Apple is working on a Tile-like Bluetooth tracking device that's designed to be attached to items like keys and wallets for tracking purposes, letting you find them right in the Find My app.
OWC's Thunderbolt 3 Pro Dock is targeted at professional users and includes several features not commonly found on other docks such as an eSATA port and CFast and SD card readers. The dock also includes a 10 gigabit Ethernet port, three USB 3.1 ports, a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports to allow for daisy chaining, and a DisplayPort 1.2 port. There's also a locking power connection to help ensure the dock doesn't come unplugged if it's moved during use.
For pro users who need some of the more specialized features included in the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Pro Dock, this might be a good option, as we've been impressed with the company's previous dock offerings. It does, however, only offer 60 watts of charging power, so if you've got a 15-inch MacBook Pro you likely want to use your regular power adapter and not rely on the dock to power your Mac.
The dock also includes a switch to turn off the internal fan if you need a quiet environment, although OWC warns this should only be done for short periods of time to limit the risk of overheating.

For gods sake, the term ‘pro’ is become the go-to for everybody. Next thing I know I’ll be shopping at Target for bedding and will have to decide between the standard and ‘pro’ sheets.
We’re gonna look back at these days and laugh about the overuse of ‘pro’ just like we laugh about the goofy clothes and hairstyles we wore in the 80’s
Cal-Digit is really my go to right now. I have their original TB1 Dock and a Thunderbolt 3 mini. This is an Akitio rebadged for OWC and I think it’s fine, but the 60w charging isn’t adequate. The 10GbE is nice if you need it. CFast is really edge case for most of us.
gotta agree. At this price point it needs 85w to support the 15”. I never thought I’d be one that needed 85w, but my previous dell dock couldn’t keep up with me running office apps.. went to the CalDigit TS3, havent had an issue since.

Apple paid out $75,000 to a hacker for identifying multiple zero-day vulnerabilities in its software, some of which could be used to hijack the camera on a MacBook or an iPhone, according to Forbes.

The popular video conferencing company Zoom has been under scrutiny over the past few days for the method used to install the Mac version of its app, which essentially abused a "preflight" compatibility check to install the app without the user needing to explicitly grant installation permission, as highlighted by developer Felix Seele earlier this week.

CalDigit TS3+ is still the king of docks. And it's always 0db because it's passively cooled lol
