Hot take: $3 a month for cloud photo storage is the best money people won't spend. A phone in Lady Bird Lake is a bad afternoon. A phone in the lake with the only copy of 10 years of photos is a bad decade. 📱 Why not you?

Austin, mid-September: 100 at noon, sunset before 7:30, so the whole city goes outside at once. 🌇 The lake trail becomes a marathon start line, every patio fills at once, every dog gets walked at the exact same time. Where's your after-sunset spot?

Hot take: mesh Wi-Fi is oversold for most Austin apartments. Under 1,200 sq ft one good router in the middle beats three pucks in corners. Every hop costs speed. Save mesh for two stories and stone walls. Defend your pucks. 📶
