keep roasting Google Home Team. They deserve it. They really dropped the ball on Nest cams. They come across as extremely arrogant.
thank you for bringing more bugs and not fixing old ones, looks like login fun time starting may 16th, cant wait
There are no truer wordsā¦ and Amazon is the king at this.
Seems so. TinyCam also stopped working; Alexey said that this change from Wyze broke his app.
True, but not everyone can afford to go out and buy a new phone every time one company or another updates software. I would need to think long and hard about buying a new iPhone just because of an updated Wyze app. Iād probably give up Wyze because it is less important than $1,500 for a new phone.
I already have a key for HA. What I would like to know is do I need a new one and, if so, when? Likewise for Alexa and IFTTT.
I have about this much 
experience with Alexa, because I was using Google Home for several years before I ever owned an Echo device, but Iāll take you at your word. Whatās really frustratingāand this happens much more than it shouldāis when a voice command that Iāve used for years suddenly ceases to have the desired effect because Google changed something on their server processing end or pushed out a device update or both, and thereās no warning. You just say what youāre used to saying, and Assistant be all, like, āBruhā¦what?!ā
That is true. Whatās also true is that companiesālike their customersāhave limited resources, which makes it impossible to perpetually support aged-out technology in addition to all the new things coming down the pike. They have to make their decisions somewhere (as do Apple and Google, so some of the blame can be shifted there, as well), and we, as customers, also get to make decisions about how weāre going to deal with that inevitable change.
Every I.T. developer, engineer, or security person tries to make a āforeverā thing. But, we canāt see the future. The development of new hardware (standards), new software, new security protocols, new hack tools, make it IMPOSSIBLEā¦ let me say that againā¦ IMPOSSIBLE to make something that is bullet-proof forever. Sometimes things come along and a company has to decide to cut-bait at some place or time in the development cycle. They simply cannot devote any more resources to making your Chevy Vega run.
It is Mooreās law. The technology doubles all the timeā¦ so do the threatsā¦ so does the advancement of tools. We humans out-innovate ourselves ALL the time. Itās not cheap. Itās never meant to cater to a budget. Itās human innovation at a price and unfortunately; those of us who are less fortunate in our circumstances, get left behind or our arms twisted to keep up.
I donāt know if there is a solution to the problem because innovation and security cost money. Plain and simple. Everyone complains that a budget camera company seems to go about security as a budget camera companyā¦ cheap.
They are damned if they tighten the screws and damned if they donāt. Iām going to tighten the screw myselfā¦ the gains outweigh the losses every time. Thatās why companies do it. Cost of doing business.
My laptop is probably 15 years old, runs a current version of Ubuntu without issue. My Amcrest cameras are configured and accessible via a web browser and/or an iOS app. All data is stored locally on sd cards and my NVR, no cloud needed. Nor do I have to buy a new phone just to continue using them or a subscription to get them to detect people or vehicles.
Guess which cameras Iāll be buying in the future for about $50 each?
I try to get as much use out of my hardware as possible too. I just updated a 12 year old Lenovo laptop to Windows 11 with Rufus. I donāt do any gaming but it runs great for my needs.
Oh, no, I doubt it. Not unless youāve had yours for a year already. They only last for 1 year:
I wonder what the rate limit is though.Iām a little afraid I might have problems with that.
Is the Google Home Team AMA info available to see?
I read an article about it that summarized it. They said it was on Reddit. I suspect they were summarizing this thread:
I have a look at the reddit stream in link you provided.
is there anyway to search and see the Google Home team responses to customer questions? Comments?
Annoyingly, Reddit seems to have done an update recently where comments get collapsed by default. But it looks like if you can get all the comments to be open, then you can search for one of these words:
I think āManagerā or that username is the best bet. But the main problem is getting reddit to stop collapsing all comments by default. I donāt like that change.
Intact insurance told me to get a new phone as thier MY DRIVE app dosent work on my oldwr samsungā¦ Guess who I dont use anymoreā¦ Fix app.
Iāve successfully created my API token, but login still requires email and password. My account was created with Google, so I donāt have one. How do I make use of the API key this way? Sorry if this was covered somewhere but I canāt seem to find it.
This is silly
Itās a marketing ploy to text us daily
Takes 6 numbers to get access to a phone
Control your phone
