If you’re assembling a HomeKit home, First Alert’s Onelink Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm is currently the best smoke detector to purchase. As a smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, Onelink sends you alerts when triggered while you’re away and HomeKit support turns Onelink into a trigger for automation. Check out our hands-on review below: Replacing an old smoke detector with Onelink only takes a few steps. Flip the breaker to the power, twist off and unplug the old alarm, unscrew the old alarm’s bracket, screw on the new bracket, choose from one of three Onelink cable adapters, twist the new alarm in place, and switch the breaker back on....

As regular readers will know, I’ve become a complete convert to the Apple Watch. But the Watch isn’t for everyone: it’s relatively expensive, fairly chunky and for most users has one-day battery-life. I’ve been trying the Fitbit Alta for the past week, and while I’ll personally be sticking to my Apple Watch, I do think it could be a decent option for those with more limited needs and/or budgets …...

One popular saying in basketball is that you can’t teach height. Short players can work on fundamentals, but once they’ve finished growing, they can never grow taller. However, basketball fundamentals can be improved and enhanced over time. Unlike height, fundamentals can be acquired through hard work. The HomePod is similar in that a strong hardware foundation has been laid at the outset. You can’t go back and retrofit it with better internals, so Apple made sure that the HomePod had the hardware to sound superb out of the gate....

It’s usually me making the case for new smart home gadgets, but when it came to a robot vacuum cleaner, it was my partner, Steph, who suggested it. Unusually hot weather in London causing our cats to moult more than usual may have been the triggering event! I’d looked at them when they first came out, and wasn’t that impressed by what I saw and read. Early models tended to wander randomly about the home, didn’t cope well with obstacles, and their battery-powered vacuum motors weren’t very powerful....

Riverdale continues down its subversive, mysterious, American teen angst-y reimagining of the Archie Comics universe, and the deeper we get into the details, the more scandalous it becomes. Episode 4, “The Last Picture Show,” doesn’t disappoint in any of the previous categories by a long shot – in fact, things get even weirder and more bizarre. After Archie can’t find a way to lie properly to his best friend Betty, she and Veronica decide to do some sleuthing of their own....

The CW has ordered the Riverdale spinoff Katy Keene and a new Nancy Drew TV show. In the years since The CW launched in 2006, the network has come to specialize in DC superhero TV shows and/or series geared towards young adult viewers. Among their current offerings are, of course, the popular Arrowverse TV shows, the standalone Black Lightning comic book adaptation, and cult series like iZombie, Jane the Virgin, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend....

Locate and Isolate the Embedded Decrypted Executable Once the VAs of the necessary APIs are stored, we are back to the next instruction after the CALL at address 004085CD that we mentioned earlier. The piece of code that follows is also of great interest: 004085D2 64A1 30000000 MOV EAX, DWORD PTR FS:[30] ß get address of PEB 004085D8 8B40 08 MOV EAX, DWORD PTR DS:[EAX+8] ß get self image base from PEB (main module) 004085DB 8983 38153A00 MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+3A1538], EAX ß store self image base 004085E1 8BBB 38153A00 MOV EDI, DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+3A1538] ß move self image base to EDI 004085E7 03BB 60153A00 ADD EDI, DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+3A1560] ß add EDI a constant (AE000) The following five instructions are another example of obfuscation....

The new USB-C port on Apple’s new 12-inch MacBook (review) is both a gift and a curse. If you frequently connect legacy USB peripherals to your notebook, then you’ll have to deal with using an adapter between your old gear and your new laptop each time (and should possibly consider another machine for now). The move from Apple’s proprietary MagSafe 2 connection to the new industry standard USB Type C port for charging, however, opens up the door to third-party power adapters and portable battery packs....

The robot vacuum cleaner market is a pretty crowded one these days, so the Roborock S5 attempts to stand out by going one better: it doesn’t just vacuum your floors, it also mops them. I was already sold on the concept of robot vacuum cleaners, having been seriously impressed by the Neato Botvac D7 Connected which I reviewed last year. We have it set on a schedule to vacuum the apartment at 8am every weekday, and it does a great job....

