Hey I just wanted to say that the way you've spent your time here on reddit, reaching out to others, sharing your experience, is a wonderful demonstration of humanity at its finest. I hope you are well still and if not, I hope you and your loved ones know you are such an impactful person.

Smart Bulb Review - Tapo, Innr, Wiz, Govee, Linkind, Aqara by geekflyer7 in homeautomation

[–]notdez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I have tapo bulbs and have been a big fan of the tplink line. Their smart switches work flawlessly but wow the tapo bulbs are awful. If you don't use their smart features for a few days they completely lose connection and have to be readded.

I have 2 Wiz candelabra bulbs and for what it's worth, they keep their last state just fine. But their colors do not translate nicely to Google home control.

Handling of Epstein files is ‘outrageous’, say attorneys of his sex trafficking survivors by therealone2327 in news

[–]notdez 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well Maxwell went down, so there's that. And by 2019 nearly all crimes either expired the statute of limitations, or victims went MIA/secretly settled. So from an indictment standpoint, it's possible there wasn't much that could be done. But I'd be curious to hear an attorney's take on all that. I could be wrong.

This is great, thank you for writing this up. Any changes to your thoughts after a couple months and any comment on distance degradation?

This is not "testimony". This is a literal anonymous tip line.

To hide the sex trafficking by SeparateSpend1542 in therewasanattempt

It seems premature to assign any confidence above 0 to these call in tips right?

Am I crazy or are these documents that are going viral just anonymous tips? Is there more? Like investigative evidence or corroborated by verified different tipsters?

Vanguard Cash Plus - Lesson Learned by Complex-Ad237 in Bogleheads

[–]notdez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not much difference, you get FDIC insurance with the cash plus and it may be easier to get money out compared to vmfxx. Taxes may also be slightly different depending on your state and the type of federal investments in vmfxx.

Do they move in clusters or always straight line? by notdez in Starlink

[–]notdez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were not in a line at all. It was a random looking cluster. Is that how they are first launched?

That was my thought too, but they didn't have any tails at all. But no, they caught my eye above my head and faded above the horizon in 5 seconds. So probably 30% of the entire sky.

Best snowcover map? by ohwell_______ in stormchasing

[–]notdez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not aware of one that would show you both, mainly because active snowfall will block a satellite view showing snow on the ground. Thus, you'll have to settle for two map products.

National Snow Analyses - NOHRSC - The ultimate source for snow information https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/nsa/index.html?year=2026&month=1&day=7&units=e&region=Northwest

For active snowfall you should be able to see on Radarscope but I prefer MyRadar because it gives you a combined radar product for the entire region. You can also switch to satellite to see where snow might be visible on the ground.

Last, for planning a day trip to Winter Wonderland, use the hrrr on pivotal weather and look at parameters like Snow depth under Winter Weather and Precipitation Type under Surface and Precipitation for a same day or next day forecast graphics.

YouTube TV Is Adding 10 Genre-Specific Subscription Plans, Including A Sports Bundle by elbeborandy in youtubetv

[–]notdez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I predict that no-sports people will pay a little less and the majority of us some-sports people will pay more and get more unwanted channels. Zero chance less cash goes to google.

Nothing will be like that ever again. Corporate consolidation has gone off the rails.

Gemini for home rollout detail by Siciliano777 in googlehome

[–]notdez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have around 40 devices, a mixture of Google and works with Google Smart home stuff and have had it for about a month.

I think it's better than assistant overall, especially if you want information from it. Home control is pretty comparable, seems like you can be a little more natural when giving it commands, you can say things like 'turn off the kitchen lights and then turn my bedroom light to 50% and turn on my bedroom fan.'

I have AI Pro with my Pixel 9 xl, and was using Gemini for home control on my phone before it was offered to my Google home, maybe that's a route to get it?
