Make your back-to-school routine better with these smart home tricks
This week, my kids headed back to school. For most parents, that means a weekend spent buying composition notebooks and Ticonderoga pencils and unearthing moldy lunchboxes from last year’s book bag (just me?). In my household, it also means reenabling all my back-to-school smart home routines.
I’ve been using my smart home as an extra pair of parental eyes and ears for years now, and I think all parents need some home automation in their lives. The little things the smart home does well — lights that turn on when you walk into a room, a TV you can shut down with just your voice, a doorbell that shows you who’s there — are so much more useful when you are also juggling little people and their various demands.
(A caveat to all this: I use…

Tower of Fantasy constellation locations: smart telescope solutions
Struggling to find a particular Tower of Fantasy constellation or wondering how to solve the puzzle contained within? Hotta Studio’s open-world game includes plenty of secrets and puzzles to encourage exploration, but some may be more difficult to spot than others. There are eleven smart telescopes scattered throughout the Tower of Fantasy map, identified by the tell-tale glint of their scope, and each one contains an unfinished constellation puzzle.
Solving a Tower of Fantasy constellation smart telescope puzzle will net you a Black Nucleus, one of several different currencies available to spend on weapon banners, so they’re well worth tracking down if you happen to be in the area. As you might expect, smart telescopes are often situated in elevated areas such as cliff-tops, so be prepared to spend some time traversing the environment. Thankfully, this is where Tower of Fantasy vehicles really come in handy. If you’re on a mission to scoop up as much loot as possible, check out our guide to the Tower of Fantasy battle pass, as well as our list of all Tower of Fantasy codes that are currently available to redeem. With that said, here are all eleven smart telescope locations.

IKEA’s smart city project reimagines future home design
This summer, IKEA explored the future of home and the city spaces we share by collaborating with the H22 City Expo, held from May to July in Helsingborg, Sweden.
A partner of the large-scale city expo, IKEA hosted exhibitions and events across two sites in Sweden: Magasin 405 with Skogen in Oceanhamnen, and DM at Drottninghög. These included a modular, transportable forest with flatpack dwellings, an IKEA Mall with home design products from the company, and a series of 60 short documentaries about home in different countries.
“In a straight collaboration with the city and the local community, we created for H22 City Expo unique meeting places, and we are exploring the future of Life at Home, inside and outside the four walls,” says Belén Frau, global communication manager of Ingka Group, IKEA’s holding company. “We want to test and learn how to lay a foundation where locally relevant initiatives and activities can be upscaled and later be taken to other Ingka Group markets.”
The name of the event in the Drottninghög area, DM, stands for Do More, which is a brand powered by Ingka Group that’s testing a new business model for community engagement. It’s a multipurpose marketplace with pop-up stores, markets, urban farms, a food court, events, school activities, and a place to meet and greet.
“We hope that DM, together with our other meeting-points, will be a positive force in the local community, creating jobs and giving the residents the opportunity of creation and togetherness,” says Fredrik Håkansson Lundh, area manager, IKEA Retail Sweden.
