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!

We’re excited to announce that the Arduino team is returning to Amsterdam as an ecosystem partner at The Things Conference 2025, the world’s leading LoRaWAN event, taking place September 23rd-24th. This year, we’re bringing more tech, more insights, and more real-world use cases than ever – to give you all the tools you need to future-proof […] The post The Things Conference 2025: shape the future of IoT with Arduino! appeared first on Arduino Blog.
Okay, I have to be doing something astronomically stupid, right? This should be working? I’m playing around with an App Clip and want to just run it on the device as a test, but no matter how I set things up nothing ever works. If you see what I’m doing wrong let me know and I’ll update this, and hopefully we can save someone else in the future a few hours of banging their head! Xcode App Clips require some setup in App Store Connect, so Apple provides a way when you’re just testing things to side step all that: App Clip Local Experiences I create a new sample project called IceCreamStore, which has the bundle ID com.christianselig.IceCreamStore. I then go to File > New > Target… > App Clip. I choose the Product Name “IceCreamClip”, and it automatically gets the bundle ID com.christianselig.IceCreamStore.Clip. I run both the main target and the app clip target on my iOS 18.6 phone and everything shows up perfectly, so let’s go onto actually configuring the Local Experience. Local Experience setup I go to Settings.app > Developer > App Clips Testing > Local Experiences > Register Local Experience, and then input the following details: URL Prefix: https://boop.com/beep/ Bundle ID: com.christianselig.IceCreamStore.Clip (note thne Apple guide above says to use the Clip’s bundle ID, but I have tried both) Title: Test1 Subtitle: Test2 Action: Open Upon saving, I then send myself a link to https://boop.com/beep/123 in iMessage, and upon tapping on it… nothing, it just tries to open that URL in Safari rather than in an App Clip (as it presumably should?). Same thing if I paste the URL into Safari’s address bar directly. Help What’s the deal here, what am I doing wrong? Is my App Store Connect account conspiring against me? I’ve tried on multiple iPhones on both iOS 18 and 26, and the incredible Matt Heaney (wrangler of App Clips) even kindly spent a bunch of time also pulling his hair out over this. We even tried to see if my devices were somehow banned from using App Clips, but nope, production apps using App Clips work fine! If you figure this out you would be my favorite person. 😛
Being chronically late to meetings sucks. Not only is it very rude, but you’re signalling that you don’t value your coworkers’ time. However, I’ve picked up a technique that works unreasonably well within a team.1 If you are late to the first meeting of the day three times within a quarter, then you will have to make pancakes for the whole team. Let’s say that you have a daily stand-up taking place at 10:00. Arriving at 10:00:59: completely OK. Arriving at 10:01:00: You’re one step closer to making pancakes! Keep in mind that you may hit some obstacles when implementing this rule, so feel free to adjust it. When proposing this idea in my current team, I learned that the office does not offer pancake-making facilities. The pancakes can be substituted for other types of cake or bringing in something else, as long as the team gives prior approval of that modification. The pancake strikes can also be pooled together and spent with your teammates if they wish to do so. If you’re struggling with your team being late to your daily meeting(s), then go ahead and add this rule to the working agreement. You do have a working agreement set up, right? Right? And a free security tech tip to close out: if you see an unlocked work laptop at the office, open your internal chat application of choice on it and try posting to a public channel that you’ll be bringing cake/beers/candy to the office. Works wonders for enforcing the habit of locking your laptop up when leaving the desk! to be fair, the sample size is two, but it has worked out really well in both! ↩︎
In the worlds of programming and robotics, turtles are entities — either virtual or physical robots— that follow commands to move around a 2D plane. Those are usually very simple commands, such as “move forward 10 units” or “rotate 90 degrees clockwise,” and they help people learn some programming fundamentals (like Logo in the ’80s!)
