A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on Google Home and immediately set out to use it and record my initial impressions. Now that I've given this odd little device a chance to prove its worth in my home, the time has come to finish the review. Out of the gate, I must confess to a little personal surprise at just how little my opinions have changed from the first 24 hours I had to spend with the device. As such, I'm not going to repeat everything I said in my first post. This is an addendum. I will touch on all of the subjects again and add details where there is more to say – because there is still a lot to say. Also, I want to thank the commenters on that post for bringing up subjects and questions. I've tried to address most of them here.

While it surely has the typical bug fixes and performance improvements, the only visible change is a brand new counter above the chat box on live streams.

As always, if you don't already have the update, there's a download link at the bottom of the post.
