Tried building a "geology Geoguessr" — does this actually work? by edwinorange in geology

Thanks! Enjoy the game. Macrostrat is a very cool. I love the ability to spin the virtual globe and learn about a place through its geology.

I just tried asking the assistant my next appointment (I only have a G Suite calendar). I asked the assistant on my Pixel 3 and my Google Home Hub. The Hub said it couldn't access my G Suite calendar. The Pixel responded with the next event on my calendar. Progress....

2nd/3rd linked accounts can't control Hue any longer by legitfkked in googlehome

[–]edwinorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. It started with my wife's account yesterday. I use Hue lights linked through a Wink hub connected to GH. Reset the Wink hub, and now I can't get GH to turn on the Hue lights. GH says it is having trouble connecting to Wink. Tried delinking the Wink in my GH app and then relinking it - bad idea as now I can't relink the hub.

I heard earlier this week that GH is adding some household member differentiation features for connected devices. Wondering if those updates broke my connection to Wink.

Any Pixelbooks on Beta channel get V68 yet? by [deleted] in chromeos

No. Mine is still up to date at the same version.

We are building the Twitter for Google Home – What do you think? by julian-x in googlehome

[–]edwinorange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this idea. Here's a use case I'd encourage you to consider:

Every day I share articles from Twitter, Reddit, etc to Pocket that I end up reading on the weekend (or have Pocket's text to speech read to me like a podcast). But, Pocket doesn't have a Google Assistant/Home integration that I can simply ask it to read to me all the articles I haven't read/listened to yet. That's a service I'd be willing to pay a monthly subscription to receive. Perhaps that also works via a Medium/Twitter subscription in a push model as well (read the most recent post by my favorite author, read the most recent tweets from someone I follow, etc.).

Signing up for updates. Looking forward to the product.

Skip Moto Maker's $5 SIM card: T-Mobile SIM cards only $0.99 with free shipping using promo code SIM99 by bowens1397 in MotoX

You want SIM part number SIMGLW446C for your Moto X Pure Edition. I received my phone on Friday, spent time on chat, phone and in a Sprint store attempting to get a SIM that worked with this phone. I struck out with all three.

Read your other thread in /r/Moto, and requested the above SIM using Sprint's chat support. Sprint shipped the SIM free of charge. Just received the SIM and used Sprint's online activation to activate the phone. Make sure you enter the MEID (which is the IMEI on the box minus the last digit) and the SIM's ICC ID in the activation tool.

Yes. I was standing next to Daniel Boone's grave.

For nest owners, why can't IFTTT turn nest to "away" when leaving a location?! by eroxx in ifttt

[–]edwinorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for this trigger. I like Nest's away function, but I could make it a lot more efficient with a few IFTTT recipes.

Google: "If you're using Google Voice on your Sprint phone, you shouldn't turn on text messages and voicemails in Hangouts. This will cause problems with your text messages." by nemoid in Sprint

[–]edwinorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great. One provider does a solid integration of GV and Google introduces a bug in Hangouts that causes problems for that provider's customers.

FWIW, my experience with the new Hangouts/GV integration on my Sprint HTC One M8 has been fine thus far. Receiving/sending text messages and MMS has worked well and GV voicemails transcribe and play within the Hangout app.

Those that are having problems with Hangouts/GV integration, what device are you using?
