    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    I had one Echo for a while, then they added drop in and multi room music. And suddenly it was the cheapest setup for intercoms and whole home music. I have an Ecobee 4 I need to install which has Alexa as well. I'm at a bit of an impasse after that because I'm not sure what to do that doesn't...

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    I did the same. And have it loaded on an old phone, it's great. I've got the original Echo, three Dots and an Echo Show. I got the Show for $125 with the Black Friday deal and an Amazon moving coupon. It is the only one that's a bit iffy to me. It needs Netflix and then I'd have zero regrets...

    I have my LG TV connected through ARC HDMI to my Denon Receiver. When I go into input, it sees my Nvidia Shield is connected to my receiver via the "Media" HDMI slot. I just connected my new Xbox One S to the "Bluray" HDMI and it can't see it. I really like LG's magic remote, but this will...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    It has a lot of apps, but Hulu is in "beta" and doesn't do live TV. They don't have a YouTube TV app either. I haven't checked for PS VUE or DirecTV Now, but they weren't in the list when I was browsing. It's amazing.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I have a 2017 LG TV and an Nvidia Shield...why does it seem like SlingTV is the only option for live TV? Hulu Live does not work on either device. Youtube TV doesn't work on either device (and lol, the shield is Android TV). Haven't gotten to PS VUE or DirecTV Now but this whole thing seems...

    Occasionally you get a deal. But it's like 1 out of 1000 postings. And you either need to be lucky enough to see it first if it's buy it now or win a bid...but like almost everything with bids seems to go above market value. Especially with some of the crazy shipping prices.

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    Hmm definitely an idea I have a couple friends in that space. Thanks Zap. Also, small rant, fuck eBay, what is the use of eBay existing when everything is the same or more than Amazon, Jet or Walmart? Then people who ask for offers bitch when you make it lower than market value. It's so dumb.

    New house uses flood style bulbs in recessed lighting. Anyone know of a cheaper way to get the Philips Hue BR30? Buying in bulk for these things hurts.

    I have an Echo, an Echo Dot, Logitech Harmony Ultimate w/ Hub and when my new house is done I'll be using Hue, August and an Ecobee 4 (w/ Alexa)...think it's worth doing the Echo Pro to act as my main hub for everything?

    Yeah I'm going to spend a fortune doing this Hue stuff. But it's fun.

    How is this working for you? I am having a new house built and decided to get some hue stuff to play with. Until they are older we plan to let my kids have the basement to contain their toys and such. And I wanted to put a motion sensor to turn on the lights for them when they go down....but...

    This thread is decently long so I'm sorry if this has been covered. I'm moving into a new house soon, FIOS and a local cable company offer service. I've been thinking about just doing internet and then doing something like SlingTV or Hulu Live...but a friend bought up a good point. Is it true...

    I quit. Got to Gold I, and started running into heavily P2W guys and realized I stopped earning enough to upgrade in a meaningful manner when units were at like level 8.

    The P2W would come from being able to buy Titanic caches and unlock stuff like Core Ogre, Boomer, Sentry Tech etc. It's not impossible to win against them, but you definitely end up at a disadvantage. I'm Silver III now, run the below: Holo Grenadier Pyro Bruiser Grunt Captain Reserve...

    Selling your house is the most stressful thing I've ever encountered. And to be clear, I have three kids, my dad died 6 months after my son was born, my sister is a drug addict and was living with my mom...I mean I've dealt with some shit... I am just in knots waiting for this stupid...

    My wife and I use Cricket, it's awesome. I have never run into any speed issues. $70 a month combined is great. If you didn't know, it's just throttled AT&T. But like I said, YouTube, games like Vainglory, Netflix etc. Never a problem.

    Also, people seem to forget the crap before they brought Pixar into the fold properly. Really Disney is great at things like taking Beauty and the Beast and remaking the movie. In the end, fuck Avatar.

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    Disney's ineptitude has been covered up by buying Marvel and Star Wars. They fuck up a lot. And Avatar is going to be one of those fuck ups. One sequel gets made. That is it.

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    That's the problem and most people over 16 don't think of it fondly like Star Wars or Star Trek. It's just a random one off movie that showed off new technology, like that Final Fantasy movie. They are going to lose money on this.

    First bad Disney decision in a while was making "Avatar" land. The movie was weak, this is a waste of money.

    Marvel's Iron Fist

    The second half of Luke Cage with the magic bullets and the most terrible villain to grace a Marvel Netflix show (which is really saying something), really hurt Luke Cage...I liked the Colleen Wing and I actually thought the actor who played Ward did an amazing job. I think they should have...

    Marvel's Iron Fist

    Finished it. Kept my attention better than JJ and DDS2 but in the end the lack of a real compelling villain hurt. I think that's why DD S1 was good, the Kingpin.

    Marvel's Iron Fist

    I respect this. If you didn't like Luke Cage there is no reason you'd like Iron fist. And I agree the pacing has never been the strong point of these series'. I had a real hard time after the Punisher arc in DD S2.
