This is the sort of nerdery I'm here for! Pray tell, how would you go about using those temperature glyphs with a phone keyboard?

This right here. In the UK we have a little box (ONT) where the fibre comes into the home that essentially acts as a modem and converts the fibre to ethernet and back again and then they provide a separate wireless router that plugs into it. Other than for my current ISP where I had to specifically request that they enable bridge mode (which they did for free), I've never had any issues plugging my own router into the ethernet side of this box.
If your ISP's wireless router plugs directly into the fibre then you should be able to request that it's set to bridge mode so that it becomes just a dumb ONT box like we have here. Albeit a large and clunky one.
Contacting the registrar is worth a shot and could be your best bet. I recently did a similar thing except the expiring domain was on a pretty obscure country-TLD with only one registrar. They told me how long the grace period was and then I setup a script to check the availability every minute and alert me when it came up.
Probably not feasible with a .com or similar but they might be able to help in some regard. Edit: though having read about drop catching, that's definitely your best bet if it's likely to be sniped!
"privacy items". In other words it deletes your cookies and forces you to login to everything again.
My fancy toaster came with dire warnings to not leave it plugged in when it's unsupervised, presumably because the cut-off on the mechanical timer can fail. Instead I plugged it into a smart socket with an automation to kill the power if there's a continuous draw for more than 4 minutes.
Not for fun but probably my most pointless. Other than when I was testing it I don't expect this automation to ever fire.
This is very impressive and I'm highly likely to give it a whirl. My question is, though: would it be something that my very non-tech savvy wife could use?
Eg. I'm thinking setup the app on her phone with a default location and when she asks me for a file I can just tell her that I've "put it in the app", and she'll be able to easily retrieve it. Also same thing but vice versa, though the video seems to cover that via the Android share menu...
Again, super impressive. Good job!
Yeah right? See also: Cryptocurrencies.
I did not know that, though unless we've got a real dodgy doctor somewhere I doubt the entire town has a prescription.
Ah yes I forgot about Canada. I tried to be unambiguous but I am in the UK, and I just meant that the people in my town seem to believe that since the laws have largely changed over there then that somehow also applies to us. Everybody's so blasé about using it and the cops don't care so we should just tax the stuff already.
Everybody in my town seems to think it's legal ever since most of the US legalised it. The smell of weed is everywhere and I've seen numerous people casually smoke it in the street. The police don't seem to care, so they may as well just make it official and start reaping the tax benefits.
Edit: Just to be clear, I am in the UK.
I tried a couple episodes of Lower Decks but I wasn't taken. Maybe I should just skip to S2.

Wasn't there an article recently where [some streaming company] openly admitted to exactly that?
Fake edit: Pretty much, yeah
Real edit for context:
