Bit of a left-field PSA this, but… if you own an iPhone/iPad in the UK and:

- you DON'T own a credit card
- you DON'T have a driving license
- you have NOT had your Apple account for more than 18 years

…don't upgrade to iOS 26.4 if you want to install (or some cases, use) 17+ rated apps or stream 18+ films/tv on itvX, netflix, etc.

The update adds mandatory OS-level age verification to meet UK law and Apple doesn't currently accept passports (!) to prove age.

What happens when my ancient dumb doorbell dies? A new adventure with #ESPHome and #HomeAssistant, that's what!

(Spoiler: it's not complicated but does use a script and a virtual switch in ESPHome, which I hadn't done before, and anyway it was fun!)

The Dumb Doorbell Caper

Our old doorbell dinged its last dong. So, I can replace it, but what sort of doorbell should I choose...

Very surprised by this! I always thought stickers were a pointless feature 🤔

I want to have membership perks that you, the viewer, actually want.

With that said, what sort of membership perks do you consider most valuable?

Be sure to comment if I’ve missed an obvious option.

Thanks
