I'd love to replace one of my minis with this.

Yet we still can't get a live video feed of a Ring doorbell cam due to privacy restrictions. :(

Re: Tile to Relaunch Smart Alerts in December, Let You Set Any Location for Alerts

Rob Raymond — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 10:30:59 -0000

Same here. I also didn't like how you weren't able to add times to the alerts. I don't want to be notified each night / weekend I leave the house without my work ID.

Re: Google Home Mini Getting Major Update and Rebrand This Fall: Report

Rob Raymond — Fri, 23 Aug 2019 12:26:08 -0000

Correct, but that's not new. @Tim Kearn's comment made it seem like this would be new functionality (to make it worth it).

Re: Google Home Mini Getting Major Update and Rebrand This Fall: Report

I'm lost. Doesn't it inherently support Chromecast Audio? How is that different from me casting music to a Home Mini from Play Music or creating speaker groups?

I'm assuming this also includes HelloFax?

I'm able to see it, but mine doesn't reference "US" in the balance:

Re: Bell’s Crave to Offer Free TV Preview Weekend January 11-14

Rob Raymond — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 08:55:49 -0000

This post states: "iOS app maxes out at 720p". What's the limit on the Apple TV? Is it 1080 or 720?

Re: CBC TV for iOS Rebrands to ‘CBC Gem’, Also Available on Apple TV 4/4K

Rob Raymond — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 10:27:41 -0000

Does anyone know if they stream in 4K (on supported platforms)?

Re: Bell Launches Crave Apple TV App and iOS, Offers 50% Off Promo Until Dec. 10

Has anyone confirm whether or not we'll be able to watch live programming?

Re: RED releases spec sheet for the Hydrogen One smartphone

Rob Raymond — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 10:19:29 -0000

Has there been video posted of their holographic display yet? I've seen reactions to people seeing it, but never the device itself.

Re: All Assistant-enabled headphones now support real-time Google Translate

Rob Raymond — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:55:35 -0000

Well, I'm bilingual so if Jonathan and/or MobileSyrup want to send me a pair, I'd gladly let you know. :)

Re: Freedom Mobile Launches ‘Low-Cost’ $25/1GB, $15/250MB Plans, New Auto Pay Discount

Does anyone have the link to their new 1GB plan? It's not on their homepage, special offers, or plan pages.

Looking forward to seeing the digital well being stuff.

Re: Amazon Echo Spot Launches in Canada, Pricing at $169.99 as Pre-Orders Go Live

Rob Raymond — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 12:55:42 -0000

Conversely, still no news on Google Home to Google Home calling, which has been available on Echos for a while now. I'm sure this feature leap frogging will be the new norm for these products.

Re: Apple Ordered to Pay VirnetX $502.6 Million USD in Patent Dispute

Rob Raymond — Wed, 11 Apr 2018 12:53:48 -0000

I wish they would have reached an agreement. Facetime performance suffered when they had to switch to Akamai routing instead of the direct connections. I haven't noticed it lately, so I wonder if they were able to find a workaround the VirnetX patents?

Re: Amazon Launches Alexa Intercom Feature for Echo Devices in Canada, USA

Rob Raymond — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 14:59:25 -0000

I'd love the ability to actually have conversations between Google Homes (ie: kitchen Google Home calls downstairs' Mini.)

Just go out an buy a new computer, these processors have limited life anyway. You'll be doing yourself a favour :) /s

Re: How to Setup Twitter Two-Factor Authentication with 1Password’s Built-In Generator

Rob Raymond — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 08:58:39 -0000

I completely agree with you, convenience over security. Just enabling 2FA, even if it sits side by side with your password on the same device, is still better than nothing though.

Re: Telus Offers Free AirPods with Any iPhone Activation or Renewal

Rob Raymond — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 15:00:40 -0000

That's the case with some OEMs not shipping with USB C headphones. Last I checked, Google was one of them with the Pixel 2.

These are the wireless earbuds. The still come with a wired lightning pair (with stereo adapter).

Re: Tesla Supercharger in Ottawa Opens with 8 Stalls at CF Rideau Centre

Rob Raymond — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 13:47:03 -0000

I think that's OK. As an EV driver, I don't look for special treatment, just a plug to use :)

Not as bad as I thought, but still bitter about Ontario Liberals :)
