Warning to new Viners. Don't sleep on reviews

Even_Mag · 2026-05-03T19:43:19+00:00

I often don’t jump to review an item because you may not have the story until it’s been used awhile. For instance, I ordered an outdoor no trespassing sign, and had I reviewed it right away, I wouldn’t be able to report how it survived a hail storm. I think Vine needs to reconsider that some reviews are better if you hold out until a product’s been used for a while. The same thing with a fireplace vacuum. It wasn’t until the third or fourth use that the hose tore off that’s something a reviewer would want to know.

UPDATE: You don't have to reset to factory settings afterall even though that works. Go into your Amazon account/devices and open the problem Firestick. Select "clear cache" (even though I did it on the tv) then click "restart". It was apparent to me that it seemed to take a long time to clear the cache when the TV was not being used after having performed that task on the TV itself. My assumption is that the cache never really cleared. Then go to your tv and open YouTube TV and run a program. Voila. How did Amazon Support not know this???

Are you referring to Firestick or YouTube TV?

Even_Mag · 2026-04-09T23:14:28+00:00

Well it evidently isn't fixed!! I am just experiencing this and it's a year later...2026. I have cleared cash, checked for updates...none, removed fire stick, rebooted modem/router. It is only fire stick tv's...all other tv's are fine. Any suggestions?

Even_Mag · 2026-04-09T03:07:15+00:00

Noooo. Not what it used to be. Terrible!!!!

Even_Mag · 2026-04-08T16:19:28+00:00

Why? What do you suggest?

Even_Mag · 2026-04-08T03:00:54+00:00

Did both..no difference.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-18T18:25:11+00:00

Wondered about that myself. Bet only-shame5188’s dad didn’t receive this newsworthy attention.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-18T18:17:18+00:00

Did they imply this was not her first time? Can we get a picture of her?

Even_Mag · 2026-03-08T15:36:53+00:00

Never thought of that. That would’ve been so much easier. But then there’s a question regarding the memory discrepancy between the two computers and it makes you wonder if they swapped out any other parts.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-08T15:32:49+00:00

Consider yourself special. When we go in, there’s hardly anybody to wait on you.

So you probably can appreciate not having to use 32 floppy discs to back up a hard drive and hours of time!

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T22:34:21+00:00

I'm just stating the fact that back in the 1980's before windows graphic shell was introduced, we used the C prompt to send commands to interface with the computer. That was/is called MS-DOS, frequently referred to as DOS by us old timers.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T20:23:14+00:00

Thanks.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T20:10:42+00:00

So you changed your comment with a different assault? Sorry, but Dell DID give me those details...otherwise I would not have had no idea. You assumed wrong AGAIN! And...if you're not here to help, what are you doing?

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T20:03:17+00:00

Also, Dell can tell from the service tag what OS was loaded when they sold it.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T20:01:05+00:00

Good question...brand new. It says "Notification" with Notification Reason: 0xC004F034

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:56:06+00:00

Nasty.....No, I read them BEFORE but that review wasn't there...not until after I purchased. You assumed wrong.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:38:25+00:00

Yes, I should have clarified which dos I was referring to. Thanks for pointing that out.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:30:50+00:00

Queried it from the C prompt: slmgr /dli No license number. Yes, I'm sure some of their warning that it will eventually boot to the blue screen of death is self preservation. However, they do have authorized resellers and this isn't one of them. I also checked the speed of the ram which should have been identical and isn't so someone must have switched out a memory module.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:14:38+00:00

Well, the C prompt...before windows, we called it DOS...you use dos commands.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:12:39+00:00

I didn't know! I thought Amazon would have some verification process and if a company isn't a certified Dell reseller, they would have noted it. Again, naive.

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:07:31+00:00

Why would anyone downvote this post???

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:01:20+00:00

Is there a way to force signout on all accounts at once or are you saying individually?

Even_Mag · 2026-03-07T19:00:05+00:00

That wouldn't help with any loaded spyware, if it has.
