At this astronomical price it’s cheaper for me to rip out my legacy ZWave devices and replace them with HomeKit ones, than try to keep them on life support and deal with the idiosyncrasies of yet another hub (I already have Homebridge running on a Raspberry Pi, Philips Hue, Caseta, Ikea Tradfri, Aqara, a Sonoff Zigbee gateway… way too many tiny boxes that use up an Ethernet port and a power outlet, it’s maddening.

The system was released at a time when no vaccine was available as a privacy-respectful way to notify people they could have been exposed and should quarantine.
Saying that money and efforts should have been directed to vaccination campaigns when no vaccine was available is just flatly wrong on its face. This was a great early tool which combined with masks and distancing could have helped stop the virus, if irresponsible morons hadn’t turned it (and still are) into a political issue. The absurdity of it all is staggering. I could almost understand early reluctance to the vaccine, but how incredibly stupid does someone have to be to reject mask wearing in the middle of a pandemic? Mind boggling.

Meanwhile you’re in that hotel parking lot minding your own business and you get hit by a stray bullet. Hope all the happy crew is put away for years.

Spatial Audio is so frickin cool. I can’t imagine using anything else than the AirPods Pro. Incredible.

Gotta love all that detail and lighting along the fold in the pics for each phone.

Move along, nothing to see here…
