Is he a bear?

It totally is, but it's not their right to try to stab people.

Bear arms, not knife arms

Artificers use assembly language to cast their spells.

Vim (clearly a buff)

That's some grand wizard who's made some named spells. Vim's Inescapable Hut being the most known one.

I'll down vote it when it says "I have nothing to add" because it could just not say anything.

Unfortunately, it's probably for Bluetooth, as those permissions seem to be linked.

But, for lights, if you're handy, look into xlights / fpp, it's the software that some holiday lightshow people use, and it's great, but involved. Similarly, wled software runs on esp32 chips and can control lights, but again, you need to be handy enough to set it up.

Edit: home assistant seems to have created access to the local API for govee, https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/govee_light_local/ but that still might be more than you want to deal with.

Amphenol has a through-hole, MUSBRM5C130, that isn't bad at all to solder, but it's not cheap at all. Assembly might be cheaper. (Panel mount)

That time should be billed extra

I'm excited to share it with my kid.

Soldering. A USB-a connector has 4 pins and a few holes for chassis.

A USB-c connector has 24 pins in a smaller space, plus a few for chassis. Having hand soldered each, A is better.

None in the mobile games. It's mostly strategy and puzzle games, with a few that are just silly for being silly. The Android tablet has decent family controls.

Minecraft is not on the tablet. Yet. (They know it can be installed, but like using the switch for it right now.)

I've got an 8 year old with a 20 minute timer for YouTube on the tablet, but a bunch of other things wide open. If they want to watch YouTube more, the TV will let them just as much. I've got timers on the tablet, keeping it locked out until 5:30am, because they'll wake earlier to use it more in the morning otherwise and be a grumpy butt throughout the day. (It's just what happens when there's too much in the morning)

As for apps, permission is required, but I'll just ask what it's about and install it anyway.
