brett tech
smart-home + gear channel. apple-first + practical. nfc tag ideas + small office/travel upgrades. practical af!!
i wanna try to keep track of the people i actually learn from. brett was one of the first i thought of.
he’s canadian, apple-first, and stupidly practical. his walkthroughs help me learn deeply first, then implement on purpose so i don’t waste time or money.
i go to brett for simple smart-home choices, setups that won’t bite me later, and the kind of small gear (desk, travel, edc) that actually makes life easier.

i found the aqara u100 through brett. we used it for two years and loved it - tap to unlock with apple wallet, automations so it’d unlock when we arrived home. huge fan.
