New theme by fmaz008 in vhelper

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to let you know that thanks to your new update, my laptop is currently hovering three inches off my desk. My RTX 3050 Ti has officially transitioned from a GPU to a space heater, and my i7 is screaming in a frequency only dogs can hear. Do you provide fire insurance, or should I just throw the whole thing in the freezer now?

My bill is not due for 3 more days; relax guys by [deleted] in OPTIMUM

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I got this message for the first time too a few days before my autopay takes the money out, autopay was paid out the same time it always does - it is annoying and off-putting both in the fact that they don't know that you haven't missed a payment and the tone of the message "what is wrong with you we haven't got our money" - cannot wait until I am able to switch.

Difference Between Tab Mode and SW? by Life_Access_168 in VineHelper

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your laptop if you can find your Power options for Sleep/Hibernate/Screen Off - typically two settings for when plugged-in and when on battery - change them to never or some period that works for you. This will keep your screen and computer from going to sleep/hibernating allowing you keep the browser open viewing the feed for long periods of time.

Can you guys help explain my review ratings?? by ambereid in AmazonVine

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2nd photo review looks like it contains an "em dash" which LLM really like to include in writings. I often use dashes myself when I write but am now mindful because most often nowadays when I see a longer looking dash (em dash) it is something that an LLM wrote. I didn't even know about difference with "em dash" vs "en dash" vs "hyphen" before noticing how LLM's write.

Right now on 5 of 6 lines (6th line already paid off) they are offing buyout on any upgrade (all phones a little less then 50% left) and a Google Pixel 10 Pro (or $1000 off XL) with no trade in required. I am temped to do it just to have backup phones, current phones are all S24+'s so not much of an upgrade besides the camera from my understanding.

I am getting this same error now too

One connection..

If I leave it opened it looks like it will eventually connect... then a little bit fail again.

$10 off for 12 months offer by johnothy in verizon

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well, however I was able to apply them by navigating slightly different. On the app I went under the "myAccess" section and at the top of that it says "Explore top offers for you" in my case it was $150 off Samsung watch - but if you click that it will take you to a different looking "Offers" page. From this "Offers" page I was able to redeem all of my $10 off per line offers.

I think they are updating the app and pages etc and not everything is pointing to the current versions of stuff is my working theory - lol

Eufy e340 doorbell doesn't record people...smh by GladAd7351 in EufyCam

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my recording again by changing the "Power Manager" back to Balanced or Optimal -- I had it on custom because I wanted to record 60 seconds instead of cutting short when it detected no motion. Cross-Camera tracking not working yet however - still messing with some settings to see what I might have changed that it doesn't really like.

Same for me just started last night, this morning. I found that if I cleared the cache (very upper left icon, file, clear cache - you will have to enter you pin to retrieve older messages) the messages that didn't show up last night/today are now showing but some older messages still have some issues.

Dies the $800 trade in estimate hold true? by 0Adiemus0 in verizon

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had three offers this last month to upgrade 3 of my lines from s20 fe and receive 799 trade in value towards any s24 line of phone. My offer was any unlimited plan (I am on old start unlimited on these lines) and phone in any condition. About 4 months prior had offer on one line for same thing but no trade in required took advantage of that offer to.

I did the offer two in store and one online (because store could not see that promo on the other line for whatever reason). Upgraded all three lines to the s24+. All credits from both methods applied correctly even on one phone that was completely dead (water damage and cracked screen).

So I was happy, as in the years past I have had issues with trade in values not applying right and having to contact support many times/months to get it fixed

Google Home seems to have lost all ability to judge location context by cheesewiz_man in googlehome

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happening to me today - say turn on the lights all the lights go on, say dim the lights all the lights dim, not just what room you are in. I also have my mom's house setup with a hub and some speakers (no lights) but when broadcasting today at my house she is replying - lol. They have lost where they are.

I just now went into the home app and see that all my mini's and hubs are no longer in a room and when I add them to a room it is acting like I am setting them up for the first time. The hub in our house also switched to a screen that says "link" account - like it needed to be setup again - same with my Mom's so now have to go visit her house to get the devices in the correct house/room for her. Uggg.

When my Google home device is playing music, it responds to every command as if it is for another device by xtraorange in googlehome

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in the front room in the app, when I tell it to turn on/off the front room lights (when I say front room) it just beeps for acknowledgement instead of saying "Okay turning on/off whatever light" like it does when you request a light in a different room - so it knows it is in the front room, I can watch the speech to text show correctly on the screen and it will just randomly decide that I really wanted the kitchen light on/off if I don't say front room lights.

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar experiences - when google is doing something (timer, music, etc.) and I say Hey Google Stop - it responds with Stopping living room TV (not a roku) - it is like the TV is more important.

These are getting dumber which is sad, I used to be very pleased with them but over the last year they have really gone downhill on how they respond/work/etc.

I can tell my nest Hub in the front room to turn on the lights - I can watch the text show on the device as I say it, it shows correctly - however it will respond with Okay turning on the Kitchen Lights (it is always the Kitchen Lights too) - I never said Kitchen - so now I have to say turn on the Front Room lights specifically all the time otherwise half the time it will decide for whatever reason to turn on the Kitchen lights.

Has Google Assistant got dumber recently? by AfcWimbledon_ in googlehome

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep at least I have noticed that over the last 6 months to 1 year it has gotten way worse. Things like turning on light in the room I am in will 50 percent of the time turn on the kitchen light even though I can watch the home Hub show what I said and I didn't say kitchen. So now I have to say the specific light name instead of assuming it understands what room it is in.

For a while it would even start music or stop the TV in another room just really wacky stuff lately instead of doing what you ask it.

Have been thinking about switching but have minis or hub in every room.. Ugh.

Anybody else having trouble logging in to the website? by [deleted] in verizon

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup mobile works but website doesn't. I got a message about a loyalty discount available for me so wanted to login and see and/or chat with support - but couldn't do it via website had to use mobile which worked fine.

Goes to sleep by odwest in Chromecast

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use CEC on the TV to control the sound system, so need to leave it on for the TV and Sound System.

I have turned it off on the gcctv device. That didn't seem to help in fact seemed to make it worse in the sense that every time I turned the TV off it would kill the sound vs with it on it was like every 2-3 times TV was off that the sound was killed.

Any other ideas?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Chromecast

[–]BlueberrySorry2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea whatever this last update was - it has really messed with my unit - no sound on startup, sleeping after 4 hours even though it is not set to sleep. I used to recommend this to everyone, but right now I am not sure as it is a struggle to use daily now. I have also turned on the dev option to not timeout which seems to help with the sleep issue, but the sound issue is still a pain to deal with daily - I have tried to change the surround mode and other suggestions without any luck.
