I was really hoping to see my Google cameras on the list of supported models. I'm expecting them to be EOL'd any day.

I am slowly migrating and replacing my way to an entirely self-hosted smart home setup, but my Google cameras were expensive and it would be fantastic to be able to flash and integrate them with the rest.

It's essentially a static image with a mouth moving when a sound plays. There's no real connection between what's being said and what shapes the mouth is making and the lack of any movement on the rest of the face is just incredibly awkward to watch. It might be a first step towards something great, but seems far too rough and early to be showing it off.

Please don't stink up HN comments with your fetish trash comments. This is one of the last places online where the comment section is still free from lazy puns, repeated jokes, one-word replies and sleaze.

How am I reading so many comments not realising this repo is tongue-in-cheek?

I like it. Nabbed a copy for $5 - feel like you should charge more than $3.50!

They now owned by Google but I find Waze to consistently provide better and faster routing (by car) than Google Maps when I use them both on my Android phone.

I genuinely worry about the day the SA forums get shut down for whatever reason. I've been posting there since 2003 and it's my first stop on the 'daily internet check' ritual.

Presumably it's a name for people from the US but I've never seen it before and it's not great.

On one hand I absolutely love Google's ecosystem and have an Android phone, use Gmail, have an nVidia Shield TV, use Android Pay, travel using Google Maps for transit every day, use Docs for work, Drive for all cloud storage needs and YouTube is YouTube.

On the other, being so reliant on one company for so much is bound to cause problems at some point.

I work in a school where we have a bunch of iPads that get passed around from classroom to classroom. They are terrible. I wish they'd purchased Chromebooks instead but iPads are more impressive on a list of school features.
