I was hoping that Nothing OS 2.0 would be Android 14 based but with the launch of the Nothing Phone 2.0 the Nothing OS 2.0 is based on Android 13 which will be coming to the Nothing Phone 1 – it’ll be interesting to see whether the kernel is upgraded to a newer version but…

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…
