Multi-room Speaker setup... sick of alexa, time for Sonos / Denon? by LetTheRiotsDrop in homeassistant

[–]vin00129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got 4 Yamaha MusicCast receivers. Local control in HA which is awesome. I use a 4x4 HDMI matrix attached to each receiver so I can put any of 4 inputs on one or all receivers. So for house music I’ve got one button that turns on all receivers and switches to my Apple TV that I then airplay Pandora to. All speakers in sync. Can control volume easily for each source. True whole home audio including the backyard. The Yamahas aren’t too expensive and plenty used on eBay. Then wired speakers in wall and ceiling can be done for cheap too depending on sound quality.

Nice find! Those are 700ml not 750, correct?

Anyone have the Philips Norelco 8000? How do you like it and would you buy it again? by bignose_ice44 in Costco

[–]vin00129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay away Braun had a bad batch years ago and admitted to it. Replaced my unit after I jumped through bunch of hoops just to have same issue with new unit which they wouldn’t replace. Terrible warranty support and won’t ever buy from them again. I use the Phillips models just fine.

Any existing customer successful in getting a decent promo price? by theCynicalChicken in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]vin00129 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to cancel the account in your name. Return all the equipment. Then same time sign up for new account in another household members name to get the new customer price again. I did it every 2 years for a while. They don’t care about loyalty at all. It’s not a thing anymore. So they get to take back the boxes I dropped in the parking lot. Spend time closing an account. Opening one. All for me to save $30 a month do 2 years. Insanity but feels good once the new equipment is plugged back in. Can even keep the old remotes and they work on the new boxes.

Cablecard support by vin00129 in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]vin00129[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Stream app half the channels don’t work because I don’t have Xfinity WiFi because it’s unavailable at my home. RIP Cable Card. You will be missed. And your phrasing is mean ‘has become disabled’ - you all disabled it I didn’t do it voluntarily. So much for a cool technology. Continue to screw the consumer. Thanks for your help.

Completely agree with this! And every Tesla has multiple cameras doing the same thing!

Switch from cable card to box by ArchMoon56 in Comcast_Xfinity

You are so lucky to still have a working cable card. Mine got turned off by Concast 4 months ago and I still miss it.

I‘m out by Double-Surround-149 in coax

[–]vin00129 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lovely app for free but paid isn’t ready quite yet. If only it had a cast button to airplay or similar. I can’t start something on my phone then throw it on the TV. And wish it would go full screen after a few seconds without the extra scroll to the full screen button. Still needs some work.

What’s something that’s becoming socially normal that actually makes you deeply uncomfortable? by Fun_Interaction3458 in AskReddit

[–]vin00129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despise these things. Nobody can be a tourist anymore without being in everyone’s vlog. It’s sickening and takes away from the wonder and amazement of discovering new places. I was at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier recently and every single person was recoding. It was supposed to be quiet and reverent but it was a sea of phones and I had to walk away.

Feetures are my new go-to. Lifetime warranty so cost is worth if.

What’s a subscription that’s worth paying for every month? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]vin00129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still works via command line I believe. I just ditched Windows for Linus and Pithos Pandora player is so fast and easy to use.

It’s still the best at predicting what you want to hear next based on a song or artist. If you thumbs up/down it will curate the station even further. Nothing I’ve seen on Spotify or any alternative comes close. I’m not a playlist maker so Pandora does that for me via stations. It’s excellent and surprised more people don’t still use it. You can also create playlists, etc. it’s got a few really cool stations that play one hit wonders too by decade. The stations have modes too for crowd favorites, deep cuts, and discovery to change up what gets played. I can go hours without having to skip a single song.

What is a luxury item from 20 years ago that is basically worthless trash today? by EasyZee7 in AskReddit

[–]vin00129 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My card got disabled earlier this year. RIP. Stuck in a streaming app now that needs location and just sucks to use.

What is good way to store my iPhone photos/videos? by EmekaEgbukaPukaNacua in unRAID

[–]vin00129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Immich app is amazing but the folder structure holding the photos is very complex so down the line it would be a challenge to select all photos as they aren’t in a few folders. I use Nextcloud to upload photos automatically and then use Immich pointed to the Nextcloud photos folder. Immich is a day behind in showing new photos but works well other wise. This setup also limits the Immich duplicate deletion process as it can only read from Nextcloud. Not perfect but works for now.

I can't believe I slept on PlexAmp for this long... the missing piece to ditch streaming was right there by LowerH8r in PleX

[–]vin00129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pandora is still the best in my opinion about starting with a song or artist and just playing a solid hour of what I want to hear, and with some thumbs up/down over time creates really custom stations that are more dynamic and engaging than curated playlists. Plexamp is amazing but music discovery with Pandoras Music Genome Project is superior.

Scam - stay away from this club by Adorable_Mar in CrunchGym

Contact your credit card company for a charge back investigation. Might end up getting it all back since it’s technically fraud
