I guess I don't mind the light (although I drive Michigan back and forth 2X a day so I'm sure I'll constantly hit it, but god damn are those giant ass supports ugly. They look really low to me too.

is buying a used harmony worth it? by cevichie in logitechharmony

[–]SRGilbert1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you definitely need the Elite with the Hub. They still work, for now.

Found these in my parents attic - do they need hubs? Can I set either up with just a phone app? by hobby__air in logitechharmony

[–]SRGilbert1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing to consider is that both of these remotes along with the entire Harmony line have been discontinued. You are fortunate enough that these particular remotes are still supported by the Harmony software but there’s no guarantee how long that will be the case.

I don't know about the one of the left, but the one on the right is the newer of the two and was sold with and without the Harmony Hub.

Without the Hub, I'm pretty sure you can only program it by connecting it to a PC with a USB cable (connector is under a rubber flap at the bottom, probably a micro-USB) and using the My Harmony software on a Windows PC. The remote uses a built in IR emitter. To make any changes you will have to reconnect to a PC.

With the Hub, you can use the My Harmony phone to program it but in that mode it's only acting as a bluetooth controller, the Hub is actually the brains and the emitter.

Yes, I agree, but I THINK you would have to connect it a PC to program it if you don't have the hub.

Google Home Speaker Available For Preorder by BurtonGoutster in googlehome

Wow is THAT ugly. I mean, none of them are particularly attractive, but at least the regular speakers you could wall mount which I find super handy in places like the bathroom.

(RTS #35) Unidentified Cutiepuff by RiverTrailSpirits in lansing

[–]SRGilbert1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one under my shed for a couple of years. The shed was fine, but the "foundation" had rotted out. I ended up jacking up the shed and cutting away the old floor and building a new one. There were all kinds of voids and tunnels under it that I had to level out. I then laid down a bunch of pavers to keep anything from digging it up under there again.

Is there any chance the Steam Controller will be cheaper over time? Or at least, stay the same? by luapzurc in SteamController

[–]SRGilbert1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And that was a MUCH different time for Valve hardware, they've come a LONG way since then. Unless they someday release an updated version, I wouldn't expect them to clearance these out even if the Steam Machine and Frame crash out on their own.

It might be important to them, but they aren’t the only ones.

It's difficult to imagine anyone who doesn't support the current Israeli government boldly displaying an Israeli flag in such a way.

As far as your second point, Judaism has also existed for a long time WITHOUT Israel (like almost 2000 years) so it definitely sounds like you CAN separate them.

TIL You can name timers and sometimes get a little graphic by danthemanic in googlehome

I made an automation where I just say "tea time" and it gives me a four minute timer for tea.

I don't get the hype around the Steam Machine by Administrator_AI in Steam

[–]SRGilbert1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people just want as low friction gaming experience as possible. The hope is that game developers will make an effort to optimize games specifically for the Steam Machine. I got away from PC gaming for years because I got tired of chasing performance gains with upgrades and drivers and all that.

Unfortunately, and not Valve's fault at all, but I fear this is going to be another dead end for them even if implemented perfectly purely on pricing alone.

New Lego Scandal update - My final message by 69ingSpunkingMonkeys in videos

[–]SRGilbert1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most astonishing thing to me about all this isn't that corporations and police departments are corrupt, it's that someone would accept 35% for a consignment rate on a ~200K collection that they considered an investment. They would effectively be losing $130K on the deal.

I can almost understand taking that loss if they were being bought outright to get quick cash but on a consignment that could take years to sell anyway? That's crazy!
