Hardware time!

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Mesh router? WTF does that mean?

You buy multiple Google Wifis, and they connect to each other creating a "mesh" that blankets a space and prevents gaps in coverage. Devices seamlessly connect from on to the other.

 

[MisterCTwo]

At least he knows their supply was fucked up.

This.

I felt like I had to wait so long to be able to buy a Pixel XL I wound up passing on it. I'm hoping for better availability this time around.

 

[whatsinaname]

"Google Wifi the #1 selling mesh router"

A mesh router system that doesn't even let you change the default subnet. -_-

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Same here. I got mine this past July and I still love it. Best phone Google's released.

Got mine from the 6P replacement. Love the Pixel XL.

 

[imBask]

Google home needs a decent speaker

 

[bigred50]

So...not much hardware changes.

 

[snacknuts]

I need a pre-order link. >: |

 

[Sir Abacus]

I wonder how much stuff they're going to bring on device with this spiel. Traditionally Google has been dumb phone, smart cloud.

 

[Sauronych]

Time to start a drinking game for the phrase "radically helpful".

 

[Sir Abacus]

Ugh. Google Home. Invest squillions then shoot the entire thing in the head by playing ads to users. I would need something ironclad to ever invite a Google Home into my house.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

This seems kind of excessive with how many people keep coming on and off the stage. :|

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Does everyone have houses that look like that?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Does everyone have houses that look like that?

People who work at Google probably do.

 

[snacknuts]

This seems kind of excessive with how many people keep coming on and off the stage. :|

They don't have any presenters that are good enough at this to let them stay up on stage for too terribly long in one go.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Does everyone have houses that look like that?

Obviously! My entire home is made of felt.

 

[PoorChoices]

Most important question I have is can it actually decipher my wife's wine-drunk requests of "Google, call the pizza place, but not the Pizza Hut or the shitty one. Call the good one."?

 

[whitemex88]

Is it a youtube stream? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YGoxbeSzLc

Yeah but it's perfect now

 

[Aeana]

Google Yarn

 

[kaskade]

Love the look of that, my cat probably will too

 

[Hylian7]

Shooow me a headphone jack...

 

[sirap]

By the time AI gets good enough to understand drunk commands we'll be fighting Skynet with laser rifles lol.

 

[Rektash]

Love the look of that, my cat probably will too

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Cats will love destroying that thing as a pastime!

 

[Sir Abacus]

Google wants to do something miraculous?

Let me do this on live presentations.

 

[teiresias]

Better be a price drop on the full-size Home after Amazon's announcements the other day.

 

[Huntersknoll]

Love the look of that, my cat probably will too

My cat will LOVE pausing music and turning up the volume all the time.

 

[Shake Appeal]

"Okay, calling Pizza Hut."

 

[The Albatross]

GO INTO THE FUTURE

 

[Ensirius]

49 dollars
That's a great price

 

[Divvy]

Damn, that's a good price

 

[linkboy]

I think I'll be picking one of these up to replace my Echo Dot

 

[Aiii]

Seven whole countries, that’s grrreat, Google. Good on you.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Damn, that's a good price

Yeah. Might get it for my mom.

 

[Huntersknoll]

The commercial is really phenomenal

 

[Sir Abacus]

Wait. Does it have HDMI out or does it need a Chromecast?

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

The commercial is really phenomenal

Yeah that was quite slick

Wait. Does it have HDMI out or does it need a Chromecast?

Needs Chromecast

 

[Baroquemantic]

The commercial is really phenomenal

Yeah. I really liked it.

 

[Aeana]

Wait. Does it have HDMI out or does it need a Chromecast?

It communicates with Chromecast.

 

[shadow2810]

stream crashed or because I blocked ads on youtube, hmm

 

[Futureman]

Echo Dot looks so damn ugly compared to Mini.

 

[Fledz]

I have zero fucks left to give for Google Home.

 

[Sir Abacus]

Remember that Google Home revealed its monetization strategy earlier this year.

 

[Majine]

They said they were expanding the user base for Google Assistant in an unprecedented way, yet they add only one more country?

Seven countries? Really? Siri is in, what, 25? Pathetic.

 

[kaskade]

I am excited for this thing though. I have my Google Home in the office and I do want to expand it around but I don’t want to spend the money on having homes in other rooms.

Plus Sonos announced they will have Assisstant integration sometime next year which is what I really want.

 

[mnannola]

"Find my phone" will ring your phone even if it's on silent? That's kind of awesome.

 

[akileese]

Remember that Google Home revealed its monetization strategy earlier this year.

I don't believe anything like this has happened since then though?

 

[LogicStep]

Google home sounds pretty cool.

 

[Cake Boss]

"Find my phone" yes indeed, where the fuck is it Google?

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

Google home sounds pretty cool.

It is.

 

[Sir Abacus]

I don't believe anything like this has happened since then though?

Nope. But that one ad evaporated any interest I ever had in bringing home a Google Home.
