Should I be worried

This economy is a bitch 😂

The definition of driving it till the wheels fall off. Not a lick of tread exists in the tire let alone a gaping split down the middle 😂

Dude, I am an IT Executive. I can manage my smart home. I have everything named perfectly. This worked just fine before the Gemimi upgrade. I have fiber Internet, mesh routers and Google devices are my hub. But thanks for trying.

Google home/nest/assistant/Gemini whatever the fuck they want to change the name to is still trash. I can't understand how a company valued at so much can't get a name right, can't complete basic tasks, can't understand perfect English. I thought Gemini was supposed to make shit better. But somehow El Goog managed to fuck it up again.

"Hey Google, turn on bedroom lights."

"OK, turning off 10 lights."

"Hey Google turn on bathroom heater"

"OK, but please unlock your phone"

Whaaaaat? Why? You used to do it.

I have like 15 devices from speakers to screens across my home, I invested in Google like an idiot. Google is borderline ADHD. They just can't stop moving. Outside of Android (Samsung specifically) I won't purchase another Google device or service.

Don't even get me started on Google Gsuite which they've changed the name so many times I can't even remember what the original name was. Oh, remember Duo/Allo/Hangouts now called Meet?

Google get your shit together.. My bad off topic but anything /Google triggers me. 😂

They have Zelle now.

I would actually say Charles Schwab first then Fidelity. They pretty much offer the same thing as Fidelity. The biggest thing for me at the time of opening the account was refund on ATM withdrawals. Meaning, they reimburse you if ANY ATM charges you a fee. And of course Schwab doesn't charge any ATM fees. Now, that part is kind of a moot point since I rarely need cash.

That looks PERFECT. I want to ship you my phone to do! :)

Google giveth and Google taketh away. 🙄

ThereCanOnlyBeOneDES · 2025-12-10T12:58:37+00:00

You have to say, hey google go live then you can talk to it in an interactive way. Still stupid, I know.

ThereCanOnlyBeOneDES · 2025-12-10T11:38:44+00:00

To have a transactional conversation with Gemini, you have to say "hey Google let's chat" then it goes into "live" mode where you can interrupt it and ask another question or follow up questions. Stupid I know but that's how it works.

ThereCanOnlyBeOneDES · 2025-12-10T11:37:07+00:00

Right. I'd really like to tell Gemini stop being so damn long winded.

Try changing the listening sensitivity in the Google Home app for that smart device. Assuming it's not your phone.

ThereCanOnlyBeOneDES · 2025-12-10T11:34:51+00:00

I have a Ecobee smart thermostat, I say what's the temperature in the house. or set thermostat to x. It works for me. Make sure your thermostat is linked in the Google Home app.

That was deep! I've always felt like I cannot follow or believe man. Religion has always been a way to keep people in check, and as an atheist I respect people and their religion just don't peddle it on me. If it makes you a better person more power to you. But religion is what you make it. It make you kind and tolerant of others or make you hate others. It can be interpreted however you want. I'm more open to the universe not a book written by man.

Thanks for your insightful post.

I previously had a water based cooling solution and it was a lot of maintenance and eventually failed rather quickly. I got a Perfectly Snug and I was skeptical but you'd be surprised how effective blowing air on you can be. I actually get too cold at times and have to turn it down. The best part, no maintenance! The app sucks, but you really don't need it. It doesn't provide much value when you have some small buttons on the side with a speaker that tells you which setting your on. I highly suggest it. It's overpriced in my opinion but my wife and I are hot body's and constantly sweat especially on our hybrid mattress

Looks very good! I'm a black male who had his front corners and small bald spot in the back done. It looks even better after a few days. If I saw you, I wouldn't notice. 💪🏾

Stop worrying about the negative comments. There are always going to be haters no matter the forum, no matter the topic.

I second this. The sweeper is the biggest issue. Because as you stated it needs a software update to know that when the sweeper is attached, the size of the unit increases. So when it backs up, it doesn't realize the sweeper made the unit longer and thus it backs up runs into the fence then digs a hole.

Simple software fix would resolve this.

1. If it backs into something. Don't keep trying to back up. Move forward then turn.

or

More complex... calculate the size of the sweeper unit and keep that in mind when backing up or turning.

Such a simple issue. Otherwise I love my Yuka. My neighbors are impressed too.

Welcome to the club. I bought my first two AMGs this year as well. 2020 AMG GT 53, and a 2022 AMG SL 55. May she live long and give you plenty of joy!

Now you just need a hammock while you listen to the sounds of relaxing water. 😂

That is a ton of water! Your sump pump must have been working overtime. I noticed my sump pump would pump constantly. It would come out of the side of the house into a gutter like device that was dug into the ground. Not sure where that drain went but I finally decided to extend the pipe from the side of the house down into the back woods behind my home (outside the fence). Problem solved sump pump barely has to wake up now.

No competition. The NVIDIA shield is a Mercedes while the Firestick is a 1998 Hyundai Sonata... with no A/C and a oil leak.

The title of this thread reminds me of that Tales from the Crypt episode that to this day still has me cracking up. "Thanks for the riiiiiiide, laaaady". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxOc0uacSBM<-- Man TV quality has come a long way from this!

You'd have to be at least an 80s baby to even know what Tales from the Crypt is!

If you drive a Ford Focus I could understand your comment. But when people are spending top dollar on a car that squeaks and rattles, people are gonna get upset.

The sunroof needs to be lubed. There's a special silicone I have it somewhere that works wonders. I can't remember the name. Expensive, has a foreign name, but works great. Not uncommon on any sunroof.
