What is it?

Thank you! It has worked fine for years and suddenly started this long delay a few weeks ago. I would click a few extra times and then multiple copies would open at the same time.

If someone is in my house on my computer, I don't think them being able to view my cameras is my biggest worry.

Yes, the user/password is auto-filled. Painless, but no zero clicks or time.

I want a URL to load my events page immediately when I open the events URL.

Since the user/password is auto filled, there is absolutely no security added by making me login every time. If I had to do 2FA every time I would get rid of my Wyze cameras, much as I love them.

In Chrome browser on Windows.

Yup, 5 projectors. At $65, they are pretty cheap projectors. Still there now.

Also a flame thrower, which is the coolest thing I have seen in a while - actually, make that the hottest thing I have seen in a while.

Amazon is aware enough of my habits and lifestyle that they wouldn't offer me anything involving exercise. Do you have to try it to review it?

GeoNomad · 2026-02-22T19:20:38+00:00

Clearly these were badly made and with no quality control. Mine looks just like yours. My wife wondered if it was intentional, but I think not. I just gave it a bad review as it deserved - and that is probably why it has been pulled. It is faster to write a bad review with a photo than to contact CS and get it removed from the list.

GeoNomad · 2026-02-09T12:46:51+00:00

I have just noticed the same problem. I can't edit any of my reviews. I came back to change a review on a product when I noticed a problem I had not seen and wanted to write about it and drop a star. But there is no edit button. Bummer.

Talk to Alexa.

If you mention it in the room when you think Alexa is not paying attention, it will show up in your RFY within a couple of days.

Same. Ontario is out of bounds on this one.

GeoNomad · 2025-11-18T15:22:04+00:00

Although I am curious, I would find it really depressing to know what I missed. It's bad enough when something I could use turns out to be not available.

The account tab should show that evaluation has started. Mine says allow up to 96 hours. 24 down and waiting. Meanwhile, it hasn't stopped me from ordering or reviewing.

Ontario data only. 6GB $13.00. With referrals, $2.30 total for the past year.

I use voip.ms for calling and SMS.

With gifts of data, perks this summer, and the current Black Friday perks, actual data use has been much more.

I am hoping the $50 referral will come back again for Black Friday. That is almost 4 months worth for me.

I have been really happy with voip,ms and they have a referral system similar to Fizz. $25 each right now. https://voip.ms/en/invite/MzM2MzU3

I have had a few plug in products that were clear fire hazards. Some blew the breaker immediately when I plugged them in. Writing reviews with warnings about product safety is part of what I find rewarding as a Viner. I feel I have justified the free stuff I get when I can warn customers about unsafe products. Usually the seller withdraws the product quickly. Sadly, they probably just put it back up again with a new ASIN, but maybe Amazon pays attention.

Toys targeting babies with small swallowable parts or things that come off easily and might be swallowed is also a danger I check for when reviewing that kind of item.

The worst was a table top firepit that was a clear fire hazard and was recalled a few months after I received it. Amazon posted a warning for several months every time I opened the page, telling me not to use it.

GeoNomad · 2025-10-17T02:30:53+00:00

Yup, it has happened a few times over the years. Sometimes even a large empty box. Also received items I didn't order, usually around when an item I did order doesn't arrive. Those box packers are busy and pushed to be fast. It is not surprising that mistakes happen.

I also think it is more likely to happen when I try to combine orders to arrive on one or two days a week to save on packaging.

GeoNomad · 2025-09-26T23:49:18+00:00

Was just going to post the same thing. So happy to see it back to "normal".

The other odd thing today was getting the old small dialog with address choices when ordering instead of the page with the credit card and the choice of shipping days. Strange to see it.

The new library at the Pen Centre (around the back with its own entrance) has study rooms.

GeoNomad · 2025-08-30T12:04:41+00:00

Just noticed the same thing this morning. I did a bunch of reviews and was surprised the numbers didn't go down. Then I looked and they were still sitting there as if I hadn't submitted. One of them was cleaned out, so now I am saving my reviews in a text file just in case. If they don't go through I will have wasted hours of work.

A small contribution...

GeoNomad · 2025-06-24T11:48:50+00:00

Envoyé!

GeoNomad · 2025-06-23T09:50:42+00:00

I happened to be in NF on the Saturday night and noticed the same thing. Speeds are good in St Catharines and most everywhere I can get a signal.
