  1. I never got the memo. I’ve been aligning all my slotted screws horizontally. Are we supposed to align phillips head screws to be a + or an x? I assume hex head screws are omnidirectional.

  2. Govee not supporting 5Ghz has always bothered me. Once in a blue moon, the band-steering on my router doesn’t work right, and it makes the govee lose connection to the 2.4Ghz
