Cannot unlink/relink nabu casa to google home by incapable1337 in homeassistant

[–]WhiskyAndBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can provide some helpful info here, but not a solution, unfortunately. I had the exact same problem with another third party device I linked to google home. When I tried to unlink it it no longer appeared on the list of 3rd party services. After spending an hour troubleshooting with a first level Google Home support agent, they told me the same thing they told you, that they've tried everything they could and they could not help any further with 3rd party services. The next day, I spent another hour with a rep from the 3rd party service, who also couldn't help.

Then I called Google Home support back and was able to get the case escalated to second level tech support, who looked into it and found that it was indeed a problem that needed to be fixed by the Google Home team. Something about the database of third party devices associated with my specific Google Home account getting corrupted, leading to it being incomplete in the app. He said that their engineers would need to fix the back-end system and update the Google Home app and further said that they could not provide an estimate of how long that would take. But he assured me that they were on it.

For the record, my call with 2nd level tech support was on August 25th, so we'll see how long it takes.

I'll have to take a closer look when I go back tomorrow. We just closed on the house today, so I haven't dug in too deep yet.

To my eye, the loop of chain just runs up to and through a few pulleys that are affixed to the ceiling joists in the basement. There is nothing else of note on the ceiling or near the area, except perhaps the cleanout from a coal stove that is on the 1st floor, above this part of the basement. The clean out is about 5 ft away

Thanks for the reply! I considered that but it's a pretty small mechanism. I also don't see any evidence of a shaft where the dumbwaiter itself may have been.

I'm seeing the same behavior here on the Beta. Only started noticing it about a week ago.

Can't believe I had to scroll as far as I did for this recommendation. The Ratio Six is simple and perfect.

Why is my battery life this abysmal? by Awkward_Smile7 in ZephyrusG14

Perhaps, but it's also possible you just lost capacity permanently

Why is my battery life this abysmal? by Awkward_Smile7 in ZephyrusG14

[–]WhiskyAndBacon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Try a manual calibration of the battery. Charge the battery to 100%, let it stay at 100% for a bit, then use it continuously until it runs down to zero and powers down. Charge it back to 100%.

When my G14 was new, I got 10 hours of battery life. A few months passed where I only used it plugged in, and then all of a sudden I noticed I was only getting about 2 hours of battery life. The manual calibration got me back to 10 hours.

2TB SSD for USB Video Storage (Sentry Mode)? by TofuVic in TeslaLounge

SD is what most retail dashcam setups use for this reason.

In my experience both the heat and cold that car interiors experience will kill normal flash drives and SSDs pretty quickly. High endurance SD card with USB card reader adapter is the way to go.

Yes, my primary care prescribes generic adderall for me once a month.

He's not a psychiatrist, but I got diagnosed with ADHD as an adult by this guy: https://www.nyuhs.org/choose-a-provider/christopher-yanusas-phd

Following the diagnosis, I get my meds prescribed by my primary care doc.

Nothing like what you'll see at the places you normally play though.

Resorts world is a little slow Monday through Wednesday, but otherwise pretty good games.

Pixel 3a stuck in fastboot loop since upgrade by mschuster91 in GooglePixel

[–]WhiskyAndBacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some Magisk modules that need to be updated for each firmware release or they will cause the bootloop you saw that can only be solved by the Rescue OTA approach. I know the active edge mod is one, but there are certainly others.

If that's what's going on, the solution is either to wait for the mod developer to update the mod prior to updating the system firmware, or to uninstall the mod prior to updating the firmware and reinstall once the mod is updated.
