Ubiquiti has released two updates, the first being a UnifiOS update for my UDM which updates it from 3.0.20 to 3.1.15 and firmware for the Unifi AP AC HD has been updated from 6.5.28 to 6.5.62. Both the UDM and the access point have been rock solid since the update but keeping in mind I keep a pretty basic network setup so I probably avoid many of the headaches others face due to the simple network design. The great part about the recent builds of UnifiOS has been unifying UnifiOS versions so that all devices are on the same version number so when 3.1.15 was released for UDM it was also released for all the other devices that rely on UnifiOS as well such as the Unifi Router, UDM Pro, UDM SE etc. so that there is a consistent experience across the product range.

A bit of a background regarding using Ubiquiti, I started using Ubiquiti equipment years ago because for a long time I just put up with bad performance and reliability from consumer grade routers then to make matters worse I would come home from work and want things to just work only to find I ended up wasting 15-20 minutes trying to work out why I couldn’t stream YouTube without constant pauses.

Safari Technology Preview 175 (link) and with that I’m sure once they get to run the next Interoperability tests (link) that we’ll get to see the gap close in terms of compatibility and open standards compliance. Safari 17 will appear in macOS 14 however it’ll be interesting to see how things will develop post release in terms of new functionality. Maybe the European Union’s Digital Markets Act has put a rocket until Apple to allocate more resources to Webkit because what the European Union’s Digital Markets Act would allow is the side loading of non-Webkit based browsers to use their own ‘engine’ instead of merely being a branded front end on top of the Webkit engine.
