The problem with these (and the Philips Hue) is that the light switch has to be left on all the time for them to be turned on and off with an app, Google, or Alexa. My kids would turn the lights off at the switch, rendering these useless.

YES!

I think processor upgrades are about the only thing left to make these perfect. I have a 65" 4k LG OLED, and would like the 77", but the previous iteration is still around $10k (was $20k until recently). I was excited to see that LG will have a “mid-grade” 77" OLED this year. Depending on price, I could be upgrading…

I bought 3 Samsung Evo cards last Christmas for my kids’ Kindles. All 3 have gone bad. Samsung warranty is hard to get through to, but has replaced all 3 (well, one is technically in the mail).

I keep hearing that it’s going to crash, but keep making money on it. At least this writer was willing to admit that they don’t fully understand it. As a counterpoint to the “it’s going to crash” argument, I’ve also seen analysts predict a $40k price by the end of next year. So, I’m going to hold onto the meager…

I think this would be a great car for us, but my wife is ready for a flashier badge, so we’ll end up with a less-reliable and much more expensive SUV like the Q7 or QX80. A compromise may be the MDX, but we’ll see.

Sorry, but the people I know who are into Bitcoin (and have been for a while) are far from idiots. My co-worker makes more off of his Bitcoin mining and selling than he does working here. He also cashes out frequently, so he and his 100k+ per year gains disagree with you. That’s a lot of jet skis. I know because I…

Was hoping for a deal on the Google WiFi 3 pack.

No discount on the “Fly More Combo” :(

Turns it into the shape of the Pixel 2 XL screen. LOL.

Great article. This is what I tell everyone about their phone and if they are shopping for a new computer or laptop. Midrange will do everything you want it to do and more. However, I tend to buy the nicest phone each year for myself and sell last year’s model to someone looking for a bargain.

This is absolutely correct. I’m getting pretty awesome battery life out of my Pixel 2 XL.

It looks like the feature hasn’t even been activated yet, and Google Home Support wasn’t able to tell me how it’ll work. I’m betting though that they’ll make it work like the dot to compete. 

Google does that. They may have even done it before Amazon.

Or to ask it a normal question. My Echo’s most common phrase is “Hmmm, I don’t know the answer to that”. When I ask my phone (Google Assistant) the same question, I get an answer.

I had a pretty terrible experience with Project Fi customer support recently. I was trying to remove my email address as the account owner, and make my daughter’s email address the account owner. I had to sign up for a new Fi account with her name, and they were supposed to just port the number right out, and right…

I have zero faith in Paxton Lynch, zero faith in Brock Osweiler (and don’t like him), and negative five faith in Trevor not-looking-up-how-to-spell-his-last-name-again. I think TSim is hurt and scared and ready to be the backup QB of the future. Really hoping that Chad Kelly is good or that the Broncos let someone…

Sounds like you got a bad deal. Several people got Pixels to replace theirs. Even out of warranty.

Doesn’t Weemo already do this? For a LOT cheaper?

Had a modified 2nd Gen that I sold when we were applying for a loan for our house. Reasoning was that I could get a 3rd gen after we closed on it. Since I was a homeowner, I thought it would be more adult to buy a new truck instead. The truck is useful, but I think maybe a used truck, and a 3rd gen V would make me…
