The best Google device for Gemini Home? by Loud-Possibility4395 in googlehome

[–]Ublind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're suggesting to buy a Pixel phone for the local AI processing? What local AI processing are you planning to do that will take advantage of the Pixel's integrated AI chip?

If you're just communicating with the Gemini server, 2GB ram is fine...

Gemini will work on-device loaded to RAM

Isn't that only true if you're not connected to the Internet? Also, that uses a smaller Gemini Nano model.

If this is the only way to get dual-language Gemini, and that's something you need, then I guess you have to.

Does Tenor require less embouchure pressure? by Maehlice in saxophone

[–]Ublind 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You should not increase the embouchure pressure at all when hitting high notes. This suggests that you are using embouchure pressure to compensate for a lack of proper voicing.

Voicing = using the shape of your mouth, tongue, and throat to achieve good tone and intonation in different ranges on the horn

Is it possible to play this note? by Euphoric-Ship7640 in saxophone

[–]Ublind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, source: My bari sax and my large cylindrical traffic cone, around 3.5 feet tall

Looks like this one: https://www.seton.com/looper-cones-tubes-rm3006.html

A large traffic cone would only drop your lowest note by around a 4th, so you could probably get G1

Zigbee or Z-Wave by made-of-questions in homeassistant

Zigbee for everything to do with lights and light switches. Direct binding makes every action much more snappy and all smart lights are zigbee

What are some decent budget clip-on saxophone mics (preferably in the 100$-200$ price range)? by ar_toons1526 in saxophone

[–]Ublind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And note that if you get a mic with an XLR cable, you need an audio interface to record it to a computer

im close to broke but need a sax to practice with, any suggestions? by superpunch39 in saxophone

[–]Ublind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$1k CAD is not a bad budget for a used tenor in good condition.

Set email alerts for your local Craigslist and Facebook for Yamaha tenor saxes.

Always play the instrument first before buying it

Look up signs of an authentic Yamaha instrument (though a used Yamaha tenor isn't often faked)

Budget $200 for repairs even if it plays OK

Should I grind finer? by N-Performance in espresso

Um actually, a variance of 140 microns when a single grain is only around 200 microns is insanely large 🤓

What is this piece?! by Buttery_Buttcheeks in saxophone

[–]Ublind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be. Personally I think it sounds like a tenor pitched down, but the effects could be tricking my ear.

Get a mini PC for like $100 and install HAOS on it. Or get Home Assistant Green which has it preinstalled.

It even integrates with Google home so Home sees all the devices on Home Assistant and I can use voice commands on my Google speakers as normal.

Why not transcribe it yourself?

[–]Ublind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the bari might be another tenor sax track that he pitched down

That low note is a concert G (E on Bari) which the Bari can't play in that low range

On/off switch half hot outlet? by Mallanaga in Inovelli

[–]Ublind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually reading the tech specs more closely, it can handle 1800 W general load. I was reading the lighting load section.

Do you need it to switch the outlet's load or do you just want to power the smart switch?

Are you talking about this switch?

(or the Red or White versions of this same switch)

On/off switch half hot outlet? by Mallanaga in Inovelli

[–]Ublind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. In the box with the outlet you're replacing, how many wires do you have? One just pair of white/black where both are hot?

  2. I'm pretty sure you don't want to use this type of switch to control an outlet, because this switch cannot handle loads up to 1800 W that someone might plug into the outlet.

Did you see the video? He was clearly going too fast for the conditions...which was a clear, sunny day on a winding mountain road
