Working from home, but I need to remote in to my computer at the office. Thought I could use desktop mode to connect to my TV and use Windows Remote Desktop + Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Kind of works, but can't resize the Remote Desktop window, so it fails to give me the whole screen affect I...

Big fan of the 2nd screen. My biggest problem is that there's too much I want to do that requires removing the 2nd screen. Can't put it on the phone mount on my bike. Can't access the USB C port, and I have a little action camera that plugs in to that. Been trying out desktop mode, so I need...

Correct.

I e-mailed support (address from the Daydream shipping notice) to ask about the Dec. 31 deadline, since I had e-mailed previously and been told the deadline would be Jan. 15. Support responded almost immediately with the required code, and I was able to get the software bundle.

Ditto. Just got my shipping notice yesterday, too. ETA: end of next week.

I just e-mailed and heard back today. They repeated the 6-8 weeks. And they said the software redemption would be available until 1/15, which is still cutting it close, but hopefully that means they are at least expecting to fulfill everyone's order by then.

Approved on the 17th, good an "almost ready to ship" email on Nov. 23. Nothing since then.

Did you notice if they had the 64gb option?

32 or 64?

Maybe. Last night I pulled out my phone and said, " Okay, Google, wake me up at 6:45." Then Google Home, on a table in the living room, said, "Okay, setting alarm for 6:45am." I thought, "That's weird." and didn't give it any more thought until I woke up at 7:20 this morning. Did I sleep through...

Re: Do not buy a second Google Home if.... Home acts as a Chromecastable speaker, in addition to other things. Which is why I did my experiment. But Home is not just a chromecast device, so I can't say for certain that what I did would work with two Google Homes.

Re: Do not buy a second Google Home if.... Right, and the OP is talking about using two Homes to play two different things. Still don't know if that's possible using my workaround, but I can definitely play two different things on two different devices.

Re: Do not buy a second Google Home if.... Sounds like a different thing. Did you start the original cost with the same Home you made the second request on? I only have one Home, so I can't test this, but what I'm suggesting is using a third device to cast to your second Home. No way for me...

Re: Do not buy a second Google Home if.... I wonder if you can start playing music on one and Cast to the other. A pain, but maybe a workaround. I feel like Google is still trying to come to grips with multiple people using the same devices. Hopefully they'll figure it out.

My mistake. I thought the specs in the OP were complete, and I didn't see GPS in them.
