XLink's eSim provisions devices remotely, cutting activation time from weeks to minutes. Unlike roaming or hybrid Sims that only switch networks after a failure, XLink's Blended APN makes a site a full customer on two South African networks at once, so traffic moves before a session drops. The service keeps card machines and ATM estates of four of South Africa's five largest banks trading. XLink also offers Secondary Failover and industrial profiles, managed roaming for cross-border Sadc fleets, and a Helix platform where every physical and eSim Sim sits in one view. XLink has 143 certified technicians working from 90 points of presence, and 89% of service calls are executed within 100km of a technician. This is a sponsored company announcement.

My Nest only knew the hallway, and a $40 sensor proved the hallway was the wrong room
Making your ESP32 projects last a year just requires simple tweaks
A hobbyist built a toddler-safe telephone that can only call pre-set family contacts. An ESP32-S3 acts as a USB host for a commercial retro-style handset and runs a minimal SIP client connecting over WiFi to a VoIP account, in this case Twilio. There are no inbound calls, so there's no risk of scam calls. Each contact gets an arcade button that lights up based on that contact's time zone, and a text-to-speech voice announces network errors or when it isn't call time.
Why pay a premium for smart devices when an ESP32 and some cheap sensors can do everything for a fraction of the price?
