A few months ago Apple stopped releasing iOS 18 updates for devices that support iOS 26. But I knew if I waited it out they’d be forced to issue security updates eventually. 😼 Be warned though that this update re-enables automatic updates!

Yeah I kinda suspect they won't fit side-by-side. Tapo could work but would need to daisy chain it to another extension lead. I'm trying to plug 16 things into a double wall socket and want about 5 of them to be "smart". 🫠
I’d get Zigbee/Matter ones so no huge concern on the network front. Good point about heat though. Could probably do 3 instead of 6; evenly spaced 🤔

Those network-controlled PDUs are expensive. Is there any reason why I shouldn't just buy a bunch of cheap IKEA smart plugs and do this?
I had the same revelation last year! I also discovered gold kiwis a few years ago and can’t go back 🤤
Going to do a short live stream later. I’ve been buying more obsolete tech (modem) that we can talk about.
MIDI 1.0 is the gold standard for protocols. Introduced in 1983, still fit for purpose 43 years later. You can take a synth or a drum machine from the 80s, connect it to a brand new keyboard or controller, and it’ll just work. 👏
Denon apparently forcing HEOS account creation to use all AVR network features. I already have updates disabled on my receiver but I might remove its internet access entirely. old.reddit.com/r/hometheate...
Just ordered an ADSL modem … gonna be surfin’ the net in no time
I have long believed that tech companies tend to over-hire. I expect we’ll continue to see redundancies and layoffs attributed to “AI” but these will either be (a) due to misplaced confidence in the abilities of AI, or (b) because the company had too many employees in the first place.
Working on a thing 👀 🔜
I wrote about how I did this using SNMP jakewright.net/posts/monito...
I upgraded to 32 GB last year with RAM that I had luckily bought before the prices started skyrocketing. But it was just to future proof it because it was running just fine with 8 GB. 🤷♂️
I made some Grafana dashboards for my Synology NAS 👨🏻💻
Tried out some other text editors (want simple, lightweight, not IDEs) including Zed and Nova. Both buggy. Sublime Text—after nearly 20 years—still seems like the most solid & reliable option. 💪

Cheers ebay I'll buy something nice
I watched Up for the first time on Saturday. For what is otherwise quite a lighthearted and silly film, the backstory goes way too hard my god I still haven’t emotionally recovered. 🥺😭
