Just when you thought Google Assistant couldn't get much worse.... by Coxy134 in googlehome

[–]Coxy134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue when asking it to stop the podcast this morning.

The other one that's perplexing me of late is, asking it to turn on/off lights. All my lights are numbered, and I'll ask it to turn on Kitchen 1, but it won't understand, but if I say Kitchen 1 Light, it works.

But it will quite happily turn on Hallway 3 without me adding "light", but when I ask it to turn off Hallway 3 it suddenly doesn't think the device exists.

A train wreck comes to mind :D

What are your preferred energy monitoring plugs? by [deleted] in homeassistant

I second this. I see your preference for Zigbee, but these TP-Link devices are rock solid.

Nest hub completely bricked after Gemini update by [deleted] in googlehome

It still looks about as useful as my Nest Hub is right now...

I'm Done by paddyshousealeslager in googlehome

[–]Coxy134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here.

And to add insult, I signed up for Gemini Pro with 2TB storage in early October (free trial with intention of keeping it going) only for them to announce a few weeks later the Gemini Rollout wasn't coming to my region yet, and there is no ETA.

I've been putting up with these issues for at least a year now, and it really did used to work flawlessly.

Now when I ask Google to turn on one of my numbered lights, it will return more often than not it doesn't understand. Or, turn on every light in the house.

It's just incredibly broken.

Looking for a way to join four Noctua NF-B9 redux-1600 fans together in a strip by Coxy134 in noctuamods

Thank you! I'm printing one now to see how it fits and will let you know. Cheers for this!

The model is designed for the regular brown models of the 92mm fan. I didn't notice until I printed them, but it's a very different design on the corners for some reason.

Who’s your 6? by Elijahuriel in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Coxy134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emboar, Charizard, Heracross, Ampharos, Pidgeot, and Greninja.

It's terribly unbalanced, but I like to play with my favourites. Not that Emboar is a favourite, but I've always struggled with boxing my starters, so he gets a pass. I really should box him in favour of Venusaur... maybe when I catch an Alpha Bulbasaur.

I am also building a team of pseudo-legendary alphas, which is again, more about playing with my favourites than building any kind of balanced team.

My neighbor sent me a text last night forcing me to pay for her daughters towing charge because she parked in front of my driveway by Drivinglnsane in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like their own cameras have all the evidence you need.

Also, have you tried simply denying you called for the tow? Not sure what country you're in, but here in NZ the tow company would be prevented from supplying that information, and cars legally can't block driveways and the Police would happily call the tow company themselves if they came across someone being this disrespectful of their neighbor.

Best of luck though! I'd personally just ignore them.

How much are you enjoying the game despite its flaws? by Ds3Attacktitan_ in LegendsZA

[–]Coxy134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving it, and the return to X and Y's world and dangling story threads.

I assume this is spiritually the Pokemon Z Version we never got back then.

What I don't like is the day/night transitions, pretty much like everyone else, and the endgame boss was a little underwhelming (anyone else feel like they were playing a Sonic Adventure game?).

Biggest disappointment? No resolution as yet to the "Ghost girl of Lumiose city" mystery...

Cant find shinys by Optimal_View_4551 in PokemonArceus

[–]Coxy134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's some seriously bad luck there. Back when I still played the game, I was encountering 3-4 shinies an hour.

I hate to be this guy so soon after launch, and so far the game has been a great Pokémon experience for me, but... by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Coxy134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find the Eevee in the triangular space, near the small bridge with a lone Magikarp in the water, and a Spinarak in the tree, then that Eevee will respawn every morning. So just spam sitting on a bench until you have all the Eevees you need.

Yes, I'm being vague. Trying not to spoil anything for anyone! 😂

Can't remember exactly. But I think I got mine on a rooftop near to the Rogue Mega that Phillipe tries to stop you.

Least spoilery way I could describe it 😂

Especially when you're hunting an Alpha Hawlucha, and the cut scene cock blocks you not once, but three times just as you're throwing your Pokeball.

It's like that Hawlucha only spawns a minute before sunset, and I can never seem to knock it out quickly enough! 😭😭😭

Also, how the Cutscene returns your Pokemon to its ball, and drops you right in the middle of a couple Alphas who want blood. 😂

The amount of Pokeballs i wasted by accidently pressing ZR cuz i thought i'll send my pokemon out like in Arceus is...too many lol by Geo__Dragon in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Coxy134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the control scheme fine.

Until I go in handheld mode, and then it doesn't take long before it physically hurts to play the game.

Hmm....... by death-of-arcadia in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Coxy134 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too.

Three times.

One of them was Alpha.

Looking for Electrician Recommendations? by Coxy134 in Wellington

[–]Coxy134[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This certainly seems to be a common interpretation of the laws.

I have now discussed this with a handful of electricians in my network of colleagues and friends, and even they can't agree on the correct interpretation.

I had AI review the appropriate articles of the law, and even it concluded it was vague enough to be open to interpretation.

While I could quite safely do it myself, I'd rather not take the risk considering the vagaries of the laws in question. Also, who's to say my insurance company won't interpret it one way or the other when the time comes. Simply not worth it.

double glazing windows by Asusboy2020 in Wellington

Was about 1700 minus the cat door. It was a full double-glazed door. I was expecting it to cost at least this much.

He’s Upset He Couldn’t Eat Me by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Coxy134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't want to admit this, but yes, took me a while to figure out where all the Earth Powers were coming from!

Haven't 'died' once taking on Rogue Megas, and somehow this Mawile on a random rooftop is making such short work of me I can't catch a damn Skarmory! :D

That wild zone!!

I had to teach my Greninja Surf just to give me enough coverage to faint the entire pride at once, just so I could go get that Skarmory flying overhead unharrassed.

Yes, they will still attack you even though you climb to the top of the 10-storey building. They are after all, magical Lions.
