RMA'd my Nexus 6P and Google is giving me a Pixel XL

Did you have to pay for the replacement? I just replaced my Nexus 6p but went through the accident warranty. RMA cost me $80 even though the insurance was $99 which was annoying. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Yard drainage, water in basement, and hydrostatic pressure

one more thing to think about about purchasing the equipment, if you are regrading then most likely you will need to add fill, which will need to be delivered. You might need to hire someone anyway...With the water not draining from that hole that you dug probably means that you need to raise...

Yard drainage, water in basement, and hydrostatic pressure

Well the correct answer (at least for my building codes) for where should you put the water is suppose to be back into the ground. New constructions around me need to install an underground tank to store run off water that will seep back into the ground. With saying that my sump pump drains...

Yard drainage, water in basement, and hydrostatic pressure

Regrading is the best choice if you can. Check your building codes to see if you can dump the water into the street though. If regrading isn't an option then the outside drain would be my next choice. You want to stop the water from getting in instead of dealing with it after it is inside...

Nexus 6P battery & accessory search

My Nexus 6p has both issues. Horrible battery life and since the last Android upgrade will sometimes shut down with around 20% battery life left. It's very annoying... I also see general slow down and laggyness. It makes me wonder if there is a run away process that is killing my battery...

The Samsung SmartThings home automation thread

I meant that in order to control the Chromecasts audio by voice, you need to be near the Google Home, right? So if the google Home is in the kitchen then you can't tell it to play music if you are in the bedroom or is there a phone app to tell it to start the music? Your comment about Spotify...

Hi WilliamM2, quick question, in your third pic, there is a green plug next to the PVC drain pipe. Did your installer put that there or did you do it? I recently had Central air put in and my installer didn't plug this hole and cool air is blowing out of it. I assume it is safe to plug but I...

Be careful, mint is considered invasive and will take over if it isn't contained. If you do this then I would use pots or some sort of container so the plant doesn't take over.

I transferred my at&t number to project Fi with no issues. Google sends you a new sim card and then you initiate the transfer from the phone. I think it took about an hour to complete?

project fi is available for everyone now!

It's so easy to try out project Fi and switch back if you don't like it. You already have the 6P so you really don't have much to lose. I came from at&t and I'm finding the project fi coverage is as good or even better. I'm really liking the transcribing of my voice mails on project Fi.
