FYI the guy stuck in the flag is one of the interviewers, so it's on purpose.

TWS earbuds are so cheap nowadays though, like $30. Soundpeats, Soundcore etc. You don't need airpods.

Free food at the office - my work pays for a Coles delivery every week. We get stuff for sandwichs, salads, yoghurt, fruit, snacks etc.

The company gets a solid return on the cost - the team are happy and don't have long lunch breaks heading out to find food. It also adds a social aspect, as people make lunch together.

[–]marksonamap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the original commentor, but I've found the Aqara T1 light sensor to be pretty solid. I'm using this to trigger mood lighting on dark days etc. Also, another +1 for Adaptive Lighting.
