Does anyone of you the security update will auto roll back then the phone auto restart after some time? Then the security update will warn the phone last security's update was more than 90 days ago and prompt you to update. I read online it's affecting pixel 7 and pro.

@KeYoKe there you go. Perfect scenario.

Basically I conclude it. We were discussing a few things. And KeYoke did mentioned before his Kyla IR smart station works by turning the fan on and lights etc. But when it comes to Google home, it ain't working.

I believe it is a case where by through the updates, or through time, somewhere in between they drop something in Google home. I guess that in order to support so many devices and brands. It gets tougher on Google end.

I think the most superior one would still be Samsung Smart Things control. But that is a bit of a learning curve to set up.

Yah but the convenience outweighs the headache. Hands full, walking towards room with baby on hand, just yell at Google to switch on ceiling fan. No need to hunt for remote or anything. Or switching off kitchen light from my bedroom.

Second this! I was leaning towards 1 brand, kyla to be exact, but i can only control my kdk fan in kyla app. I cant do so in google home and google home doesnt recognize the scenes i created in kyla app. I am now testing aqara and it works fine resolving every single thing i mentioned.. damn, smart home is poisonous

TBH, I would just get a fan with integrated smart features. You can look at PO Eco or something.

P7p so fast beaten for top spot by Huawei mate 50 pro liao. :s13:

Dxomark really promiscuous. :o

Adding this for good measure, though not that I agree that they should test all cameras on gcam mod. That would be redundant:

I do think dxomark is a good reference source if you zoom in to individual categories. Such as autofocus, exposure etc. At least their respective tests are more quantifiable than other reviewers and they show the results.

I personally also can vouch for some of their observations that no other review has. For example, all reviewers online were raving how fast the capture speed of Xiaomi 12s ultra is, but having used it for a while, I found it always lagged slightly when capturing fast moving object like kids. Dxomark was the only one that called it out correctly. Likewise everyone giving Samsung a free pass for their horrid laggy ass cameras, but dxo is the only one that shows on a graph how slow their capture speed is.

How dxo tabulate their final score is quite questionable but i still think if you look at their test in individual categories, it's still a good source to refer as no one else is as detailed and comprehensive.
