Everyone in the tech industry facepalms almost every time legislators try to pontificate on technology, but the British government appears to be trying to set a new record. After putting iMessage and FaceTime at risk, the government is now suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates.

I use an iPhone SE 2020, because of my bad experience with androids phones (I know high end models are great but I only worked with old hand me downs). Additionally the iPhone is much cheaper than a similarly priced android phone. The software support for my phone is 7 years whereas android phones have 5 years at best.

Ah, I see your point, let me clarify what I meant. When I buy a phone I look at how long I am going to use the phone. I take that number and divide the phones price by it.
For example my current phone cost me 400 euros and has seven years of software support, I plan to use it for the full period it is going to receive software support so that is seven years.
400 divided by 7 is roughly 60 euros a year.
When I buy a similar priced android phone with more features and better hardware at the same price, you usually get 3 to 5 years of software support (please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't looked at smartphones in a long time). I plan to use it while it gets software/security updates so lets say I'm going to use it for 5 years.
400 divided by 5 is 80 euros a year.
That's why I chose to use an iPhone, it may not be the best phone for the price with the latest and greatest hardware, but the thing is so damn stable and solid and cheaper a year that I opted to buy an iPhone. I also must admit that back when I bought the phone I got a good deal.
I hope I clarified why I think my phone is the better choice, you're opinion may vary and I respect that.

I'm looking at getting smart locks for my front and back door, but don't know what to look for. Hopefully something with a keypad, so I can give friends a code to get in, and a RFID badge, so I can easily get in and out. Any suggestions are welcome!
Amazon shut off a man’s smart home devices for a week after a delivery driver falsely accused the customer of hurling a racist slur via a doorbell intercom, the tech giant confirmed Thursday....
How is it even possible that Amazon has the ability to access customers data, you would think that they encrypt it so that no one other than the owner of the device could access the data. More and more reasons to abandon the ring platform and move over to selfhosted heaven!
I enjoy working on selfhosted items and Jellyfin is in the mix. As with many software there are updates to them. Jellyfin seems to not have a great way to check for updates and install automatically. However, you can use the built-in API to help with that.
