I mean ... Of your mom's still around... Maybe buy fish and like, ask to learn the recipe and cook it yourself? I'm not a mom, I'm a dad, but I cook a lot and if my kid wanted to learn what I do when cooking, that'd be cool.

Not sure if you're still researching, but I really like the Bluetooth ones.
For the Pi4, I use a little USB Bluetooth adapter from pluggable ($13-ish) on a 10-ft USB extension cable to get the module away from other things. I think the pi has Bluetooth built in? But I never got it working. But generic little Bluetooth USB things are perfect. With the USB extension cable I have great whole-house coverage (small house though)
Then for the sensors, I get a 3pk SwitchBot IP65 indoor/outdoor hygrometer.
They're on sale on Amazon right now for $25-ish for 3, so it's a pretty good deal.
As far as placement, I have some outside - they're fine. I try to place them where they're not getting totally hosed by rain or snow - under a tree or in the greenhouse or under my garage eaves sheltered from direct sunlight and rain.
They are very low power consumption (2x AAA batteries included) and I've had some running over a year and they still have more than 50% battery. (The battery level does report to home assistant)
They show up on home assistant immediately after powering up - no apps or anything needed. Just adopt them and set their location in the home assistant settings.
Hell yeah. Also, support your local library! I know your local library doesn't have a free for all streaming service, but they lend books and all kinds of media... Just imagine if we could push it to where your local library DID have a Plex/Jellyfin/Netflix-esque service? Just log in with your library card! That's the dream...
Well, shit.
Forgot to mention: controls that don't suck
You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I'm sure there's plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo...
I'm also in the "my USB Xbox 360 controller is great" camp and wish that they still made them
Just try not to get fakes that are just the normal garbage with drift
From everything I've heard about running a reliable and trustworthy email service, it sounds like a fucking nightmare. I'm glad to pay something like proton to handle it for me.
Yep, and if it becomes a frequent request, add clarification to the readme / wiki / documentation.
Also, if you push folks towards issues, then they become indexable by search engines! So even if you have a solved problem you can at least find that... Discord? It's a black hole.
I'm desperately hoping that conversations or conversion kits become more of a thing so I can keep my dumb car, but electrify it.
Cuz it's either that or maybe wait till cars start getting jailbroken and open source operating systems (ugh) like phones and computers... Which absolutely shouldn't have to be a thing. But here we are.
