smeg , to Games in Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

I made a post the other day about some gentle arcade mobile games which are currently free. I've only played Traffix so far, but it seems great.

"Email address" is the phrase you're looking for!

Once installed, Temu can recompile itself and change properties, including overriding the data privacy settings users believe they have in place

If this is actually possible then isn't that a huge security vulnerability in Android and/or iOS? I feel if this was the case we'd be hearing about it from security researchers rather than a lawyer.

The only time mine whined were in a very old lamp and when in a socket which still had an analogue dimmer switch - when I swapped that for a normal switch it solved the noise.

I've got quite a few IKEA Trådfri bulbs and I don't think I've ever had a problem with one (and if I did IKEA are generally pretty flexible with returns for up to a year). They're pretty good, use ZigBee and so work well with home assistant, the IKEA app isn't too bad, and they're half the price of Phillips Hue.

Chess clock / egg timer. If they don't decide fast enough then no action for them!

This monster just remembered it can take a legendary action on your turn!

I've got an NPC who has been in the last six towns because nobody ever wants to talk to them
