Ben Wallace in short:

BW: We’ll give Ukraine what it needs.

UA: We need fighter jets.

BW: No you don’t.

@lilianedwards @mmasnick Looks like that's good news for @Daphneflap!
Hmm …

The cat just went over to the HomePod mini on my desk, meowed at it, and Siri said "sure here is some music for you" and the cat perched on the window sill listening to Garbage and Elliott Smith.

I just want to know how long this has been going on.

@SeanJones My top tip is to give the new router the same SSID and password as the old router, then everything will just connect to it
@ben I've had a Fibaro HC2 for many years, but it's rather clunky, and I thought it was time to go more streamlined. Saw a review of Homey, tried the cloud-only service for a few days and liked it, so ordered the bridge. It handles lots of brands pretty seamlessly.
@ben Have to say I like the Homey a lot. I may well upgrade to the Homey Pro at some point this year when Matter is rolled out. It's pretty much The One Hub To Rule Them All.
@Tony_Meredith Have to say, I think one great use case for all this stuff will be for ageing folk like us to help stay independent. Things like not having to race to the door when the bell rings, nor stumble around a house turning off lights at night can be a godsend for vulnerable people or those with mobility problems.
