If your desk (or nightstand) is a chaotic mess of charging cables and devices all vying to be charged, you might want to check out UGREEN’s new Uno series.

Over the years, enterprises have increasingly leveraged Apple’s Identity Provider (IdP) integration for the macOS login window to create a better experience for employees while simultaneously enhancing security. If you had told me ten years ago that another company could ‘take over’ the macOS login window, I would have said that pigs must be flying. In the enterprise, identity is everything. The rise of SaaS (Software as a Service) tools has only amplified the need for a robust and unified identity system.

Sometimes, a package of products provides a simple way to accomplish a goal. The Eytueo Smart Table Lamp is great for Apple fans as it includes a USB-A and USB-C port on the back and a HomeKit-compatible bulb—making it a great gift idea for an Apple fanatic in your life.

One day, we’ll live in a utopia where we finally have one cable for everything. We’re so close to USB-C, but we’re not there yet. Until then, This cable from Hyper is coming that IT teams should look to deploy with every Mac as the perfect travel charger.

HomeKit has become a powerful platform, with Apple consistently enhancing its features while staying true to its privacy-first approach. They’ve even contributed to the Matter standard, expanding what the Home app can do. But there’s a big problem we need to address: HomeKit Secure Video. Vendors are largely ignoring it, and while this isn’t entirely Apple’s fault, it’s a problem they need to solve.

In its latest addition to its growing product portfolio, SwitchBot is launching two new products this week: the new SwitchBot Meter Pro and the SwitchBot Meter Pro (CO2 Monitor).

SwitchBot has officially launched its latest Matter-enabled smart home product, the SwitchBot Evaporative Humidifier (Auto-refill). This new device aims to simplify home humidification by combining advanced technology with cold evaporation, offering a clean and efficient solution for enhancing indoor air quality. When paired with the SwitchBot Hub 2, it also supports Matter.

When it comes to MagSafe charging, the AMEGAT MagFusion Aura offers distinct advantages over standard MagSafe chargers. One key feature is its flexibility in cable choice. Unlike standard MagSafe chargers, which come with a fixed cable, the AMEGAT allows you to use any USB-C cable, allowing you to choose the perfect length. No more struggling with short cables or dealing with unnecessary clutter from overly long ones.

SwitchBot has just made it easier to keep track of your wallet with its new Wallet Finder Card. It is fully integrated with Apple’s Find My network and can be used in smart homes with SwitchBot’s Matter-enabled lock. Thus, it looks to be a great device that solves two problems with one product.

One reason I might consider upgrading to the new fourth-generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat is its built-in Matter support. In practice, however, the Matter integration appears to be pretty lackluster.
