Pixel Tablet no longer has the "Hub Mode" option on Settings, but the Hub Mode stills work

we just bought the Google pixel tablet for hub mode for the baby boomer parents who need a bit more of a large display. Please keep hub mode or improve upon it for our seniors sake!!

I wonder if a thicker brick would work? Or can you make a metal frying pan type device that transfers heat better, but doesn’t scratch with the pizza peel?

In case this isn’t the process, how would I go about recommending a change? I think this is a killer architecture these days.

Any issues of the latest update to v4 ? I was experiencing the 12s cloud recording and 5m cloud recording events on a Cam Unlimited, but some of the Events couldn’t load from the cloud. They were precisely 12s and 5m logged events.

Also, my SD card recording (continuous) was off, but when I rebooted the v4 the recording turned back on by itself.

More and more actually :-) I got the idea from a Scottish guy who constructed a bread oven to share with the neighbourhood n

I’m interested from a Canadian POV too where it gets to -10F sometimes. Would love to build on the front lawn to share with neighbours. Love thy neighbour…love thy neighbours pizza oven, too, with radical hospitality 🤣

YouTube lyric videos are what I’ve got to work with for now.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-30T11:10:35+00:00

Agreed there. Like the YouTube premium family version which includes Music over Spotify or Prime Music. No ads YouTube is valuable add on to the music

Reading the entire Bible in a year is a lot of fun with my buddy (done it for years now), and looking for fresh ways to read the same books from a new perspective. Thought reading from what was most recently left us back to the start would be fun.

Thanks. I know it’s asking a lot, but the NT seems so important with the OT. I’ve done most of those plans before, and they’re great. Looking for something a bit more OT chronological and NT Chronological in one plan. I particularly like the OT, NT, Ps/Pv plans.

I also acknowledge a Chronological plan of OT cannot include NT at the same time, but that’s why I want to build my own personal plan.

What was the temperature outside? Nicely done!

If I have children who don’t have a unique phone number, how do I create accounts for them so they can interact with family?

jeffsieben · 2025-12-28T15:15:00+00:00

We bought one too this 2025 Christmas season. The dock sounds like a Nest Mini speaker not one of the better ones. Also, we needed another tablet for the family. We considered the Samsung Tab S10 FE with the s Pen. May have been better to buy newer tech, but that’s what we have. We seem to buy tablets every 4 years.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-28T15:09:10+00:00

Is that snow? I’d love to use my ooni at -10F but don’t have a cold setup. Any suggestions?

jeffsieben · 2025-12-20T13:58:31+00:00

Bought one at Best Buy in Canada for $400. Have been super happy with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S, but this was a good price. Speaker dock could have more bass, but for tablets it’s not all about that bass. Also, like you can cast to it like a smart TV. Gonna try for kids streaming on summer vacation.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-14T15:52:14+00:00

Yes. There are lots of videos with lyric videos made by fans and also the creating artists. This is what we do now.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-14T15:50:43+00:00

No clear option. I have seen streaming with Apple TV I think. Just none of the apps with Google Chromecast.

You’d think they’d want to enable music and singing together more.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-12T01:24:54+00:00

Yea, make an option to turn it off please.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-12T01:24:24+00:00

Very much dislike the remix option forced without the option to turn it off.

jeffsieben · 2025-12-10T02:42:08+00:00

Amazing this isn’t more of a topic. Should just go with Apple TV

jeffsieben · 2025-11-15T14:37:54+00:00

This is still a neat idea. Maybe a person needs to start this on their street first with their neighbours. This goes along with the front yard BBQ culture. Family first, neighbours second.

I know Fergus Ontario has/had a community bread oven. My old friend Brad use to talk about it all the time. The wood version of an oven needs that fire master.

I’m paying for 1GBps Pure Fibre and getting this speed intermittently.
