  • I also want to point out that a lot of these games purposefully misclassify themselves in the AppStore. Meaning if you are a parent and you say "I want my kid to have 1-2 hours of game time, but all research tools are allowed all the time" Some games will report themselves as "Information and Reading" to get around settings. I find oftentimes the more garbagey the game the more likely it will do that.

  • My previous house was smart down to nearly every light being RGB Hue. For movie nights it kicked ass to be able to sync the lights in my living room / kitchen to the movie.

    The challenge in IoT is the "I". Many companies make cheap products that REQUIRE internet to work and are not going to work longer than a decade in most cases.

    When I was designing that house I had made it a point to not purchase any device that was not Zigbee, Z-Wave or Natively compatible with HomeKit which led to a very robust setup that would continue to function even when the internet was down.

    If you are dabbling I recommend making the same decision even if you plan to use GoogleHome or Alexa. The HomeKit compatible things usually cost more for a reason.

  • Blunt wraps are what these are mainly targeting I imagine (Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, White Owls)... BUT Acid cigars are pretty nice and the brand I always point out. They used to advertise in cigar magazines back when I would read them and would feature interesting rolling methods that leaned in to the name. (Cheaper end as far as cigars go)
