Google Home Progress

It's sad to say that Google again is failing to fix it's Nest disaster. They keep on making promises that they never keep and if it keeps up the future for Nest can be their end. 

Legacy Nest users can still use the old app but if you buy a new camera you are forced to use the Google Home app, now this does not make sense. And recording is just a mess, I am ready to throw in the towel and start looking for other alternatives. Thanks Google for wasting my money and making a new paperweight for my desk. 

If you are looking into Nest products, stop do your research and think again.

Amazon Miscalculation

Amazon recent promotions for managers faced a big problem. The software miscalculated employees who were promoted and affected a number of employees.
The problem was fixed immediately and employees were made aware of their updated compensation.

It's an unfortunate blunder for the big giant and I wonder how many managers took one for the team.

How much Internet Speed to I need

This is a question that I always get; it depends from person to person. Some users would need more speed if their kids do gaming or are running security cameras throughout their house and are using their wifi. But the majority of the users who do not have this problem can use the chart below.

Note : Don't fall for those salesman scams that you need gigabyte service. You are just wasting money. Gigabyte is way to advance and it will be a few more years before anyone trully gets full capacity. My advise is start low and gradually increase your internet plan as your broadband needs get bigger.
