I got a Google Nest Hub because it was on sale. I have no idea what to use it for, but hey, it gives good answers about the weather. Actually, really good answers, I asked "Will it rain today?" and it answered that it was a low chance, but a higher chance tomorrow.
I have some ideas about hooking it up to actual home automation when I can figure out something interesting to automate.

So I'm considering buying a cheap enough tablet instead. Any suggestions for a cheap but good/decent tablet I cam buy in Ireland/UK/Europe? Or should I get the port fixed? As it is, I keep having to move the charger around in the slot to get it to maybe charge, and once my hand is off it, it stops charging.
I named it Mitchell. It's mapping my downstairs at the moment. He seems cool.
Not because I'm particularly good at photography, but because I aspire to be and I love fancy technical toys
the most important part of being a photographer is spending all of your money on fancy toys
You might be able to replace the part yourself if it's too stupid expensive to get it done elsewhere.
Tablet: do you want an ipad or a windows tab? I like my Surface Pro...
Then on Monday, during an actual meeting, the left earbud stopped working. This time no amount of factory resets got it back up. They were in a Fedex box by that afternoon.
Almost two hundos is way too much to pay for beta testing your products, sorry Google. Fuckin f that.

Yeah, mine are great.
Though I did switch to Airpods Pro because I got them for half off through work. They're a lot more convenient to use with Apple stuff, but the sound is slightly worse.
I have a crufty old Roomba, and the battery in it died. I was seriously considering a Roborock, but I decided that a $60 battery replacement made more financial sense at the moment.
...so now I'm back to babysitting the Roomba when it decides it wants to wear the curtains or get stuck on every single floor-level cable.
Yay that fixed it.

I had to fiddle with them a bit to get them sounding the way I wanted, but since then they've been great.
The bug happens when you bookmark a thread with unread posts. Only bookmark threads after you opened them from threadlist.
we should probably change the thread title
Only because you work with undomesticated tech.
This is so dumb
Row row fight the powa
cross reference that with the topography of bumps on the skull and it's easy to determine which humans are of superior intellect and which are dangers to society and should be locked away without trial
Bit rich for you to say that, I've seen your eyebrows!
You got them young Pinochet eyebrows, don't deny it!
I'll have you know that my brow tilt is the same as Charles the Great, and my lobe slope is even steeper than Sir Sherlock Holmes' himself.
Meanwhile *you* have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!
Oh you bet your fucking LIFE I'll tilt a stagecoach! I've done it before and I'll do it again!
This is exactly how we get to the episode in Star Trek where the computer does the math on the interplanetary war and then tells how many people to execute instead of the people actually fighting.
Making a post is the only method that consistently works for me. I'm getting pretty sick of the bug.
i'll see myself out
hey so i just saw this headline and it confirms what has always been obvious to me; that measuring salinity of fluids inside the brain is an indicator of overall intelligence
after all I am known as a pretty smart person around here and apparently I have to cut back on salt because of blood pressure and therefore I must have high brain salinity
so obviously the way to achieve higher salinity is to eat more salt,
so logically we must conclude that avoiding fresh water will also increase our overall salt content (you don't want to dilute your salt levels)
i am relatively sure that if I go on a diet where I only eat potato chips and drink salt water I will be able to increase my intelligence by at least 10x
i just took a quick IQ test (I don't want to embarass anybody here but my score was very high) and now I am going to drink two litres of salt water and have this bag of ruffles and a bucket of kfc with extra gravy and then measure my iq again
once i have perfected this technique i will use my superior intellect to become a billionaire and then i'll really be able to show the haters who's boss
Oh, cool, someone figured out how to make smiling dystopic.
Also, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!1!
But Pokemon Go doesn’t work on it yet, so I guess I’m uninstalling it when I next get the chance.
Satans..... hints.....
You are right, making a post is the only way to repair a thread once it is bugged. But since I stopped boomarking threads with unread posts no new one got the bug for me.
