Latest eero router update opens it to Apple’s Home app.

What you need to know

eero routers are now showing up in the Home app after latest firmware update.
Routers cannot be added at this point without a HomeKit code.
eero also hints at the feature in a post on reddit.

It appears that HomeKit router support may be hitting the scene soon, as the latest update to eero Wi-Fi routers is exposing the system to the Home app. The eero firmware update, version 3.18.0 was released earlier today, and while it doesn’t specifically mention HomeKit support, we can confirm that it is showing up for the latest generation eero Wi-Fi system, released late last year.

Unfortunately, while eero routers are showing up, they cannot be added to the Home at this time due to the lack of a HomeKit accessory code, and it is listed as being uncertified by Apple. However, the official release may be coming soon, as a developer from eero hints heavily at the feature in a reddit post from today covering th…

The Coronavirus is spreading and little is known about it.
The CDC still has not confirmed how it is spread.
There are things you can do to clean your phone … just in case.

You probably can’t get this strain of the virus from your phone, but your phone is probably pretty gross anyway.

We’re hearing a lot about the recently-discovered Coronavirus in China. The respiratory virus that causes pneumonia was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, but has since been confirmed in a few states in the U.S. and around the world.

The public is still largely in the dark about how the 2019 Novel Coronavirus — AKA: 2019-nCoV — got its start, how it’s transmitted, and the best way to treat it. Originally, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that it was an animal-to-human transmission, but has since updated its report after confirmed cases of human-to-human transmission.

At this time, the CDC is saying this strain of the Coronavir…

Best Answer: Both have upsides and downsides, depending on how you plan to use it. Curved monitors have fewer reflections and are more immersive. On the other hand, flat monitors are less expensive and are better for people who want multiple screens.

Solid flat: LG 34UM69G-B ($330 at Amazon)

The one you want depends on how you intend to use it

Whether you’re a gamer, a digital artist, an engineer, or simply a tech enthusiast, both flat screens and curved screens have a place for you. You’ll have to consider what your personal preferences are when deciding between them.

If you’re like me and prefer to have multiple screens to work on, you’ll probably want to go with the flat screen. However, if you mainly use your computer to work on art or play video games, you might bet more satisfaction from a curved monitor’s immersive display. To compare the two, we’re looking at what each monitor does best.

It’s pretty much illegal anywhere you go to hold onto your phone while you drive, so your best bet is to get a great car mount. But specific mounts can be pretty tedious, and a great magnetic mount makes life so much easier when you’re getting in and out of the car. These are the best magnetic car mounts for your phone!

Important note: If your phone supports wireless charging, you’ll have to be careful where you place the metal disc so as not to interfere with the coils. Figure out where the charging coils are and stick the metal where they’re not. Or better yet, put the metal between your phone and a case. Then you can take it out whenever you want to charge up wirelessly.
