How to Make a ‘Dumb’ Air Conditioner ‘Smart’

I recently came across a product called “Sensibo” that that can convert some “dumb” air conditioners, to being “smart” ones. What’s meant by a “smart” air conditioner is being able to control it from anywhere, anytime. The use case/benefit that I have in mind is being able to remotely manage the air conditioning status at listed (vacant) properties. I think it’s safe to say that nobody enjoys viewing a hot and humid house and that showings are likely “rushed” if the home environment is uncomfortable. I’m imagining that agents could introduce the Sensibo product to clients who may be able to benefit from having one/some installed in their home so they can better manage their property’s air temperature.

How to Fix All of Windows 10’s Annoyances

I periodically come across articles on the topic of fixing/addressing various Windows 10 annoyances. Recently, I came across a good one (translated: Quite long, but thorough) at the HowToGeek.com website. The title of the article is “How to Fix All of Windows 10’s Annoyances.” Although the article may not actually address all of Windows 10’s annoyances, it does address quite a few of them. Many people don’t realize  they can quite easily “fix” (reconfigure) many of Windows 10’s settings so they aren’t bothered by as many ads, notifications, etc. I would encourage all Windows 10 users to visit the following web page to see if any of the topics covered might address/fix some issue that may be annoying them. Here’s a link to the article…www.tinyurl.com/yaon5puu
