OnePlus accidentally mentions unannounced Nord 2 on its site

 

No, there is no OnePlus Nord 2 yet, but it looks like that announcement might happen soon. OnePlus accidentally mentioned the Nord 2 in an FAQ for the company's new partnership with the Google Stadia gaming service. The company is running a new promo where newly purchased OnePlus devices come with a Stadia Premiere Edition bundle. The unannounced Nord 2 was included in the list of devices supporting the promotion. It has since been taken out. But the promo is running until September 30, so we're thinking the Nord 2 will be announced before then.

Amazon's Eero 6 routers get Apple HomeKit support

Amazon has released a new firmware update for its Eero 6 routers that adds support for Apple's HomeKit. Older Eero routers support the smart home platform, so it isn't surprising that this latest line gets them, too. What this feature brings is the ability to firewall each of your HomeKit devices. When you do so, this ensures your smart home devices, like this router, will only communicate with devices in the same WiFi network, and it only connects to the manufacturer's servers for software updates. It's extra security for your smart home devices.