When it comes to multi-room audio solutions, Sonos is about as ubiquitous as it gets, but German audio manufacturer Raumfeld is looking to get into the action with its own set of wireless speakers. I’m still putting the Stereo Cubes to the test, but have used the One M for long enough that I feel comfortable speaking about its pluses and minuses. If you subscribe to one of the unit’s supported streaming services, and are aware of its shortcomings, then the One M can be an excellent pick....

While I have reviewed several iPad cases since the device’s initial release in 2010, I’ve never used an iPad case long-term. I have reviewed several fantastic, protective cases that I could recommend to iPad users, but I’ve never used an iPad case long-term because it’s simply my preference to use the iPad without a case. Enter Twelve South’s new BookBook iPad case: that preference has changed. The new BookBook is unlike any case, but it protects your iPad and props it up via a book-like accessory....

To patch iMovie ’09 so that it will run on a PowerPC G4, Control-click on iMovie and pick Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. In the new window that appears, navigate into Contents » MacOS. Now you’ll need a hex editor such as the free HexEdit; once you have that, edit the file iMovie in the MacOS folder. Use the File » Go To Address function in HexEdit to go to the following addresses, and replace each existing entry at those addresses (7C 08 02 A6) with 4E 80 00 20....

Many of us keep files in the cloud using services like Dropbox. While Dropbox has a decent iPhone app, there are quite a few features that it lacks. Boxie is an intuitive and beautiful new Dropbox client that aims to alleviate some of those issues. From the ability to view any file’s previous revisions and restore deleted files to the simple drag-and-drop file manager, Boxie has a ton of advantages over the official Dropbox app....

Fantastical’s ability to parse natural language input and create detailed appointment entries on your calendar has always been the primary reason to use it instead of or in addition to Apple’s own Calendar app on the Mac. Apple Calendar has picked up some language parsing smarts in recent updates, too, but it still doesn’t match Fantastical’s control and real-time appointment preview. Still, I say in addition to because Fantastical for Mac has lived in the menu bar next to your clock, WiFi status, and other utilities where you can quickly access it for reference or adding an appointment from anywhere in the OS....

By now, Nest’s story is quite well known: founder Tony Fadell left Apple after co-inventing the original iPod, founding Nest to re-imagine neglected home devices with modern designs and features. Nest started with the Nest Learning Thermostat, which made HVAC programming and remote management easy — really for the first time — then released the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, and after acquiring Dropcam, the Nest Cam home security camera....

Twelve South is known for making some of the best Apple accessories available and this past week I’ve been using their new MagicBridge which joins Apple’s Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad 2 together. Read on for a hands-on review. Since 2011 I’ve been using MagicBridge’s predecessor, MagicWand and I’m happy to say MagicBridge is a slick improvement in a few different ways. I really enjoy the updated trackpad on the 2016 MacBook Pro with its large size and Force Click feature....

Marketers have never had this amount of marketplace to work with…or social noise to wade through. While it opens the door to seemingly endless opportunities, it’s both a blessing and a hurdle. But we’re living front and center in the “experience economy.” A term surfaced in 1998 by Harvard Business Review, and now super relevant in today’s socially-driven society. When authors Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore initially introduced the concept of experience economy, they spoke of outsourcing experiences, like birthdays at Chuck E....

Everyone has a favorite Riverdale character they wish they could hang out with all the time. Some of us relish the idea of solving mysteries with Betty and Jughead. Others would rather be plotting fabulous schemes with Cheryl at Thistlehouse. Why do we love the Riverdale teens so much? Because they’re fresh takes on familiar characters we all grew up with. Many of us also grew up with Harry Potter. Raise your hand if you ever spent a recess speculating which Hogwarts house you’d be sorted into, should you get one of those coveted telegrams....

The newest trailer for Dolittle sees Robert Downey Jr. fighting a dragon. Directed by Stephen Gaghan, Dolittle is the latest film adaptation of the popular series of Dr. Dolittle books written by Hugh Lofting beginning in the 1920s. The most famous of these adaptations was of course the 1967 movie starring Rex Harrison, though there have been other attempts to translate the stories into various media, including a series of films that began with 1998’s Dr....
