Charge to 100%, or keep it between 20 and 80? 🔋 Overnight on the nightstand, or top-ups all day? Austin, pick your side.

Rain moves in tonight and stays through ACL Weekend One. 🌧️ Wet-festival phone kit: a quart zip bag (the touchscreen works through it), earbuds in their case inside a second bag, a battery pack charged tonight, and a poncho (umbrellas are not allowed in). Soaked anyway? Power off, dry fully, then…

Every house has The Drawer. 🔌 Fourteen cables, one that charges something you no longer own, a wall plug from a phone two moves ago, and an adapter nobody can identify but nobody will throw out. What is the most mysterious thing living in yours?

Hot take: a smart home that dies when the internet drops isn't smart, it's a rental. 💡 If a Wi-Fi hiccup turns your switches into decoration, every tap asked a server for permission. Thread, Zigbee and Matter gear keeps working offline. Rebuttals welcome: how many of your gadgets survive an outage?

Every Austin house has one room where the Wi-Fi goes to die. 📶 The back bedroom. The garage gym. The bathroom that somehow has zero bars. Which room is yours?

Hot take: the printer is the one device in your house that belongs on a cable, and it's the one everyone puts on Wi-Fi. 🖨️ It naps, forgets the network, and shows up as 'Offline' the night before a flight. One Ethernet cable ends the saga for good. Prove me wrong.

Hot take: the smart glasses worth buying are the ones with no camera. 🕶️ Music, calls, an assistant in your ear, and nobody at the table wondering if they're being recorded. A camera-free pair finally launched this week. Tell me why I'm wrong.

Hot take: nobody needs more than two streaming services at once. 📺 The average household pays $69 a month for them. Subscribe to one, finish the show, cancel, rotate. Cancelling is annoying on purpose. Which one could you never cut?

Austin's first cold front of fall is on the 10-day. 🍂 Early next week: highs from 99 into the 70s and 80s, mornings in the 50s, actual rain. Fair warning: the first 58-degree morning will produce puffer jackets, and we will all pretend that is normal.

Cedar fever gets the headlines. Ragweed is the opening act nobody bought a ticket for, and it peaks this week. 🤧 That sneeze on the trail is pollen, not a cold, and it runs until the first freeze, which in Austin is a rumor until December. Bless you.

Hot take: almost nobody in Austin needs gigabit internet. 📶 300 down streams 4K on three TVs and a video call at once. What makes Wi-Fi feel slow is the 2018 router behind the TV, not the plan. Paying for the big number? Tell us why we're wrong.

Hot take: a 5G home internet box beats a cable contract for most Austin renters. 📶 No install window, no tech visit, cancel in an app. It loses behind stone walls or when the whole complex shares one tower. Prove me wrong.
