After having $10k+ of camera gear stolen, we set our to make the best AirTag mount for cameras. We wanted it to be very discreet and something you never needed to take off. After many design iterations, tool changes, testing exotic materials, drop testing with old camera bodies - we have TagVault Camera Mount for AirTag. Oh, and it is freaking gorgeous. We CNC machined an oversize tripod screw on our Swiss lathe. And the body is made from carbon fiber reinforced composite. T20 Security Torx driver included. Compatible with all Arca-Swiss geometry tripods. We use it everyday in our photo studio. It is compatible with most cameras including: Sony A7 series, A6 Series, Canon EOS & RF, Nikon DSLRs and more. It works on most smaller cameras, just check that the battery door is at least 32mm/1.25" from the center of tripod mounting point, so you can open the door when installed. It's the cheapest one-time insurance you can buy. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4gW8dzM
With the popularity of our TagVault Surface Mount for AirTag, we wanted another option that was just as durable, waterproof, and secure - but with a more minimal industrial design. So we designed TagVault Surface Aero. It will look great on your motorcycle and even more discrete. Mounts in seconds with strong 3M adhesive. IP68 waterproof, with a new patent pending hidden gasket. Sleek lines with an ultra low-profile It's the best one time insurance you can buy. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3EMsQ4c
We wanted to make a better braided steel AirTag mount - more compact, stronger, really well made. So we fired up our Swiss lathe and machined a custom oversized screw that keeps it secure and looks awesome. It is T10 Torx and comes with an included driver. There is an inner patent-pending gasket that keeps AirTag water tight. The braided steel loop is strong and has the perfect amount of flex. And the body is also more compact than any other braided steel AirTag mount, manufactured with an extremely strong and tough glass filled polycarbonate composite.

My camera bag with $10k of gear was stolen from my car. When I saw the broken glass and empty backseat, I immediately pulled up FindMy to track the thief - only to find that its last location was my office 3 months ago... because I hadn't changed the AirTag's battery. It was a terrible feeling on top of a worse one. That is why we designed TimeCapsule - it gives you a whopping decade of power so you don't have to remember to replace the battery annually. It's especially nice for folks like us with a lot of AirTags to manage. Just discard the AirTag's back plate and CR2032 coin cell battery, set AirTag on the contacts in TimeCapsule, add 2 AA batteries (we recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium), then screw her shut. Now you've got 14X more power capacity. It's also fully waterproof so it stays powered in any environment. And no expense spared construction. A fiber reinforced composite body with premium CNC machined screws. Great for long-term storage like an RV or a boat. And a must have for anything of high-value. It may be the most valuable product we've ever made. Also available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49MY4Dt
We wanted an ultra-secure AirTag case that could be mounted to anything. Easy to change AirTags battery. Waterproof. Robust. And discreet. So we designed TagVault Universal Mount for AirTag. It has mounting holes for screws, rivets, and slots for zip ties. Or just epoxy it down. IP69 waterproof It opens the same way TagVault Security mount does and the key is included. It is extremely tamper-proof and low-profile. It works great!

Guinness is one of those beers (specifically, a stout) that people take seriously and the Guinness brand has taken full advantage of that in their marketing. They even sell a glass designed specifically for enjoying their flagship creation, which has led to a trend that the company surely appreciates: “splitting the G.” But that’s difficult […] The post This Arduino device helps ‘split the G’ on a pint of Guinness appeared first on Arduino Blog.
AI is everywhere, but most websites are still managed manually by humans using content management systems like WordPress and Drupal. These systems provide means for tagging and categorizing content. But over time, these structures degrade. Without vigilance and maintenance, taxonomies become less useful and relevant over time. Users struggle to find stuff. Ambiguity creeps in. Search results become incomplete and unreliable. And as terms proliferate, the team struggles to maintain the site, making things worse. The site stops working as well as it could. Sales, engagement, and trust suffer. And the problem only gets worse over time. Eventually, the team embarks on a redesign. But hitting the reset button only fixes things for a while. Entropy is the nature of things. Systems tend toward disorder unless we invest in keeping them organized. But it’s hard: small teams have other priorities. They’re under pressure to publish quickly. Turnover is high. Not ideal conditions for consistent tagging. Many content teams don’t have governance processes for taxonomies. Folks create new terms on the fly, often without checking whether similar ones exist. But even when teams have the structures and processes needed to do it right, content and taxonomies themselves change over time as the org’s needs and contexts evolve. The result is taxonomy drift, the gradual misalignment of the system’s structures and content. It’s a classic “boiled frog” situation: since it happens slowly, teams don’t usually recognize it until symptoms emerge. By then, the problem is harder and more expensive to fix. Avoiding taxonomy drift calls for constant attention and manual tweaking, which can be overwhelming for resource-strapped teams. But there’s good news on the horizon: this is exactly the kind of gradual, large-scale, boring challenge where AIs can shine. I’ve worked on IA redesigns for content-heavy websites and have seen the effects of taxonomy drift firsthand. Often, one person is responsible for keeping the website organized, and they’re overwhelmed. After a redesign, they face three challenges: Implementing the new taxonomy on the older corpus. Learning to use the new taxonomy in their workflows. Adapting and evolving the taxonomy so it remains useful and consistent over time. AI is well-suited to tackling these challenges. LLMs excel at pattern matching and categorizing existing text at scale. Unlike humans, AIs don’t get overwhelmed or bored when categorizing thousands of items over and over again. And with predefined taxonomies, they’re not as prone to hallucinations. I’ve been experimenting with using AI to solve taxonomy drift, and the results are promising. I’m building a product to tackle this issue, and looking implement the approach in real-world scenarios.
