    If you were to give your home an IQ test, how would it fare? Nitwit? Useful idiot? Some high-school? Anything below genius and it's time to add some intelligence, to strategically deploy a few devices that provide automation, security, voice controls and other make-life-easier benefits.

    Editors' note, September 2024: This article was written in early 2021 when T-Mobile first unveiled its 5G home internet product and updated six weeks later with additional impressions.

Check out our 2025 T-Mobile 5G Home Internet review for our latest opinions on this service.

    Proper engine maintenance can keep a car running almost indefinitely. Alas, there's no such luck when it comes to phones; at some point, you're going to need (if not want) to upgrade. I'm in that camp: As an iPhone 13 user, I'm feeling the pull of a fresh battery, a faster processor, new features and so on.

Departing this platform soon. As noted previously, subscribing to Deal Secrets is the best way to keep the deals coming your way. But you can also find me on Bluesky if you care to. https://t.co/nDP1LFY1Ez

It's not a done deal yet but there's a very good chance I will be leaving this platform. Substack (https://t.co/8RszUhsv4Y) is without question the best place to find me, but I'm also looking closely at another destination: https://t.co/nDP1LFXtP1
