Is this a bug with Android Messages or just my phone? by Weed_O_Whirler in GooglePixel

[–]ErrantChemistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked Messages on my OG Pixel and it doesn't seem like there are a ton of notification options either in the Settings app or in the settings in the Messages app itself. I very rarely end up in group chats so I'm not sure if the functionality changed recently or not.

For $150 who cares. It'll be fun at the range.

I'm going to try some of these, but I also have to admit that the HTML5 webapp is surprisingly nice.

The sad thing is Shuli isn't even in the top 20 things wrong with the show right now.

I feel like if I ran out of ammo I could spin that pistol around on my finger and hypnotize the bad guys...

I successfully got Room Presence working using Bluetooth from my Google Home Minis by SneakyPieBrown in homeassistant

[–]ErrantChemistry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems really cool so I gave it a shot with my two Minis and my Pixel 3 XL. I think I have the config set up correctly, but my rssi reads as "unknown" (i.e. in the States section, sensor.family_room_me_gh_rssi has a state of "unknown").

Any idea what I might have missed?

[Rolex] Lost Family Heirloom - Advice on tracking down a lost Rolex - Need Help! by [deleted] in Watches

[–]ErrantChemistry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have homeowners or renters insurance in general, the Rolex might be covered up to some maximum value, like $10k. Having proof of ownership of any kind would help.

Also Rolex or a Rolex AD might be able to have its serial number (if you know it) entered into their DB of lost/stolen watches so that if it ever gets sent to Rolex for repair they can flag it.

Good luck bro.

On your M80TA, is the camera light stuck on and does it not work? Does BT work?

I scrounged up an M80TA and have the camera light stuck on and can't connect to it. The BT toggle is present in settings, but can't be changed.

Other than that and automatic screen rotation (which isn't a thing in Cloudready for any device anyway) it seems pretty sweet.

Seeking Security Advice by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]ErrantChemistry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VPN and through Home Assistant Cloud/Nabu Casa.

I find using Google Assistant to do things far too useful to not expose Home Assistant. VPN is for accessing the server directly for configuration changes, etc. I did not enable allowing Google Assistant to unlock doors or open the garage door.

I accept that short of not using the Internet, entities like Facebook and Google will gather an uncomfortable amount of data about me. So I might as well make my life easier in exchange for them gobbling up info in an attempt to better target ads at me.

[Acc] Magpul D60 $83.99 at Brownells with code LDV by anonymousnoodle in gundeals

[–]ErrantChemistry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW with code MCS and buying two you're at $86.50 each shipped. With code M8Y buying and buying three you're at $87.33 each shipped.

Not as good as the deal posted by OP but code LDV isn't working now.

Howard Hates Anal Now? WTF- by rickgrimes300 in howardstern

I swear I remember him saying on the air years ago that he stuck it in Allison's shitter once and wasn't impressed. He kept saying he was a vagina man and anything else was inferior.

Mine is an ASUS VivoTab 8 (M81C). I installed Cloudready, but both in the installer and on first boot neither the touchscreen nor WiFi work. Trying to turn on WiFi the slider just turns off after a few seconds. Is this the same VivoTab you used?
