They need to cut the bottom of the box as well to let the air out. Otherwise you'll get a vaccum seal when trying to get the other box out.

If you set up all 5 colors at the points of a pentagram facing inward blasting a summoning chant at full volume you will open a portal to the netherworld and summon a spirit.

[@tobyriding3231]

The original should have made so much more use of the coloured lights. The boot up sequence is pretty much the only thing that uses them.

Dude I actually thought James was speaking during that segment

[@lisandroCT]

Why don't reviewers test the "ok, Google" detection when music is playing? 😖

[@yashptel]

It works pretty well with my old Google home. So you don't need to worry. But you're right they should test it.

[@lisandroCT]

@@yashptel Thank you. I have a few Minis and an old regular Home one but I'm latino (hence I have an accent) and when something is playing and circumstances are not perfect it gets definitely harder to trigger the assistant. When no music is happening, it works like a charm. So if that got improved, it would be a really compelling argument to upgrade even though I like the design of the old one more. The Apple Homepod mics work way better in that regard, in my experience. I would really like to see if there was an improvement.

[@PheonixRise666]

It might be so they aren't messing with other people's assistant's when they watch the video.

[@yashptel]

@@lisandroCT I hope there are improvements

[@blackpepper2610]

@@PheonixRise666 they can just mute the part when they call google assistant

[@NadDew]

Plot twist The switch for muting the mic is just for the speaker to stop responding to "ok Google or hey Google" but it still listening

[@zephnya]

Honestly, I only came here from Linus's MSI desktop video just to hear Riley play Crab Rave on the Google nest Audio which plays at 5:47 lmao

[@adam4954]

Same

[@MathMan271]

Possibly the greatest Riley video ever made

[@thomasherbert-jones7607]

Does the Mic mute switch actually disconnect the microphone or does it just tell the software to stop listening? This is important because if the switch disconnect the power / data connection to the microphone then it can’t be turned on, even if the device is infected with spyware. IOT Devices don’t exactly have a good reputation for security.

[@Jimmy_Jones]

How would you know?

[@KiJiHoon]

If you're connected to the internet, you're at risk.

[@MrToast72]

When google first released the idea of Google homes, the mic switch was first a button. With large feedback they turned that into a dedicated switch that physically disconnects the microphone from communicating with any other hardware module. Hope this helps

[@prathwik0]

It actually disconnects the microphone. Echo devices do it in software

When you were playing carpool critics and James was talking I almost completely forgot that you were testing the speaker and was wondering why James wasn't talking about the speaker it was that crisp

Not sure. From my headphone, James's sound from the speaker is too much bass compared to other James' other videos.

Cheapest sonos is the one rebranded by ikea “SYMFONISK”

[@AndreasElf]

It apparently sais Sonos on a tag on the speaker.

[@burntcustard]

I got a pair of these a few days ago. Sound quality is slightly better than one Sonos One, but they have more of an "annoying little Bluetooth speaker with the Bass turned up too loud" sound. If you're gonna spend $200 on speakers you can get way better sound with "proper" speakers, but the whole Googly-homely-ness of these is super convenient. I've started just using these for podcasts and phone calls, and (very conveniently, with voice) switching over to the Chromecast powered living room setup (with big KRKs) when listening to music.

[@mikeylopez7284]

Riley's approach to hosting is always great, you cant help but cheer him on.
