Podcasts about Google Nest

Marconi is haunted by how efficiently he's using his time now that he's finally sleeping like a grown-up. Eddie's unimpressed with the new Jon Hamm series on Apple TV+, and he's got thoughts about Google Nest, Windows 10, and LG phones all going *poof*. Meanwhile, the internet turns on Katy Perry—again—and she's definitely *not* laughing. All that and more, plus a Dollop of Joy to cleanse your palate.

The team discusses a major legal smackdown for Apple; new plans to label smartphones with battery life and repairability scores; and the mysterious ongoing cyber-attack on M&S. We also bid a resentful farewell to the first-generation Google Nest thermostat, and vote on whether the Netgear Nighthawk RS100 has what it takes to be crowned Hot Hardware of the Week.

Whether it is a passing interest in chasing DX, someone who is fully invested in chasing DX but needs the “next level” of information to continue their journey, or those amateurs that are interested in DX and want to learn more on a broad array of topics, we want to help them all along the journey. The format of these videos is a little different than other amateur radio channels for several reasons. First, it is not a host waxing philosophically about their personal experiences. The host will play the role of mediator ensuring that the topic is addressed while allowing flexibility for the guests to share experiences and knowledge. The host is the DX Mentor, not the DX Guru!

In today's Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece are joined by co-host of RNIB Tech Talk on RNIB Connect Radio, Callum Stoneman, to explore the world of Google smart homes and whether Google Assistant is better than Lady A (Amazon Alexa) at smart home tasks. Callum shares his unconventional smart home setup, featuring Google Nest devices without Google speakers, running everything through Sonos instead.We dive into the Nest vs. Ring debate, discussing why more users are moving away from Amazon's Ring ecosystem and into Google's Nest cameras and doorbells. Plus, we explore the Google Home app's accessibility, the challenges of smart home integration, and why Sonos' accessibility debacle left many blind users frustrated.

Guest: Brian Feenie   Guest Bio: With 30 years in the HVAC and Home Services Industry, Brian has worked with top companies like Lennox, Emerson/White Rodgers, Ferguson Enterprises, ServiceTitan, and Google Nest. For the past 15 years, he has focused on helping Home Services businesses implement technology across North America, including IoT (Internet of Things), smart products, SaaS, and productivity tools. Brian has also served as a business coach, bringing a unique perspective to the industry based on his time spent on the contracting side. Currently, Brian leads Business Development efforts at measureQuick, is the National Trainer for JB Industries Climate Class smart tools, and also serves as ACCA's Chief Encouragement Officer for their QI Certificate program.   Key Points: Career Journey and Shift to Entrepreneurship: Brian, had a 30-year career mostly in sales leadership roles. About 20 years in, his wife encouraged him to become a business owner. After being laid off from Google Nest, Brian decided to pursue his dream of starting Shift Logic, a business specializing in HVAC technology and software. He leveraged his background in sales and marketing, as well as relationships from his career, to take the leap into entrepreneurship.   Leveraging Relationships: A key element in Brian's success was asking for help and tapping into his network. He reached out to industry contacts, such as Jim Bergman from measureQuick, who helped promote him within the network, resulting in new clients. Brian also emphasized the importance of being intentional in building a professional network and using platforms like LinkedIn to stay visible and build credibility.   The Importance of Asking: Brian highlights the importance of asking for opportunities, noting that you don't get what you don't ask for. He encourages others to take risks, ask for opportunities, and take shots, as sales is fundamentally about asking for what you need.   Sales Leadership Philosophy: Brian reflects on his experience in sales leadership, stressing the importance of understanding the unique needs of each team member. He believes in leading by serving his team and making sure they feel supported in both their professional and personal growth. This approach creates a positive team culture, which is key for long-term success.   Managing a Sales Team: Brian shares that successful sales leadership requires understanding the personal motivations of team members, not just focusing on hitting numbers. He believes in a consultative approach, supporting individual growth, and helping team members navigate challenges. This approach fosters loyalty and drives success, as seen in the example of a former direct report who credited Brian for his professional development.   LinkedIn as a Tool for Growth: Brian is highly active on LinkedIn, using it to connect, mentor, and share his experiences. He views it as an excellent platform for building relationships and sharing professional insights.   Legacy and Giving Back: Brian values the impact he can have on others, particularly in mentoring and leadership. He finds satisfaction in helping others grow, noting that sales leadership is about more than just numbers—it's about changing lives and creating meaningful connections.       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault. The vault is packed full of free gifts from sales leaders, sales experts, marketing gurus and revenue generation experts.  Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.

