HomeKit Weekly: ThorBolt X1 might be the best value home key lock with built-in Thread support

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-07-19 06:00:00

If you’re buying a HomeKit door lock in 2025 and it doesn’t support home key, keep moving. The tap to unlock experience with iPhone or Apple Watch is the feature that makes smart locks feel like a major upgrade over a physical key or even unlocking via the Home app. It’s fast, reliable, and once you get used to it, there’s no going back. The ThorBolt X1 checks all the boxes for a great HomeKit lock and brings a few nice surprises for under $150k. Some of my favorite gear Abode Home Security Sys

Sony’s new RX1R III camera looks awesome. Hardcore photo enthusiasts have wanted an updated version of its full-frame compact camera, the RX1, for nearly a decade. I’m not surprised it costs a whopping $5,100 (cameras and lenses have been trending more expensive), but what I do find surprising, and quite egregious, is that the RX1R III

Sony's 61MP RX1R III fixed-lens compact camera is finally here after a ten-year wait

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-27 02:27:07

Sony just surprised the photography world by unveiling the RX1R III, a fixed-lens 35mm full-frame compact camera. Coming nearly ten years after the RX1R II, it has a 61MP Exmor R sensor along with Sony's latest image processing technology that promises low noise and high dynamic range. Apart from all the new tech, the RX1R III is smaller and more streamlined than before and considerably lighter at 17 ounces than its main competition, Leica's Q3 and the Fujifilm GFX100RF. With that, it's designe

I May Have Found the Best Travel Camera

CNET's key takeaways Basically, it's Fujifilm's ultra-popular X100VI point-and-shoot camera Leans into the company's film simulation recipes by giving them their own dial for fast, direct access. Expensive, but not overpriced and capable of excellent 40-megapixel images and 6.2K-resolution video. While most people don't need a special camera for travel -- their phone will work just fine -- those of us into photography as a hobby are always on the lookout for cool new gear. To be fair, buying

This is the easiest drone I've ever flown - and it's not even close

ZDNET's key takeaways The Hoverair X1 Pro Max stands out with an eye-catching, unconventional design that sets it apart from typical drones. One of its standout capabilities is 8K video recording, offering stunning resolution for high-quality footage. However, its battery life leaves much to be desired, limiting how long you can fly before needing a recharge. $699 at Amazon I'll admit: before testing the Hoverair X1 Pro Max, I definitely had trepidation about the device.

X11's dying days mean you'll be forced to switch to Wayland

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-08-30 06:46:19

CorDesign / Getty Images Wayland is the Linux display server that has been in the slow, steady process of taking over X11 to deliver a more modern, robust, and secure GUI for Linux. Wayland offers better performance, better handling of complex GUIs, and even vastly improved security. Although Wayland has been around for quite some time, the problem has been that Linux distributions and desktops have been slow to change from the long-in-the-tooth X11. That changes now because one of the most p
