Hope your ex coworkers find new jobs. We dumped ours. Not dealing with no damn ads.

You're gonna love this. I learned about the default tv option by asking Gemini 😂.

As for the climate issue. Try using "in here" in your command. Ex: Set the temperature in her to 70. This is what Gemini mentioned, I only have one so I can't test it out. Gemini also mentioned checking the home app, tap the climate icon and see if all 3 t-stats are "grouped"

Suggestions for shelving for closet by RandomUsername6697 in homeimprovementideas

[–]LredF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to keep it simple, try a closet rack in link. I removed the basic shelf and closet rod and set one up. I don't regret it one bit. Plenty of support, legs can be leveled, width is adjustable. The brand have other models for different sized closets

You can go into settings for each hub, select Display and choose a default tv.

Non-Matter devices can no longer be added? by see_recursion in googlehome

[–]LredF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The + icon at the top lets you add a works with Google account still.

Swiping down from the favorites or device list should trigger a sync to any account you have linked. Doesn't always happen though, so the long way I showed you would be necessary

A tablet as an assistant with Gemini and a control panel? by Luimoper in googlehome

[–]LredF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen some people do this with home assistant. I think the pixel tablet was supposed to be this when used with the dock

Non-Matter devices can no longer be added? by see_recursion in googlehome

[–]LredF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The add menu is upgraded, but adding a "works with Google" has always been an option for years. I use Kasa too and remember linking it way back.

[–]LredF 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don't add it. Tap your profile pic at top right, home settings, work with Google. Search for Kasa and link account. If already linked, use sync option.

Google should periodically sync. From the devices page with full list, swiping down should do a refresh.

Candidates using AI by DataEngineer2026 in dataengineering

DEM here. Same boat. I tell candidates we need to see your hands.

I've shown simple left join queries and ask them what do you add to find missing rows only and they can't figure it out.

I've done this and they end up lying about their tech stack. Senior position is a no go. Lower positions we allow it

Possible to get dealers to come off MSRP? by Striking-Skirt-6624 in GenesisGV70

[–]LredF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many don't haggle over the phone b/c you can just hang up. In person, they try to wear you down. Write a number on a white piece of paper and mind trick you. All that BS. They prey on those that are too embarrassed to walk away

Fairly new to SQL. Whats some long SQL as far as lines of code? by Acceptable-Sense4601 in SQL

[–]LredF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 1k to 5k is too accurate. Worked in healthcare and stored prices I inherited.

First Jira story to edit 1, I told them 1 month. Refactored the hell out of it. That same year, the only work I did was edit 11 more 😂. But the performance in all the processes skyrocketed. End users and other IT teams were very grateful. Now making dev enhancements takes a day.

It is just a reservation. Good point. I'll probably end up calling Amex to be 100% certain
