Oddbean new post about login | logout @d83d21a4 next up they need to implement this feature for Google Home devices. The assistant volume is the same as the main volume, so often I find it SHOUTS at me because I've been listening to the radio on a higher volume. You'd think it'd be simple and obvious.... noooo...
@88f809c5 seems silly that they don't have that option!
@d83d21a4 all the years I've been using Google Home devices there has seemingly been no real feature, functionality, or quality improvements. Just feels like another neglected/dead Google product really. They did make the app UI worse recently so there's still someone sat in a room hacking on it I guess.
@d83d21a4 I'm hoping to eventually replace it with something DIY, no more of this corporate cloud spyware garbage. Our two primary uses for it are listening to the radio and setting timers for cooking and other things, plus the odd alarm. Fun fact: in my last year at Uni I implemented a voice controlled robotics project (voice control core was CMU Sphinx). It's gotta have become easier in the ... yikes... 20 years since.
