Today is Sunday, June 18, 2023, and this is show number 945. Steve and I are in Houston right now to visit our son Kyle and his family, so the entire show was prerecorded without the live audience before we left.<\/p>\n<p>We start with another quick review from Marty Sobo. I&#8217;ll step in and explain how to make a virtual switch to control Automations in HomeKit. George from Tulsa is back after a bit of a hiatus with a couple of products that make computing more accessible to him. Finally, in a rare appearance, Steve Sheridan joins me to explain why electric vehicles&#8217; range is so much more affected by things like wind and towing than gas cars.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-28517-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/NC_2023_06_18.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/NC_2023_06_18.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/NC_2023_06_18.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><a title=\"mp3 download\" href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/NC_2023_06_18.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mp3 download<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Articles<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/anker-wall-charger-sobo\/\" target=\"%5Fblank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anker 733 2-in-1 Wall Charger \u2014 by Marty Sobo<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/homekit-automations-virtual-switch-shortcuts\/\">How to Control Multiple HomeKit Automations from One Switch<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/2023\/06\/shademagic-large-print-keyboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ShadeMAGIC Fluorescent Light Diffusers and KOPJIPPOM Large Print Backlit Keyboard \u2014 by George from Tulsa<a><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Thanks for this, George.

When I do use my own images it takes me forever to get a non-revolting image and to clear enough stuff off my desk to make it not look awful. It was a very good choice to back up a bit to save us all from seeing the closeup.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/podfeet.com\/patreon\">Support the Show<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since we&#8217;ve had a new Patron for the Podfeet Podcasts.
