Pictures: Sovereign 100 meter superyacht comes with custom limo

We’ve all been there before, we go to our local yacht-dealership, bored with the blasé vessels on display. “How in the world am I expected to spend this spare $150 million that is just burning though my wallet!” you exclaim with arms outstretched to the heavens. Well your frustrations will no longer trouble you as the answer to your prayers has arrived in the form of the Sovereign 100 meter long superyacht.

The ambitious folks over at Gray Design say they have designed the Sovereign for royalty, and it shows. Taking cues from automotive design, the Sovereign exhibits a deafening sense of elegance, unbridled luxury, and modernity with a features list as long as a royal title.

The first thing you noticed of the Sovereign is its sleek design with only three decks over the entire length of the yacht. A wind turbine coupled with solar panels covering the roof supplies clean energy  for lighting systems and reserve power. And while this chariot of the seas looks more akin to something out of a James Bond film,  the effort to provide the vessel with a source of renewable energy is commendable. Not to be outdone by other luxury yachts, the Sovereign also boasts an infinity pool with a reinforced glass helipad at the center, guest suites for up to 10 people, and a luxurious owner’s suite. Also included is a cinema, a nightclub, a gym, and a library. And last bust not least, the design for the Sovereign comes with an optional custom limo that parks in the garage of the yacht, no sense in traveling in style on the high seas if you can’t do the same once you have struck land.

Ultraloq showcases the first-ever ultra-wideband smart lock at CES 2025
Bolt Mission UWB + NFC installed on a white door.

Ultraloq showed off two smart locks at CES 2025 -- one of which is the first smart lock to ever offer ultra-wideband (UWB) support. The Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB + NFC uses UWB technology to unlock automatically as you approach your front door. Similar functionality already exists on other smart locks, but UWB should allow the Ultraloq Bolt Mission to be more accurate than the competition.

The Bolt Mission uses technology similar to digital car keys, and Ultraloq says it can track the keyholder’s phone location with “centimeter-level” accuracy. As your phone gets closer to the front door, the Bolt Mission can be programmed to automatically unlock, giving you a hands-free way to get inside. Better yet, because the smart lock can detect both your distance and direction from the front door, it should prevent you from accidentally unlocking the smart lock while inside your home.

Ulticam shows off three AI-powered security cameras at CES 2025

Ulticam, the new security camera brand of Xthings, revealed a lineup of three AI-powered cameras at CES 2025. The Ulticam IQ, Ulticam IQ Floodlight, and Ulticam Dot offer not just cool AI capabilities, but also free seven-day cloud storage -- which could make them a solid choice for value-minded shoppers leery about signing up for monthly storage plans.

The Ulticam IQ and IQ Floodlight are the main attractions, as they're packed with features that should pose solid competition for the best smart security cameras from Arlo, Nest, and Ring. The duo uses edge AI to quickly identify people, vehicles, and packages without needing to upload the video for server-side processing. This onboard processing should result in faster performance -- it’s also great for privacy and security, as your footage doesn’t have to leave your device.

Home Depot expands Hubspace smart home lineup at CES 2025

Hubspace, Home Depot’s smart home platform, has seen impressive growth over the past few years, and that growth continued at CES 2025. Three new gadgets were revealed at the event, including a wireless power switch to control Hubspace products, a portable air conditioner, and a window-mounted air conditioner. All three are unique additions to the catalog -- and since there’s not much like them on the market, they should quickly become popular options in their respective niches.

The Hubspace Remote Switch is arguably the most useful of the three gadgets. Designed to look like a light switch, but with a removable remote controller, it works with select Hubspace light bulbs, fixtures, plugs, power sockets, surge protectors, and more. You’ll get standard on and off functions, plus access to brightness controls. Its sleek looks and versatility should make it a great choice for shoppers seeking an entry-level smart switch.
