Should've went for the full 2 decillion

Same just gotta do this last dog food order..

I think it's mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.

They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.

Maybe there's other stuff I don't remember.. I've never used them, I've been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.

The lights we have definitely require the app and an account to get them to do anything other than solid white.

Thanks I will look into those products as well as Home Assistant. I've yet to pull the trigger on installing HA, I don't have a lot of devices that have made me want to use it yet. We only have a couple Google speakers and Chromecasts.

Apparently it's to detect nearby devices so that you don't have to pair the traditional way.

The other thing that bothers me about these lights is they have a built in microphone that listens for music playing and can adjust the lights to match the music. I haven't looked myself but some users on Reddit have posted about the amount of network activity with Govee cloud and Google Analytics being very high.

If I can isolate them from accessing the internet and connect through Home Assistant locally then I may keep them.. These are sort of a trial run for future permanent Christmas/Occasion lights on the outside of the house.

You can actually start collecting CPP at 60 and OAS at 65.

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven't played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

Have you read The Expanse? How does it compare?

I think it's debated a lot but from what I remember it's because the sky is a big empty space, the Eagles are sentient and do what they want, the nazgul patrol the sky and dead kings sense the ring. Sauron has an eye that is ever watching. It would've been too dangerous and risky to lose the ring for the Eagles while the enemy still lived.

I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn't nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I'm willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn't seem as good yet..

The dude abides 😎

My wife and I love white Russians. Lately we've been making our own coffee syrup, Havana 7 year rum and 10% cream. It's also very good.
