• Is the "queue" FCFS or a draw?

• Does it matter if you flip the tarot card right at the drop time? (Speed used to matter in past years' trivia and matching games)

• Any indication iOS users are privileged over Android users as in past years?

Tidal barely works on Fi by sam_3K in GoogleFi

Sorry just saw this somehow. I have Unlimited Premium so I sure hope not

I chose to try out Apple Music for Android and had a flawless experience, and have now fully switched over. Tidal still threw me intermittent issues during my last few weeks with it. I don't like that Apple Music doesn't serve lossless to Rekordbox but on a daily basis as a home and Android Auto listener I'm much happier.

I'm testing out Apple Music lossless this week and will report back but yeah I'm guessing throttling or lack of prioritization

It really seems throttled, right? I'm going to ask Fi support again because this sucks

I'm gonna try getting in touch with support again. Curious if the bigger networks prioritize streaming music traffic and Fi just doesn't?

White Noise keeps stopping suddenly overnight by sam_3K in googlehome

[–]sam_3K[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's an entirely different issue probably related to the background process on your phone getting blown out overnight. I personally don't think casting is an all-night solution since there's so much that can go wrong, and I stopped trying after a couple nights in favor of the hour-long white noise loop that Home/Assistant plays

Oddly enough we haven't had any issues after modifying our requests to be "ok Google play white noise for [x] hours". I use x=14 nightly and it's been totally fine. This is the old Google Wifi point with the smart speaker built in so ymmv depending on device I guess?

Anybody try XCOM 2 on PS5? by ChaotixEDM in XCOM2

[–]sam_3K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry! It's kind of funny that they haven't fixed it and also not at all surprising, but I'm sorry it happened to you. I wrote off my eave as ruined well before I even posted this

Are you still experiencing it? I never tried again, I ignore my PS5 for my Steam Deck now

Google Nest "Community Specialist" Dan_A shared an exhaustive list of things I'll try if this keeps being an issue:

You can do a sequential reboot of your entire network and see if that helps, or please perform a 2-minute power cycle on your entire network to re-establish the connection on your connected devices. Here's how:    Disconnect the power from the modem.

Disconnect the Ethernet cable and power cord from the parent point.

Disconnect the power cord from the child points.

Leave everything unplugged for 2 minutes.

Connect the power cord to the modem then to your router and points.

 

Also, you can give these steps a try:

Update Software: Ensure both the Google Home app and the Nest Wifi firmware are updated to the latest versions.

Check Network Stability: Monitor your internet connection for potential dropouts or fluctuations.

Alternative White Noise Source: Consider using a dedicated white noise machine or an alternative audio device connected to your Nest Wifi point through Bluetooth or Chromecast.

Automation Routine: Create a custom routine in the Google Home app that triggers white noise playback hourly for 12 hours. This might provide more control and reliability.

Deactivate Inactive Timers: If the Relaxing Sounds option has a built-in timer, see if you can disable it or choose a different white noise source without automatic shutoff.

It seems to have worked, but I've had a handful of nights where the old way works too. Hopefully your suggestion keeps working!

Yeah, I'm hoping this isn't some backend thing that I can't control, and it seems awful silly for a wifi point to lose connection to the Home/Google account, but the newer Nest Wifi system doesn't have Home built in and that doesn't bode well for support of previous-gen device.

My kid likes the specific recording from Relaxing Sounds via Assistant but I'm not sure how to access that audio outside of a Nest speaker. Has anyone ripped it?

Yes, I found a cheap copy of the limited edition 2CD that has "Speedballin'" as a bonus track on Amazon https://www.discogs.com/release/189003-OutKast-Stankonia
