This is what happens when your love for genealogy meets ChatGPT magic ✨!
I had so much fun creating this and of course, I had to honor my grandmother, the woman who started me on this amazing journey.

Big things are coming… exciting classes are in the works! 📚💻🧬

So tell me—what are you working on right now?

Beware of Dead Tech

Step 1: Check if it’s Still Supported

Start at endoflife.date. It shows support timelines for thousands of products, not just tech. If the device you’re holding is unsupported or close to end of life, walk away.

Step 2: Look at the Generation

If the current model online is Gen 5 and yours is Gen 1 or Gen 2, it’s probably already lost support—or will soon.

Step 3: Check the App

Search for the device’s companion app in the app store and look at the update history. An update within the last six months is a good sign. If the last update was in 2023, that’s a red flag.

Step 4: Watch Deep Discounts

A smart home gadget marked down more than 70% usually isn’t a steal—it’s a clearance for a product on its way out.

Saving a few dollars is nice. Buying something that stops working right away isn’t.
