Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube Music is getting a new “Consistent volume” normalization option. The main YouTube app has had its own “stable volume” tool for a couple years now. The setting has started showing up on both Android and iOS, but only a few people have it so far. Considering the sheer amount of content they offer, streaming from either YouTube or YouTube Music can be a bit like taking a drink from a fire hose.

I love outlet adaptors for HomeKit, but if you still use them to automate lamps, it might be time to switch things up (sorry for the pun). Smart plugs are a great way to get started, but smart bulbs give you more control over the lighting experience and work with overhead lights. With smart bulbs, you can change the color, set different brightness levels, and group them by room or scene. It is an easy upgrade that adds flexibility without complicating your setup. This week, I am looking at the L
