The Iota gateway has a built-in 1080-pixel camera, which you can stream through the Home app. It has two-way voice and support for Z-Wave, Zigbee, Alexa and Google Home, making it one of the most flexible smart-home hubs to date.

HomeKit is available on the Iota through an update that’s rolling out today, and Abode says the Gen 1 and Gen 2 security systems will add HomeKit compatibility “in the near future.”

Siri can now play YouTube Music, meaning you’ll no longer have to choose between Apple Music or Spotify to listen through the Apple assistant. The change was made possible by iOS 13, and it works with Apple CarPlay, so you’ll get hands-free control of YouTube Music as you drive.

Initially, NVIDIA said it would test monitors for a baseline VRR experience, that is, no blanking, pulsing, flickering or ghosting. Now, it claims 273 of the monitors it tested lacked the desired VRR range, meaning gamers were unlikely to get the benefits of the GeForce graphic cards. Another 202 failed due to poor image quality, like flickering and blanking. Apparently 55 percent of the monitors NVIDIA tested had variable refresh rates below 75 Hz, so for many games with high frame rates, VRR never activated.

Still, the updated list of “G-Sync Compatible” monitors is more than double what it first was. You now have more to choose from, including monitors from Acer, Agon, Asus, Benq, HP, Dell and LG. As we noted before, a number of the options were previously only FreeSync certified. Of course, NVIDIA notes that it’s introducing its own new and improved gaming monitors at Computex 2019. The company says it will continue testing newly-released adaptive sync monitors and will add those that pass to its G-Sync Compatible list.
