Why not just use Bluetooth? I'd be suspicious if the Dishwasher app requested permission to access the phone's microphone

There could be both.

I very much identify with the self respecting type your parent describes and try my best to 'punish' sellers who try silly FOMO tactics, by demoting them into oblivion in my books. However, I am still prone to some FOMO with proven, trusted brands.

Anecdote: Several years ago I happened to try out a certain brand of shoes and loved the quality and style and have ever since only bought that brand and have even introduced friends and family members to it. However, I still wait for their deals to show up before picking up a pair and am vulnerable to their "time running out" campaigns. I click "Buy", assured that at least I won't be stuck with a substandard product.

I like to think that if I ever build a product, I would focus on quality and attract the kind of customer I myself am and would never stoop to the lowly FOMO tactics, even for assured short term gains.

Brilliant! Just today, I was listening to a panel of world class artists being asked (now trite) questions on AI taking over their jobs and they concluded something like:

What networking gear do you use inside your home? What router? Do they terminate an actual fiber connection (SFP+) to your home or you get 10GB Ethernet?

Haven’t used NextDNS but have used PiHole and currently running AdGuard Home. But if you are paying $20/year just for DNS encryption/blocking, you may consider upgrading to Mullvad which gives you DNS Ad blocking but also IP anonymity, tunneling etc.

I use iCloud to sync. Just locate the vault in an iCloud drive folder called Obsidian. Works beautifully to sync between my different Macs and iOS devices.

The best kind of correct answer!

That's not helpful. You said you wanted to help :)
