Action cameras have been around for some time now, with brands like GoPro and DJI scooping up the market share. But what happens when a company comes out of nowhere with a response to the action camera industry that finally offers a unique twist? This may be exactly what Looki is looking to achieve with its new Looki L1 AI-Equipped Lifelogging Camera. So what is a Looki L1? That makes for an excellent question!

The new change will be taking place on September 1st (2026). Tim has been with Apple since 1998, taking on the role of CEO in 2011, when Steve Jobs passed away.

There is a solution for just about everything when it comes to building out a smart home. You can automate lights, plugs, security, HVAC, entertainment, and so much more. But what about fire safety? Earlier in the year, we spoke with FireAvert about a new smart solution for exactly this, and now we have been testing one of these solutions out to see if it really is as useful as it sounds.

Tesla has been cracking down on users throughout Europe, the UK, and China who attempt to circumvent certain systems, such as FSD, with some users saying that they have been permanently banned from using FSD, preventing them from making use of the service on their account. Basically, users in countries where FSD is currently lacking approval for use have been using special devices that allow them to bypass restrictions within the software, allowing FSD to function where it shouldn’t. These devices basically trick the computer into thinking that the car is within the US, or similar functions. This unlocks FSD…
You likely heard by now about the big router ban put into place by the FCC, targeting foreign companies. Its goal is to strengthen national security and protect users from (potentially) less-regulated hardware that could (potentially) place users at risk. I lean into the word “potentially” only because security is hit or miss, but not always a miss. Now, it seems Netgear has become the first brand to get the green light from the FCC It’s all about cybersecurity, and a lot of it has been triggered by the continuous plague of foreign state-sponsored cyberattacks. Nepharious groups have been targeting…

SD cards continue to climb in capacities as demand and technology continue to evolve. With it comes new sky-high pricing (usually) and a lot of exciting chatter about what it could be used for. Just imagine, if your camera takes SD cards, how many high-res images or videos you could squeeze onto it before you run out of space (etc). With NVMe and other storage solutions inflating in price across the board as companies scramble to keep up with demand, it comes as no surprise that this one’s MSRP seems to have been affected the moment it launched. That being…
