Years ago I flew transatlantic and just before landing I got up and brushed my teeth with a tiny travel set. I still remember all the people looking at me with my toothpaste and brush in hand thinking "why didn't I think of that?"

Learn to take care of yourself, before you take of others.

Adding to that that you can also easily make a separate WiFi network (tied to a vlan even) for IoT. OpenWRT makes this very easy.

Some examples of poor compression: cameras, dashcams, security cameras, basically anything that just dumps an image into a stream.

Give LyX a try. It's like writing TeX in a much more friendly way.

Steamer with 3 baskets that can be stacked. Never had vegetables taste better and making rice is fire and forget.

I use a little dish and a silicone brush. I think whether or not it will clog will depend on the oil a lot.

Just wait until you watched a certain little Britain sketch. "Bubbles" will be forever etched into your mind.

It really depends how you define reliability. SD cards are physically nigh indestructible, but can show failure when overwritten often. Hence for one off backups it's actually a good alternative. It will start showing problems when used as a medium that often writes and overwrites the same data often.

I would recommend backups on SD cards in an A/B fashion when you want to give a backup to someone else to store safely.

Back in the day I bought a fridge freezer combo, second hand, no handles. Used to be a built in model. As handles I used two magnets from full height drives, they were ludicrously strong and shaped like a little bit like a handle.

Full height drives were 3.25" high for those who are wondering.

You can read measurements without going to the device itself, instead, you use a phone or similar. This also means that a device doesn't require a display. Consider an outside thermometer as example. Home automation allows you to draw a little graph giving you a good idea how cold it got. Let's add another measurement device, say a radon meter. Again, no display needed and you could stick it somewhere less accessible.

You can make home automation as silly or useful as you want it to be.
