I bought some NFC sticker tags! Primarily to help automate #timetracking for board games (sticker can be stuck inside the box, and used to fire a Shortcut on my phone). However, I realised they can also trigger #homeassistant scripts which seems fun.

My photos are backed up to iCloud from my phone, yet for some reason there is 8gb of photos on my iPad.

my husband made it so the home assistant voice assistant can use full-on ollama to interpret instructions. then he told it to turn the lights on. it's been explaining its thought process for over five minutes now and the lights are still off.
