Govee vs Hue

Do you prefer Govee or Hue?
I started with Hue for the Ambilights with the hue app and added more and more products. In another room I used Govee because it’s cheaper.
I think Hue has overall better quality, but maybe I just had the cheaper Govee products. But Govee has much much cooler lamps

Hottub in Winter

To the people here with a hottub in the garden:
How often do you use in the winter?
I imagine it being so nice when it’s cold outside, maybe even snow lying around, and then jumping into the hot water

Why

Why do you have home theaters?
I don’t have one, currently I have more than the full Sonos setup in my living room and I dream of a proper home theater. But I was wondering why. I mean I love movies and gaming, also listening to music. And with such a setup it becomes amazing. But my main motivation for me is be fully immersed. I wanna stop thinking about anything, forget that I am me and be just with the movie, game or music. And I noticed something.
I started with just a soundbar and then gradually added more speakers. But my thoughts didn’t stop and I didn’t get immersed more. And I’m betting it won’t change with a proper HT. Don’t get me wrong it’s still amazing and I love it, but my main problem won’t be solved like that. My dream of a HT doesn’t come just from inspiration but also from restlessness. I mean if I didn’t have the problem anymore I’d probably still do it. I’m just reflecting

So many thoughts

I wanna tell you about my trip I had just now:
First I saw a white light that started to surround me. It had some 3D looking structures, like Cubes, and moving mandalas. I noticed I was smiling intensely, even though I did not feel like smiling. I didn’t actively smile, it happened automatically, which felt inauthentic.
And as I started coming down, but still high, I noticed I started to interpret. I was theorizing and analyzing and trying to frame my experience, not just the light, but my presence right now. My thoughts were so big. I felt them layered like an onion on the left half of my face. I deeply wanted to not analyze everything and just experience, but it didn’t work. When I stopped analyzing my experience, I started analyzing that I stopped analyzing. I bet with another hit or 2 I would stopped analyzing completely. I wondered how much of that transfers to everyday life. I usually am not very present in the moment, probably because I keep analyzing everything and trying to put everything in a frame that makes sense to me, instead of just sucking in what comes at me. I guess part of it is human and necessary for everyday life but it seems to me I do it too much. During the high all the analyzing felt like my enemy, but now after I came down, even though I do want my thoughts to be stiller, I also feel like I need to analyze what I experienced in order to understand the lesson that might be there for me. If I would not think about it, I might forget my desire for more peace and formless experience.
I had the sense that behind the analyzing and interpreting lies another world which i often try to find with my analyzing and especially interpreting from as much angles as possible, but it felt to me like I try opening a lock with my key, just to find out my key is actually the lock

More exciting weather than in Germany

I find the weather in Germany very boring. In the winter it’s just grey. In the summer it’s a lot of beautiful days, but also a lot of way too hot days. Some rain. But what I miss here is intense gloomy weather. Like intense rain or a storm or thunder. Not all the time but but every now and then. So it makes you appreciate natures raw power, if you know what I mean.
Does someone here know where a place exists, in which you have this kind of weather, and a summer and winter that’s not too brutal?

Do you think there will an option to play disc games on the PS6? A free download for owners of discs or something like that? Or do you think your discs will be trash?

Pressure

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Rancilio Silvia Pro X and noticed something about the pressure readings that I’m unsure about.
When the machine is off, the pressure reads 0 bar.
When I pull a shot, it goes up to around 9 bar, which seems correct.

However, when the machine is on (but not in Standby) but not pulling a shot, the pressure sometimes shows values like 3 bar, 6 bar, or even up to 8 bar.

For example:
Earlier, it was in standby at around 2 bar. As soon as I switched back to normal mode (but not yet pulling a shot), the pressure quickly rose to about 7 bar and then slowly fluctuated by roughly 1 bar.

I couldn’t find much information about this online.

Is this normal behavior for the Silvia Pro X, or could there be something wrong with my machine?

Books after watching the show

I watched everything so far (3x2) and I’m thinking about reading the books. How different from the show are they? I started watching the show maybe a week ago, I don’t wanna be too bored while reading because I already know everything

Sleep tracking and biological age

I want a fitness tracker for sleep tracking and something like a biological or fitness age or something like that. I have an Apple Watch but I can’t sleep with it, too annoying.
Which tracker can you recommend? I keep hearing the amazfit helio strip is good, but I think it doesn’t support an age feature, right?
Whoop is probably very good, but I wanna avoid subscriptions, at least expensive ones.
Any recommendations?

Distance ratio

When building a dedicated HT with 7.x.x, is there a good or even perfect ration between the distance from couch to fronts and couch to rears?
On most pictures the couch seems to be closer to the rears than the fronts.

Gaming in HT

To people with a dedicated room with Dolby Atmos:
How is gaming? I imagine it to be even a bigger difference to just a TV compared to movies, because some games make really good use of surround sound

Setup for living room

Right now I have the full Sonos setup in my living room and I’m very happy with it. I keep hearing from people how bad Sonos is compared to a proper setup. But since I’m renting, I’m perfectly happy right now, because it’s so simple and still so incredibly much better than just TV speakers. In the future though I might own a house. Then I would have a dedicated home theater with a proper setup and acoustic treatment plus the living room with a TV. In the living room I would also want a good setup. Would you just stick with Sonos because it’s simple and I still have the proper home theater or would you recommend me something else?
I like the multi room feature with Sonos, but I guess an Apple TV would do the trick too, with HomePods across the house. What do you think?
Good sound for movies and gaming will be importance, but since I’d have the home theater, music would be even more important
