Hardware

Stuff I'm using:

• 2019 16" MacBook Pro
• MX Master 3 Mouse - This is the best mouse, no question.
• iPhone 12
• iPad Air 3
• Deco M5 mesh system
• A 2014 Mac Mini for Plex. It's old but it still does the job perfectly.
• 2 of these HiSense H43M3000 42" 4K TVs. These are cheap, the "smart" stuff is terrible but the picture and sound quality is excellent. Close to perfect.
• Wave Case - I have these for my iPhone and my AirTags.

I have a single "smart" home item which is a smart plug for turning an electric blanket on in the winter. I'm convinced a lot of smart home stuff is more trouble than it's worth.

I don't remember who said this on a podcast, but I think about this a lot in relation to smart homes (paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact quote)

If you say to me "it works with Homebridge" you might as well just tell me it doesn't work

Also this.