In October 2022, the government of Ontario in Canada issued a directive to its Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to increase investments in energy efficiency and demand management; the lowest-cost ways of meeting system needs. These increased investments enabled additional demand-side management programming, including the "Save on Energy Peak Perks" program. Close coordination between the IESO, service provider EnergyHub, and partners including ecobee and Renew Home (formerly Google Nest) was essential to delivering rapid scale for the Peak Perks program.The result? Ontario IESO built Canada's largest VPP in just six months with the capacity to deliver a peak demand reduction of up to 90 MW, equivalent to taking a mid-sized Canadian city off the grid during peak times. Join us to learn more about how this program was developed and launched so quickly and effectively, as well as its lessons learned.

I apologize for not being here since I yelled at YouTube for several minutes in January. I've been busy with other projects and I've just not had anything I felt was worth talking about. Now I'm back because I have something I want to show you that I cannot do on YouTube. I want to show you a sound comparison of two devices I have in my room, one of which you will notice is noticeably going deaf from a technical standpoint. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Leo and Mikah tackle a wide range of tech questions from viewers, covering everything from backup strategies to AI's impact on creativity. The hosts are joined by the Home Theater Geek Scott Wilkinson, who shares an impressive DIY home theater, and travel expert Johnny Jet with essential tips for renewing your passport online and staying cool while traveling in Europe. Don't miss Leo and Mikah's thought-provoking discussion on the future of AI and human creativity! Google research paper suggests AI "breaking reality" is a feature, not a bug. The team discusses the implications. Mathematicians discover the fifth "busy beaver" number after 40 years. Leo attempts to explain this computational math milestone. Cloudflare launches tool to block AI bots from scraping websites, as 85% of Cloudflare customers want to block AI. Saudi Arabia aims to be the eSports capital of the world with a $60 million prize pool. Martin asks for advice on replacing his Drobo Mini for backing up 8 family members' computers. Leo and Mikah recommend using a NAS for network backups, Time Machine for local backups, and cloud services like Backblaze for offsite backup. Richard wonders if he needs to convert his hard drives from NTFS to APFS when moving from Windows to Mac for his large video collection. The hosts explain NTFS works fine on Mac and recommend using a Synology NAS with Plex as a centralized media server. Jeremy wants to set up cloud backup with versioning for his daughter's MacBook before she heads to college. Mikah suggests using Time Machine locally and Backblaze for cloud backup. The Home Theater Geek Scott Wilkinson showcases an impressive DIY basement home theater built for under $24K. Jim, a movie sound professional, is looking for a Windows word processor that can handle his 2000+ page book with many illustrations. The hosts caution against trying to run macOS on a PC and recommend trying LibreOffice. Matthew asks if using the Google Photos app on iPhone will create duplicates. Mikah doesn't think so but suggests running a short test. Graham wants to play Apple Podcasts on his Google Nest speakers.

While some see AI as a threat, Hans embraces it as a tool to enhance creativity. Paul troubleshoots an issue where he's not getting play-by-play audio on certain sports streams through his TV speakers, but it works through his soundbar. The hosts suggest it's likely an encoding compatibility issue with his TV. Johnny Jet shares his unfortunate tale of catching hand, foot and mouth disease right before a big trip to Europe. He offers tips on travel insurance, the risks of posting your info publicly, and renewing your passport online. Vidak from Montenegro is experiencing audio cut-outs when using his Focusrite Scarlett audio interface with his M2 MacBook Pro.
