It’s your home’s first line of defense, and now, your door lock has its own defense system. Meet the Amadas Smart Lock, branded as a “truly user-centric security solution.”

The latest addition to the ever-growing list of smart home appliances, the Amadas system is a connected lever lock constructed of stainless steel, but more importantly, outfitted with emergency recharge, keyless entry, and AES encryption security functions.

That’s right — you don’t need a key to get past a door equipped with the Amadas. Rather, you need to input a PIN, either directly on the lock or on your smartphone. Promising to be easy to install (all your need is a screwdriver) and intuitive to use, the Amadas may just be the way to ensure that you never lock yourself out of your home again.

The battery-operated system promises to work no matter what. Most of the time, you should be able to gain entrance simply by punching in the correct numbers on your lock. But if the batteries are dead, there’s a simple solution – just pull out your phone, shine the flashlight on the solar panel, and recharge the system in under 20 seconds. Once you’re in, Amadas will re-lock itself. You can even set up an auto-lock function that allows this smart home device to recognize your phone within a certain radius, so all you need to do is unlock your phone to unlock your door.

And if you need to grant someone else one-time access or eKeys, Amadas can take care of that for you, too. Exiting through a door protected by Amadas should be a breeze as well — as the lock’s Kickstarter campaign notes, “A simplified exit can be as crucial to a door lock as an easy entrance. Amadas’ lever lock design allows for single-motion egress in case of an emergency.”

Thus far, 75 backers have pledged nearly $16,000 to bring the Amadas to market, and if you’re looking to get your hands on one of these locks yourself, they’re currently selling at the early bird price of $189.

You’ll have to imagine how fun the new OnePlus Nord 2 x Pac-Man phone looks

OnePlus is up to its old promotional tricks again. It has announced a collaboration between it and the ever-popular Pac-Man video game franchise, resulting in the OnePlus Nord 2 x Pac-Man Edition smartphone. OnePlus’ marketing department is building anticipation in a frustrating way by telling us how we can win one of the new phones and promising early access codes to the online store if we’re unsuccessful, but not actually showing us the phone at all yet.

You’ll have to pay extra for the new MacBook Pro’s fast charging feature
New 2021 Macbook Pro brings back magsafe charging.

Apple finally introduced its redesigned MacBook Pro line that brought many features that professionals and prosumers alike will definitely enjoy. One of those features is ability to get at least 50% charge after only 30 minutes of fast charging. However, the catch is that the ability to fast charge comes at an additional cost.

The base model 14-inch MacBook Pro ships with the 67W USB-C adapter. The problem is that it isn't enough to actually fast charge the base model. To take advantage of Apple's impressive fast charging, buyers must pay an extra $20 for the 96W USB-C power adapter. While $20 doesn't seem like much (especially if you're paying $2,000 or more for a laptop), it's disappointing that one of the marquee features of the new MacBook Pro is still an extra charge.

If there's one smart lock feature that stands out -- aside from the smarts -- it's the size. Most smart locks are large and bulky, even if they do have nice designs. Level aims to change that with the newly announced Level Lock, the smallest smart lock ever made. It's the next iteration of the company's first model, the Level Bolt smart lock that came out in 2019.

The Level Lock takes everything about that disruptive lock and miniaturizes the components, all while still retaining the look of your standard lock. It manages this smaller size by hiding the majority of the necessary technology inside the door. In a way, this adds extra security. It also hides the fact that you own a smart lock while keeping aesthetics in mind. The Level Lock is available in matte black, satin nickel, satin chrome, and polished brass.
