cameras in recent years.

The iPhone is done with home buttons — here’s why I’ll miss it

For the first time since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, Apple no longer sells a smartphone with a home button. The iPhone 16E announced yesterday removes it. The removal was long overdue, having been surpassed by all touchscreen controls many years ago. But while the home button’s time is over, it leaves behind an important legacy. The home button was crucial to the first iPhone, but it was also jarring; no other phone at that time had basically no buttons. It was both a gamble and a necessary inn
