    I was paying for Google Play Music in Ireland up until Wednesday or Thursday but went 'sub-continental' for YouTube Music and it still worked for me. Didn't work for family members though.

    How do you get the subcontinent price?

    Show him the URL points to google.com, and if he is still in doubt, get a new husband.

    That thread on HotUKDeals explains everything. There's a bit of initial messing but it's worth it.

    Found this deal on hotukdeals. Seems to be account specific so might not work for everybody.

    Looks like deal is not expired as I first thought so if you have either of the subscriptions check if you are eligible for this deal

    If you check from chrome with an account that's not eligible it says expired (this happens on my phone), but any other browser the offer is there for me (but when I enter my Google account I'm still not eligible obviously)

    So it's still open

    I'd be fairly handy knowing that Google is tracking all my net use and selling my data to whomever. But does this not seem a bit *too good* to be true. As in they are now just GIVING people microphones in their house for free on the basis it plays a few songs or what not. Like it's listening to you 24/7

    The one in the giveaway has a physical switch you can turn the microphone off. I know most people won't bother, but option is there.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Ours landed in Shannon and was forwarded for delivery. From previous experience it'll either return and the attempted delivery excuse will be used or it'll go to Newport Co Tipp instead of Mayo.
    Previously they passed it onto Fastway which are useless, hoping they switched to DPD instead.

    Got my 2, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but you cant link it to your phone, make and receive calls. What's the point of it!!

    "Google, what time is match on"?

    It's what you make of it!!

    Here's a few things for starters. Ask it play music, play radio channels, link your TV and make yourTV play X show on Netflix, make your TV change channel or increase volume, tell it to turn on, off or dim your lights, turn on the christmas tree lights socket, tell it turn off all devices, set reminders, set timers, ask it questions

    I have 5 of these in various rooms around the house. You can setup a home hub and control things like compatible smart bulbs, smart sockets, chrome cast on a dumb tv and even your home's smart heating system. You can also link it to your music streaming accounts such as Spotify, Deezer, etc. It will pretty much do similar to what Amazon's Alexa does.

    No more than the mic on your smart phone listening to your conversations or your GPS telling them your location. I actually pity them if they are listening to the conversations in my house. :P

    Seriously though, everything we do these days is gathered as information and used/passed on in some way so you can either accept it or be paranoid about it, not much else you can do other than ditch all technology and go live on the dark side of the moon.

    I know our phones do. I've tested it a few times by talking about needing cat food in the shopping (we don't have a cat) and the next few days, ads for cat food a d related stuff appear on our device apps. But I don't keep my phone with me when I leave/enter a room in the house. . Just wondering as you have 5, would you experience it more. Point taken by the way..

    I went into the hduk link on my phone and ordered for me, she went in on hers and got a different code and ordered for herself. I was out with my mum yesterday who is on our family plan and was able to order for her on her phone. Different codes each time.

    Is your wife's account in active use?

    Not sure about any others, but won't let me order on my account, says I'm not eligible.

    Possibly because I'm on rupee's plan, but seeing as how I'm paying €2.39 a month (about 30€ for the year) for a family plan, I'll note grumble too much about being excluded :o

    You need to have a card added to Google to get by checkout, it will not charge the card. This is the same for any e-commerce checkout.

    Your details and access to your personal information are they payment for the device, which is probably older stock they're looking to shift before they release the next product.

    You have to give access to most of your account information and details to use the device to full effect, which is where the money is at for Google.

    There's also the fact if you click a google affiliated link, app store etc... game or app that you might like, your details are already ready available stored on the google secure servers to go ahead with whatever payment necessary

    Would you give your payment details for an email? Nope, but a free device worth something, sure!

    Kinda like a classic bate and switch, only more bate and convenience factor maybe? idk :pac:
