    I have a case and a tempered glass protector. I like the case because it add some grip and my current phone doesn’t do wireless charging so I have a small metal plate between the phone and the case to use a magnetic phone holder in the car. That way I don’t have to glue it tonthe back of the phone and you don’t see it.

    I don’t take the extended warranty because I buy my phone unlocked, and my credit card offers an extra year of warranty on top of the one from the manufacturer so I have two years of protection instead of one.





  • IMO the way to go is to slowly transition, and avoid systems, hardware and softwares that depends on the cloud as much as possible. If you can, try to stick to one open standard and don’t deviate unless you have absolutely no choice.

    You should be able to disconnect the Internet and control everything locally on your home wireless network. If you can’t, then you don’t own it.

    Sure, you can make some automation rely on some weather services (OpenWeatherMap), but you could go one step further and deploy your own weather station on your property (ie: attached to the shed, etc). That way even if the Internet goes out, you can still automate based on local data.
