Google Home users are reporting issues when attempting to play uploaded music with Play Music
More than a year after its initial release, Google Home still doesn’t support independent volume levels for Assistant and music

Poll: Do you own a Google Home?
The Google Home is a fantastic device in my opinion. Powered by the Google Assistant, it’s definitely a product that evolves and gets better over time. I own two Google Homes (one regular and one Mini), and probably my favorite feature about them is the instant access to music you get just with your voice. Speaking of music, Google also released its $399 Google Home Max smart speaker at its October event. It has been a while since our last poll, so I wanted to ask if you guys also own any of Google’s smart speakers. Vote below!

Amazon Prime Day is today, but I bought from eBay
In case you missed it, the hotly anticipated Amazon Prime Day is today (July 11), and for the first year ever, I’m a bit impressed. Some of the deals had me checking my wallet to see if I could shell out a little consumer impulse. This year, it doesn’t feel as if the retailer wants to just discount overstock items, especially after the barrage of negative feedback it received last year. Go check it out for yourself.
