Hi, I bought this unit about a week ago.
No prior experience with type of mixer, or any type of sound hardware/software for that matter.

This has been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It makes me extremely happy to hear my drum set with processed sound.

Younger generations don’t know how good they have it considering the first time the band I had in my teens tried to record, we did it using one of those long and thin microphones that came with your computer hardware.

Anyways. I’m baffled as to why the unit doesn’t have an on/off switch. After using it I generally log out from the app from the home screen and the unit powers down. I can’t turn it back on unless I unplug and plug back again which is pretty inconvenient/clunky.

Do you guys just leave it on? Is it bad for any of the hardware including phantom powered mics to do so?

I’m 38 and I don’t have nearly as much time for gaming as I used to, so I’ve realized I really prefer games that respect my time.

I just bought a Switch 2 mainly because of Ocarina of Time but I’d like to buy a few other games that are actually a good fit for me rather than just picking from the usual “best Switch games” lists.

Favorite games I can recall off the top of my head that I’ve played in the last 15 years or so are all Uncharted games, The Last of Us, 1+2 all God of War games, Zelda games, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, Bramble: The Mountain King. I also grew up loving older Final Fantasy games and several other RPGs.

What I’m mainly looking for is linear or semi-linear, story-driven action/adventure games with strong characters, good pacing, memorable environments, and a clear sense of progression. One thing I’ve loved about the naughty dog games is how good the story is.

I’m fine with some exploration and RPG elements, but I don’t want a game where I have to spend half my time crafting, managing tons of resources/builds, clearing a gigantic map full of icons, talking to every NPC in town just to figure out where the interesting content is, or a torturous difficult game like elden ring.

I’d much rather have a focused 10–30 hour game where I’m consistently moving forward or that has an amazing story than a 100-hour sandbox.

What Switch or Switch 2 games would you recommend based on that?

Appreciate any recommendation or guidance!

I have yard work scheduled every week and 8 cameras around my property. Is there a way to pause my notifications on all cameras at once for a period of time? Can’t find an easy way to do this and turning 8 cameras off and on individually is not really convenient.

I absolutely do not trust having my photos backed up in google photos. I do however want to create an album for my kitchen display. I’ve given google photos limited access to a fee photos but these are not showing as an option to upload to an album. Backup does not work unless I give the app full access. Has anyone encountered this issue?
