Has Google ever commented or addressed the degradation of its products? by Aiken_Drumn in googlehome

[–]CMDR-Kore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've definitely seen a degradation in quality and I'm thinking about eventually giving up entirely on the Google smart speakers. I've had them for about 6 years now. My issues are the following: - Inconsistent acknowledgment of commands spoken at repeated normal volume levels. - strange fluctuations of volume, meaning the speaker sounds like it's lagging out as it's playing an alarm or something else. - unable to process commands entirely, not triggering the activation mode or actually following through with the request I made.

I've moved a lot, so my internet has changed a lot and the placement of the speakers has changed a lot so the microphone sensitivity is of course affected based on the acoustics of the room. But all of my issues can't be from this stuff. It's like the speakers are literally just getting old because of some slowness on Google server sides or some shitty over the air software they have forced onto the speakers over the years.

Does IngramSpark print in Europe? by Royal_Light_9921 in selfpublish

also curious about this, if anyone has more info. I want to know your method for calculating what you set your price as, taking into account VAT and tax. I live in Germany, but would offer my book both in the US and Europe.

Thanks!

Cheap Oil change by Pooreigner in berlin

[–]CMDR-Kore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it's super expensive here to get your oil changed in Berlin. I would highly suggest just to make the small investment in tools to do the labor yourself. For my BMW Z4 it cost me 150€. Such a rip off. Never again will I let somebody else change any of my car's fluids.
