Yeah sure but for some of us it’s not because we have over-complicated our homes.
It’s because we do “fix the damn tech” at work all day and are too damn old to do it at home as well!

Oh yeah, I think a big part of it is not just what you can accomplish, but how efficiently/cheaply. Same with fixes, once they’re annoying enough to actually spend time on, lol.
