[Download Google Home App For Mac Laptop

By the way - if you're not able to see your xCam2 cameras on your Touchscreen but can see them in the apps, there is a good chance that the cameras are paired to your private in-home WiFi, while your Touchscreen may be paired with the hidden Xfinity Home SSID being broadcast by your Gateway or Security Router. See this thread for a customer who had a similar circumstance - we should be able to resolve this.
While you're correct in that we would not support Android Emulators, I do have a couple myself and have been successful in using a number of apps, including the Xfinity Home app. A quick Google search should turn up some top options which are Windows compatible that you can experiment with.
I have created a Command Line Switch in Home assistant that is driven by a motion sensor automation to turn on the screen if someone is detected near the display. And turn it off after 4 minutes undetected.
Also, it would be great to have HAOS running, the lid closed and the monitor power off. It was possible with OpenMediaVault. I installed it to manage HA in docker. But I moved to HAOS to benefit from supervisor. /etc/systemd/logind.conf is read-only. sudo is not enabled. Any idea on that?
For anyone who has implemented this update before Feb 2023, please be aware that you may have to repeat this edit due to a new grub.cfg. My laptop lid has been closed all this time and I had no idea that the screen had been turned back on after a HASS OS update.
Thank you Darryl for your response but I am still confused. I would think that Private means nobody can access my laptop. Public means that my laptop would be accessible to anyone who wants to access my access codes, etc. Am I right? Or, does it mean the opposite?
Hi -TM_Darryl gives you the right info. Private network means a network in your house and that is not open for public. If your home network is set as public, ( no password required ) then you must set your Windows to public so the defense must be higher and not advisable !!!
Help! I have upgrade by laptop to an SSD. Previously I had MyCloud set up so I could use it home and away, and it appear in the Network of my computer as WDMYCLOUD, so I could use and update it within windows File Manager. I still have this set up on my desktop, but cannot seem to get back to that state on the laptop, and now going away for a while.
Currently for the single bay/single drive My Cloud models, the general subject of this (My Cloud) subforum one would use the MyCloud.com web portal to access a remote My Cloud device. Or use the insecure FTP option in the My Cloud Dashboard > Settings.
The My Cloud Desktop program which used to provide remote access to a My Cloud has been discontinued by WD (in 2016) and no longer works due to recent firmware upgrades to the single bay My Cloud units.

I could not answer you until I got home.
This is really driving me batty, it will not stay connected to my router, I have not got the wdcloud connected via a Kasa network plug so I can switch it on and off wherever I am. It can be working, leave the pc on, and then come back after lunch and it needs rebooting. Come on folk, please keep your answer simple, I am a female OAP with some system knowledge, and can access the router, but then today, when trying to look at its settings, it will not now let me put in my name, I can enter my password on my desktop. HELP! I might add that I can access it from outside the home, once I can wake it up, which is not first time every time, via my iphone app.
If you have forgotten the administrator password for the My Cloud (may be needed when accessing the My Cloud Dashboard), one can perform a 4 second reset using the reset button on the back of the My Cloud device to reset the administrator password back to default (blank).
For remote access to the My Cloud, assuming remote access is enabled and users granted remote access, one would use the MyCloud.com web portal or the My Cloud app for iOS or Android. WD removed the capability years ago to remote map a My Cloud using Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder.
It should be noted that using a Internet of Things smart plug to turn on and off the My Cloud may cause potential issues of the My Cloud not shutting down properly or even the possibility of data corruption. Generally NAS devices like the My Cloud are designed to be left on 24/7. Turning them off without properly shutting them down may cause possible issues if the My Cloud is writing data to the hard drive when power is removed.
Generally the My Cloud devices (and other NAS devices) are not simple plug and play devices with respect to remote/cloud access. There typically is some configuration that has to be done within the My Cloud Dashboard to get the remote access feature to work properly and for users to have proper remote access.
Most of the Indian IT companies, big or small, issue work laptops to their employees, junior or senior. The intention could vary from office to office, viz catering to important and critical issues on the production environment or an option to work from home once in a while. And almost everyone carries it back to their respective homes.
But, I am not in the production support role and I don't intend to carry it home. There are other colleagues too who are not in such roles but carry it back and forth to the office. It is such an onus, literally, on my shoulders. I have to ensure its safety while travelling, at home, rather treat it as a precious object that could be stolen at any time. I cannot be at peace even if I go on a one day vacation. The reasons could be many more. I just do not intend to take the work laptop home.
So, I have a problem and a solution but I wonder how gladly would my management accept it. Because, it is not being implemented at my office. If I state these reasons, I might come across as an irresponsible person who cannot take care of her belongings or as an employee who doesn't want to handle critical issues or whatever might come across their minds.
Dear team. Regarding the Asus ROG Strix Hero II serial number 123123321 I was issued yesterday, March 27. I will not be taking it home, so it will always be at the office 365/24. What should we do about security for it? Would you like me to attach a security cable or should I put it somewhere in particular overnight? What is best? Thanks Wonda.
You are very wise to never take a company laptop home. In general company laptops are simply a trick to get free work out of you. In most cases, such as your case, there's zero benefit to you. Smart choice.
So, the answer is, raise the issue as a question about security of the device in the office; it's then a fait accompli that you are not taking it home, and, at the same time you are clearly going on record that you will not be taking it home.
That's okay, as long as you're not expected to access some work resource for which you might need the laptop, it's perfectly fine not to carry the laptop back home (for safekeeping purpose only). The office should provide an option for safekeeping workplace-related valuables.
Ask your workplace resource team (or, your manager in absence of a WPR team) how to handle this. There should be policies for securing assets while you are away from desk (irrespective of the time period). Inquire about the policies - it'll help you achieve two things:
Most likely, the office should have a secure storage facility (a cupboard or a shared storage rack, with lock & key) to keep private things safe. If you have one, as long as you use that facility to store the laptop and related peripherals, it should not be your concern about the further safekeeping (i.e., the safety of the storage system itself).
The company I work for here in the UK asks that we take our laptops home. The stated reason is for business continuity. ie. if there was to be a fire or flood at my usual office, I could still work from home. For me, the transport is easy because I drive and the bag is not that heavy anyway.
There is not (usually) any expectation that I will continue working, or checking emails, at home after I have worked a day in the office, or in the morning before my usual start time. Of course, there are exceptions to this: I might be asked to do overtime, or there really is something that needs my urgent attention. In both cases, I would expect to get paid for this, and there's the bonus that it can make you look good in the eyes of your manager.
Taking my laptop home can also work to my advantage: I might ask to work from home if I need to wait in for a repair service or a delivery, and of course that time is billable to my employer as work. It is pretty easy and not much of a burden.
I might have a different viewpoint, if it was simply a means for my employer to have me available 24/7 and I let it be that; or if my laptop bag was very heavy and I had a long journey by foot and/or public transport.
My manager is asking me to take work laptop home because he says "I might need it anytime". Now I signed up for typical 8 hours 5 days a week developer job and I like to keep work things at workplace while my team members take it home. As I am a fresher I am not sure what the industry norm is about this but If I say no I might come up as someone is not very co-operative and not well integrated with the team in the eyes of my manager at the same time I don't want to work at non-working hours. How should I say no to this without risking the job?
Just refuse, but be prepared for repercussions, because refusing to do something and citing contracts and working hours is great in theory, but in practice it's not a good look although I would think that it's not something you'd get sacked over.
One possible strategy is you don't want to be responsible for the equipment at your place, because it's not safe at your domicile. That worked for me as a student living with several others in an apartment in a bad area.
