The last time a company not named Samsung was at the top of the smartphone market was 2010, and for 2023 it is now Apple

I am currently in the UAE and was looking for a solution to some things to do with setting my home and work on Apple Maps, but it seems that that part of the maps wasn't fully provided or something so I will not be able to set those.

Searching for a solution let me to this on the place that shouldn't be named, but Joseph (u/KickNo5073/) said we can use his map. So I just hopped on over here and subscribed to share it over here. I hope it is okay sharing pictures from there as I didn't see any rules about it in this instance.

Looks like a few new countries are coming in 2024. I was actually surprised because in the UAE we still have a few features not working yet.

I recently purchased a small studio flat and thought that it is the perfect place to make a smart home since I will only need to control a few things.

I have already ordered my light switches and am still contemplating my blinds.

But my biggest concern is my airconditioning as I stay in the desert and it becomes quite unbearable during summer I normally left the AC on the whole day in my rental apartment.

But since this AC works on electricity only I figured I wanted to make it smart and only want it to cool a 15 minutes before I normally arrive back home.

My thermostat though is a communicating one and so far the only one I am seeing is the Lennox iComfort S30, but I don’t know if it is compatible with what I currently have. The videos I looked at said the companies should be sister companies for compatibility but I couldn’t find out how to check that.

This is my current thermostat

Has anyone else tried to do something similar?

Edit: This is what is on top of the roof of the apartments and each has 1 or more of these

Commentary: I don't use Journal every night, but even opening the app and looking back helps put time into perspective.
