@usedbytes I wanted to bring my whole home audio in alongside the google audio so as to not have two speaker devices in each room. I think the spec sheet for the amplifier chip indicates it can take multiple audio streams. I might look into that. Or I can switch to Alexa with aux in.

@usedbytes Digging up an old topic here. Seems like audio is fed into the nest amplifier digitally. From your experience, do you think there's a way to inject external digital audio into the amplifier? Or more simply, did you see any way to inject analog audio into the amp directly?

I sorta miss the 2010 era of the internet. The net was established and we had always-on connections but it was small and everything was still new.

I'm starting a new venture to help make better products for people with ostomies. Donate to the GoFundMe campaign to help us get our first product out to the people who might need it. https://t.co/9v1xWl7WoN

@SquarespaceHelp at least 1/3 of my sites are down right now. Squarespace login fails too. Send help...and snacks

@handitvnetwork your channel is in the wrong aspect ratio. Star Trek, commercials, and probably other tv shows; though I mostly show up for the Star Trek.

Caremark has a great security question in their signup form:
"What is the name of your college?"
It's not like my college is listed on my resume, LinkedIn, or any other public forum. It was a nice try though.

@soniagupta504 Slight difference. No license needed to be a programmer. It's legal to start a code bootcamp. I have heard that you don't come out of coding bootcamp with the same knowledge that you do from a comp sci degree.

That said, I tell everyone to learn to code. Just need to start.

An interesting thing I learned this week: When outputting an STL from AutoCAD you can adjust the "resolution" by increasing the FACETRES value. This increases facet resolution.

@squarespace @SquarespaceHelp What are you folks doing over there? I have client websites that have gone down multiple times in the last 30 days.

I can control Philips Hue with my Crestron/ISY system. It was really simple to get it working. I wish I did this months ago. I followed this guide: https://t.co/W3Jd2P4RXF

I received two quotes for plastic composition analysis. One was under $1000 the other was more than $4000. I don't know which one is terribly priced. This is why you always get three bids.

@gallifreyan @ClifBar Maybe vibration on the production floor caused it to fall out and bounce onto a product line? Networking strikes again!

I spent the day at #xpand3d manufacturing conference today. I saw some really interesting manufacturing techniques and options for making new products in unique ways. https://t.co/qgJ6fYqQpg

had to fix my amazon dash button raspberry pi script. Script used to look for all IPs by using 0.0.0.0 but a new update broke this. You need to fill out the IP of the dash button or remove the filter completely. Original Post: https://t.co/Nvm2cbzplF

Spending some time learning about NTP and PTP. This write-up was worth the read.
