    And now they'll have the 'at least it's not $399' to fall back on now if it's higher than expected.

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

    I tried, but couldn't get through week 1 without Sunday Ticket, we paid for it on mom's account and used the digital access (wife could use the app on a console and I could stream from their website).

    I wonder if v1 Lighthouses will work w/ v2. Would consider keeping the whole thing and not try and flip it if that's the case. Not that I ever do that anyways (hi, stack of android and windows tablets in my office).

    Yeah, I use triggers for the stuff Alexa doesn't natively support (Hue scenes). We mostly just use off/on/set %, rather than the triggers.

    It doesnt. Amazon won't have anything unless the guy shouted the wake word as he was being murdered. 'Alexa, Bob is killing me'

    Angels Fall First seems really nice, in Early Access for a long time but developers are pretty active on the Steam forums. Looks like it'd be a fun LAN game. Also picked up Project Highrise because it's a modern Sim Tower.

    I almost went Lifx, but last thing I needed is more things on my wifi with the issues i've been having with it lately. Any quick and dirty suggestions for buying bulbs? I bought wife an ambiance kit and got a couple of the floodlight bulkbs for her crochet area (replacing similar bulbs)...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I'd take the Pats most days over the AFC field, I think the Raiders and Chiefs match up better against Dallas though. The pass rush is the big difference, need to challenge that line, and think they have the best chance. Pats and Steelers have a better chance if it's a shootout and the QBs...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    The Poe TD play was called "Bloated Tebow Pass" If Chiefs play at NE this year in the playoffs I am pretty sure my wife (Pats fan) and I are going. Otherwise, Chiefs play in Foxboro next year, hopefully not on a holiday. She's taken me to Arrowhead before, will be her first trip to Gillette.

    Anyone ever wonder how many great games they haven't discovered among the noise on Steam? This seems fun, maybe a great new game for our annual LAN in February.

    Yeah, I'm on a 21:9 1080p monitor and have a 1440p Qnix as my secondary, lol. For many that would be backwards, and I get that, but just love the ultrawide. Eventually I'll get a higher resolution 34".

    The hardware says it's a mobile device, nothing really changes that. The dock and related features are an effort to appeal to both crowds is all and unify their platform.

    Yeah, we use their apps instead of turning on a console. Before we cut the cord our Xbox One turned on and controlled everything via Kinect, now thanks to ARC the TV is the bossy one and the console is off. Netflix, Amazon and Youtube all work very well.
