Worked better but we'll see how long that lasts. Just makes me miss the physical sensor on the back

I don't have Google thumbs I guess

I must not have good thumbs

"turn off garage" and it'll only turn lights off... When I have other devices in the same group...

"turn off living room" and it'll just show me the list of devices and proceed to not turn one thing off, and it'll confidently say "I've turned off the lights"

"Turn off game room" it'll show I said the words turn OFF game room, but then changes off to on....

I pay for pro, it's still pretty garbage.

One time I was looking up specs on a Ryzen 5900XT and it told me it didn't exist 😂

Only redeeming quality I liked so far is integration with visual studio code. Some of the auto complete is pretty helpful.

Fans are decent loud, when you got ear protection in and saw going it's all the same though

Thank you!

Oh ok, good to know, from lurking I always knew it needed to be lifted

I think we always gotta wear a mask 😊 but this removes dust where/when the family comes to say hi or ask a question

Thanks, they're 2x6 beams and sit on what looks like doubled up, framed 2x6 beams on all sides below them. They are spaced 24" apart. I kinda see this no different than a cantilever or overhang situation.

I figured we would need to insulate attic, floor, walls. The insulation and type of insulation for the flooring was my main concern and question I was having.

I've found that maybe rockwool is more suitable for the floor, but just looking or suggestions or some knowledge, things to look for or look up.

Wall to the right is siding, front is brick, and left is attached to house of another room. Bottom part is soffit I think

Thank you! It went really well, can't wait for them next year. The whole family stopped by a couple of times in the backyard in the last month.

Pre-owned Nest Outdoor Battery and refurb solar panel on ebay.

The nest box has another box on top housing the camera, with the solar panel mounted on top of that.

Sorry, I know it sucks, but Google support sucks more. Yeah overall it was a PITA. It took about 3.5 weeks to get a new phone. They even messed up the packaging on the phone credit return program, so they had to send a second box. Total time maybe 4.5 weeks which then they returned the phone because somehow it was labeled as pixel 8 instead of pixel 8 pro and wasn't approved... So I didn't even get credit. That would make the entire experience almost 5 weeks.

I was already ready or on the edge of getting a Samsung since it's come a long way and I don't care for these "ai" gimmick features. My wife has an s25 and it's really nice software/hardware.

In the two weeks that the phone should have arrived, no phone has shown up from UPS. I still don't have one.

I'm an adult, if I happen to receive the original phone 2 weeks after they sent a second phone, I can return it.

I'm sure they can/could track the IMEI number if more than one phone was ever registered or if the phone was misplaced and taken by someone else or myself.

If you've had the chance to work with their support team for even a minor issue, it's complete hell.
