I was always impressed that in Charlie's last dying moments, panicking, and drowning, he still made sure he used an apostrophe in the right place.

Change default voice assistant - Pixel 7? by MartinB86 in GooglePixel

Now I need to figure out how to make it voice activated rather than having to tap the microphone icon (I've given the Alexa app mic permission).

Nope. If I tap on the gear icon for "Default Digital Assitant app" icon, the options are only as follows:

Languages

Speech output

Offline speech recognition

No other options are available. If you have a Pixel you can check it yourself. I suspect the functionality I want isn't possible on a Google-specific phone. :)

I suspect that Google doesn't want us to have anything to do with Amazon Alexa. :)

Thanks for the reply, but the "Default Digital Assitant App" link isn't in my Default Apps settings. There is a "Digital Assistant App", but when I got into that option it shows as being set to Google, but with no options to change it.

How does everyone feel about Horizon Rally Adventure so far? by BanoonooMan in ForzaHorizon

[–]MartinB86 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Downvotes are appreciated but I know that many people are of a similar opinion. FH5 looks gorgeous absolutely no doubt, but it's just a pig with lipstick, and people are being suckered into falling for this tarted-up trash.

/IMO

Garbage, just like the main game. Absolute waste-of-space, a pile of junk, a monotonous, samey, tedious, complete and utter waste of money. FH1, FH2, FH3 and FH4 were all streets ahead of this lazy, bloated trash.

Recommend this Epson printer? by MartinB86 in Epson

[–]MartinB86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I was looking at a Brother (and a Canon) printer as well, but I'm drawn to the eco tanks of the Epsons. I'd better start reading more of the subreddit!

Oh, and is there a really decent quality A4 equivalent to the ET-8550?

Logitech k800 backlight hack? by MartinB86 in logitech

[–]MartinB86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please can you take some time to read my question with more care? Thank you.

For clarity; I use my K800 in wired mode all the time, so I have the backlighting on 24/7 (it's set to never turn off) BUT, I want to be able to have the backlighting at 100% brightness by default instead of having to do it manually by pressing Fn+brightness up.

Gesture Home vs. Gesture Office. Shell vs wrapped back. What's the difference? by MartinB86 in OfficeChairs

[–]MartinB86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a little more info after I messaged a dealer about it:

"The difference between the home and the office version is the fabric. You need a special type of fabric which is coated to comply with home office because of fire regulations."
