For the people "saying product placement bla bla bla" I say if it is product placement. It's product placement done right. Great VID Linus

@LinusTechTips 7 лет назад

It's not, and there's no such thing as undisclosed product placement done right. If this was sponsored by Google, it would be obvious from the disclosure at the beginning of the video.

No 3.5mm output jack. Why does Silicon Valley hate headphone jacks so much?

@HackThePlanetNow 7 лет назад

Myrmidon honestly almost everything I have at this point is Bluetooth. I know it's not for everyone but personally I hate wires.

@__-cd9ug 7 лет назад

It's not "completely useless", but man that's against common sense. Like, the audio jack is one of the few things we've kept over the years and still use in our everyday lives. It does the job. Replacing it with fancy wireless headphones or accessories just for the $$$ is not progress. Some things don't need to go, just for the sake of "innovation".

@nikanj 7 лет назад

I have bluetooth earphones too but it's yet another device to keep charged so a phone with a headphone jack give me options. But on the subject of Google Home it would make a lot more sense to plug it directly into my receiver than get a Chromecast device and provide it with power. It'll probably sit on my TV unit right next to my receiver and without an audio jack there are more cables, more clutter plus it costs more. A line-out would only add pennies to the production cost of the unit so we all know the real reason they left it out was to sell Chromecase units.

@nikanj 7 лет назад

Exactly. Remember that time PCs and laptops stopped shipping with floppy drives to force people to adopt USB flash storage? Or that time they removed optical drives to force people to get their media and software online? Nope, never happened. If the technology is truly superior people will adopt it organically.

@WMDistraction 7 лет назад

Myrmidon, that's my thought on the problem, as well. Bluetooth is a pain in the ass to use because it doesn't work seamlessly all the time. There are many times where I have to troubleshoot my headphones. Like... I shouldn't have even had to have a reason to type that sentence. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO TROUBLESHOOT HEADPHONES? Plug them in and be done with it. Until we get to the point that I can press a button and say "pair" with no incident, give me my damn 3.5mm jack.

@smexehcougah3 5 лет назад

I've posted comments on every smart speaker review I've seen on RU-vid because by the fact that smart speakers are so popular, they clearly have SOME use. But for the life of me I can't figure out what they can do that the smart phones we all carry in our pockets can't. Seriously, every review and no-one ever responds. WHAT DO THEY DO?! WHO ARE THEY FOR?! Are they for people who can't figure out the hands free options on their phone? Do they have some functionality that I'm unaware of that can't be replicated on a smartphone? Do cheap phones suck at voice recognition? I NEED TO KNOW! I'm converting my home into a smart home and I feel like I must be stupid or missing something.

@coryzirk5299 5 лет назад

its more or less so you can leave your phone on your desk, and not be so reliant on it. Another AWESOME thing about them is you can play music through your whole house or across select speakers, or rooms! GREAT for say hosting. its also an impromptu phone in ever room you have one, so great for elderly and feeble folk. Its kinda for everyone man

@smexehcougah3 5 лет назад

Oh ok, that definitely clears things up, thank you!

@zactron1997 5 лет назад

@@coryzirk5299 also the voice recognition, though using the same software, is vastly superior on a dedicated Home or Echo due to the microphone array. I have both my phone can my Google Home Mini on my bed side table, and only the Mini will always hear me when I wake up and tell it to turn on the TV. Also the multiroom audio and idiot proof factor make it great for the rest of my family.

@zguy95135 7 лет назад

I have the always listening function turned off on my phone as well. It's very strange to see the younger generation (which I'm a part of) being so unconcerned by these giant corporations knowing everything about who you are, where you go and when, what you buy, being able to listen to you at any time, having cameras pointed at you in your home monitoring... You're giving them all this free information that they sell and collect. And now people are going out and BUYING "bugs" to put in their own homes to be monitored. It's very odd.

Just like a lot of stuff that is new in tech these days : Has potential to be good in future,but as of today it is just another thing to blow off your money to and deny any cases of buyer's remorse by trying very hard to justify the purchase.

If it hasn't come up yet, you can send text through Google home but you have to use IFTTT.

I'm with the guy at the computer at 3:30. I don't understand how anyone can enjoy listening to music from their phone's speaker(s). The quality is dreadful. For background music the Google Mini is not bad though!

@JackStrood 5 лет назад

You made my mini just called someone, they said "Hello" through the mini in my living room I was like WTF??!!

@elliemiller4634 5 лет назад

I just can’t, I know it’s ridiculous but I would never trust it, I would constantly be thinking it’s listening to me. I would be paranoid all the time.

@vibes8763 5 лет назад

so your phone does not have a microphone?

@onee 5 лет назад

People complaining that they will use this to spy on you, why the fuck do you own a smartphone, smart TV or a computer then?

@JoelinLBK 7 лет назад

@joseherrera8489 7 лет назад

the lights are rgb even though they display white the majority of the time.

It would be cool if we could use Google Docs with Google Home Mini. This way you could write up your school essays by speaking to it instead of actually typing it.

@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav 7 лет назад

If you have android it will work

@thehunter4873 7 лет назад

lui6link having a google phone or not doesn’t affect this at all, though I would say compare this to the echo dot

@RJT80 7 лет назад

lui6link Depends. I mostly use smart speaks to stream radio anyhow. I can count on my hands the amount of times I have asked it something or set a reminder. With the added free calling it is also great if you have a prepaid account. Using it allows me to keep my phone bill at under $40.

@3of12 7 лет назад

All you need is a google account really.

@BobBobson 7 лет назад

No. You'll need to mute the microphone before watching anything that might contain anything that would trigger it. My roomie's Google Home is sitting unplugged. This video made it call some random person. Other videos have had it look stuff up, play music, and even set an alarm for 4am. I've spent more time fixing things that've fucked up with it than actually using it.

@caprica_13 4 года назад

this video triggered my google home mini... can you please not say hey google in your videos? I had to frantically stop mine from calling the closest pizza place

@Juhuuu 7 лет назад

I live in finland. If someone knows our accent, it's pretty sure none of these smart assistants would understand that reliably. And I don't speak English naturally and we are quite a ways away from other languages especially as exotic as Finnish. I crie evri tiem.😭

@Ebaggens2 7 лет назад

Juho Leiniö i understand your pain i can speak finnish and it has affected how i can talk but so far most of these things work

@thehunter4873 7 лет назад

Juho Leiniö doesn’t it learn finish from finish people though so would know your accent? What’s hard is being a Geordie (look it up if you don’t know) and using this since we replace a big chunk of the English language with slang
