Alaska Airlines has free in-flight Wi-Fi via Starlink/T-Mobile. Got 400Mbps down, and close to 180Mbps when connected back to my house with WireGuard.

In prep for upcoming travel I pulled out my #Ubiquiti #UniFi Travel Router. They made some welcome improvements since I last tried it.

I can finally broadcast a second SSID. Yes it seems unnecessary but certain people like to bring an Echo Dot and it's a pain to join to a new network, then reconnect to our IOT network after.

The other interesting change is it can Bind To Site with my CloudKey. It couldn't before, I think due to lack of Teleport. (My remote access is WireGuard via pfSense.)

My 11-year-old wrote from grandma’s house: "The watch said that it's gonna turn on school mode in five minutes, do you think you could turn it off?”

Anyone using Apple Watch with kids knows that settings generally can’t be changed remotely. But luckily you can disable Schooltime, it’s just a bit hidden.

Open the Watch app on your phone and tap on All Watches. But instead of tapping on the kid’s watch, tap the ‘i’ next to it. There you can disable or change the schedule and it updates remotely.
