  • Tech Talk That Actually Keeps You Interested

    Mostly Technical is one of those podcasts that makes you feel smarter without putting you to sleep. The hosts have great chemistry and break down complex topics in a way that’s super relatable. It’s technical, yeah—but also funny, laid-back, and easy to follow. Perfect for devs, tinkerers, or anyone who likes geeking out without getting overwhelmed.

Q: Should Aaron first go to an HVAC guy?
Dan suggests starting with a remote sensor strategy as a first step before involving an HVAC professional, to identify if there are enough temperature changes to warrant further modifications.
