How's your OnHub doing? Still pretty much the same as it was a year ago? Yeah, me too. Google never pushed many updates to the OnHub, which was supposed to be a hub of home automation. Hell, the USB port still doesn't work. The OnHub isn't dead, but Google is clearly moving on with the announcement of Google WiFi. This networking solution takes more of a mesh approach to cover your home, rather than using a single unit with a bunch of fancy antennas.


OnHub was a single router for the whole house. With Google WiFi, the idea is that you'll buy more than one. They connect to each other in mesh network, allowing for optimal coverage in your home. That's great if you've got a big house or just an old one with thick walls that kill WiFi signals. The system will move your connection from one router to another as you move around.

unlocked version available on their website. good luck getting support if it breaks, though.
just take it to your local google store and have them fix it or swap it :shrug:

In order to truly compete with Apple, Google will have to step up its customer support game. When something goes wrong with your iPhone, you go to the Apple Store. When you need help with the Pixel, you’ll open up the settings and hit the support tab. Google is running a 24-hour chat and phone support service — and when you call in, you can opt to show the rep your screen so they can walk you through whatever’s going wrong.

MISSED the live stream kuz of my class but watched the phone part rn and it was alright. surprised how aggressive and snarky they were, kind of out of character for google but refreshing i guess. anywayts, the google assistant seems to be all the old Google Now poo poo rolled into one, including the oft-ignored Google On Tap which nobody every used. Long story short ive always thot those assistant features were retarded and useless but whatever lol. phone looks cool. not going to replace my 6P quite yet tho. the pixel promo vid was cool, wonder if theyre gonna run it.

watching the video for the daydream vr it appears to be literally a viewmaster with sweat pants on. suits my needs i guess.

reminder that the google onhub doesn't support ipv6 because they didn't spring for a dedicated routing ASIC so all the routing is done in software so it doesn't have the power or memory to do ipv6 apparently.

ive come to terms with letting google spy me in exchange for good free services but the idea that id buy bugged hardware from them is ridiculous

talking mostly about the echo clone and the router but it also applies to the phone

the no room for ipv6 thing was a joke i made like four days ago but it does do all the routing in software and is extremely slow for it

omg what color base to get



initial thought:

mango: color of mango sentinal from marvel. very cool
teal: best color from star craft
purple: color of electricity and magic. hard to reists this pick.
white: We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children
black: slimming and always in style
copper: matches my pots
