On this show, I play one of our traditional songs from American Heartbreak; home assistant had a bad update right before I really needed it working; check your backups before you need them; your smart home is a real drag when it gets dumb; I can no longer be casual about home assistant updates; I am trying out the Hoarder app but am unsure how to integrate it with Obsidian; I gave the dickheads at Open AI money for the first time; I found the boom mike stand; I sold some of grampa's silver; market timing is not fun; Pi-Hole is keeping many ads away from me; "the big retailers don't want you to have this"; beer ads and cereal ads have a surprisingly similar structure; I don't understand the pyramid scheme of ad-supported mobile games.
