Man these home automation systems are constantly changing. I am dumping Smarthings after they forced everyone from the classic app as the performance in the new app is terrible. I am moving all my devices over to either my Ring Hub (Zwave stuff like my 30 GE light switches) or a 4th Gen Echo...
Yeah obviously I am not saying Texas doesn't have real racists. It does- especially on the far east side which is basically the deep south (aka where that poor man got killed).
But Texas is a big place and most of it is part of its own very district culture built around a frontier mentality. A...
No, you aren't wrong.
But I will say as someone who has lived in Texas and across the south that Texans do not embody the outright racism that can be seen elsewhere in the south where the color of someone's skin is too often assumed to be a character flaw.
Instead its pretty much all economic...
No, not at all. I consider your advice WAY above what I see elsewhere because I know you have the personal experience of doing this for years now.
Speaking of which, I would love to hear your thoughts on Smarthings for the long run. Does the new app or their new focus on mass user simplicity...
The Ring Pro came with my new house so I worked hard to make it work. It’s wifi chip really sucks, so much I had trouble keeping it hooked up to my Orbi (which is amazing with high end stuff but explodes with crappy stuff). Like my Orbi would freak out and the network would go down.
The...
Despite Wink winding down is this where we are still talking about home automation?
I tried getting the Nest smoke/CO detectors and I just wasn't impressed. I mean they are nice but they are expensive and I discovered a deal breaker for my wife.
I have 9 smoke detectors in the house so...
You 100% on Smarthings now?
I have liked the Ring, I have it set to turn on the lights outside if someone is at the door at night. The service is a little pricey but nice.
I wanted to ask: any advice for Smarthing compatible smoke and carbon monoxide detectors? I had some battery operated...
I have 35 Switch games but I keep coming back to Splatoon 2. It’s by far my favorite so far.
Also the Skull & Co. case makes handheld mode 10x as comfortable.
Just got a new house this year and I have been going all out with home automation.
My core is still my Smarthings hub, and my voice assistant of choice is Google. Every non bedroom or bathroom has either a real Google home, a mini Google home, or a third party Google home device (like the...
One alternative to a pile of Pro Controllers is the official Mario Kart wheels. Even if you don't use motion controls the wheels make each Joycon feel like a substantial and comfortable controller. I use the wheels when I play two player Tetris too. They are that good.
It has already gone on...
It was scheduled to be a 1995 game, so it would have had around a year on the market before the N64 hit. The problem was that Nintendo didn't know the N64 wasn't coming until 1996 until the last minute when it got delayed.
Personally I think the cost situation was overblown as the 32MB of...
That is the common understanding that is mostly correct, but really it is just a simplified version of what really happened.
The reality of what happened is that Nintendo back in the day (much like 1990's Sega) was going in many different directions at the same time. By the mid 1990's the SNES...
Yeah I think the lineup is much better than the NES Classic. Frankly I was kinda disappointed by the NES Classic- it had more games but so many misses (like Castlevania II over say Castlevania III). For the SNES Classic I can think of a reason for every game to be there and it has almost all of...
I have. It's cool, but it doesn't have the real final version of Starfox 2. The Starfox 2 ROMS on the internet are all early betas.
I didn't take the NES Classic seriously (it was never my favorite console), but with the gamelist I have to own one of these. I preordered on Amazon UK (for like...
Snake Pass is on sale on the eShop for anyone who wants it.
Also I have to say that Cave Story+ has quickly become my second favorite Switch game (to BOTW). I love the beautiful manual and the improvements made to the game (vs the PC or 3DS versions). It plays like a dream with the Pokken...
I am nervous that the design might be blocking the intake vent, but I am excited about a smaller dock. I would love to buy one just for trips. I will see what the reviews say.
Exactly why I rebought Has-Been-Heroes despite having a physical version. I traded in the physical version just...
I think it is 100% fixed (well except for not having cloud saves). I have transfered my account from one Switch to another and back without calling them or really any hassle. The Switch settings make it really easy to deactivate a Switch. It automatically installs games to a Micro SD when...
It's a pretty fun game, and my wife likes to play it which makes it worth the full $60 for me.
With that said its competitive nature is garbage because A. You are more competitive with a Pro Controller most likely but B. Playing that way is missing the point of the game.
I would recommend...
Two ways to get that cheaper:
1. Sign up for the Toys-R-Us mailing list and buy it when their 15% off everything sale they seem to do once every two months is going on.
2. Wait for a $15 of $75 Ebay coupon and use that (most likely on the Toys-R-Us Ebay store).
I got my second dock via...
To take that even a step further, Nintendo has very little among their first party IPs outside of big Zeldas and Marios (that come once a generation or so) to really appeal to core gamers like yourself. Metroid Prime 4 is the most important game for them this generation because since the last...
The only reason they announced this is so people wouldn't get pissed off that the 3DS got a new 2D Metroid game.
They actually learned their lesson after that Pokemon Direct. The also announced the Switch is getting a real Pokemon at E3 to do some damage control regarding that direct (and...
Actually the dock set is $90. I know that because I was ecstatic to be able to buy one for $75 (plus tax) recently. It is overpriced but it is cheaper than having a console for each of my tvs.
Good stuff. I have put together a little Linux machine just to play CS:Go at a desktop and I have wondering if the 750 ti I have or the 370 I have was the better choice. Looks like the answer is the 750 ti.
I use my blower model 480 in a Mini ITX HTPC just fine. I think the form factor matters more for Mini ITX. I will admit a blower model 1060 would probably be better but they are expensive.
