My latest HomeKit fail: After updating to iOS 27, HomeKit stops seeing my Hue bulbs for days at a time. They still appear for every other platform. Home Assistant is looking more enticing every day. #apple #homekit #fail

Hey there, my little espresso shots! It's Fresh Brewed Tales time again, and today AI is on the menu. Apparently AI is now a requirement for a proper workout. #ai #fitness #marketing #wtf freshbrewedtales.com...

NEW: Wildfire in Boulder near People’s Crossing is prompting evacuations from 4th street on west. Winds are about as light as can be and there’s good humidity as well…hoping this can help firefighters get a handle on this quickly. #COwx
