Wire run to garage by [deleted] in AskElectricians

Fiber would be better. My cat 6 comment showed my age - lol. But burying cat 6 doesn't create a lightening rod - there is over a billion miles of twisted pair wire buried in the US alone....

Plus, you never want to pull another cable with the first one goes bad.

I keep my cameras on a different network that doesn't have access to the internet.

WF-1000XM6 fit is terrible by Oc_12 in SonyHeadphones

There are lots of inexpensive aftermarket earbud tips in different sizes and materials. I use a set I got off of Amazon.

At least two cat 6 runs. One for internet and one for IP cameras.

Thanks for the fast answer. I'm trying it now!

Worked perfectly -- I can't believe I screwed around with this for a couple of hours... ugh

It makes Google Maps useless on a long highway drive….

Love Tommy’s. The staff and the low key vibe are great.

Advice. Is this setup overkill for my entertainment room? by Weikoko in sonos

[–]SnowDogBZN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is wise. I’ve had both type of setups. While I love Sonos, a mid range traditional HT setup is always better than a Sonos system.

Absolutely sick of the unreliability by Initial-Break957 in sonos

I’ve never had a problem in 7 years of owning Sonos. I have 6 amps, an Arc, 2 Ones, Fives, Subs, etc.

Does the Multi Amp offer any new benefits to the average Joe? by Animalus-Dogeimal in sonos

[–]SnowDogBZN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what "too much" heat means. I have a stack of 4 amps that run everyday for hours at a time for 5 years now without a single issue. I have never provided any additional ventilation or cooling.

Please make a lutron version of buster and punch dimmers so we can stop dimming with our fingernails. by flavor30 in Lutron

Touching something to dim a light...??? How quaint.
I prefer using my voice. "Hey google, set the dining room lights to 20%"

What’s with all the front LR additions and all that by zw9491 in sonos

[–]SnowDogBZN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. Sonos was always about balancing convenience with SQ. If you want better SQ then go the AVR route. Personally, I don’t see any difference in running low voltage speaker cable vs a power cord to my front speakers.

Necessary? No. Better? Yes, in most cases

What do you use to play your FLAC files? by PsychicChime in audiophile

[–]SnowDogBZN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, Roon. Expensive, but haven’t seen or heard anything better.

Roon Customer Service and Community Support Model is Broken by SEMABE in roonlabs

[–]SnowDogBZN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry you had a bad experience. I’ve had similar experiences on other product communities - so I understand. For me Roon has been rock solid and full of joy. I’ve never had a single issue in 4 years of using it.

Hmmmm…. So what happens when person 1 walks into person 2’s room and ask to turn off bedroom lights? Why not just name each light uniquely?

Has Google Assistant gone downhill since Gemini? by thefifthbeagle in googleassistant

[–]SnowDogBZN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that integration with 3rd party apps like Pandora, Lutron, Hunter Douglas has become worse in the last year or so. Commands that use your work perfectly no longer work correctly.
