I got that goofy free Google home mini with my Spotify and set it up Friday but today it doesn't work and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Any ideas?
Put all your dumb computer, phone, and other electronics questions here.

Yeah my phone has the ability to listen in on me and record everything I do and I'm concerned the deep state is gonna get me

Alady what do you mean that it doesn’t work? Like it isn’t listening when you say stuff to it or it doesn’t work with your Spotify?

Like it's not responding. It's just sitting there staring at me.

How did you set it up?

Idk, just according to the instructions.
I figured I would be able to go back to it the next day and it would work the same.

If it's set up, it should be responding to your voice.
Is it plugged in? Can the Google Home app on your phone see it?

The speaker is showing in my Google home but not connected to wifi apparently?

There should be instructions or something in the Google Home app to reconnect it.

The only thing I can figure is that my work guest wifi is no longer allowing it to connect?

I would recommend using the Google Home app (if you aren't already using it) and have it connected to the same wireless network as your phone or whatever device you're using to set it up.

Have you tried burning your office to the ground?

Post by watts on Nov 13, 2019 14:21:44 GMT -6
I would not recommend setting up in an office environment since there are probably lots of network restrictions in play, especially with guest ones.

I mean, there's probably a lot of reasons I shouldn't have this at work.

Can anyone recommend a pair of bluetooth earbuds that have decent battery life?

I've heard the Jabra Elite 75t and Beats Powerbeats Pro are both among the best out there with the Beats having slightly longer battery life.

since we're on the subject of bose, does anyone have their sleep buds?
their batteries are super terrible - so bad they're discontinuing the product. mine don't work great, but when they do, they're super effective in helping me sleep, so i'm nervous that they'll just die someday.
anyone use other noise-masking buds? in the market for an alternative.

Can anyone recommend a pair of bluetooth earbuds that have decent battery life? If you want the best sound. Sony WF-1000XM3 or Galaxy Buds. Both of these have a downside of the call microphone not being that good. Airpods (Pro) if you own an iPhone. The ones Scoot linked above are great for working out. |

just got the Jabra Elite Active 65t and have liked them so far. The Jabra Elite 75t are supposed to be even better (Wirecutter approved)

My Acer laptop stopped charging the other day and I have no idea if it's an issue with the charger, the battery or something else.

That happened with my chromebook maybe twice and I just found some weird rebooting process that fixed it both times.
