Do mods and "cheats" impact trophies?
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong community. I’ve just returned to the game for the first time since 2017 after downloading the next-gen update. I’m a bit of a “trophy hunter”, but I’m also intrigued by mods and quick codes for the Bethesda games (I was a Skyrim fanatic). Will mods or “cheats” impact my ability to earn trophies? If so, I’ll wait until I have the platinum and then try it.
Any HomeKit enabled desk lamps (UK)?
Pretty much as the title states, really. Just rearranged my home office and I’m looking for a decent HomeKit enabled desk lamp. I used to use a Benq light bar on my old monitor, but now I have a Studio Display I’m not sure I want to use it on there (unless people tell me it’s fine?) Thanks in advance.
"Best" Mac browser: Your view
I know “best” is subjective, but as someone who’s entrenched in the Apple ecosystem I always used to use the stock apps: Reminders, Calendar, Mail, Podcasts and, of course, Safari. But over time I’ve moved away from some of those apps, towards things that work better than the stock apps but also still sync with my other Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Watch): Things and Todoist (because I can’t decide on one over the other), Fantastical, Mail (still), Overcast… but I tend to hover between browsers. I mainly use Safari, and try to use profiles to separate personal and work stuff. But over the years I’ve also tried Firefox, I’ve tried Brave and more recently I’ve tried Arc. But I just can’t make my mind up. So I was curious what your browser of choice is (and also, if you have any other views on the best stock app replacements - including alternatives to the ones I listed above for GTD, calendars, email and podcasts (don’t get me started on the “best” search engine!), I’d be interested to get your opinions.
Transfer cash from Apple account?
This probably isn’t possible, but I traded in an old MacBook Air and chose to get the cash added to my Apple account. However, at the minute it just pays some of my subscriptions automatically, and I was wondering if I can withdraw it somehow? I was looking to buy a few apps (Swish, Transmit) and figured I could get them off the Mac App Store. But Swish isn’t on there and the App Store version of Transmit doesn’t seem worth it compared to getting it directly from their website. So wondered if I could somehow transfer the cash from my Apple account but guessing the answer is “no”?

HomeKit-/Matter-enabled lighting - two use cases
Hopefully these scenarios are common, and therefore easy to resolve… I have a photo shelf in my lounge that I was thinking of trying to light up of an evening using some kind of HomeKit-enabled lighting - but not sure what kind of light. Being that it’s high up, it’d be better if the lights were battery operated so as not to have a big wire trailing down, but it’s not the end of the world if that’s not possible, as I’m sure I could hide the wire behind a nearby tall plant. The shelf I have is a simple one from IKEA (here [https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/malmbaeck-display-shelf-white-20446236/]), and I was thinking of either putting something along the front of the shelf, behind the lip, or in between the 3 photos I have on there. The other scenario is the aforementioned tall plant. I was also looking for an option of something that can be placed in the plant pot, firing upwards, to light the plant. Wired is less of a problem here, as I have an outlet right next to it. Again, plant is an artificial IKEA one (here [https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-in-outdoor-bamboo-10467804/]). Any thoughts/suggestions for what’s out there (I’m in the UK)? Thanks in advance!

Square icon on Mail notifications instead of circular?
I’m pretty sure this has happened to me several times over the years, but it hasn’t happened for a while so I can’t remember the fix. But for some reason, the notifications for Mail on my Apple Watch are square instead of circular. As you know, circular notifications are interactive and can be replied to, actioned, etc. whereas square ones are literally notifications and you can’t do anything with them. Any ideas how to fix?
