Previous season

A cool front passed through yesterday dropping temperatures in Chicago all the way to...19°C overnight. The dewpoint dropped to 17°C, however, which hints at a time a few weeks from now when the sweaty corn will have been harvested. Last year that happened right around the end of August, so one can hope.

I'm at a friend's house where I just set up her wireless network and wi-fi enabled printer in under 10 minutes. At my (and Wirecutter's) recommendation, she bought a TP-Link Archer BE3600. Setup was very easy. I especially like that it has a "IoT network" feature that you can enable to isolate smart switches from the rest of your network. I have a Netgear Nighthawk at home that gets me 1,300 Mbps throughput, but I didn't see anything like an IoT network when I set it up. I'll check tomorrow morning.
